Catching up With David Tangipa, Candidate for 8th Assembly District

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
David Tonga, Paul, welcome in, sir, Good talk to you.
Haven't seen you in a while.Yeah, it's been a little bit.
Well, everybody's kind of taking alittle campaign since the primary, just a
little bit of a we're gonna theeye of the hurricane over us right now
before the next phase comes in.Right. Oh, yeah, it's starting
for me though. It's a fullsprint till November. You don't quit,
do you. Nope, I can't. You don't quit. When I was

(00:21):
looking at that video grabbing that audiothere of your announcement, sheriff's Sononi and
supervisor Brendew look like your secret serviceor standing next to you up there.
Branda had the sunglasses on, butthe sheriff sheriff over there. Let me
ask you the first question here.Let's say you and I were in a
downtown LA high rise and we goton the elevator together and you told me

(00:42):
you're a candidate for the Assembly district, and we had forty five seconds together
on the elevator. Tell me whyyou're running for office. Well, just
think about the state of affairs thatCalifornia is in today. We're the fifth
largest economy in the world, andyet we have rolling blackouts, our farmers
can't receive enough of the water allocationthat we're looking at when we have a
d and eight percent of the capacity. We look at what's happening when it

(01:03):
comes to affordability and how nobody canafford whether it's fire insurance, gas utilities,
or their daily basics and food andgroceries. And yet we're right here
in California that feeds America. Nothingis working for Californias. And I'm tired
of California Camp and I'm here tobring some new energy and some new ideas
to just pull California back from thebrink of collapse. And that's what my

(01:23):
campaign's about. From some of thework that I've done, whether it's forest
management, taking on crime with Propforty seven that I've worked on with Lisa
Smithcamp, or what we've done justto highlight some of the issues in California
policies. For seconds, I heardenough to go sit down and have some
coffee with you. Keep talking,man, I like what I've heard.
Yeah, Well, I just lookat where is California working for individuals?

(01:46):
And I put I asked that questionjust the other day, is it working
for you? When it comes togroceries, is it working for you,
when it comes to the affordability ofgas, is it working for you,
when it comes to your fire insurance? And just owning a home in California.
I was just seeing where lightning.They're talking about lightning like cal matter.
I just read that. You seethat. Yeah, they're worried about
the because we really haven't a fewfires but nothing quite yet. But hey,

(02:08):
all it takes is a spark.You see all the dry grass just
around here. Imagine as you getin the foothills and up in the mountain.
So I love data and I lovedata analytics. And so if you
look back to nineteen eighty three andnineteen eighty four, those were two of
the wettest periods because California goes througha forty year wet cycle. You could
follow the Farmer's Almanac and see that. And so in eighty three eighty four,
eighty three is the wettest year onrecord. Eighty seven was one of

(02:30):
the worst fire seasons in California history. You can ask any other California or
a CalFire that was working that time. They talked about the three month fire
that happened in Yosemite because they couldn'tput it out due to the grass fuels
and the latter fuels that were createdfrom the abundance of water that they received.
I am telling people this right nowas a fore warning. In about
one year or even two years,we will have the worst fire season probably

(02:54):
in United States history, due tothe amount of dead timber that we have
and the amount of vegetation grow thatwe have seen through these last three rain
cycles. So you're saying wet seasons, everything grows and then it just drives
out and it becomes lader Nils.You brought out that eighty seven Yosemite fire,
and I just triggered. It wasthe second time I'd ever been to
Fresno. I was dating a girlin Santa Rosa at the time whose brother

(03:15):
was one of those fire hoppers,and he died not in the fire,
but on his way up to thefire in an accident. So I remember
that fire, and that's why wehad to come here for a general that
was a huge one. Yep,it was a three month long fire and
they could not put out Yosemite.That was a slogan that they had used.
And so I had been telling peopleso what we're going to hear in
about a year or two years,when these fires really start pushing, they're

(03:38):
going to start saying it's climate changeand it's all of this other stuff.
I am telling people right now.There is too much fuel. There are
too many grass fuels, there aretoo many ladder fuels, and there are
too many dead trees. All ofthat equals up together to have the worst
fire in probably United States history.Way too much. And you can look
at the data from U see Berkeley. UC Berkeley did a study called the
Blogic Forest Project that identified the massiveamounts of dead trees. I wrote a

