1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: And we continue at two oh five in the afternoon

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: on the John Phillips Show. Mister Randy wangs across the glass.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: John.

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: It's baseball opening Day, so big love to all the

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: baseball fans out there. Go Giants, Go A's, Go Angels,

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: Go Dodgers. The Angels, by the way, are playing the

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: Houston Astros. It's zero to zero in the third.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: How exciting keeping track of that.

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get the television in the

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: studio on the game. I've got it on Sherry Shepherd

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: or something.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you. Hey, what channel it's on?

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Or B where the remote controls are for any of

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: the TVs in this building?

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? You're stuck?

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: telephone number one. Eight hundred two two two five two

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: two two. Let's go to Adam in Santa Rosa. Adam, Hello, Hey,

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: how you doing, guys?

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: Good?

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: So I was calling about the gentleman who had the

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: seizure and then drove again and crashed again, and you

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: guys were wondering or pondering the scenario. Whatnot? I myself

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: have seizures. I had him from two to eleven, and

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: they came back when I was twenty five, So I

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 3: take two different times of medication twice a day. Now

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: I drive. I have to for my job, and the

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: State of California won't let me go on I can't

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: get disability, So it's like I'm stuck in a circle

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: of having to drive because I have to work so

31
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: like and have the medication so I can stay alive.

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: My seizures are massive. There is no going about my day.

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: Once I have one. I don't have multiple day I

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: have one, and I bite through my cheek by pieces

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: off my tongue, so I usually when I wake up,

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: I have to crawl into the shower to bomb all

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: the blood that I've swallowed. But again I'm forced to drive.

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that this gentleman had a season and was

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: able to drive at all. Again afterwards, even move, I mean,

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: once I'm done, I face planted. I have scars on

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: my face, on my head, so I don't know how

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: he was able to move more. And if someone was

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: even with them in a vehicle, why would they not

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: take over and stop it? So I don't understand. But

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: that's the scenario about why people must drive when they

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: have seizures. They don't. You know, sometimes you just really

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: don't have a choice. I live alone. I've lived alone

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: for about fifteen years. I there is no offiction of

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: me having anybody else drive me, and I gotta work.

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: Well, what does it make sense to me is why

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: the state is schizophrenic about it. If you're not going

52
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: to give driver's licenses to people who have seizures, then

53
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: they need to be able to go on disability because

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: they can't drive themselves to their job and they can't

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: get around things that.

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: You need to be able to do.

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: Right.

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: My neurologists had stated that basically, you know, if you

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: have one, they don't want you to drive again for

60
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: like six months. Sometimes other times, like in my scenario,

61
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: they didn't do that. They allowed me to drive again.

62
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: And I think the reason why some would get disability

63
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: is because they have say they have a seizure, they

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: get up five minutes, or they have another one. They

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: get up and an hour they have another one. But

66
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: there's any bus like myself where I have a massive

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 3: one and I go down, I don't breathe about five

68
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: minutes convolse massively, and I am surprised they don't allow

69
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: me to because for my scenario, I could die each

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: time I have one. Like I said, I swallow massive

71
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: amounts of blood. I've splattered my skull on the concrete

72
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: and at the Corona House had posting tests of syndrome

73
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: for three weeks and I was after I was able

74
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: to make it to the hospital because again I live alone.

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: But I yeah, you're right, I have no idea why

76
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: they weren't allowed to happen when they feel free to

77
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: give out money for all the kinds of things. I

78
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: would love it if my taxes came back to being

79
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: where I could actually go in this ability. But I'm

80
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: forty years old, and like again two to eleven, and

81
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: back when I was twenty five years old, they came back,

82
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: and my dollars have no idea why they came back.

83
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: No scarring on my brain for knowing neurosnapsus fire or

84
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: I mean get eaten away. There's no scarring. My brain's

85
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: architectually perfect, they said, so completely dark and until they

86
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: actually able to do tests on a live brain going

87
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: through a seizure, we're not really going to know much

88
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: more about them. Well, I'll tell you right, they are

89
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: pretty schizophrenic about it.

