Let's star art in Woodland Hills 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.200 where there was a big celebration yesterday. The mayor came 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.120 all the way out to the valley because they are 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:14.800 starting construction on a gigantic three thousand unit set of towers, 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.480 towers that will house the elderly in a massive affordable 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:25.480 housing complex. Just a reminder anytime that you hear the 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.520 term affordable housing, just remember that that means it is 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.640 subsidized in some way, whether it's through city, county, or 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.760 state tax dollars, whether it is subsidized from the expensive 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:43.680 rents from everybody else, somebody is paying for the affordable housing. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.600 By the way, this affordable housing complex which was greenlit 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.920 under Karen Vass's executive directive one the short lived executive 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.240 order that got rid of all red tape that she 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.160 decided to cancel as soon as people got outraged that 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.600 they were going to tear a single family home in 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.800 Sherman Oaks and turn into a seven story building. Well, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.720 this is one of the projects that got in under 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.640 the wire, and it's going to have three thousand units 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.040 for what they say as mostly the elderly and people 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:17.280 that cannot afford to get a regular place. But it's 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.280 only gonna have eight hundred parking spaces. But that's not 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.440 the real story of this. I was actually kind of confused. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.400 When I pull up the feed, I go to Fox eleven, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.080 I see this story. Of course I'm gonna click on 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.320 it because I live near Woodland Hills. I'm always curious 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.200 about what's going on there. The traffic is bad. Now 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.040 just wait till Kronky builds the little rams park and 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.560 then you've got this and it's going to be a 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.280 whole thing having to deal with getting around down there. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.079 But I was like, wait, why are they sending Matthew 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.280 Seedorf on this? That's Seedorf is usually being sent to 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.520 a very dangerous location or somewhere that smells terrible. But 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.240 I think the reason they sent in Seedorf for this 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:04.360 fairly celebrate Tory event was because they knew this would 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.320 be the one way to get Matthew Seedorf in his 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:13.160 microphone in Karen Bass's face, because Karen Bass was more 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.799 than happy to talk about, Hey, look at this, We're 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.520 actually building something affordable housing. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:19.440 How great is this? 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.160 Although the developer couldn't commit to how much, how many 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.320 of the units are actually for seniors, how the affordability 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.760 is being paid? Is this through Section eight? Is this 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.360 through other housing funds measure ula? We don't know, but 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.240 Karen Bass is all happy to talk about that, but 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.520 what she did not expect was for Matthew Sedorf to 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.920 be recording when she was giving her spiel, not just 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:52.400 about building housing, but about homelessness. Because one of the 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.960 things that Karen Bass says so many times when she's 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.760 talking about her plan to end homelessness on the street 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:04.240 by twenty twenty six, wait it is twenty twenty six. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:05.960 What happened? 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.160 Karen Bass likes to tout that there are so many 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.760 different kinds of homeless people you cannot paint them with 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.800 a broad brush. And Karen Bass likes to say, for 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.359 all of you people that think that this is a 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.479 mostly drug and mental illness problem, let me tell you something. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.440 You spend a couple of weeks on the street and 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.520 you don't see if you don't start using meth to 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.120 protect yourself. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:43.920 Those were her words. They were on tape. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.960 The homeless are just using meth to protect themselves because 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.640 they need to stay up at night otherwise they will 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.680 be assaulted. So let's think about that for a second. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.440 So what the mayor of Los Angeles is saying is 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.599 that the conditions in our streets, in these encampments are 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.560 so dangerous that it doesn't matter if you had a 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.120 drug problem that put you on the streets or not. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.920 You need to whether you're a man or a woman, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:19.800 black or white, young or old, you need to do 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.640 math on the street so you can stay up late 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.120 at night, because if you fall asleep at night in 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:32.040 a homeless encampment, you will be sexually assaulted, you will 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:38.680 be swallowelled, you will be platinered allegedly. I don't know 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.520 if that's necessarily the kind of argument you want to bring, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.719 because I don't know if she understands how the human 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.279 body and how drugs work. 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.640 But sure, the. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.800 Meth can keep you up all night, and then they 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.800 usually take the fentanyl to fold over and pass out 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.920 during the day. But what sexual assaults don't happen during 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:05.280 the day. Look, this is a non sensical argument making 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.920 excuses for doing illicit drugs that put people into you know, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.120 you want to talk about Karen Bass loves to do 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.920 the chicken or the egg situation. Did someone become homeless 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.159 because of their drug addiction or did they become a 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.040 drug addict because of homelessness. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.360 I'll give you a different chicken or egg theory. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.839 Was the person crazy and then they started using meth 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.720 or did they start using meth? And meth actually creates 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.880 mental illness. Meth actually destroys your brain to the point 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.960 where you're in psychosis, where you're extremely paranoid, where you're 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:46.760 seeing things your schizophrenic. So anybody, any elected official, making 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.200 excuses to do meth on the streets because while they 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.160 need to do it to protect themselves might be the 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.600 most bet bleep argument I have ever heard from an 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:03.440 elected official. And of course Matthew Seedorf, being the great 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.880 reporter that he is, has the microphone in front of 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.920 her face and she's talking about how great this development is. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.760 But Seedorf, who I cannot say enough great things about 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.640 I am a huge fan of this guy, says, what 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.760 were you saying back there that the homeless take meth 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.240 to protect themselves? And she says, I didn't say they 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.840 were protecting themselves, Yeah, she did. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.440 It's on tape. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.440 I highly recommend you watch and share that video the 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.240 Fox eleven Report as at Randy Wang Radio dot substack 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.040 dot com. And I also highly recommend you check out 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.520 the first hour of the John Phillips Show. 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:42.800 I will also have. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.960 A contained video of John and I talking about this 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.480 and playing the sound and a graphic that I am 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.400 very proud of of Karen Bass as Heisenberg from Breaking 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.120 Bad worked. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:55.640 Real hard on it. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.600 I'm gonna have that up tomorrow morning, and I highly 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.360 recommend that's one of those stories you need to not 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.360 only see it, you need to share it around. This 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.800 is the kind of thing you need to be telling 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.760 your friends. And you know, there was an interesting exchange 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.720 on my Facebook page. One of the things that I 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:16.640 do every single morning is in my now twelve hour day. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.440 Someday I'm gonna sit down and explain like what my 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.360 workday is like right now, because it's a lot. But 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.000 one of the things that I do is I create 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.000 a couple of graphics, usually four. For the John Phillips Show, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.040 I create one graphic for this show. If we're doing 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.240 an accountability podcast, I create a graphic for that. So 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.240 that way, these things have an image that people are 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.440 more likely to click on on the YouTube. And I 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.319 like to share the images because well, we're having a 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.360 lot of fun with them. So I post the one 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.720 of Karen Bass in the Breaking Bass picture, which again 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:54.079 I'm very very proud of that. I'm getting pretty good 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.360 at putting in the right kind of prompts to google 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.240 Gemini to make this stuff come out really nice. And 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.599 I've gotten some very good advice from listener Tony on 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.200 to make them look a lot cleaner and pop more 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:08.280 for the old internets. But a listener I can't remember 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.840 her name right now, I could check, but was like, 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.760 you know, the more you beat up on Bass, the 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.040 more you're going to help the DSA win that seat. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:24.000 And I responded, I don't actually know who would be worse, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.719 and as a voter in the city of Los Angeles, 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.439 it is something that I will be conflicted about for 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:40.040 the next four months because I know through four years 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:45.439 that Karen Bass has been a complete disaster on every 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.000 single level. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.320 I couldn't agree with you more. Karen Bass is so bad. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.480 I actually find myself pining for the good old Garcetti days. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.679 I received things on both ends. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:04.800 Now with Ramen has a lot of crazy ideas. Nythia 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.400 or Ramen has not been a great member of the 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:12.200 city council, and yes she is affiliated with the DSA, 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:17.480 but would she truly be as incompetent as Karen Bass, 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.520 Because forget ideology, honestly, you want to break them down 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:26.000 among ideological lies. I don't know what really separates Nythia 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.440 and Karen Bass. And this was evident by every single 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.480 podcast that Nythia would do where she was asked, what's 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.760 different between you and Karen Bass? And her answer was 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.840 and this was true when she was on Pod Save 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:40.360 America with Evan Lovett, she kept saying, well, I would 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.680 just be more focused, and you know what, there's a 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.720 potential that that is actually true either way. The policy 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:53.040 ideas are terrible, the not wanting to clear homeless encampments 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.040 because it's an ineffective policy. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.960 What have you? She was someone that said defund the police. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.640 She won't say it now, but she. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.720 Also things that the police, which is at historic low levels, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.080 it has at a fine level, and we need more alternatives. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:06.920 What have you. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.720 Karen Bass, who now has the endorsement of the police union, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.480 doesn't say that. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.400 She says we need more police officers. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.600 But everything she has done to get us more police 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.199 officers has been completely ineffective. 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.720 And she has been asleep at the wheel. How many times. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.200 You look at the ten Freeway melting well, we still 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.080 don't know who started that one. Of course, all the 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.160 disaster and cover ups with the Palisades fire that we've 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.800 covered extensively, the fact that when this Boile Heights warehouse 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.640 fire started, she put out the information that don't worry, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.480 the smoke coming out from those solar panels isn't toxic. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:54.480 I don't know necessarily if Nifia really would be worse 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.920 than Bass. It's one of these things that is so 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.320 upsetting about our system. There is no good decision here. 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:05.360 Sometimes all you're set with is two bad decisions. What 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.720 was the old South Park bit where you had to 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.360 choose between a crap sandwich and what was the other one? 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.160 I'm gonna have to look that up during the break. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:21.280 But these are your choices and there's not really a winner. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.719 But one thing that I do know, you could say, well, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.000 Karen Bass is a proven entity. You know what you're 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.880 going to get, and Nithie Raman is the devil. You 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:34.439 don't know that's true. But I have seen so much 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.560 incompetence from this administration and I think a lot of 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.520 it has to do with and I know this is 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:45.400 an uncomfortable topic, but I'm ready to have it. One 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.600 of the issues that I have with Karen Bass, and 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.679 she doesn't get as much flak for it as other politicians, 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.920 but I don't want any more senior citizens running our government. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:13:00.160 There I said it. Karen Bass is seventy one. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:05.200 I don't like that people slow down, people get distracted, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.120 people cannot work as hard as somebody in their forties. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.120 Nithea might be crazy, but she's in her forties. And 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.960 even though I mean, I don't know what it would 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.360 be like, it could be a disaster. And I still 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.520 don't know who I'm going to vote for. I'm going 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.800 to vote. I'm going to make my voice heard, even 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:26.599 though I don't like either of the choices. I will say, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.400 for all the talk about his insane ideology in New 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.520 York City, the reviews of the first few months of 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.679 Zorn Mamdannie have been, well, he's getting some stuff done, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.440 he's filling some potholes, He's got some energy, And I 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.240 think there is something to bringing youth and energy to 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.360 these jobs. Daniel Lurry is a relatively young guy. He 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.800 is the most popular mayor in the country now. He's 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.360 a much more moderate candidate than Karen Bass or Nythia 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.319 Rahman or Zora and Mom Donnie. But I think having youth, 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.720 being able to not be set in your old ways, 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.320 because I'll tell you one of the ways that we're 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.360 so bogged down is that Karen Bass has been in 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:18.360 this machine for such a long time that she has 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.480 a certain understanding how things work, and she's not willing 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.440 to change that. She's not willing to break the wheel. 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.920 She just wants to be another cog in the wheel. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.360 And things are so messed up that we do need 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.800 to break the wheel now. The best way to do 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.720 that would have been Spencer prep, but we don't have 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.000 a choice here. So this is what I'm conflicted about, 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.520 and this is what a lot of voters are conflicted about. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.280 Do we go with what we know is already bad 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.360 or do we know what could also be bad but 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:52.760 maybe possibly more effective because they're not seventy and incompetent, 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.360 and Karen Bass also has a history of cover ups, 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:03.120 covering her ass And I'm I almost said the QF word. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.120 I am sick of it, not saying I'm voting for Nthia, 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:12.000 but at this point I don't really see how four 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.920 more years of Bass is infinitely a better option than 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.800 the DSA candidate.