(04:01):
policy piece with the Golden Together portiontalking about how we have over one hundred
million dead trees and just the SierraForest alone, how there's over They looked
at about sixty nine million acres ofland and they found that trees were in
between eight hundred to one thousand treesper acre, when a healthy forest would
be in between twenty and two hundredtrees per acre. So that's like planting

(04:24):
one thousand tomatoes in a one byone box. You'll never get a healthy
product. All of it will dieand it's all gonna burn. And yet
we're not even if we think wehave fire insurance problems. Now, imagine
when that happens and we have millionsand millions and millions of acres burn,
just like what happened with the Lightningfire, and just like what happened with
the Dixie fire. Before these lastrain cycles, David, we kind of

(04:46):
got here because environmentalists didn't want logging. They didn't want and what does logging
do that thnds it out. That'sa haircut for the forest. They're barbers
for the forest. Right now,we got shaggy long hair that's gonna be
catching on fire the next pirate techniquethat goes off, and it's well,
you know what you're you have anincredible memory. I say that about David
Tangapa and Alex Tavilian from the sanwonQuing Valley Sun. I interview a lot

(05:10):
of people and there's nothing in frontof me, and this is all from
his mind. So when that firehappens, just remember June thirteenth, twenty
twenty four podcasts. You can goback and mark your warning for Well,
we'll see if you'll be in officein that. Let's hope it doesn't happen,
But how could it not not happen, right, I mean it's it's
inevitable. Yeah, it's right there. Fires the logs are all stacked up.

(05:32):
When we put lighter fluid on it, it was just waiting for the
match. Well, it's it's astonishingto me the name Fresno means ash tree
because fires were so prevalent area.That's not what it means corn nut.
Presno means ash tree, tree ortree. What do you tree? Hash
tree? Ash tree aka not ashtree, ash tree, not ash tray.

(05:55):
And that's just part of its name. You know, when there are fires
here in this area. This areahas always been inundated with fires. When
the conquistkadors came here. Supervisor BuddyMendez talks about this all the time.
He was like, this was thesmoky Valley, And I talked about how
this valley was filled with smoke allthe time because the Native Americans would light
the forest on fire every year toclear out in the forest. They were

(06:15):
barbers, they knew they needed thehaircut. Well, I guess, and
I always think back in the day, they could always see the mountains up
there that we get to see afew months a year. But it seems
like no it was probably probably evenworse than now, wasn't it. I
probably, yes, yeah, becausewe see how bad it gets. I
was going through clearing out memory onmy phone and I went to videos and
I was scrolling back what I don'tneed you I was going to delete,

(06:35):
and I had one of driving ona Saturday. It looked like I don't
know, outskirts of bag Dad ona sunny day where war had gone off.
It was like you could stare rightat the sun at three o'clock in
the afternoon, that just all thatsmoke, that yellow tint, that glowy
yellow tint, and you're like,that's what we're breathing. Well. I

(06:56):
remember back in twenty eighteen when Iwas playing football and it was the fires
were happening. Back in August,coach Tedford moved our practice to five point
thirty in the morning, so wehad to get there at about four o'clock
for breakfast because the particles in theair. There's an NCAA bylaw that shows
you can't practice if it's over onehundred and fifty particles, and so he

(07:19):
would just make us practice in themorning because we could get around that because
it was lower than one hundred andfifty parts per million and so, but
I mean we were actually breathing,and it said equivalent to smoking six packs
of cigarettes a day is what wewere doing for an hour and a half
of prior. You're like the nineteensixty Oakland Raiders. Hey, but we

(07:40):
won the Mountain West Championship that year, so you know, give and takes.
Well. I always hear that goingand playing in Denver and acclimating to
that. I wonder when other peoplefrom maybe you know, Idaho or whatever
come in where there's maybe better airquality, I wonder it has to affect
him somehow in some way. Theyprobably don't realize it at the moment,
but I guess getting acclimated to itactually helped. So we don't need to

(08:01):
get acclimated to air pollution though that'sthat's not healthy. David Toga, pog
candidate for the eighth Assembly district.Give us the GPS of the eighth district.
So it's a seven county district,so predominantly it's North Fresno. So
if you really go north of i'dsay north of Shields that includes a lot
of the fig Garden area, andthen you just stay north there along the

