Speaker 1: Well, thank you so much for stopping by today. Absolutely

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: all right.

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: So, Gavin Newsom has finally publicly acknowledged that he is

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: considering running for president, although all of us who've been

47
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: following him have known that for quite some time. And

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: it seems like Gavin is starting to worry about certain things.

49
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: He's acknowledging that they're certain things that are going on

50
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: right now in the world that could portray him in

51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: a negative light as a candidate for president of these

52
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: United States. One of the things that he is clearly

53
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: worried about are visual images of empty downtown city centers

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: in California, Sacramento specifically, which is the state capitol. It

55
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: is a city that is associated with Gavin Newsom, and

56
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: a lot of the state workers work from home, which

57
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: means if you're in downtown Sacramento at five o'clock on

58
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: a weekday, there are tumbleweeds rolling down K Street because

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: nobody's there. The sandwich shops are going under, the coffee

60
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: places are going under. The longtime restaurants are empty and

61
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: barely hanging on. And he knows that is an awful

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: look for him, and he's so concerned about it that

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: he's willing to go to war with the SCIU over that,

64
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: which is something that he's been hesitant to do so

65
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: far in his as governor. He and the unions have

66
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: largely been on the same page. But he is so

67
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: worried about that he's willing to go at it with

68
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: longtime allies. He's doing the same thing over the wealth

69
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: confiscation tax. What do you make of Gavin Newsom's recent

70
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: activity in going at it with longtime allies because of

71
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: this problem of California's condition being hung around his neck.

72
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, he knows that in his budget that he's paying

73
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 4: the rent on all of these buildings, their government buildings,

74
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 4: and during COVID they had to condemn basically the Nancy

75
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: Pelosi Federal Building in downtown San Francisco because they actually

76
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: had to tell people not to show up to work

77
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: because it was so dangerous down there. But he knows

78
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 4: that a big chunk of his budget is going to

79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: these empty rooms and it's hurting the economy downtown and

80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: those business owners are upset, and you know, the basically know,

81
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 4: the remote work is not great for everybody. You know,

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: it is not great for productivity. In a lot of ways.

83
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: You have a big debate going on about that, But

84
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 4: the SEIU have backed him. They backed his prop fifty,

85
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: so I'm sure they're saying what gives because their responsibility

86
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: is to the workers. Actually had a great story about

87
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: that that they're actually not they're not looking out for

88
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: all of the workers. They're coercing people into union membership,

89
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: and we can talk about that as well. But yeah,

90
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: it's a pretty interesting move on his part. But you know,

91
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: they are honestly bleeding this budget dry, and with so

92
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: many different services I've mentioned, I've reported on the illegal

93
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: immigrant services. The one billion dollars the taxpayers are have

94
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 4: provided during Newsom's time in office for illegal immigrant services,

95
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: and so he needs to come up with the money somewhere.

96
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: And he doesn't like the fact that these buildings being

97
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: they're empty and it's embarrassing.

98
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: Are you expecting to see more friendly fire from Gavin

99
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: Newsom in in every man for himself sort of way?

100
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: And I say that because let's look at the big

101
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: story in LA today, which is that the number of

102
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: people living on the streets is going up, and it's

103
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: going up dramatically. And Karen Bass was asked about that

104
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: because she's in a tough re election fight as mayor

105
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: of Los Angeles, and she said, well, don't blame me.

106
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: Previous mayors didn't do enough to fight homelessness. And the

107
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: federal government is cutting the funds that are coming to LA.

108
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, so is the state. Well,

109
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: if you're complaining about the state cutting your funds, you're

110
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: complaining about Gavin Newsom. And Gavin Newsom isn't going to

111
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: like that. I wonder if we're going to start to

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: see friendly fire between those two as they point fingers

113
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: at each other and blame the other for the homeless

114
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: numbers going up in LA.

