As it turns out, we. 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 4: Got two foreigners on the show today with us. 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: By the way, who are the two foreigners? Oliver right there? 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: R on the board. But I got the accent. 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: I'm here every day, Lucy, he'll do in traffic for us. 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: Oh what does Lucy sound like? 19 00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: Lucy? 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 4: Are you there? 21 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 5: You'll yeah, you'll hear me. But you know what, I 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 5: don't consider myself. I've been here forever. 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: I've been here. Well, then why the accent would be 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: the question? 25 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 5: Because I was born there. 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so you know, birth, growing up, all that stuff. 27 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: I told you though that you know. Yeah. 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: I used to go to an Italian restaurant and it 29 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 3: was a very popular Italian restaurant. The owner was from Italy, 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: no surprise maybe, but he'd been in the country forty years. 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 3: And I asked him, I said, why if you've been 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: in the country forty years do you still speak with 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: such a thick Italian accent? And he said, let me 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 3: tell you something. To Tom. He always called me Tom, 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: even though he knew my name was Mark Thompson. Let 36 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: me tell you some of Tom. I lose my accent. 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: I lose in my business. So I think on some level, 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: you people with accents know that we melt for you. 39 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 5: We melt for you, true, but it's the shame in 40 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 5: It's the same in the UK. You know, when you 41 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 5: have an American persson. 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: No it's not, Oh, you never lose the accent. But 43 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: you guys don't melt for the American accent. 44 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: No way. 45 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: You guys look down on it. No you don't. Please, 46 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 3: I'm sure there are a few that do. But in general, 47 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: we we will absolutely u just truly uh fall over 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: ourselves for anybody with any kind of accent, not just British. 49 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 2: But I don't think it works the other way. 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 4: Around in any part of the world. American accent people 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: on the planet. 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 5: Yes, we're in Japanese love American. 53 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: Okay, maybe you got to go to Japan to find 54 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: an example. Then come on, no, no, no, I I haven't 55 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: been to Japan. I want to go to Japan, but yeah, 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: never been, so yeah, exactly. All right, So now that 57 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: we've got this whole accent thing squared away, we'll get 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: to l a budget cuts and where you might see them. 59 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: Michael Monk will join us a little bit later in 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: this half hour. Also, John, why am I hearing an echo? 61 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: Is there a reason for that? What's going on?

Yeah, we have a 66 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: special guest coming up atink the top of the six 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: o'clock cour about Johnny Carson. It's in relation to Johnny Carson. 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: I'll just tell you now, do you know who Johnny 69 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 3: Carson is? We had this say yesterday, Richie. You know 70 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: Johnny Carson, Crickets really, that's incredible, man. So yesterday, for 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: those who missed it, we had it's Dick Van Dyke's 72 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: one hundredth birthday coming up, and they're having this big 73 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: festival for Dick van Dyke in Malibu where he lives, 74 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: and it's coming up a December seventh, and it's like 75 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: an all day thing and there's a film, a documentary 76 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: about Dick van Dyke and all this thing. And when 77 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: Richie was telling me about it, he said, and we 78 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: got this guy about Ivan ivan Dyke or Ivan van Dyke, 79 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: I said, Dick van Dyke. 80 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy. 81 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. And Richie had no idea who Dick van Dyke 82 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: is or was was in entertainment history or is today. 83 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 3: So I now turned to Johnny Carson when we're talking 84 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: about Johnny Carson today that you literally don't know who 85 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: Johnny Carson is or was you You. I don't believe you. 86 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 6: No, I swear there's like a park with his name 87 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 6: on it, like across the street. 88 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: That's right. 89 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: He used to tape his show right across the street 90 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: from where we're sitting right now. 91 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 2: No, seriously, please please inform. 92 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: Well, at a time long ago before the Internet, before 93 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: there were all the channels that are now available to 94 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: you if you have cable or YouTube TV or whatever, 95 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: if you're watching live TV, all the streaming services. There 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: were but a handful of networks. Three networks really, CBS, NBC, 97 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 3: and ABC, and then there were a couple of independent 98 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: channels that would sometimes show up in a bigger market 99 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: like Los Angeles, but if you were out in a 100 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: smaller market, a smaller community, it was really literally only 101 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: the three. It was NBC, ABC and CBS. So you 102 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: had everybody who was watching TV funneled into those three places. 