I don't believe your 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: opponent in the Lieutenant Governor's race has stopped by the 49 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: environmental and public health disaster in Boyle Heights. But you 50 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: and Steve Hilton did Can you explain to us first 51 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: how bad the smell was and what type of situation 52 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: you saw going on around you? 53 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 4: You know what, it is absolutely incredible for the Party 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 4: of Democracy, for the Party of Environmental Justice, for the 55 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 4: Party of in climate change and all of that other stuff. Basically, 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: this party, the Democrat Party, has a new lord of 57 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 4: the flies. It is Gavin Newsom, and right by his 58 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 4: side is another lord of the flies, Karen Vass. And 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 4: together they have allowed the burning down of one of 60 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 4: the major working class communities in California, predominantly Latino, the 61 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: Boyle Heights community. But you know, I live only about 62 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: maybe four miles from the epicenter of where that fire 63 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: started on June seventeenth. Think about it, This fire started 64 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: on June seventeenth. I remember seeing the giant flume, all 65 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: the plumes, blacks, gray, smoke, white smoke, and nobody was 66 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: electing a pope here, but it was incredible. And you 67 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 4: know what, there was no evacuation, There was no declaration 68 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: of an emergency health alert. People were told, oh, just 69 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 4: go indoors and shut your windows and shut your doors 70 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: and basically remain invisible and don't come out. And that 71 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 4: was more for the Lord of the flies and the 72 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 4: powers that be, so that they wouldn't have to tell 73 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 4: anybody what was happening right here in the City of 74 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: the Angels. So Steve Hilton and I did go out 75 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 4: last week for the launch of our Hilton Romero for 76 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 4: Governor Lieutenant Governor campaign for the general election, because we 77 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: want to call attention to the fact that the working 78 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 4: class has been abandoned by the Democrat Party headed up 79 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: by Gavin and Javia Bisseta and Fionama and Karen Bass 80 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 4: and the the board as supervisors, who haven't cared anything 81 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 4: about the quality of life and the health concerns of 82 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 4: this major working class Latino community in Los Angeles. So 83 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 4: that's why we went to draw exposure to the fact 84 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 4: that this would not happen under a Hilton Romero administration. 85 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: We've received some reports that people who live in that 86 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: neighborhood who were told by the mayor, who were told 87 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: by Barbara Ferrer, who's in charge of the La County 88 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Department of Public Health, that it was perfectly healthy and 89 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: acceptable to breathe in that smoke from what was a 90 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: chemical fire that burned for many moons, And many of 91 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: them have said that their lungs are now filled with fluid, 92 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: that they are bleeding from the nose, that they are 93 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: experiencing rashes from using the water to bathe in. We 94 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: now know that there are superflies that the county Public 95 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: Health Department is now worried about that if those flies 96 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: get in an open wound, you could be in serious 97 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: trouble and contract diseases that could really harm your health. 98 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: And it doesn't seem like anyone cares. It seems like 99 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: they're being told when they go to a public health 100 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: clinic to take tilet all and to go home that 101 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: they're pleas are falling on deaf ears how much rage 102 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: and I don't even know how to describe it, but 103 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: what's going on right now is those people are just 104 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: being ignored. What kind of anger is existing in that 105 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: community right now towards the elected officials that don't care 106 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 1: about their misery. 107 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: You know, there is a. 108 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: Great deal of anger. There is a great deal of 109 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 4: you know, why are the powers that be in Los 110 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: Angeles not paying attention to the East side of Los Angeles. 111 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 4: This community did not burn down completely like the West side, 112 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 4: but there are tremendous after effects similar to like there 113 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: was when the Palisides burned down. You're absolutely right, they know, 114 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: and they lied to the people's face, the fake doctor Ferrer, 115 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: you know, the mayor, the city council members, the bard 116 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 4: of Supervisors, the governor, the Democrat Party, opponents of myself 117 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: and Steed, they have simply thought, well, you know, who cares. 118 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 4: They are low income community. Nobody's going to complain, nobody's 119 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 4: going to say anything. And we intend to keep this 120 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: issue alive. We intend to highlight that this is a 121 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 4: major environmental justice as well as a public health catastrophe 122 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: in southern California. You know, when the day that we 123 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 4: were there, and we were there in the morning early, 124 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 4: it was virtually impossible to get two words out without 125 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 4: having to like swat the fly away they were circling everywhere. 