1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>As America celebrates two hundred and fifty years of independence

2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>this July fourth weekend, California politicians have decided to shun patriotism,

3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 1>banning flags and worse, holding Independence Day commemorations that marginalize Americans.

4
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Coming up, We've got two examples of just how low

5
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>they've gone. This is not America, this is divisiveness. Somehow,

6
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July has become about the alphabet soup woke

7
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 1>identity politics. I'm Carl Demio, chairman of Reformed California and

8
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a California State representative, and I hope you are having

9
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 1>a marvelous weekend celebrating freedom and celebrating everything good about

10
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>America this July fourth weekend. Unfortunately, many Californians, and particularly

11
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>our liberal politicians, hate America, and they're showing that once

12
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>again through the policies and activities that they're engaging in

13
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. I've got two examples, and both of them

14
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>come from San Diego County, the county I represent in

15
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the California State Assembly. Let me tell you about San Diego.

16
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>We used to be known as a very patriotic county.

17
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>We've got many military bases and veterans who live in

18
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>our county. You've got Camp Pendleton in the north to

19
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>the naval stations in our Naval Bay. We absolutely are

20
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>associated with the military and patriotism in San Diego County.

21
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>But in San Diego County we are seeing an appalling

22
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 1>attack on patriotism this July fourth weekend. One of the

23
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>attacks comes in the form of the karens on A

24
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Homeowners Association in San Marcos, which is a city in

25
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 1>San Diego County, and the other attack. Wait till I

26
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>share with you the agenda for the July fourth Independence

27
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Day celebration that the County of San Diego is hosting.

28
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>It's appalling. Let's first talk about this homeowners association. Everyone

29
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>has problems with their HOA because the people who run

30
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>for an HOA board. Again, I'm painting in a broad brush.

31
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there are some HOA board members, and yes

32
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 1>they are volunteers, and they, I'm sure or on some

33
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>levels well intended and do good work. But some of

34
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the hoas are completely bat blank crazy, filled with leftists

35
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>who want to tell everyone how to live their lives,

36
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 1>what they can do with their property, and they take

37
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it to an extreme. That's exactly what's going on in

38
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>San Marcos with a homeowner's association threatening residents who are

39
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>simply flying the American flag. This weekend, Fox News HOA

40
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>threatens American flag flying homeowners as they fight for old

41
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>glory before the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. And

42
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>this is all happening at an HA called the Ambience

43
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Owners Association, that's the HA. They sent out letters to

44
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>several residents threatening to find them for having a flag

45
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>on their home. Now, here's a picture and where the

46
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>flag is positioned. It is a flag that's on a

47
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>pole extending above a garage in this person's home. And

48
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 1>as I saw this photo and I did an interview

49
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 1>with Fox News in the California Post on this matter,

50
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I said, I can tell you right now that flag

51
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 1>is actually protected under state law. Under California state law,

52
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 1>we passed a loss several years ago when this originally

53
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 1>started coming up, saying hoa's are not allowed to restrict

54
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>freedom of speech banners as long as they are not

55
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>larger than a certain size. You can have size restrictions.

56
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, that flag is within the size limitation,

57
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>so you can't have like a fifty foot banner on

58
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>your property. But you can have a flag or a

59
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 1>banner within a certain size limitation, and that one certainly

60
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>fits the California state law. The second thing is the

61
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>HOA could prohibit you from placing a flag or a

62
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 1>banner or a political sign in common areas. Now, the

63
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>HOA says that because someone can see the flag, it's

64
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>a common area. BS, go get yourself a lawyer. HOA,

65
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't know what you're talking about. State law defines

66
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>common areas as the common area owned and maintained by

67
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the HOA, and so that would be, for example, maybe

68
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 1>a park or a slope that's maintained for the common

69
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>enjoyment or common use. That flag is on the actual

70
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>house of this couple that got this threatening letter with

71
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 1>the threat of fines if they continue to fly their flag.

72
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So this HOA is completely not complying with state law.

73
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 1>And so a meeting was held this week where the

74
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Homeowners Association said that they are being attacked with random,

75
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>anonymous texts and they say that they're being docked, and

76
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>they decided not to even discuss the flag issue this weekend.

