B
Hi,
everyone
welcome
to
pizza
and
politics.
2022
I'm,
Zara
khazarli
I
am
the
chair
of
the
Campbell
youth
commission
and
we
are
a
group
of
13
Campbell
teens
who
who
are
who
assist
City
Council
on
matters
relating
to
Youth
and
teens.
One
of
our
main
goals
this
year
is
to
increase
teen
engagement
on
important
matters
as
well
as
have
a
good
time.
D
Hey
everyone,
I'm
Nicole,
Howe
I'm,
a
freshman
at
Saratoga,
high
school
and
I,
am
proud
to
be
the
chair
of
the
Saratoga
youth
commission.
This
year
we
are
comprised
of
11
teens
from
grades
7
to
12,
and
we
act
as
a
liaison
between
Saratoga
city
council
and
saratoga's
Youth.
We
plan
promote
and
participate
in
educational
and
fun
events
for
Youth
and
teens,
such
as
pizza
and
politics.
D
E
E
I'm
ecstatic
to
be
here
to
learn
more
about
the
politics
within
our
three
cities,
as
well
as
to
be
so
lucky
to
be
able
to
facilitate
this
conversation
to
help
my
peers
learn
along
with
me
in
this
year's
pizza
and
politics,
pizza
and
politics
is
a
political
forum
for
teens
by
teens.
It
began
in
2012
in
the
hopes
of
educating
students
on
the
political
process
and
providing
them
with
ways
to
be
more
involved
within
their
communities.
E
The
event
success
has
shown
the
positive
impact
of
engaging
youth
in
politics
and
received
a
Helen
Putnam
award
for
excellence
in
2021.
Although
many
of
you,
including
myself,
are
not
able
to
vote
yet.
We
are
already
developing
the
practices
of
responsible
voters
and
you
should
be
applauded
for
taking
the
time
to
learn
more
about
the
candidates
and
the
issues
that
will
be
voted
upon
on
Election
Day.
E
E
We
will
take
breaks
between
each
of
our
segments,
which
are
scheduled
at
705
pm
at
7
45
pm.
We
ask
that
our
audience
please
refrain
from
getting
up
during
our
segments
and
wait
for
the
next
break.
If
you
can
so
before
we
begin,
I
would
like
to
discuss
some
of
the
ground
rules
for
tonight.
Audience
members,
you
guys,
are
a
part
of
this
discussion
as
well,
once
I
open
the
discussion
to
audience
questions.
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
Thank
you
all
for
joining
us
tonight.
To
start
I
will
go
ahead
and
ask
the
first
question
and
then
we
will
move
on
to
any
audience
questions
where
we
take
questions
from
our
teen
attendees.
First
we'd
like
to
remind
each
mayor
that
you
will
have
90
seconds
to
respond
to
each
question.
Our
timer
is
sitting
in
the
front
row
and
will
raise
a
sign
to
let
you
know
how
much
time
you
have
remaining
and
will
raise
the
time
sign
if
you
have
reached
your
90
seconds
for
your
first
question
of
the
night.
E
F
Thank
you
for
having
me
here,
I
appreciate,
being
here
was
here
four
years
ago
and
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
meet
with
everybody
here
so
I'd
say:
number
one:
you
don't
have
to
be
a
voting
age
to
make
a
difference.
So,
if
you're
on
the
youth
commission
right
now,
you're
starting
with
that
you're
getting
involved
in
your
and
you
are
helping
to
set
Direction
in
your
city,
so
that's
a
really
positive
thing.
F
The
other
thing
is
you
don't
need
to
be
a
voting
age
to
advocate
for
issues
that
are
important
to
you
for
candidates,
they're
important
to
you
that
might
represent
you,
and
the
biggest
part
of
that
I
think
is
that
it's
important
for
the
Youth
to
come
to
those
of
us
in
office,
and
let
us
know
what
is
important.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
we
put.
The
youth
commission
back
in
Campbell
had
been
away
for
a
number
of
years,
but
I
can
tell
you.
We
don't
necessarily
know
on
our
own.
F
What
issues
you
care
about
mostly
I,
see
it
I,
see
it
through
what
the
youth
Commission
in
Campbell
takes
on
and
what
the
issues
they
tackle
are,
and
that
helps
us
and
the
other
thing
is
don't
think,
because
you're
not
voting
that
you
don't
have
ideas
that
are
unique
and
are
valuable
and
and
can
be
implemented.
So
people
people
tend
to
get
in
the
Rut
of
you
know.
Well,
whatever
you
think
of
has
been
done
before,
but
that's
not
the
case
there.
We
may
have
issues
that
we
haven't
considered
perspectives.
F
We
have
considered
so
I
would
say.
The
biggest
thing
is
to
Advocate
advocate
for
the
issues
and
the
candidates
that
are
important
to
you
and
let
your
Council
know
what
is
important
to
you
and
what
kind
of
actions
you
want,
and
that
is
that
that
input
is
so
important
to
us
and
actually
definitely
makes
a
difference.
G
Thank
you
for
everyone
being
here
tonight,
a
great
question
to
start
out
with
how
can
teens
get
involved
politically
I
think
actually
that
teens
in
a
really
definitive
sense,
might
have
the
most
political
power
in
our
area
because
of
the
amount
of
capital
that
we
put
into
making
sure
that
our
families
have
really
good
educations
and
we
have
opportunities
to
be
able
to
participate,
such
as
pizza
and
politics,
I.
Think
of
three
examples
right
off
the
top
of
my
head
when
being
posed
with
this
question.
G
H
Hello
and
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
today
what
an
honor
thank
you
Adia,
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
with
mayor,
resnikov
and
mayor
Paul
I
believe
to
have
a
good
Democratic
process.
Continue.
The
participation
of
every
single
resident,
not
just
water,
is
key.
You
at
your
age
can
bring
in
your
fresh
perspectives
and
speak
up
your
mind,
bring
them
to
the
elected
officials.
I
completely
agree
with
what
mayor
resnikov
was
saying
earlier:
your
voice
counts.
We
listen
to
you.
H
Your
input
is
critical
when
you
identify
a
need
for
an
improvement
in
the
city,
please
reach
out
to
the
council
members
get
involved
in
the
youth
commissions.
There
are
other
programs,
youth
in
government
or
think
of
ideas
from
your
own
school
that
you
can
put
your
minds
together
and
bring
them
out.
Identify
them.
H
I
personally
find
the
unique
perspectives
that
I
have
heard
from
the
youth
this
year
in
Saratoga