(08:22):
fig Garden Loop, and so allof North Fresno, the entire city of
Clovis, and then you go northand east of the one eighty, you
could follow the one sixty eight.It's all of northern Fresno County as well.
That makes up seventy percent of thepopulation in this district. And then
the remaining counties are eastern Madera Countythis side of the ninety nine, not
including the city of Madera and notincluding you get up to the foothills all

(08:45):
and then we have all of thefoothills, We have all of Mariposa,
all of Tuwallomy, all of Calaverasother than the small part of Copperopolis,
and then you go into Mono andInno County as well. So it's a
seven county district including Fresno County,Madera County to wall Me, Mariposa,
Calaveris, Mono and Inyo. He'sreceived a ton of endorsements for such a
new candidate. Go back, David. For those that are hearing you for

(09:09):
the first time, we can neverassume even though you've been on a lot
of times and you've been out thereshaking a lot of hands and at a
lot of events, there's people thatare just hearing about you for the first
time. Give us that birthplace.Yeah, well, I was born and
raised actually here in born in Sacramento, and I ended up here when I
walked on to Fresno State and earneda scholarship from there. My mother's from
the island of Tonga. My fatherwas one hundred percent disabled veteran. We

(09:31):
just had his funeral this past Friday, and so that was beautiful. He
served this country and I look atyou know, I love it here,
you know, growing up in alow income community and having the opportunity.
I always tell people I lived theAmerican dream, but all of us right
now are going through the California nightmare. And I want to make sure that
we're getting this place back on trackbecause I care about California and what we

(09:52):
want to do in twenty years.I want to be a professor at Fresno
State. I want to coach myson's high school football team at Clovis South
or wherever I'm at. And Iwanted to do the radio like I do
here for the postgame analysis show forPresdent State. And I just don't see
that future coming with those individuals andthe individual leadership in place today with the

(10:13):
cliff that's coming for California, wehave all these red lights showing up and
we're not doing anything about it,and we need new ideas and new energy.
And that's why I have the supportof Jim Patterson, Lisa Smithcamp,
Shannon Grove, Sheriff Mims, andthese other fighters in this community, and
they have empowered me to do thisbecause they know that we need a new
direction, a man that knows whathis future wants to be. I'm fifty

(10:35):
eight and I don't know yet.We need to continue this coffee conversation we're
having here. Thank you for everythingthat you set up until this point.
Your opinion obviously on Sacramento is thatwe need change, and you've given out
the warnings and it's literally like andyou and I had this conversation on the
phone a while back, and Isaid, David, you're like the guy

(10:58):
warning everybody that, hey, thebridge is out. I mean, and
you make a well, you makea well concise argument for what you're stating,
and it really is they're not payingattention in the state. And when
we were there, Cliff is there. When we are talking about that example,
I had told you that if we'rein a sixty eight to seventy three
billion dollar deficit, and if thedeficit, the worst deficit in California's history

(11:20):
was forty six billion dollars, well, then we should expect something worse than
what happened in two thousand and eightand two thousand and nine. It's just
like the data that I've used forthe eighty three eighty four wet cycle and
the eighty seven fires. We're lookingat the massive fires coming in this area.
And if we think we have fireissues right now, the fare plan,
if you are on the fare planright now, because that is all

(11:41):
you could get, the California insuranceof last resort that will go bankrupt with
one fire, similar to the Creekfire, that will go bankrupt with one
fire, similar to the Dixie fireor the Lightning fire. And so if
we're looking at this budget deficit,if we're looking at the insurance issues,
if we're looking at the weather andthe world water and the dead trees and

(12:01):
the mortality and all of that,these are all of the markers that show
that this isn't working. But yetwe can do something right now, if
we just get out of it,and we get out of our own way.
I mean the California issues, likeI tell people all the time,
and it makes me so angry.I am tired of conservative complacency. And
a lot of conservatives aren't complacent,but they like to kind of yell and

(12:22):
shout at the screen, but they'renot getting out there where they can get
involved with different campaigns or they canget involved with different ones. And I'm
tired of California refugees and these individualslead leaving this state when we need more
California rebels to step up and fightfor this place because we cannot get away
from here. It will follow us. We say, vote, vote,
but we got to have the rightpeople to vote for. Let's come back
and let's talk about that. Myin studio guest, he is Assembly district

