The Mayor of Madera Should Not Resign

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This might not be the best time for the left
to keep thinking that they're living in twenty twenty when
it comes to the LGBT issue. A lot of water's
gone under the bridge. Between twenty twenty and now. Twenty
twenty was sort of peak liberal insanity. I actually was
reading this book, this book called When Harry Became Sally

(00:21):
written by Ryan Anderson who he wrote it. I think
it was published around twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and he's
describing sort of the state of the transgender movement in
the late Obama era, and we all, I think we
forget right now just what a dominant place the LGBT

(00:42):
movement was in in twenty sixteen. It was right on
the twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, it was right on the
heels of the Obergia Fell Supreme Court decision, where the
Supreme Court decided, yes, there's a right to gay marriage,
and the Constitution somewhere, yes it's right there. Definitely it's
in there. So they found hidden somewhere in the contours

(01:03):
of the Constitution or right to gay marriage. And it
seemed like transgenderism was going to be the next cultural
victory of the left. This inexorable cultural victory in the
same way that gay marriage had been, and the transgender
position was so dominant, I mean, people were resigning for

(01:25):
jobs for saying like pro transgender things that weren't quite
pro transgender enough. It was nuts. And the idea was
basically anyone who held a contrary position on it was
expected to be shunned from society. And so that that,
I mean, that was basically the attitude. Well, a lot

(01:49):
of waters come under that bridge since then, to the
point where nowadays it's really people have started to recognize.
Oh the lead, the guy who won the president and
see in twenty twenty four made one of his central
campaign ads a campaign ad about you know, I'm for us,
she's for they them. The idea that transgenderism actually transgenderism

(02:16):
specifically has very little public support. This leads me to
what I think is an opinion that fit better in
twenty twenty than it does now. This is from Tad
Weber in the Fresno be who is calling for the

(02:37):
mayor of Maderra to resign. Why because she did not
want to do a formal Maderra City Council recognition for
the Madera High School gay Straight Alliance Club. Here's what

(02:59):
Tad Weber rights. A basic rule of politics is that
an elected official should not shun the constituents he or
she represents. Yet Madera's new mayor is guilty of that
very thing. Is that really a basic rule? I mean,
you probably got to shun some of them. I mean,
what if Nazis. What if there's you know, five Nazis

(03:21):
who live in Madera and they come out to see
the mayor, should the mayor shun them? Probably that she
should do some shunning. Now, obviously that's an extreme example.
I'm not saying gay people are Nazis, et cetera. However,
you don't have to not shun people if you're an

(03:43):
elected official. Yes, you are supposed to work for the
good of everyone who lives in the city. Doesn't mean
you have to have sit down meetings with every single
person in the city or be seen as supportive of
every single group that exists within the city. This idea,

(04:05):
Oh she, how dare she so? Basically what happened is
the mayor of Madera Cci Gayegos, walked out on a
formal Madera City Council recognition of the Madera High School
Gay Straight Alliance Club. She has been avoiding all Pride
Month honors made by the council since twenty twenty one,

(04:26):
reports b staff writer Eric Galicia. The latest shunning was
particularly obvious, as Galicia reports, the Madera Council last week
conducted several formal recognition ceremonies during its meeting. One was
a group photo with members from the Madera County Museum,
which Gayegos took part in. However, when it came time
to recognize the high school group, Gayagos was not to

(04:49):
be found, but she came back to the council afterward
for a Juneteenth proclamation. Galicia said. Gayegos, formerly a Democrat
and Madera's District one council member, became a Republican a
little over two years ago. She was elected mayor last November.
So Tad Weber is furious at this. He's furious that

(05:13):
Gayegos has basically avoided for the last the four years.
It looks like, and he quote Pride Month recognitions, including
for the A High school Gay Straight Alliance group. Now,
maybe Gagos takes this crazy position. I don't know. I

(05:35):
haven't talked to her. I'd love to talk to her.
Maybe Gegos takes this crazy position that I like to
call Christianity. Some of you may have heard of this,
this carpenter from Nazareth. He was actually God, and he

(05:56):
died for our sins, and he established a church and
blah blah blah blah blah, et cetera. One of the
tenets of this religion, Christianity you may have heard of,
following up on the ethical tenets of this other religion
you may have heard of, called Judaism. And by the way,
some of these ethical traditions were upheld by this other

(06:18):
religion you may have heard of, called Islam, all of
which religions constitute about half of the global population. Is
that sexual reproduction is reserved for marriage, That sexual reproduction,
the use of our sex organs, is oriented towards family,

(06:39):
that it is oriented towards the beginning of life, which
is in fact also their biological function. And that therefore
sex between sexual activity between persons of the same sex
is morally wrong. That is a belief of Christianity, and
a belief of Juism, of historic Judaism, and a belief
of Islam. Again, only several billion people believe these things.

