I'm hoping 30 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 2: the rain comes out a little bit early, because there's 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: nothing better. I sleep with my windows open until it 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: gets down to about forty five. That's when I close 33 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: my windows. But I like to sleep at the windows open. 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: And then if it can start raining a little early, Oh, 35 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: anything better than waking up to that bitter patter of 36 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: rain a cold day you're tucked in tight under the blankets. 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 4: I find rain to be pretty soothing too.

For that reason, I know, 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 2: I know some people do have that the seasonal disorder. 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, not me. 45 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: So that's not a me problem.

Also, 51 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: the President did sign the bill to release the Epsteam files. 52 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: What we know, what we don't know, that sort of 53 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: thing that's coming up here at eight o'clock and and 54 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, that's the only politics I have planned 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: for tonight. 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: I really don't want to do a ton of policy. 57 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: We did. 58 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: We did a lot yesterday, and I just it's just 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: depressing to me, so I don't like to do it. 60 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: So we're, you know, we're gonna give you the update. 61 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: I had a program director once they told me, and 62 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: I thought this was wonderful advice. We had a different 63 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: perspective of what it meant. But he said, we only 64 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: talk about politics when there's something to talk about. And 65 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: one of the things with this fire hose of chaos 66 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: that we have for administration is that there's always something 67 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: going on, but does it rise to the level. And 68 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: that's what the program director and I always disagreed. He 69 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: wanted to talk about, you know, every nat that farted 70 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 2: in the White House, and I just didn't care about it. 71 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, I just. 72 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: Feel like the Epstein file is a big damn deal, 73 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: and the other stuff is just sort of day to day. 74 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: And Mark probably disagrees with me on this too, because 75 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: I know that the Kobe investigation is kind of falling 76 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: apart of the Kome the trial. 77 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, it's pretty significant news. 78 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, it is, but I don't want to 79 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: I mean, basically, basically, the news is that nothing happens. 80 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: That's the news. Hey, you're in the driver's seat tonight, 81 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 4: I'm driving pal. You just buckle up. 82 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: That's all I got. 83 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: You can talk about whatever you want to talk about. 84 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: Let's talk about raising tuition. 85 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: You remember the old days in California used to be 86 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: the state where education was cheap. 87 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 4: You mean the days when you didn't have to be 88 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: rich to afford higher education those day. 89 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and California was actually doing better than most 90 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: of the other states. 91 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 5: You know. 92 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: We we said, oh, we want to make sure everybody 93 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: gets education, we want to make sure everyone has access 94 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: to it. And then we were like, wow, this is expensive. 95 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: And then we've said, how about if we don't, what 96 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: if we just stick it to the people, And then 97 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: we keep cutting budgets, and the federal government obviously keeps 98 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: cutting budgets, and then. 99 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: You see Board of regents. 100 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: Today, they said, let's just stick it to them a 101 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: little bit more. From maybec seven, do. 102 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 6: You see Board of Regions are meeting to approve a 103 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 6: plan they will raise tuition up to five percent each 104 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 6: year for new students. 105 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: They did meet and it did go up. 106 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 6: You see. Officials say this is necessary to address funding 107 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 6: gaps caused by state budget cuts, federal reductions, and inflation. 108 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 6: But student groups have been vocal in their opposition. 109 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 7: Though it wouldn't really affect us who are already in 110 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 7: the uc because we're our tuition's already set, we really 111 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 7: want to We want it to be affordable for future 112 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 7: generations because we were you know, income, and you see 113 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 7: students are so yeah. 114 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: It won't be It will not be affordable for future generations. 115 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 8: I honestly think more about the future students. My sister 116 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 8: currently is a senior at high school and she's applying, 117 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 8: and then two weeks ago she had to have a 118 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 8: conversation with my parents about how she maybe won't be 119 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 8: applying to ucs anymore because it's like, potentially we wouldn't be. 120 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: Able to afford it. 121 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 6: With the vote in the hands of the Board of 122 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 6: Regions and the possibility of tuition hikes on the horizon. 123 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 6: Students are loved to contend with higher education costs they 124 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 6: will increase over time. Many students worried this will limit 125 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 6: access to education for low income families. 126 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: What are you telling me that education is another divide 127 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: between the haves and have nots? 128 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: Who could have seen that comings. 129 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 9: It's going to have really negative effects on just what 130 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 9: university and the ucs are going to look like in 131 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 9: the upcoming years. We're definitely going to see a drop 132 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 9: in diversity and a drop in low income and first 133 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 9: generation students who already can't afford the price of ucs today, 134 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 9: and so to up that cost is going to really 135 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 9: change the demographic of the UC system. 