I have to share something with you that 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: we just got during the break. So I consider myself 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: fairly creative and I'm starting to learn how to use 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: these AI things, mostly to make silly pictures of John 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: and I that we run during the breaks here on 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: the YouTube feed. But there are some of our listeners 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 1: that are a little more advanced in the AI game, 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: Like I am getting pretty confident at Image Generation. I'm 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: just starting to play with AI Music Generation, so we 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: have music to play during the breaks for YouTube. But 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm not an expert in any way sense of form 26 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: on how to do video. Listener Tony is, by the way, 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: is in Santa Fe this week, and listener Tony just 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: sent us a very special video.

This is real. Well, 31 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: it's aim. We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried. 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: I said, hell no, baby boy, let me get up on. 33 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: Out of here. 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: It's the California Crime blow here. I don't know how 35 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: he did that, but that was pretty darn cool. That 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: was fantastic. This audience is very creative, and yes, part 37 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: of the fun that we're having here is if you've 38 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: got any silly images that you're making of Karen Bass 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: or Gavin Newsom or Barber Ferrara, send them to us 40 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: our videos and we'll feature them on the show Johnny 41 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: Don't Like Show at gmail dot com. 42 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: Look at the comment from listener Casper in the chat. 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: All right, listener Casper, why am I not seeing that one. 44 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: How far up?

Republican Steve Hilton, who was running for governor, 56 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: decided to begin his fall election campaign this week, and 57 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: Randy he chose an unconventional place to launch that campaign. 58 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: Steve Hilton launched Phase two if his race for governor 59 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: in Boile Heights. 60 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 4: You can smell it right here. 61 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: You can smell it right now, bring a gas mask. 62 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: For more on this, we go to NBCLA. 63 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 4: Turning now to our Decision twenty twenty six coverage. Republican 64 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 4: gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton kicked off his general election campaign 65 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: right here in Los Angeles, and he chose to do 66 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: it at Royal Heights. 67 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess he was upwin from the stench. You know. 68 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: This, I believe is an excellent, excellent, excellent choice on 69 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: the part of Steve Hilton and Gloria Romero, because this 70 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: is an environmental disaster where the government dropped the ball 71 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: and gave them the worst advice imaginable, which is to 72 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: go ahead and breathe in the chemical fumes from that 73 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: fire and you won't get sick. And of course they 74 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: all got sick. Newsom hasn't been there. Javier Bacheria, who 75 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: used to represent this area in the Congress and the legislature, 76 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 2: the state legislature hasn't been there. So why not have 77 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: your launch party there to remind the people of California 78 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: how the ruling class has failed them. 79 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: Massive warehouse fire that's still impacting the community. Hilton says 80 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: he chose that location for a very specific reason. 81 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 5: NBC Force Conon Nolan was at today's campaign kickoff. 82 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: Codon Nolan, by the way, who we feature a lot 83 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: on this show, just celebrated forty years with NBC four. 84 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: That's a long time. I think that's longer. Is that 85 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: longer than Tom Brokaw might be. How about their legendary 86 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: sportscaster Arnhal James Simpson. 87 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 5: To do it with Hilton's message to the state conan. 88 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 6: That's right, Steve Hilton has a rough road ahead. He 89 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 6: has to convince millions and millions of Democrats in California 90 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 6: not to focus on the Republican in the White House. 91 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 6: Well at the same time telling MAGA supporting Republicans within 92 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 6: the state that he's a loyal supporter of Donald Trump. 93 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 2: And deal with Bitchy Bianco who still hasn't endorsed him yet. 94 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 2: The hell he's an angry guy. Also very late to 95 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: radio interviews. 96 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 6: It was the disaster that wouldn't stop last month's fire 97 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 6: at the Lineage Cold storage warehouse, repeatedly turning the skies 98 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 6: of the Eastern La Basin black as night. Later, the 99 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 6: stench of robbing food overwhelming working class neighbors in Boyle Heights. 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 6: That it was the responsibility of the city of La 101 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 6: and not the state of California didn't seem to matter. 102 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 6: Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton thought it was a good 103 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 6: place to kick off his fall campaign. 104 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: And you know, just to point out Steve Hilton was 105 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: not only there yesterday, but he toured the site before. 106 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: The current governor has not been to Boyle Heights. He 107 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: is not anywhere near this disaster. And the other main 108 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: opponent in this race, Javier Bacheria, could have brought a 109 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: whole bunch of scrub pads down there scrub it, and 110 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't been down there, and this is his old district. 