(07:07):
So maybe c cigae Goos, holding this radical, strange foreign belief,
takes the position that she does not want herself to
be seen as endorsing sexual activity of that kind, sexual

(07:32):
activity of a kind that she believes to be unethical.
And by the way, the arguments against the same sex
marriage don't have to be restricted to religious arguments. That
one can make natural law based ethical arguments separate from

(07:53):
the specific religious revelation of Christianity or Judaism or Islam.
And furthermore, maybe they're just individual things. Maybe individual different
people might have different objections. To quote Pride month. Maybe

(08:13):
there are people who think that the L and the
G and the B are totally fine, but they're like,
you know what, this t thing that's a bridge too far.
I don't support that. I don't think children are born
in the wrong body. I don't think it's ethical to
provide and this is specifically a high school group. By

(08:34):
the way, I don't support the idea of children being
so sexualized that they that they give to give themselves
a concrete sexual identity prior to their adulthood. I don't
want children to be subjected to surgeries. I don't want

(08:55):
children to be subjected to hormonal therapy treatment. Pride Month
has wrapped its elf completely in the transgender movement, and
so maybe mayor Gayegos says, I don't want to participate
in that. I don't want to do that. I think

(09:18):
that's also could be a perfectly legitimate reason. Furthermore, the
idea you know Weber in his column he seems to
think it's particularly egregious that she didn't recognize a high
school gay Straight Alliance club. If anything, I would think
it's more problematic that it's a high school club. There

(09:41):
are more reasons to object to this as a high
school organization rather than some group of adults. It's not
even about us adults. Angela Brooks, a Maderra resident who
is LGBTQ plus, told Galicia, which one is it? That's

(10:05):
the thing? Elle means one thing. This is someone named Angela,
so presumably not G could be B though, which you know,
how sure are we about that T could be T?

(10:25):
I guess or just Q that This is Another thing
that started happening is celebrities calling themselves queer who have
no actual discernible sexual inclinations towards persons of the opposite sex.
And in fact, there's a couple of celebrities who had

(10:46):
proclaimed themselves to be lesbian or bisexual or queer who
are now marrying or dating men, like Demi Levado. Demi
Levado went through this big phase where she was like,
I think she wanted to go by different pronouns. Now
all of a sudden, she's just marrying a guy. There's
this other entertainer, her name is Jojo Siwa, who is

(11:08):
very oh, just totally draping herself in the pride, Like
now she's dating a dude and she's like, yeah, I'm
not a lesbian, which is making me think that a
lot of this stuff that's happening among celebrities is some
combination of I don't know, pure pressure, societal pressure, desire
to be popular, desire to have some kind of recognition

(11:29):
that you have some kind of ooh, some kind of
interesting identity as opposed to anything that's actually different about you. Anyway,
it's not even about us adults. Angela Brooks, a Madera
resident who is LGBTQ plus, told Galicia they gave that
award to kids. What are you telling these kids that
they don't matter? Well, I guess, if I may raising

(11:55):
my hand, I don't think kids should be recognized and
given an award based on the fact that they have
a sexual orientation, or are acclaimed sexual orientation or or
I mean, I don't know. I liked girls. I didn't
expect anyone to give me an award for it when
I was in high school. Furthermore, I think the idea

(12:18):
of defining children based on their sexual preferences seems weird.
Children who are not supposed to be having sex. According

(12:39):
to these little laws in California known as statutory rape laws,
kids aren't supposed to be having sex. So maybe miss Gegos,
the mayor of Madera, who refused to be present for
a Madei City Council honoring of a high school gay

(12:59):
Straight al Alliance club, maybe that was part of it.
That the whole enterprise of gay straight alliance clubs in
high schools is em It seems like an ify proposition.