136 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: Are you telling me that we're going to have a 137 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: wider UC system? Yeah, I mean that's but try to 138 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: have a conversation my father about how, hey, there are 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: systemic issues that are that disadvantage certain groups. No, they don't. 140 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: I just don't work as hard. Oh, he's the worst. 141 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 6: Under the potential new plan, tuition revenue directed toward financial 142 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 6: aid will drop from forty five percent to forty percent, 143 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 6: a move that has many concerns for low income families. 144 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, for students. 145 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 6: That means higher tuition costs, more loans, and less financial. 146 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: Aid to offset those costs. 147 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: But there is good news. There is good news. And 148 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: this is going to sound like I'm being snarky, and 149 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: I'm not. But you remember that old adage. This is 150 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: the kind of thing my uncle would say when he 151 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: was trying to talk down to me, go, well. 152 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 3: The world needs ditch diggers too. Oh god. Yeah. But 153 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: here's the truth. 154 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: AI is going to be replacing a lot of those 155 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: jobs that people are going to school to get the 156 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: four year degrees to do. So the jobs that are 157 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: safe are the jobs that you work with your hands 158 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: or unless you are, you know, in it and training 159 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: the AI, fixing the AI, or whatever else that is. 160 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: We're going to see a shift in the job market. 161 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: And I think it's entirely possible that we start to 162 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: see some of the trades start paying more because there's 163 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: going to be more demand for the trades. If AI 164 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: comes along and it starts advancing society, we start building 165 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: out faster and faster and faster. With every technology in 166 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: the history of mankind, that's what has happened. Every technological 167 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: advance has created faster prosperity with pickups along the way, 168 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: notably the atom bomb. But it is, it is always 169 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: pushed forward our advancement, right, and it's it is, it is, 170 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: it is sped that up. With that happening, there's going 171 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: to be more need for the trades. And so these 172 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: students that are basically being locked out of the higher education, 173 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: my guess is that many of them are going to 174 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: be seeking the trades at a time when the trades 175 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: are being undervalued on their way to being highly valued. 176 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: And the people that have the big degrees that can't 177 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: change the light bulb, they may be the ones who 178 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: are on the outside looking in. 179 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 10: To your point, I would say tradesmen are a lot 180 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 10: more attractive than real estate agent. 181 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: Oh okay, here we go, all right. I would date 182 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: an electrician. You're real to any day. Okay. I was 183 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: wondering how long this would take. It takes no time. 184 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 10: I'm always thinking with my loins. 185 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Yeah, you know, we get that. 186 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, how do we get out of this? Yeah, we're 187 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: going to get out right now, that's what we're doing. 188 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: We're going to back way before we get canned. You 189 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: think victim, You think of somebody suffering. But that's not 190 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 2: always the case. LA County just opened an investigation to 191 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: hundreds of child abuse allegations that aren't exactly what they seem. 192 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: And guess who's picking up the tab Oh it's you. 193 00:08:59,320 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 2: That's next. 194 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 195 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 2: Listen any time on demand in the iHeartRadio app. Bizarre 196 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 2: twist out of Hawkman's office. Here, the district attorney is 197 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 2: launching a criminal investigation into what what's worse than sex abuse? 198 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: Is lying about being abused? Worse than a sex abuser? 199 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: Ooh now here? Well, well it is as far as 200 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: the county is concerned, because they don't want to have 201 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: to pay out. 202 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: That's kind of what's happening. 203 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: They're investigating alleged fraudsters submitting false child sex abuse claims. 204 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: Oh oh, maybe this is the next twist in the 205 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: Epstein saga. We're just getting a preview here in La anyway. 206 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: Here's from CBSLA. 207 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: Okay, so let me unpack this for you. 208 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 11: This all involves a California law called eighty two eighteen, 209 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 11: which was signed by Governor some back in October of 210 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 11: twenty nineteen. Essentially, this built drastically changed the statute of 211 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 11: limitations for reporting child sexual abuse crimes. It extended them, 212 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 11: giving victims much more time to report these abuses. That 213 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 11: resulted in more than eleven thousand new child sex abuse 214 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 11: claims to be filed, many of them involving victimization at 215 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 11: the hands of La County employees who were working in 216 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 11: the juvenile probation system. 217 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: Ah see, this is why it's costing the county Now. 218 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 11: A county Board of supervisors approved more than four billion 219 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 11: taxpayer dollars to be paid out to all of these victims. 220 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 11: But Nathan Hawkman says this has caused numerous fraudsters to 221 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 11: try and grab some of that money by filing false 222 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 11: sex abuse claims. 223 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: He says, these fraudsters think. 