90
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: I have no medical training, I have no background in

91
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: any kind of hard science at all, but I did

92
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: just read that Elon Muss book, and it seems like

93
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: this is one of these things that AI is going

94
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: to be able to solve. It may not be today,

95
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: but at some point in the future, this is exactly

96
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the type of problem that AI is meant to figure out.

97
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm stuck with the belief that the

98
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: only way I'm going to leave this planet is more

99
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: than likely a seizure. I don't think I'm gonna make

100
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: it till old age. I think of Caesars was gonna

101
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: end up taking me out.

102
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope that AI figures it out and you

103
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: can fix it and live a long, healthy life.

104
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: I really hope.

105
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: So I appreciate that.

106
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for the call start. We appreciate it,

107
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: all right.

108
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: One of the stories that we've been covering is the

109
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: Capital NX project. This is a project to give the

110
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: state capital a faceleft. That's going to cost a fortune,

111
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of secrecies surrounding the entire project.

112
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: In fact, they have NDAs, so everybody working on the project,

113
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: even the construction workers can't talk about it. It's been

114
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: four years since the state has said how much this

115
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: project will cost. We've seen all of these secret blueprints

116
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: where they're putting in pathways so the state senators and

117
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: assembly people can run away from reporters like Ashley Zavalla.

118
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: And they made the mistake of promising Ashley Zavala that

119
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: they were going to be more transparent about this when

120
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: they haven't been. And Zavalla's had enough and she's the

121
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: best in the business for more on the continued struggle

122
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: over just trying to find out how much the Capital

123
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Annex project is going to cost. Here is KC or

124
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: A three and Ashley Zavalla.

125
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 6: Backtracking on promises to be more transparent.

126
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 7: We're taking a.

127
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 6: Live look at the state capital tonight. California lawmakers will

128
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 6: leave for spring break tomorrow without telling taxpayers how much

129
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: they're paying for the Capital Annex. That's the at least

130
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 6: one billion dollar office building under construction right now behind

131
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 6: the state Capitol.

132
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 8: Case you are a three political director, astutes of Alla

133
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 8: tried to talk with project leaders before they left town.

134
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 9: Do you have time to just stop and talk to

135
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 9: us about the Capital NX project.

136
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 7: Capital NX Project officials.

137
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 9: You said earlier that we would have you would be

138
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 9: more transparent, refusing to I.

139
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Have to go take a picture. Those two are so cranky.

140
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: They made the mistake of doing the first interview with her.

141
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: And these are the legislative leaders that are associated with

142
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: the Capital NX project. A John Blaird, who is a senator,

143
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: and I forget the assembly woman's name, block up a

144
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: checko Blanca.

145
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 9: Pachecko, refusing to stop and talk. The two lawmakers in

146
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 9: charge of the project, Assembly Member of Blanca Pacheco and

147
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 9: State Senator John Laird, breaking their promise to be more transparent,

148
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 9: a promise they made in this interview in December.

149
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 8: This is the first of what we think will be many.

150
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 6: We are available in our offices, we are available in

151
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: our committee rooms, we are.

152
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: We're available anytime you want to talk to us, Ashley,

153
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 1: except for whenever you want to talk to us. Why

154
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: in the world are they picking a fight with Ashley Zavalla,

155
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Because there are some reporters who will just let it go.

156
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: She is not that person.

157
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 7: We are open, we are transparent, and we're here for

158
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 7: the public.

159
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 9: For years, they have been secretive about the ongoing construction

160
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 9: of the new office building for lawmakers and the future

161
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 9: governor of California. As we exposed in twenty twenty four,

162
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 9: non disclosure agreements are legally forcing thousands of people involved

163
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 9: to keep quiet.

164
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: In fact, the last time that she did this story,

165
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: she literally went to the construction site and all the

166
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: constructions like what project.

167
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: Well, they signed it too, leaving.

168
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 9: The public info to only come from these two lawmakers.

169
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 9: It's been at least four years since project leaders updated

170
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 9: taxpayers on the cost. We file the Legislative open records

171
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 9: after quest in August for the monthly reports we know

172
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 9: lawmakers are getting from the main construction company, Turner, including

173
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 9: their estimated cost to finish the building.

