Summary
The John Kobylt Show Hour 2 (04/23) - CA State Assemblyman Carl DeMaio fills in for John. Carl breaks down how taxpayer dollars are being funneled into luxury-priced housing projects with no real results — including $600,000 per unit price tags. He explains why most homeless in California are chronically homeless, how laws have incentivized the crisis, and why developers and politicians are cashing in. Plus, Carl shares how requiring voter ID could restore integrity to our elections, and columnist Susan Shelley joins to expose more failures in California’s homelessness response.

| 0:00.0 | KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio Lab. |
| 0:06.3 | This is Carl DeMio filling in for John Cobalt. |
| 0:09.3 | We are talking about all of the problems that plague us in California, in Southern California, in particular. |
| 0:19.4 | And why? Why are things so bad? But also, what can we do about it? |
| 0:24.0 | So I always say, I don't want to just increase your blood pressure by giving you the bad news. |
| 0:29.1 | I want to give you the truth. You deserve the truth. Because it's frustrating seeing things get really |
| 0:33.7 | bad, and you're being told, well, if you raise your taxes and you regulate this and |
| 0:38.8 | give us your freedom on that, we'll solve your problems because my name is slick politician, |
| 0:44.5 | also known as Gavin Newsom. |
| 0:47.5 | Yeah, so the slick politicians are saying, oh, they've got it in the bag. |
| 0:51.7 | Don't worry about it. |
| 0:52.4 | And always, always involves more regulation, higher taxes, and less freedom. |
| 0:58.7 | Funny that every single solution, everything can be solved with higher taxes. |
| 1:04.4 | Just give us more of your money and everything will be perfect. |
| 1:09.6 | Well, that's not been working out. |
| 1:12.0 | And so we expose why things are so bad, but then we tell you what you can do about it. |
| 1:17.5 | Again, the first and most important thing we can do is we have to fix our broken political system, |
| 1:22.8 | and that requires California voter ID. |
| 1:26.5 | We need a million signatures. Go on the website. Voter ID |
| 1:30.3 | petition.org. Voter ID petition.org and sign up. If you don't do it, and if you don't |
| 1:37.2 | share that website, because I need you not just to sign up, I need you to share it with all your |