224 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 11: They can get away with this because many of the 225 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 11: juvenile records that could prove or disprove claims were destroyed. 226 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 3: Oh how convenient. 227 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 11: So many of those claims are one person's word against another. 228 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 3: Okay, So then how do you prosecute them? 229 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 11: Coming back out live here to me? The DA says 230 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 11: there are some law firms that are complicit wow with 231 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 11: these fraudsters, And the DA says he is going to 232 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 11: go after these fraudsters and the law firms that are 233 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 11: helping them aggressively those fraudsters saying they're trying to take 234 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 11: money that's supposed to go to child sexual abuse victims, 235 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 11: and she but one last thing before I go, The 236 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 11: DA said, any fraudster who wants to come forward and 237 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 11: admit guilt here will not have their statements used against 238 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 11: him against them. But the DA said, this offer does 239 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 11: not apply to the law firms that helped these fraudsters 240 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 11: try and get that money. 241 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: That's it here from the desk. I'll send it back 242 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 3: to you, okay, thank you. 243 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: So if it's somebody's wording on somebody else's word because 244 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: the files were destroyed, how do you prosecute it? Look, 245 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 2: they're filing the claim for abuse, right and if you 246 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: are alleging that they're doing something wrong. Last I knew 247 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: now I could be a mistake. I could be way 248 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: off on this, And I'm not a lawyer. God knows, 249 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: I'm not a lawyer. But I thought that the burden 250 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: of proof was on the prosecution. So the prosecution is 251 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: going to have to prove then that in this case, 252 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 2: is the DA's office that that person was not abused? 253 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: How do you prove the negative if you don't have 254 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: any documentation. I mean, if there were contemporary records, you 255 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: might be able to say, okay, there's contemporary records, there's 256 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: no record of anything happening. There's there's nothing here. It 257 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: wasn't like it wasn't like it was swept under the rug. 258 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: You don't have any records at all. So all the 259 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: person has to do is say, yeah, I was abused 260 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 2: and they swept it under the rug. And you've got 261 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: got nothing to the contrary. Right, And since the county 262 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 2: is basically settling with everyone without you know, without these 263 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: people having to to take the county to court, then 264 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: how do you prove that the other way? 265 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 7: No? 266 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 3: Maybe, look, maybe the DA has got ways. 267 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: Whatever it is he did a channel is inner, Liam 268 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: Neeson Nathan Hockman said, you will be arrested, you will 269 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: be prosecuted, and you will be punished. But again I 270 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: wonder how, I wonder how, And keep this in mind, 271 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: you have law firms that are that he's alleging, were 272 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: assisting in this fraud. Now, I have no doubt that 273 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: there is fraud going in none. Is there any doubt 274 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: that somebody is trying to defraud the system. 275 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: No, I have some numbers if you're interested. Yeah, generally 276 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: it's between two percent to eight percent false allocations. You 277 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 4: mean in all sexual abuse claims or in this instance, 278 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 4: all sexual abuse claims. Okay, okay, So all right, So 279 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: in this case, it sounds like, not only do you 280 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 4: have your your numbers like Mark just brought up, but 281 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 4: you also have an easy payday. And are there unscrupulous 282 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 4: lawyers out there that would defraud the count? 283 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 3: Of course there are, but they're. 284 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 2: Also the ones that have legal experience and probably aren't 285 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: going to go down without a fight, especially when you 286 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 2: heard at the end of that report he's offering not 287 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 2: amnesty for people who come forward, but he's saying it 288 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: wouldn't be used against you. Sounds basically like amnesty, but 289 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: not for the law firms. Law firms aren't going to go, oh, 290 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: you know what you called us, here's our license. I 291 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: guess we'll just well go do door dash for the 292 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: next thirty years. That's that's not likely to be the case. 293 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: So the burden of proof on this appears to me 294 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: early on, and again I don't know what the DA has, 295 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: I have no idea, but it just seems like it's 296 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: going to be very difficult. What's frustrating is is that 297 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: as you do with these fraudsters, whether it's two to 298 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: eight percent generally speaking, or it's higher than that, because 299 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: we made it easy to do here in California, what 300 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: does that do to the people who are really survivors? 301 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: Right? What does that do to the actual victims? 302 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: And imagine if you were someone who was victimized, you 303 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: filed the claim legitimately, but you got flagged because the 304 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: records weren't on filed because they were destroyed. You've been 305 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: flagged as a potential fraudster, but you're not. And you 306 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: would know obviously if you filed that claim. You would 307 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: know if you were a fraudster. So just imagine if 308 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: you were abused, the law changes in your benefit, You 309 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: go through the proper steps to file the claim, and 310 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: then the county says, oh, no, we're going to prosecute 311 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: you and you will be arrested, prosecuted, and punished. So 312 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: not only are you a victim of sexual assault, but 313 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: now you're a victim of a flawed system. And what 314 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: does this do to anybody else that's thinking about filing 315 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: a claim? 