Don Wagner on the failings of the California Secretary of State's Office

When you really need care, you need 24-7 access to a care team,

not a maze of paperwork from a third party.

Every day, America's hospitals and health systems show up for you.

Navigating healthcare can fuel overwhelming,

but you can count on real doctors, real nurses, real people,

providing quality around the clock care when you need it most.

They're in your corner.

In communities across America,

your neighbors, your lifelines,

right beside you holding your hand and helping financiers.

That's what putting patients first actually means.

And we continue at 205 in the afternoon on the John Phillips show.

Mr. Randy Wings in Culver City.

Well, here's a strange one.

Lorraine Gonzales announced that the California federation of labor

made a quad endorsement in the governor's race.

They're not endorsing a single candidate.

They are endorsing Steyer,

Swalwell,

Virugosa,

and Porter for governor.

I'm pulling in to the bakery.

It's my understanding that Katie Hill only endorsed three of them.

A thrupple of sorts.

According to Lorraine,

the only way to get the two thirds required support

was to endorse all four candidates,

which means the endorsement doesn't mean a damn thing,

except a Javier Bicera who got knocked out.

Yeah, what happened to him?

Um,

unions don't like him as much as it like Tony V.

If Lorraine is going to play Oprah and say you get an endorsement

and you get an endorsement and you get an endorsement, but not you.

They also did a dual endorsement for treasurer to Fiona Ma and a Alaney,

cannellakis.

Wait, Fiona Ma is running for Lieutenant governor, isn't she?

Oh, maybe I got the, you know what?

I read that wrong.

You're correct.

They endorsed her, but they endorsed two people for treasurer too.

Okay.

800-222-5222 is a telephone number 1-800-222-5222.

It is our pleasure to welcome our next guest to the program.

He is a supervisor in Orange County representing the third district.

He's also a candidate for California's secretariat state.

That is the office that runs the elections in California and also provides the business licenses

to businesses here in the Golden State.

You can get them online at WagnerforCalifornia.com and follow him on exit Don Wagner CA,

supervisor Don Wagner.

Welcome.

John, it is a pleasure to be here and I'll get this up front.

I know Lorraine, I served with her in the legislature.

I'm probably not getting her endorsement for secretariat state.

Just want to put that out there.

Okay, well now the drama is settled.

Now we know.

All right, so not long ago CBS News did an investigative report on a bunch of fraudulent

businesses in the state of California who are mostly located actually at Randy's neighborhood

in the San Fernando Valley on one street.

But a lot of these businesses, they have licenses.

They are legal businesses here in California and they accept all kinds of government money.

They tell the state, they tell the feds, they tell whomever they're getting their money from,

that they're doing certain things.

Yet when CBS News went down there to check on them to find out if that's in fact what they're

actually doing, in many cases it looked like overt fraud.

CBS News then went to the California Secretary of State's office, Shirley Weber, the incumbent.

And they asked them, hey, you gave all of these businesses licenses, it looks like they're not

doing what they said they were doing and there's large amounts of fraud going on.

The California Secretary of State's office said two things.

One is, we're not going to talk to you on camera and the second thing is,

it's not our job to vet any of the paperwork that comes in front of us.

So go talk to someone else.

What do you make of that?

Well, it's typical for the Secretary of State's office has been run for the last several years.

I mean, we see this in business filings, we know there is fraud out there.

We see it in how they handle the elections.

We know that there's fraud out there.

The Secretary of State's office, under Shirley Weber, put somewhere between 50 and 80 million

dollars into their computer system and it simply doesn't work for things like disclosure of

campaign finance reports.

I mean, you go online and it's siphoned down.

You can't find out who is donating to who.

It's simply par for the course.

You sort of like the bullet train of California government.

We keep shoveling money there, but we don't seem to be getting any responses.

It's a dodge to say, oh, we have fraud programs protections in place,

which they did say in the CBS article.

They won't tell you what they are.

And they don't seem to be working very well.

It's just, it's, but it's par for the course out of the Secretary of State's office.

They have all the records.

They can do, it isn't hard to run a computer search and do some double checking.

They'll tell you well, we do everything state law requires us to do.

Okay, but they don't do everything they can to protect us.

