He was a real 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: astronaut and very rarely do you get to talk to 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: somebody who did that. It's huge all right back here 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: on Earth. There was a protest in the in a 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: very busy hour I think it was a five thirty 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: five fifteen five thirty on Wilshire and that's not a 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: good way to get people's attention. People get pissed and 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: they have to sit there in traffic because you're waving 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 1: those flags. 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: We just got over the scene here, still trying to 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: get some more details, but you can see from all 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 3: of the flags are blocking Wilshire Boulevard right here, Wilshire 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 3: at Granville, so just west of the four or five. 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: Obviously a super congested corridor this time of the day. 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: Perhaps not a coincidence that this is yam Kapor as well. 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 3: Ye intersection. Quite a few people, well over one hundred. 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: It looks like we have a big pickup truck here. 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: They just had a flag on the back of that 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: as well. LPD has a helicopter over. Definitely do not 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: like when they are blocking streets right now, so I 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: would not be surprised if they declare this an unlawful assembly. 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: It's not clear how long they've been blocking the intersection, 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: if they had just been on the sidewalk, or if 39 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: they all just gathered and then got in the middle 40 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: of the street. 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: Here. 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: You could see a couple of motor units arriving now 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: at this point, so I'm sure they're going to come 44 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: and give them a warning, tell them to at the 45 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: very least get back to the sidewalks, or they may 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: come and shut this down. So we'll see how this progresses. 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: A peaceful protest so far pro Palestinian. It appears Wiltshire 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: at Grandville, just west of the pourtal five. 49 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: That ruby all right? That is I think it was 50 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: Desmond Shaw And I'm looking at the traffic right now, 51 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: and it is. It doesn't look bad. It doesn't look 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: like it's you know, completely swamped in that area. It's 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: what did you say, grand Film. I don't know where 54 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Grandville is? Is that he said it's west of the 55 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: four or five? And if it's on Wilshire and Grandville, 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: I don't know where that is. If it's but if 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: if anywhere on Wilshire, it's going to be a pain 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: in the ass for a lot of people. Grandville might 59 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: be down I don't know. It might be down near Barrington. 60 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, it's where bearing It's between Barrington and Westgate. 61 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: So it's where those big apartment buildings are that are 62 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: always in the news. They're trying to kick everybody out 63 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: and renovate them. They've been there since like the nineteen sixties. 64 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: There was a fire in there about ten years ago. 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: That was devastating to a lot of people. But that's 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: where it is. It's on Wiltshire. He's right, and that 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: whole area is completely jammed. Wiltshire west of Barrington, west 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: of the four to five, So it's on the ocean 69 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: side of the foural five between Bundy, Bundy and Westgate 70 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: to the west and that's and then Barrington to the 71 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: north or the east, whatever that is, but that's where 72 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: it is. There's a protest going on at Grandville and 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: Wiltshire and so that's where it's all happening right now. 74 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's just one of many stories that are 75 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: happening now throughout southern California. There's a murder suspect that's 76 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: held up somewhere in Brentwood or bel Air and they're 77 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: looking for that guy or that gal as well. And 78 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: then we had the high speed chase that ended up 79 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: off off of Oxford and Olympic and so there's a 80 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: lot going on in La. You know, it's a it's 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: an off day. The Dodgers aren't playing today, so we 82 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: did need some entertainment and we got it, you know, 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: from my guys and gals that are out there. You know, 84 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: making life interesting for everybody. All right, let's talk about California. 