Speaker 1 (00:00):
When you heard me say I agree with Democrats on it,
Did you get mad in there? Yeah, he's not in yet.
I probably made some other people mad about that, and
I did. They were all saying he demolished the whole
East wing. And the pictures that I saw, the whole
East Wing was demolished. I said, it looked like Putin bombed.
(00:21):
And then I saw that article on Breitbart. I made
it part of the show yesterday that showed the history
of the White House. No, that wasn't the Thomas Jefferson
was strolling around. And now the history of it. Truman gutted.
The whole inside, the whole facade has been changing and
it literally is a gift. Now, could President Trump and
(00:47):
even Press Secretary Levitt been a little bit more forthcoming.
Don't be shocked, guys, it's going to look like we destroyed,
you know. To me, it was a shock to all
of us to see that picture. At least it was
to me. But I might have been wrong about the destruction.
President Trump's a master builder. I will await how about
(01:07):
that this is the right thing to do. I will
await my final opinion until I see the end result,
and then I'll probably applaud it. I'll be like, wow,
look at that. And one satisfaction is all Democrats in
the future will be forced to see it and it
will probably give them a TDS flutter. Now, listen, we're
(01:27):
nine plus months into Trump two point zero and I'm
going to recap. I'm going to give the Trump administration
and Attorney General Pembondy. I'm going to give them a grade.
This has been a flurry of activity, has it not,
From the no Kings to South Korea now given President
(01:47):
Trump a crown. They literally gave him a gold crown.
Here comes a liberal meltdown. I'm going to go back
and remind myself and remind you about during the campaign. Hey,
a year ago, we were all like, hey, what's going
to happen in a few days? Is it going to
(02:08):
be Vice President Jesse Hands, Kamala President Kamala Harris. We
heard Trump's campaign promises. We knew what he did. At
one point we wanted it again. His campaign promises or
right secure the border, demand Europe pay their fair share
over there, renegotiate trade deals. He said he was going
(02:34):
to end some wars they wouldn't even have started if
he were president. He said he was going to get
rid of woke and DEI. He's going to go after
all the climate climate hysteria. He was going to put
pride back in the military. He was going to bring
crime down. He was going to do large scale deportations.
He said he was going to go after the drug card.
(02:54):
Tells does any of that sound familiar? Tell me anything
I just said right there. That hasn't been I won't
say accomplished. That hasn't been started yet. It's all been started.
He's done a lot of executive orders with his sharpie.
(03:15):
Now we need Congress to cut a fight it into law.
Many conservatives have said that there maybe a little disappointed
that people haven't been arrested yet for the crimes that well,
charges have been filed. It's not like you go in
and I mean, whether you're James Comy or James Cunningham
(03:38):
that lives a few blocks from here somewhere, if you
can't just go in and go hey, you're in jail.
There's a process because there's a lot of people that
colluded against us, and now that appears to be underway. Correct.
Let's doing a little reminder to myself here as well.
Slow down, think about the good things that have happened.
(04:00):
Inflation is going down and it's been Biden announced it's
about three percent. The Russia Ukraine situation has that ended,
not again. It's not our battle, That's how I look
at it. It's not our battle. I don't want any
more money going over there. People coming into our country,
that's the battle. And illegal crossings have fallen by ninety
(04:22):
five percent, the lowest levels recorded since the late nineteen sixties.
President Trump did a national emergency and did the Catch
and Release. He signed the I always think Riley gave
Lake and Riley Lake and Riley Act. Sign that he
(04:43):
has carried out more than half a million deportations in
almost half a million arrest They say one point six
million have self deported voluntarily. He got in there with
his campaign promised to in birthright citizenship and he signed
an executive order on day one. Now he's had these
rogue judges that have stepped in. He's been fighting against that.
(05:05):
There's never been a time he hadn't been fighting against
somebody that's flinging hot arrows at him. He's never had
a calm period. They're not going to allow it. The
Dei City of Fresno suit them. We're going to include
that in our language. It's derangement. Let's go to our
(05:26):
military secretary, were Pete Hegseth. I think the Secretary of Defense.
Everybody that would again never been in the armed forces.
But let me just imagine that if I were in
the Armed forces, I would want somebody that I wanted
to follow into battle. Now that doesn't mean that I
(05:46):
would look at that person and go, yeah, they're physically
they're sixty eight years old. They could really not handle
the foxhole as well. I'm not talking about that. You
can be an older gentleman and still be secondary defense
because you command that respect and you're a leader, they
would follow you into battle. Now, hex Seth, you can
(06:09):
literally'll be out on the battlefield. So I literally mean
they feel like they could follow him into battle. And
I'm glad what they've done. They're removing all the DEI
from the State Department and our Armed Forces and no
more drag queens shows a military basis. Hi, I'm Commander
(06:30):
Scott Jameson and on the weekend, I just go by Jamie.
I put on my panties and I put on my
girdle and girdle. Do they still wear girdles? I put
on my panties and my penny house and my high
heels and my bra and I go into the I
go into the well. They call that the commissary over
there in the restaurant with you know where they go
(06:51):
and drink on base and we just turn it into
a little sachet on Saturday. No more of that. That's insanity, man,
that it made it that far, that it crept into
our society, that it was there a military basis. Well,
you had the command, you're in chief going I, oh,
if you're eight years old, sure you're a boy. You
decide you went that was a command, you're in chief
(07:13):
saying it. So why wouldn't they be having them. He's
gone after the Department of Education, in civil rights, all
the university's federal funding, over all the DEI. He has
done all this doesn't mean that it's it's worked yet,
because again, these marches put the IEDs, with these judges
(07:34):
right out there in his path. Now when it comes
to tariffs, that judges have even tried to step in
and stop all this. Let me remind you back in July,
the EU accepted a fifteen percent tariff that was half
the thirty percent that he threatened, and they agreed to
end all tariffs on our stuff. The EU agreed to
(07:57):
buy seven hundred and fifty billion dollars in American energy
by twenty twenty eight, and they invested six hundred billion
in the United States. Back in July, Japan made a
similar deal fifteen percent tariff, investing five hundred and fifty
billion in the US. They pledged major purchase off US
farm and energy products. President Trump has been over there
(08:19):
shining that deal up. Did trade agreements with the UK,
with Vietnam and Denesia, the Philippines, South Korea, all at
fifteen percent. So he's getting the job done. Man. The
world is also safer because they fear him. In August,
(08:40):
Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement at the White
House that had been going on since the late nineteen eighties.
Congo Rwanda signed a piece deal the Trump administration was
involved in. Let me remind you the airstrikes in Iran.
Ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Come on, man got a
(09:08):
ceasefire Trump announced in May between India and Pakistan. Two
months later, Cambodi and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire that
was mediated by the United States, but the Israel a
mos piece agreement. I guess we had some more fighting
and then they go up. We're back to it, just
just brothers not getting along. Secured the release of the hostages. Guys.
(09:34):
Good things have happened. He's now declared burning an armed
conflict with the drug cartels. He designated them as terrorist organizations.
That's going to save lives. That's good things happening. They're
blowing the boats out of the water. You put the
National Guard in DC and in Memphis and Memphis. Overall
(09:56):
crime is now down thirteen percent. Murders have dropped twenty
eight and on October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, I
get President Trump and the entire Trump administration outside of
Attorney General BONDI. I give him an A minus and
(10:17):
I say something like that, I'm gonna hear from somebody wall.
Will you give him in an A plus? What's wrong
with you?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Man?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I would agree in a plus except for the in
vitro fertilization and Pam Bondi.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
This is the Trevor carry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
County Clerk and recorder. He held a press conference yesterday
and the current clerk recorder was there in the audience
of the press conference as well, and he's taken on
the clerk James cuss On repeated missteps. So we'll talk
with the council president, Mike Carbossi coming up here at
the bottom of the hour. You got all the Democrats
going after the ballroom, and I did again on Friday,
(10:53):
and I have since said I should have done a
little bit more research. I let the shock of it
made me say that I agree. Well, I guess on
Friday I did agree, So I did. I say what
I feel when I feel it, and it's okay to
be wrong to come back and say that you changed
your mind. I still don't know if I was wrong yet.