have
given
me
the
greatest
joy
and
have
come
as
an
unexpected
pleasure,
because
on
the
Planning
Commission
I
did
not
have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
the
youth
this
year,
I'm.
Finding
the
youth
reach
out
to
me
and
I
get
to
listen
to
them.
E
Thank
you,
mayors
all
right
now
we're
opening
it
up
to
any
audience
questions
so
audience.
If
you
have
any
burning
questions
for
any
one
of
our
Mayors.
This
is
your
time,
make
sure
to
raise
your
hand,
one
of
our
stage
managers
will
come
over
to
you
and
give
you
a
microphone
and
make
sure
to
stand
up
when
you're
asking
your
questions.
I
H
Thought
you
wanted
you,
okay,
so
in
in
Saratoga,
well,
I
like
to
leave
back
up
as
Adia
mentioned
earlier,
that
in
2009
I
believe
in
Saratoga
I
was
participating
in
the
climate
action
plan
in
my
city
at
that
time,
so
the
need
has
been
there
for
a
while.
My
personal
interest
has
been
there
for
a
while
I
also
currently
serve
on
the
Silicon
Valley
clean
energy
board
of
directors,
which
is
a
group
that
provides
100
percent
clean
energy
to
13
cities
in
the
Santa
Clara
County.
What
Saratoga
has
done?
H
We
adopted
the
climate
action
plan
in
the
year.
2020
We
are
continuing
to
make
improvements
in
the
city
buildings.
We
have
cool
roofs
for
the
library.
We
have
solar
panels
in
the
maintenance,
the
corporate
yard
buildings.
We
have
low
water
usage
Irrigation
in
all
the
parks
in
the
city
we
have
cut
down
on
the
grass
areas
that
need
more
irrigation
and
the
others
are
being
planted
by
drought,
tolerant
plants.
H
We
also
have
been
working
on
the
reach
codes,
which
are
something
which
go
Way
Beyond,
the
State
Building
Code
requirements,
and
this
is
to
combat
the
climate
action.
The
climate,
the
climate
warming
challenges
the
different
terminologies
used
by
different
groups,
but
what
personally
makes
me
really
happy
is
to
see
the
Youth
of
today
seriously
engaged.
This
has
been
the
topmost
question
asked
of
me
in
the
Redwood
Middle
School
that
I
have
gone
to
a
couple
of
times
by
the
leadership
groups
in
different
places
by
the
high
school
students
when
I
went
to
their
classroom.
H
G
Great
thanks
for
the
question:
that's
a
very
important
and
good
one.
So
Cupertino
has
passed
a
climate
action
plan,
but
more
recently
we
have
passed
climate
action
plan,
2.0
and
so
I
would
say
that
definitively
throughout
the
entirety
of
the
city
of
Cupertino,
we
represent
a
constituency
that
is
extremely
concerned
about
climate
change
and
pollution
issues,
making
sure
that
we
have
clean
air
water,
soil
and
so
forth.
G
So
a
lot
of
what
people
don't
necessarily
realize
is
that
Plastics
are
a
bit
of
a
boon
for
the
petroleum
industry.
So
what
what
you're
seeing
a
lot
these
days
is
a
ramp
up
in
in
the
usage
of
plastics
single-use
Plastics
are
particularly
you
know,
difficult
and
I
often
think
that
you
know.
If
we
push
the
science,
the
research,
then
ultimately,
we
may
well
find
a
good
solution
through
through
science,
where
you
might
take
Plastics
and
dope
them
with
enzymes,
for
instance,
and
make
them
much
more
degradable
and
recyclable.
G
But
until
we
get
to
that
point,
we
really
have
to
think
about
the
various
tensions
that
we
have
and
that's
why
you
know
I
wanted
to
really
get
that
on
the
ground
kind
of
thinking,
especially
among
the
youth,
because
you're,
the
future
scientists,
policy
makers
and
industrialists
of
the
of
the
society.
So
thanks,
okay,.
F
I
work
there.
It
is,
unless
I
keep
it
out
here.
I
have
a
great
question,
so
I
think
you're
going
to
hear
some
commonality
in
the
cities.
We
also
are
a
member
of
Silicon
Valley,
clean
energy,
which
is
a
company
that
or
or
a
jpa,
that
joint
Powers
authority
of
multiple
cities
that
that
increases
the
usage
of
clean
energy
and
that
helps
a
lot.
F
We've
also
adopted
reach
codes
which
moves
us
away
from
gas
use
more
toward
electric
the
challenge
there
is:
how
do
you
balance
the
needs
of
the
commercial
side
and
the
home
side,
and
we
have
many
residents
who
couldn't
switch
over
to
Electric
totally
at
one
time,
because
their
their
homes
don't
have
the
infrastructure?
They
don't
have
the
power
grid
to
do
it.
F
They
don't
have
the
proper
panels
so
we're
trying
to
to
do
that
to
where
people
can
stay,
stay
current
and
keep
moving
forward
with
with,
for
example,
new
appliances
and,
lastly,
we
may
be
behind
these
other
cities.
We
are
in
the
midst
of
adopting
our
first
climate
action
plan,
so
this
will
be
part
of
our
general
plan,
we're
doing
an
update
of
our
general
plan.
F
If
you,
if
you
don't
know
what
that
is,
the
general
plan
is
the
document
that
defines
essentially
how
the
city
operates
and
it's
not
just
climate,
but
it's
it's
noise
and
conservation
and
land
use
and
and
safety
and
all
these
things,
and
that
becomes
a
document
within
the
general
plan
that
becomes
a
defining
document
for
the
city.
There's
a
document
that
has
to
be
followed
in
all
policy
in
the
city
and
it's
going
to
make
a
great
difference
and
I
will
say
I.
F
Think
I
think
it's
been
said
here
before
some
of
what
we're
achieving
now
is
literally
because
of
input
from
from
the
youth
and
youth
commission.
When
we
implemented
the
youth
commission,
we
really
had
no
idea
what
kind
of
issues
would
come
up,
but
there
are
issues
of
climate
change
and
mental
health,
very
serious
issues
that
weren't
on
our
table
on
our
plate
before
so
we're
getting
there.
E
Thank
you,
we're
opening
it
one
more
time
to
audience
questions
so
make
sure
to
raise
your
hands
and
a
quick
reminder
to
all
of
our
audience.
Members,
please
make
sure
to
phrase
your
question
in
a
way
that
all
three
mirrors
can
answer.
It
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
person
over
there
with
the
black
shirt.
F
Ahead
and
start
with
yeah,
okay
boy,
that's
as
mayor
or
I'll,
say
if
I
count
mayor
council
I
mean
either
as
mayor
I,
tell
you
what