And that's just wrong.

They can do a lot more.

They won't.

It seems like that office has the opportunity to really be a watchdog for taxpayers.

Because if you're looking at our budget right now in Sacramento and you served in a legislature,

so I'm sure you know this a lot better than I do.

But the state right now is broke.

And we're looking under the couch cushions for money to pay our bills and make sure we can keep moving.

And the ways fraud and abuse that exists in this state has to dwarf anything going on in Minnesota,

which we're all now familiar with.

And if Sacramento got with the program and decided, okay, we're going to prioritize this.

We're going to make sure that if you lie on the form, if you are committing an act of fraud,

if you're stealing money from taxpayers, we're going to have the mechanisms to come down on you

like a ton of bricks.

Because you're not stealing from the quote unquote government.

You're stealing from the people of California.

And that money could be going to make sure our 911 system works.

It could be going to make sure that, oh, I don't know.

Public safety is funded, so we don't burn to the ground every few years.

Or the police departments are funded.

Those sorts of things.

Why do you think that hasn't happened?

There's a lot of things that they could be spending that money on if they would,

if they would root it out.

And it isn't hard to find.

I mean, look, CBS found it.

And if they can do it, certainly the state government can.

It won't, but it again, it's part of the course.

I mean, we saw it during COVID.

Well, it was something like $50 billion in EDD,

the employment development department funds were misappropriated.

It dwarfs what happened in Minnesota.

And it's easy picking.

You know, look, we're in the state that should have the most robust technology on the planet.

We've got Silicon Valley.

I'm sure that Sacramento's heard of it.

They have no problem going there for money when they want to run their campaigns.

How about going there for some help in getting the most recent technology

and using it not to do big brother stuff and keep a watch on us

and make sure that we're doing things like wearing our masks during COVID

or whatever it happens to be today.

Let's use it to root out the fraud.

So that the money is available to fix our homeless problem.

It's available to fix our public safety challenges.

It's available for all the other things that we rightly look to state government to do.

Do you think it's that they're not looking for it

or do you think it's that they don't want to know the answer?

And I say that because, you know, if they want to be able to figure out who's lying,

it doesn't seem like it would be that hard

because CBS doesn't have the resources to really conduct a thorough investigative report

to the extent that people assume that a network would have.

My guess is what happened is someone in that office

was aware of what was going on went to her and said,

hey, look at this and they were told to look the other way

and some frustrated employee went to the news.

That's exactly what happened in Minnesota.

That is speculation and I think you were probably spot on

because there's almost no other answer for it.

You know, do they do they want to find it?

Well, you know, if they do want to find it,

they're particularly enact.

If they don't want to find it, you have to ask yourself why

and are some of these companies now contributing

because, you know, unlike with the federal government,

you know, congressional candidates can't take corporate money

but candidates, democratic party candidates in the state of California

can take corporate money.

So is that part of the shell game that's going on?

The questions need to be asked because at this point,

we've got such a problem that it's hard to give them the benefit

of the doubt that they can't find it.

It's how hard are they really looking?

You know, the Secretary of State's office is running

an outdated computer system that I'm told was implemented back

in the 90s by Bill Jones and Republican Secretary of State.

They're still on the same platform.

Folks, the technology has moved so far beyond that.

You know, I got to tell you, John,

I mean, the fraud issue really does get home with me.

My, one of my daughters is a deputy DA

prosecuting real estate fraud.

We know that fraud is out there.

My other daughter is with a bank going after international fraud.

We know that the number one that it's out there

and number two, there are technological tools

finding it and rooted out and fix it that they haven't just leaves you

scratching your head into the point where it's really,

really hard to get them the benefit of the doubt.

Why do you think she won't make herself available to the public?

Because that CBS news article went all over the place.

It was the national CBS correspondent that broke that story.

Nick Shirley is here in California right now

in the San Fernando Valley.

He's exposing hospice care fraud.

We know that this is going on all around us.

We know that it's costing us billions of dollars.

We know that the state is failing to protect taxpayers

from this fraud and from these crimes.

And she will not answer basic questions.

Why won't she?

I would be speculating that I've got to believe number one,

the answer is don't help her.

