DeMaio enlists KFI’s John and Ken in recall of Josh Newman
KOGO’s talk jock hopes to use Gazelle Plan against gas tax increase
John and Ken from You Tube simulcast. They have an estimated cumulative weekly audience of around one million listeners
Upset over the legislature’s imposed 12 cents per gallon gas tax (20 cents for diesel) passed on April 5, Carl DeMaio, on his April 10 talk show on AM 600 KOGO, announced his “Gazelle Plan” – a plan that would attack the weakest state politician for a voter initiative recall.
DeMaio has identified freshman state senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) as the target for recall. Elected last November, Newman barely won in a heavily Republican district.
It was also Newman who co-authored the gas tax bill that will increase annual car registration taxes up to $175 per vehicle.
So how does a San Diego talk show host affect a recall effort in the 29th senatorial district that encompasses parts of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties? By joining up with the nation’s most listened to local radio talk hosts. John and Ken, from L.A’s KFI AM 640 has an estimated cumulative weekly audience of around one million listeners throughout Southern California.
In 2011, it was John and Ken that led a successful recall drive of three Fullerton city councilpersons, after six Fullerton police officers beat and killed mentally ill and homeless Kelly Thomas. The flame throwing duo often attracts hundred of listeners to live shows broadcast from residential neighborhoods where state parole officials plan to release child molesters. The uproar usually forces relocation.
DeMaio simulcast his announcement with John and Ken on a recent one-hour segment of both shows. The radio conglomerate I Heart Media owns both KOGO and KFI.
The You Tube of the simulcast was posted on April 14.
DeMaio will need around 63,000 signatures, but only from voters in the district. Both DeMaio and John and Ken say several in-the-district petition drives will soon be announced, if the legislature does not roll back the gas tax.
The governor has yet to sign the tax bill, but the plan was “forcefully pushed by Gov. Jerry Brown,” according to the L.A. Times.
The estimated $52-billion raised over the next 10 years will be split between state projects and local city road repairs. But as continually pointed out on their daily show, John and Ken say not one penny of the gas tax will add a new lane of freeway. “It will go for cockamamie B.S like buses and bike lanes,” said host John Cobylt.