the
mayor
so
here's,
what
I
think
the
mayor
doesn't
have
a
lot
more
power
than
any
council
member.
It's
it's
it's!
It's
believed
the
mayor
has
a
lot
of
control.
The
mayor
sets
the
agenda
in
the
in
the
city,
but
in
the
meetings
and
chairs
the
meetings,
but
there's
not
much
difference.
A
mayor
is
one
of
five
people.
F
I
would
say
my
greatest
joy
overall
in
being
on.
Council
is
getting
getting
things
done
and
getting
certain
things
important
things
done
like
additional
housing
and
that
included
in
that
housing
is
for
sale
and
Rental,
but
it's
also
below
Market
housing.
We
all
know
that
housing
is
so
so
expensive
here.
So
when
you
can
have
cell
units
that
are
lower
and
particularly
rental
units,
where
maybe
the
rents
are
half
price,
we
have
people
getting
into
homes
now
in
Campbell,
That,
Couldn't,
otherwise
afford
it.
Is
it
enough?
F
Probably
not
you
know,
we
need
to
do
more
and
more,
but
I
would
say
that
that
is
probably
one
of
the
biggest
achievements
of
getting
things
done.
I
look
at
housing
as
a
as
a
primary
one,
because
it's
such
an
urgent
need
and
it's
so
visible
to
people
and
then
I
I
would
throw
in
there.
If
I
could
do
a
personal
thing
to
me.
The
Quran
council
is
to
get
things
done
and
it's
hard
when
you
have
five
people
that
come
from
different
backgrounds,
but
I
think
we
all
learned
to
compromise.
F
I
was
in
a
meeting
very
quickly.
I
was
in
a
meeting
of
Mayors
one
time
and
Jim
Bell,
who
was
a
Senator?
Was
there
and
he
and
he
complimented
me
and
said
he
was
talking
about
somebody
who
said
we
need
to
have
more
people
that
are
being
consolatory
and
and
will
compromise
and
get
things
done
and
I
thought.
That
was
an
absolute
ultimate
compliment,
because
the
goal
is
to
make
progress
and
get
things
done.
G
We
were
able
to
basically
bifurcate
the
library
Expansion
Project
from
a
potentially
new
city
hall,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
politics
involved
in
that,
because
people
were
essentially
saying
well,
you
take
her
six
or
seven
million
dollar
Library
expansion
space
and
we
won't
consider
it
unless
you
maybe
Fork
over
70
or
80
million
dollars
for
the
City
Hall.
So
that
was
actually
a
pretty
significant
political
question
over
time
and
so
I'm
really
glad
that
we
were
able
to
deliver
that
for
the
community
biggest
challenge.
I'd
have
to
say
that
it
was
developmentally
related.
G
G
I
think
one
of
the
greatest
challenges
has
to
do
with
the
collateral
impacts
of
talking
about
the
profit
motive,
which
is
not
it's
not
bad
in
and
of
itself.
But
how
do
you
preserve
a
healthy
democracy
and
have
an
honest
discussion
while
trying
to
be
able
to
take
on
these
very
serious
issues
in
a
manner
that
gets
to
the
heart
of
the
issues?
I
think
that's
been
the
greatest
challenge.
It's
the
ongoing
challenge
of
of
of
a
democratic
system.
In
my
opinion,
thank.
H
G
G
H
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Is
that
better,
okay,
so
wonderful,
so
I'm
I
agree
with
what
has
been
said
so
far,
but
I'm
going
to
take
a
slightly
different
approach.
I
think
I
touched
upon
this
earlier,
interacting
with
the
residents
with
all
the
people
in
my
city
has
given
me
the
greatest
joy
as
mayor,
especially
the
youth.
So
I
won't
repeat
what
I
said
earlier,
but
literally
engaging
with
all
the
youth
groups.
This
week
this
year
has
been
the
surprising
joy
for
me.
I
have
learned
so
much
from
them.
H
My
interactions
with
them
make
give
me
time
to
pause
and
think
about
things
that
are
not
on
the
agenda.
That's
the
best
part
of
it
serving
the
members
of
the
community
to
try
to
solve
their
problems
and
to
find
Solutions
gives
me
a
lot
of
joy
and
happiness
and
satisfaction.
It
makes
it
worth
it.
What
is
the
greatest
challenge
when
I'm
unable
to
solve
a
problem
so
I'll
give
you
a
small
example.
H
Just
I
am
remembering
what
happened
three
nights
ago,
this
Wednesday
well
two
nights
ago,
Wednesday
night,
council
meeting,
so
I
was
very
happy
with
the
meeting.
The
reason
was
very
simple:
there
were
a
couple
of
things
we
were
able
to
achieve.
One
was
very
seemed
straightforward.
There
was
some
issue
about
street
parking
that
people
have
talked
about
larger
RVs
or
some
big
trailers
parked
on
street
parks
on
on
the
streets
and
people
have
been
concerned.
This
was
an
issue
brought
forward
to
me
this
summer
by
a
couple
of
residents.
H
Only
couple
of
residents,
backed
by
groups
in
their
neighborhoods
and
people,
were
not
too
Keen.
In
approaching
this
I
said
no
people
have
been
talking
about
this
I'll,
take
it
to
council
and,
let's
see
where
it
goes,
it
is
an
issue.
I
was
so
thrilled
that
suddenly
I
got
a
unanimous
watch
from
the
Council.
On
that
it's
a
small
issue
in
the
scheme
of
things,
but
a
big
issue
to
people
who
get
impacted.
We
found
a
good
solution.
The
compromise
is
the
best
part.
I'll
say
one
more
thing
there.
E
E
G
K
G
Hope,
I
I
think
we've
been
through
some
really
unique
times
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
You
know:
you've
you've
gone
through
the
metoo
movement.
There's
black
lives
matter.
There
was
a
stop.
Asian
hate
gone
through
a
lot
of
turmoil
socially,
with
the
pandemic.
You've
had
to
take
school
on
video,
for
you
know
some
extended
amounts
of
time
just
depending
on
which
school
you're
attending
right
and
I.
G
G
Energy
is
converging
upon
this
time.
It's
a
bit
of
an
inflection
point,
so
you
know
what
I
hope
for
you
guys
is
that
you
go
ahead
and
take
that
energy
and
you
go
ahead.
You
you
don't
put
too
much
pressure
on
yourself
go
ahead
and
do
things
that
you
find
interesting
and
take
a
very
broad-based
view
with
respect
to
how
you
view
others,
how
you
view
what
you
find
interesting
and
go
forward
in
in
your
endeavors,
because
I
think
I
really
think
that
we
can
have
social
Equity,
we
can
have
Prosperity.
G
We
could
have
a
lot
of
these.
You
know
solutions