111 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: And Codon Nolan is an excellent reporter, but I think 112 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: the way he framed that was a bit disingenuous. Yes, 113 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: it is the City of Los Angeles that is at 114 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: the top of the pyramid in terms of the failure, 115 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: but let's not forget there are other levels of government 116 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: that have failed to Let's start with the county government. 117 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Because the city of La does not have their. 118 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: Own public health department, they rely on the County of 119 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: Los Angeles for that. And it was none other than 120 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: the fake doctor coming out of a crip to tell 121 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: these people to take big deep breasthts in of that smoke, 122 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: when that smoke was all through their neighborhood, When that 123 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: fire was burning and burning and burning, How long did 124 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: it burn for Randy. 125 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: It burned for over a week. 126 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: Okay, the governor can declare a state of emergency. Those 127 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: people who live in that area should have been evacuated. 128 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: They shouldn't be there right now. They shouldn't have been 129 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: breathing the smoke. They shouldn't have been breathing these toxic, disgusting, 130 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: rotting fumes that they're living with right now due to 131 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: the food that's still there and is not going anywhere 132 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: anytime soon. But instead of acknowledging the disaster that this is, 133 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: Newsom just pretends like it doesn't exist. 134 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: For all of our AI friends out there, take a 135 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: picture of Barbara Ferrara. Put it in your groc or 136 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: your Gemini, what have you, and let's see what kind 137 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: of images you create of her telling the residents of 138 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: Boyle Heights that the black smoke was safe feature of 139 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,679 Speaker 1: those all day long. 140 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 7: This is the symbol of Democrat failure. Eighty five million 141 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 7: pounds of rotting meat, that symbol of a rotten regime. 142 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 7: And we are here to say. 143 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: Everyone on the other side of the press, sir, is 144 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: wearing a mask, Well would you? I mean, I know 145 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: it's not great optics to be wearing a mask at 146 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: your big launch presser, but I bet you everyone's stay. 147 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: They're wanted to. It's enough. 148 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 6: Ever since Donald Trump won a second term, propelled by 149 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 6: support from working class at Hispanic voters, Republicans have dreamt 150 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 6: of a permanent realignment that could make them once again 151 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 6: competitive in California. 152 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 7: They think that they'll have the Latino community with them forever. 153 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 7: They tell themselves they're the champions of the working class. 154 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 7: They've abandoned the working class. They've abandoned the Latino community. 155 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 6: But then came the administration's deadly immigration raids, tariffs and 156 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 6: inflated grocery prices, an unpopular warrant in Iran in surging 157 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 6: gas prices. 158 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that war supposed to only last a couple of days? 159 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if the Democrats weren't running on Israel 160 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: and weren't running on rehabilitating Mao's image, if they were 161 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: running on gas prices in Iran, they'd probably be way ahead. 162 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 6: America has turned on the leader of mister Hilton's party, 163 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 6: and it is just very clear at this point that 164 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 6: Donald Trump is hitting new lows and his polling data 165 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 6: can hate true. 166 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: What's with the clapping, I don't know, that's an interesting tick. 167 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: Maybe they have one of those devices from the eighties 168 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: and he's trying to turn the lights off. 169 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. 170 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 6: Maybe maybe not. After all, just last month, the President 171 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 6: took credit for mister Hilton making the runoff, implying his 172 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 6: vote was being stolen. Before he threatened up federal probe, they. 173 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: Proved Steve Hill. 174 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 6: It was going to be two weeks, they said it, 175 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 6: and then they proved him that night because the heat 176 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 6: was on them, because they're cheating dogs. Governor Gavin Newsom yesterday, 177 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 6: this is pathetic that anyone is defending. 178 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: They never noticed before in this angle. Gavin has a 179 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: neck vein, does he? When he gets real angry, it 180 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: gets a pumpin' into. 181 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 7: This madness, this mad man on this topic. 182 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 6: Can I envision a call to the White House saying, listen, 183 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 6: I appreciate your support, please do not campaign for me 184 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: in California. 185 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: No, No, I don't see it that way. It olds 186 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you wish that he would stay out of it. 187 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: Well, he wants the focus to be on California subjects, 188 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: not on federal subjects. BACAIEA is going to run on 189 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: federal subjects and not California subjects because in a deep 190 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: blue state, that's all they really have to do to win. 191 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: It worked for Gavin and the recall. It worked for 192 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: Gavin in the reelection. It may work for room temperature 193 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: IQ Javier Bacaia scrub it, but it's not a done deal. 194 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: Bringing together a bruled Hilton is arguably the best candidate 195 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: that this side has had in many, many, many cycles. 