Bianco Versus Bonta

00:00:00
Speaker 1: And very happy Monday to you. At twelve oh six in the West, it's the Giant Philip Show, mister Randy Weggs in Culver City.

00:00:07
Speaker 2: John, fresh off of his interview with Real ninety two three Tom Steyer.

00:00:13
Speaker 3: We're a Big Ass Crisis, went.

00:00:15
Speaker 2: On an actual hard hitting interview. He sat down for thirty minutes with Ashley Savalla and one of the things he was asked by Ashley Zavalla is how he would grade the performance of current Governor Gavin Newsom. Spoiler alert, He won't answer the question.

00:00:32
Speaker 4: What grade would you give Governor Gavin Newsom for the last two terms?

00:00:37
Speaker 1: I don't know A through f I don't know. I think that people have come to really appreciate how Gavin has stood up here.

00:00:44
Speaker 4: You won't give us a grade.

00:00:46
Speaker 5: You won't grade him.

00:00:47
Speaker 1: No, I haven't followed it closely enough to give him a grade.

00:00:50
Speaker 2: Okay, you haven't followed Gavin closely enough to give him a grade, and you're running to replace him.

00:00:58
Speaker 1: Okay. This is That's what doesn't make sense about Tom Steyer. He's running as the no nonsense billionaire, the guy who doesn't need money from anyone so he can shoot straight with you and tell you the way it is. And he is more evasive in answering questions than the professional politicians. We had Antonio Viri Goosa on the show on Friday. He answered every single one of the questions I asked him. Spencer Pratt, first time candidate. We had him on the show. I peppered did with questions for an hour. He answered every question I asked him.

00:01:37
Speaker 2: If I had the free time, I would put together a compilation of the stier Ism, because the stier Ism, it doesn't matter what the question is, he says, And before he starts saying his non answer, he says, well what I have said is and what I would say is, and I say this and everything he says. Instead of answering a question, he starts prefacing it with this is what I have said about this.

00:02:01
Speaker 1: It's so weird to me why a billionaire would want this job in the first place. You have all the money you could ever want, and you choose to do this with your time. The only way I would do that is if I felt that there were challenges facing the state that the current crop candidates could not deal with, and I was the only one who possessed the ability to fix it so we can move on. But if that's your motivation, you do shoot straight with people. You do have to answer questions and deliver tough love at times, but he seems totally unwilling to do that. And a different point in the interview, and I'll grab the clip for later, Ashley Zavala asked Tom Steyer, since you're a billionaire, how can you relate to the troubles of the average Californian, to which his response is, I'm really cheap. What a world.

00:03:08
Speaker 3: We're a big ass crisis.

00:03:11
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is telephone number? What eight hundred two two two of five two two two Riverside County Sheriff and candidate for governor here in the state of California, Chad Bianco is now going at it with the Attorney General of the State of California, Bob Bonta.

00:03:30
Speaker 3: Bob Bonta, this is a weird one.

00:03:34
Speaker 2: Chad Bianco says that there was some shenanigans with the Prop fifty election in twenty twenty five, the election that won in every county by a landslide.

00:03:46
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't understand, is he saying that there was more tampering than usual, or is he saying there's tampering and I can point out just exactly where it was.

00:03:58
Speaker 2: In my honest opinion, this is somebody who wants attention.

00:04:03
Speaker 1: Well, that's usually what politicians are looking for.

00:04:06
Speaker 2: For more on the battle between Bianco and Bobby Bob Bonta, here is CBSLA.

00:04:13
Speaker 1: This is CBSLA at four.

00:04:16
Speaker 6: Right now at four thirty claims of fraud.

00:04:18
Speaker 2: It wasn't at four.

00:04:22
Speaker 6: Right now at four thirty claims of fraud during the twenty twenty five election. The discrepancy now leading to an investigation.

00:04:29
Speaker 7: Riverside County sheriff and candidate for governor, Chad Bionco is accusing State Attorney General Rob Bonta.

00:04:35
Speaker 2: That's not his name.

00:04:38
Speaker 3: Can we correct that Bob Bonta.

00:04:42
Speaker 7: Rob Bonta of interfering in an investigation into the twenty twenty five special election.