I don't know if I'm gonna like it or not.
It's gonna be huge, it's gonna be on the right
(11:15):
hand side thousand people. Something tells me I'll probably like it.
He's a good builder. It's gonna be integrated in well.
Now up in Sacramento, one of the most expensive buildings
in America is being built, and nobody's talking about the money.
The reporters can't get anybody listen to this reporter with
(11:36):
newsome here going right after him. Why can't we even
get a meeting? Why can't we get a response? How
much is this costing?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It has been three years since the legislature updated the
public on the cost of that project. It is happening
right now. I think maybe one of your windows could
probably oversee it. You could see the construction is happening.
But yet the Legislature's Joint Rules Committee refuses to provide
an update, with reported that they have violated the Legislative
Open Records Act are continuing to withhold public records. I
(12:05):
have asked for an interview for more than a year now,
and no one will provide an update. I mean, that
is that appropriate a on a one of the most
expensive buildings in the United States at this.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Point, Hey, everybody, look, it's the Antichrist, Like that's appropriate.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
They should provide you the information period full stop.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
But for you to conflate or compare contrasts with all
due respect, I think that I would separate the ball
rate room and what Donald Trump just did and desecration
and the process, and that he had evolved in the
fact that he secured three hundred million dollars under curious
circumstances from the annex and what the legislature's trying to do.
And I'm not trying to defend those actions, but absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, you asked me about why you haven't got an
answer in three years, and I'm going to flip it
to Trump's ballroom. But you wasn't handling this. And listen
to how slick Newsome is when he knows he's in
a corner. Listen to the skill of this man. And
that's why he's dangerous in his presidential elections, because there's
(13:07):
people that haven't had to live under his serfdom. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I'm not comparing the two. I'm just saying that you
mentioned the construction. I mean, there's construction happening in that
capital and our capital, and so that's why I'm asking
is that appropriate though? I mean truly for the public
to not know how much that building costs what.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I said, they should? You should that information in appropriate? Think,
by the way, I didn't know they were not talking
to you.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I apologize that members of legislature are not talking to you.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They're on recess. I'll check in with them, let me know.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
I'm happy to happy to help you trying to get
access to members of the California legislature with respect not
my branch of government. But I'm happy because as a taxpayer,
i'd like to know as well. I appreciate the question
you asked, and I think it would be appropriate to
provide that information and you should have access to it
the publics of Public's building. You absolutely deserve that. So, yes,
(13:59):
it's inappropriate. Yes you deserve that information, and yes we're
happy to help you.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I appreciate that as your governor, OK, I appreciate that.
Everything's good. He's good at that. Man, he's good.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Come on, man, I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I know you do, right. You ready for Reverend Gavin Newsome.
Oh yeah, he's got to go after Let's listen to
the Rev.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
It's also interesting to me because I spent a little
time at a wonderful Jesuit University. If there was anything
I remember about my four years with father cause is
that the New Testament Old Testament have one thing dominantly
in common and Matthew and Isaiah Luke proverbs.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, go down the list out for lightning.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
It's around food. It's about serving those that are hungry.
It's not a suggestion in the Old and New Testament.
It's core and central to what it is to align
to God's will, period, full stop.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Period full Can you believe this guy? Thank you, Thompson twins.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
If I say that, because these guys need to stop
the bs in Washington, DC.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
So they're sitting there in their prayer breakfasts.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Maybe they got an edited version of Donald Trump's Bible
and they edited.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
All of that out. I mean, enough of this cruelty
is the policy. That's what this is about.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
It's intentional cruelty, intentionally creating anxiety for millions and millions
of people, five point five million here in our home state.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Look at him attacking people going to a prayer breakfast.
Who would do that? Who could it be? I do
prayer every day, Thank you. I'll bring it back every day,
sometimes twice a day. Thank you, Thank you. Tom. Let's
see Gavin stop that. We're going to be talking with
a man here, President of City Council, President Mike Carbossi.
(16:00):
He wants to be the county clerk and recorder, and
that means how we vote in California.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Here.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Let's see the California Secretary of State's office said you
have a number of ways to participate. As California continues
to protect and expand your right to vote. We uphold
universal vote by mail ballots, multiple in person voting approaches,
same day voter registration for all you procrastinators, and provisional voting,
all designed to make voting accessible and secure. Can you
(16:31):
imagine running up to a cruise ship on the dock.
People are getting on with their suitcases, and people are
hugging waving goodbye. They're getting all the last minute stuff prepared,
and you run up and go, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait,
have you taken off yet? Now we're about to I
want to sign up and go on this cruise. No, no,
(16:53):
we don't know. It's too late. It's a day of
the election. You couldn't got You've been reminded in multiple
languages for multiple months. You can even look at yours
in advance now I know November fourth here, this was
a spring on a selection because the people were yelling
for this clamoring and all the people already had their
(17:14):
own commission, and no way he was asking for this,
but to ensure your vote is counted. Here's how late
you can mail your ballot in California. Angela rodriguezrozzobe dot
com wrote, out of who win, where and why, let's
see some areas of California could see delays in ballot collection.
Look at that due to a recent change in the
US Postal Service. According to Rob Bonta, the Attorney General's office,
(17:37):
it means that your ballot may not be counted if
you drop it off at a post office or USPS
mailbox on election day. Under the new post office policy,
mail in ballot sent from areas more than fifty miles
away from one of California's six regional mail processing centers
(17:58):
might not be postmarked the same day? The mailed, So
what does that mean? That would mean?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Rule?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What would that mean? More Conservative voters look at that?
Why would you even have a rule like that? They say?
Voters that missed the deadline to mail it in, which
is yesterday, should take their ballot directly to a post
office ask for a handstaff postmark to make sure it's counted.
The Attorney General said. A postmark will insure your ballot's
(18:26):
counted on time if you live it in more in
fifty miles away from one of our six regional mail
processing centers, that has to be unconstitutional. Trevor, you live
in California, A lotis You're right. You're right, they said,
Bonta said, you got you got other options. You can
drop your ballot off at a vote center or secure
drop box. You'll be good. Then, Wow, Tuesday poll's going
(18:50):
to open from seven to eight. Beginning at eight o'clock
Tuesday night, county election officials will start tallying election results.
According to the California Secretaries eight. All right, if Newsom
wins this Prop fifty thing, we'll know at eight oh six.
If he's not winning, we'll know about a month later. Yeah, probably,
you know, a few weeks before Christmas. Maybe maybe, maybe,
(19:12):
I don't know. Presdal City Council President Mike carl Bossi.
He's a candidate for the Fresne County Clerk and Recorder's office.
He took on the current clerk, James Cuss, with a
straight up press conference with James Cuss straight up in
the audience, and he brought up repeated missteps. We will
ask him about those, he joins us.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Next, This is the Trevor Kerry Show. On the Valley's
Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Mike carr Posse, also a candidate for Fresne County Clerk
and Recorder. Good to see their council member, Carl BOSSI,
I talk to you. I saw you a few days ago.
Wasn't that a nice wedding?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know, I have never attended a wedding at an
elementary school. I think their story is amazing. They met
there as elementary kids. Now they got married and.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We're talking about Nick Richardson and his new wife. City
council and Nick Richardson and that. When I heard it
at a school, I thought, okay, inside the gym and auditorium.
It was outside, and they had all the beautiful curtains
hung up. It looked like something at a Middle Eastern palace.
Didn't it a little bit of it?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It was? It was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I'll put it that way.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Nick's actually in city Hall right now. So I want
to be real careful, Kelsey, if you're listening, I loved
the wedding. It was great.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, it was. Did you take that as a negative?