103 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you had the choice. 104 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: You can watch TV, but it has to be live 105 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 3: as it happens, and you're going to watch one of 106 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 3: three channels, or you can go read a book, or 107 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: play chess or par cheesy or go out in the yard. 108 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: But that was it. 109 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: And so when late night TV rolled around, the going 110 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: out in the yard thing is pretty well done. The 111 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: book will just put you to sleep, and most people 112 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: aren't playing part cheesy anymore. They're watching late night television. 113 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: And it became a dominant way in which the culture 114 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: was affected. And so you had on NBC one of 115 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 3: the three choices. You had this guy Johnny Carson. He 116 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: did the Tonight Show for years, for decades, and he 117 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: became a cultural institution, I mean a media institution and 118 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 3: a cultural institution. And prior to his presence, I think 119 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: on Tonight Show, there was a Steve Allen and there 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: was this guy Jack Partc. So there were various guys 121 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: who took on this role, but he he took on 122 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: the role in the most enduring way, right, So he 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: had really just celebrities and people promoting stuff through that 124 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: Tonight Show world, and it was a you know, it 125 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: was the thing. And then of course after Carson, Jay 126 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: Leno took over, you know, and he carried that I mean, 127 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: you know, he made it a number one show. I think, 128 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: I don't know if it was number one at the time, 129 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 3: but Jay did really well with it too. And then 130 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: what happened, and now what's happened is a number of 131 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: different options are now available to the late night viewer participant, 132 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: everything from gaming to streaming to Netflix to you know, 133 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: time shifted viewing. You can watch you know, something on 134 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: Bravo that you wanted to see, but you you know, 135 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: Real Housewives past episodes, and so the audience has been 136 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: attenuated across you know, so many different platforms. But you 137 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: have to remember at the time we're talking about classic 138 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: television sixties, seventies, even eighties, the options were far fewer, 139 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: and this guy, Johnny Carson became appointment viewing and he 140 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: influenced the culture and people would talk about it the 141 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 3: next day. Did you see what happened on Johnny Carson 142 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: last night? Did you see what he said about this? 143 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 3: Did you see so and so on Carson? And if 144 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: somebody did well on Johnny Carson, comedians did well on 145 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: Johnny Carson, it could launch their career. Drew Carey as 146 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: an example, people did well on Tonight's show and they 147 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: were launched. Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Carrey, even Leno himself was 148 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 3: I think Leno was probably already a very popular club comic. 149 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 3: But when he I mean top of the game type 150 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: club comic, but when he was on the Night Show 151 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: and Letterman, he I think was vaulted to another level. 152 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: And then he started filling in for Carson, and you see, 153 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: you see the power again culturally of this guy Johnny Carson. 154 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: Jenny Carson had a remember he had a clothing line, 155 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: the Carson Clothing Line. I mean those older boys and 156 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: girls who were hearing this, you know what I'm talking about. 157 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: He he was the guy. What's wild is to go 158 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: back on YouTube and look at some of these old 159 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: Carson things and they're smoking and they're drinking. It was 160 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 3: really like a cocktail party over desk. 161 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: Anyway, he was essentially the standard for late night from 162 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 4: what nineteen seventy or whatever until he retired in the 163 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: early nineties. 164 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a great way to put it. 165 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: Was the standard. He was the one that you looked 166 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 4: at when you even thought of late night TV period. 167 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 6: And had some of the best comedic timing of anybody 168 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 6: on TV ever. 169 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we used to talk about how many babies 170 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 4: were conceived during the Tonight show because everybody had it 171 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 4: on at night. 172 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it on it night. 173 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, Yeah, thank you for making it 174 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: clear to us what you were saying. 