00:04:48
Speaker 6: As CBSLA Zach Boetto reports, Bianco says there are discrepancies in the ballot count that Bonta says the investigation undermines public confidence in state elections.

00:04:58
Speaker 2: What confidence.

00:05:01
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone outside of the people in Sacramento who have confidence in the elections here, we.

00:05:07
Speaker 2: Know that they're going to take about a month to process.

00:05:11
Speaker 1: Well, if there's a Supreme Court ruling that says that you cannot accept ballots after election day, that's going to change.

00:05:20
Speaker 8: A ballot count clash at the center of an investigation the Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco claims state their Riverside Sheriff. Their Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco claims State Attorney General Rob Bonta is interfering in this investigation.

00:05:35
Speaker 9: Is simple physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes reported.

00:05:41
Speaker 2: But whatever this discrepancy is would not have changed the result, not only statewide, but not including in Riverside County. So what is this?

00:05:51
Speaker 1: Here's what I think happens when you're talking about election fraud. Well, there's a bunch of different kinds of election fraud. I guess that can take place. But for example, at my old house, I used to get the ballot for the guy that lived there before me, and I used to get the mail because I'm a registered Republican and whoever it was that was there before me was a registered Democrat, So I would get the mail for the Democrats, and I would get the ballot for the guy. Now, I don't believe that the guy died. I think that the guy moved and he moved either some other part of California or he moved to some other state, And I assume since he was a registered voter here, that he became a registered voter. Let's say he moved to Los Angeles County and became a registered voter in Los Angeles County. What I think probably happened is that LA County didn't communicate with Riverside County and let them know that this guy now gets his ballot in Los Angeles County, so Riverside County kept sending his ballot to my house. If I were unethical and I wanted my vote to count for twice as much as it does, I could have filled out his ballot and turned it in. Because there are some instances where there are more votes than registered voters in certain places and people go, well, how does that happen? Well, my guess is it's a combination of people moving to the area and filling out provisional ballots. Let's say the population is going up and not down, or situations like what happened to me. Only people are unethical and they fill it out and turn it in. Those votes should not count. One person, one ballot, one vote, that's it. But if you move around a lot, you could have one individual who's receiving any number of ballots. Let's say you move from county to county in a variety of counties in California, one person may be drawing five ballots. That's possible.

00:08:02
Speaker 8: In question to twenty twenty five special election for Prop fifty regarding redistricting lines, a group of citizens, according to the sheriff, discovered the Registrar of Voters hand counted just over six hundred eleven thousand ballots, but forty five thousand more votes were actually reported and certified to this Secretary of State, prompting the sheriff to start his own investigation. Ag Bonta in a statement saying, the investigation quote sets a dangerous precedent and will only so distrust in our elections.

00:08:32
Speaker 9: That is absolutely ridiculous.

00:08:34
Speaker 1: Shanghy, can we have an assist that.

00:08:39
Speaker 9: Is absolutely ridiculous?

00:08:41
Speaker 2: I miss you?

00:08:43
Speaker 1: What does so.

00:08:43
Speaker 9: Mistrust in our system? Is failing to conduct an investigation?

00:08:47
Speaker 2: Ag Bonta's team sent to give it what would be the outcome of this investigation. Because that thing wanted a landslide.

00:08:54
Speaker 1: You'd be able to throw out certain ballots, you wouldn't be able to alter the result. And we should figure out who's sending in illegal ballots and do something about it. Now. One of the things that I think that we should do immediately is you shouldn't get an absentee ballot in the mail every single time. That results in tons of ballots floating all over the place. When I lived in an apartment building in Los Angeles County, there used to be a stack of ballots from people who don't live there anymore on top of the mail box, and then one day they would just disappear, and I have no clue where they went. In the old days, you used to have to request an absentee ballot for every single election. Well, if you moved, you're not going to request an absentee ballot because you're not going to be there to fill out the form. I don't understand why we can't do that again.

00:09:49
Speaker 8: Ag Bonta's team sent us these three letters showing Bonto's attempts to reach out to Bianco. The letter from February twenty sixth shows the AG requesting copies of the court documents and asking the sheriff to pause the investigation to better understand the basis for the search. But the sheriff calling this request.