174
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 7: The Joint Rules Committee laired and Pacheko Overseas spent months

175
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 7: delaying that request, then this month replied to us in writing, quote,

176
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 7: the public interest served by not making the record public

177
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 7: clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosing the record.

178
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: What okay?

179
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: This from the people who claim to be transparent, And

180
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: this is what goes on in California all the time.

181
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: It's like with the fires. We're doing everything we can

182
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: expedite the process so that these people can rebuild and

183
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: move back into their homes, and they do everything possible

184
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: to make sure that doesn't happen. But they say over

185
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: and over and over again that they're expediting the process. Well,

186
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: we're now in a moment where words mean nothing because

187
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: the actions have to match the words, and if the

188
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: actions don't match the words, then the words are hollow.

189
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 9: The public interest served by not making the record public

190
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 9: clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosing the record.

191
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 9: The leaders went on to say.

192
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: That we're serving the public by not telling them anything

193
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: about this sounds good to me.

194
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 9: The leaders went on to say they would give us

195
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 9: these key cost records once the building is finished in

196
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 9: the fall of twenty twenty seven.

197
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: I will tell you how much it costs once we're

198
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: done building it. How does that make any sense? In

199
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: a one party state, they can get away with it.

200
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 7: I confronted both at the state capitol this.

201
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: Week, right, warning it's about to get ugly.

202
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 7: It's at the state capitol.

203
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 9: This week, right, But you've promised to provide an update

204
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 9: to taxpayers on this project from the beginning of the year.

205
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 7: You're about to take your spring break, and only a

206
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 7: single love date one. We're going to be doing it

207
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 7: on a forty three basis, don't you guys? Have taxpayers

208
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 7: deserve to know whatssability? I need you guys often.

209
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 9: I followed assembly Member Pacheco into a packed elevator, where

210
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 9: she tried to avoid me. Assembly Member Pataco, I have

211
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 9: a question about the Capitol Annex project because you've been

212
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 9: rejected my interview request for the last three I mean

213
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 9: really the last three months. I've asked you three times,

214
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 9: So I did.

215
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: You an update?

216
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 7: In December?

217
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 10: We had an interview and.

218
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 7: You promised to be more transparent and you said you

219
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 7: would you.

220
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 8: Know you haven't.

221
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: Yes, I have, and this is what they do.

222
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: Oh, we're very transparent, but you haven't given us any information.

223
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: But we're very transparent. We're transparently not giving you any information.

224
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 7: You know you haven't. What what update have you provided?

225
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 9: Taxpayer provided you all the our requests that you.

226
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 7: Wanted, and we know you haven't.

227
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: They just say whatever. They're not used to this.

228
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Imagine if the entire Capital Press Corps was like Savalla,

229
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: this state would be a very different place.

230
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 9: Also avoiding me, Senator laired I followed him up the

231
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 9: steps and down the hall He also leads the State

232
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 9: Senate's path.

233
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: This is exactly why they want the annex with the

234
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: secret tunnels that Ashley can't get into.

235
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 9: Also avoiding me, Senator Layir, I followed him up the

236
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 9: steps and down the hall. He also leads the State

237
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 9: Senate's powerful budget committee. You we waited for him to

238
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 9: finish taking his picture before trying one more time.

239
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 7: Senator Laird, you have nothing to say.

240
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 9: You guys are leaving for spring break and you won't

241
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 9: even get the public an update on this building.

242
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 7: Senator Laird, we have given you.

243
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: We have responded to your Laura request.

244
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 7: We have denying it.

245
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: Oh she's great, and you know they hate her so much.

246
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 7: We have No, you rejected the main part.

247
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 9: No, you did not give me every main thing.

248
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 7: You rejected the main part.

249
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 9: You rejected the main part of the Laura request, which is.

250
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: Is this casey or is this reality TV? Boy? He

251
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: sounds like a cranky old man, doesn't he.