85 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: In the California Insurance boss. Everybody's worried about their insurance 86 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: going up, whether it's your home insurance or car insurance, 87 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: and everybody is, you know, paying more and getting less coverage. 88 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: So let's find out what's going on. 89 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 4: California's insurance commissioner is a frequent flyer that's setting across 90 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: country but mostly all over the world. A nice gig, right, 91 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 4: especially if taxpayers are picking up the task deeparating his 92 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 4: flights to business in first class expensing, the five star resorts, days, chauffeurs, 93 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 4: limo service, even a Safari. 94 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 5: The list goes on. 95 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: Man, I thought they would stop this crap, you know, 96 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: people in the government flying around on our dime. I 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: thought that was over. Evidently it's not, you know, it 98 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: just continues. People think once they get into public office, 99 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: they can do whatever the hell they want and nobody 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: will care. 101 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: Thousands of records obtained by Seven on Your Side investigates 102 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: show California's insurance Commissioner, Ricardo Latta, racked up the receipts 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 4: in recent years at least forty eight trips across the 104 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 4: globe to virtually every dot you see on this map 105 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 4: since he assumed office in twenty nineteen, and that may 106 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: just be scratching the tarmac, as years of his travel 107 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,119 Speaker 4: records remain missing from the state. 108 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: That's the biggest concern. If you were to ask my 109 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: office the purpose of government travel, we'd be able to 110 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: identify every single benefit that came from these trips. 111 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: All departments are required to identify a clear established need 112 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 4: to travel, and for out of country trips, a mission 113 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 4: critical purpose is required. But after nine months of questioning, 114 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 4: the California Department of Insurance was unable to specify those 115 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 4: reasons for a series of trips, including a five star 116 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 4: hotel stay in New York City for Pride Fest that 117 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 4: coused taxpayers more than eleven thousand, six hundred dollars. 118 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: What wait a minute, You're going to New York for 119 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Pride Fest. Don't we have Pride Fest out here? Don't 120 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: we have a Pride parade in Long Beach, in West 121 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: Hollywood and Hollywood? Why do you got to go to 122 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: New York for the Pride Fest? And eleven thousand dollars 123 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: for hotel room for a week that. 124 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 4: Cost taxpayers more than eleven thousand, six hundred dollars. The 125 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: four day trip listed no insurance related meetings on his calendar. 126 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: How about that goes to New York on our dime, 127 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: spends eleven thousand dollars just on the hotel room. I 128 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: can't imagine what he you know, what the bar bill was, 129 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: or you know, the dinner bill or lunch or meals 130 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: with these guys, and that's probably fifteen thousand dollars. And 131 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: what do you do for us? 132 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 4: Nothing but a vip rooftop event with DJ Kitty Glitter 133 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: made the cut.

I've been subjected to them too many 143 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 5: do is not unique to me? 144 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 4: Record show Lada's five day trip to Bogata, Columbia for 145 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 4: an LGBTI political leaders conference cost taxpayer? 146 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: Wait, why is the insurance commissioner flying around to the 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: LGBTI or lgbt Q whatever it was. Why is he 148 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: flying to Bogatah for that? What does that have to 149 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: do with our car or house? Insurance? 150 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: For an LGBTI political leaders conference cost taxpayers more than 151 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 4: twenty four thousand dollars. 152 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Okay, now we're up to around fifty thousand just for 153 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: those two trips. For the trip to New York for 154 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: lgbt Q festival and then to Bogatah for another LGBTQ festival. 155 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: That's five times more than we previously reported. Receipts showed 156 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 4: more than seven grand was spent on taxi fares. 157 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: Wait, seven grand on cabs was. 158 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: Spent on taxi fares? 