Jim, Hello, 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.040 Oh hey, how's it going. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.080 Thanks for kicking my call. 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:06.160 Doing great. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.200 I heard what you were saying, and you know, I 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.920 like Sprincer Proud. I don't like either one of them, 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.120 but you know I would rather between the two of them. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:19.520 I would rather have the competent, old progressive than the 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.200 young aggressive communists. 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.000 So you'd rather have Karen Bass be asleep at the 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.240 wheel for four more years than someone that has enough 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.520 energy to do some real damage. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:38.480 Yeah, exactly, because that's what they would do. Damage, worst, my. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:43.080 Damage, I understand that I do. However, the damage that 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.479 Karen Bass has caused for being an incompetent is literally 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.600 you can see it with the burned down palisades. So 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.120 I don't know if that's necessarily much better. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.040 No, I get it. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.800 I just I can't go with a communist, especially a young, 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:04.240 aggressive one. And he's not filling potholes, he hasn't six potholes. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.240 He's closing down grocery stores. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.720 All right, Jim, thank you so much for the call. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:19.000 Appreciate it. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:25.520 Another disaster on Karen Bass's hands is the Boyle Heights Warehouse. 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.880 And here's the thing that you need to know, because 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.879 I've been hearing every version of this story. Alex Badilla 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.600 went down there and toured it, says he wants to 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.440 get the EPA involved. And by the way, there should 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.680 be some kind of movement to get a federal response 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:44.560 out here, because right now the mayor, the incompetent mayor, 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:50.120 who says, all right, you lineage, you have forty five 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.440 days to get all this rotting food out of there, which, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:53.960 by the way, now we're in the middle of a 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.560 heat wave and the rotting smell is getting worse by 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:56.960 the day. 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.320 We're now a month's. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:04.000 Since this fire started, what two weeks since Karen Bess 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.760 put out that executive order. So let's just say we're 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:11.160 fifteen days into the forty five day window of when 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.560 they have to get rid of all of this rotting food. 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.960 Here's what you need to know, because sometimes the numbers 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.719 can be confusing. The first number you need to know 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:31.359 is that there are eighty five million pounds of food 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.439 that is rotting in this burned out warehouse and boil Heights, 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:41.680 eighty five million pounds. According to all the news stories yesterday, 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.320 the cruise at Lineage that are working around the clock 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:51.280 have so far cleared three hundred and fifty tons of 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.960 the rotting food. And again, we are now fifteen days 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.520 into the forty five day cleanup. And you might be 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.240 a little confused because we're giving one measurement in pounds 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.080 of we're giving one measurement in tons. So I went 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.879 ahead and did the math this morning. And if anyone 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.960 asks you about what's going on in the Boyle Heights warehouse, 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.240 what's going on with the cleanup, here's what you need 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:15.520 to know. 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:20.800 Nine eighty five million pounds. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.080 If you divide that by two thousand, because it's two 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.200 thousand pounds for a ton, it means that we're dealing 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:35.560 with about forty five thousand tons of food. So now 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.200 I think the math is going to be a little 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.480 simpler for us forty five thousand tons, and we've only 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.560 cleaned up three hundred and fifty which means two weeks 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.919 into Karen Bass's forty five day window to clean up 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.840 all the rotting food, we have cleaned up less than 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.440 one percent point eight percent. 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.200 There, I did the math for you. 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.840 It's the News Blitz with Randy Wang on KABC. 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.200 It's half past five in LA.

That is where we just put 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.399 up a new episode that launched today of John and 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:28.320 I going through the uncensored town hall where Karen Bass 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:31.879 and Barbara Pereer rightly got cussed out by the Boyle 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.760 Heights residents. Did you know that we are now just 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.359 two years away from the LA twenty twenty eight Olympics. 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.879 I have a little little residual trauma just saying that 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.199 one of the dumber things that I did in my 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:56.000 now nearly twenty year radio career. It'll be twenty years 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.720 in September that I've been doing this. 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.400 But when I was the. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.800 Sports reporter for McIntyre in the Morning, our morning show 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:11.320 for many years here on KABC one, that I won 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.560 two Golden Mic Awards for even though I know nothing 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:20.960 about sports, we would cover pretty extensively the work of 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:26.320 Eric Garcetti to bring the Olympics to Los Angeles in 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.200 twenty twenty four, but that didn't work out. In fact, 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.080 I think before that they tried and I think Boston 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.719 beat them. But finally it got put on the books 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.640 the twenty twenty eight Olympics. And in twenty eighteen, when 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.840 we found out this was happening, I came up with 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.920 a bit and I thought it would be really, really funny, 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:52.679 and it was. For like the first week, I would 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:56.080 at the end of my sports report every single day 0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.800 do an official countdown clock with the Olympic theme and 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:05.120 a clock ticking sound effect, saying there's only three thousand, 0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.080 seven hundred and forty eight days left till the LA 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:09.640 twenty twenty Olympics. 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:12.000 And here's why. 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.080 It's one of the dumber things I've ever done in 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:18.560 my career. That's a bit you now have to commit 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:25.280 to for ten years, and it doesn't matter what you're doing. 0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:30.320 If you do the same bit every single day for 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.280 weeks and weeks and weeks, even if the bit is 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:38.119 only ten seconds long, it gets old. It gets on 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.800 people's nerves. It becomes the first thing that they can 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.800 pick on you for. You realize that you're in this 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.560 giant hole. And eventually I just gave up doing it. 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.400 But for a while I was like, yep, I had 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:54.200 it on my I had a little script that I 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.720 wrote every single day with like the angel scores and 0:23:56.720 --> 0:23:59.840 the Dodger scores, and I would have my three thousand, 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:05.160 five hundred and eighty seven days I did that. So 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.840 the moral of the story is, don't commit to a 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:09.439