(13:20):
Are you telling these kids they don't matter? This is
all the more ironic given that Gayegos is a teacher
in the Maderia Unified School District. So every teacher in
the Maderia Unified School District has to be thrilled about
the Gay Straight Alliance club. That's what it has to be,
every teacher in Maderia unified. Sorry, you're not allowed to
have any opinion different from this orthodoxy that tad Weber

(13:43):
is enforcing here. How does she reconcile her actions, he writes,
with her position as mayor and the teacher of local youth,
I can answer how she would recognize how she could
reconcile her actions. She thinks that this kind of sexual
activity is wrong. She thinks that children self identifying with

(14:05):
a sexual preference is maybe not the healthiest thing. She
thinks that acknowledging honoring June as quote Pride Month is
wrong given all of the different kinds of things that
Pride Month stands for, policy proposals, et cetera. That she

(14:26):
probably doesn't believe in. That I don't believe in. We
don't know whoever, writes she did not respond to Galicia's
requests for an interview, which itself is a problem. Elected
officials have a duty to answer journalists inquiries. No, they don't.

(14:49):
They do not have a duty to answer journalists inquiries.
What Bologney is this? She doesn't have a duty to
answer the Fresno bee's inquiries. Maybe you can make some
broad based democratic idea that she has to let her
constituents know what she thinks about stuff. Maybe she has
a duty to explain it in a press conference. Maybe

(15:10):
she has a duty to it. She has no Maybe
she has a duty to explain it to a different
reporter at a different outlet. She has no duty to
explain herself to the Fresno b Maybe there's a Maderra
outlet she'd like to speak to, maybe CASEY twenty four

(15:30):
or CBS forty seven or MPH Fox or ABC thirty.
She has no obligation to answer. What is this? Who
died and made you? Guys? Pope Diegos would do well
to learn from the example of Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer
and his recognition of Pride Month in his city. Then

(15:50):
it goes to tell the story of how Jerry Dyer
completely buckled on this issue and folded to full on
support of the whole LGB Pride Month, et cetera. What
Cci Guyagos must do? We'll return with Tad Weber's thoughts
on what Ceci Giago's must do. That's next on The

(16:13):
John Jubardy Show. Tad Weber from the Fresno Bee columnist
that the Fresno b demands demands that the mayor of Madera,
Cci Guyegos, resign. Why because she doesn't want to be
present when the Madera City council does various kinds of
Pride Month honors and apparently the straw that broke the

(16:34):
camel's back. The example he thinks is most egregious is
the fact that Gayego's didn't stick around for the city
council to honor a high school gay Straight Alliance club, which, again,
I would take the position of that that seems particularly

(16:55):
like a thing I would avoid. I think a high
school club centered around the alleged sexual preference of children
is a little weird, and maybe such a club, you know,
does the thing Tad Weber's like, And she's a teacher

(17:19):
in Materia Unified. How dares she not want to honor
a high school group when she's a teacher at Materia Unify.
She's telling these kids they don't matter. Maybe she knows
more about the club than you do, Tad. Maybe she
really doesn't like it. So he writes, there is power

(17:42):
in recognition when politicians do it. It shows a marginalized
group that its members are worthy and important. Yeah, like
when Joe Biden recognized traditionalist Catholics by telling the FBI
to go spy on them. Yeah, that was really that
was really great. Marginalized groups you mean the marginalized group

(18:03):
the LGBT movement, the marginalized group of the LGBT movement. Exactly,
how in California are they marginalized? They have the full
support of three quarters of the state legislature, the governor,
every elected official. They have the support of most of
the Fortune five hundred, the enormous amount of the Fortune
five hundred, which was falling over back tripping over itself

(18:27):
to institute pro LGBT DEI policies. In what sense is
this group marginalized? They are not legally marginalized, They are
not culturally marginalized. This idea, the marginalized LGBT community, Get

(18:49):
over yourselves, geez luis like there's no group on whom
more corporate government legal concern has been lavish than the
LGBT world. It shows a marginalized group that its members
are worthy and important. Okay, that's fine, Maybe she just

(19:13):
doesn't agree with it. What do you want from her.
When Gayegos refuses to even acknowledge gay members of her city,
she does the opposite and communicates that they are not valued. No,
it's more than acknowledging that they exist. It's giving them
a city commendation, a positive affirmation of what they're doing. No,