252
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 9: Yep, you rejected the main part of the lawa request,

253
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 9: which is the turner contract and the monthly updates in

254
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 9: the forecast on the.

255
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Way, which I have never been given to people until

256
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: construction is done.

257
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 8: We shouldn't have to wait until the end of the

258
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 8: construction period or perhaps longer.

259
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 7: A junt McGeorge School of Law professor.

260
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: The thing that's so wild about this is why is

261
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: this a secret? What exactly are they protecting here? And

262
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: it could be that you've got a sweetheart deal with

263
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: a contractor that's connected to somebody who made this project happen.

264
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: It could be that the bidding process wasn't necessarily fair,

265
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: but by keeping all of it a secret, they're just

266
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: adding more and more speculation to this.

267
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: When they act weird like this, there's usually something there.

268
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 8: Have to wait until the end of the construction period

269
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 8: or perhaps longer.

270
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 9: A junct mcgorge School of Law professor Chris mccayley, questioning

271
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 9: how lawmakers are trying to keep cost records under wraps.

272
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: You imagine in the private sector a developer saying to

273
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: someone that wants to build a building that I can't

274
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: tell you how much this is going to cost you.

275
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: What you do is you tell them how much it's

276
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: going to cost, and then you say, oh, it's going

277
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: to cost you more. Yeah, that's a story I've always

278
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: gotten and it's going to take you way longer than

279
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: we said it would that too.

280
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 8: I think that the official, the state officials here are

281
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 8: misapplying exemptions and that this information should in fact be

282
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 8: readily disclosable.

283
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 9: Governor Gavin Newsom will be out of office by the

284
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 9: time the building is ready. He's not involved in the

285
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 9: project's day to day decision making. At a press conference Wednesday,

286
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 9: he told me taxpayers should not have to wait so

287
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 9: long for those records.

288
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 10: As a taxpayer, I'm I'm a taxpayer and governor you

289
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 10: know reasonably, you know, good taxpayer.

290
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: And so no, was that a joke. He's so weird

291
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: it's hard to tell.

292
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: You really got to only talk to him when he

293
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: has a drink or two and some oysters in him,

294
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: he's a little more fun. What do you think he's

295
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: like five drinks, usually screaming the name Jesse Waters, good.

296
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 7: Textpayer, and so no, I think it's not.

297
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 10: You're hardly This is an argumentative frame and it's the

298
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 10: least I think you deserve it, as I said last time.

299
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: And then oh the video cut off, because of course

300
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: it did. But he goes on to say, well, last time,

301
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: I told you I'd look into it, and my people

302
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: told me we did. But let me run that up

303
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: the food chain one more time. That's what they always do. Oh,

304
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: we'll get back to you. But the longer this goes on,

305
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: not that that many people pay attention, but it doesn't

306
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: make anybody in state government look good as to why

307
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: they keep this thing a secret, specifically when it comes

308
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: to how much does it cost? And is this even

309
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: necessary when there is so much empty office space in

310
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: downtown Sacramento because the unions for the state workers are

311
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: refusing to go back. Well and think about this. Think

312
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: about how often you get asked a question like this.

313
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: You buy a new car, Oh, how much did you pay?

314
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: I just reserved a room at the Mandalay Bay in

315
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. How much did you pay? It's not an

316
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: out of bounds question. I mean, look, I guess there

317
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: are certain circumstances where it's impolite, But under normal circumstances,

318
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: it's a perfectly acceptable question. And when you're spending taxpayer dollars,

319
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: it is of course an acceptable question. And there's an

320
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: easy answer. This is the price tag. This is what

321
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: it's going to cost. And if the answer is I

322
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: can't tell you, then there's something there. That's the very

323
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: latest with Ashley Zavala and her crusade to try to

324
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: find out for you, the California taxpayer, how much the

325
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: Capital Annex project will cost, and why are you all

326
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: keeping it a secret? Eight hundred two two two five

327
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: two two is the telephone number one, eight hundred two

328
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: two two five two two two.

329

00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: out in the Antonio Viragosa interview.

336
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 10: You're out of my shot.