159 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: The hell's going on with this guy? 160 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 4: Turns out a private security firm accompanied him at the conference. Well, 161 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 4: travel is not uncommon for California's insurance commissioner, and prior 162 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: commissioners have also traveled internationally. Political analysts are raising questions 163 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: about the frequency, cost, and lack of transparency with Lata's trips. 164 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: The State of California is nearly broke. It's worse than broke. 165 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: We're in debt and this guy's flying all over all 166 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: over the globe to go to these conferences. And what 167 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: do they have to do with insurance? My guess nothing. 168 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 4: For example, last November, Lada took a trip to Cape Town, 169 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 4: South Africa for an international insurance conference, but the conference 170 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 4: was only two days, yet receipt show taxpayers paid for 171 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 4: his entire two and a half week's stay at a 172 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: luxury hotel. Records are still missing from this trip, but 173 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 4: we can tell you his security detail alone caused taxpayers 174 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 4: more than thirty three thousand dollars. And that's not including 175 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 4: any of the miscellaneous bills like expensive hiking equipment. 176 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 6: I'm having a hard time understanding why hiking polls are 177 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 6: something at the state needs for insurance. 178 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm with you, very very good questions, and taxpayers 179 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 4: paid for a visit to the Big five Safarian SPA 180 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 4: to put that trip and perspective for you. We requested 181 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 4: all the travel records of legislators on both state insurance committees, 182 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 4: but received show a significant disparity. Let me show you 183 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: what I mean. One example involving Lisa Calderon, the Assembly 184 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 4: Insurance Committee chair, She averaged roughly nineteen thousand dollars annually 185 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 4: over the past five years. 186 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: Okay, five years, she spent twenty thousand a year. That 187 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: seems reasonable for travel. This guy spends it in a 188 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: week for. 189 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 4: All her taxpayer funded travel. Now compare that to Commissioner 190 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 4: Lada's CHP security detail exceeding thirty three thousand dollars for 191 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 4: just one trick. Commissioner Lada and Assembly Member Calderon's role 192 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 4: is not a direct comparison in scope of representation, but 193 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,359 Speaker 4: the Department has not provided the travel records from previous commissioners, 194 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 4: describing them as incomplete. 195 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: And he's not going to get fired, he's not going 196 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: to get suspended, he's not even going to get reprimanded. 197 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: We'll all just live with it. We all just have 198 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: to suck it up and realize that these guys are 199 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: going to be crooks. Until we change these guys out, 200 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: they're all going to rip us off. 201 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: In fact, Latta's staff provided a list of five international 202 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 4: trips former Commissioner Dave Jones took during his tenure. 203 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: Why isn't this bigger? New did this guy spending you know, 204 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: three four hundred thousand dollars a year on travel. 205 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: Compare that to at least twenty one international trips lot 206 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 4: it took, including a luxurious ten day trip to Dubai 207 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 4: staying at a pricing five star resort. The Department says 208 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: this was to participate in United Nations policy panels and 209 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 4: insurance forums. 210 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: A nightmare. Another guy that's ripping off California and nothing's 211 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: going to happen to him. All right, well you voted 212 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: him in. That's what you get. 213 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 214 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: AM six forty. 215 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: We had Kerry Urtz, who is an astronaut.

We had a chase motorcycle chase that 219 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: ended up on Olympic in Oxford. Covered that. There's a 220 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: protest on Wiltshire just west of the four h five 221 00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: near Bundy and Barrington. Covered that the rest of one 222 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: of the bodies, the two bodies that was found in 223 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: a car. We covered that today there's a murder suspect 224 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: that they're looking for in bell Air on the near Brentwood. 225 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: I believe we were getting information on that a car 226 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: that flew into a Jewish school on the holiest holiday 227 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: on the Jewish calendar. I hope that's just a coincidence, 228 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: and we're covering that as well. Man, it's just a 229 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: lot of news.