to
the
problems
that
illus
climate
change,
you
know
being
just
one
of
them,
but
I
think
we
have
the
starting
point
for
it
and
go
forward
and
you
know
do
what
you
really
enjoy
and
do
it
in
a
way.
That's
compassionate,
you
know
extend
upon
the
lessons
that
we're
learning
here
and
just
know,
there's
no
perfect
solution,
it's
really
the
the
striving
and
the
achieving
of
it.
That
is
what
brings
us
together
into
this
system.
So
thanks
thank.
E
F
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
throw
back
a
question.
I
got
earlier
in
the
year,
so
we
met
with
the
Campbell
youth
commission
over
coffee
earlier
in
the
year,
and
some
of
our
commissioners
are
here
and
I.
Don't
remember
who
asked
the
question,
but
a
question
was
asked
that
was
great:
it
was
it
was
there
so
essentially
there's
so
much
going
wrong
with
the
world.
F
Why
do
I?
Why
should
I
even
get
involved?
It
might
have
been
asked
by
something
right
here.
Why
should
I
even
get
involved?
What
difference
does
it
make
and-
and
it's
a
fair
question,
a
great
question,
but
here's
what
I
would
say
you
have
the
ability
to
participate
and
make
a
difference.
You
don't
have
the
ability
anymore,
that
we
do
to
solve
every
problem,
but
you
can
make
a
difference
by
moving
forward
in
small
steps
and
and
and
getting
certain
things
done
and
I
would
I
would
say
the
distinction.
F
Is
you
don't
think
of
this
as
politics
which
to
me
is
more
of
how
do
I?
How
do
I
get
people
to
do
what
I
want
to
do,
but
more
of
governance
of
can
I
contribute
somewhere
and
help
and
move
things
move
things
forward
and
make
make
even
small
progress.
The
gentleman
before
I
asked
the
question
you
asked
about
challenges
too
and
I
missed
that
piece
of
it.
The
biggest
challenge
is
when
you
don't
make
those
small
steps
and
you
don't
compromise
and
move
forward,
but
you
can
make
a
difference
and
I'll
finish
up.
F
I
think
I
said
at
the
youth
commission.
One
of
the
things
I
should
have
mentioned
earlier
there
few
years
back,
I
think
it
was
17.
I
had
an
idea
that
we
were
forced
into
a
special
election
that
cost
us
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
kind
of
were
forced
to
do
as
a
marijuana
initiative
and
I
asked
the
question.
Well,
why
do
we
have
to
do
this
now?
Why
can't
we
wait
and
it
turned
out
that
nobody
ever
asked
that
question
before
they
just
didn't
know
and
I
said
well.
Is
it
constitutional?
F
F
Just
don't
just
just
feel
like
your
ideas
are
valued
and
you
may
come
up
with
things
we
don't
we
don't
know
about,
and
you
can
make
small
steps
if
you
have
to,
but
you
can
make
a
difference
and
that's
the
message
I
would
give
get
involved,
be
advocate
for
what
you
want
to
you
want
to
get
accomplished
and
help
us
move
it
forward.
Even
if
we
don't
get
to
the
goal
line,
move
it
forward
and
make
a
difference.
E
M
Hey
world
I
have
a
quick
message:
it's
about
safe
driving,
alright,
let's
go
anytime.
You're
driving,
have
the
seat
belt,
buckle
tight,
both
hands
on
the
wheel
and
your
phone
out
of
sight?
Well,
not
in
your
hand,
trying
to
take
somebody
back
because
if
you
do
your
car
might
get
smacked
the
more
of
the
story.
Just
put
your
phone
down,
the
people
on
the
road
will
stay
safe
and
sound.
Put
your
phone
down
put
your
phone
down.
People
on
the
road
will
stay
safe
and
sound
yeah.
E
E
For
our
second
round
we
have
four
Fremont
Union
High
School
District
board
candidates,
each
running
for
one
of
the
three
open
seats
on
the
fuhsd
board.
The
candidates
are
Rosa,
Kim,
Naomi,
nakonon,
Matsumoto,
Andrew,
Aaron,
Arness
and
Stanley
Coupe
candidates.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
join
us
on
this
evening
as
local
students.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
get
involved
and
informed
about
the
policies
surrounding
our
own
education.
E
Before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
remind
all
audience
members
that
these
candidates
are
here
tonight
to
engage
you.
So
we
encourage
you
to
have
your
questions
and
make
sure
to
have
them
ready.
If
you
have
a
question
after
we
open
it
up
for
discussion,
make
sure
to
raise
your
hand,
High
wait
for
one
of
our
stage
managers
to
come
over
to
you
and
stand
up
when
asking
your
question
and,
as
a
quick
reminder,
make
sure
to
State
your
full
name
and
your
grade.
N
N
My
priority
was
supporting
a
diverse
group
of
students
and
as
a
VP
of
board
and
a
task
force
committee
or
member
I
work
with
our
board
members
and
to
support
our
district
to
provide
best
possible
education
during
the
pandemic.
So,
while
I'm
running
so
I
would
like
to
utilize
my
experience
and
knowledge
for
the
past
four
years
to
support
our
new
superintendent
Graham
clock
and
during
the
pandemic,
I
got
the
certification
on
College
automation,
advising
and
career
planning.
N
O
O
My
name
is
Naomi
nakano
Matsumoto
I
am
the
proud
mom
of
three
fuhsd
graduates.
I'm,
a
social
worker
by
profession,
I
have
spent
my
career,
focusing
on
youth
programs
and
Youth
Development
programs,
and
so
I've
worked
in
substance,
abuse,
mental
health
prevention
programs
for
Youth
and
provided
a
perspective
of
Youth
advocacy,
I've,
always
led
by
example,
and
have
helped
students
develop
the
programs
that
they
felt
were
needed.
O
P
Anyways
and
the
reason
I
want
to
get
involved
because
I
really
want
to
make
this
District
the
best
in
the
country,
not
just
by
test
scores,
but
because
of
the
great
morale
that
we
have
and
the
great
fun
we're
going
to
have
as
we
learn
and
achieve,
and
people
are
going
to
look
at
this
District
or
at
least
I
want
them
to
and
say
wow
what
is
going
on
with
the
Fremont
Union
High
School
District
they're,
amazing.
We
want
that
for
our
kids.
P
We
want
you
to
have
the
best
education
you
can
get,
but
also
make
wonderful
friendships
for
a
lifetime
and
to
end
friendships
and
to
be
ready.
100
ready
for
college
now,
I
have
a