00:10:06
Speaker 2: To me, I do like that what Bobby likes to do here, Mister Bonta is instead of going after the rampant fraud that's being uncovered by local journalists and even citizen journalists, he wants to squash an investigation into a different kind of fraud that's happening from California law enforcement.

00:10:27
Speaker 1: Well, just think about who we're dealing with here. We're dealing with Bob Bonta, who is a product of the Dongs. This guy is dirty. He has been dirty since he began his political career, and now we gave him a badge and we put him in charge of the California Department of Justice. He's not looking out for justice, he's not looking out for the law. He's looking out for himself.

00:10:53
Speaker 2: Well, and you know what this reminds me of when you talk about a sheriff and you talk about Bonta quashing an investigtation. Remember when Louis Anderson's house got raided the former La County supervisor. Oh yeah, and there was all of this alleged fraud that happened between Sheila Kule and her buddy Patty Giggins in a nonprofit that was getting a massive contract from La Metro to set up a six harassment hot line. Well, that investigation got taken over by Banta and then just disappeared.

00:11:28
Speaker 1: Well, listen to this. This is something that's very common. In my assembly district. We have an Assemblyman by the name of Greg Wallace who happens to be a Republican. This is one of the few purple districts that exists in California. A Democrat could win it, a Republican could win it. And there was a Palm Spring City councilwoman, a Democrat by the name of Christy Holstage, who was running against him, and she did not live in her district. She was a member of the council. They broke the council up by districts, and she was not living in her district. She was not legally allowed to be a member of that city council. How do we know this because the house that she claimed was her residence was on one of the Airbnb sorts of websites. She was renting it out as a short term rental, and she had a much bigger house and a different part of town that she was actually living in. You can't do that. If you represent a district, you have to live there, and if the house that you claim to live in is a short term rental, you don't live there. And so in Riverside County, it wasn't Bianco that was pursuing it. It was the district attorney, Mike Estron, and he had her dead to rights and Bob Bonta comes in and goes, this is interesting information. The California Department of Justice will be taking over this investigation. And then it just went away. He decided not to pursue it. Bob Bonta, that's what he does. He makes it seem like they're going to investigate it further and he's going to make sure that justice takes place, and then he just kills it because his objective is political. It's not as a law enforcement officer.

00:13:16
Speaker 8: To better understand the basis for the search. But the sheriff calling this request to pause interference.

00:13:22
Speaker 9: The outrage that an investigation was happening was extremely concerning.

00:13:28
Speaker 10: To me.

00:13:28
Speaker 8: In a statement, A. G. Bonta says, quote Sheriff Bianco's investigation is unprecedented in both scope and scale and appears not to be based on facts or evidence, but on unfounded allegations that have already been refuted by the Riverside Registrar of Voters after getting the ballots through a warrant. Thursday, a judge ruling Bianco's department must pause the recounts it's already started and restart with a special master watching over. While the recount won't count toward the election results for Prov fifty, we've.

00:13:57
Speaker 2: Ever recounting an election that was won in a land slide.

00:14:01
Speaker 8: No, that's pointless, which passed in Riverside County with fifty six point three percent of the vote. The Riverside County Register our Voters saying it will continue to comply with all lawful courts.

00:14:12
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's what's going on with this battle between Bonta and Bianco. And at least I think two things can be true at the same time. One Bonta likes to quash any kind of investigation that can make his friends look bad, and two Bianco's looking for some earned media.

00:14:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think both things probably are true. But this is part and parcel how Bob Bonta runs that office, and it just goes to show you how you need someone honest and ethical in that office because there is voter fraud that goes on in the state. Look at what we talked about last week where the homeless people were being paid to impersonate registered voters and sign petitions to get initiatives on the ballot. That happened on tape that is irrefutable. Where was That's Bob Bonta. He's asking for all of the information so that way they can make it go away instead of having someone in that office doing the job. What he's doing is he's using that office for political purposes to try to I guess, launch him into the governor's mansion or a US Senate seat or something bigger than where he's at right now. And also, because it's Bob Bonta, he needs to take care of his benefactors.

00:15:31
Speaker 3: Bob Bonta always.