337
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: That's true. Made someone giggle. They shot that thing with

338
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: his crew that's here. I wonder if they're gonna put

339
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: that on the YouTube's they should? They should. If they do,

341
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,960

342
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: he loves the peanut eminem so much. As soon as

343

367
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: All these Gavin interviews. I listened to them while I'm

368
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: doing my cooking on Sundays. I couldn't just sit there

369
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: and watch them. That would be tough. I know people

370
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: who do their exercise routine to the show, and if

371
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: a podcast that we drop is a few minutes shorter

372
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: than they usually are, they go, hey, wait a minute,

373
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: I had to cheat on the exercise bike this morning

374
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: because you guys were two minutes short. If we were

375
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: two minutes short, it's probably because someone had to get

376
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: on the cruise ship.

377
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: All right, tomorrow's program.

383
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: two two. Well, we've been covering the saga of sewer

384
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: Lady all week long. This is a story that was

385
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 1: broken by Matthew Seedorf of Fox eleven when he got

386
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: a tip from his buddy and our buddy, Juan Nala,

387
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: the Clean La with Me guy. He was cleaning up

388
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: a street in South LA and saw a woman open

389
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: up what was a doghouse on top of a manhole

390
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: and crawl into a storm drain. And at that point

391
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: Seedorf went out there filmed this. That video went everywhere.

392
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: We made sure to cover it. It embarrassed the city

393
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: so much that immediately sanitation grews were sent out there

394
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: and it was declared a hasmatt seene, a hot zone.

395
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: They sealed the manhole with concrete because the manhole cover

396
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: was stolen and sold and sold for scrap. And now,

397
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: finally days later, the current Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, if.

398
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: You're feeling down, if you're feeling blue, let's get help.

399
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: For you, is reacting to the saga of Sewer Lady,

400
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: and once again we are joined by Fox eleven's Matthew Seedorf.

Speaker 1: Some funky music for ten pm? Is that Sewer Ladies

403
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: theme song? I think that's the opening theme for Goodnight La.

404
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 11: I'm Christine Devine. Tonight follow up to a story you

405
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 11: saw first on Fox eleven. A woman living inside a

406
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 11: storm drain in South la and now Mayor Karen Bass

407
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 11: is reacting, calling it a tragedy. Fox Loves Matthew Pseudo

Speaker 5: Wal Christine.

411
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 12: Since that first story, I've been getting messages from other

412
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 12: people with concerns about possibly more people living under storm drains.

413
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: See this is how it works. This guy gets so

414
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: many tips. You do one story about a sewer lady,

415
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: He's getting emails constantly about other sewer men, other sewer women,

416
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: other sewer people. I wonder if the sewer people have

417
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: elected sewer elected a sewer mayor.

418
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 12: Possibly more people living under storm drains. Neighbors describe this

419
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 12: area as a mess new alarming images across South LA.

420
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 12: This looks like it was a mattress or something.

421
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: The key word of that sentence was was or something.

422
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 12: Just blocks from where a woman was found living in

423
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 12: a storm drain. I'm from what I'm like, how does

424
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 12: this area of LA compared to Guatemala?

425
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 10: Oh?

426
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: Man, God, so we've got clean La with me from Ecuador.

427
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: Ecuador is cleaner than La. This guy's from Guatemala. Guatemala's

428
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: cleaner than La. What the hell we need some mister clean?

429
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 5: I'm how does this area of LA compared to Guatemala?

430
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Seriously, if you're running for mayor, just campaign on. I

431
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: will pick up the garbage. Wan Nala should run for

432
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: mayor city council at least.

433
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 5: How does this area of La compared to Guatemala?

434
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 10: Oh?

435
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 5: May God better of this.

436
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: There were people.

437
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 12: Living in the storm drain next to your house. Okay,

438
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 12: you don't seem that surprised.

439
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 2: It's South La.

440
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 7: It's kind of l nor boy.

441
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 13: I guess.

442
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: People are so defeated they're just giving up.

443
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 5: Tense orb Well, and what.