(12:46):
candidate David Tangopa, and I thinkall politicians should be asked this question,
and I'm going to ask him whenwe come back, see if he believes
like the United States government does.The Department of Defense is now stated even
Tucker Carls and Joe Rogan UAPs orsome Americans call them UFOs. The question
next, All right, this isthe Trevor Cherry Show on The Valley's Power

(13:11):
Talk. Since David David Tongua Pahe played football at Fresno State and pick
us up what you did after thatwhen you graduated, David. Well,
actually, while I was a seniorat Fresno State, I did an internship
with Warren Fortier, who's a formerbulldog as well, and he was teaching
me real estate and real estate investing. And so within that first year I

(13:31):
was able to sell nineteen homes andnot focusing on first time home buyers and
veterans and just helping them break becauseI just I had noticed it while I
was studying for my masters that oneof the easiest ways to break generational poverty
was through home ownership. And sosince then I've been able to do just
about twenty million dollars in sales whereI helped my parents, my brothers,
my siblings, many people in thecommunity that I had grown up in actually

(13:54):
break that cycle through that. Andso, but also while I was doing
that finishing my master's, I wantedto work. I have a passion for
policy because I think policy is whatchanges a lot of people's lives. They
can make it easier or they canmake it harder here in California. I
think you know which side I believeCalifornia likes to work on. And so
I started working for Fresno County SupervisorNathan Magzig one week before COVID and we

(14:18):
got really busy from there and I'vehad the deal a lot, whether it
comes to the public health ordinances.Creek Fire was also that year where I
got to work directly with Nathan.A lot of people saw Nathan's videos that
he had done on social media anddifferent things. I'm the one who stands
behind the camera videotaping him doing thatbecause we like to inform a lot of
the public and just that when hehired me, and he said, I

(14:39):
want to be the definition of whatit means to be a public servant and
to serve the public, and Iwant you to help me with that,
And that's exactly who I wanted towork for. As well. You look
back in time. I've heard youreference back to years in the past.
Here the housing bubble that burst inseven eight. Are we how close are
we to that? Because everybody's justhaving everything's good. Prices are going up

(15:01):
right, I mean almost unaffordable inCalifornia. For many people, it's what
is it nine hundred thousand? Now, the average price in California, nine
hundred thousand dollars is the average purchasepurchase price for a home that is eighteen
hundred square feet. Wow, almosta million dollars. Man, you used
to drive by a million dollar hometo be like, hey, that's a
million dollar home, and that wassomething in California. Now that's just a

(15:24):
normal kind of Yeah, it's gonnalook nice, but it's not gonna be
like wow, lifestyles of the richand famous. That's not gonna be there.
What's the average in the valley rightnow? The average in the valley
home price? Yeah, it's aboutfour hundred and well, Fresno is four
hundred and thirty five thousand. Now, when you got going a few years
back, while, was it hightwos? Oh when I got go yeah,

(15:46):
no, no, no, itwas probably barely two hundred thousand dollars
average home price barely too. Andwhat hear'd you start nineteen twenty seventeen,
twenty eight twenty said, wow,yeah, look at that? Would you
look at that there? Oh?Yeah? Have you looked up to the
sky and seen something that you can'texplain like an unidentified anomalous phenomena as they

(16:06):
call them now UAPs. So whileI was driving back from campaigning has in
mariposting. While I was in Mariposta, I had pulled off on the side
of the road because I saw thesetrail of lights that were going through.
I post a picture of it andjust asking what the heck is this?
What year this? I mean twentytwenty three, this was last year during
that time? What time I waslate? Probably nine o'clock. It was

(16:27):
dark. It was dark. Itwas dark, but lonely dark. A
lot of people reached out to mylights and said I was not followed by
lights. What did they say toyou? They said that it was Starlink
and some of the Starlak satellites andso. But it just looked very interesting.
Okay, Now you can tell somethingthat is way way way up yonder
like a star, like a satellite. It's gonna look like a star from

(16:48):
the from the earth, right,I would think, did this look bigger
to you than? Did it lookcloser? It did not. It was
it was far. You believe whatthey told you. I didn't, Okay,
I mean, I have no questionthat it could be there was something.
It was unidentified. You didn't know. Yeah, it was. Now
a lot of times this would berelegated to you know, ten o'clock,