316 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: Right? 317 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: So are we really offering justice to people's that's the concern. 318 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 3: Obviously, this was not. 319 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: The initial program, is not executed in a very bright manner. 320 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: This is failures all the way around, and once again 321 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: scammers are going to ruin. 322 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: It for everybody else. Thanks a lot, scammers, poop bags. 323 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: Hey, you know that moment when a broke little town 324 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: suddenly becomes the hottest date that Silicon Valley's ever had, 325 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: twenty two thousand acres. It's a billionaire built utopia and 326 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: enough drama for a mini series. A slow motion land 327 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: grab is happening, and I'll tell you where next. Chris Merrill. 328 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: I am six forty.

Oh, 333 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: I don't like it. 334 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: I do like the winter. I like it colder, I 335 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: like it when the rain comes. I like when we 336 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: have a nice storm, all that stuff. But I hate driving. 337 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: Oh God, I get old and I can't drive in 338 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: the dark anymore. 339 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: Oh. 340 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: I am a menace. I am such a menace on 341 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: the road. So just know when we wrap up here 342 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: at ten o'clock. Maybe just avoid you know, general Burbank area, 343 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 2: just just right, you know, for your own safety and 344 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 2: for your children. We were just discussing in the last 345 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: segment here about the District Attorney's office launching a criminal 346 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: investigation into hundreds of claims of childhood sexual abuse, but 347 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: they say appear to be frauduling. However, it's very difficult 348 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: because they don't have any records. The records were all destroyed. 349 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: So I got a little feedback here on the old 350 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: talkback for people listening on the iHeartRadio app. 351 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 4: I believe they're looking to scare people off from doing 352 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 4: further claims. 353 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: They don't care about the money they already spent. California 354 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: never does. 355 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well it's expensive. I mean, so far, what 356 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: do they paid out four billion dollars so far alone 357 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 2: and now additional settlements later this year reaching eight hundred 358 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: and twenty eight million dollars for over four hundred more claims. Wow, 359 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: well that's a lot of money for somebody to entice 360 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: them to maybe make some maybe make some frauduling claims 361 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 2: like oh, you know, it's a risk. I got away 362 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: with it during little bit. Maybe I'll get away with 363 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: it here too. Yeah. Absolutely, it's a lot of money 364 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 2: to be flashing in front of somebody and making them 365 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: think that they could get a little free payday, quick 366 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: and easy free payday. Let's go to northern California. There's 367 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: a there's a town there at the edge of the 368 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: Bay Area, over twenty two thousand acres and basically got 369 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 2: bought up slowly by billionaires. And now they're saying, this 370 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: is our town, and we don't like the poores. This 371 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: is from Citia, Sacramento. 372 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: Cournia Forever calls it the next great American city and 373 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 5: their big dreams put a bullseye target on Solano County's 374 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 5: smallest city. 375 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 12: We have deemed the California Forever application. 376 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 5: Is complete, so Soon's city announced Tuesday, California Forever has 377 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 5: now officially submitted a formal application for Sassoon to and 378 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 5: their entire project, growing the city by more than ten times. 379 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: In June. 380 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 5: There was pushback when the annexation proposal was first approved. 381 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: So basically you had this area outside of Susan City 382 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: and then they they started to build it up in 383 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: their image of what a utopia is going to look like. 384 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a lot of diversity there and they 385 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: want it and so and now they're going to the 386 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: city and they're going, hey, city, you're broke, you meet 387 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 2: us now, annex us in and then they basically just 388 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 2: take over today. 389 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 5: City Manager Brett Prebula says the next steps are for 390 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 5: the city to get their hands on the application and 391 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 5: get to work and the money, diving into the draft 392 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 5: proposal and seeing if it meets the needs of Sasoon City. 393 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 5: That could take weeks even months, but Prabula says the 394 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 5: city is pleased so far with California Forever's plan. 395 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 12: So rising tides lift all boats has been a real 396 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 12: reality that they have embraced strongly. So that's one to 397 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 12: the stop at one hundred and fifty thousand residents to 398 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 12: check in officially to get further approval required to move 399 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 12: to the second phase of the development after twenty years. 400 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: Is an important factor that they heard. 401 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 5: California Forever wants to build a new city of walkable 402 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 5: neighborhoods for four hundred thousand Californians. 403 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: Okay, this is where it gets juicy. 404 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 5: With it a shipyard and what they say will be 405 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 5: America's largest manufacturing park. I spoke with CEO Yan Ceramic 406 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 5: about that in July. 407 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 13: You provide a pleasure where all of these companies that 408 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 13: are doing incredible work in Silicon Valley can manufacture things 409 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 13: in California instead of sending all of those jobs to 410 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 13: tex Hussle reporta. 