00:15:33
Speaker 1: Part of the deal with him.

Speaker 1: Let's go to Scott and Holly would Scott, Hello.

00:17:04
Speaker 11: Hi, John, Hi Randy. Regarding the I hate to add salt to the ballot broad wound, but it's worse than people think, because anybody living in some other state can use a safehouse here in Los Angeles to register, and the person that lives in that safe house can sign the ballot for him. On top of that, there is no national database to show that a person voted in multiple jurisdictions. So if you vote in Tennessee and you vote in California, there's no national database to show that. Worse, the signature verification machine in Los Angeles County is set to the most liberal setting. Registrars throughout the counties of California, there there's no uniformity on One county might have a stricter setting, then Los Angeles and Los Angeles has the least amount of UH of scrutiny on these on the pat.

00:18:13
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. When I was in graduate school, there were journal articles that we would read about confidence in the voting system. At that time, only one state voted all by mail. It was organ and the voters in Oregon had the least confidence in clean elections in all fifty states. And now we've exported it bad news.

00:18:53
Speaker 2: Susan writes in at Johnny don't like Show at gmail dot com. Hey John and Randy, I think most people under isomate how dirty and sleazy Bob Bonta is.

00:19:03
Speaker 3: Bobta.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: You know, he has that high voice, that dopey way of expressing himself, in that jelled hair that imitates Gavin. So I think most people see him as a harmless fool but doing the best he can, the poor stupid guy. So thanks a million to you two for constantly pointing out that here is a dirty, sleazy, disgusting crook.

00:19:25
Speaker 1: I couldn't I couldn't agree with her more. We also have an email from listener Steve ian Cyprus, who said, John, would it be possible for you to include in your opening segment how many days are left until the state is free from Gavin Newsom?

00:19:42
Speaker 2: That would get so old so quick. I made the mistake many many years ago when I was doing sports on McIntyre in the morning of doing a countdown clock to the twenty twenty eight Olympics, and I wrote myself into doing that thing for over a year before I gave up.

00:19:58
Speaker 1: Well, the part of that would be that I would have to do math, and Randy, if there's anything that you've learned from working with me for as long as we've been working together, you know that anytime you ask me to do anything with technology or math, it's going off the rails.

00:20:19
Speaker 2: Including connecting to this radio station. It's really a daily struggle, is it not. You're getting better, but still I'd be scared if I wasn't here to help you.

00:20:35
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is jellphone number one eight hundred two two two five two two two Well in the race for California governor, we know that America's sweetheart, Katie Porter went down to the Teawana River to personally assess the ecological damage.

00:20:55
Speaker 12: You can smell it right here.

00:20:59
Speaker 1: And of course we learned so much from that trip that she took down to that river. We did.

00:21:05
Speaker 2: But what we have also learned is that this has now become a rite of passage for pretty much everyone running for governor. At some point, you've got to go down to San Diego and you got to smell that Tijuana River Valley.

00:21:19
Speaker 1: It's like eating a fried steak over at the Iowa State Fair when you're running for president.

00:21:23
Speaker 2: Now, Katie Porter is the only one that turned it into a campaign ad and did a whole bunch of pay and did a whole bunch of earned media about it, wearing the gas mask. About a whole bunch of candidates have gone down there. Matt Mayhan has gone down there over the weekend, Betty Ye went down there, and Baccaria went down there. Uh oh, I hope they have some smelling salts for more. Here's Fox five in San Diego.

00:21:50
Speaker 4: Less than three months until the primary election, two Democratic candidates eyeing the governor's seat made their way to San Diego.

00:21:58
Speaker 1: If I can inspire that confidence.

00:22:00
Speaker 4: Former California Attorney General and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Javier Bessera, had a community conversation in Barrio Logan with Chew's children. He explains he hopes to invest in children when it comes to education, among other things.

00:22:14
Speaker 2: Boy, I never heard that one before.

00:22:16
Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute, If he was the Secretary of Health and Human Services and that is a public health disaster, why didn't he do anything about it when he was in office?

00:22:28
Speaker 2: Good question. Well, I don't know if that would be under the purview of AJJS or that would be the purview of the EPA. I don't know. But the federal government under Republican and Democrat administrations have ignored this, and the state of California has ignored this.

