Fresno District 2 City Councilmember Mike Karbassi

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It really does seem. I'm an audio horder here, and
when I saw that video there five years ago, you
had a lot more weight on you. Man, how did
you congratulations on looking like a real healthy dude. Man,
tell us the secret here, please.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, I had a little scare put on a lot
of weight, and my doctor said, I'm going to give
you lipitur, which is the cholesterol medication. I thought, why
I was at the time, I was like thirty seven,
and so I started with intermittent fasting, and of course
I was running for reelections. I was walking door to
door a lot, so reducing calories, doing it safely, and
I stopped eating out. No more Taco Bell, you know,

(00:39):
no more McDonald's, and I grew I was a grown
up with my diet.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Well who can afford that these days?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Well, that's these days? Correct. Yeah, So you know, it
took a couple of years, but I was able to
work it off and I'm keeping it off.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, congratulations, it was it a Did you kick out
a lot of carbs? I did?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah? I still will, you know, have bread. I'm more
likely have like a low carb portillo, or I'll have
a wheat bread or something. I mean Obviously, I'm very
depressed missing Carbs, but I feel a lot better. I
don't debt medication, which is great. That's the biggest thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well, we know there's a lot of people from Tennessee, Florida,
Texas that are moving to California who do not know
your whole story, your whole background as well. For those
that do not know, and again, let me state he's
running for the Frosne County Clerk Registrar of Voters, currently
a city councilan. You're you're the president of the city
council during this session going on right now. But back

(01:33):
back to train up. Tell us who Mike Carbut sure
is I was.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Born and raised in northwest Fresno. You know, my father
started a business almost what forty six years ago. I
grew up in that business. Forty I'll be forty one
in a couple of weeks and sorry, forty two in
a couple of weeks of just age myself. And you know,
last six years on the council. You know, I promised

(01:59):
when I ran, and I made one promise, I would
never ever vote for a budget that didn't put more
cops in our street. And I'm glad to say, we
just passed the budget. We added four new positions to
the police department, and I've been able to keep that
promise except for one year. Council Member Gary Bretdfeld and
I'm a good friend, we didn't vote for the budget
because it didn't actually increase money for public safety. And

(02:20):
I'll tell you what after we made that move, every
single budget after that had money for cops.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Let me ask you, this described everyby District two. Give
us the GPS of the city.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yep, so you know everyone knows Shaw Avenue. If you're
at Sewan, you know Shaw, like Biggarden Village, that area.
You go north to the river, that's District two. You're
at Blackstone, you go west past ninety nine, so Big
Garden Loop, the El Paco Shopping Center, Bullard High School,
those are all in District two.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Let me ask you, Council President Mike Carbossi. You mentioned
six years in politics, not in before then, right, No, No,
I ran.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
When I was very and didn't win the first couple
of times.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
But you know your high president, it doesn't okay, So
I know you've been six years in now, but yeah,
you talked about the city budget. How you and former
counsel and Brederfell wouldn't vote for one that didn't have
the police. But were you surprised when you got involved
with politics down there? How much of you know, it's
our money and your money, but how many things that
are funded that like make you scratch your head?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh yeah, I mean when it comes to public safety.
So there's this thing called Advanced Piece and basically, in
my opinion, it's very popular with progressive.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Look what I had written and fifty k advance piece
pay money to those Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, it's very difficult because they can't pass it as
a standalone, but they'll have to bake it into a budget,
a two point three billion dollar budget.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
They did it in DC all the time.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, and they did it here again. And whenever it's
on its own, I always vote against it.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Explain Advanced Piece for those do not know.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Look, it's basically taking people that are frequent flyers, meaning
they'll commit crimes with guns, and having people that were
former gang members approach them and try and convince them
not to commit crimes. The problem with that concept is
there have been problems in the program where information has
been shared with rival gangs because they get proprietary information

(04:17):
and intelligence from law enforcement. I've been assured those things
have been short up. But the thing is, I don't
trust the program. I don't trust the system, and I
don't believe that we should ever pay anybody not to
commit a crime. We should put them in jail if
they commit a crime. That maybe makes me harsh, but
when you wonder why we have so much crap happening
in California while your male is getting stolen, your copper
wires getting stolen, it's because there's no consequences. It's really simple.