196 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: Oh, he's much better than Brian Dolly. He's much better 197 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: than John Cox, He's much better than Neil Kashkari. He 198 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: is someone who comes from cable news, so he knows 199 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: how to communicate with people. He's not going to stand 200 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 2: up there like a bump on a log when they 201 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: have a debate. He's going to bring the heat to 202 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: Javier Bakaria. Now in a deep blue state like California, 203 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: whether or not that's enough to win is highly unlikely. 204 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: But they're doing the best they can this time around. 205 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: They have a decent candidate who's out there making the 206 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: arguments in the places he should be in. 207 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Listener, Oh, look at this street. People of Los Angeles 208 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: is watching great Instagram feed. Baccaria will win regardless. He 209 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: doesn't even have to campaign. Actually, he doesn't even need 210 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: to speak. 211 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, probably Coalition for Change that includes strong Trump supporters, 212 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 8: and includes Democrats and independents who can't stand the president. 213 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 6: But we can all agree that we need to fix California. 214 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: That's what the campaign's are. Hey, that's the name of 215 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: our one o'clock hour. That's right. He's appeared on this 216 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: program many times about the money. 217 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 6: So we asked Steve Hilton, would he like Donald Trump 218 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 6: to come to California to campaign for him? Kind of 219 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 6: dodge that saying that conversation has yet to take place. 220 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 5: Does he risk upsetting the president? 221 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 6: Would that hurt him here? 222 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. 223 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 6: I don't think Donald Trumps spending a lot of time 224 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 6: focused on this race. But again, mister Hilton realizes this 225 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 6: is a fellow in Washington. It's going to be a 226 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 6: referendum on him in the midterm elections, and he's lost 227 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 6: this state three times by millions and millions of votes. 228 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 6: So it's an uphillow campaign for him. 229 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 4: And towing the line is always different, especially with this guy. 230 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 4: All Right, thanks Covich. 231 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: So there you go, Steve Hilton in the second phase 232 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: of his campaign for governor, launching it from you guessed it, 233 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: Boyle Heights. 234 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 4: There is no substitute to standing here and smelling it 235 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: and seeing yourself. 236 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: You know, I want to go back to something that 237 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: Conan just said there, because what he said is true 238 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: under normal circumstances. Under normal circumstances, the party out of 239 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: power benefits in a midterm alife, especially in the sixth 240 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: year of a president's term, because people are starting to 241 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: get tired of them. People are ready to move on 242 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: to the next one. You're a lame duck. You can't 243 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: put your name on the ballot. And frequently presidents get 244 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: bogged down in their second term with issues they rather 245 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: not deal with, and certainly Iran has become one of 246 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: those issues for Donald Trump. That being said, if you 247 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: look at these primaries, if you look at these races 248 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: that are going on right now in some states, by 249 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: the way, haven't even voted yet. Can you imagine that 250 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: July twenty third, and you still haven't had your primary. 251 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: I think Michigan hasn't voted yet. But if you look 252 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: at these races, they're not running on Iran, gas prices 253 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump the focus. And I just saw an 254 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: interview I think it was the Democratic candidate in Michigan, 255 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: the DSA candidate who is running against Hailey stevens Abdul 256 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: al Sayet I think his name is. He went on 257 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: with Jake Tapper and it was about Israel. They're turning 258 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: these primary races into referendums on whether or not the 259 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: Americans should support the Israeli government. And then you look 260 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: at what happened over the weekend. The Democratic College Group 261 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: kids had their convention and they brought in Hassan Piker 262 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: to be the speaker, and he was rehabilitating the image 263 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: of MAO. That's what he decided to do. And they're 264 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: talking about all of these subjects. The guy in Texas 265 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: talks about transgendered issues all the time. They're talking about 266 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: subjects that do not benefit them. It would be a 267 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: very simple campaign. If they just hammered him on two 268 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: or three things, and people getting tired of the president, 269 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: people getting tired of someone who's just been in office 270 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: a long time, they would probably have a big victory 271 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: this November. I'm starting to think that they may not 272 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: get that. I'm starting to think that they might win, 273 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: they might pick up seats. I think that is highly probable, 274 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: but I don't think it's going to be this big 275 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: sweep that they're expecting because they're not running on the 276 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: subjects that benefit them the most. They're running on these 277 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: boutique issues where the very left wing of the Democratic Party. 