And you know, number two, she's been on that job for a while

and the word I get is she's sort of retired on the job.

She may not even know the answers.

And so, you know, in the course of an election campaign,

maybe the best thing to do is say nothing

and not stick your foot in your mouth and hope that the problem goes away

or at least is swept under the rug until your pass to the election.

I don't intend to let her have that free pass.

And nobody in California who is paying for this

should let that free pass happen.

We're speaking with Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner

who's also a candidate for California's Secretary of State.

You can get them online at Wagner4California.com.

Another hot subject that deals with the Secretary of State's office

is whether or not photo ID will be required to vote.

We know that there's an initiative that where the backers of that initiative

believe that they have collected enough signatures

to qualify that initiative for the ballot.

So that California voters will be able to decide

as to whether or not you need a picture ID,

government ID to vote in the state.

I want to go over some numbers with you

that were released from the Pew Research Center.

They found that 83% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote,

including get this 76% of Black Americans.

The Democratic Party says that they're opposed to it

because it's racist and it would exclude certain races and ethnicities

from being able to participate in democracy.

We obviously know that's not true.

This poll, this Pew poll says that 76% of Black voters

support picture ID, photo ID.

Right, and we have 36 states, I believe, at last count,

do some sort of voter ID and it is simply false to say

that those states are disenfranchising blacks or any population.

It's infantilizing the black population.

They say, oh, they can't go out and get IDs.

Does that mean they can't fly?

Does that mean they can't go on by alcohol or tobacco?

Does that mean they can't go to a bar or a restaurant

and order a bottle of wine?

It's a silly argument, but it's really their fallback.

It's their go-to.

If you look at Shirley's website, which I suggest nobody do,

the very first thing she says there under media,

I think she's most proud of and wants to highlight is

her absolute opposition to voter ID.

Well, look, if we don't have a problem with our elections,

if we don't have fraud in our elections, what is the problem?

There isn't one, there isn't a serious one.

It's an issue that it polls as you say.

76% with black Americans, it polls overwhelmingly just

across the board of Republicans, Democrats,

Independents alike in California.

Why in the world would our Secretary of State do two things?

Number one, fight so hard to oppose an item that is supported

by an overwhelming majority.

Do not get 70 plus percent in California just with Republicans.

Why do that?

And what are you afraid of?

I'll tell you, I wouldn't mind going back to the days

when you're used to have to request an absentee ballot each and every time

that you voted as opposed to being on a permanent absentee status,

because when I bought my house, the person who lived there before me

was a registered voter, and I received that individual's ballot

for the 10 years that I own that house.

When I lived in an apartment building in Los Angeles County,

there would be a stack of ballots on top of the mailbox

every single election cycle, a stack of them.

I don't know how many a bunch of them.

And then one day before the election, they would just all disappear.

Now, I throw that ballot out whenever I get it in the mail because I'm an ethical person

and filling it out and sending it in would be illegal.

But not everyone is.

Should we go back to the old days when you had to request an absentee ballot

as opposed to having it sent to you automatically,

regardless of whether or not you've moved or died or whatever?

Absolutely, we should go back to that because we are a wash in ballots,

and you're telling stories that I tell out on the campaign trip.

And it hits Republicans and Democrats, and independent alike,

it doesn't matter your party.

You're going to have to throw out the ballot of the person

you bought the house from or the last two or three

renters of your apartment before you can get to your ballot and cast your ballot.

So we are a wash in ballots, and if nothing else,

that gives people, again, across the political spectrum,

a serious and justifiable lap of confidence in our elections.

I want everybody who's entitled to vote to vote,

but I want nobody who's not entitled in the ballot box at all.

You've got to be certain that the person who takes that oath of office

after being declared the winner is in fact the winner,

or this experiment and democracy comes crumbling down.

Self-government doesn't matter anymore,

and it is confusing to me why the other side isn't there,

because an overwhelming number of the public is absolutely there

and distrustful of our election system.

It needs to be fixed getting rid of those mail-in ballots.

Remember, that was a COVID thing.

COVID thankfully is behind us getting rid of those mail-in ballots,

and let's go back to the way it used to be.

I mean, I remember when I was a kid, I was interested in politics.