126 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 4: We were talking to community members and there were several 127 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: who were there who were saying, it's not only about 128 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: the flies, it's about the rats. There's about the rats 129 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: circling this and we know what rats can bring, the smell, 130 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: the intensity of the odor. And then people are just 131 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: told go indoors, go away, nothing to see here, Just 132 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 4: shut the window, shut the door. I mean, it is 133 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: absolutely incredulous. And I was listening to your broadcast earlier 134 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 4: about how people are also saying they can't even take 135 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: the trash out. We've had heat waves in Los Angeles 136 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: this week, is another heat wave coming up. You put 137 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 4: out a piece of trash just every day, garbage into 138 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: your trash bin, and the smell is awful. You can 139 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 4: imagine tons of rotting food out there in the open, 140 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: and basically the city saying they're working as fast as 141 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: they can. No, that's not acceptable. I'm proud of the 142 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 4: people standing up. They're not taking it anymore. You know, 143 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 4: our campaign theme for the runoff is enough is enough. 144 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 4: Yavasa were finished. No more rotting food, no more rotting politicians. 145 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 4: It is time for a change. And Boyle Heights we 146 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 4: believe is crime for this change. In California, there. 147 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Was an event that took place at a community center 148 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: in Boyle Heights that the mayor attended, that the public 149 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: health director, Barbara Ferrera attended, The city council woman attended. 150 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: Other public officials at the local state level were there. 151 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: They were booed, they were hissed at, they were cursed 152 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: out in English and in Spanish. Galvin Newsom was not there. 153 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: Galvin Newsom has not appeared in Boyle Heights since this 154 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: environmental disaster took place. If he did show up to 155 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: Boyle Heights in front of a live audience, in front 156 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: of people who live there, who are experiencing this catastrophe firsthand, 157 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: not a handpick group of people, but the actual people 158 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: who are dealing with this mess were in that room, 159 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: what kind of reaction do you think Gavin Newsom would get. 160 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 4: Oh, he would be proclaimed signor lord of the flies. 161 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 4: This is on his watch. This is a failure of 162 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 4: state government complicit with county and local control as well. 163 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: So he would be chewed out. And also they would 164 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 4: be told to their face menthetas that means lies, you'd 165 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: lie to us about the public health risk. Look, nobody 166 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 4: wants a disaster in a community. But even if we 167 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 4: look into Orange County, remember when there is the concern 168 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 4: about the explosion of that tank that was building a pressure. 169 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: It didn't blow, but people were evacuated, they were moved 170 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 4: out of the path of danger, and they were put 171 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 4: into a place where they had safe they had air conditioning, 172 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 4: they had water, they had food. They weren't breathing the 173 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 4: smell of the potential of what was happening. So all 174 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: of that happened in Orange County, just a few miles 175 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 4: down the seven to ten freeway from where we are 176 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 4: in Boyle Heights. None of that happened here in East 177 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 4: Los Angeles. And I'm glad that the people took care 178 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 4: of the people in Garden Grove. In Orange County, it's 179 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 4: a more affluent community. But every Californian, regardless of what 180 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: their income level is, what their skin color is, what 181 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 4: is their primary language of choice, It's almost just unbelievable 182 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 4: that they would just ignore people, all of them, from 183 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 4: the state to the county to the local. The councilwoman, 184 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: isn't she the one who doesn't even know how to 185 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 4: say the pledge of allegiance? I mean it's absolutely horrendous 186 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 4: that none of them until they went to that town hall, 187 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: all holding hands together. I think if Gavin Newsom were 188 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 4: to finally show his face, he would be probably you know, 189 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 4: run down and told, you know, do something and if not, 190 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 4: then get out, resign. He's already running across the country 191 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 4: on his own presidential delusions. But it's absolutely incomprehensible what 192 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: has occurred. And so the anger is righteous, the anger 193 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 4: is just. But I urge people don't stay angry, as 194 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 4: they say, don't get angry organized. And when we organize, 195 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 4: we need to turn it around so we're not installing 196 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: the same puppets that were there to watch the meltdown 197 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: of the Palisades of Paradise. Up north again too, we've 198 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 4: seen vast swaths of the Inland Empire being burned as well, 199 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 4: and now Boil Heights, and this one is especially bad 200 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: because it's toxic. You're dealing with the extreme toxic materials, 201 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: and the government officials think they're low income people so 202 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. Thank god, Steve Hilton saw, I saw. 203 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 4: We went out there with community members, We talked to 204 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 4: homeowners and others, and they are just they've had it 205 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 4: since June seventeenth. 206 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: It's incredible you mentioned the racial makeup of this neighborhood. 