444
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: Do you think is the more common denyinator in specifically

445
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: this neighborhood. These are people that voted for Bass or

446
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: these are people that did not vote at all.

447
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 2: Of those who voted, they voted for Bass, but how

448
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: many of those actually voted?

449
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 12: It's true, tense rbs and philth filled the area of

450
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 12: a homeless even tap into utility poles for power or

451
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 12: street bites are dark.

452
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: I do not understand how we can't enforce that very

453
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: obvious crime that is a fire hazard in a city

454
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: where the fire department is overworked and understaffed, because it's

455
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: a crime associated with poverty.

456
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: I thought we got rid of that guy, put more

457
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: attention in this area. But you will visit on on

458
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: our areas like gardena hartor Lingwood. Man is clean, no harmless,

459
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: not prowling.

460
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: You know it's bad when lynn Wood is being described

461
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: as the clean, safe alternative to South La.

462
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: Time to move for this aria is like a maybe

463
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: a Netflix series or something.

464
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 14: On Monday, Fox Loven exclusively exposed the storm drained shelter

465
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 14: to say, has Matt Cruz declared it a hot zone?

466
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 14: And now today a mental health team's offered help. But

467
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 14: the woman seemed to just keep walking.

468
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: Of course, because that's how our outreach works. Somebody who's

469
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: obviously in a crisis, Hey, would you like some help today?

470
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: Boy? The high cost of housing is a bitch.

471
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: With all the reforms that we have, with the care

472
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: cord and conservatorships, how is it not possible to get

473
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: this woman off the street.

474
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: Can't do it.

475
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: They could conservator Brittany for a decade, but you can't

476
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: do it to sewer lady.

477
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 12: And just before the drain was sealed, a witness says

478
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 12: another man climbed out.

479
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: She did say she had a roommate, Well, it sounds

480
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: like she has many roommates. Maybe it's like Three's company.

481
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 5: Las Sanitation Workers didn't want.

482
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: To come and knock on our manhull. I wonder who

483
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: the mister roper is down there.

484
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 12: Las sanitation workers didn't want to speak on camera, but

485
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 12: they say the mayor's office put out a directive this

486
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 12: week to go out and check in storm drains for

487
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 12: possibly people inside and to clear them out.

488
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 8: Oh, it is such a tragedy to find out that

489
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 8: there are people in our city living in storm drains.

490
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: You're the mayor.

491
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: This is your number one issue, number one, not two,

492
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: not three, not for number one, and you failed. You

493
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: think in the last four years she'd have somebody working

494
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: for her check the sewers.

495
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 5: The mayor now responding, saying a drain is sealed.

496
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 7: And so I think that people use a variety of

497
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 7: different strategies to hide. That is probably by far the most.

498
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: Tragic that I have ever heard of.

499
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 5: If we just go down Grand you think we'll see

500
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 5: more people living under.

501
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no hesitation at all.

502
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially because it's well, some in South LA feel helpless.

503
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 10: It's weird because I mean USA, for me, USA is

504
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 10: the best country in.

505
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: The warm Apparently Guatemala is better.

506
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, not that neighborhood.

507
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: So there you go.

508
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 2: The latest update on the sewer saga in South l A.

509
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: Well, let's move on to another city having a very

510
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: difficult time staying clean. That, of course, is the city

511
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: of Dumpy. You mean Oakland.

512
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 7: You know this has really been an issue for the

513
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 7: City of Dumpy. Excuse me.

514
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: In the City of Dumpy, they are thinking about deploying

515
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: drones to find out where all the illegal dumping is

516
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: happening and then have the drums call three one one

517
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: after they press one for English for more.

518
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: Here's kpix in the bay.

519
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 15: So this pile and the pile further down have popped

520
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 15: up recently, probably in the last week.

521
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 13: Antil Troy is a longtime Oakland resident and community activists

522
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 13: and says the issue of illegal dumping is one of

523
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 13: the most pressing problems the city needs to address.

524
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 15: It's really a public health issue, aside from the obvious

525
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 15: trash and blight. I mean we're talking about psychologically what

526
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 15: it does to.