P
So

three

my
wife's
sitting

thankful
for
her
support
and
she's
out
here.
My
family's,
been
here
since
1960.
time
is
up.
Is
that
what
that
means?
Okay
can
I
just
say
for
more
information
on
my
bio,
you
can
go
to
my
Facebook
page.
It's
under
Andrew,
Aaron,
Arness
you'll,
see
a
lot
of
great
pictures
and
you'll
see
what
my
vision
is
for
the
district
and
also
too
the
goals
for
the
district
and
everything.
C
Q
Everyone
thank
you
very
much
to
attend
this
event
and
I
really
really
appreciated
your
showing
up
and
the
concern
about
our
school
district,
and
my
name
is
Stanley
for
more
than
two
decades,
I
have
been
deeply
engaged
in
public
education
and
the
community's
advancements
as
a
classroom.
Teacher
Community,
School,
principal
software
development,
Engineer
program
manager
and
the
parrot
I
have
a
two
boys
graduate
from
Cupertino
High
School
I
recognize
the
fundamental
value
of
education
for
a
strong
community
and
thriving
economy.
Q
While
teaching
I
saw
the
direct
impact
of
policy
decisions
on
my
students
and
learned
firsthand
how
to
work
directly
with
Educators
students
and
Families,
having
earned
two
master's
degrees,
one
in
Computer
Engineering
and
an
MBA
I
understand
the
power
of
education
and
how
to
get
the
most
out
of
the
limited
resources
ever
ensure
that
every
dollar
of
tax
taxpayers
money
will
support
our
students
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
helping
our
schools
and
helping
our
students.
Thank
you.
E
R
E
P
N
P
E
E
P
P
N
Thank
you
all
right.
That's
a
very
good
question.
So
well,
I
recommend
I'll
visit
your
high
school
I
mean
the
future
high
school
a
lot
and
actually
attend
any
sports
game
or
any
performance
at
high
schools,
and
it
it
will
make
you
feel
more
comfortable
when
you
go
to
high
school
as
a
freshman,
and
also
we
have
lots
of
great.
You
know:
students,
leaders
at
our
high
school
so
reach
out
to
them
and
then
ask
there
ask
them
their.
You
know,
thought
about
their
school
and
then
they
will.
N
You
know
kindly
share
I
mean
the
advice,
I
believe
right,
I'm
in
here
high
school
students
and
for
me
a
high
school
study.
I
mean
the
academic
or
the
social
things.
I
mean
you
know,
try
a
lot,
I
mean
and
explore
a
lot
and
also
read
a
lot
and
I
I
always
recommend
writing
journal.
Because
reading
and
writing
is
you
know,
foundation
for
all
the
you
know
all
subject
areas.
N
O
There
are
a
lot
of
different
student
groups
and
activities
that
are
out
there
for
our
students,
and
so
you
know
it's
if
even
if
you
are
someone
who's
introverted
I
would
recommend
that
you
try
to
look
and
find
something
that
is
speaks
to
you
as
far
as
maybe
a
club
or
something
that
you
might
be
interested
in
and
then
with
that,
as
Rosa
has
said,
you
know
get
involved.
Thank
you.
E
T
E
Q
As
long
as
as
a
long
time,
Fremont
Union,
High,
School,
District,
Parent
I
support
a
parent
and
school's
Partnerships
and
I
think
the
equities
for
our
all
our
students,
not
just
they
are
reaching
all
going
to
the
top
universities.
It's
making
sure
they
fulfill
their
goals.
So
that's
the
way
I
see
the
equities
is.
Thank
you.
N
Yes,
our
districts
believe
our
statement
is
actually
according
excellence
and
that's
how
our
district
is
really
putting
effort
in
effort
to
it
and
I
can
tell
our
we
as
a
you
know,
administrator
or
District
leaders.
Our
goal
is
help
every
student
succeed
and
I
think
the
foundation
is
getting
input
from
students.
That
will
be
the
first
things
and
when
we
know
when
we
understand
what
needs
is
or
what
what
needs
and
our
students
has
and
every
student
has,
that
will
be
the
foundation
for
our
practice
and
based
on
that,
we
need
to.
N
You
know,
make
it
better.
The
program-wide
or
you
know
even
instruction
and-
and
we
do
have
a
lot
of
Intervention
Program,
but
always
there's.
You
know
the
achievement
Gap.
So
we
need
to
no
I
mean
we
need
to
improve.
I
mean
the
individual.
The
approach
to
every
student
I
believe
teaching
is
individual.
You
know
activities
and
we
need
to
make
a
more
wrapper
between
students
and
teachers.
I
think
we
need
to
support