(04:40):
It's what you and I were raised on. You know,
you commit a crime, you do the time. But it's California,
we don't have that anymore.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
So true, when I was thinking about that, I thought, well,
why don't we go ahead and apply that. I'm sure
the Sheriff's department can let us know how many wife
beaters are out there, So let's pay those guys not
to hit their wives rights. If it cures crime, let's
get continuous.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
See how it sounds crazy, Yeah it does.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
And I remember ten years ago when I first came
back here as doing my first year up in Modesto
for iHeart and I think it was. I don't know
if it was Oaklanner or it was an East Bay
city that they were doing this. And I interviewed the
guy Advance Peace then and he said, no, this is
all private money that people are putting in to see
if how it will affect crime in our city. And

(05:28):
I said, you just wait, it won't be private money.
And now here we are we're paying for it.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I don't think the private sector would trust this thing.
At least no real businesses woul trust this. Here's the problem.
The reason why violent crime has gone down in Fresno
is because we have a record number of officers out
there on the streets. That's why. Because we are going
after these violent criminals and they know they can't get
away with it. That's why shootings are down. It's not
because we're paying people not to commit crimes.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars could have gone
to I think I saw some elderly cuts in there
as well, So I'm sure that's a frustrating process and
the increase of the budget as well. It was like
when you go back and look, you know, the year
before COVID, It's like we all elevated everything.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Two billion dollars. Now it's a big model stone. We're
two point three billion. Now, Now what happened? People have
to understand Fresno's the fifth largest city in California. We're
thirty fourth in the state, and then that's are in
the nation.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
And now is that our city limit or metro just
the city city h yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
And you know the thing is, we have big city problems,
big city challenges. And we know we have a large budget.
But the biggest problem we have and I know people
aren't as maybe they don't think about this, but we
need to find a way to raise grow our tax
space without raising taxes. This is not city clerk stuff.
This is more city council stuff. But people are already
burdened with high pgen rates. They're burdened with high cost

(06:48):
for housing.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
And the kind of the highest in the nation right
here in the valley with our heat and well the
rates in California, because everybody else pays the rates in California.
But it's a lot cooler, I'll tell you what. That's
that's correct.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
And I up at the only nuclear power plant, the
Outlook Canyon a couple of months ago amazing facility, very safe.
I got a tour, very very safe. The problem is
we have a moratorium. This is understanding. This is a
source of energy that does not produce emissions. It is
clean energy.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, it's only three mile island. That's all in their
head that that happened, and it got stuck in her
boy's headyl happened and we don't even realize we're way
ahead of the Russians. We didn't have a Chernobyl here,
not even close by the three mile island by far,
not close. And there's room for two more reactors there.
Here's the thing. Think about the people that can't afford
to pay their bill. It is cheap energy.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's expensive to build, but overall the cost to operate
is very very cheap. That one facility with two reactors
provides nine percent of the state's power. Just imagine turning
on the other two reactors what that will mean. And
people are worried about the fuel just I didn't learn
this to lie was there. We actually can recycle that fuel.
But President Carter, who was a nuclear physicist when he
was president, passed the federal law that they won't allow

(08:01):
them to reuse the spent fuel because it does create
some other things that have to be stored. But it's
a shame, it really is that policy. How many nuclear
submarines have we seen blown up over the past how
many decades?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
None? No, No, it's a safe form, ob right. But
we did an extension in California correct to keep one
online because that was due to be shut down.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yet again, that one facility to Ablo Canyon. It's the
only one operating nine percent of the state's power. If
we shut it down, just imagine what's going to happen. See,
green energy is not cheap. It costs a lot of
green That's why it's green energy.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, well, let me ask you. I don't know how
in depth of knowledge you got with this with your
tour or how much you know. But these nuclear reactors,
we haven't torn them down, the ones we've shut down.
Can they be refurbished? Did they sit too long and
they're rantid? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I think they've been decommissioned. I'm not saying it's not
possible to bring them back, but my assumption is from
what they said, that it would just be better to
have these newer, smaller reactors. I think the Gates Foundation
has been doing a lot with her. It's like the
size a room and it will power an entire city,
these new modular nuclear reactors.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, think of all the oil with the petroleum industry
in this valley. I really do wish that's something that
Republicans and Democrats And are you still an independent? Is
that where you are?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, I'm what you would call it's a very rare thing.
I'm what you would call a blue dog Democrat.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
All right, so blue dog. Well, my uncle Bill, I
I was, I was a grown adult and I heard
what this is in Tennessee. I was like, what, Uncle
Bill was a Democrat. I almost felt like offended, sorry,
but I did, and it was explained he was a
blue dog Democrat.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
President Kennedy John F. Kennedy was a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
He'd be a Republican to day. But point taken. Yeah,
uh yeah, So okay, explain what that actually means. What
do you agree with Republicans and disagree with Democrats to
blue dog use.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't think it's about agreeing with Republicans. I think
it's about embracing common sense. You know, when I came
into office, the defund the pede movement because of the
terrible things that happened in Minnesota was everywhere. But here's
the thing, this is Fresno. We have a great police department,
and we had professional agitators trying to separate this community.