I'd ask my folks, can I stay up late to watch the election results?

Well, that's just a joke nowadays in California,

because we take 30 days to count our ballots.

It's wrong, and it doesn't need to be that way,

and it leads to serious mistrust of our election system.

That's so true. I remember, you're talking about the old days,

remember the contest between Michael Huffington and Diane Feinstein

for U.S. Senate in 94.

It was when the Republicans had a very good year,

the contract with America year,

and that race was too close to call going to bed.

I remember staying up until two, three in the morning,

watching the updates coming in.

You legitimately didn't know who was going to win that Senate seat

because it was so close.

And then the next day, you woke up, and in the morning,

we found out, okay, Feinstein won Huffington loses.

She's going to be the U.S. Senator for California.

And I remember at the time thinking, wow, that took forever.

But I guess it's so close, so I guess we'll give them an extra day.

I live in Riverside County.

My member of the legislature and the assembly,

who represents me, is a guy by the name of Greg Wallace.

When he first ran for the legislature,

it took over a month to figure out that he won the election.

And the Democrats let the person who lost the election

go up to Sacramento and participate in caucus meetings.

She even took over the phone system.

So if you called the office for the old member

who was no longer part of the legislature,

it was her on the greeting welcoming you to her office.

And because it took them forever to count those votes,

the person who was elected to represent this district

didn't get to go to the orientation.

They didn't get on the plum committees.

They didn't get first by it at the good staff members.

He just had to take whatever was left over.

How is that democracy or how is that allowing this district

to be represented in a fair and equal way?

I don't see how that works.

It's terribly unfair and it doesn't serve the people

that Greg was elected to represent.

It doesn't serve them well.

He's doing a great job up there now.

But yes, it took him a lot longer to find his sea legs,

simply because they can't count the ballots on time.

Or couldn't find enough.

Let's just say find enough ballots to defeat him.

And it's wrong and you see it in so many elections nowadays.

I mean, we have a congressional race here in Orange County.

Michelle Steele was winning by a lot.

Was winning by a little bit less.

A little bit less than we just watched her victory bleed away

until the last day when they said, okay, we're done counting.

And Michelle was out.

That's no way to run an election system.

It is absolutely unnecessary.

It's not the way other big states do it.

And so we know we can do better.

But it requires the will of the Secretary of State

and the leaders of the Democratic Party

to fix our elections.

And right now they don't have that will witness their efforts

to deny us voter ID.

Every day excessive delays and denials from big insurers

keep patients from accessing the care they need.

And when care is urgent, these delays can be disastrous.

These practices cost billions in wasteful spending,

driving up costs for American families.

But while big insurers put up barriers,

America's hospitals and health systems are in your corner,

navigating endless reviews and appeals

to get you the care you need when you need it most.

It's time to curb these harmful practices

and put the focus back on patients.

And Randy, if you want to listen to us on Saturdays

in the Central Valley, that's easy to do.

See, this is why more station should put us on the weekends

because we will plug the hell out of it.

We're on KMJ in Fresno Saturdays at noon.

It is a best of the fixed California hour.

We call it the fixed California hour replay

because it is a replay of the fixed California hour.

Get it? So check it out.

If you're in the car on a Saturday,

Saturdays at noon on KMJ,

it's the fixed California hour replay.

And right now it's time to open up the California crime blotter.

It's happened yet again.

It's wow, wow, what's up here?

It's the California crime blotter with Johnny.

And you're all in for a treat

because the first edition of the blotter

is an ad lasco edition.

And it's on like Donkey Kong.

Ad lasco's had to go to Santa Monica

because someone was firing shots at the pier.

For more, I don't remember that from Threes Company.

Here's Fox 11.

We're learning new details after an arrest

was made after shooting on the pier in Santa Monica.

Police said the gunfire erupted around nine last night

after a large brawl.

Let's go live to Fox 11.

That last ghost in Santa Monica with the update.

And Christine police have made an arrest in all of this,

but really a wild scene here is we're learning a lot more

about the gunfire that led to panic at the pier.

Joe take us right panic at the pier.

Now that's broadcasting.

I wonder if someone didn't like their hot dog on a stick.