115
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I think to your yeah, your other point,

116
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see a lot of this

117
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: going on because Gavin Newsom knows if he's running for president,

118
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: he has to protect those Silicon Valley billionaires that are

119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: going to provide the funding for his campaigns. Uh. And

120
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: you know he's doing that with a billionaire's tax, even

121
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: though he's promoting the billionaires packs a national billionaire's tax,

122
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: so that, uh, California doesn't have to bear the full

123
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: burden of having its tech titans fleeing and having you know,

124
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: changing the economy along with it. But it comes to this, Yeah,

125
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: I think that Karen Bass, You've seen this before with

126
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom. He likes to deflect on homelessness when it

127
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: comes to He said he's going to fix homelessness since

128
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: you know, since he was San Francisco mayor, which is

129
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: ridiculous he has. It's only gone up and spiraled under

130
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 4: his watch, and you know Karen Bass, and he's pushed

131
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: it down stream saying, well, I've told these counties to

132
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: build more for the homelessness. But you know, as you

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: know John and Randy, it's not a housing first issue.

134
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 4: You know, they liked that's He's tried that for so

135
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: many decades now, bought into this whole liberal mentality that

136
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: if you just provide the housing for the homeless, it

137
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: would fix itself. But look in LA, housing for homelessness

138
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: is up two and twelve percent, and yet we still

139
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: have an increase in homelessness.

140
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

141
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: So I do think you're going to see in a

142
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: circular firing squad coming up on this issue.

143
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the alleged veneral investigation into the

144
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: business practices of the Newsoms, because Gavin Newsom who is

145
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: the source of this story, by the way, claims that

146
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: the Trump administration is trying to find ways to get

147
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: him because he is a political enemy, and that's what

148
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: the Trump administration does to their political enemies. Recently, Jennifer

149
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: Siebel news Him went on MS NOW with Stephanie Rule

150
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: and was asked about that, and Stephanie Rule correctly brought

151
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: up the fact that this investigation did not start under

152
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: the Trump administration. It started in the Bide administration, and

153
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: she said, doesn't that blow your argument out of the water,

154
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: And Siebel Newsom's reaction was, haamanahamanahamanahamanahamana, I don't know anything

155
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: about that, moving on to Donald Trump as a bad guy,

156
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: and I just don't see how Gavin and company continue

157
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: to use that argument and have anyone believe them when

158
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: the investigation was clearly started under the Bide administration, and

159
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: not just that, but from a California whistleblower from a

160
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: California office. This did not start in Washington, d C.

161
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: This started right here in Gavin state.

162
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: That's right. Well, I think that Gavin Newsom is getting

163
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: pretty nervous and that's the reason why he went forward

164
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: with that story. Was in the news a lot preceding

165
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: the fact that he basically disclosed who's under investigation, and

166
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: then immediately started fundraising after that for that issue, saying, hey,

167
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: I'm you know, a target of Donald Trump and this

168
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: is a political representation issue, and on and on. But

169
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: we all know that there was a lobbyist who was

170
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 4: working with his former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who

171
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: was wearing a wire and we only know that thanks

172
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: to the California Post excellent reporting. So you know, the

173
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: California Post has already changed in the game. I'm a

174
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 4: contributor to proud to say, I'm a contributor to the

175
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: paper and to Christopher Ruffo's team Manhattan Institute, and they're

176
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: getting inundated by real journalism. All of a sudden, we

177
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: have several open records requests out from the Manhattan Institute

178
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 4: into Gavin Newsom's office, and so does the California Post.

179
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 4: And we're finding all kinds of things about what the nonprofits,

180
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: their inner one nonprofit and specifically Jennifer Newsom's nonprofit that

181
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: called the Representation Representation Project and how it interacted with

182
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: her for profit side. Now, as I recalled John and Randy.

183
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: I remember reporting on Michael Pats a similar investigation US

184
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: attorney's investigation from DC Michael from the same exact issue

185
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: his nonprofit was interacting. Money was flowing in between the

186
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,479
Speaker 4: two to its for profit side. He's a documentary filmmaker

187
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: who Trump appointed to head the US Agency for Global Media.