207 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: It's almost entirely Latino. And the crowd who is currently 208 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: in charge newsim Bass, the state legislature and company, the 209 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: board of supervisors, they see race and everything. They're constantly 210 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: lecturing us about race. Everything is racial to them, regardless 211 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: of what the subject is. Yet, you have an environmental 212 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: disaster going on right now in an area that is 213 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: primarily Latino and they could care less. What does that 214 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: tell you? 215 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: Well, think about it. The current supervisor for La County 216 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 4: Hilda's soleise a career politician. She runs for everything. Once 217 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 4: upon a time she was awarded a prestigious Kennedy sent 218 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 4: her award for a profile encourage environmental justice. Where is 219 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 4: she even the failed Assembly candidate who's running in East La, 220 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 4: Wendy Carrillo, she called out the fake supervisor, you got 221 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 4: an award for environmental justice. She talks about it all 222 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 4: the time, But when it happens right under her nose, 223 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 4: right under her watch, with the allegedly the fake doctor 224 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: that Hilda supports this, Hilda runs off because she's too 225 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: busy campaigning for her next gig and so it is. 226 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: You know, they talk a good game, but they don't 227 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: do anything. And that's why, again it's up to the 228 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: people vote differently, because the definition of insanity is doing 229 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 4: the same thing over and over and over and expecting 230 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 4: a change, and all we get is another fire and 231 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 4: more negligence, and each time they're getting worse and worse. 232 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: This one here in the inner city. I mean, this 233 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 4: is a high density neighborhood, and your children, there's a 234 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 4: lot of businesses there. They're not just homes and apartments. 235 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: There are businesses mixed in amongst all the neighborhood as well. 236 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 4: And so it's one that's really frightening because even if 237 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 4: more of those embers had spread even further than what 238 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 4: they had, this would have been really bad. I only 239 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 4: live a few miles away, and so depending on how 240 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: the wind was blowing, and you may recall the wind 241 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 4: took a few shifts and turns during that time. Everybody 242 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 4: was on high alert. Those of us who lived in 243 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 4: the perimeter and around that plume that was going forward. 244 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 4: We could smell it, we could see it. I remember 245 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 4: my eyes were watering. Your throat felt very raspy for 246 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: a while. And I was, like I said, about maybe 247 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 4: four miles away from the epicenter. But you put that 248 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: all around. There was a freeway. I remember driving the 249 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 4: freeway the first night of the fire, and it looked 250 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 4: like I was in Dante's Hell at one point. I mean, 251 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: the sky was red and orange and everything. It was 252 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: really a dangerous situation. But crickets from the elected officials 253 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: who did nothing to evacuate to even you know, route 254 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 4: people off the freeway. And this is the five Freeway 255 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 4: by the seventy ten, it's a major intersection there. Nothing 256 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 4: was done. It's almost the idea they burned in the Palisades, 257 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 4: let them burn in Boyle Heights. I feel like that's 258 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 4: the arrogance of these elected officials. They don't care. 259 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: Why do you think Javier Bessera hasn't been there wasn't 260 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: this part of his old district when he was in 261 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: the Assembly and when he was in the Congress. These 262 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: are his constituents. 263 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 4: I'm so disappointed with Secretary Bissetta. I think he has 264 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 4: a few things on his mind. In fact, if I 265 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 4: can hold this up, I just came from a press 266 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 4: conference at the Pomona Fairgrounds. We had a unveiling of 267 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 4: the Beseta migrant child basically the abuse, the abuse that's 268 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 4: coming out. So he's dealing with some three hundred thousand 269 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 4: lost kids that he can't find under his watch. He's 270 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 4: dealing with the fires exactly in his old neighborhood. It's disappointing. 271 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 4: And I think the sad thing is because the Democrats, oftentimes, 272 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 4: due court the Latino vote, everything's balkanized, everything's by skin color. 273 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 4: They put you into a category. So there's this idea 274 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 4: that the Democrats are a plantation and if you're a 275 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: certain ethnic group you have to belong to that. I 276 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 4: think they just assume that, you know, Latinos will be 277 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 4: there signed up and they can just go and ballot 278 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 4: at harvest and get those votes. I don't think it's 279 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 4: going to be that easy this time at that town hall. 280 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 4: And I was not there at that town hall, but 281 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: I know many people who were there that day. They 282 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 4: gave me the full scoop Steve, and I had already 283 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 4: gone out there to call on the mayor, call on 284 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: the governor, call on LA Public Health officials to change course, 285 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: call the evacuation, still do something to check the health 286 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 4: elderly people people on machines, I mean people in wheelchairs 287 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 4: as well. What's happening to them? And I think they 288 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 4: just figure, you know, we own this vote, and I 289 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 4: think that's really the attitude. So it's up to us, 290 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 4: we the people, to just say, nobody's