(17:11):
eleven o'clock midnight at night. Nowwe have Congress and we have the military,
and they're saying these are unexplained andit's there, and they've even gone
as far as some of the individualstalking. And I for it was at
at least the Phonic of New Yorksaid, are there? Do we have
beings? Like beings? And hesaid, I'll talk to you away from

(17:33):
here. Well, and it wasAnna Polina too, She's a congress That's
who it was. You're up onit because you've seen one. You just
let her body convince you it wasn'tone. Right, I'm tell you the
minute I see one, it's UFOpodcast NonStop from my basement. Really.
Oh yeah, okay, I'm looking. Every night I go out, my
alarm goes off. I'm like,oh yeah, UFO, go out,
look up. Nope, don't seeone. Yeah. I remember though as

(17:56):
a kid, I mean in thelike I was, let's see, like
seven years old in nineteen seventy threeor something, and I remember it was
a big thing in Memphis. Somebodyhad seen a UFO off the Mississippi River
bridge or something, and we driveacross it to pick my dad up from
work from Memphis to West Memphis andback. I always remember looking off that
bridge. Man, I'm gonna seewhen I'm gonna see when I'm gonna see
one. Do you do you believewe are alone in this universe? You

(18:18):
didn't expect these questions, but thegovernment and the Defense Department's talking about now
and showing things that cannot be explainedfor military aircraft where they come at these
speeds and dive right into the waterand disappear. What I mean, this
isn't conspiracy talk anymore. No,it's not conspiracy talk anymore. And it's
funny how I've seen a lot ofwhat were conspiracies now people like, you

(18:40):
know, the Jeffrey Epstein one wasa conspiracy, and now it's you know,
factual, and conspiracy theories are onehundred and the doubters are zero.
So that's you know, all ofthat. I will say, I do
not believe that we are alone,but in the sense of I don't necessarily
believe in intelligent life form out there, mainly in the sense of well,
look how many animals that we haveon this planet, and how many of

(19:03):
them are actual intelligent my form,but I would say, I mean,
it would be very hard for menot to think that there could be a
worm on some other exoplanet out there. Even watching cern anything about trying to
open the black hole to the otherside, bending time and over in is
it Switzerland? I think, Yeah, they have the biggest hydro collider ever

(19:23):
going. I mean, it's thebiggest thing ever built, and they're trying
to find the God particle. They'replaying around with a lot of stuff I
don't think we should be playing aroundwith. I actually read about that a
little bit when they were able tocreate those micro black holes. Right,
Yes, that's what they're trying,and they don't know what it's going to
do. It could suck us allinto it. People are going, what
are they talking about? How didthey go from water in the valley to

(19:48):
unidentify our what's you unidentified anomalous phenomena? That's the new change on it.
I wonder how we would all change, because even Reagan brought up like,
what would the world do when wecome together suddenly? If we were attacked
by outer space right, and everypresident or candidate is or asked these questions
on Jimmy Kimmel at night, andthey always do that. I can't tell

(20:11):
you a thing, but a lothas come out, and what's amazing to
me is that. I mean it'sbeen ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox,
all the media, CNN have allcovered this, but it's kind of
like we don't want to talk aboutit. That's how I would have thought
the minute the government came out,going, guys, here's the video.
It's real. We don't know whatit is that it would be the biggest
buzz, but I don't think wewant to think somebody else is there.

(20:36):
I just that's how I feel itis. I think it's spiritual well with
everything that's kind of moved on andlike what's been presented and different things like
this. I don't know, alot of people just want to mind their
own business. Things can come outof the sky, things can come out
of the water. They all ofthis can happen, but most it's how
disconnected and the average everyday person isdisconnected. I mean that's just the way

(20:56):
it is, especially when I believeYale did a study show that seventy percent
of news readers are actually just headlinereaders. They will read a headline and
then derive their opinion from that.Well, if seventy percent of people are
deriving their news from just a headline, manipulation of headlines could be enough just
to convert whether it's general populations thatthey believe one thing or the other,

(21:18):
and so it's we've got to getpeople back to actually like getting into the
system. But I also do believethat that was part of an effort that
was done with the degradation of educationfrom a lot of and I just openly
admit it. I think people haveweaponized the education system to denigrate the full
system to where we've seen a loweringof standard across the board, to where

(21:40):
if you just have people who aregenerally uneducated, they're too busy. They
want to just go home, eatdinner, hang out with their wife,
hang out with their husband, hangout with whoever they are with, and
go put on a football game.That's what most people want, just a
basic simple life and leave me alone. There's nothing wrong with that, and
that's called peace and tranquility and ingoing light, But unfortunately we're from space