278 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: They get all worked up over Israel, they get all 279 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: worked up over what's going on in Gaza in the 280 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: Middle East. But I don't think the average person spends 281 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: a whole lot of time thinking about that. I think 282 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: they do in their primaries. I think they do in 283 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: their party, But outside of that, I think you aren't 284 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: talking to the average Joe. And they're going to have 285 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: to figure out a way to recalibrate once these primaries 286 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 2: are over. The problem is going to be if they 287 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: lose these primaries, if the DSA like what happened in 288 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: La and the mayoral election, If the DSA candidates make 289 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 2: it to the November ballot, good luck controlling them, because 290 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: they aren't what you would regard as a partisan Democrat, 291 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: a party person who's going to listen to the party 292 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: and do what the party tells them to do. 293 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: They're going to do their own thing. 294 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: And those people care about Israel and Gaza, and those 295 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: people believe that Mao was a good guy, and those 296 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: people care about the transgendered subjects. 297 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: But that's not something. 298 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: That's going to motivate the average person who's on the 299 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 2: fence about whether or not they're going to show up 300 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: and vote or not to come out and vote for them. 301 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 2: It seems like a really squandered opportunity. Now, as a Republican, 302 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: I'm happy about it because they're not playing their strongest hand. 303 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 2: But if I'm a Democratic Party person and I'm looking 304 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: at what could be a squandered opportunity, you have to 305 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: start cracking some skulls and telling these people to get 306 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 2: with the program. Whether or not they have the ability 307 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: to do that, I don't know. It's the John Phillips Show. 308 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: It's the John Phillip Show.

And they thought that the 337 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: image of John and I dressed up as Batman and 338 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: Robin could be improved.

I 343 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: usually want it to be widescreen so it fits on 344 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: the thing. So I say scene sixteen x nine. These 345 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: guys are parking vigilantes dressed like Batman and Robin, painting curbs, 346 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: read and Sacramento large text parking vigilantes, and it came 347 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: up with that. Then during the break, I asked it 348 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: keep the scene sixteen to nine. Add Katie Porter dressed 349 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: as batgirl. Good lord, you can have a lot of 350 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: fun with this too at Google Gemini or Greg. I 351 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: like Google Gemini because Elon kept trying to make me 352 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: pay for his and I already pay him for Twitter. 353 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: I'm not paying thirty dollars a month to make these pictures. 354 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: I do it for free on the Googles. 355 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 356 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: telephone number one eight hundred two two two five two 357 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: two two. If you're watching on YouTube, hit that like button. 358 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: We're just below two hundred. Let's get it north of 359 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: that before we sign off at three. All right, we've 360 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: had our first statewide study on how cannabis impacts California drivers. 361 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 2: And you might be asking the same question that I 362 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: was asking myself all morning. 363 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: Why do we need to study this? I think it's 364 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: fairly obvious the impacts of cannabis on driving. 365 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, those cars pull into every single fast food drive 366 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: through known demand. 367 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: It slows your reaction time, it makes you a worse driver. 368 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: But there are plenty of delusional potheads out there, including 369 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: me ten years ago, that would say, no, it makes 370 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: me a better driver. Now, let me fill up my 371 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: pipe while I'm on the freeway, which I used to 372 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: do all the time. I'm lucky I made it here unscathed. 373 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: Everybody for more, Here is ABC ten in Sacramento. 374 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: With marijuana now legal and far more potent than it 375 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 3: was decades ago, the California Department of Motor Vehicles and 376 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 3: the California Highway Patrol are taking a fresh look at 377 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 3: what impairment really looks like behind the wheel. It's the 378 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: first major study of it's kind of nearly forty years, 379 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 3: and our team was given rare access inside. 380 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: The testing, it sweeps weak. That's why they've got the 381 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: fancy music. How many of those or do you think 382 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: are going to remain standing? 383 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: From above, it looks like a routine driving course, But 384 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 3: this isn't training, it's research, while alcohol is. 385 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: How much money are we spending on this study? 