It's a panic at the pier.

Joe take us right into the story.

There it is.

The Santa Monica pier all that up on this Monday night.

And you see that that orange colored neon sign.

It says playland arcade.

It is in that very spot where a big fight broke out last night

at this time.

A fight broke out at the arcade at the beach.

Were they fighting over who gets to play street fighter too?

Playland arcade.

It is in that very spot where a big fight broke out last

night at this time, triggering that gunfire.

Watch.

Panic at the pier.

He's just here.

So we unloaded a whole clip, huh?

That's what one does at the beach.

Panic at the pier.

He's just here.

Maybe he was just an impatient fisherman.

And by the way, if you're wondering what it would have sounded like

if there were two guns.

He was just here.

Returned fire.

And just everyone took off running and people were almost trampling

each other and whatnot.

He was crazy.

Yeah, it was crazy.

Yeah, crazy and scary as gunfire hits the world famous Santa Monica

pier sending the crowd running for their lives.

Yet another place that your relatives who don't live here think they should

visit when they come don't send them to the pier.

Boy are they in for a surprise.

Those people running for their lives like panic.

Go down to the Orange County beaches.

They don't have this beach.

Perfect.

Those people running for their lives like panic.

It was a real thing.

It was a real shooting.

It goes down here just outside the playland arcade with its video games.

It's shooting galleries all fun and games on Jill.

It turns deadly serious.

Here the gunfire.

You do hear the pop pop pop.

Oh, almost exactly as the gentleman described.

Okay, that was six.

Wait, now let me go back to my guy here.

Panic at the pier.

He was just here.

He was exactly right.

I guess that kind of noise gets burned into your brain.

Don't go to Santa Monica.

You know what that sounds like to me?

What's that?

Panic at the disco.

The people weren't taking any chances.

I'll tell you that much.

They were taking off.

They're really, I never seen a panic with that many people running.

It was crazy.

Someone came when he was running.

Someone came the other direction.

Hit them and they went rolling.

But they ran and like hit in some buildings.

Santa Monica police rush in after a big fight since bullets flying.

Two people are hit.

The first a woman.

Not the target.

She's just walking by when she's hit in the arm.

The second victim, police.

Just not even in the arcade.

Just, you know, enjoying a night in Santa Monica and get shot in the arm.

How do you explain that to the boss?

Sally, why can't you type today?

Well, I went out for a walk at the beach and I got shot in the wing.

Santa Monica police rush in after a big fight since bullets flying.

Two people are hit.

The first a woman.

Not the target.

She's just walking by when she's hit in the arm.

The second victim police now say is the suspected shooter himself,

the shooter who it seems shot himself.

Okay, so it's a little bit of the three stooges.

I think he got a little ricochet action.

Idiot.

A graze wound.

But serious enough to turn the busy peer and do an active crime scene,

you would think that would be more than enough to keep everybody away.

Went one funny thing was there was still people trying to get on the pier

and the cops were like, hey, it's a crime zone.

I can't come on in.

They're like, can we just take one picture?

I love that nobody cared.

In my neighborhood and I live around a lot of old people, a lot of retirees.

Anytime there is an ambulance or a fire truck that comes to someone's house,

everyone goes out of their house, walks on the street, has to find out what's going on.

And it's usually just someone's having trouble breathing or something and then they're fine.

There's a genuine shootout going on on the pier and nobody bats an eye,

nobody cares.

Went one funny thing was there was still people trying to get on the pier

and the cops were like, hey, it's a crime zone.

Like, can't come on in.

They're like, can we just take one picture?

And I live dude, as he says, how crazy.

And I live dude, as he says, how crazy is that?

As for boy, just catch phrase after catch phrase.

This man is he is a treasure like nobody else.

I should have said that to Al when our car got towed at San Quentin.

Dude, where's my car?

And Al, I've dude, as he says, how crazy is that?

As for the suspected gunman, the one who supposedly shot himself,

ID is an 18 year old, a teenager from Rialto.

He is doing court first thing in the morning.

For now, we're live here, Santa Monica, back to the West Side, we go.

There you go.

The arcade at the pier got shot up by a dumbass who shot himself.