(22:03):
the assisted Trevor Cherry Show on theValley's power dog water water water. As
you've described, after a bunch ofyears, when we get a lot of
rain, suddenly we have a bunchof dried out vegetation that is fire and
that's one side of water that's needed. But we have to grow these vegetables.
And you would think it'd be almost, no, not almost, you

(22:26):
would think it would already be pastthe national security issue. The way Sacramento
hand does America's food. We arethe bread basket. We are the bread
basket. Yep. Just if youlook at the economic value of Fresno County
to Larry County, King's County,Crane County, you know you want to
add in Stanislaus. We actually AndI always find this funny when I debate
with those on the other side ofthe aisle. They talk about how important

(22:48):
Ukraine is. Well, Ukraine hasa smaller ag value to Europe than the
Central Valley has to the world,and yet that puts it. And then
they prioritize what Ukraine is to Europeand what they are in that area,
and yet we don't even prioritize ourown home. When I was in Iowa
and I was talking to legislators acrossthe nation and other individuals that were there

(23:10):
for the Iowa Caucuses. One ofthe things that I wanted to do is
I went to the local store andI was wondering, how cheap is the
food here compared to California. Itwas negative thirty degrees outside. So I
can tell you this. They're notgrown anything. And it was cheaper to
buy food in Iowa than here inCalifornia, and we grow it. That
doesn't make sense. I heard there'smore cows in Montana than people and they

(23:32):
meet from Brazil. That didn't makesense. Nope, environmentalists have ruined the
forest. They've also ruined our farms. For those that aren't aware, over
fifty percent of the available surface waterthey would get every year goes to flush
out the salinization of a delta toprotect certain fish, the smelt, and
they use it also for the troutright or no, the salmon, and

(23:56):
they prioritize this and this has beengoing on for decades, battle the fish
over the farmer. But the factthat fifty percent of our water goes to
that until it rained a few yearsago, I thought with the drought that
was going on, we were goingto have sheriff standing on the side of
of their county going you're not takingthis water. Well, the water battles

(24:17):
have been going on for a longtime, but this is absurd. Well,
and that's actually one of the things. It's like the guy that's running
against me in this campaign, he'sa former congressman. He wrote the bill
the San Joaquin River Settlement and authoredit with Dianne Feinstein to push out two
hundred and fifty thousand acre feet ofwater for the San Juquein River salmon.
And so he authored and wrote thebill that actually created unimpaired flows that they

(24:41):
now want to include up and downthe state on a lot of these rivers
and byways. And I don't givethat credit. I don't call these individuals
environmentalists. I actually call them antihuman activists because the things that they are
doing is scarcity. Just like withwhat happened. The reason why we have
rolling blackouts here in California is becausea bill called SB ten seventy eight,

(25:02):
which created the Renewables Portfolio in Californiaback in two thousand and two under Gray
Davis. When that happened, theyexcluded large scale hydro electrical facilities like the
Big Helms project here in Fresno Countythat used to when originally built back in
the nineteen twenties, supplement one hundredpercent of the power in down South in
in LA. That is not consideredgreen and renewable. Right now, we

(25:23):
could end rolling blackouts in California bysimply adding legislation that says the word existing,
all existing large scale hydroelectrical facilities willbe included on that portfolio, and
then we will meet all of ourgreen criteria. Because it doesn't make sense
to me that forty megawatts is theline on that. If it produces over
forty megawatts, apparently it's not green. If it's under apparently it is greed.

(25:45):
Well you tell me where it getsprogressively more brown as it moves on,
because that doesn't make sense. Andthat is a weaponization of the policies
that these anti human activists, notenvironmentalists have done here in California. And
you can also see that type oflegislation and the weaponization of it all across
the board in different sectors, whetherit's water policy, the allocations, different
things where farmers are able to useon pesticides, what they've done with Uh,

(26:10):
there's another bill called SB thirteen fortynine that was targeted towards individuals who
want to donate to campaigns, butonly one sector and excludes a bunch of
others because they know one sector donatesto more conservatives than not. That is
a weaponization of the policies. Lookat what happened with the policy when it
comes out to Panera bread getting excludedfrom the twenty dollars an hour minimum wage