00:22:45
Speaker 1: Now here's the way I see it. If you are dumping the sewage directly into the river, that's an EPA issue because you're polluting the river. But if people are getting sick because of the pollution, that's a Department of Health and Human Services issue because you have to deal with the people who now have the illness.

00:23:09
Speaker 2: So do you think in LA we should send a special envoy down to San Diego? Our director of Public Health.

00:23:16
Speaker 1: Oh, I would love to send that woman down to that river with nothing but a snorkel.

00:23:22
Speaker 2: And you know, Babs, they need you down at the Tijuana River Valley.

00:23:27
Speaker 1: Maybe I'd give her a jet ski. We spend so.

00:23:31
Speaker 10: Much money trying to remediate Frederick Douglas one hundred and sixty years ago.

00:23:35
Speaker 1: Said it just as well. It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. We spend millions.

00:23:42
Speaker 2: Regie, I wonder why his campaign's not catching fire.

00:23:46
Speaker 1: Well, he forgot to scrub it.

00:23:48
Speaker 10: We spend millions repairing broken men and women rather than building them to be strong for the beginning.

00:23:54
Speaker 4: He also touched on healthcare, standing up to the Trump administration when needed, and that you want a sewage crisis.

00:24:01
Speaker 2: So when I was a place, do you don't need to have the sound of the water running when I know what's in that water?

00:24:06
Speaker 1: Oh my, Katie, you can smell right. It comes in two different styles chunky and extra chunky.

00:24:14
Speaker 2: Okay, just stop right there.

00:24:17
Speaker 10: So when I was attorney general, we sued the federal government for not taking enough action to try to deal with the crisis on the Juhana River.

00:24:24
Speaker 2: And if the state's not doing anything about the Tijuana River. What's going on right now is the supervisors are asking the state to declare a state of emergency on the Tijuana River and Gavin's not doing it.

00:24:36
Speaker 1: Gavin, what the hell do you wanna river Valley?

00:24:40
Speaker 10: And we have to push that hard because that solution has to come by nationally.

00:24:45
Speaker 4: The Tijuana River Valley is where candidate and former state Controller Betty Ye spent her day with County Supervisor Poloma Geary.

00:24:52
Speaker 2: She's the one that's inviting everyone to go down and smell it.

00:24:57
Speaker 1: They probably should, but could you a imagine going down there and smelling it.

00:25:03
Speaker 2: I can look, if you're running for governor, that's a major disaster zone that is being ignored by the current administration. It is a huge issue that does not get any attention.

00:25:16
Speaker 1: Well how about this, how about going down to Mexico and saying, knock it off, put your waste where it belongs and not in a river that's going to flow into our country.

00:25:26
Speaker 4: Spend her day with County Supervisor Paloma Geary, hearing how it impacts families. He agrees that a bi national solution is needed.

00:25:35
Speaker 1: I am familiar with the are you binational once in college. I guess is that what she said?

00:25:43
Speaker 4: He agrees that a bi national solution is needed.

00:25:46
Speaker 5: I am familiar with the cross border pollution issues.

00:25:50
Speaker 2: Okay, poor Betty. You can hear that she is visibly ill speaking while at the river.

00:26:00
Speaker 1: It sounds like she's got some device plugging her nose.

00:26:04
Speaker 5: I am familiar with the cross border pollution issues.

00:26:08
Speaker 2: Like, if you didn't see this, you would imagine that she's got a clothes pin on those nostrils.

00:26:19
Speaker 5: I am familiar with the cross border pollution issues for my time as controller when I chair the State Lands Commission and had hoped that there would have been some progress made.

00:26:29
Speaker 2: No, and again this is another person out. She didn't have any power because she's just the controller. But we have all these people that are in California government now that aren't doing a damn thing about this.

00:26:40
Speaker 1: Nope, it's made.

00:26:42
Speaker 2: I mean, it's very nice to go down there and say, hey, once I become governor, I will declare a state of emergency. But it's a real emergency what's going on there right now, and that wouldn't happen for another seven or eight months. So what are you doing to encourage the current governor to go down there and smell it.