What's so bizarre about this story is that it was San Bernardino County

sending their criminals to LA County.

Usually it's the reverse.

There it is.

Yet another ad lasco's classic.

How crazy is that?

Is the cashier? He's dummy?

We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.

I said, hell no baby boy, let me get up on out of here.

It's the California crime blotter.

And this addition involves an underage party,

which makes sense considering we are getting closer to Caesar Chavez Day.

Parents got busted for throwing a rowdy party for their kids.

For more, your CBS 8 in San Diego.

Tonight at 11, we begin with a massive mansion party in Rancho Santa Fe last night

that quickly spun out of control with hundreds of minors in attendance.

It took shares, deputies and officers from San Diego police and the CHP

more than two hours to break it up.

Good evening and thanks for joining us.

Thank you for inviting me, our Kelly at this party.

Good evening and thanks for joining us tonight.

I'm already regretting putting this story on the list.

I have to really start thinking about if I put something on the list,

what are the jokes that John's going to make?

And is it going to get us into a point where we have to go into a meeting?

Are you insinuating that I'm not going to behave?

Yes.

Good evening and thanks for joining us tonight.

I'm Steve Price.

This happened in an area with multi-million dollar homes.

News H. S. Marelda Perez talked with people who work and live close by

and joins us now with more on what they saw and heard as Marelda.

Well, Steve, this house party spirals out of control.

Sheriff say because alcohol was on property and minors were present,

they issued a citation.

People I spoke with.

Matt, I'll learn them.

Oh yeah, fine.

Did the parents are going to pay?

The mansion parents.

People I spoke with off-camera say the event was posted on social media and quickly spread.

This was the scene last night as law enforcement tried to disperse

a massive house party.

It happened in the area of El Albajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

The Senegal County Sheriff's Office says a family hosted a party for their daughter,

but hundreds of minors showed up and the situation got out of hand.

Oh no.

This is one of those instances where like,

all right, you can have a party for a couple of your friends and then one of your friends invites

somebody and then they tell two friends and then they tell two friends and the entire city is

there at a party.

Well, it's one thing if you play the game of telephone.

It's another thing if you post it on the internet.

Could you imagine if you live next door and you see teenage or after teenage or after teenage

you're walking up to this front door?

You'd think that some drug dealers throwing a kins and gyro for their daughter.

City party for their daughter.

But hundreds of minors showed up and the situation got out of hand.

The family eventually called for help clearing the crowd in the area.

Help my house is full of rowdy teens.

What do you think they put in bathtub, guacamole or jello?

In the area, I spoke with a worker at Ranch Market in Delhi.

He wasn't working Saturday night and the shop closed around 8 o'clock,

but he still heard about what happened.

Yeah, one of our customers, she say yesterday there was a lot of kids over there or party or

something like that. Authority.

Boy, they really looked hard for a man on the street that had nothing to do with the story.

Yeah, I heard about something going on over there.

I don't know what it was though.

The best they could do for a witness was somebody who worked at the market nearby that

talked to a customer that heard about the party.

Yeah, one of our customers, she say yesterday there was a lot of kids over there or party or

something like that. Great use of men on the street.

Authority say it took until about 10.30 p.m. to get everyone out nearly two and a half hours later.

She say the helicopter was say all the kids have to leave.

They're back to this guy?

Yes. Are we going to go back to him a third time to find out what the cost is in

French bread this week?

One woman who wished not to reveal her identity also heard the helicopter.

She wasn't aware of the party, but knew something was going on.

She says it was concerning.

Yeah, of course, especially had a helicopter and the police, of course, something happened.

We pay a lot of money to not hear the whirly birds.

Wait, so we now interview the second person who doesn't know what's going on.

Yes.

The sheriff's office says the parents were cited for social hosting.

You think we're going to get a third person that doesn't have a clue?

Now that we've talked to Desi Arnez and Jaja Gabor.

The sheriff's office says the parents were cited for social hosting,

according to their website, a social host is anyone who knowingly host

parties or minors are provided alcohol or marijuana on property they own rent or control.

I spoke with don't be stealing daddy's weed.

You think they own the house or do you think this is one of those air being bees?

Could be.