527
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 7: You, He says.

528
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 13: The city just cleaned up this stretch of eighty fifth

529
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 13: Street a few weeks ago, and already the trash is back.

530
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's people dumping trash or rotting

531
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: meat or homeless encampments being cleared, they just come right back. Well,

532
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: and it's like the long line theory, where if you're

533
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: walking past the place and you see a line out

534
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: the door, some people just are like, well, I got

535
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: to see what's going on here. No matter where you

536
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: live in the Bay, there are some people as they

537
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: drive through Oakland, they see how filthy it is, then like, well,

538
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: I might as well pile on.

539
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 15: I drive past this every day, and I haven't.

540
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: What you tolerate, you get more of. That is true.

541
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 15: I drive past this every day and I haven't submitted

542
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 15: it to three one one. I don't have the time

543
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 15: to go around and document all of these dumping sites.

544
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 15: It's actually like a shore.

545
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 13: That's where some council members think AI trash detecting drones

546
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 13: from Airbits could help.

547
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: High speeds up to forty five miles per hour and

548
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: flying at a height of up to four hundred feet.

549
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 13: This is Airbits founder Brian Johnson in a YouTube video

550
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 13: posted by the company where he describes how the drones work.

551
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 13: The drone will fly over city streets to detect illegal

552
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 13: dumping sites.

553
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: It's not gonna have to fly very far. Nope. I

554
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: love that has the patriotic music under.

555
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 13: It, measure them, describe what's in the trash piles, then

556
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 13: report it to three to one one for public works

557
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 13: crews to clean up.

558
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 1: But wait, even if Noel Gayo calls three one one,

559
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: they don't show up. No, they're just going to collect

560
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of information that they're not going to do

561
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: anything with. This doesn't stop the insane hold up of

562
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: the baracracy in the city of Oakland.

563
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: Shanghy was a soothsayer. The baracracy is real because.

564
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: What we found out from reporting earlier this year is

565
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: that let's say you complain to your member of the

566
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: city council that there's a giant pile of illegal garbage.

567
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: It's been dumped unless he uses his own staffers to

568
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: pick it up, which Noel Gaio does and some of

569
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: the other council people do, they can't call sanitation. Every

570
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: request has to go through the assidimy the city administrator

571
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: justin Johnson, and so this one person has to personally

572
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: approve every single request to pick up.

573
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 13: Trash, bypassing the need for residents like Troy to go

574
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 13: out and make the report themselves.

575
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 15: Let's get the data and let's get it from a

576
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 15: bird's eye view, because none of us can do it,

577
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 15: but we have to teach, so Silicon Valley, let's use

578
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 15: the tech.

579
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 13: Council Member Ken Houston says he supports the pilot.

580
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: Oh, we got to get Ken on. Ken's great.

581
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, council Member Ken Houston.

582
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna get Canon just to talk about his beef

583
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: with Pammy because Pammy don't like him.

584
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 5: I've been bipped several times.

585
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: That's a badge of honor for him.

586
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 7: She called me a crime boss.

587
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: Council member, she's still running for da again. Probably.

588
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 13: Council Member Ken Houston says he supports the pilot program

589
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 13: because it could make cleanup more efficient. He says the

590
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 13: company has assured them the AI technology does not record

591
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 13: any kind of personally identifiable information.

592
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 16: It's just to capture trash on public right away. It's

593
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 16: not to do any type of criminal activity to catch

594
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 16: someone dumping. It's just identify to be proactive so they

595
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 16: can go out and pick it up faster.

596
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: Houston said, Good luck with that.

597
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Wait, play that again. He's saying that they're not using

598
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: the drones to catch people doing it so they can

599
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: put them in jail, just so they can identif where

600
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: the trash is so they can clean it up.

601
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 16: Yes, to capture trash on public right away, and it's

602
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 16: not to do any type of criminal activity to catch

603
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 16: someone dumping. It's just identify to be proacticate.

604
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you have to throw them in jail.