Did you take that as a negative.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh no, I'm only teasing. I'm only teasing. Look at you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We got along, man. I was sitting there. I didn't
really recognize. I didn't know anybody. I look in the
road right in front of me and it's like, oh,
I know somebody in the lunch room here. All right,
I'm the new kid at school. Good to see you, man.
And I love the swords. At the end of the
Marines they walked under underneath those. That was a nice touch,
it was.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And one of them was actually an ex grandfather, which
I thought was very very touching.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That was well, good good times, tad by all. And
you held a big press conference yesterday. Tell us here
the reason why you held a press conference, and it
was in relation to the office you're running for. Updat
us on what you're upset about.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Right, So, you know, we've spoke on the show about
some of the issues we've had with elections nationally but
especially here in Presno County. And then last week Attorney
General Pam Bondi says we're going to go and send
monitors to six counties in the country. So out of
over three thy one hundred counties in the entire USA,
they've chosen six, and one of them is Fresno County.
(21:28):
And that's a really serious issue and it's really an
embarrassment for us. Why is that happening? And I think
a lot of that has to do with issues that
occurred in the past of ballot curing, like back in
twenty twenty two, but also issues have happened in recent months,
in recent years with how the Elections part Department is
run in Fresno County.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I get well, I did read were you and the
current recorder, James Cuss you both agree you're fine with
the Feds of DOJ coming in And as people have
stated this, this happens frequently, does it? Is it not?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It's a part of the process, whether it's a campaign
that wants to view it. Again, no one to interfere,
whether it's the state, whether it's the federal government. But
it has been at least I think eight nine ten
years since federal observers have come to monitor elections in
Presno County. So it is a completely kosher thing to do.
But it doesn't happen very often, and I think it's
(22:23):
very telling that it's happening now now.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Some of the issues that you brought up, this one
that I read at tv wire dot com. An example
that you cited was in the twenty twenty four election,
incorrect ballot sense voters were double counted and it almost
altered the result of an irrigation board race. I guess
is that one of the closest races that it came
to affecting and explain how incorrect ballots and double counted
(22:49):
were involved.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Okay, so basically, there was a race for the Laguna
Irrigation District close to Riverdale, the south part of the county,
and incumbent was challenged by someone. These races typically are
low key, very small universe of voters. I think it
was just over two hundred voters, and the election results
were counted and according to elections the county clerk, it
(23:10):
was a tie, and there was a you know, the
results were certified as a tie, big announcement, Oh, first
tie we've had in a long time. And so the
challenger decided to offer a recount, and so there was
a recount, and the challenger discovered during the recount said, oh,
the elections office double counted a ballot for the challenger,
(23:31):
so the incumbent actually won by one vote. The challenger
stopped the recount. Nobody said anything. The clerk didn't say
anything to anybody. I spoke to a relative of the
actual incumbent. The guy who actually won by one vote,
and he said, I was on my way back home.
I decided, you know what, I don't know about elections,
but this doesn't feel right. So he went back home.
He confronted the elections department. They said, you can do
(23:52):
a red, you can continue the recount. He did so,
and only then were they transparent and they decided, oh,
they made a mistake. They double counted. A ballot is
relative actually won by one vote, and a win is
a win. Imagine if it hadn't gone that way. Imagine
if it was a coin flip and the person who
wasn't legitimately elected to that board. And those boards have
(24:12):
real implications for farmers and for people that rely on
those farming jobs. I mean, it may sound small to
some people that kind of craps shouldn't be happening, but
that isn't even the biggest issue we're facing people right now.
Forget what happened last November, and you know this, people
right now are reporting getting multiple ballots for the same
election for this per prop fifty. People are telling me
(24:33):
they're getting duplicate ballots, ballots for people that have moved,
even ballots for the deceased and that's what we're calling
zombie ballots, Trevor. So these problems are one hundred percent
preventable if only the current county clerk would properly make
hiner voter roles. That's why my last thing I want
to say before you chime in is I am calling
on your listeners. If anyone has one of these zombie ballots,
(24:55):
especially if you've reported it before and nothing has changed,
please go to my website. Mike's for Fresno dot com.
That's Mike f O r President dot com. Click on
the button that says secure our elections, report it and
we're going to make sure it goes to someone who's
going to fold the department accountable.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
All right, he's Council President Carbossi running for Fresno County
Clerk and Recorder. Mike for Fresno dot com. You brought
up the irrigation board race there. Thank you for that
explanation on that. And you know it was a few votes,
one vote difference. We have some congressional races where there's
hundreds of vote differences. Who represents us in in DC?
(25:31):
And I read a quote here and this is again
from that gv wire dot com article, that James Couss
set up to eight percent of voters in Fresno County
may receive multiple ballots. How to eight percent that I'm
done by that as if well, it's not really gonna matter.
Uh wow. That that the Feds. The FEDS need to
(25:55):
come in.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I talk about celebrating mediocrity. This the difference with a
bureaucrat versus a public serving and this is what happens.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I think.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Look, he's never been challenged by anybody. It's never good
to have an elected who goes unopposed like that. This
is the first time voters have much hass to decide.
If you think things are going great and you're happy
and you have a trusted integrity and how elections are
run in the President county, you've got your candidate. But
if you're like me and you believe things can be
better like they used to be, because these problems didn't
always exist, and we want to go back to the
(26:25):
way things were where you didn't have to wait forever
to vote in line, in line, if you wanted to
vote at the polls, and you had the option, convenient
option to vote at the polls. I'm the person who's
going to be your advocate, because they created a system
where basically they make it difficult to vote at polling places.
In fact, he's eliminated polling places. We only have a
handful of vote centers because once we joined what's called
(26:47):
the Voter Choice Act, there's a formula and they're based
on population. You have to have a minimum number of
vote centers. And that's great, but some people, especially in
rural areas, are driving very far if they want to
go and vote, and the response is let him vote
absente you. No, people don't always trust the system. People
have a right if they want to go and vote.
He even said, I think in some article after the
(27:08):
last election it was the biggest increase in voters switch
choosing not to vote absentee and voting at the pulse
because they don't trust the system. They want to see
their votes count. But what really disenfranchises voters and what
pisses me off, Trevor, I saw it with my own eyes.
There were voters who were voting at the polls. They
were seniors. They were waiting in mind, not twenty thirty
forty five minutes after an hour and a half and
(27:31):
they turned away and went home. They didn't get to vote,
and they weren't disenfranchise by any shenanigans. They were disenfranchised
by poor leadership and a bureaucratic, lazy ass clerk. And
that's what we have right now.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, let me ask you, he's not James Gus's not
here to defend himself. He quoted he said that you
don't know the law regarding your criticism of the time
it takes to count the ballots. In all of this,
let me ask you, how much do you think is
affected by the state and how much of this that
you're saying he's not doing correctly? Like if you were
the clerk or recorder, you'd have to go along with
(28:04):
this state. And it's a crazy state. Man. They want
old ladies to turn away. I think they want everybody
to get into the mailing.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, I think that's what I think based on his
decision making, that's what the current clerk wants. And maybe
he doesn't want that, but his actions seek louder than
his words. Now, of course he's going to make a
statement like that. That's what a politician would say. Nobody
knows what but mean with the current clerk, you're going
to get excuses instead of answers. Okay, you're not going
to get accountability, You're gonna get occuscation. That's what he does.
(28:33):
He wants people to think that it's okay that he
said eight percent. It's probably more people get three, four
or five ballots an election. He's active ballots out there,
and they said.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
How that happens, How that happens? How does that happen?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
He claims that, well, somebody could change their address, they
can change their political party. Okay, that's two. What about
the other two or three they're getting. I mean again,
like I said, you've got to read between the lines.