188
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: Interestingly enough, he had to make restitution in the end,

189
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: his for profit side, I believe, had to pay his

190
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 4: nonprofit back two one hundred thousand dollars. So, you know,

191
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: this is something that comes up from time to time.

192
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: If you are going to create a nonprofit has to

193
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: be for the public good and it's subject federal law.

194
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 4: So we'll see what comes out of this investigation. But supposedly,

195
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 4: you know, we know that Dana Williamson's colleague, probably former

196
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: colleague right now because she wore a wire for more

197
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: than a year and who knows what in conversation she

198
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: picked up and who she talked to will find out

199
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: when the investigation is final.

200
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people pass around these emails

201
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: that show four families running California, where it's the Pelosis,

202
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: the new Sims, the Browns, and I don't know the

203
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: Getties or whomever. And I think the working assumption is

204
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: they're all ultra wealthy. They all have tons and tons

205
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: and tons of money. And I don't necessarily think that's

206
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: entirely accurate when it comes to the Newsoms. The way

207
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: I see it, and correct me if I'm wrong, the

208
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: Newsims have access to money. They have it in their

209
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 3: social network. Her family is rich, the Getties have helped

210
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: finance his various businesses and his political career. But it's

211
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: the people around them with the money. It's not them

212
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: with the money. Because a lot of people look at

213
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: these allegations or look at these stories that are percolating,

214
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: and they go, why in the world would the newsoms

215
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: waste their time with a side hustle. They're rich, he's

216
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: politically ambitious, he could be president. And I say, just

217
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: because they're around money doesn't mean they have it. They

218
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: have a very expensive lifestyle. The kids go to private schools,

219
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: they go on luxury vacations, they wear the finest clothes.

220
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: She's a movie star, for heaven's sake. We know that

221
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: how they live. So I assume it costs a fortune

222
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: to run that operation. And if you're not sitting on

223
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: the billions of dollars in the bank as they are not. Then, yeah,

224
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: it does make sense why you would do a side hustle,

225
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: particularly if you appointed the Attorney general who's the one

226
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: who's supposed to be looking after these sorts of things.

227
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: Rob Bonta is never going to blow the whistle on him.

228
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: The oversight from the legislature isn't going to happen. Let's

229
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: not forget what happened during COVID when he ruled us

230
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 3: like a king and rendered the legislature to be totally irrelevant.

231
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: They really haven't bounced back and asserted their authority as

232
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: a coequal branch of government.

233
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: I could easily see why.

234
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: The Nuisance would do something like this if they think

235
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: no one is minding the store.

236
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: Well, they did have to have her wealthy parents, who

237
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: were Republicans at least at one point, who live in

238
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: Montana sign off on their latest purchase of their multimillion

239
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: dollar home name I think as a nine million dollar home,

240
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: as Jen leven Laar has reported on extensively. So yes,

241
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: she's used to a very luxurious lifestyle and with her parents,

242
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: and like you said, all this ties to Hollywood. You know,

243
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: she had ties to Harvey Weinstein Too, and then she

244
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: at once, at one point try testified against him. You know,

245
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: there's disputing on whether that was prodded or not, because

246
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: you know, the originator of the Me Too movement said

247
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: she called her up and said, what can we do

248
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: for you? On behalf of Harvey's Weinstein's how can we

249
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: make you happy? So you know, she does run around

250
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: in these circles, and I felt like the nonprofit, and

251
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: I think the jury is still out on whether the

252
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: nonprofit did break any laws or not. I don't know

253
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: if she did it for money per se. I mean,

254
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: she did collect more than a million dollars from that

255
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: nonprofit reported and I was one of the first people

256
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: to report that in our book Fools Gold. But since

257
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: then the California Posts has updated that number, and they

258
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: quoted some people saying it's a disproportionate number to her salary,

259
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: to the amount she brought in for that particular charity.