605
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: In fact, I think what we do is we take

606
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: the drones and we have them live stream to YouTube

607
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: and we just have a twenty four to seven channel,

608
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: the Oakland Dumping Channel. Or how about this, You collect

609
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: all the trash and you dump it right on their

610
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: front lawn so.

611
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 5: They can go out and pick it up faster.

612
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 13: Houston says the way to stop the dumping in the

613
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 13: first place is to increase penalties for dumping and hold

614
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 13: people criminally responsible, which is also part of the comprehensive plan,

615
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 13: But Troy questions whether city leaders want the level of

616
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 13: accountability a daily drone monitoring system would bring.

617
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 15: What we're doing is not working.

618
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: I would absolutely love Shanky.

619
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 2: We need the assist here. You are missed in Oakland,

620
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: my girl.

621
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 15: What we're doing is not working.

622
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: I would absolutely love Thank you, Shangy.

623
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 15: She's the best for that company to come to Oakland

624
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 15: because it would really give us more data.

625
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 13: The city council is considering a six month pilot program

626
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 13: to test out the AI drones. The city Council has

627
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,920

662
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: go to Dave in San Pedro.

663
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 10: Dave, Hello, Hi, John, Randy best three hours on radio

664
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 10: anywhere anyway. I wanted to make a comment about the

665
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 10: individual that had the seizures and would like fall over

666
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 10: and smack his face on the ground and all that

667
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 10: kind of but he's got a drive. I don't do siezures.

668
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 10: I'm an uber driver. I picked up a guy a

669
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 10: month ago that had a dog, a service dog, trained

670
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 10: to alert him when he's gonna have seizures. Doesn't stop

671
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 10: him from having him, but helps him get prepared for

672
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 10: the terrible ride. He's not even going to know what

673
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 10: you have. The dog will get in the way to

674
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 10: make sure it doesn't hurt himself. I don't know if

675
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 10: that guy's ever looked into that, but sounds like it's

676
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 10: the kind of thing that he needs.

677
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, the dogs that are trained to do

678
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: things like that are amazing because you think about the

679
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: level of training that goes into something like that, and

680
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: these dogs are trained to be almost human like to

681
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: take care of these people who are having these medical emergencies.

682
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: It's really unbelievable.

683
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 10: Well, I think they're smarter than humans. I mean, my

684
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 10: wife has spent thirty years trying to train me to

685
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 10: put the seat down. I can't do that. But this

686
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 10: dog can let him know he's gonna have a seizure.

687
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 10: You know, it's amazing. I mean, it was a long ride.

688
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 10: The guy told me all about it, and it was

689
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 10: just amazing that this German shepherd, not just German shepherds,

690
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 10: but this dog, could you know, get in the way.

691
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 10: He would alert him, he would let him know, maybe

692
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 10: there's a medication, you know, throw the I had moments

693
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 10: to get himself in a safe place, taking his medicine

694
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 10: or whatever it was, and then like not enjoy the ride,

695
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 10: you know, because it doesn't stop him from having a seizure,

696
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 10: but it preps him.

697
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: All right. Thank you for the call, Stard. We appreciate it.

698
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: And Randy, I wonder how people who have seizures and

699
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: it's not as if you can identify the fact that

700
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: they have seizures just by looking at them. That's a

701
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: problem that you're not really aware of until they have

702
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: a seizure. I wonder if people give them the side

703
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: eye when they see them with their dogs, assuming they're

704
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: like all of these Karens who lie about their dogs

705
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: being a service animal.

706
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: Hey, what are you looking at me for?

707
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: You know?

708
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 2: It's wild.

709
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: We got a couple of emails about that. Apparently, if

710
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: you're diagnosed with epilepsy, you're supposed to surrender your license

711
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: right then and there until you're evaluated and the doctor

712
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: says you can drive again. So maybe the guy in

713
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: Oakland was on medication and the medication just didn't work

714
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: for some reason. But they're supposed to make sure that

715
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: you're not able to drive because it could happen at

716
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: any moment. Anything could trigger that. What he didn't expect

717
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: was then to get robbed, no, and shot in the leg. Seriously, Oakland,

718
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: do better. That was a turn I didn't see coming