You were supposed to 259 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: and you decided. 260 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 7: Remember the military planes aren't flying this year. 261 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: Yeah right, military, they're grounded. Belly, Do you remember the 262 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: reason I didn't do it? I don't because they wanted 263 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: me to have a physical. Oh, they didn't think I 264 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: was in good enough shape to do it. And I said, look, 265 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: I when I go out and do remotes, if I 266 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: have to have a physical, I'm not going. I'm out 267 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: because I'm not in great shape. So I'm not gonna 268 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: do it. As much as you ask those Air Force 269 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: or Navy pilots to be mellow and not do nine g's, 270 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: they immediately do nine g's. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, And 271 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm not into that. You wouldn't want to pass out. 272 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: Why would I want to pass out? I pass out 273 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: in here, That's true. I get dizzy almost on a 274 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: daily basis. Yeah, so I don't need nine g's. I 275 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: need just third gear in my car. That's enough g's 276 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: for me to pass out. So I don't do it. 277 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Have you ever done it the Crows? You've ever done 278 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: the flying with the Air Force? Have not? Yeah, you 279 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: could do it, you'd probably you know, by the end 280 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: you'd be flying the thing. I'd be for it. Yeah, 281 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: you should do it, Belly, Have you done it? No, 282 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: you haven't flown with the Air Force. No, you missed 283 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: an opportunity. You'd probably throw up. I would definitely throw up. Yeah, 284 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I can do it. You know, I 285 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: wonder why if you do throw up in the Navy 286 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: or the air Force plane is when you land? Is 287 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: that on you to clean it up? Get that going again? 288 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: You get back to square one? I think, So are 289 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: you supposed to do it yourself? Or they give you 290 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: a bag? You're blow in that bag? Hope everybody's enjoying supper. 291 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 7: Ah. I did that once on a plane. It was 292 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 7: one of those Grand Canyon tours. Oh no, where it's 293 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 7: like the twelve sixteen seedars. And not to be stereotypical, 294 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 7: but I had like three or four French guys behind 295 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 7: me who apparently enjoyed their meal last night because I 296 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 7: was feeling it the next day. And I have like 297 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 7: like a VCR tape of like because my friend was 298 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 7: sitting next to me and he was recording me just 299 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 7: yeack in the whole time. 300 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, you still have it? 301 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sure I got it somewhere. I gotta find 302 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 7: last Yeah, it's on VCR and just you could hear 303 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 7: the French guys just go fard. 304 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: Wait. So it was a tour of the Grand can Yeah, 305 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: it was one of those two or three hour ones. Yeah, 306 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: and it was was it early in the morning, it was. 307 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 7: Early midday morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the worst. And 308 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 7: it's like and those those planes are so just stuffy, 309 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 7: like there's no fresh air and it's just it's a can. 310 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: Yeah. And they put as many people on there as 311 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: they can. 312 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 7: Oh my god. Yes. And I thought I got about 313 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 7: a half hour in and I was like, oh, I 314 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 7: was feeling a little bit. 315 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I thought, I'll tough it out. I'll 316 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: tough it out. 317 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 7: And then the pilot comes on and says. 318 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: All right, well we're almost halfway. And I went, oh, no, oh, 319 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: that's awesome. You know it was I've done that before 320 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: I took pilot license. I took a pilot test, not 321 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: I had lessons, and I wanted to be a pilot 322 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: at one point my life. And I took I got on. 323 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: The first test, was fine, The first lesson was fine. 324 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: I made it. And then the second one, I was 325 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: hungover and I had just gone to Denny's for breakfast 326 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: or I don't know, ihop or something, and I lost 327 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: it about ten minutes out and I said, buddy, you 328 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: got to get back or else I'm gonna you know, 329 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna destroy this plane. And I never went back. 330 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 7: I bought my ex lesson flying lessons once because she 331 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 7: said she wanted to fly. 332 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Most people get through one or two and then 333 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: that's a right. She didn't make the ten, but she 334 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: got close. Yeah, I would love to do that. I 335 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: think that's one of the coolest things in the world 336 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: to pilot a plane. I mean, you know, to have 337 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: that kind of responsibility where that plane and the passengers 338 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: on that plane are solely at your hands. 