175 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: All right, spell it out. 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 3: LA Budget Cuts next and well we talked to Carl. 177 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 3: We've about Carson with this guy who's dedicated his life 178 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 3: to or some aspects of his life to Johnny Carson. 179 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: Michael Monk's next on LA Budget Cuts. Mark Thompson here 180 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: for Tim Conway Jr. 181 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 7: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 182 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 7: Am six forty. 183 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson here for Tim Conway Junior. Thanks for joining us. 184 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 3: We're going to get right into a serious problem in 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: LA County and that's money. Yeah, the budget is blown 186 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 3: out and there have to be some very difficult cuts ahead. 187 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: Michael Monks joins us from KFI News. So give me 188 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: the bad news. 189 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 6: Well, the bad news is that troubles are melting in 190 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 6: Los Angeles County when it comes to their money. There's 191 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 6: not enough coming in, there's too much going out, and 192 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 6: they are probably going to have to make some difficult 193 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 6: choices they already had to do to get this current 194 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 6: fiscal year, which starts in July, in order to have 195 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 6: a balanced budget. They had to make some serious choices. 196 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 6: It's going to be worse next time around. And there's 197 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 6: a multitude of reasons for that. 198 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: Mark. 199 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 6: Not the least of wish is a four billion dollar 200 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 6: sex abuse settlement. 201 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: Well, this is exactly what I wanted to get into, 202 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 3: and I'm glad you brought it up, because the reason 203 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: we find ourselves here is because largely of stuff like this, 204 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: and it how we ended up with that big number. 205 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,479 Speaker 3: Is fascinating, isn't it, Because it's quite controversial. 206 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 6: It's the largest sex abuse settlement in the history of 207 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 6: this country. And this is a country that had numerous 208 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 6: Catholic dioceses facing bankruptcy because of how much money they 209 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 6: had to pay out for their own sex abuse scandals. 210 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 6: This one in La County is enormous. And by the way, 211 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 6: according to La County DA Nathan Hoffman, could have significant 212 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 6: amounts of fraud. People making claims that we're not accurate, 213 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 6: but were not vetted before this settlement was announced. 214 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 8: It was only after the fact. 215 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 6: That's how loose the county government is with your money. 216 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 6: And by the way, I should point out to you also, 217 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 6: today's devastating news about the county's finances was presented by 218 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 6: an acting county CEO. Because the permanent county CEO is 219 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 6: sitting at home after being paid two million dollars. 220 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: Now, because why that she was paid two million dollars. 221 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 8: The county CEO, FISHA. 222 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 6: Davenport, was offended defamed by Measure g's ballot language last year. 223 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 6: That was the ballot measure that La County voters approved 224 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 6: to make the county ceo an elected position rather than 225 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 6: an appointed one. But she thought that that defamed her, 226 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 6: so she was going to sue the county. They settled 227 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 6: with her for two million dollars. That's more money flying 228 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 6: out the door. I mean, this is grotesque. It's grotesqueness 229 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 6: on top of other grossness. And so you end up 230 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 6: with what are uh, it's a record settlement concocted cases 231 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 6: in large measure, as you say, uncontested than this two 232 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 6: million dollar payout, which is just like a rounding error 233 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 6: compared to all the rest of this, and we end 234 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 6: up where where we are today with an insane deficit, 235 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 6: insane deficit that is going to affect people that use 236 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 6: county services. Here is what acting county CEO Joe Nikita 237 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 6: said today to the supervisors. 238 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 9: And the math here is pretty straightforward. Our fixed costs 239 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 9: are going up. These are costs we have to pay 240 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 9: and they're not optional. And a major driver of those 241 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 9: costs is the two percent cost of living increase for 242 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 9: our employees next year. We have to pay that, and 243 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 9: we continue to experience slower property tax road. We do 244 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 9: not believe our increase in revenue will cover our increase 245 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 9: in fixed costs. This means that as we head into 246 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 9: the new budget year, the curtailments in place will help 247 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 9: us balance and pay for the COLA, but budget pressures 248 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 9: will constrain our flexibility to fund new or existing priorities. 