411 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so you got billionaires and want to create a 412 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 2: giant manufacturing center the Bay Area. I think, oh, this 413 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: is going to work out wonderfully. And now are you 414 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 2: going to pay enough money for people to afford to 415 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: live there? No, of course not. Why would we do that? 416 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 2: So that is so basically they strong arm the city 417 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: into annexing their mini city, right. They bought up this 418 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: massive area adjacent to the city, and then they said, 419 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 2: we got all the money as they're going broke, you know, 420 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: not for notting. But if you went ahead and made 421 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: us part of a city, that would be an awful 422 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: lot of money that you could probably bring in Quesse. 423 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: Then we might have to have a little say so 424 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 2: into what goes on in the city. And they were 425 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: actually kind of ruthless about acquiring that land in the 426 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: first place. 427 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 5: Tuesday, Soamic posted on x that their plan has evolved 428 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 5: since twenty twenty four, when at first to the new 429 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 5: city's fate was going to be in the hands of 430 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 5: Solano County voters in the November election, California Forever pulled 431 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 5: the ballot measure and went back to the drawing board. 432 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they knew that the people were not going 433 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 2: to say, sure, give the billionaires. 434 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 3: Whatever they want. 435 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 5: Today's ceramic writes, the land use plan is the same 436 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 5: as our twenty twenty four plan, but after a year 437 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 5: and a half years of work by one hundred plus people, 438 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 5: much more detailed and ready to build. 439 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: The plan also has a new home. 440 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 5: So now this an extension of an existing city, not 441 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 5: a new community. 442 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 3: See. 443 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 2: So they build the new community, and then they say 444 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: to the city, you know, we've got all the money 445 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: because we're billionaires. We just spent nearly a billion dollars 446 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 2: to get all of this land. So why don't you 447 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: whyon't you bring us in? 448 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 3: Now? 449 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 5: What do you say to people who don't agree with 450 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 5: this approach, who wish that this had been left maybe 451 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 5: as a voter choice on the ballot. 452 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. 453 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: This idea of voters knowing what's best for themselves, it's 454 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: just silly. 455 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 3: Billionaires really know what's better for the voters. 456 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 12: So I think for me, it goes back to everyone 457 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 12: said they wanted them to go through the normal process, right, 458 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 12: we are making them go through the normal process. 459 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 460 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: Opponents are saying that there have been a number of 461 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: hardball tactics, including get this, a half billion dollar lawsuit 462 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: against farmers who refused to sell their land. They accused 463 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: the farmers of working as a monopoly to deny the 464 00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: billionaires the ability to take over the land. And here's 465 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: the delio. Suppose that you are a farmer. I don't 466 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 2: know if you've noticed, but farming ain't easy nowadays. But 467 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: you probably have a lot of people there that I 468 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: don't know, family farms or maybe even have some corporate farms, 469 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 2: and they're ekeing out of profit right now. And they go, no, 470 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: we don't want to sell This is our entire life, 471 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: our livelihoods, this is who we. 472 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 3: Are, it's our identity. 473 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: And they go, yeah, but we're billionaires and if you 474 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 2: don't sell it to us, we are going to bury 475 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: you in so much legal nonsense that you will not 476 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: be able to afford to pay the lawyers to stop 477 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: us from taking your land. Yeah, And they go, oh, no, no, no, 478 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: we're just going to save the bet. We're helping everyone out. 479 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 2: Look how great we are. But there is there is 480 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: one other hope for the non billionaire neighbors that don't 481 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 2: necessarily want to be steamrolled on this, and that is 482 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: it's still California. So the annexation here that the city 483 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: is looking at that the billionaires want to do has 484 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: to undergo environmental reviews and consultant reports. Final approval rests 485 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: with the Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission, all bureaucracy 486 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: at its finest. So according to some analysts, this is 487 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: still years, maybe even decades away, and some of the 488 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 2: billionaires that want to create this little utopia of their 489 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 2: own in the Bay Area on the on the coast, 490 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 2: they will likely be dead by the time it happens. 491 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: So there you go. Who knew all that regulation might 492 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: come in handy? I wouldn't have guessed it. But you know, 493 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: for the people in Solano County, they're probably somewhat thankful. 494 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 2: Right now, all right, you peel the sunscreen off your dashboard, 495 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: just in time, because now your window is fogging up. 496 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: Your blow out is going to turn in to a 497 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 2: perm and the dry spell is over. How bad it's 498 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: going to be that is next time Chris merril KFI 499 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 2: AM six forty.