339 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 7: I mean that's a huge especially they're like the smaller planes, 340 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 7: because it's like the realization that just under your feet 341 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 7: is nothing. 342 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could wipe out, you know, those seven 343 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: people instantly. It's a big responsibility. And I didn't think 344 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: I was up for it. After I took my second lesson, 345 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't think I didn't have good I didn't. I 346 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: didn't have the discipline it takes to become a pilot. Really, 347 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: I can't just direction and I can't show up five 348 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: minutes before and fly this thing on my own watching videos, 349 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: all right. You know that's interesting though, belly O Now 350 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: videos out there and simulators. I wonder how much of 351 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: it can be done on the ground. You don't have 352 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: to fly, you know, Oh there you go. Like remember 353 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: that guy that flew the Alaska Airliner in Seattle and 354 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: eventually crashed it. He was just a mechanic. Yeah, and 355 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: he just said, oh, I've played video games my whole 356 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: life and in the simulators, and he was able to 357 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: take an aircraft and fly it for around an hour 358 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: and a half and he's never flown before in his life. 359 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: But it's just on the simulator that he worked. So 360 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: maybe I'll do that. I'll get a simulator going and 361 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: and maybe not drink the night before. That'll be my plan. 362 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: All right, how about how about getting out of plane 363 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: captain not Tim Conway and then bang, everybody's flying off 364 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: the plane. Got a mighty. 365 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 366 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: AM six forty. 367 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: Don't forget Gary and Shannon are doing a live remote 368 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: tomorrow at the air show. BELLYO, where's that remote going 369 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: to be for? We can direct people to where that 370 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: remote is going to happen. Do you know any idea 371 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: she's out there, she's got headphones on. What do you 372 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: put your headphones on? Headphones. Where's the remote, the Gary 373 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: and Shannon remote tomorrow, you know, at the air show. 374 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: Let me check. I'm gonna get that information. It should 375 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: be on the wall here somewhere, you know, whenever anyone's 376 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: doing a remote, whether it's Handle or John Colebelt or 377 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: US or I don't know, Moe Kelly or George Nori 378 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: or any king, and then the information should be on 379 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: the wall and people can look at that and go, hey, 380 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: they're going to be at this restaurant tomorrow at nine am. 381 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: I guess I got to do that. I'll do it, 382 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'll just get in there knock that out. 383 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: Man. 384 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: All right, there's a great article yesterday in your Los 385 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: Angeles Times. Almost no one is building new apartments in 386 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles years Why. Los Angeles developed developer Cliff Goldstein 387 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: just completed a plush new apartment complex on the West Side. 388 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: But that's the last one he's gonna build in the 389 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: foreseeable future. Even though demand for housing in this region 390 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: is hot, hot, hot, many people who build apartments for 391 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: a living have paused putting shovels in the ground. Pause 392 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: putting shovels in the ground, I should say, and that's it. 393 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: There's just no profit in anymore. So it's a needle 394 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: in a haystack to find an opportunity that makes financial 395 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: sense to build today, according to Goldstein, and then they 396 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: used to have multiple projects, as many as eight hundred 397 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: total units being built at the same time in Los Angeles, 398 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: but no more. That's over. We haven't built a or 399 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: we haven't bought a site with the intention to develop 400 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: it in over two years. That's what this guy does 401 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: for a living. And he hasn't purchased a piece of 402 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: property in two years. So in two years from now, 403 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: he'll be building nothing. Nothing. And he says, I don't 404 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: want to I don't know when it will start again, 405 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: but it's probably not going to be soon. The supply 406 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: of fresh rental units, which make up a bulk of 407 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: new housing in Los Angeles, is petering out. Because wow, 408 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: there's many reasons why the vacancy rate is among the 409 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: lowest in the country, while rental rates are among the 410 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: highest nationwide. Still, the number of new units under construction 411 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles has been falling each quarter since the 412 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: early part of last year, and it's set to hit 413 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: a new ten year low. According to the Real estate 414 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: data provided by Costar, Under nineteen thousand apartments were under 415 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: construction in the three months through September. That's thirty percent 416 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: fewer than three years ago. Thirty percent fewer. Developers say 417 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: that they can't raise the money they need to build 418 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: as many units because there's no big backers supporting him anymore. 