(19:38):
that is a different thing. It used to be that Republican.
This is a thing I love about liberal commentators who
say I thought Republicans were about, and it's usually either
strict libertarianism or strict libertarianism weber rights. It used to
be that Republicans stood for strong individual rights, that what

(20:00):
a person did in their private life was up to
them as long as it did not break laws or
hurt anyone else. No, that isn't what Republicans have always
been about. It's what libertarians have been about, but Republicans
have not been. Have you heard of the war on drugs?
Republicans frequently, and I think in many cases rightly try

(20:26):
to restrict private conduct at the state level and at
sometimes even the federal level when such conduct is wrong.
I mean, No, that is not what Republicans have always
stood Oh, I thought Republicans always stood for. No, Republicans
have opposed gay marriage for I don't know, for decades.

(20:50):
Prior to a Bergefel. It used to be the Republican No,
Republicans never stood for this stuff. Republicans have never supported
pride month. Republicans have never supported the t in LGBT.
It used to be Republicans didn't support the LMG and
the b either. How far the GOP has fallen from
that ideal? How far the GOP has fallen? You really

(21:11):
want Bob Dole back As far as what people's LGBT
views are, George W. Bush was getting every state in
the Union to pass laws declaring marriage to be between
a man and a woman. What is this phony presentation
of all Republicans? Or she she's failing her Republican ideals. No,
she's not. If Coya Goos is truly going to be

(21:35):
the mayor of Madera, she must represent all its people.
That is part of the mayor's job description. She cannot
pick and choose. No, representing all the people doesn't mean
agreeing with all of them. She's a Republican, she doesn't
have to agree with all the Democrats in the city. Sorry,
I mean she was elected to be a Republican mayor.

(21:59):
She's not going And by the way, what she's elected
to represent all its people. Representing means a lot of
things work for the good of all the people of Madera.
Sure initiate all of their policy preferences. No, and impossible.

(22:20):
It's impossible for a mayor to represent and enact the
viewpoints of people who disagree with each other. Gayego's probably
was elected by a lot of Christians, a lot of
Catholics who don't support Pride Month in that sense, in
the sense of affirming same sexual activities, affirming transgenderism. So

(22:45):
she is representing those people, and she would be not
representing those people if she flip flopped her position. And
by the way, those people were seemingly in the majority.
As mayor, Giegos does not have to understand or even

(23:07):
agree with personal choices made by her city's residents. Well, yeah,
if she's gonna give commendations to groups, it's an affirmation
of them. And again, this is children. I don't want
to affirm the personal choice of children with regards to
sex issues. If Giagos is unwilling, so he ends with

(23:35):
She doesn't have to understand or even agree with personal
choices made by her city's residence. But she does have
to champion the corporate cause of making Madera a stronger,
better community for all. Maybe she thinks that's what she's doing.
If Giagos is unwilling to do that, then she is
unfit to be mayor. The only There's only one thing
left for her to do. Resign. That is ridiculous. This

(23:57):
is a ridiculous column. She doesn't want to affirm Pride Month,
or affirm to a grow up of high school kids
anything about sexual preferences. She should resign. A twenty twenty
idea stuck in twenty twenty five when we return the

(24:17):
ridiculousness of the California State Assembly Democrats. Next on the
John Jrardy Show, an incident happened at the California State
Capital yesterday, but I think really demonstrates the total power
and control that Democrats have in the state legislature. So

(24:40):
California State Assembly Member Carl Demeyo was up to speak.
De Mayo is a Republican. He is also a openly
gay man. Carl the Mayo's openly gay man. The Democrats
introduced a resid allusion to honor a Pride Month and

(25:05):
Demeyo is up and he's speaking in opposition to it, specifically,
I think he's speaking in opposition to the transgender part.
And there are a bunch of very aggressive left wing
policy proposals that de Mayo does not support. Demo does
not support boys participating girl sports, he does not support
a lot of stuff relating to transgenderism, et cetera, even
though he is a gay man. So DeMeo is up speaking,