He's coming up with excuses and oh, no one has
more experience than he does. Of course, not yet. Are
you telling me that it's okay that people have to
wait in line for hours that they want to go
(29:07):
and vote, that we've eliminated pulling places from churches, that
was his decision, by the way, a terrible mistake, because
they were so conveniently located and accessible to people. Those
are decisions he made. No one, but he made those decisions,
which makes it harder for people to vote. I think
that disr diferent franchises voters more than anybody. And you know,
I think it's very, very unfortunate that he chooses finally
(29:30):
to speak up and do something when he finally has
an opponent. But what has he been doing for six years?
I mean, honestly, this is what Reresno County elections weren't
like this before. You can remember how things used to be.
I mean, the last third, we didn't have these questions.
She did a great job. And some people are better,
you know, workers, they're better middle managers when you get
(29:52):
the top job. This is an elected position. It means
you serve the people. You operate with a sense of urgency.
It's not about excuses and saying, oh well, it's law.
There may be some laws, like we've talked about with
voter ID. But here's my question. If the law is
so bad it's making things worse, what the hell has
he been doing to advocate the politicians and Sacramento to
change the laws. The answer is zero, He's done nothing,
(30:14):
and I think that is very telling.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Well, I think if I left a key in a
lock box, I'd resign, kind of like a Japanese soldier
falling on his sword. An honor thing.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
When you're the kind of guy that is the only
game in town that didn't have to earn this job
through an election. Who act thinks, well, you know, no
one's gonna question me. You won't even care at the
very least, no matter who wins this election next June,
and it's up to the voters, I'm gonna make sure
he gives a damn about the people he serves, because
the other day he made some kind of comment that
he's not a member of the boarder supervisors or a
(30:46):
politician like on the city council, where we serve people.
He has a job to do as a clerk. That
is a bunch of malarkey. He is an elected official.
He is supposed to serve the people of the county.
That is what elected means. I don't think he understands
that because he was never truly elected. Nobody ran against him.
And we're going to change that. At the very least,
we're going to change that and make sure he make
(31:08):
sure he respects the constituents he's supposed to serve. If
I find that statement really offensive, it worked hard to
get elected. You know what I had to go through.
I ran a couple of times. I was young. I
didn't make it. The people finally trusted me, and I've
never forgotten that. I've never wanted to let them down.
So to have someone that has the position through an
appointment and wants to say, well, you know, I don't
(31:28):
answer to the people unacceptable to me.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Would you agree with you know, people say mailing out ballots,
we're going to have issues Up in Sacramento, there was
like one hundred and some odd ballots out in a
transient field out there. We've had all these examples of ballots,
but now we actually have something. Actually it's a number,
and I would think for the people that say it's
not a good idea to do this in California, this
(31:51):
is the headline that the Fresno County Clerk and Recorders
stated up to eight percent of voters may receive multiple
ballots in Fresno. That is a stat that shows this
does not work. This isn't point eight or point eight,
this is eight percent. We're almost up to ten percent.
I mean, that's that's staggering to me.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Frankfully, I don't trust his numbers. He says eight, but
who knows. This is a guy that couldn't count an
irrigation board race.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
But even five even three percent, I would be like,
this is this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It's it's a failure point. It's terrible. We can't have that.
I'll just put it this way. What are you doing
to make it better? Not much. There are people still
getting duplicate ballots. I have one resident who said she
got three ballots in her name yesterday. She fell out
the form online. Let me know. She called the elections
(32:46):
office and she was told two things. Number One, she
told me that they told me throw the other two away.
Throw them away. Okay, I don't know why they would
tell her that, but they told her to do that
rather than surrender them. That was one thing they told
her to do. And the other thing is she said
they made me feel like I was bothered that And
that's the kind of stuff I've heard before about the
clerk's office in the elections office. And that's the management
style you serve the people when someone calls that as
(33:08):
your customer, you have to force the present and answer
questions accurately as much as you can. That's what we
do with the city at Fresno. That's what they do
with the county at Presno. But apparently the current.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I called about a dog I called about a doll
out here and got a snarky attitude from the city.
But any I'll go ahead, if.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You want to call me, then we'll make sure you
get taken care of.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Hey, you know what it's like. I'm sitting here thinking.
You know, it's like the guy that's hired to flip
the Super Bowl lights on and off. He has a
year to get ready for it. You know, they got
time to prepare for this. There should be I always
say when the president or a governor talks and they
get feedback on the mic that sound person at one job,
fire them. You got one job, just do it correctly.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Look, this is the first time ever the voters of
this county can decide if they're going to rehire or
fire the current county clerk. I think that when you
look at all the information and when you ask yourself,
do I feel better about elections now than I did
six years ago when you started, I think the answer
is no. Things have gotten worse. And I think that
alone should be enough to convince voters that we need
to change. And I'm I am really proud to finally
(34:14):
step up and hope to offer that change in people
of this accounting.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, and it's a nonpartisan position. But I know, I
know you're a blue dog dem And the reason I
know that you just used a Joe Biden word in
this interview. Do you remember what the word you use?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well, I forgot, like like Joe Biden did.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Malarkey, that was his big word.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
But but I really want to use is another word.
I can't use it, so I don't want to get
your fun at SCC.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Hey, thank you. Give the website out again here.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, please go to Mike for Fresno Mike Farfo dot com,
click on secure our elections. If you've received a ballot
from a deceased person, one of those zombie ballots, or
someone someone who does moved away and you reported it,
or even multi ballots in your name, let us know
so we can make sure it's held accountable and make
sure that eight percent number really is eight percent, not
(35:06):
ten twenty thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate your time. Thanks troubling you,
bet you, And you know what, eight percent of voters
in Freslo County may receive multiple ballots. That is that's malarkey.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Stop it, stop it now.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I agree, Joe, this is the Trevor Cherry Show on
the Valley. He's power talk.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Here. The guy last night, I don't know. They just
sing the Canadian national anthem. I couldn't quite. That's what
I was trying to hear, to see if because last
night the guy that sang it sings something that he
changed the words up to ocnnad or is and he
included on native land, like they stole the land for
people before through that in there as well. All Right,
it's gonna be a gate game five tonight the Dodgers
(35:47):
in the Blue Jays. Last night blue Jays won six
to two. It's like everybody was still stunned from the
night before. A texted my mom this morning, I go,
are you still tired from the eighteen inning game? I am?
And it was over at midnight here, it was over
at two am in Tennessee. And yeah, they stayed up
till for the whole thing. But yeah, I did feel that,
(36:08):
I mean, staying up to midnight. That's very rare these
days for myself. So I think a lot of people
felt that. You know, a lot of people in Toronto
were dragging staying up till three am then taking an hour,
you know, the real fans probably took him an hour
to get the brain to come down from all of that.
It was I have not watched baseball in a few years,
(36:32):
but my whole life, I've watched baseball my whole life.
I remember ninety two, ninety three with the Blue Jays,
with Carter hitting that home run to win it, and
I so didn't want a Canadian team to win. My
wife at the time, the mother of my five kids,
the long marriage I call it. She's half Canadian, half American.
(36:53):
Her dad was Canadian, her mom was American. He was
Canadian Air Force, so she was all Blue Jays. Yeah, Canada.
I was just like, they're not gonna win. No, no
Canadian team's gonna win the American Pastime World Series. So
I got kind of a double field here against the
Blue Jays. I do not want Canada to win our
World Series. That's how I look at it. And all
(37:13):
the back and forth and running the fake Ronald Reagan
commercials angry angry, rightfully so justifiable anger. Trade deals looking
good over in the Far East, mineral deals are being signed.
(37:34):
And this is good because I was talking about what
we need for our military. Correct we need this, We
need these rare earth minerals, for the high technology, for
the drones, for the radar, for the F thirty fives,
for everything like that. So this is good what's going on,
and I highlighted that yesterday. It's very important for our military.
But President Trump's going to work out something with China.
(37:54):
Looks like, but remember when Neville Chamberlain came back to
the UK with the peace illness and from Hitler. Now
President Trump's definitely not Chamberlain. But President Trump's dealing with
a already an industrial base that's been decimated.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
This is the Trevor carry Show, Mondo Valley's Power Talk
When you heard me say I agree with Democrats on it,
Did you get mad in there? Yeah, he's not in yet.
