WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>The beginning of July each year marks the point when

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>new laws take effect and coming up, I'll tell you

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 1>some of the worst new California laws that are kicking

4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>in and how they may impact you. Plus there's actually

5
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>one good law taking effect that I voted for. It

6
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>regulates the volume of ads on programs like this coming

7
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>up complete coverage of the new laws taking effect this

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>July in California. The good, the bad, and of course

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the ugly. Those are the bad laws. There's a lot

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>of bad laws that you know, I'm not going to

11
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 1>go into detail on, but those are the ones I

12
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>think that might impact you or your children. The most

13
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>one good law that will probably impact all of you,

14
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>particularly if you're watching this on YouTube. I'm Carl Tomio,

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>chairman of Reform California and a California state representative, and

16
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>as a representative, I vote no more than any other

17
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 1>legislator serving in Sacramento. About thirty six percent of the time.

18
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm hitting the no button. And if you read some

19
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 1>of the laws, you'd understand why they are bat blank crazy,

20
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>complete overreach regulating our lives, adding mandates and costs, completely unnecessary.

21
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I would love to force the legislature to eliminate five

22
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>laws for every new law they want to try to

23
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 1>impose on us. That would be actually quite healthy to

24
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>do that for a couple of years. But the laws

25
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>take effect in two periods of the year, the January

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>first laws. Most laws take effect January first, but a

27
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>bunch of laws actually take effect July first. So we

28
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>always do a snapshot of the good, the bad, and

29
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the ugly laws taking effects that you know what you

30
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>have to comply with. And if you don't like all

31
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>these laws, well then I'm going to encourage you not

32
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>just to get your blood pressure up and complain about them,

33
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 1>get in the fight. Let's restore some sanity in Sacramento.

34
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 1>A lot of these laws could actually be stopped if

35
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>we broke the Democrats supermajority. We only need seven seats

36
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in the state legislature to do that. And so before

37
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>I get into the good, the bad, and the ugly

38
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>on the new laws in July, please go to the

39
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>website Reform California dot org. Reform California dot org. That

40
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>is ground zero on our campaign to elect good legislators

41
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and break the supermajority. Plus, remember we have a bunch

42
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>of statewide ballot measure fights that we're leading on, including

43
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes on Prop thirty nine, the Voter ID initiative, and

44
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes on Prop forty three, the Save Prop thirteen initiative

45
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to stop tax hikes in California. So go to that

46
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>website learn more, and if you can, please sign up

55
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 1>tethered into our growing movement statewide to take back California

56
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 1>from insanity. Like the laws that I'm about to go through.

57
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>So let me start out with the bad laws and

58
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>then I'll get to the one good one. That's right,

59
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 1>we're looking at a ten to one ratio on bad

60
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to good, and I'm only picking out the worst of

61
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the worst laws. The first thing I want to point

62
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 1>out is your gas tax is going up July first,

63
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>an automatic gas tax increase goes into effect. Sixty three

64
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>point four cents is what you'll be paying for just

65
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the state excise tax. When you add up all of

66
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the state mandates and taxes that they add to each

67
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 1>gallon of gas, you're talking about like a buck sixty

68
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>per gallon a buck sixty. It's insane. And that's why

69
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 1>we have gas prices nearly two dollars higher than the

70
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>national average out here. All the mandates, all the regulations,

71
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>all the taxes. A buck sixty and sixty three point

72
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>four percent of that or sixty three point four CeNSE

73
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>of that is in the form of a direct excise

74
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>tax applied to every gallon of gas. Democrats refuse to

75
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>give you a relief at the pump, and yet they're

76
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>saying Donald Trump is responsible for all the bad gas prices. Seriously,

77
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>California politicians need to explain why we're paying two dollars

78
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 1>more per gallon of gas. That's all on them. Next

79
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>thing is the state budget that takes effect July first,

80
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 1>and it is bad. It's not balanced. It's got twenty

81
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars plus in deficit spending. Rating our reserves, kicking

82
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the can down the road, giving pension spikes and valery

83
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 1>hikes to state government employees, adding a whole bunch of

84
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>new employees, giving illegal immigrants thirteen billion dollars of free healthcare,

85
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 1>while cutting subsidies for your mediast of Californians on their

86
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>healthcare coverage on covered California. They're also applying a four

87
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty five dollars per family of four health

88
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 1>care insurance tax on top of that. So the illegals

89
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>get freebies and the rest of us get cuts and

90
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>services and higher cost of living. Yep, rinse, and repeat.

91
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>That's the Democrat way, serving people who shouldn't be here,

92
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 1>who broke the law, who want the handouts, and sticking

93
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it to people who are trying to play by the

94
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>rules and are struggling. Yep. The state budget also applies

95
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 1>a new software tax, a payroll tax, a variety of

96
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 1>other tax increases. We're talking billions of dollars in tax increases,

97
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 1>and yet it's the most revenue we've ever collected, and

98
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 1>it's the most spending we've ever engaged in. Spending under

99
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>this budget represents a seventy six percent increase since Governor

100
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Gaven Newsom came into office. Adjusted for inflation, that's a

101
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>forty percent growth in the size of government. That's a

102
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>forty percent net total growth. If you adjust for the

103
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>inflation since twenty eighteen, we're still forty percent bigger as

104
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 1>a state government. Do you feel forty percent more services

105
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.759
<v Speaker 1>are coming to you? Of course not. We're actually getting

106
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 1>less and spending more and paying more. In terms of

107
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>other new laws SB. Seventy nine, this is really bad.