419 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: The years since COVID nineteen have demonstrated how tangled regulation 420 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: of the industry can get. According to LA Observer, here, 421 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: so investors are taking their money to other cities. LA 422 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: has been redlined by the majority of investment community. Do 423 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: you hear that LA has been redlined by the majority 424 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: of the investment community. If the investors won't invest, then 425 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: you can't build. A developer without investors would be like 426 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: a king without clothes corner of Goldstein. He says, I'm 427 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: an optimistic developer who wants to develop, but the investment 428 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: community will not participate. Look, if these are the big 429 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: guys in the business and they can't get their investors 430 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: on board, how are you going to build a duplex 431 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: or a triplex or small apartment building. You're not And 432 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: this is a big problem. In Los Angeles, prices went up, 433 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: especially at a very rapid pace in some of the 434 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: categories most affected by tariffs all right, well, including iron 435 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: steel prices they've gone up by nine percent, copper wire 436 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: cable prices have jumped fourteen percent. California's construction industry depends 437 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: on migrant workers, and I think we've all seen what's 438 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: going on there. Around sixty one percent of construction workers 439 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: in the states, in this in this state, in California 440 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: are immigrants, and twenty six percent of those are undocumented. 441 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: So finding construction labor is hard, and it's get even 442 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: harder every time we go to a home depot, they're 443 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, throwing another fifteen to twenty these Spanish guys 444 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: out of the country. Housing production in Los Angeles County 445 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: has slowed dramatically over the decades, dropping from over seventy 446 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: thousand new units annually in the nineteen fifties to roughly 447 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: thirty thousand in the seven and eighties to fifteen thousand 448 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: in the twenty tens. So we went from seventy thousand 449 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: new units in the fifties to now fifteen thousand annually, 450 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: according to a USC. So there's little land left and 451 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: there's little desire to build. I don't know what that means. 452 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm not big enough in the real estate game to 453 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: know if that's good or bad. I think if you're 454 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: a homeowner, that's probably good, you know, because the property 455 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: value that you have is going up because you can 456 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: always tear your house down and build a you know, 457 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: five unit apartment. And I think housing prices will always 458 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: stay pretty high, especially in smaller communities, you know, like 459 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: a Culver City or Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Seal Beach, 460 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: Huntington Beach, Burbank, Pasadena, Arcadia. These small communities have their 461 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: own police force. They they respond better to all emergencies, 462 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: especially crime. The firemen are you know, they got their 463 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: own fire department most of these small communities, and they 464 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: respond quickly. They don't have the big budget, the big 465 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: headaches that LA Fire Department has. And the schools. The 466 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: schools are great too. My daughter went through Burbank schools 467 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a terrific education. I thought 468 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: her and her friends got a great education. If I 469 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: lived at LA in the city of Los Angeles, I 470 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: think I'd be hard pressed to find a school. You know. 471 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: Maybe now it's better, and I think it is, but 472 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, six fifteen sixteen years ago when I put 473 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: her into school in the place where we lived in Tarzana. 474 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: I visited the school and I didn't feel comfortable putting 475 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: her into that school. It just was not a great school. 476 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: I think LAUSD has made a remarkable comeback in the 477 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: last ten or fifteen years, though, And I've witnessed some 478 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: of these schools firsthand, and so is my daughter, and 479 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: I think they've they've really done a one eight and 480 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: they're on their way back. So maybe in the next 481 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, three four generations or maybe even less than that, 482 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: LAUSD will be a premier place to, you know, to 483 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: put your kid into school. But I know all the teachers, 484 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: the administration, you know the faculty, and you know the superintendent. 485 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: They work their ass off at l a U. 486 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 8: S D. 487 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: They really do. Every one of those people works for LAUSD. 488 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: They care about the kids, they want to teach. That's 489 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: why they're there.