I probably made some other people mad about that, and
I did. They were all saying he demolished the whole
East wing. And the pictures that I saw, the whole
East Wing was demolished. I said, it looked like Putin bombed.
(00:21):
And then I saw that article on Breitbart. I made
it part of the show yesterday that showed the history
of the White House. No, that wasn't the Thomas Jefferson
was strolling around. And now the history of it. Truman gutted.
The whole inside, the whole facade has been changing and
it literally is a gift. Now, could President Trump and
(00:47):
even Press Secretary Levitt been a little bit more forthcoming.
Don't be shocked, guys, it's going to look like we destroyed,
you know. To me, it was a shock to all
of us to see that picture. At least it was
to me. But I might have been wrong about the destruction.
President Trump's a master builder. I will await how about
(01:07):
that this is the right thing to do. I will
await my final opinion until I see the end result,
and then I'll probably applaud it. I'll be like, wow,
look at that. And one satisfaction is all Democrats in
the future will be forced to see it and it
will probably give them a TDS flutter. Now, listen, we're
(01:27):
nine plus months into Trump two point zero and I'm
going to recap. I'm going to give the Trump administration
and Attorney General Pembondy. I'm going to give them a grade.
This has been a flurry of activity, has it not,
From the no Kings to South Korea now given President
(01:47):
Trump a crown. They literally gave him a gold crown.
Here comes a liberal meltdown. I'm going to go back
and remind myself and remind you about during the campaign. Hey,
a year ago, we were all like, hey, what's going
to happen in a few days? Is it going to
(02:08):
be Vice President Jesse Hands, Kamala President Kamala Harris. We
heard Trump's campaign promises. We knew what he did. At
one point we wanted it again. His campaign promises or
right secure the border, demand Europe pay their fair share
over there, renegotiate trade deals. He said he was going
(02:34):
to end some wars they wouldn't even have started if
he were president. He said he was going to get
rid of woke and DEI. He's going to go after
all the climate climate hysteria. He was going to put
pride back in the military. He was going to bring
crime down. He was going to do large scale deportations.
He said he was going to go after the drug card.
(02:54):
Tells does any of that sound familiar? Tell me anything
I just said right there. That hasn't been I won't
say accomplished. That hasn't been started yet. It's all been started.
He's done a lot of executive orders with his sharpie.
(03:15):
Now we need Congress to cut a fight it into law.
Many conservatives have said that there maybe a little disappointed
that people haven't been arrested yet for the crimes that well,
charges have been filed. It's not like you go in
and I mean, whether you're James Comy or James Cunningham
(03:38):
that lives a few blocks from here somewhere, if you
can't just go in and go hey, you're in jail.
There's a process because there's a lot of people that
colluded against us, and now that appears to be underway. Correct.
Let's doing a little reminder to myself here as well.
Slow down, think about the good things that have happened.
(04:00):
Inflation is going down and it's been Biden announced it's
about three percent. The Russia Ukraine situation has that ended,
not again. It's not our battle, That's how I look
at it. It's not our battle. I don't want any
more money going over there. People coming into our country,
that's the battle. And illegal crossings have fallen by ninety
(04:22):
five percent, the lowest levels recorded since the late nineteen sixties.
President Trump did a national emergency and did the Catch
and Release. He signed the I always think Riley gave
Lake and Riley Lake and Riley Act. Sign that he
(04:43):
has carried out more than half a million deportations in
almost half a million arrest They say one point six
million have self deported voluntarily. He got in there with
his campaign promised to in birthright citizenship and he signed
an executive order on day one. Now he's had these
rogue judges that have stepped in. He's been fighting against that.
(05:05):
There's never been a time he hadn't been fighting against
somebody that's flinging hot arrows at him. He's never had
a calm period. They're not going to allow it. The
Dei City of Fresno suit them. We're going to include
that in our language. It's derangement. Let's go to our
(05:26):
military secretary, were Pete Hegseth. I think the Secretary of Defense.
Everybody that would again never been in the armed forces.
But let me just imagine that if I were in
the Armed forces, I would want somebody that I wanted
to follow into battle. Now that doesn't mean that I
(05:46):
would look at that person and go, yeah, they're physically
they're sixty eight years old. They could really not handle
the foxhole as well. I'm not talking about that. You
can be an older gentleman and still be secondary defense
because you command that respect and you're a leader, they
would follow you into battle. Now, hex Seth, you can
(06:09):
literally'll be out on the battlefield. So I literally mean
they feel like they could follow him into battle. And
I'm glad what they've done. They're removing all the DEI
from the State Department and our Armed Forces and no
more drag queens shows a military basis. Hi, I'm Commander
(06:30):
Scott Jameson and on the weekend, I just go by Jamie.
I put on my panties and I put on my
girdle and girdle. Do they still wear girdles? I put
on my panties and my penny house and my high
heels and my bra and I go into the I
go into the well. They call that the commissary over
there in the restaurant with you know where they go
(06:51):
and drink on base and we just turn it into
a little sachet on Saturday. No more of that. That's insanity, man,
that it made it that far, that it crept into
our society, that it was there a military basis. Well,
you had the command, you're in chief going I, oh,
if you're eight years old, sure you're a boy. You
decide you went that was a command, you're in chief
(07:13):
saying it. So why wouldn't they be having them. He's
gone after the Department of Education, in civil rights, all
the university's federal funding, over all the DEI. He has
done all this doesn't mean that it's it's worked yet,
because again, these marches put the IEDs, with these judges
(07:34):
right out there in his path. Now when it comes
to tariffs, that judges have even tried to step in
and stop all this. Let me remind you back in July,
the EU accepted a fifteen percent tariff that was half
the thirty percent that he threatened, and they agreed to
end all tariffs on our stuff. The EU agreed to
(07:57):
buy seven hundred and fifty billion dollars in American energy
by twenty twenty eight, and they invested six hundred billion
in the United States. Back in July, Japan made a
similar deal fifteen percent tariff, investing five hundred and fifty
billion in the US. They pledged major purchase off US
farm and energy products. President Trump has been over there
(08:19):
shining that deal up. Did trade agreements with the UK,
with Vietnam and Denesia, the Philippines, South Korea, all at
fifteen percent. So he's getting the job done. Man. The
world is also safer because they fear him. In August,
(08:40):
Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement at the White
House that had been going on since the late nineteen eighties.
Congo Rwanda signed a piece deal the Trump administration was
involved in. Let me remind you the airstrikes in Iran.
Ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Come on, man got a
(09:08):
ceasefire Trump announced in May between India and Pakistan. Two
months later, Cambodi and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire that
was mediated by the United States, but the Israel a
mos piece agreement. I guess we had some more fighting
and then they go up. We're back to it, just
just brothers not getting along. Secured the release of the hostages. Guys.
(09:34):
Good things have happened. He's now declared burning an armed
conflict with the drug cartels. He designated them as terrorist organizations.
That's going to save lives. That's good things happening. They're
blowing the boats out of the water. You put the
National Guard in DC and in Memphis and Memphis. Overall
(09:56):
crime is now down thirteen percent. Murders have dropped twenty
eight and on October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, I
get President Trump and the entire Trump administration outside of
Attorney General BONDI. I give him an A minus and
(10:17):
I say something like that, I'm gonna hear from somebody wall.
Will you give him in an A plus? What's wrong
with you?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Man?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I would agree in a plus except for the in
vitro fertilization and Pam Bondi.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
This is the Trevor carry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
County Clerk and recorder. He held a press conference yesterday
and the current clerk recorder was there in the audience
of the press conference as well, and he's taken on
the clerk James cuss On repeated missteps. So we'll talk
with the council president, Mike Carbossi coming up here at
the bottom of the hour. You got all the Democrats
going after the ballroom, and I did again on Friday,
(10:53):
and I have since said I should have done a
little bit more research. I let the shock of it
made me say that I agree. Well, I guess on
Friday I did agree, So I did. I say what
I feel when I feel it, and it's okay to
be wrong to come back and say that you changed
your mind. I still don't know if I was wrong yet.