386 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 2: How many people in the California Department a Highway patrol 387 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: do you think volunteered to smoke the marijuana for this study? 388 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Bates having to sit on the four or five. 389 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 5: The most common substance identified in fatalities and serious injury 390 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 5: crashes that are associated with impair driving, Cannabis is number two. 391 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 3: The California Department of Motor Vehicles is studying how cannabis 392 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: affects driving in real time, something they say hasn't been 393 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 3: studied at this level since the early nineteen eighties. 394 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: Fact, but we all know what the result is. 395 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's going to be any big 396 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: reveals here. 397 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 9: Seventies and eighties TC. Levels that users would have anything 398 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 9: from one to four percent. 399 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: Now this isn't your mommy and daddy's tie stick. Oh. 400 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 9: In California, we're seeing anything from twenty to thirty percent 401 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 9: or even. 402 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 3: Higher, and officials say, no other study in the country 403 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: is doing it quite like this, combining real world driving 404 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: with advanced vehicle technology. About three hundred people are involved. 405 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: Official three one hundred people are being paid with your 406 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: tax dollars to study the effects of pot on driving. Okay, 407 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: I don't smoke pot. 408 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 2: I've never smoked pot, so I don't know if I 409 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 2: would be good for this study. But if I did 410 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 2: take that driving test stone cold sober, I still think 411 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: I would knock down about eighty five percent of those cones. 412 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: You would be the control subject in the study that 413 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: you can be stone cold sober and still be a 414 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: terrible driver. 415 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: Say, legalized recreational cannabis is creating new challenges for policing 416 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: impaired drivers. The studies goal is really to help better 417 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 3: understand how cannabis impacts real world driving and also test 418 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: the tools that law enforcement currently has. 419 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: They only had a budget for this setup. Yeah no kidding. 420 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: How many cameramen were involved in this story in order. 421 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 3: To identify those impaired drivers. 422 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 5: So what is it on the road that really degrades 423 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: when people are too high to drive and that could 424 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 5: be useful for informing law enforcement training? 425 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: We went inside the actual study site. People you see 426 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 3: here with the CHP and DMV and are not participants. 427 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: Cameras work for I remember in my early, early, early 428 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: POT days, before I really knew what any of this 429 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: stuff was, I was like, I got an idea. This 430 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: is when I worked at ninety seven point one. I'm 431 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: going to take a brownie that I got at the 432 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: medical shop for my glaucoma, and I'm going to eat 433 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: it right as I get in the car, and by 434 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: the time I get to Wilshure, it'll activate. While I 435 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: didn't anticipate traffic, I'm not totally sure how I made 436 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: it there. 437 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 3: Permitted during live testing to protect the integrity of the research, 438 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 3: participants are medically screened. 439 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 5: Once that medical exam takes place, they then enter our 440 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 5: smoking booth. 441 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: What do you think that exam details? Do they need blood? 442 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: Do they need something else? Or something something else? 443 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I would imagine the room with 444 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: the lava lamp is where they smoke the marijuana. 445 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: Okay, guys, that's a little on the nose. 446 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: Then randomly assigned into one of three groups. One group 447 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 3: receives active cannabis with THHCEE. A second receives a placebo 448 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 3: and a third receives no cannabis at all. 449 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: Wait, what's the placebo cloves? 450 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: After smoking? Some drivers within minutes, others wait up to 451 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 3: an hour before getting behind the wheel. 452 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 5: Okay, so this vehicle instrumentation captures driver's inputs such as 453 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 5: how hard they're pressing the pedals and how they're turning 454 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 5: the steering wheel. 455 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 3: While the study involves multiple agencies, the DMV leads the 456 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 3: research design and if. 457 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 2: They're using employees from the DMV for this study, correct, 458 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: Yes they are, and they're loading them up with drugs 459 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: before they put them behind the wheel of the car 460 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 2: and have them drive through the obstacle cours. Yes, okay, 461 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 2: if you're dealing with DMV clerks, do you think that's 462 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: the right population of people to use? Because typically the 463 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: fingernails are so long. I don't know how that impacts 464 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: your ability to hold the wheel, whether you're. 465 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: High or not. How do you even roll a joint 466 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: with those fingernails? Marcos writes in I worked for the SFMTA, 467 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: and I was stuck in traffic yesterday at three. The 468 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: street was leading to the Bay Bridge in the one 469 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: on one south. The aroma of weed coming from cars 470 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. You see it and you smell it every 471 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: single day. 472 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 3: Analysis the University of California, San Diego oversees the studies 473 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: human subjects review, helping ensure participants are protected throughout the research. 