249 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 9: And this is important because some programs key to the 250 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 9: Board's vision are operating already in a structural deficit or 251 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 9: have substantial unmet needs. Now, in ordinary years, we look 252 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 9: to revenue growth, revenue growth to trim structural deficits and 253 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 9: grow investments in existing priority programs. We don't think that 254 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 9: would be possible next budget year. 255 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 8: So two things there at the end. 256 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 6: One, they just don't expect revenue growth to be significant 257 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 6: enough to stave off any disaster that they're facing. In Two, 258 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 6: he's saying to the Board of Supervisors, a lot of 259 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 6: your pet projects, a lot of the priorities that you 260 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 6: have you have created together as a board, they're already 261 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 6: in financial trouble. And those include the diversion programs that 262 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 6: take people who might have mental health problems, keeps them 263 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 6: out of jail and puts them into different services. That 264 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 6: is all ready in need of over one hundred and 265 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 6: eighty six million dollars over four years to fund one 266 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 6: thousand more beds. The program they created to help defend 267 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 6: tenants who are facing eviction. They need another one hundred 268 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 6: and sixty eight million dollars for that over the next 269 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 6: five years because it was created with one time funding 270 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 6: that did not have any other source of funding down 271 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 6: the road. 272 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 8: The cow fresh. 273 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 6: The contributions from the county are going to have to 274 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 6: be more because the federal government is not going to 275 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 6: be giving as much. 276 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: That's to eat exactly. 277 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 6: It used to be a fifty percent participation from the 278 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 6: federal government. That's going to twenty five percent now. Now 279 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 6: the state in the county will have to make up 280 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 6: that difference. The cost of the county is more than 281 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 6: forty two million dollars. That's a huge But what does 282 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 6: it mean for you and me? It means a lot 283 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 6: because the departments that could be cut by this and that. 284 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 6: Acting CEO Joe Nakida referenced multiple departments, including probation, some 285 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 6: of the larger departments in the county. 286 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 8: It could also mean cutting the. 287 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 6: Hours that bathrooms are available at the beaches, cutting the 288 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 6: amount of cleaning efforts that there are at the county beaches, 289 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 6: reducing the amount of time that swimming pools are open 290 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 6: and available to the public, reducing services at animal control. 291 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 6: So if there are shelters that are already struggling, they'll 292 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 6: struggle more. If you've got problems with animals in your area, 293 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 6: you will have less response time. These types of cuts 294 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 6: will have a direct and immediate impact on your lives. 295 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: This is brutal, just brutal. 296 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 8: It's only going to get worse. 297 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the point. I mean, part of the brutalities 298 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: that I don't see an end to it. 299 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 8: I think those. 300 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 6: It's the same thing I see with the City of 301 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 6: La as an observer, as a reporter who looks at 302 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 6: LA City Hall and LA County. We mention those key 303 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 6: program areas that these particular supervisors like and that are 304 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 6: having financial challenges. It's a matter of priorities, and when 305 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 6: you listen as intently as I do to these things, 306 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 6: I think it is appropriate at some point to question 307 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 6: those priorities and say we have to get our house 308 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 6: in order. Because you would do that as an individual. 309 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 6: I would do that as an individual, even if it's 310 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 6: something I care about. Let's say I've got a four 311 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 6: h one k here at the company and I've been 312 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 6: putting five percent of my salary side, and the next 313 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 6: year I'm like, oh, I'm doing pretty well. I'm going 314 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 6: to put ten percent aside. But then the year after 315 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 6: that things get a little shaky. I, as a responsible adult, 316 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 6: might say, I got to cut that back to just 317 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 6: a five percent contribution. These folks would probably go up 318 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 6: to fifteen percent, except that would be saving money or 319 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 6: investing money and not spending it on a pet project. 320 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 321 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: I mean, this is clearly mismanagement. And I don't know. 322 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: You know, you have a window on this and you 323 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 3: sit through these hearings, but this just seems as though, 324 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: you know, it's these guys can't find their butt with 325 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: both hands.