(10:14):
I could have been a politician and said, yeah, I've
got a D next to my name to heck with
the You know, those foot no THO officers are heroes.
They protected me and my family in my lifetime. They
protected our business, and they put them they didn't know me,
They just put themselves on the line. They just ask,
you know, nine one one, what's your emergency. So that's
one example. I come from a small business background. I
pay as I go. I'm very very careful with finances.

(10:37):
That money is not my money, it is your. I mean,
as a taxpayer, it is. It's our money as taxpayers,
and being careful with that money is really really important
to me. That's why I don't want to waste money
paying people not to commit crimes.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I know why. You're a blue dog Democrat and you
think Kamo's gonna become governor and you want in on that,
don't you.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Oh no, no, I don't. I'll say I was gonna
say no, common I'm gonna say no, I don't. There's
lots of other candidates out there that can do.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
We know you're running for a new office. When did
you decide to I guess I would mean your lead,
leaving your council seat a little early.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, that's the only piece of heartburn for me. I'll
have put in about eight years as a council member,
because I had two years in a partial term I
filled in for Steve Brando, and then I was reelected twice.
But the thing is about so about a couple of
months ago, the last year, last March, I ran for reelection,
was overwhelmingly reelected, thank goodness. Then in November, people that

(11:32):
voted in my district for me as their council member
were voting in another council race. And it wasn't just
one or two, it was dozens. And then we found
out there were hundreds of illegal ballots sent county wide.
That's when it really really got under my skin. And
here's the thing. All I want to do, Trevor, this
is an elected position. I bet you most of your

(11:56):
listeners have no idea who the county clerk is. If
I was to say aims like Susan Anderson or Brandy Orth.
They might know them their former clerks because they were present.
This is an elected position, meaning you are accountable. This
isn't about attacking anybody. This is about asking ourselves a question.
Do we have the best quality of service and the safe, reliable,

(12:18):
accurate elections that we want to have? I think the
answer is clearly no. A lot of folks are tired
of waiting in line. We've shut down the number of
polling places and look, I appreciate people to vote absentee,
but my job is not to tell you who to
vote for or how to vote. It's to create a
system where you can vote and trust the system. We

(12:38):
do not have that right now, and we can do better.
And I promise you if I'm elected on June second,
twenty twenty six, it's the next county clerk. Not only
will you know I'm working for you, you will not
have to worry about those problems we keep experiencing, and
we will put trust back in our elections.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Well, it sounds to me like he's running for the
office to make our elections better. He wants to be
the next president, County Register of Voters, personal city Council
in Mike Carbassi will come back and got some questions,
and I'll just tell you right now so you have
a little time prepared. I'm going to ask you for
your opinion on voter ID. We'll do that next.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
This is the Trevor Terry Show on the Valleys Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Get the election done, boy, Seriously, whoever put that, whoever
put that together, you need to tap into their playbook.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well, we will run it like a service business because
we are serving the people. That's how I run my
office at City Hall, and that's why you've seen a
lot more results in district too, in terms of you know,
pothole repair. We have a lot of work to do,
new parks being built and new parks being upgraded and
things like that. It's because we work for the people
and we're going to spend their money efficiently.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I read here GV wire dot Com David Todbroat a
quote here you said your people are saying they're tired
of waiting in line. I'll say, people I talk to
don't mind waiting in line, and we'd rather do that
than have ballots sent across the state. What kind of
issue do you feel with that it's relatively new it's
not like this has been enshrined. We did it in
twenty eighteen, and California Democrats, probably some blue dogs back