I don't know if I'm gonna like it or not.
It's gonna be huge, it's gonna be on the right
(11:15):
hand side thousand people. Something tells me I'll probably like it.
He's a good builder. It's gonna be integrated in well.
Now up in Sacramento, one of the most expensive buildings
in America is being built, and nobody's talking about the money.
The reporters can't get anybody listen to this reporter with
(11:36):
newsome here going right after him. Why can't we even
get a meeting? Why can't we get a response? How
much is this costing?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
It has been three years since the legislature updated the
public on the cost of that project. It is happening
right now. I think maybe one of your windows could
probably oversee it. You could see the construction is happening.
But yet the Legislature's Joint Rules Committee refuses to provide
an update, with reported that they have violated the Legislative
Open Records Act are continuing to withhold public records. I
(12:05):
have asked for an interview for more than a year now,
and no one will provide an update. I mean, that
is that appropriate a on a one of the most
expensive buildings in the United States at this.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Point, Hey, everybody, look, it's the Antichrist, Like that's appropriate.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
They should provide you the information period full stop.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
But for you to conflate or compare contrasts with all
due respect, I think that I would separate the ball
rate room and what Donald Trump just did and desecration
and the process, and that he had evolved in the
fact that he secured three hundred million dollars under curious
circumstances from the annex and what the legislature's trying to do.
And I'm not trying to defend those actions, but absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, you asked me about why you haven't got an
answer in three years, and I'm going to flip it
to Trump's ballroom. But you wasn't handling this. And listen
to how slick Newsome is when he knows he's in
a corner. Listen to the skill of this man. And
that's why he's dangerous in his presidential elections, because there's
(13:07):
people that haven't had to live under his serfdom. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I'm not comparing the two. I'm just saying that you
mentioned the construction. I mean, there's construction happening in that
capital and our capital, and so that's why I'm asking
is that appropriate though? I mean truly for the public
to not know how much that building costs what.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I said, they should? You should that information in appropriate? Think,
by the way, I didn't know they were not talking
to you.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I apologize that members of legislature are not talking to you.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They're on recess. I'll check in with them, let me know.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
I'm happy to happy to help you trying to get
access to members of the California legislature with respect not
my branch of government. But I'm happy because as a taxpayer,
i'd like to know as well. I appreciate the question
you asked, and I think it would be appropriate to
provide that information and you should have access to it
the publics of Public's building. You absolutely deserve that. So, yes,
(13:59):
it's inappropriate. Yes you deserve that information, and yes we're
happy to help you.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I appreciate that as your governor, OK, I appreciate that.
Everything's good. He's good at that. Man, he's good.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Come on, man, I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I know you do, right. You ready for Reverend Gavin Newsome.
Oh yeah, he's got to go after Let's listen to
the Rev.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
It's also interesting to me because I spent a little
time at a wonderful Jesuit University. If there was anything
I remember about my four years with father cause is
that the New Testament Old Testament have one thing dominantly
in common and Matthew and Isaiah Luke proverbs.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, go down the list out for lightning.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
It's around food. It's about serving those that are hungry.
It's not a suggestion in the Old and New Testament.
It's core and central to what it is to align
to God's will, period, full stop.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Period full Can you believe this guy? Thank you, Thompson twins.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
If I say that, because these guys need to stop
the bs in Washington, DC.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
So they're sitting there in their prayer breakfasts.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Maybe they got an edited version of Donald Trump's Bible
and they edited.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
All of that out. I mean, enough of this cruelty
is the policy. That's what this is about.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
It's intentional cruelty, intentionally creating anxiety for millions and millions
of people, five point five million here in our home state.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Look at him attacking people going to a prayer breakfast.
Who would do that? Who could it be? I do
prayer every day, Thank you. I'll bring it back every day,
sometimes twice a day. Thank you, Thank you. Tom. Let's
see Gavin stop that. We're going to be talking with
a man here, President of City Council, President Mike Carbossi.
(16:00):
He wants to be the county clerk and recorder, and
that means how we vote in California.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Here.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Let's see the California Secretary of State's office said you
have a number of ways to participate. As California continues
to protect and expand your right to vote. We uphold
universal vote by mail ballots, multiple in person voting approaches,
same day voter registration for all you procrastinators, and provisional voting,
all designed to make voting accessible and secure. Can you
(16:31):
imagine running up to a cruise ship on the dock.
People are getting on with their suitcases, and people are
hugging waving goodbye. They're getting all the last minute stuff prepared,
and you run up and go, hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait,
have you taken off yet? Now we're about to I
want to sign up and go on this cruise. No, no,
(16:53):
we don't know. It's too late. It's a day of
the election. You couldn't got You've been reminded in multiple
languages for multiple months. You can even look at yours
in advance now I know November fourth here, this was
a spring on a selection because the people were yelling
for this clamoring and all the people already had their
(17:14):
own commission, and no way he was asking for this,
but to ensure your vote is counted. Here's how late
you can mail your ballot in California. Angela rodriguezrozzobe dot
com wrote, out of who win, where and why, let's
see some areas of California could see delays in ballot collection.
Look at that due to a recent change in the
US Postal Service. According to Rob Bonta, the Attorney General's office,
(17:37):
it means that your ballot may not be counted if
you drop it off at a post office or USPS
mailbox on election day. Under the new post office policy,
mail in ballot sent from areas more than fifty miles
away from one of California's six regional mail processing centers
(17:58):
might not be postmarked the same day? The mailed, So
what does that mean? That would mean?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Rule?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What would that mean? More Conservative voters look at that?
Why would you even have a rule like that? They say?
Voters that missed the deadline to mail it in, which
is yesterday, should take their ballot directly to a post
office ask for a handstaff postmark to make sure it's counted.
The Attorney General said. A postmark will insure your ballot's
(18:26):
counted on time if you live it in more in
fifty miles away from one of our six regional mail
processing centers, that has to be unconstitutional. Trevor, you live
in California, A lotis You're right. You're right, they said,
Bonta said, you got you got other options. You can
drop your ballot off at a vote center or secure
drop box. You'll be good. Then, Wow, Tuesday poll's going
(18:50):
to open from seven to eight. Beginning at eight o'clock
Tuesday night, county election officials will start tallying election results.
According to the California Secretaries eight. All right, if Newsom
wins this Prop fifty thing, we'll know at eight oh six.
If he's not winning, we'll know about a month later. Yeah, probably,
you know, a few weeks before Christmas. Maybe maybe, maybe,
(19:12):
I don't know. Presdal City Council President Mike carl Bossi.
He's a candidate for the Fresne County Clerk and Recorder's office.
He took on the current clerk, James Cuss, with a
straight up press conference with James Cuss straight up in
the audience, and he brought up repeated missteps. We will
ask him about those, he joins us.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Next, This is the Trevor Kerry Show. On the Valley's
Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Mike carr Posse, also a candidate for Fresne County Clerk
and Recorder. Good to see their council member, Carl BOSSI,
I talk to you. I saw you a few days ago.
Wasn't that a nice wedding?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know, I have never attended a wedding at an
elementary school. I think their story is amazing. They met
there as elementary kids. Now they got married and.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We're talking about Nick Richardson and his new wife. City
council and Nick Richardson and that. When I heard it
at a school, I thought, okay, inside the gym and auditorium.
It was outside, and they had all the beautiful curtains
hung up. It looked like something at a Middle Eastern palace.
Didn't it a little bit of it?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It was? It was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I'll put it that way.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Nick's actually in city Hall right now. So I want
to be real careful, Kelsey, if you're listening, I loved
the wedding. It was great.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, it was. Did you take that as a negative?