77
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>So this is hanging over the heads of these homeowners

78
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>because the HIA is refusing to back down. Instead, they

79
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>say we're going to look at this in sixty days. Meanwhile,

80
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>potentially these homeowners, if they want to celebrate the Fourth

81
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of July, are racking up fines because the HIA decided

82
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to punt on the issue. Here's another picture of the

83
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 1>of the home. Again, this is the unit owned by

84
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>this couple and the this is the flag extending from

85
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>their individual unit. They have every right to do this.

86
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>If there was a common area somewhere else in the development,

87
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>then there may be an issue. There would be an issue.

88
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 1>The ha could say you're not allowed to do that

89
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>because everyone should be able to enjoy this seating area.

90
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But someone cannot jump on this person's home and say, well,

91
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>this is a common area, I'm sitting here. No, that's

92
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>their property, that's their structure, and this flag is affixed

93
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 1>to the structure. So it's happening in San Diego County.

94
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>But the hell's wrong with these HAA members. The second

95
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>example I want to give you from San Diego again,

96
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>patriotic county, lots of military bases, comes in the form

97
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of the County of San Diego government official Fourth of

98
00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>July program Bill Wells Mayor of Alcohol rightfully calls them out.

99
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Here is the agenda from three to five forty five

100
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a setup in soundcheck five to six o'clock media

101
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>statements by the elected officials five to six guest of

102
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>rival networking five forty five, Tribal intimate blessing, Welcoming to Land,

103

<v Speaker 1>six o'clock Welcoming and Land acknowledgement, Board of Supervisors six ten,

104
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Tribal invocation six twenty National and Black National Anthem six

105
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty five local tribal community stories seven o'clock, Latino community

106
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Stories seven twenty five Asian American, Hawaiian American Pacific Islander

107
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 1>community Stories. Seven to fifty LGBTQYA, NBCCZBS community Stories, A

108
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty five Black and African community stories eight fifty closing remarks,

109
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>at least they've got nine oh five fireworks. Notice anything

110
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 1>missing there? Why don't know? Maybe an American story, maybe

111
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, patriotism discussions or testimonials. This is not America.

112
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 1>This is divisiveness. Somehow, Fourth of July has become about

113
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 1>the alphabet soup, woke, identity, politics, everything that divides us,

114
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 1>rather than points out how we're different versus everything that

115
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>should unite us, because while there's a lot of adjectives

116
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.399
<v Speaker 1>that could describe all of us demonstrating differences, the great

117
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>unifying adjective is that we're all Americans. But that's what

118
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the Bord of Supervisors in Sandy Ago County neglects to

119
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 1>focus on. This is appalling again. I'm not saying that

120
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>these groups aren't important. I don't want to be disrespectful.

121
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I wish them well. But Fourth of July is not

122
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>about the differences. It's about America, the unifying concepts, the

123
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>concepts of freedom and patriotism. But not in San Diego anymore,

124
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>not in our military county. Shame on the board of

125
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 1>supervisors that was taken over by Democrats a few years ago.

126
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And this is a crap that were offered again. I

127
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>guess I could celebrate the fact that we still get

128
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>fireworks because liberals don't like fireworks. Climate change in all

129
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>amidst carbon in the atmosphere. On this fourth of July,

130
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I encourage all of us in California to celebrate America,

131
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but to take back our state, take back every single

132
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 1>one of our counties, take back our hoas from these

133
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>insane liberals. It's time to have common sense, So go

134
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 1>to the website Reform California dot org because that's the

135
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>only fight in town. Not like we have a California

136
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Republican party that's actually doing any good work. We've got

137
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to do this on our own, and so I urge

138
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you this fourth of July, celebrate freedom, acknowledge our patriotism,

139
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>value this great country, and commit to making sure that

140
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 1>California gets back in line with celebrating our country as well.

141
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Go to Reform California dot org to join the fight.

142
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Until next time, I'm Carl Tomio, chairman of Reform California

143
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>and a California state representative. Thanks for watching and I