(14:04):
in the day, would agree with me that that's the
biggest opening for fraud that there is. Would your take
on that to term my voter? I D no, Well, no,
I'm talking about all the ballots that are sent out
to every registered voter, with the harvesting that's going on.
We've never done elections like that in America. This is
we're now what seven years into this test run.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, the interesting thing about that is this, so they
push the Voter Choice Act, everyone gets an absentee ballot.
You could still go vote to the polls, but then
they go and reduce the number of polling places. Then
they go and they take Presno county is notorious for
taking forever to count ballots. And this is the biggest problem.

(14:45):
You need a need, You need to elect someone who's
a public servant, not a bureaucrat. If the deadline is
five pm, uh, you know on our Friday, the current
incumbent will wait until four point fifty nine to publish results.
Yet they're getting all these absentee ballots. What the hell
are they doing, and you're saying the weeks leading up, yes, no, no, no,

(15:07):
weeks after the election. But they're also taking these ballots
in and storing them, but they're taking forever to actually
count them once they're legally allowed to count.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
All right, So that's a problem. Why don't we eliminate that?
That would mean getting back to not having ballots. That
is a great question mailed out. It's very very similar
to voter ID. I think that I haven't. I don't
want to go to voter ID yet. I don't want
to say on ballots for a minute, because I think
elections have been stolen that way.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
So I would argue what's worse than absentees is when
the current office in Fresno County is sending hundreds of
ballots out to people that are ineligible to vote in
an election and counting those ballots and then coming back
later and saying, oh, we're sorry, but we don't think
it actually made a difference.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I know we got we got issues here, but on
the big issue, do you want to be the clerk here?
How do you feel about all these back We've heard
them found in ditches, founding cars. I mean, why would
we if we wanted it to be free and fair.
Why would we even open up because it would be
so I hear you. My nephew live with me, but
he moved back to Detroit. I could have voted twice.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
So to give you the best to give you the
best answer you want, I agree. If you want the
most secure elections, vote on election day. We have so
many hours to vote and we'll have results the voter. Okay,
So here's the thing. I think secure elections are fair elections, Trevor,
We all believe in that. The problem is, as clerk
under the law, I have an obligation to be able
to count all the ballots. But when it comes to

(16:26):
passing legislation to ensure that we have voter ID laws,
it's the responsibility of the legislature. So when the legislature
makes it legal for me to do that, I'll roll
with them. But right now it's not legal, and I'm
not going to as an elected official. Now I take
an oath I will not break a state law. That's
the dilemma we have. So that is a great question
to ask policy making.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, We've had like City of Huntington Beach standing up,
wanted to do voter identification there, and the state sued
them back to stop that. So so here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
I've never been much of a show vote exploiting people's
really valid fears and concerns. The reality is, like so
many other problems in this state, our state legislature has
to grow up and make tough decisions. It's not difficult
against some form of ID, whether it's a free ID
card from the DMV or it's a you know, a

(17:18):
utility bill. We do it all the time for so
many different things. So to say that it's difficult for
people to get ID is ridiculous. We also, if you
don't have proper ID, you can give a provisional ballot
and come back and verify it later, but ensure we
capture your vote on that day. We won't count it
until we verify. So there's ways to do it.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
The problem is does allow it all that verifying though,
delays it into election season now, because we've had some
of these races be low triple digits, say one more
time separation of you know.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
By one hundred, and that's my that's my concern.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
We've had some it took a month, it took a month,
and so that makes everybody go, Hold on.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's not but that's not because of voter ID. Other
counties have just as many votes as we do, and
they do it faster. It's a management problem. It is
a problem that plagues Presno County versus other counties. That's
why I'm saying, Look, no matter what, whether I win
this election or not, we're going to talk about what
we as voters should expect from our registrar, voters, and
the county clerk. It's again, those services are public services,