260
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: I don't think it's bringing in a ton of money.

261
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: But she needed to have a platform. I felt like

262
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: she wanted to have a platform so she could run

263
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: for when he ran for president, which she knew he

264
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: was going to or wanted to, and so Why didn't

265
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: she just join another nonprofit? Why did she have to

266
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: have this There's two nonprofits that she has. She has

267
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: one for that promotes women on corporate boards and women

268
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 4: in the workforce more equity, and then she has this

269
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: other gender justice that's related to her documentary filmmaking. So

270
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 4: if she wanted to promote more women in the workforce,

271
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: I think there's plenty of nonprofits that already exists for that.

272
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: But it is the documentary filmmaking nonprofit that I have

273
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: the deepest concerns about, because she's selling these documentaries to

274
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: public schools to screen them. She's charging a fee to

275
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: screen them, and I want to know. There's been a

276
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: lot of scrutiny over whether the guidance from the Department

277
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: of Education suggested or even did more to require these films,

278
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: not require, but suggest I want to see. That's what

279
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 4: one of my open records request is about, to see

280
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: how pervasive, persuasive, or mandating they were on requiring her

281
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: films to be screened in California public schools for a fee.

282
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 4: You know, that's where I have my biggest concerns about

283
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 4: this scenario, because some of these films are you know,

284
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 4: if you take a look at it, which I have.

285
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: They have some really indecent and somebody say it might

286
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 4: say even pornographic material in them. And then they have

287
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 4: this this pro transgender ideology aspect of them too, and

288
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: part of the curriculum of one of the films which

289
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: they have a genderbread man where you have interchangeable gender identities,

290
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 4: and so you know, I have real problems with such

291
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 4: a top down indoctrination approach in our public.

292
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Schools, well, especially if she's profiting from it.

293
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: I remember back when I was a political science student

294
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: as an undergraduate, we all had to take an ethics class,

295
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: and this way they explained it was you and for office.

296
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: You get elected, you say, I want to spend money

297
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: on my priorities. Okay, that's step one. Step two, I

298
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: want to spend money on my priorities, and I want

299
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: to give the contract to my friend. Okay, that's fine.

300
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: Step three, I want to spend money on my priorities.

301
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: I want to give the contract to my friend, and

302
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: some of that money is going to find its way

303
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: back to me.

304
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: That's when you go to prison.

305
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: And it seems like if they really went to step three,

306
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: they could find themselves in a heap of trouble.

307
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, why did And that's the same issues that we

308
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 4: have with this diaper gate issue. You know, why did

309
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: they need a nonprofit who's happened to be friends the

310
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 4: head of the nonprofit happens to be friends with Jennifer

311
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 4: c will Newsome and I believe sing on the board.

312
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 4: I will do a fact check on that afterwards, but

313
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: sits on one of her nonprofit boards. Why did Gavin

314
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: Newsom had to go through the nonprofit? If you want

315
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: to give provide, if you really true want to be

316
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: the nanny state and diapers for newborns, then when I

317
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 4: just give a cupeon for to costco to people to

318
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: buy these diapers, I don't see why you have to

319
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: run through It's always a nonprofit in California. Even Steve

322
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 4: I had with the nonprofits on it because I've done

323
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 4: so much reporting the issue of you know, this impropriety

324
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: or ethics concerns raised by these nonprofits, including with Rob

325
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: Bond and his wife. You know, there's a lot of

326
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 4: a lot of smoke there too. A lot of they've

327
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: got to slap with an ethical fine for securing money

328
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,040

330
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: to our government. When I was doing my reporting for

331
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,640

399
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the show, we told you that

400
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: the number of people living on the streets in Los

401
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 3: Angeles is going up, at least according to the new

402
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: count that's expected to be released very soon. Meanwhile, in Oakland,

403
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: they're dealing with their own homeless problem.