108
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>You want a condo tower next to your home SB.

109
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Seventy nine and bring one of those. It basically allows

110
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>rich developers who give campaign contributions to these state legislators,

111
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to buy a single family unit and tear it down,

112
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>tear it down the house, and build a five to

113
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 1>nine story high affordable housing complex. All they have to

114
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 1>do is show that it's within a half a mile

115
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>of a transit stop, which is a bus stop, and

116
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 1>nothing can be done by your local city council or

117
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 1>accounting board to stop them. They basically override local control

118
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>on all housing, so these condo towers will start going

119
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>up in residential communities for single family homes. This is insane.

120
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a giveaway to the rich developers who backed these politicians.

121
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 1>It'll destroy the character of many neighborhoods. Another thing that

122
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 1>happens July. First, government employees boo who who? They have

123
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to return to office? Oh? I know, it's been what

124
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.879
<v Speaker 1>six years since the original state order was put into

125
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>effect by Governor Newsom telling state and local government employees

126
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have to show up to the city hall

127
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>or to the state government agency. They could work from

128
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>home because we have a contagious disease floating around. That

129
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>was six years ago. And now Newsom finally, because he's

130
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>been shamed with all sorts of bad coverage, finally you

131
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>saying okay, state government workers, you have to come into

132
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>work as of July first. Of course, they're not happy

133
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 1>about it. They did a protest at the state capitol

134
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 1>last week. Boohoo who, Well, welcome to the real world,

135
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>show up to work. AB three thirty two nineteen basically

136
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>requires that schools have to limit or ban cell phone

137
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>usage by students, including requiring that all the cell phones

138
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>be locked up. So each school, district and school, even

139
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>charter schools, will have to enact a clear policy with

140
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the goal of limiting or banning cell phone usage amongst students.

141
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

142
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Rual bathrooms are now going to be required of every

143
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 1>school district, in every school, including charter schools, at a

144
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 1>very high expense. For some of these schools, this is insane,

145
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>all right. Minimum wage up to sixteen dollars and ninety cents. Oh,

146
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>but for many cities it's much higher than that, like

147
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>La San Diego. San Francisco might have much higher local

148
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 1>minimum wage increases that kick into effect every July first.

149
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Plus there are industry specific minimum wages that just went up.

150
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Hospitals twenty five dollars, dialysis clinics twenty five dollars, any

151
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.159
<v Speaker 1>healthcare that's going to make our healthcare more expensive. The

152
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>plastic bag ban goes into effect at all grocery stores.

153
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>You're not even able to buy one anymore. Sorry, of course,

154
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 1>don't expect that to help the environment. The last bag

155
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>band did not help the environment, but it did line

156
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the pockets of grocers in the grocer's union, increasing your

157
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.879
<v Speaker 1>cost and reducing your commit While you're at that store

158
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>not able to get a plastic bag, you'll notice that

159
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 1>products will start having different cell by dates. In fact,

160
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 1>sell by dates are going to be banned in California. Now.

161
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 1>They have to put in either used by or best

162
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>if used by. Best if used by is if the

163
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>product would taste the best by a certain date, but

164
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.559
<v Speaker 1>you can still eat it thereafter. It's not dangerous. Used

165
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>by is basically a public health risk. You know, if

166
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you eat this after the use by date, you're probably

167
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:35.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a problem. Maybe there is a assault on

168
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 1>the Second Amendment. ABE eleven twenty seven is a ban

169
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>on all glock guns. This is unconstitutional. Even the Trump

170
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>DOJ has filed a lawsuit along with Second Amendment organizations

171
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to overturn it. It will get overturned. I guarantee it.

172
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Those are the bad laws. There's a lot of bad

173
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>laws that you know, I'm not going to go into

174
00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>detail on, but those are the ones I think that

175
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.039
<v Speaker 1>might impact you or your children. The most one good

176
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>law that will probably impact all of you, particularly if

177
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>you're watching this on YouTube. And this is a bill

178
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I actually voted for. SB five seven six deals with

179
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 1>a real annoying practice by some of these social media

180
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>companies and streaming services where you're watching a show or

181
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a video and then there's an ad that pops up,

182
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>but the volume on the AD is substantially higher, So

183
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.759
<v Speaker 1>then you've got to go fumble and get your remote

184
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and turn it down. Then after the AD is over,

185
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you go back to the show and you can't hear it,

186
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 1>so you get to turn it back up enough. Stop

187
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>pumping up the damn volume on your damn ads. So annoying. Again,

188
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I am not for government regulation, but when an industry

189
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>treats their consumers poorly, yeah, there are some things that

190
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I would absolutely and entertain, like a passenger's bill of

191
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>rights for airlines. There needs to be certain decency standards

192
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 1>if these streaming services and add platforms refuse to treat

193
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>their viewers and their customers properly. So those are all

194
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the new laws. Again, a lot of these are bad laws.

195
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>There's not a whole lot of good to share with you,

196
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>but you can change that. It all boils down to

197
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the caliber the type of legislators that we put into office,

198
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and at Reform California, we're leading the fight to put

199
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>better people in office. So go to the website Reform