(18:18):
and our democracy depends on that. So at the very least,
I hope it forces the incumbent to actually get out
there and be seen and answer tough questions like I'm
doing here today on your show. But he just doesn't
do it.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Oh, tough questions hadn't come out yet.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Hold on, okay, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
No. No, fifty two percent voted by mail last time.
I understand that that might be easier for some people,
but I just wish we could get back to how
it was. It seemed to work so much better, and
California has become basically a laughingstock of the nation and
the world. I mean, in the Congo, they do it quicker.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Which is ironic. I do think Trevor, with proper security,
we can do both absentine and in person ballot. The
problem is just recently under the current leadership, with the
current clerk, you saw they lost a key to the
ballot box and that was just sitting out there in
the public. We have no idea if it was copied.
We have no idea if that was ever used. I'm
going to hope it wasn't. He claims it wasn't. But

(19:15):
the problem is it's been one misstep after another, and
it wasn't like it was the person's first year on
the job. This is like year five on the job.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I just don't want to vote in a state where
a guy can go through the Del Taco drive food
with three hundred ballots in his back seat. That's legal.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, and the ballot harvesting, unfortunately is legal. But again
that is where the state legislature has to get put
their big boy pants on and do something about it. Yeah,
but they don't do it because they think it helps
me to.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Lend pressure from here. You say you don't want to
show vote, but I look at that as not show voting,
standing up for fairly there.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Was a chance. I will always stand up for fair, accurate,
secure elections and timely results. I will always stand for
that he gave.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
He gave me the quick finger too. I will not
TV he put a singer. Sorry, no, I know.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
If there is a way to join other registrars of
voters in county.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Clerks, he's already started a movement. Look at this. I
will do that with that's the website. Let's come up
with it. Let's go to domain search right now. Well,
buy that, get your credit card out. It'll be a
clerks against Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Clerks for the voters, works for the voters, Clerks for
the voters.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, you ready for the hard questions now? And
thank you for coming on. We always have a good time.
We've never we've never had a bad time. Alex Padilla.
He was escorted handcuff barely, you know, briefly detained. I
was a little surprised to see fresh council president said
a word from the DAIS about he s First Amendment rights,

(20:41):
especially if you're a senator, and they didn't know who
he was. He wasn't wearing his pen or his badge.
I thought, I'm just gonna say first of all, bad manners.
I was kind of surprised to hear that take from you.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I did say in my comments it wouldn't have been
my style to go and crash someone's press conference. What
I didn't like was the comment that Department of Homeland
Security didn't know who he was. There's not a lot
of six twelve Latino men in California. I mean, he's
very distinctive.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Even if they who he was, they didn't know what
he was up to. If he was he was aggressive, Trevor.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
You know me, if he was a Republican, I would
have said the same thing. That is a US senator.
He's elected by the people to represent us. If he's
going to yell and scream, this is democracy. You do
not tackle someone for doing that. That is unacceptable. Everyone
has constitutional rights. I will defend that till I'm blue
in the face.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
So you'll assume that they should have known who he
was the Secret Service.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
If the Secret Service doesn't know who the one hundred
US senators are, we are in deep doo doo and
they're in California in a federal building.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
All Right, you're not a Secret Service member, but you
are a city councilor sure, still a little David letterman,
here are you ready?

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Let's hear it.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Name this politician.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
I am embarrassed. I don't know who that is.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Congress Kevin Kylie California.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Okay, all right, let's go the name this politician Shannon Grove.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
All right, ding ding ding correct, all right, name this.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Politician Congressman Vince fom bing bing bing.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Got it right. All right, this is a little smaller picture.
I'll move it closer to you.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
She's a new as something member at Mesito bing bing bing.

Speaker 1 (22:14):

Speaker 2 (22:31):
All right, well, unless you're Kevin Kylie. I get in
trouble there.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Well he's new.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Well, here's an assembleman. Now he's a congressman and he
is up in Sacramento. Hey, man, good to have fun
with you and voter id. Let's get rid of these
ballots and let's announce it at least by lunch time
the next day.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
At the very least, we should know we should know
a month look at Pennsylvania, you know you know that night?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, uh, website for your election.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
So it were we're we haven't gone that far yet.
We just started the campaign. Embarrassed to say, but I
give you my cell phone number five sorry, five five
nine six one five six four. I've given it to
my constituents. It's available if anyone wants to call or text.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Say it again.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Five five nine six one five sixty four, same number
I've had. But where have you ever been where your
cell phone's gone off? And it's embarrassed you have you
had that happen? We I have. It was last week actually,
so we are in closed session. I can reveal this
because it's not policy related. And I run these meetings
now sometimes it gets a little boring hearing politicians gap