474 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 3: California Highway Patrol provides trained officers who conduct field sobriety tests. 475 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 3: Unlike alcohol, there's no single roadside number that determines cannabis impairment. 476 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: Officers also really. 477 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know it when you see it. So 478 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: what do they do to prove someone's high on drugs? 479 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: You just quiz them about Grateful Dead albums. 480 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 3: Eye on behavior, physical signs, and structured field evaluations. HP 481 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,239 Speaker 3: says this study is needed now more than ever. 482 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 9: I'm definitely seeing an increase in cannabis usage in the 483 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 9: state of California, obviously due to the passage. Some of 484 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 9: the stats that I can definitely cite is in twenty 485 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 9: twenty five alone, there was over eight thousand drug evaluations 486 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 9: that was completed. Out of that eight thousand, over thirty 487 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 9: three hundred had combined alcohol and or cannabis. 488 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: Oh, that's how you get the spins. Don't do that, kids, Well, 489 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: they're hit the combo platter. Huh, always a bad idea. 490 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 5: Have seen in California a steady increase over the past 491 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 5: decade in the number of people who die on our 492 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 5: roads due to drug and pair driving. 493 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: And pairmand is one hundred percent for and cannabis is 494 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: only one of those drugs. There's plenty of people who 495 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: are popping zantibars on the one to one freeway right now. 496 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, you see that all over and people 497 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: do not regard that as drugs. You ever go on 498 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: a plane and you have a middle aged woman throw 499 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: a purse down on the seat next to you and 500 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: the contents of that purse just fall out all over 501 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: the chair. It looks like Graceland. 502 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 5: There is a lot of evidence that cannabis impair driving, 503 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 5: is im pair driving and dangerous. 504 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: So we already knew that before the study started.

You'd 519 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: think if they were all smoking marijuana NonStop, they'd be 520 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 2: less angry. 521 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: Listener Eric writes in what a joke A waste of money? 522 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: Everybody knows pot plus driving and booze plus driving is 523 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: a real recipe for disaster and jail. 524 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: Not for doctor Jerry Buss.

This is 543 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: a fee from a landlord of an adu that is 544 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: renting out his accessory dwelling unit for around three thousand 545 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: dollars a month.

And one 557 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: in the East Bay is charging Accordingly. 558 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 2: ABC seven Eyewitness News anchor Cameron Bop explains how much 559 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: that will cost you. 560 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 10: An additional work from home fee. What are your thoughts 561 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 10: on that. 562 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 11: Work from home fee? Yeah, no, I've never heard of that. 563 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 4: I mean, that's crazy. 564 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 10: An additional two hundred dollars a month if you're working 565 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 10: from home. 566 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on? This is like the nickel 567 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,239 Speaker 1: and diming that the airlines used to do with all 568 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: those hidden fees. Just tell us what you really want 569 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: the rent to be. If you want it to be 570 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: thirty six hundred dollars, make it thirty six hundred dollars. 571 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: This is nonsense. 572 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 2: And by the way, it's none of your landlord's business 573 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 2: if you work from home, work from the office, it 574 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 2: into a sex dungeon whatever. As long as you're paying 575 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 2: the rent, that's all that matters. Hey, OnlyFans counts as 576 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 2: working from home. Someone's got to take pictures of those feet. 577 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 11: Ah, that sounds. 578 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 10: Ridiculous, ridiculous, crazy. That's how renters are reacting to one 579 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 10: Bay Area rental listing. But that's the exact charge and 580 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 10: a listing for a newly built, furnished one bed, one bath, 581 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 10: eighty U behind this home in Walnut Creek. According to 582 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 10: the listing on rent dot com, the cottage rents for 583 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 10: thirty two to fifty a month, with utilities and Wi 584 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 10: Fi included. It's this line that's turning heads if working 585 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 10: from home additional two hundred dollars monthly. 586 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy, that's it. 587 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: Yes, I just had to update the title because I 588 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: for some reason wrote Palo Alto, but it's Walnut Creek. 589 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: My bad. 590 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 4: I think that's very greedy. 591 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 11: I would say that's expensive, to say the least, because 592 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 11: I think the rent prices out here were already expensive. 