Did you take that as a negative.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh no, I'm only teasing. I'm only teasing. Look at you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We got along, man. I was sitting there. I didn't
really recognize. I didn't know anybody. I look in the
road right in front of me and it's like, oh,
I know somebody in the lunch room here. All right,
I'm the new kid at school. Good to see you, man.
And I love the swords. At the end of the
Marines they walked under underneath those. That was a nice touch,
it was.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And one of them was actually an ex grandfather, which
I thought was very very touching.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That was well, good good times, tad by all. And
you held a big press conference yesterday. Tell us here
the reason why you held a press conference, and it
was in relation to the office you're running for. Updat
us on what you're upset about.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Right, So, you know, we've spoke on the show about
some of the issues we've had with elections nationally but
especially here in Presno County. And then last week Attorney
General Pam Bondi says we're going to go and send
monitors to six counties in the country. So out of
over three thy one hundred counties in the entire USA,
they've chosen six, and one of them is Fresno County.
(21:28):
And that's a really serious issue and it's really an
embarrassment for us. Why is that happening? And I think
a lot of that has to do with issues that
occurred in the past of ballot curing, like back in
twenty twenty two, but also issues have happened in recent months,
in recent years with how the Elections part Department is
run in Fresno County.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I get well, I did read were you and the
current recorder, James Cuss you both agree you're fine with
the Feds of DOJ coming in And as people have
stated this, this happens frequently, does it? Is it not?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It's a part of the process, whether it's a campaign
that wants to view it. Again, no one to interfere,
whether it's the state, whether it's the federal government. But
it has been at least I think eight nine ten
years since federal observers have come to monitor elections in
Presno County. So it is a completely kosher thing to do.
But it doesn't happen very often, and I think it's
(22:23):
very telling that it's happening now now.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Some of the issues that you brought up, this one
that I read at tv wire dot com. An example
that you cited was in the twenty twenty four election,
incorrect ballot sense voters were double counted and it almost
altered the result of an irrigation board race. I guess
is that one of the closest races that it came
to affecting and explain how incorrect ballots and double counted
(22:49):
were involved.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Okay, so basically, there was a race for the Laguna
Irrigation District close to Riverdale, the south part of the county,
and incumbent was challenged by someone. These races typically are
low key, very small universe of voters. I think it
was just over two hundred voters, and the election results
were counted and according to elections the county clerk, it
(23:10):
was a tie, and there was a you know, the
results were certified as a tie, big announcement, Oh, first
tie we've had in a long time. And so the
challenger decided to offer a recount, and so there was
a recount, and the challenger discovered during the recount said, oh,
the elections office double counted a ballot for the challenger,
(23:31):
so the incumbent actually won by one vote. The challenger
stopped the recount. Nobody said anything. The clerk didn't say
anything to anybody. I spoke to a relative of the
actual incumbent. The guy who actually won by one vote,
and he said, I was on my way back home.
I decided, you know what, I don't know about elections,
but this doesn't feel right. So he went back home.
He confronted the elections department. They said, you can do
(23:52):
a red, you can continue the recount. He did so,
and only then were they transparent and they decided, oh,
they made a mistake. They double counted. A ballot is
relative actually won by one vote, and a win is
a win. Imagine if it hadn't gone that way. Imagine
if it was a coin flip and the person who
wasn't legitimately elected to that board. And those boards have
(24:12):
real implications for farmers and for people that rely on
those farming jobs. I mean, it may sound small to
some people that kind of craps shouldn't be happening, but
that isn't even the biggest issue we're facing people right now.
Forget what happened last November, and you know this, people
right now are reporting getting multiple ballots for the same
election for this per prop fifty. People are telling me
(24:33):
they're getting duplicate ballots, ballots for people that have moved,
even ballots for the deceased and that's what we're calling
zombie ballots, Trevor. So these problems are one hundred percent
preventable if only the current county clerk would properly make
hiner voter roles. That's why my last thing I want
to say before you chime in is I am calling
on your listeners. If anyone has one of these zombie ballots,
(24:55):
especially if you've reported it before and nothing has changed,
please go to my website. Mike's for Fresno dot com.
That's Mike f O r President dot com. Click on
the button that says secure our elections, report it and
we're going to make sure it goes to someone who's
going to fold the department accountable.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
All right, he's Council President Carbossi running for Fresno County
Clerk and Recorder. Mike for Fresno dot com. You brought
up the irrigation board race there. Thank you for that
explanation on that. And you know it was a few votes,
one vote difference. We have some congressional races where there's
hundreds of vote differences. Who represents us in in DC?
(25:31):
And I read a quote here and this is again
from that gv wire dot com article, that James Couss
set up to eight percent of voters in Fresno County
may receive multiple ballots. How to eight percent that I'm
done by that as if well, it's not really gonna matter.
Uh wow. That that the Feds. The FEDS need to
(25:55):
come in.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I talk about celebrating mediocrity. This the difference with a
bureaucrat versus a public serving and this is what happens.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I think.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Look, he's never been challenged by anybody. It's never good
to have an elected who goes unopposed like that. This
is the first time voters have much hass to decide.
If you think things are going great and you're happy
and you have a trusted integrity and how elections are
run in the President county, you've got your candidate. But
if you're like me and you believe things can be
better like they used to be, because these problems didn't
always exist, and we want to go back to the
(26:25):
way things were where you didn't have to wait forever
to vote in line, in line, if you wanted to
vote at the polls, and you had the option, convenient
option to vote at the polls. I'm the person who's
going to be your advocate, because they created a system
where basically they make it difficult to vote at polling places.
In fact, he's eliminated polling places. We only have a
handful of vote centers because once we joined what's called
(26:47):
the Voter Choice Act, there's a formula and they're based
on population. You have to have a minimum number of
vote centers. And that's great, but some people, especially in
rural areas, are driving very far if they want to
go and vote, and the response is let him vote
absente you. No, people don't always trust the system. People
have a right if they want to go and vote.
He even said, I think in some article after the
(27:08):
last election it was the biggest increase in voters switch
choosing not to vote absentee and voting at the pulse
because they don't trust the system. They want to see
their votes count. But what really disenfranchises voters and what
pisses me off, Trevor, I saw it with my own eyes.
There were voters who were voting at the polls. They
were seniors. They were waiting in mind, not twenty thirty
forty five minutes after an hour and a half and
(27:31):
they turned away and went home. They didn't get to vote,
and they weren't disenfranchise by any shenanigans. They were disenfranchised
by poor leadership and a bureaucratic, lazy ass clerk. And
that's what we have right now.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, let me ask you, he's not James Gus's not
here to defend himself. He quoted he said that you
don't know the law regarding your criticism of the time
it takes to count the ballots. In all of this,
let me ask you, how much do you think is
affected by the state and how much of this that
you're saying he's not doing correctly? Like if you were
the clerk or recorder, you'd have to go along with
(28:04):
this state. And it's a crazy state. Man. They want
old ladies to turn away. I think they want everybody
to get into the mailing.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, I think that's what I think based on his
decision making, that's what the current clerk wants. And maybe
he doesn't want that, but his actions seek louder than
his words. Now, of course he's going to make a
statement like that. That's what a politician would say. Nobody
knows what but mean with the current clerk, you're going
to get excuses instead of answers. Okay, you're not going
to get accountability, You're gonna get occuscation. That's what he does.
(28:33):
He wants people to think that it's okay that he
said eight percent. It's probably more people get three, four
or five ballots an election. He's active ballots out there,
and they said.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
How that happens, How that happens? How does that happen?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
He claims that, well, somebody could change their address, they
can change their political party. Okay, that's two. What about
the other two or three they're getting. I mean again,
like I said, you've got to read between the lines.