(23:38):
back and forth. So I go on my phone and
open Instagram and I wasn't muted, And the very first
reel to come up that was loud was a City
of Fresno Parks video for lifeguards. It literally said we're
back boys. It was the lifeguards and it was these
young ladies talking about that, and it made me look
like the biggest I don't know like like Bill Clinton. No,

(23:59):
like Bill Clinton, I'll it that way.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
So it's a it's a meeting going on. Suddenly it's
interrupted by we're back boy, I know, and I just
wanted to did you go, guys, look, it's a fright
he did. Yeah, you have to prove that.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
The good news is we had personnel in the room
that knew about the video, like, oh no, that's a
city video.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
You're okay, Mike, Now that's funny. Thank you for bringing
a laugh to my face. That's right, Thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
This is the Trevor Kerry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
We heard him say it other registrar voters around here,
and we'll start a movement. But yes, it really is
up to those elected officials up in Sacramento to change
this election season. How embarrassing a month later and it
can affect the United States Congress could be hung up
over all these ballots we got floating around in California.

(24:44):
All right, I'm gonna move over to chat gpt ai
is fascinating, it's amazing. But they're now finding out that
chat gpt is going to help kids get gender reffirming care,
and chat gpt AI will now tell you to hide
it from your parents. Well, why wouldn't it? Doesn't it

(25:07):
all it is? Doesn't it? Just go out and just
sweep together the whole world wide web and present that
to you. The Daily Wire they wrote about a situation
involving a twelve year old girl struggling with gender dysphoria.
Chat GPT provided instructions how to transition by her parents.
Back also included directions to radical transgender activist groups that

(25:30):
promote the child gender transitions. I told you last year
was going to be normal, so we should really enjoy
twenty twenty five. Who knows what twenty twenty six is
going to bring. If in twenty twenty five we now
have robots grooming kids and hiding it for mom and dad.
Sounds like president to fight school district. Chat GPT is

(25:52):
not allowed for kids under thirteen. Fourteen to seventeen year
olds have to get parental permission. How did they know it?
How do they know that's mom, that's dad? But the
I'm just gonna call them that the robot, let's call
it the robot. The robot that is programming didn't care that.

(26:12):
The Daily Wire reporters pretended to be twelve and fourteen
year old girls said you do not need parental consent,
so they offered them gender affirming resources, chess binders, safe
people to talk to, lgbtqu support organizations, man b ls above.

(26:37):
Sure has learned how to use technology, has he not?
I hear a lot of these parents say, well, I
don't know how my kid got involved. Well they were
on some kind of Instagram group of young artists. Yeah,
that's how a lot of these things have had. And
AI chatbots now saying you can change your gender. Heide

(26:58):
it from your parents. We have moved beyond the looney bin.
This is a real post from Planned Parenthood. It shows
I don't even know it looks like a black, chubby
man with blondish hair. His female breast they've covered up,
but it said transmen needs cervical cancer screening too. This

(27:23):
is a billboard flyer poster the marketing from Planned Parenthood.
I really do hope in the big beautiful bill. One
big aspect of that is the defunding of Planned Parenthood
that the Senate said needs to happen. So, yes, our
tax paying money went to create this little ad right
here because it's men's health. Mont and planned Parenthood said

(27:46):
that means highlighting the health needs of all men. Transmen
are men, and they need cervical cancer screenings as well.
They said, here's some ways to make cervical cancer screening
more comfortable. Insert the speculum yourself, self collected screening, anxiety medication.

(28:10):
I don't know what a speculum is, and I don't
want to. I want to live the rest of my
life not knowing what that is. How how long are
we going to keep this up? Man? Listen, cervical cancer
screening is a serious thing for whoremen. Why would you
waste idy? Calm down, Calm down, I'm getting the kool

(28:31):
aid crashed through the wall feeling here. Yeah, that was real,
lad from playing Parenthood. Okay, I where did I cueue
this up here? This is I have We're really beyond guys.
We have moved now to you actually have organizations like

(28:55):
I don't know if this was ABC, CBS or NBC
AB SO, I don't know who it was, but it
was a local affiliate up in Maine. And since it's
mens Healt Month, I guess here they wanted to celebrate
with also Pride Month, and they wanted to put an
ugly dude. I mean he katrise? What's you say? Katrise? Katrise?