E
O
You
thank
you
and
I.
Think
I
heard
your
you
say.
Your
name
is
Tanika.
Okay,
I
love
this
question
and,
as
Rosa
said,
you
know,
our
district
is
committed
to
Excellence
and
Equity,
but
I
see
it
as
a
social
justice
Advocate
and
someone
who's
been
a
social
worker.
All
my
career
I
see
it
as
equity
and
Excellence.
I
put
Equity
first
because
to
me
without
Equity
we
can't
get
to
Excellence,
and
so
that
is
an
area
that
I
put
my
focus
on
I.
Also,
you
asked
about
diversity.
P
Okay,
just
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
my
introduction.
I've
had
the
wonderful
opportunity
of
coaching
kids
at
the
highest
levels:
the
Olympics
NCAA
Champions,
Pac-12
champions
again,
I
mentioned
that
I
was
a
coach
for
Junior
Olympics
and
also
for
USA
weightlifting
and
as
I
look
at
this
and
the
reason
I
bring.
This
up
is
I
like
to
use
the
metaphor
of
a
team
we're
all
on
a
team,
we're
on
team,
Fremont,
Union,
High,
School
District
and
we're
divided
up
into
five
different
high
schools.
Some
of
you
are
Vikings
here.
P
Some
of
you
are
Mustangs
and
so
on
and
so
on.
So
when
I
look
at
this
having
coach
championship
teams
at
the
highest
level,
let
me
tell
you
something:
when
I
look
at
my
team
I
see
athletes
I,
see
students
who
I
want
to
get
the
best
out
of
I
want
them
to
reach
their
full
potential.
I,
don't
care
what
their
nationality
is.
I,
don't
care
anything
else,
I
want
them
to
get
the
best
education
and
when
they're
on
my
team,
I
want
them
to
reach
their
full
potentials
as
student
athletes.
P
So
you
go
on
having
a
wonderful
experience.
What
do
I
see
out
here
tonight
I
see
amazing
students,
amazing
students,
paying
the
price
for
future
rewards
because
you're
here
tonight
and
I
applaud
you.
Do
we
have
any
student
athletes
good?
We
have
a
few
out
there.
So
that's
how
I
view
you,
and
if
anyone
on
my
team
ever
makes
a
derogatory
comments,
any
other
player
or
coach
or
any
other
student,
we
nip
it
in
the
bud.
It
stops
immediately.

is
harmful
for
two
reasons.
Our

argument
is

Our
second
argument
is
the
power
grid.
Our
power
grid
is
already
stressed
this
summer.
The

reasons,

X
W
It
does
not,
because
just
because
something
has
been
developed
does
not
mean
that
would
be
implemented
on
a
wide
scale.
We
see
a
lot
of
new
technologies
are
developed
in
places
like

but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they're
all
around

now,

These
sorts
of
Technologies
can
be
a
huge
barrier
to
actually
getting
them
out
into

public,
and
so
it
because
you
don't
have
evidence
showing
that
this
is
actually
being
implemented
on
a
wide
scale.
We
just
can't
assume
that
this
technology
will
be
implemented.
May
I
have
a
question.
W
X
Currently,
with
Worldwide

this
is
enough
to
make
at
least
a
considerable
Denton
in
them,
and
we
discussing
the
Californian
government,
not
the
world
one.
So
for
today's,
for
today's
debate,
I'd
like
to
focus
on
first
off
the
Californian
government
and
also
the
California
government
with
motorcycles.
X
I
think
that
has
the
same
issue
as
your
first
question,
in
that
your
arguments
are
outside
the
scope
of
the
wording
of
what
we're
debating
today.
So
I
think
we
should
focus
on
the
issue
at
hand
and
not
on
external
ones
and
I'd
like
to
ask
you
a
question,
so
you
made
an
assumption
earlier
in
your
first
response
about
how
this
is
a
lab-developed.
X
Very
new
technology
and
electric
vehicles
without
rare
earth
metals
are
very
unlikely,
but
Honda
developed
this
in
2016
and
Nissan
Motor
companies
has
actually
already
told
Motors
that
it
has
scrapped
the
rare
earth
metals
from
the
engines
of
its
Aria
model,
which
is
in
production
and
being
sold.
Thank
you
that.
Y

So,
just
before
we
begin

reference
we'll
be
going
over,
we'll
be
going
over
the
framework
of
the
argument
and
the
value
Criterion
and
then
their
case,
and
the
time
permits
will
be
going
back
towards