It was an absolute disaster. We loved it. 507 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: It was just fantastic. A lot of feedback from people 508 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: as we were talking about the greatest guitar riffs of 509 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 2: all time, but of course we can't put those in 510 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 2: the podcast. So the entire podcast I was like Frankenstein's Monster, 511 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: and I think it's kind of funny actually, So if 512 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: you get a chance, check that out. I think we 513 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 2: keyed into something with that because I got more feedback 514 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 2: than I usually do, and I, oh, yeah, I don't 515 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: solicit feedback. I don't have any social media tied to 516 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 2: the station, but people found ways to reach out to 517 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 2: me to suggest guitar riffs. Yeah, and colleague of ours, 518 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 2: Eric was listening and he called in. He made some 519 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 2: suggestions too. 520 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 3: I love that. 521 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: No, it's a good one. I think music ties people 522 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: together better than anything else. So it was it was fun. 523 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: But yeah, the podcast is great because it's just it's like, 524 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: what were they doing here? 525 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: It's a mess. Yeah, it was total disaster. It was. 526 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: It was fantastic. I love when things get a little loose, 527 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 2: I really do. PD hates it, but I love when 528 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 2: things get a little bit loose. I do also love 529 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: little rain. I love it more than a little bit. 530 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 3: Roder. 531 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: You worked in Seattle for a long time. More than 532 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: a little rain in Seattle? When I enjoy Seattle or 533 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: would it be too much? 534 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 3: Well, I moved for a reason. I was kind of 535 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: done with it. I like it in l A. Yeah. 536 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: The the program director, Boss. 537 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 2: Long, he he was in Seattle too, and I remember 538 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: having conversations with him when he was talking about Seattle 539 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 2: and he said, he said, it's horrible. 540 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 3: He says, it's terrible. 541 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: What you don't get is you know it rains, but 542 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 2: you don't understand when they say it rains a lot. 543 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 3: It rained so much. Everything is wet. 544 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter you walk into the house, even if 545 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: you tear your shoes off at the door. It doesn't matter. 546 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 2: Everything is soaked. It's always wet. Everything is always wet. 547 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 3: I don't really mind that. 548 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: The thing that made me want to leave Seattle the most, 549 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 4: pardon me, is that everything is becoming more unaffordable than ever, like, 550 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 4: at least as unaffordable as La, and all the places 551 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 4: with character are being demolished and replaced with giant condo 552 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 4: buildings with a with a retail floor at ground level. 553 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 4: And it's just the city's character has gone inconvenient. La 554 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 4: is full of old stuff that I love. That is true. 555 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: There's a lot of character in this town. I think 556 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 4: that's what people who aren't here don't get. 557 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 3: You know. 558 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 2: They look at California and go, oh it's the politics, 559 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 2: or oh it's they go, oh it's it's La. So 560 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: it's all fake people, or it's it's it's Beverly Hills, 561 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 2: or it's Malibu, or it's Orange County, or they see 562 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: Hollywood and whatever else. There's so much more that I 563 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 2: think people just miss, you know what I mean. 564 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 3: That's why Randy Newman loved La.

It made 568 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 4: me incredibly sad that that was lost in the fire. 569 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 4: But I love all the old stuff in La. 570 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 2: Yeah. 571 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 10: Do you know Will Rogers The little tiny park opposite 572 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 10: the Beverly Hills Hotel. 573 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 574 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 10: That's the park where George Michael famously got arrested by 575 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 10: the undercover cop. 576 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 3: Okay, here we go.