00:27:02
Speaker 1: How long has this river been polluted? A very long time. I can't imagine anything with the name Tijuana in the name being clean. Have you ever been there before? Yes?

00:27:16
Speaker 2: I have, because I was eighteen and you could drink there illegally, so I went for three hours.

00:27:22
Speaker 1: Here is how I would describe Tijuana. If your email spam box was an actual physical place, it would be Tijuana. Every scam that you've ever been emailed is in the town square. Everything illegal, every kind of contraband, everything that you want to avoid or you should avoid, is all in one place.

00:27:55
Speaker 5: It's made with respect to just how we can really allevia.

00:28:00
Speaker 2: You could tell she is getting just audibly ill from having to even open her mouth and talk about this.

00:28:07
Speaker 1: Oh, she is going to vomit directly into the toilet the minute she gets back to the Hampton end.

00:28:13
Speaker 5: It's made with respect to just how we can alleviate some of what's been happening. But I'm here today because it's become much more.

00:28:22
Speaker 2: Dire, and nobody is calling on the current governor to do anything about this.

00:28:28
Speaker 1: No, it's like they can't criticize him. Did you see I think we did it last week. In fact, Eric Swalwell was asked what do you disagree with Gavin newsoim on and he couldn't name one thing.

00:28:39
Speaker 2: Oh, it's from a couple of weeks ago. It was his sit down with Julie Watts and he was the only person that she sat down with that had zero things to say criticizing the current governor. He thinks that Gavin Newsom is like Mary Poppins and just perfect in every way.

00:28:58
Speaker 4: He says the decades long issue shouldn't be ignored, adding it's time to call a public health emergency.

00:29:03
Speaker 5: We have lots of billionaires who live here. But if this were, you know, kind of a rich white enclave, I think attention would have been painted this much.

00:29:10
Speaker 1: Oh, don't even make this racial, because Mexico was at fault for that river being polluted. Correct, yes, okay, so don't blame it on the green goll lady, you.

00:29:26
Speaker 5: Know, kind of a rich white enclave. I think attention would have been painted this much a long time ago.

00:29:31
Speaker 2: She's also I think her point is that if this was the Monacito River, it would have been cleaned up already.

00:29:37
Speaker 1: Well, if Mexico is polluting the river, don't blame the whites. They had nothing to do with this a long time ago.

00:29:47
Speaker 4: She's also running on issues such as healthcare, education, and climate change. But Sarah and y are two of eight Democrats running for the seat. Two Republicans also have their names in the hat. The primary election is scheduled for June second in San Diego. I'm sere in CNUS.

00:30:03
Speaker 2: There you go, Betty Yee, the latest candidate to smell it.

00:30:07
Speaker 12: You can smell it right here.

00:30:10
Speaker 1: What a completely asinine response that she had. Can you imagine doing that with any other group? How ridiculous that would look. So, you know, former Controller Gee, this is very polluted down here at the Tiawana River. There are lots of health complications, environmental disaster, ecological damage. What say you? Well the Jews strike again? What eight hundred two two two five two two two as a telephone number? What eight hundred two two two five two two two. If you'd like to email the show, you can do so at Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com. That's Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com and Randy Ear monitoring the mail, Ken writes in it, Johnny don't like show at gmail dot com on the subject to the Tijuana River. Hey, John and Randy John, you just said that you'd like to send Barbara Ferrer to the river with just a snorkele. Give that plan a second thought. She'd really pollute that thing even worse.

00:31:18
Speaker 7: The evidence is like crystal clear on that.

00:31:20
Speaker 1: Well, just imagine if she went for a swim in that river. What do you think she'd look like with a third eye.

00:31:27
Speaker 2: I have a hard time understanding, Babs. They need you down at the Tijuana River. It's a public health emergency.

00:31:37
Speaker 1: You think she'd wear a mask.

00:31:39
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, Well, the only way that you're going to really be able to understand just how toxic it is is you got to put the face in there.

00:31:51
Speaker 1: But in theory, you need to bring the face out of there. Yes, no, thank you, and then you'd have to immediately go to the dermatologist. Katie.

00:32:04
Speaker 2: Maybe you could take her down there, you can smart her.