case
and
then
with
that
we'll
start
our
time
now,
I'm
proud
to
affirm

resolution

California

Advanced
Clean

Number
two
Rule
now
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
the
most
important
part
of
this
resolution
is
the
words
the
Californian
government.
Y
If
the
web
at
the
scope
of
the
resolution,
was
meant
to
include
the
rest
of
the
world,
it
would
have
said
the
world
is
meant
to
pursue
things
as
well
as
benefits
towards
the
overall
environment,
but
because
of
the
scope
of
the
resolution
specifically
focuses
on
the
Californian
government.
We
like
to
limit
today's
conversation
towards
California
and
at
best
the
rest
of
the
United
States.
Y
By
now,
there
are
already
countless
of
these
cars
in
circulation,
but
if
our
opponent
tries
to
tell
you
it's
just
Honda,
that's
simply
not
true
as
the
rest
of
the
leading
automobile
industry
has
already
made
similar
efforts.
Germany's
BMW
did
the
same
for
its
ix3
electric
SUV
this
year
and
the
world's
two
biggest
automakers
Toyota
motor
company,
as
well
as
Japan
and
Volkswagen
of
Germany,
have
told
Reuters
that
they
are
also
cutting
back
on
the
minerals.
Y
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
mitigate
their
entire
argument
and
we've
already
ruled
it
out
of
the
scope
of
today's
debate,
but
moving
forward
we'll
talk
about
their
second
argument
on
the
idea
that
supposedly
when
it
comes
to
the
power
grid,
that
it'll
over
stress
the
California
government
and
that's
something
that
will
lead
to
the
all
these
negative
impacts.
First
of
all
dealing
this
argument,
because
we'll
tell
you
that
there's
already
ample
funding
is
set
aside
for
infrastructure
and
these
kinds
of
things
take.
Y
For
example,
the
fact
that
New
York
Times
has
already
reported
that
within
California
there's
nearly
10
billion
dollars
in
a
state
program
to
make
these
automobiles
more
affordable
to
build
charging
stations
than
other
electrical
vehicle
infrastructure,
particularly
in
these
low-income
communities.
But
more
than
just
that
we
saw
the
California
Air
Resource
Board
themselves
discussed
different
kinds
of
incentives,
as
well
as
2.4
billion
dollars.
Y
But,
lastly,
let's
conclude
by
looking
towards
an
overall
impact
analysis
and
weighing
these
two
debates
on
things
like
scope,
magnitude
and
time.
First
and
foremost,
when
we
look
towards
things
like
time
impact,
we
see
that
we
absolutely
went
on
time
because
when
we
trace
it
back
towards
their
first
argument,
this
was
an
article
I'd
like
to
remind
you
again
was
published
in
2016,
which
means
that
many
of
the
other
technological
developments
and
the
abundance
of
rare
earth
minerals
isn't
something
that
the
leading
car
manufacturers
across
the
world
continue
to
rely
on.
Y
But
more
than
just
that,
when
it
comes
to
things
like
scope
as
well
as
magnitude,
we
continuously
outweigh
them.
When
we
look
towards
our
return
back
towards
our
own
case,
we
showed
you
that
when
it
comes
to
the
impacts,
we
literally
cut
50
of
California
emissions,
eliminating
395
million
metric
tons
of
global
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
the
year
2040,
and
this
impact
is
going
to
be
preferred
over
anything.
Y
At
the
end
of
the
day,
when
we
talk
about
lives,
we're
focusing
on
American
lives,
as
this
is
the
scope
of
the
resolution
and
we're
the
only
argument
here
that
goes
into
exact
specifics
on
saving
all
these
lives,
all
these
monies
and
for
all
this
Reasons
I'm,
proud
to
affirm
today's
resolution.
The.
Z
Let's
start
on
our
case,
where
we
tell
you
that
building
a
bunch
of
electric
vehicles
would
need
tons
of
rare
earth
metals.
They
give
you
a
couple
responses
here.
First,
they
tell
you
that
we
should
only
limit
the
scope
of
this
resolution
to
California
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
doing
we're
telling
you
that
if
we
increase
the
amount
of
electric
vehicles
to
a
hundred
percent
by
2035
that
would
ramp
up
production
so
much
that
would
force
us
to
rapidly
increase
our
Rare
Earth
metal
usage.
Z
Then
they
try
to
tell
you
that
Japan
has
already
developed
electric
vehicles.
There's
a
couple
key
problems
with
this
argument.
First,
none
of
these
are
in
the
United
States,
but
then,
even
if
you
don't
buy
that
are
Forbes
in
2021
evidence
that
post
dates
theirs
by
five
years,
tells
you
that
the
majority
of
electric
vehicles
right
now
still
rely
on
rare
earth
metals,
meaning
you're
still
going
to
see
the
Boom
in
the
production
and
the
boom
on
the
Reliance
on
China.
But
then,
let's
go
to
our
second
argument
about
power
grids.
Z
Z
But
what
we
tell
you
is
that,
right
now
the
United
California
ish
has
been
issuing
warnings
about
how
their
power
grids
are
unable
to
handle
more
electrical
vehicle
charging
at
that
point,
even
if
they
do
tell
you
that
we're
investing
more
in
power
grids
that
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
we
are
still
going
to
be
10
in
10
million
gigawatts
of
energy
deficit
through
building
all
these
electric
vehicles.
But
then,
let's
go
to
their
argument
about
environmental
leadership.
Z
They
tell
you
that
this
makes
other
states
follow
suit
and
develop
these
policies,
but
we
contend
it's
if,
even
if
other
states
adopt
these
policies,
it's
bound
for
failure.
Patrick
slaughterhum
from
the
lulia
in
the
University
of
Technology
says
that
adoption
of
new
tech
has
to
be
accompanied
by
systematic
changes
and
take
into
account
interdependence
between
market
dynamics,
institutions
and
more.
Z
The
California
Gas
ban
is
not
that
it
doesn't
address
things
like
the
high
price
of
electric
vehicles,
strain
on
the
energy
grids
and
and
the
difficulty
for
companies
to
actually
proc
profit
off
of
then
they
try
to
tell
you
they
reduce
emissions
by
50,
but
we
contend.
That's
simply
not
true.
They
don't
account
for
the
fact
that
a
60
of
the
United
States
electricity
is
produced
by
burning
fossil
fuels.
What
that
means
is
sure,
even
if
they
are
powered
by
electricity,
we're
still
burning
a
bunch
of
coal
in
order
to
power
these
cars.
What
that?
Z
Z
That's
why
our
Manhattan
Institute
card
finds
that
overall
building
these
electric
vehicles
is
going
to
cause
a
ton
more
emissions,
then
they
talk
about
air
pollution,
but
since
they
don't
solve
for
the
amount
of
people
actually
increa
actually
still
driving
their
gas
cars,
they
never
solve
for
the
problem,
then,
on
environmental,
then,
on
their
third
contention
about
environmental
benefits,
they
say:
switching
to
electric
cars
creates
a
bunch
of
jobs
but
you're
still
taking
away
cars
from
the
gas-powered
car
industry
that
still
trades
off.
That
doesn't
mean
you're.
Actually,
on
that
increasing
jobs.
Y
Z
Y
Z
Y
Can
we
talk
about
the
electrical
Vehicles
right
and
where
earth
metals
in
general
right?
So
if
the
leading
automate
like
manufacturers,
including
Honda,
as
well
as
places
like
BMW
and
Tesla,
if
they've
all
began
creating
models
that
have
already
been
into
production,
that
haven't
used
Rare,
Earth
minerals,
then
how
does
that
connect?
Doesn't
that
de-link?
Your
argument.
Y
Z
Honda
not
sell
cars.
Evidence
is
really
specific
about
electric
vehicles
in
the
United
States,
the
ones
that
are
being
sold
in
the
United
States
majority
of
them
use,
Rare,
Earth,
minerals,
and
even
if
they
don't
use
Rare,
Earth
minerals,
we
contend.
The
cost
of
those
kinds
of
vehicles
is
much
higher
and
is
much
more
unsustainable
for
people
to
afford.
Y
E
X