(26:30):
for fast food simply because a persondonated one hundred and sixty thousand dollars,
and yet it creates it to wearbread if you made bread pre May twenty
twenty three or twenty sixteen or whateverit was that only included Panera. How
many more markers do we need tosee that the individuals in charge here in
California have weaponized the process to makeit harder on every single Californian. And

(26:52):
that doesn't matter if you're a Democrat, Republican or independent. You should be
angry and you should step up andget involved. I don't know where they
think they get the audacity to stepin and tell business what to do.
Have you ever heard a good answerto the question why did the state of
California. Just pick the fast foodindustry. There's so many industries they could
have that had a lot of minimumwage workers in it. They could have

(27:14):
gone in and created a council board. I think it's just a step to
see how far we'll let them go, right, And they thought it'd be
popular with the younger people that hada lot of fast food employees out there.
But what is it? The latestare saying ten thousand jobs have been
killed from this brilliant Sacramento brilliant.Well, not only that there is a
minimum wage twenty five dollars an hourthat they did for some of the medical

(27:36):
ones. They took that away,didn't they That they're trying to stop right
now because all of the medical facilitiesand people need to know this. And
here's another red light that's flashing.There's economic Sorry, there's earthquake standards that
are right now on the table forKoia and for CRMC downtown Fresno. That
is an estimated cost just to bringthem up to the California earthquake standards would

(27:59):
be over a billion dollars for justdowntown Fresno. And if it doesn't meet
the standards by twenty thirty. Ithas to shut down. We need to
start sounding the alarm because Madera Countyright now doesn't even have a hospital.
And then you look at what happenedwith the budget today, five hundred million
dollars for illegal immigrant healthcare while alsothey're reducing child education through K through twelve,

(28:22):
and they're also reducing funding for fostercare kids here in California. Well,
they did anything opposite of that,that would be the story of the
day. That's just that's how Sacramentodoes it, isn't they They don't take
care of their own citizens. Theyall take care of foreign nationals that broke
into our country before they will takecare of you, the people. Well,
it's a priority issue. The priorityis we're not even focused on Californians

(28:42):
and fixing foster care kids or evenour own elementary school children. When right
now, the average child graduating froma California elementary school reads at a third
grade reading level because of COVID,skip three years of their in person education,
and they have destroyed a generation andthey are not doing enough, not
doing enough, and yet we're tryingto take care of those when all this

(29:04):
has done is incentivize others from maybethey're in Arizona. What stops them from
coming to get medical services here inCalifornia and leaving? And what tax bases
do we do it. I getinto these debates all the time when it
comes to what people want to dofrom Norway, Sweden and Denmark and how
they've created national health care and it'sa lot better. Well, you want
to know what else they have.It takes ten years to be a citizen

(29:26):
of Norway. It also they donot allow you to get on any benefits
until you have paid a majority ofyour own into that same one. You
receive zero services and you cannot doit until you become a Norwegian citizen.
So you can't say that you wanteverything that they want without doing the markers
that they do. Well, there'sno other country around the world that has
the surge the border coming from thecommander in chief, and nobody has an

(29:49):
open border like this, No othercountry allows us. David, I like
the word to use anti human activists. I'll credit you when I think of
it, but I'm going to stealthat word. I like that anti human
activists, that's what they are.And I you know, a drought,
a famine, you know, countriesgo through those things. Imagine I always

(30:10):
say, during a famine, ifwe gave fifty percent of our food to
the animals in Yosemite, you know, like they do with our water during
in a drought, they still gavethem that water. Trump came in with
new science. Republicans got all excitedhere and then news them. No,
they can't be right. Let's goback to the old science. They only
use science when they need it.David, thank you for your time.

