How many times, Lake and Riley, the list goes on and on, how many times are we gonna hear about a legal, tax-paying American citizen getting raped, beaten, robbed, or murdered by an illegal criminal alien and the damn Democrats have done nothing about it or they had him in their custody and they let him go? Bill, I'm sick of this.
23:44
Yeah.
23:45
The Democrats are never going to get to a point where they would be shamed by their actions, no matter how many bodies are left in the wake, how many raped children are left in the wake.
23:55
I'll give you a perfect example.
23:58
We recently sued the state of California over sanctuary state policies, and that is making its way through the court system.
24:04
I anticipate it to go to the Supreme Court within a couple of years.
24:09
But one of the things that really pushed us over the edge was we got word that there were 50 sex trafficked children in our jurisdiction.
26:38
Shouldn't I be able to pick which damn tires I buy for my car?
15:00
McFarlane.
15:01
Yeah, he was...
15:03
He was an American arranger, composer during the 60s and he made a few, maybe he worked with you know like Bill Evans and you know wrote various things but he was he did some albums which were almost like music or something you know they were they were they were versions of beach boy songs and things like that and they were he didn't change them as much as some you know very often jazz like really complicated harmonies and everything like he kept things pretty simple but it was a very kind of subtle uh kind of voice that he added to these i i thought and i i like the fact that he he he kind of respected pop music enough to not feel that he wanted to make it really complicated

12 MINS LATER

27:46
Oh, you know the name, yeah.
27:47
Yeah, yeah.
27:48
Well, he was part of that.
27:49
And he's actually one of my kind of total heroes as well, so... um so i was really keen to be involved and uh yeah i was basically they used free improv as a kind of uh to sort of level the kind of playground sort of thing and uh i was i wasn't sure what to do um for a commission for this but i didn't want to be anything too written or but so I was kind of really struggling with coming up with anything but then I thought I'll just for a month I'll think about it and I'll write down my dreams for a month and that's what I did and bizarrely they you know a lot of them were instrumental so I made a a sort of demo CD of it kind of thing, just sort of 12 tracks and each about a minute long.
28:54
And there was one or two little songs in there and there was things like People There Behind Me, People There Behind Me, you know, things that did sort of relate to that subject, I thought, and there was one called Doesn't Play.
19:22
My bad.
19:24
I'm looking at all these beautiful houses and this kind of neighborhood that you get in Rancho Santa Fe.
19:32
And imagine, because they have a bus stop, You can tell the folks at Rancho Santa Fe they have to build an eight-story building, kind of a tenement housing building.
19:44
And there doesn't have to be any parking whatsoever.
19:48
So, you know, you say, well, that's just dumb.
19:53
Well, I don't really buy that they're naive or they're stupid.
19:57
I think this is a way to do a couple of things.

5 MINS LATER

25:10
So, so what do you plan as mayor of El Cajon to do to try to mitigate the damage from SB 79?
3:57
Are they going to do this partnership? Are they going to spend the money?
4:01
Well, first off, you have to realize that this is not completely brand new.
4:05
For three years now, they've been spending $5 million a year on a similar kind of program.
4:11
They're just expanding it.
4:12
So they're voting to expand it now to bring in the country of Mexico, work with the consulate there so they can spend more money and funnel it through our public defender's office so that we can really help more people.
4:29
And then They can help more people stay in the country illegally, but here's the most galling part of this.
4:35
Part of the reason they're doing this is because they're trying to expunge the records of these people so that later on, when the federal authorities might catch one of these people, they won't be able to see that they had committed a crime.
6:42
No illegal immigrant has the constitutional right to an attorney, right?
34:18
I was kind of setting up the segment that the state keeps throwing money and more money and more money at homelessness, but it never gets any better.
34:29
No, you know, conservative estimates are that we spent about $24 billion on homelessness.
34:36
My research really tells me it's been more around $40 billion.
34:40
And this is for something that really gets worse and worse every year.
34:43
You know, we've got a lot more housing, but we've got about 37% more people on the streets.
34:49
know california has 188 000 homeless people and that's by design california set it up this way because they've encouraged homelessness because frankly i used to think it was stupidity or just not understanding the problem but i've come to believe that it's really about the money there's just so much money and it's a great business model
35:07
it is a great business model okay so when you started asking about the money yeah what did they tell you
35:13
Well, nothing.
9:38
And it looks like you've also discovered that as well.
9:43
Yeah, well, I think you're exactly right.
9:46
I've dealt with this in my own town.
9:47
We had our own protests after Ferguson, Missouri.
9:51
And we noticed that our police said none of the people on the streets were people that they knew or people from the, uh, identified as being from the San Diego area.
9:59
They all came from Chicago and Los Angeles and New York.
10:02
And then later, uh, I've recently had anti-ice protesters that show up every week at my, at my council meetings and scream Nazi at us, but we don't know them.
11:28
These people are endangering your community.