The
other
team
has
admitted
during
cross-examination
that
they
don't
have
a
number
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
which
means
you
have
to
prefer
our
case,
because
we
give
you
the
facts
and
we
give
you
the
statistics
of
50
of
California
emissions
down
by
2040..
We
cited
specific
statistics
on
how
much
was
reduced
and
how
much
will
increase
no
second
off.
Let's
talk
about
human
lives,
so
our
opponent's
argument
is
that
there
are
human
right
violations
happening
in
China.
X
Not
only
that,
but
during
our
first
contention
we
talked
about
the
human
rights,
the
human
issues
in
California.
We
talked
about
how
there's
statistics
showing
that
there
are
severe
health
issues
being
caused
by
the
by
the
Productions
of
these
petroleum-based
cars,
the
toxic
chemicals
that
are
being
leached
into
the
air
that
are
hurting
a
lot
of
people
and
90
of
Californian
people
have
inhaled
some
toxic
gases
from
the
petroleum
cars
and
how
that,
with
this
I'll,
give
you
a
statistic
with
this
law
being
passed.
W
So,
let's
focus
on
two
main
parts
of
this
debate:
first
is
the
environment.
We
tell
you
that
ramping
up
Productions
of
EVS
to
the
point
where
they
make
up
a
hundred
percent
of
new
cars
in
the
state
will
require
lots
of
mining
of
rare
earth
metals.
They
gave
one
response
to
some
cars:
don't
use
Rams.
First,
none
of
these
are
in
the
United
States.
The
production
is
outside
the
U.S.
Second
Forbes
in
2021
still
finds
out
the
majority
of
EVS
still
use
tons
of
rare
earth
metals.
W
It's
why
they
conclude
by
2030
we're
going
to
need
10
times
the
amount
and
they
never
actually
address.
This
what's
happening
right
now
doesn't
mean
that
what's
happening
in
the
future
will
align
with
these
new
Innovations
because
they
aren't
actually
being
implemented
on
a
large
enough
scale.
Overall,
our
study
from
the
Manhattan
Institute
explicitly
finds
that
expanding
the
use
and
production
of
EVS
at
the
rate
that
California
is
attempting
would
produce
many
more
emissions
than
it
would
save.
W
This
takes
out
their
environment
impact
and
you're
always
going
to
prefer
our
evidence,
because
we
directly
account
for
the
production
emissions
it
takes
into
account.
Their
50
percent
reduction
in
emissions
we
had
two
main
impacts.
First
is
human
rights.
100
thousand
uclan
Muslims
are
placed
into
forced
labor
as
a
result
of
REM
mining.
When
you
buy
an
electric
car,
you
have
an
impact
on
other
countries
and
other
people
in
this
world.
It
is
not
right
for
my
opponents
to
dismiss
these
very
real
world
impacts
just
because
they
don't
affect
Californians.
W
This
is
a
direct
matter
of
the
resolution,
because
electric
vehicles,
the
Rams
that
you
are
using,
they
do
come
from
other
countries
now
you're
also
now
they
give.
They
say
that
they
give
specific
numbers
you're,
also
going
to
always
prefer
our
lesser
evidence.
That
tells
you
that
empirically
the
emissions
saved
by
the
admission
by
by
EVs
and
the
missions
created
by
EVS,
the
creation
of
emissions
is
so
much
more
when
you
actually
think
about
everything
considered,
including
the
production,
but
then
on
air
pollution.
W
They
never
address
the
fact
that
most
people
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
afford
these
vehicles,
which
is
what
we
tell
you.
We
tell
you
that
people,
especially
people
who
are
low
income
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
afford
it,
because
the
average
income
of
people
who
buy
these
vehicles
is
four
times
higher
than
those
who
can't
and
because
of
all
these
reasons,
we
strongly
negate.
E
Thank
you
to
Amy,
Alex,
Allen
and
sonby
for
a
riveting
debate.
We
will
be
taking
a
brief
two
minute
break
for
our
judges
to
finalize
their
ballots.
When
we
return,
we
will
announce
the
winners
of
this
year's
debate,
all
right
with
that,
our
two
minute
break
for
a
judge's
deliberation
has
concluded.
If
everybody
could
please
find
a
seat.
That
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
E
E
Both
sides
did
an
amazing
job,
finding
their
own
cases,
as
well
as
refuting
the
opponents
encompassing
the
True
Values
of
what
a
public-form
debate
holds
for
societal
topics
like
today's
without
further
Ado.
We
would
like
to
announce
that
the
affirmative
side
has
won
the
Teen
debate
segment
of
2022's,
pizza
and
politics,
but
once
again,
both
teams
did
an
exceptional
job.
E
E
We
hope
you
have
learned
and
taken
a
lot
away
from
this
event
and
leave
this
room
with
a
passion
and
an
interest
to
continue
learning
about
the
politics
of
your
city
and
the
world.
We
encourage
teens,
who
are
18
and
above
to
register,
to
vote
at
register
to
vote.ca.gov
voting
is
important
for
teens,
because
it
allows
us
to
directly
impact
issues
that
may
affect
our
lives
in
the
future.
Your
vote
makes
a
difference
in
your
community
and
to
other
teens,
just
like
you.