(30:32):
You I don't want you to getout of here before you talk about your
new campaign office is going to beopening up out there. Tell everybody who
what, when, whear why?We know why, but tell them the
details. Yeah, we are.We're opening up our campaign office right there
in North Presno, I've got afoosball table. I do not have a
foodsball table, but maybe I needto add one. Will that make sure

(30:52):
that you're there on set? No, actually, don't put that in there,
because the volunteers then wouldn't be working. That would be that would be
too enticing. But continue on.So we're launching our internship program and also
our volunteer program as well for peoplewho want to fight and I'm calling them
again. We don't need any moreCalifornia refugees. We need some California rebels.
And if they want to join thefight, get involved, or even
learn about politics and campaigning, Iwant to show them so they can join

(31:14):
me on Saturday. This Saturday,June fifteenth, at noon. It's at
seven seven ninety five North Palm Avenue. So if they know the GB three
off of Palm and Nie, I'mthe building right across right diagonal. All
right, say that again, slurfor folks, say it again. The
yes, seventy seven ninety five NorthPalm Avenue in at one oh nine,
right across from the GB three offof Palm and Nie. And so we'll

(31:37):
be there. If you got anybodythat wants to be involved internships, if
they're in high school, spind whatthat means. So with this internship,
yeah, we're focused on actually trainingsome of the next generation, whether they're
in high school or they're in college, or they want to get involved in
different campaigns, or if they wantto just get motivated and fight for California.
I don't care which party you're with. I don't care some of your
beliefs on different things you want tocome and you want to ask me questions,

(32:00):
feel free to come by. You'reopen to talk to people. I
am open. I'm thinking about doinga podcast that same day, just in
front of just people asking me questions. Well, what do you want to
do about energy? What do youwant to do about healthcare? What do
you want to do about affordability?What do you want to do about fire
insurance? What do you want todo about all of this? And I
just want to educate people and highlightif you win your election, I hope
you're this open and transparent when youget up there, I'll be here,

(32:22):

So it's David tonguy Paw for Assemblydot com. All right, Thank you
sir, all right, thank you, Good to see you again, David
Tangapa. This is the Trevor CarryShow on the Valley Spower Talk update here

(32:47):
on cheap Baldurama was hearing that hewas going to be officially kind of the
still the chief until Friday, becausehe had a conference that he was going
to be a speaker at at inAtlanta, and then the the paid administrative
leave would go into effect. Thenhe's soposed to speak at the conference called
Flock Forward in Atlanta, Georgia.I guess it was about license plate reading

(33:08):
and how law enforcement uses that technology. But he is now no longer listed
as a speaker on the event's website. Statement issued by the organization confirms that
Chief Baldorama was scheduled to speak,but instead will not be speaking and is
not on site. So I don'tknow if he found that out on his
way there or before he left,or when he got there. I would

(33:30):
think if he was going to speakFriday, he would have been traveling today.
I don't know when this was announced, but looks like the days are
coming to a close here. Itwas announced yesterday that administrative leave. It
was a pretty big statement. Idon't know if they kind of got together
after his little impromptu news conference whenhe was leaving the city council meeting to

(33:51):
go to the restroom, when hegot into it with David Tobb GV wire,
you know, saying, David,you throw the first stone and you
know nobody's perfect. That was ahe looked and seemed and you could understand
why rather rattled, maybe not really, I don't know, in control talking
about how it's hurt his family andhim and the look on his face.

(34:15):
You know, I've seen the manin person. He sat right here across
from me. He was It wasa scared look. It didn't didn't seem
normal. But then again, whywould anything be normal with what's going on
here? So anyhow, he's notgoing to be speaking at that conference.
I guess when the news makes itall the way to England. I'm sure

(34:37):
law enforcement in Atlanta, Georgia hadheard of it. And this is the
this is the thing about it.It's because it was an officer's wife.
That's why it was a story inthe Daily Mail UK. That's why.
That's it's a big difference. Wegot councilmen airis Arius now trying to talk
about it has to do with race. You got white people that get away

(34:58):
with this and so yeah, asthe world turns, soap opera of Fresno,
California. I had Candadate Tonguapa ontalking about UFOs, this claim that
an unidentified advanced population could be livingsecretly on Earth. Who made a claim

(35:20):
like that? Come on, wasthat that? Oh that was on coast
to coast or something at one am? Right, No, this is made
by researchers at Harvard and the MontanaTechnological University. They speculate that UAPs UFOs
could be living underground or even walkingamong humans. They said, I'm laughing,

(35:43):
but hey, it's something man,it's something I think I personally,
me personally, I've watched a lotof people talk about this, that it's
spiritual. There's some spiritual aspect aboutthis manifestation, the Angel of Light anyhow,
that's it's a lot. You cango get your own version of this.

(36:07):
I think would eventually do it'd getthe one World government. Something's going
to come out of that with withwith what's going on here, and that's
why you got Harvard talking about ancientcivilization. Assistant Trevor carry Show on The