593 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 10: He's right. Zilo data shows the average Bay Area rent 594 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 10: is about thirty six to fifty a month roughly eighty one, which. 595 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: By the way, that's the same pretty much as what 596 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: rent is in like the San Fernando Valley, where you 597 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: get nothing. 598 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 10: Percent higher than the national average. So another two hundred 599 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 10: dollars is raising eyebrows. 600 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 11: I don't understand, like how they would know, Like is 601 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 11: that something that they that has to be disclosed, Like, 602 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 11: I don't know how they find out. 603 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 10: And while it might sound strange to some and it's 604 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 10: definitely not common for this quiet Walnut Creek neighborhood. I'm 605 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 10: told that there could be some logic behind the fee. 606 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: It's almost like a utility cost recovery or no. No, no, no, no, 607 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: who pays their Wi Fi on a graduating scale. It's 608 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: a flat fee. This is nonsense. No, this is just 609 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: a way for someone to make more money or environmental 610 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: conservation fee. 611 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 10: Derek Barnes, with the East Bay Rental Housing Association says, 612 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 10: if utilities are included, remote workers can drive up those costs, 613 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 10: and the landlord appears to be disclosing that upfront. ABC 614 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 10: seven News, here is anybody home? 615 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: We stopped Wilson from Home Improvement. Yeah, Mal there. 616 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 10: Here with ABC seven. I win this news and called 617 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 10: the person listing the unit. We did not receive a response. 618 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 10: Barnes says, because many ADUs aren't subject to the same 619 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,919 Speaker 10: rules as larger apartment buildings, owners may have more flexibility 620 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 10: in how they structure charges like this. 621 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: You're not likely. 622 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 2: This doesn't sound like someone I would want to rent from. No, no, 623 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 2: this is a red flag. This person is going to 624 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: be a horrible landlord. Do not rent that unit from 625 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 2: this person. This is just the tip of the iceberg. 626 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: This is going to be that kind of landlord where 627 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: it's the middle of winter, your heat goes out, it's freezing, 628 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: and they bring over a tiny little space heater and say, well, 629 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: that work actually happened when I lived in Burbank. 630 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 2: You know, to be aware of your usage of these 631 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 2: precious res sources. 632 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: If you don't see a bill. 633 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 10: Some renters say, if the fee ever does catch. 634 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 11: On, if my landlord switches to that method, I actually 635 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 11: don't work from home there. 636 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, this landlord is the master of the house from Ley, 637 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 2: miz Ah. 638 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 10: Landlords may be the last to note Cameron Bob ABC 639 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 10: seven I Witness News. 640 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: So there you go. Hopefully it doesn't start a new trend. 641 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: But a landlord trying to rent out his ADU and 642 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: Walnut Creek thinks that he can get away with a 643 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: work from home v. 644 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 2: Well, if you think about it, is that any more 645 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 2: ridiculous than a hotel in Las Vegas charging you a 646 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 2: resort fee. 647 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: That's probably where he got the idea from. 648 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 2: Because hotels are supposed to offer amenities. You go to 649 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 2: a hotel, it's not like back in the old days 650 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 2: when they had to advertise outside the motel that they 651 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 2: had color TV. Everyone expects you to have a bunch 652 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 2: of different options on a flat screen at your hotel. 653 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 2: They expect to have an ice machine, they expect to 654 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 2: have a pool, they expect all of those amenities. It's 655 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 2: not something that you should pay an additional fee for. 656 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 2: You go to a big hotel on the strip in 657 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, those things are expected to be included. 658 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: Listener Kyle writes in I'm a landlord, I would never 659 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: disclose that. I just list the place for the price 660 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: that I want. See what uproar that caused? That owner 661 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: is dummy. I'm with our listener. 662 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 2: Well, when you think about it, if you really want 663 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 2: to charge someone, you charge them extra. 664 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: If they have a pet. Correct. 665 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't like that either. Can you charge 666 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 2: them extra if they have kids? Because kids destroy stuff too, 667 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 2: I would argue kids are more destructive than pets. Yeah, 668 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 2: but I don't think you can charge someone more money 669 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 2: if they have kids than if they don't have kids. 670 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: That would be discrimination. 671 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 2: What about if someone's handicapped they have one of those 672 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 2: c PAP machines or something. Those take up a lot 673 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 2: of electricity, so if you have sleep apnea you have 674 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 2: to pay a different rate. Dumb idea. All right, that's 675 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 2: it for us today. We'll be back tomorrow at noon 676 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 2: for another edition of The John Phillip Show.
