Podcast appearances and mentions of Carl DeMaio

Today on the Guy Benson Show, Guy sat down with Carl DeMaio, CA State Representative, Assembly District 75, to discuss a shocking story out of the CA General Assembly. The story involves Democrats blocking a bill that would make it a felony to buy sex from a 16 or 17-year-old. The Democrats claim that the issue is because of "injustices" towards minority demographics and members of the LGBT community, and Guy and Carl discuss the absurd nature of this claim from the Democrats. The Democrats originally passed the loophole that would prevent buying sex from a minor a felony years ago, and now continue to use anti-LGBT stereotypes to block the closing of said loophole.

December 13, 2024 The election just ended. The election just started. We often accuse politicians of being short sighted but one thing they definitely plan far in advance is their next political move. We may have heard the first shots in the 2028 mayoral race. The city has a new president of the City Council and the region has a new Republican leader, same as the old one. And the county passed a rule about what the sheriff can and cannot do with immigration enforcement officers and the sheriff said thank you but I run my own show. We get into the meat and potatoes of it all.

Newly elected Assemblyman Carl DeMaio is introducing new legislation called “Punish Unconstitutional Actions Act of 2025”, which penalizes any lawmakers who votes for a law that is later found unconstitutional.

California Republicans are more optimistic than ever after the election of Donald Trump and some significant victories here in the Golden State. Those include the passage of Proposition 36, the defeat of minimum wage and rent control measures, and some key wins in Congressional and legislative races. Among the Republican winners who can't wait to take office and shake things up in Sacramento, Carl Demaio, the former San Diego City Councilman and failed candidate for both Congress and Mayor of San Diego, who has just been elected to the State Assembly from California's 75th District, covering much of San Diego County. He is also the leader of Reform California, and unlike many Republican candidates in the state, he is an unabashed supporter of President-elect Trump. For more, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, along with KCBS insider Doug Sovern, were joined by Assemblymember-elect Carl Demaio. This is The State of California.

Why the San Diego Republican party has had it with Carl DeMaio. Nobody has been more influential than him in the party but resources are now  going to flow to DeMaio's opponent in a closely watched Assembly race. We'll get into the beef.  Also, we've got more details on the allegations of sexual harassment against former San Diego Unified Superintendent Lamont Jackson. New documents reveal the allegations against him from two former high-ranking district officials.  And if you haven't heard, we welcomed a new reporter this month. Jim Hinch is covering South County San Diego. He'll join us later on the show to discuss his latest stories.  All of that and more in this week's episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI has arrived at San Diego high schools in the form of a grading tool called Writable. Some confused school board members aren't exactly sure how. One thing's for sure: AI is rapidly changing the way teachers teach and students learn. Also on the show today, will there ever be a perfect place for homeless shelters? The short answer is no, but the city keeps on trying. Plus, North County reporter Tigist Lane on her latest Carl DeMaio story, and reporter Jakob McWhinney has a new investigation into grades versus test scores.Subscribe to the North County report: vosd.org/northcountySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a big week for things that used to be things. The Republican Party of San Diego County, once a local political juggernaut, lost its chairwoman after an internal battle over Carl DeMaio, who is running for state Assembly against Andrew Hayes. Despite DeMaio's efforts to drag a Democrat to the runoff, he will face Hayes, a fellow Republican. This week, we discuss the endorsement battle that threatened to splinter an already weak political faction — and ultimately led to the emergence of a new party leader.

Poway's City Council is under fire for the possibility of violating the voter's will. Now we have a Poway resignation on the city council. The Drama! Escondido has a serious problem with their parks and budget. Imperial Beach wants to change their election rules. Plus, there's more to the Nathan Fletcher saga. So much happening in San Diego County! It's Thursday May 4, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: Poway Resignation: Councilman Barry Leonard Steps Down In a surprise, Barry Leonard has decided to step down due to “changes in life”. Leonard had been rumored to be a future mayoral candidate. Interestingly, Leonard covers Poway's District 2, which is where The Farm – Life Time Fitness controversy is brewing. How should Leonard be replaced? Appointment or election? Widen Highway 56: Good for commuters, but bad for environment? City leaders finally broke down and agreed to widen a portion of Highway 56. They are upset that the area was not built with mass transit in mind. Will this solve the congestion or just encourage more car use, and thus more pollution? Nathan Fletcher Replacement Election Announced The San Diego County Board of Supervisors announced that Fletcher would not be replaced by an appointment. This will go to an election in August. Right wing activist Carl DeMaio still predicts that Fletcher will recant his resignation. Amy Reichert Running for Fletcher's Seat Can a moderate Republican win a district that is held by a progressive? Reichert will put this tot the test. Reichert wants to address San Diego's high cost of living, homelessness, and public safety. Amy Landers is an Escondido Super Hero The restrooms in Escondido's parks are disgusting. The city claims they don't have the funding to solve the problem. Now Amy Landers is doing deep cleans of these bathrooms on her own, and sharing the results on TikTok. Dane White's Budget Problem in Escondido Escondido is mired in deficits and their city services are suffering. They have tried multiple times to increase the sales tax rate, but the voters say no. What can Escondido do to fix their budget? Perhaps they need to ask themselves hard questions about the fundamental role of local government. Fast Charging an EV in 5 minutes?
