In a last-ditch attempt to head off the End Prop. 47 initiative, the State Senate has approved the so-called “Working Together for a Safer California” package of 15 bills. While some of these measures are positive or at least unobjectionable, none fixes Prop. 47.
Indeed, because Prop. 47 was itself a voter initiative – passed in 2014 through a false advertising campaign labeling it the “Safe Neighborhood and Schools Act” – it can only be undone by an initiative. Fortunately, we should soon get word that the End Prop. 47 initiative has qualified.
Then, in November, voters can restore the consequences needed to get the retail theft and drug crises under control. Combined with the Grants Pass case, where I’ve asked the Supreme Court to allow limits on camping in public, this will also be a turning point for the homelessness crisis.
Meanwhile, I was pleasantly surprised to be the subject of a profile in the New York Times, under the headline: “With his probing questions, this freshman Republican has stood out in the hearings.” This followed our latest hearing exposing the chaos at American universities.
You can watch my 5 minutes questioning the Presidents of UCLA, Northwestern, and Rutgers. There are now renewed calls for resignations, adding to the accountability we’ve brought so far:
- The Presidents of Harvard, Penn, and Sonoma State in California have all resigned.
- UCLA’s Chancellor admitted he should have cleared the encampment on his campus immediately – and then, when a new one subsequently yesterday, he did just that.
- We are now examining every dollar of federal funding to see that it is not supporting universities that have been corrupted.
On the legislative front, we have some good news. The House just passed a bill I sponsored called the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act. This stops the Federal Reserve from issuing a CCP-style Central Bank Digital Currency.