He's coming up with excuses and oh, no one has
more experience than he does. Of course, not yet. Are
you telling me that it's okay that people have to
wait in line for hours that they want to go
(29:07):
and vote, that we've eliminated pulling places from churches, that
was his decision, by the way, a terrible mistake, because
they were so conveniently located and accessible to people. Those
are decisions he made. No one, but he made those decisions,
which makes it harder for people to vote. I think
that disr diferent franchises voters more than anybody. And you know,
I think it's very, very unfortunate that he chooses finally
(29:30):
to speak up and do something when he finally has
an opponent. But what has he been doing for six years?
I mean, honestly, this is what Reresno County elections weren't
like this before. You can remember how things used to be.
I mean, the last third, we didn't have these questions.
She did a great job. And some people are better,
you know, workers, they're better middle managers when you get
(29:52):
the top job. This is an elected position. It means
you serve the people. You operate with a sense of urgency.
It's not about excuses and saying, oh well, it's law.
There may be some laws, like we've talked about with
voter ID. But here's my question. If the law is
so bad it's making things worse, what the hell has
he been doing to advocate the politicians and Sacramento to
change the laws. The answer is zero, He's done nothing,
(30:14):
and I think that is very telling.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Well, I think if I left a key in a
lock box, I'd resign, kind of like a Japanese soldier
falling on his sword. An honor thing.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
When you're the kind of guy that is the only
game in town that didn't have to earn this job
through an election. Who act thinks, well, you know, no
one's gonna question me. You won't even care at the
very least, no matter who wins this election next June,
and it's up to the voters, I'm gonna make sure
he gives a damn about the people he serves, because
the other day he made some kind of comment that
he's not a member of the boarder supervisors or a
(30:46):
politician like on the city council, where we serve people.
He has a job to do as a clerk. That
is a bunch of malarkey. He is an elected official.
He is supposed to serve the people of the county.
That is what elected means. I don't think he understands
that because he was never truly elected. Nobody ran against him.
And we're going to change that. At the very least,
we're going to change that and make sure he make
(31:08):
sure he respects the constituents he's supposed to serve. If
I find that statement really offensive, it worked hard to
get elected. You know what I had to go through.
I ran a couple of times. I was young. I
didn't make it. The people finally trusted me, and I've
never forgotten that. I've never wanted to let them down.
So to have someone that has the position through an
appointment and wants to say, well, you know, I don't
(31:28):
answer to the people unacceptable to me.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Would you agree with you know, people say mailing out ballots,
we're going to have issues Up in Sacramento, there was
like one hundred and some odd ballots out in a
transient field out there. We've had all these examples of ballots,
but now we actually have something. Actually it's a number,
and I would think for the people that say it's
not a good idea to do this in California, this
(31:51):
is the headline that the Fresno County Clerk and Recorders
stated up to eight percent of voters may receive multiple
ballots in Fresno. That is a stat that shows this
does not work. This isn't point eight or point eight,
this is eight percent. We're almost up to ten percent.
I mean, that's that's staggering to me.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Frankfully, I don't trust his numbers. He says eight, but
who knows. This is a guy that couldn't count an
irrigation board race.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
But even five even three percent, I would be like,
this is this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It's it's a failure point. It's terrible. We can't have that.
I'll just put it this way. What are you doing
to make it better? Not much. There are people still
getting duplicate ballots. I have one resident who said she
got three ballots in her name yesterday. She fell out
the form online. Let me know. She called the elections
(32:46):
office and she was told two things. Number One, she
told me that they told me throw the other two away.
Throw them away. Okay, I don't know why they would
tell her that, but they told her to do that
rather than surrender them. That was one thing they told
her to do. And the other thing is she said
they made me feel like I was bothered that And
that's the kind of stuff I've heard before about the
clerk's office in the elections office. And that's the management
style you serve the people when someone calls that as
(33:08):
your customer, you have to force the present and answer
questions accurately as much as you can. That's what we
do with the city at Fresno. That's what they do
with the county at Presno. But apparently the current.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I called about a dog I called about a doll
out here and got a snarky attitude from the city.
But any I'll go ahead, if.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You want to call me, then we'll make sure you
get taken care of.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Hey, you know what it's like. I'm sitting here thinking.
You know, it's like the guy that's hired to flip
the Super Bowl lights on and off. He has a
year to get ready for it. You know, they got
time to prepare for this. There should be I always
say when the president or a governor talks and they
get feedback on the mic that sound person at one job,
fire them. You got one job, just do it correctly.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Look, this is the first time ever the voters of
this county can decide if they're going to rehire or
fire the current county clerk. I think that when you
look at all the information and when you ask yourself,
do I feel better about elections now than I did
six years ago when you started, I think the answer
is no. Things have gotten worse. And I think that
alone should be enough to convince voters that we need
to change. And I'm I am really proud to finally
(34:14):
step up and hope to offer that change in people
of this accounting.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, and it's a nonpartisan position. But I know, I
know you're a blue dog dem And the reason I
know that you just used a Joe Biden word in
this interview. Do you remember what the word you use?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well, I forgot, like like Joe Biden did.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Malarkey, that was his big word.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
But but I really want to use is another word.
I can't use it, so I don't want to get
your fun at SCC.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Hey, thank you. Give the website out again here.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, please go to Mike for Fresno Mike Farfo dot com,
click on secure our elections. If you've received a ballot
from a deceased person, one of those zombie ballots, or
someone someone who does moved away and you reported it,
or even multi ballots in your name, let us know
so we can make sure it's held accountable and make
sure that eight percent number really is eight percent, not
(35:06):
ten twenty thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate your time. Thanks troubling you,
bet you, And you know what, eight percent of voters
in Freslo County may receive multiple ballots. That is that's malarkey.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Stop it, stop it now.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I agree, Joe, this is the Trevor Cherry Show on
the Valley. He's power talk.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Here. The guy last night, I don't know. They just
sing the Canadian national anthem. I couldn't quite. That's what
I was trying to hear, to see if because last
night the guy that sang it sings something that he
changed the words up to ocnnad or is and he
included on native land, like they stole the land for
people before through that in there as well. All Right,
it's gonna be a gate game five tonight the Dodgers
(35:47):
in the Blue Jays. Last night blue Jays won six
to two. It's like everybody was still stunned from the
night before. A texted my mom this morning, I go,
are you still tired from the eighteen inning game? I am?
And it was over at midnight here, it was over
at two am in Tennessee. And yeah, they stayed up
till for the whole thing. But yeah, I did feel that,
(36:08):
I mean, staying up to midnight. That's very rare these
days for myself. So I think a lot of people
felt that. You know, a lot of people in Toronto
were dragging staying up till three am then taking an hour,
you know, the real fans probably took him an hour
to get the brain to come down from all of that.
It was I have not watched baseball in a few years,
(36:32):
but my whole life, I've watched baseball my whole life.
I remember ninety two, ninety three with the Blue Jays,
with Carter hitting that home run to win it, and
I so didn't want a Canadian team to win. My
wife at the time, the mother of my five kids,
the long marriage I call it. She's half Canadian, half American.
(36:53):
Her dad was Canadian, her mom was American. He was
Canadian Air Force, so she was all Blue Jays. Yeah, Canada.
I was just like, they're not gonna win. No, no
Canadian team's gonna win the American Pastime World Series. So
I got kind of a double field here against the
Blue Jays. I do not want Canada to win our
World Series. That's how I look at it. And all
(37:13):
the back and forth and running the fake Ronald Reagan
commercials angry angry, rightfully so justifiable anger. Trade deals looking
good over in the Far East, mineral deals are being signed.
(37:34):
And this is good because I was talking about what
we need for our military. Correct we need this, We
need these rare earth minerals, for the high technology, for
the drones, for the radar, for the F thirty fives,
for everything like that. So this is good what's going on,
and I highlighted that yesterday. It's very important for our military.
But President Trump's going to work out something with China.
(37:54):
Looks like, but remember when Neville Chamberlain came back to
the UK with the peace illness and from Hitler. Now
President Trump's definitely not Chamberlain. But President Trump's dealing with
a already an industrial base that's been decimated.