(25:26):
and then this happens.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Is it goes much further than that to endorse very
controversial and extremist policy positions, which is very unique.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Mister Demio, it's very mister Demio. Yes, please, mister raiding clerk,
can you hold mister Demayo's time? Sorry, I have a
very important announcement today, mister Juan Carrio. I understand it's
your birthday today. Members, will you join me in pushing
mister Carrillo a very happy birthday today?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay? So he gets interrupted. The Democrat who was leading
the assembly floor that day interrupts him to say that
so and so is having a birthday that day. So
he interrupts to Mayo, he holds his time. He has
a certain amount of time on the floor to speak

(26:23):
about the resolution. De Mayo waits, They applaud for someone's birthday.
De Mayo goes on, and then this exchange happens.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Hey, but you chose not to, I offered the author.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Mister Demio's just one moment, please, just a moment we're
gonna happen, mister excuse me, mister Demayo, just a moment,
mister reading clerk, can you hold mister Demayo's time? Members,
You'll have to forgive me. But on Thursday last week,
I forgot it was Damon Connolly's birthday. Can you please
join me in welcoming very happy birthday for mister Damon Connolly.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Okay, so he gets interrupted again for a different assembly
member's birthday. This continues, and then guess what in this resolution.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Mister Demaia, I'm going to have to interrupt you one
more time if you don't mind, sir, if you wantn't
mind waiting, mister reading clerk, can you hold his time? Remember,
I'm unsure if you're aware, But tomorrow is mister Gibson's birthday.
Can you all join me in wishing mister Gibson a
very very happy birthday.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
You get the idea. So, here is a Republican on
the floor of the California Assembly. They are debating a
Assembly resolution. He gets a certain amount of time to speak.
It's not forever. I think he probably gets somewhere around
five minutes to speak. They interrupt him completely unnecessarily, to

(27:59):
give birthday wishes to four different people in the Assembly.
They interrupt him four times. The Democrats do the Democrat leadership,
who's controlling the campaign, who's controlling the proceedings on the floor,
Because they have this level of control, It's insane. This

(28:27):
is something that would never fly in DC. The amount
of respect and decorum that the two parties demonstrate to
each other in Washington, d C. Between the Senate and
the House, when Republicans are in the majority, they give
great deference to the Democrats. When Democrats are in the majority,
relative to this, certainly they give great deference to the Republicans.

(28:49):
Why well, because in both DC, well, excuse me, in
both the House and the Senate in Washington, d C.
At the federal governmental level, it's pretty close Democrats and Republicans.
When they get majorities, they usually get pretty narrow majorities,
and those majorities are not enduring. Okay, Democrats prior to

(29:16):
nineteen ninety four had held the House for you know,
a really, really, really long time, but it's bopped back
and forth since nineteen ninety four. Control of the House
and Senate has bopped back and forth between Republicans and
Democrats multiple times. And both parties know if we establish

(29:37):
bad precedents with our conduct while we're in the majority,
those same bad precedents will be inflicted on us when
we get into the minority. So it's this sort of
self enforcing golden rule within the House and the Senate,
and when that golden rule gets broken, it often leads
to disaster. So Democrats started filibustering George W. Bush's judicial nominations.

(30:03):
Then Republicans started philibustering Barack Obama's judicial nominations, and Harry
Reid changed the Senate rules to say no, Republicans are
not allowed to filibuster Democrat presidential president's judicial nominations, and
Mitch McConnell on the floor of the Senate told Harry Reid,
you're going to live to regret this, and what happened.
Donald Trump gets elected in twenty sixteen, and Republicans shove

(30:25):
more Republican judges down the Democrats' throats, including three Supreme
Court justices in four years, shove more judges down Democrats'
throats than anyone thought was possible. So the lesson is
learned and severely learned. Don't screw around with the rules

(30:48):
because you're going to be in the minority. I think
that both Republicans and Democrats have learned that almost too much.
I think Republicans have learned that lesson too well that
there's no debate on the republic concide even about reforming
the filibuster rule in the Senate. I think Republicans should
examine getting rid of the philibuster rule in the Senate
because the Democrats tried to get rid of it last time.

(31:10):
They were two votes away from eliminating the filibuster rule
in the Senate so that they could pass nationwide legal
abortion and nationwide changes to voting laws, basically try to
export California's voting laws to the whole rest of the country.