I spoke with legal analyst dad Eaton to get his insight.

One of the key questions is whether they knew or should have known that alcohol was being

provided. They don't physically have to hand out the alcohol to the minors.

For example, serving as bartender for the event.

That would be pretty fun parents.

I thought we'd learn that teenagers don't drink anymore.

The teenage drinking has just fallen off a cliff.

Not for these teens.

Well, maybe they're drinking white claws.

If alcohol is available and underage people consume it,

then the parents are potentially on the hook for civil and criminal liability, particularly.

What if the booze was just for the parents because they had to deal with all these loud ass kids

and well, the kids stole it.

Is it still on the parents?

Randy, stop interrupting.

I want to see if they talk to a third person who doesn't know anything.

If harm results, according to the sheriff's office,

website does for the consequences anyone allowing minors under 21 to drink alcohol or ingest

marijuana will be held account in just what?

It's a weird way of pronouncing it.

Drink alcohol or ingest marijuana marijuana.

Sounds like something you'd see at the zoo.

They get the lizard high will be held accountable and maybe cited or arrested.

Find up to a thousand dollars or more.

Serve up to six months in jail or be built for law enforcement services, Steve.

So we have spring break coming out for a lot of kids.

We're not that far from graduation season.

I mean, if you're a parent and you want to have a party, you know, let your kids have a party.

What can you do?

What are some of the protections maybe to make sure this doesn't happen to you?

Well, it's a big responsibility, especially when you're hosting a party.

So the sheriff say anyone hosting a party is required to verify the age of guests.

Control access to alcohol or marijuana for those under 21 and supervise minors, Steve.

Drink all your booze then invite the kids over.

Otherwise, something bad could happen.

So wait, so you're only going to let the 21 year old smoke the marijuana and drink the booze

and you're going to let them all hang out together.

Yeah, good advice, but important information as a parent, you know, it's so hard.

You want to do the right thing and it's hard to be watching everything going on,

but we got to be diligent.

All right.

All right.

There you go.

That's the house party that come got completely out of control in Rancho Santa Fe

in the San Diego area.

All right, Randy.

I think we have time for one more addition to the blotter.

He's the cashier.

He's dummy.

We shouldn't make this stuff up if we tried.

I said, hell no, baby boy.

Let me get up on out of here.

It's the California crime blotter.

And this one takes us to Carson High School,

where there were fights being orchestrated by an employee.

I didn't, you didn't think I would remember what the story was about, but I did.

The story I'll only see on Fox 11, a series of brawls,

break out at Carson High School.

Parents say they were started by a staff member.

Fox 11's Hayley Winslow joining us live from Carson after

speaking with parents and students Hayley.

Christine, this was the biggest brawl I've ever seen on campus.

And it was two fights in two days, two kids leaving on stretchers.

Today, there were, whoa.

It's just Lord of the flies on these campuses now.

Today, there were police all over campus, even across the street trying to keep kids calm,

while the parents pretty enraged about what their kids had to go through.

He was attacked because he tried to help one of his friends.

Her son, Jalen, has a fractured face.

15 guys came up to me and they're like, oh, did you break up the fight yesterday?

And I said, yeah, I broke up the fight.

I'm being held by a staff.

And I feel somebody come behind me and like punch me on the side of my face.

Special war.

His friends beaten and bandaged as well from brawls at Carson High School.

There's been just racial wars going on that this man has created.

Wait, racial wars.

It's like Thunderdome.

Racial war is going on that this man has created.

These kids say a staff member who helps with security and football started to divide on campus

between Samoan and African American students, specifically the girls on the cheer squad.

Okay, so somebody that works at the school was trying to start a race war between the black

kids and the Samoan kids.

He sat there, scratched his head, you know, it would be fun if we turned the school into a prison

yard.

Two of those girls tell me the staff member who is Samoan was trying to stop them from

gambling on campus, but things what is going on in Carson?

I'm telling you, it's like a prison.

But things quickly escalated.

He began to verbally attack the girls, calling them out of their names and telling

them that he was going to have his daughter come and physically attack them.

The daughter comes on a golf court.

I see the daughter, the daughter seeing me and we just started fighting.

Well, another apple for the teacher.