00:32:09
Speaker 1: Gloria Romero coming up at the top of the hour as part of the Fixed California Hour. She's running for lieutenant governor. Let's go to Tom and Rancho Cucamonga. Tom, welcome, how you doing good?

00:32:22
Speaker 12: Good I'm sure, uh so, I just you know, a couple of years ago, I was complaining about the salt and sea and the terrible stuff that's gone on there, and I bought into the story about pollution caused by farm fertilizer runoff, and the guy got in my face that that's not the problem. It's the new river running out of Mexicali into the salt and sea. I did a little research, and that's the fact.

00:32:51
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've ever been out in the Coachella Valley when the winds are blowing a certain way, but if the Salton Sea is in bad shape and the wind is blowing, you were not leaving your house all day.

00:33:08
Speaker 12: And because Mexico apparently is killing us with bad rivers.

00:33:13
Speaker 1: Well it smells like your knee deep and fertilizer when the wind is blowing. Could you imagine what it must be like to be there or live there near that mess.

00:33:30
Speaker 12: I've been there often over the years. It's pretty bad. So you could you combine the sewage out of Mexico ally with the farm fertilizer runoff? Sonny Bono had his hands full.

00:33:46
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't understand. They need us for any number of things. They need us for help fighting the drug cartels, they need us for help with trade, they need us for help with any number of things national security. Okay, Well, we spend a lot of money and a lot of time helping you out. Could you stop dumping your raw sewage directly into the river? Is that too much of a man?

00:34:18
Speaker 12: It should not be, but that's what we've got. Man needs to be dealt with.

00:34:24
Speaker 1: Or how about this, if for whatever reason, you need to dump it directly into a river, how about doing it in the southern part of the country, so some other country has to deal with it, not us.

00:34:38
Speaker 12: We need to damn the rivers up. Let them back up into Tijuana and MEXICALI.

00:34:44
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, sir. We appreciate it. Let's go too. Patricia in Livermore, Patricia, Hello.

00:34:52
Speaker 13: Hello, Well hi there, Hi, you can hear me?

00:34:59
Speaker 1: Could you turn radio off in the background?

00:35:02
Speaker 13: Well to say, okay, okay, two things. Number one, I am so lucky to live in the area the county that's represented it by Eric Solwell, you're lucky. I'd be desicious about that.

00:35:24
Speaker 1: Okay, that would make sense.

00:35:26
Speaker 13: He should be I am not all we all person, But what I'm calling about is the voting.

00:35:35
Speaker 12: Well.

00:35:35
Speaker 13: I was a little girl and my parents grandparents had a cattle rich and they would go back to Nebraska or Kansas to go on a cattle buying trip and it would be a voting time. My grandmother would take my grandfather's ID and her ID and we would go to the post office to bid. At the bad Post Office in Francis County, go you would present the IDs, they would market on a list, they would write down all the information and everything else. They give her two ballots. Then to get it back again, they had to have them notarized before they would accept them. And we drive back to the post office where where they were filled out, went into a separate room, great big metal boxes or wherever they were. They looked at it, they thought they were notorized, and they put them in. Nebody was mailed, thatbody was cared about or anything. But if you wanted to vote, you went down to the post office. You picked up that ballot, you showed your ID, You showed back with a notorization that they that you signed him at your house, and you took them in. They took that notary and they put your ballots to the box and that was it.

00:36:52
Speaker 1: Well, think about what you have to do to run a hotel room. The first thing that you do. The first thing is you have to show them a picture ID. And if you do not have a picture ID, they will not give you the keys to that room. It's as simple as that.

00:37:12
Speaker 13: Well, I know that because a group of ladies that I blow to have conventions up down to Statey, California, and back in two thousand and nine, tip twenty fifteen, I traveled up down to Statey, California. Oh yeah, had to have a ID. We had to give up the information before we even got there, hardly. And then you walk in and the first thing they ask you for is can I see your photo ID.

00:37:38
Speaker 1: You cannot go to your local grocery store and buy a bottle of alcohol and not have to provide your ID. And now they type it into the machine. So even if you are obviously not even close to being under the age of twenty one, they still want you to present it so they can type it in. And it's not just alcohol, they require you to show ID to buy white claw too,