vote is ever owned, 291 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: This is not a plantation. We have the right to 292 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 4: walk away. I used to be a member of the 293 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 4: Democrat Party and then I saw firsthand how the party 294 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 4: treated people who they just assumed were basically, you know, 295 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 4: the little puppets and patronized did certain handouts, just expecting 296 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 4: that a vote would be given in return. So it's 297 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 4: up to the people to turn it around and to 298 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 4: call upon the secretary, the gubernatorial candidate for the Democrats, 299 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 4: and so many more, because you know, in reality, this 300 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 4: really isn't even a partisan issue. It really shouldn't be. 301 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: It shouldn't be about Democrats Republicans. It should be about 302 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: health concerns, environmental justice, as they say, it should be 303 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 4: about doing the right thing to protect people, some of 304 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: whom are very frail, elderly, you know, of low income, 305 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 4: low resources. They don't have the luxury to check into 306 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 4: the four seasons to go get away from this they're dependent, 307 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 4: they're not necessarily they don't have their own car. Maybe 308 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 4: they are transit dependent. And so where is the county 309 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 4: and the state, you know, the lord of the flies 310 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 4: to come in and actually swat those flies away and 311 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 4: save the people. We need a giant fly swater in 312 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 4: California and that's going to be our vote in November. 313 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 4: Use it as a fly swatter to swap not the 314 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 4: flies away, but the rat politicians that are there basically 315 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 4: encouraging the further pollution and decimation of this community. And 316 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 4: if I sound angry, I am angry because between lost 317 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: migrant kids and a neighborhood where you couldn't even breathe, 318 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: you had to plug your nose, you had to get 319 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 4: tears coming down your eyes. You can smell the intensity 320 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 4: of this, and we did that press conference just last week. 321 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 4: Fire started June seventeenth, count the days. 322 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: Gloria Romero, former majority leader in the California Senate, candidate 323 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: for lieutenant governor.

Well, we know that on the 367 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: fourth of July there was an online meetup among teenagers, 368 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: many of whom don't even live in the state of California, 369 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: where they all descended on Newport Beach, California at once 370 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: the city turned chaotic. There was a grocery store of 371 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: Vaughn's pavilion I believe that had all kinds of dlam 372 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: going on outside. The sand at the beach was chaotic. 373 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: There were police officers on horses trying to rein all 374 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: the kids in and the damage to property was something 375 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: that was significant. We then found out that sometime later 376 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: they were planning on doing the same thing in Huntington Beach, 377 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: but the Huntington Beach police officers caught wind of it 378 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: and shut it down ahead of time. Then the same 379 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: thing happened at Knottsberry Farm. They shut it down and 380 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Randy the kids have been stirring the pot yet again, 381 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: and it looks like they have future plans for Newport Beach. 382 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: Newport Beach Police is making sure that nothing like the 383 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: Fourth of July ever happens again, as they are trying 384 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: to stop something like this before it even starts. So John, 385 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 2: it's time for another installment of our recurring segment Little Bastards. 386 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: Let's see what the little bastards are trying to do 387 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: now in Newport Beach.

Rachel Mennetov joining us 395 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 7: live from Newport Beach.

Now, the police department. 399 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 2: Admits, send your damn kids to Long Beach, not Newport Beach. 400 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: And it should be pointed out that the city council 401 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: got raked over the calls for allowing that to happen, 402 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: so they know if it happens again, they're probably going 403 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: to lose their job on the city council. So they 404 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: have every insteative in the world to be on top 405 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: of this. 406 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 8: That it was overwhelmed on the fourth of July, but 407 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 8: it also says it's not going to let that happen again. 408 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 8: Newport Beach police significantly increasing enforcement this weekend after intelligence 409 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 8: suggests another unauthorized social media organized gathering.

So preventing this kind of 486 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 8: chaos is critical to their livelihood and overall well being. 487 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 5: I'm here to make money, just like everybody else, you know, 488 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 5: at summer times. 489 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: When we that is the perfect body type for you, 490 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: for a bouncer, for a bar like that. 491 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who's going to cross him? 492 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: He'll just soon. We'll press you out of there and. 493 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 5: We shine and we prosper. But that day was probably 494 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 5: the worst day for me. Not in Newport. We won't 495 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 5: accept it, and. 496 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 8: We've asked some of the patrolling officers if there's been 497 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 8: any illegal activity. So far, things are really calm and 498 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 8: are under control at this hour. We're live in Newport Beach. 499 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 8: I'm Rachel Mentoph. I'll send it back to you in 500 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 8: the studio. 501 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: So there you go.