(29:20):
Money was the on air weather individual pride forecast. Oh

Speaker 3 (31:03):
This is the treportary show on the Valley's power talk.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
In my home is because some black woman was able
to stack the grocery show.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, Joe, come on, man, what are you doing.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
I'm prepared to say that I have a record of
over forty years and that I'm going to beat Joe Biden. Yeah,
look at my record. Uh huh, you're gonna beat him?

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Thank you that incredible introduction.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
My name is Joe Biden.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
I'm Joe Biden's husband, and I am Common was running mate.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
You all think I'm a kidding, don't you?

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Now?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
We believe you. I believe Maybe I don't know, maybe
you were sucking blood out of kids or something you
don't do.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
In the Democratic burden.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Are your people in the Republican Party that think reflect
them a blood out of kids?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
I'm not sure the Democratic Party? Yeah. Imagine being the
reporter of the president looking yeah, sucking blood out of heads.
You'd be like, ah, maybe we need to report on
him not being right. Well they didn't, did they. For
those of you have never heard the name Nearer Tandon,

(32:20):
neither had I. I guess a real fancy secretary around there.
She's a or was a well. The Senate rejected her.
She was nominated to head the Office of Management and
Budget in twenty twenty one, and the Democrat controlled Senate
rejected her because of her temperament and extreme views. It's

(32:40):
good to know that who was in charge the unelected
auto pen. President near A Tandon, testifying before Congress, former
president of the far left ink tank Center for American Progress, Yeah,
admitted to running the auto pen. She didn't just witness
the signature process. She oversaw it. In some cases she
used the one signing the president's name to executive orders

(33:02):
and laws. This is a technicality. Know that wasn't called
a transfer of power. Let's go listen in here.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
Was there an ever to disguise President Biden's condition?

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Now.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Near A Tangent, the former director of the Domestic Policy
Council and the first Biden White House aid to appear
before the House Oversight Committee in its investigation of President
Biden's condition and accusations. Those closest to him covered it up.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, they did. Congressman Comer, he's the guy who's going
to get to the bottom of the China Hunter Biden crackhead,
all that, all that money and stuff. But he's kind
of curious who was the president for the last four years.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I think the American people want to know.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
I think there's a huge level of curiosity in the
press corps with respect to who was actually calling the
shots in the Biden administration. Yeah, I think we do
need to know that that is one of the largest
scandals in United States history. If you wanted to count
him on one hand, and I'm not go center and

(34:04):
try and rattle my brain off on all the scandals,
but yeah, it's probably on that one hand count that
you had a president of the United States. I'll go ahead,
since we weren't attacked and put it at number two.
Kennedy's head being blown off, that's probably one with all
that tied end. But yeah, this is man, This is

(34:25):
right up there out of it, not knowing. We know
when he sat down and was interviewed for the deposition,
couldn't think of what year's son died. I played with
the audio and that was released of the Robert hirtapes
of the ramblings that went on. Guys he was You
wouldn't want that person in control of the little League snackstand.

(34:48):
Uh huh.

Speaker 7 (34:49):
Biden aids, Anthony Bernald, Ashley Williams, and Andy Thomasini have
also agreed to speak with committee staff over the next
few weeks. The committee has subpoenaed Biden's physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor.
Democrats say that this investigation is a sham.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Republicans trying to find dig up from dig up some
kind of post impeachment or whatever we're doing here is
an extraordinary waste of time, and the American people expect
and deserve better. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Uh, grab that staff secretary right there here, let's just
stamp she authorized.

Speaker 7 (35:22):
Tandon told investigators today that when she was serving as
President Biden's staff secretary, she was authorized to direct the
use of the auto pen, she says, using a system
that she inherited from previous administrations. The source also says
that Tandon told investigators that when she was staff secretary,
she had minimal interaction with President Biden in these cases

(35:43):
and instead largely dealt with his inner circle.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah. I wonder how the inner circle. We'll get all
this out, We'll get to the bottom of it. We
did you know Hillary went to jail for Russia collusion Falci, Yeah,
he's in jailed.