Here's what you can now. Again, 413 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 3: I had problems yesterday, but this should be good. 414 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: I think. No, it's not all right. I swear you 415 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: got it up in there or not. 416 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 10: Campbell's this morning, Campbell Soup is denying claims about its 417 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 10: products allegedly made by an executive and a recorded conversation. 418 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 10: The person in the recording is also heard belittling Campbell's 419 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 10: customers during an explited field rants. 420 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: So healthy, bio engineered me. 421 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 8: I don't want to eat. 422 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: All right, let me let me stop it here, because 423 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: I think I don't know how well you can make 424 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 3: this out. But basically, in this conversation he's saying, and again, 425 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 3: this conversation was recorded by the employee, and by the way, 426 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 3: just before you say anything, it's not the same. In California, 427 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: it is legal to record this conversation without the person 428 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 3: who is being recorded knowing about it. 429 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: In Michigan, and that's where. 430 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 3: This took place, but the employee is saying that the 431 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: company makes highly processed food for poor people. We have 432 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: s for fing poor people who buys our s I 433 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 3: don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now, 434 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 3: and I know that I know what the F is 435 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: in it. And then again the response was that it's 436 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 3: bioengineered meat. And this is the executive, Martin Ballely, responding, 437 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: and I don't want to eat a piece of chicken 438 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 3: that came from a three D printer. So they're both 439 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: kind of dumping on what Campbell's soup is made of. 440 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 4: And from what I understand, it's not like it's not 441 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 4: three D printed. I mean bioengineered is basically they're basically 442 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 4: saying that the machines are pulling off the meat from 443 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 4: the chickens, and that's what they're calling io engineered. 444 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: I see. 445 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 4: So it's not like they're making meat, right, but the 446 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 4: point still stands. 447 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they go on to make all these disparaging 448 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: comments about you know, various ethnicities. Play a little bit 449 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: more that we'll see it too what has actually said, 450 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 3: but you get it. 451 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: It's a little hard to make it out the shoe. 452 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 11: Mesi chicken that came from a three D print. 453 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 10: The recording is allegedly from a conversation that's now part 454 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 10: of a lawsuit filed by Robert Garza, a cybersecurity analyst 455 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 10: for Campbell's, who claims he was fired after reporting the 456 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 10: alleged remarks, which he says also included racist comments about 457 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 10: company employees. Garza claims Campbell executive Martin Balley made those 458 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 10: comments after the two met to discuss Garza's salary. In 459 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 10: a statement, Garza's attorney saying, this situation has been very 460 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 10: hard on Robert. He thought Campbell's would be thankful that 461 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 10: he reported Martin's behavior, but instead he was abruptly fired. 462 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 10: Campbell's responding saying if the comments were in fact made, 463 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 10: they are unacceptable. They do not reflect our values and 464 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 10: the culture of our company, and going on to say 465 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 10: the comments heard on the recording about our food are 466 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 10: not only inaccurate, they are patently a cert. 467 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 4: Nothing melts away the cold like a delicious humfowl of 468 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 4: Campbell's soup. 469 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 10: Campbell's saying the chicken meat used in our soups comes 470 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 10: from long trusted USDA approved us suppliers and meets our 471 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 10: high quality standards, and the company noting Bally worked in 472 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 10: it and had nothing to do with food production. Bally 473 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 10: is on leave pending a company investigation. In the meantime, 474 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 10: the Attorney General in Florida, a state that bans lab 475 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 10: grown meat, says his office is now investigating Campbell's products. 476 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we. 477 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 10: Reached out to Martin Bally but did not couldn't get Martin. 478 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 3: Can we surprise that is sorry? So it's a good 479 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 3: thank you. The deal is going to end up this way. 480 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: Bally's going to get fired for his comments. The employee, 481 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 3: the it guy who recorded it, he's going to get 482 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: a check and kind of told to go away. Is 483 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 3: going to sign some document that says this is over 484 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: and done with and Campbell's is going to go on. 485 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a great brand. They've done very well 486 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 3: through the years and they'll continue to do well. So 487 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: all the disparaging comments that were made, I think just 488 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: get lost in the wash. But wow, it's a bad 489 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: moment for that company, especially once it's picked up by 490 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: various local news outlets GMA, it kind of gets out 491 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: there and it becomes, you know, a People magazine thing, 492 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 3: which is where it is also being talked about. So 493 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: but Campbell's Soup isn't going anywhere. It's it's one of 494 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 3: those brands that is Americana.

Happened about twenty to seven the other night. 505 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: It was Saturday, northbound on ramp of the five Freeway 506 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: near Vista Street right in Burbank, and a passenger in 507 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 3: the car ran away from the cops, eventually hid in 508 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: some bushes.