(31:30):
So thank god that didn't work. But beyond that example,
there is at the very least a level of decorum
between the two sides in Washington, d C. In Sacramento,
no Republicans have had control of the California State Assembly,

(31:53):
I think for a grand total of four out of
the last like sixty years. I don't know that they've
ever had control of the State Senate. Maybe there was
one two year stretch where they had control of the
State Senate, but that was it. Democrats have controlled the
California State Legislature for decades beyond that. Democrats don't just

(32:19):
control the state legislature. They completely utterly dominated. They don't
just have a majority. And even there's certain things within
the State Assembly and the state Senate that you can
do if you have a two thirds majority. If you

(32:40):
have a two thirds majority, you can increase taxes, if
you have a two thirds majority, you can introduce state
constitutional amendments that then go on the ballot before the
voters to be ratified in a vote. And you can
do that with just a two thirds majority. Democrats don't

(33:01):
have a simple majority. They don't even have a super majority.
They have a super duper majority. They have fully three
fourths of all the seats in the Assembly and the
state Senate. Right now they're at exactly three fourths of

(33:21):
the seats. There are eighty seats in the State Assembly
Democrats have sixty of them. There are forty seats in
the state Senate. Democrats have thirty of them, perfect three
quarters for both houses. So they can do whatever they
want and they have no fear. They have no fear

(33:43):
of repercussions. What are the Republicans going to do to
them to the point where they're willing because I think
they despise Carl Demeyo. Here's Demeyo, a gay man who

(34:03):
is opposing their pride resolution, and so I think they
look at him as a blood trader basically, And I
don't think it's any mistake or coincidence that they're doing
this ridiculous, childish, petty interruption of his floor speech with
four different birthday birthday acknowledgments that they didn't have to do.

(34:29):
I don't think it's any shock that they do it
during his speech. I think they view him as a
blood trader. I think they view him as the lowest
of the low, and they have total contempt, total disdain,
and a complete don't give a crap attitude because they

(34:52):
know there will be no consequences. Not one of them
is going to face a consequence. Frankly, I'm still I
mean people keep asking me, you know, what's gonna take
for Democrats in California to wake up clearly more than
what we've had so far. I don't know. I mean,

(35:16):
did the wildfires are the wildfire is gonna move the
political needle? I don't know. They happened right after the
last election. Are people in November of twenty six gonna
remember them still? Maybe the people whose homes burned down,
and that is a lot of people. But guys, they've
been running this state into the ground for two decades
and they've faced no political ramifications for it. They just haven't.

(35:43):
They're continuing to be completely emboldened in their views. I
think in their eyes, twenty twenty four did not happen.
They continue to think that. Let me just affirm for
you guys, in the rest of the world, it's twenty
twenty five and Donald Trump won an election, and the
transgender movement is not as is not very popular, and

(36:08):
a lot of people think California is in bad shape.
You go through those doors into the state legislature, into
one of its buildings, and you're back in twenty twenty.
You're back in twenty twenty and Joe Biden's elected president
or twenty twenty one. Joe Biden is the President of

(36:28):
the United States, and the transgender movement is ascendant and
dominant and the only orthodoxy there is and blah blah
blah blah blah, and that's what one party rule achieves.
It's these kinds of procedural, ridiculous stunts. And this isn't
This is far from the worst thing Democrats have done.

(36:49):
I mean, they deliberately throw Republicans into the worst office spaces.
They'll deliberately do all kinds of petty, ridiculous nonsense. Kick
Republicans off of committees because they just don't want to
hear from them, which is another irregular thing. You would
The only time we saw it in Washington, DC was
with the January sixth Committee. When we return, does California

(37:11):
have bad pollution or not? I'm now confused. Next on
the John Girardi Show, I'm now confused. Does California have
bad air quality or good air quality? So for years
I've heard, oh, the Central Valley of California is the
worst air quality in America, And yeah, it seems pretty
darn bad. We have high levels of asthma, we have

(37:32):
you know, low visibility because of bad air quality, et cetera.
But here's a story from KTLA News in Los Angeles
says that this survey was done, saying that California has
the sixth best air quality in America after Colorado, Hawaii,

(37:52):
New Mexico, Maryland, Nebraska. So what is it? The American
Lung Association says that nine of the top fourteen worst
counties in America for lung health are in California, including
Los Angeles County at number fourteen, which feels like that