404
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: The city of Dumpy has a very interesting idea coming

405
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: out of Mayor Barbara Lee speaks for me. What if

406
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: we paid the homeless to clean up after themselves? Good

407
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: luck with that. It kind of reminds me of that

408
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: program in San Francis, Cisco years ago where we paid

409
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: people to not get shot at if they could, if

410
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: they could show that they didn't shoot anybody and they

411
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: didn't get shot, it had to be both. They got

412
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: like seventy five dollars a month. Hey, I've managed to

413
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: do that my entire life. Where's my seventy five bucks?

414
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: For more on what the City of Oakland is proposing,

415
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: here is ABC seven in the Bay.

416
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 4: We've got to.

417
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 5: Move in a new way to make sure that every

418
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 5: neighborhood is safe and clean. And my goal is to

419
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 5: make Oakland the safest, cleanest and greenest city in the country.

420
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: Well, you better get a wand lady, I don't mean

421
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: any ill will towards this comment, but eighty one year

422
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: old Mayor Lee will not live to see that happen.

423
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: None of us will.

424
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 6: Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee hoping to give a boost to

425
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 6: an initiative for cleaning up around encampment, drawing inspiration from

426
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 6: a similar program in Portland organ No, what.

427
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: You're seeing is not a hurricane. It's just Oakland. You

428
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: can't have nice things, but it's a nice place to be.

429
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 6: Lee's proposal would pay unhoused residents to clean their areas.

430
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 5: We're looking at out of the box kind of solutions

431
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 5: that are working in other areas.

432
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: To try to so do they get paid by the

433
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: garbage bag? So if they create more garbage then clean

434
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: up more garbage, do they get premium for that? It's

435
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: almost as if she hasn't thought this thrill.

436
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: Put pilots here in our own city to see if

437
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 5: they'll work here.

438
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 6: The mayor first announced the strategy earlier this year and

439
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 6: faced immediate pushback from city council. It went on to

440
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 6: pass an ordinance allowing city workers to immediately sweep encampments

441
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 6: without requiring alternate shelter.

442
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: The law here in Oakland, it's always, always, always. Noel

443
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: Gaio is in the safety vest.

444
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: He's like the village people. He's got a different costume

445
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: for every appearance on the news.

446
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 7: Very clear, you can I do an encampment around the school,

447
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 7: a business, uh, in a major neighborhood area.

448
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Have you seen the city? I think you can do

449
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: all of that. Listener Ron fifty three seventy seven rights

450
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: in this is now a Seinfeld episode. We need to

451

Speaker 1: hook them up to Rigshaw's Listener Domlo writes in out

Speaker 1: listener deep proud rights in would these areas be eligible

454
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: for federal disaster funds? Good question.

455
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 6: Council Member Noel gaioh opposes the mayor's plan and says

456
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 6: encampments are not only disrupting residents, but also local businesses.

457
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 7: I'm here with the Economy Lumber that it is a

458
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 7: growing business. They're trying to rebuild it due to the

459
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 7: fact that, you know, they had a major fire that

460
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 7: was created by we had homeless on the railroad side.

461
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: You know who. You definitely don't want to have burned

462
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: down by a homeless person a lumberyard. Very good point, Randy,

463
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: process of rebuilding.

464
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 7: We love Oakland, We want to stay in Oakland.

465
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: John Bacon is the president of Economy Lumber and says, well, really, a.

466
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 1: Guy named Bacon didn't go into food. I wonder if

467
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: he's a vegan.

468
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 6: They don't know exactly what the cause of the fire was.

469
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 6: He says dealing with encampments is tough on business, citing

470
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 6: hiring armed security as an example of an extra expense.

471
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't whoa they need an armed security guard for

472
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: a lumberyard. It is Oakland. Let me rewind that fire.

473
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 6: Tough on business, citing hiring armed security as an example

474
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 6: of an extra expense.

475
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: An armed guard to protect lumber and not against the termites,

476
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: against the homeless.

477
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 8: So what the solution is I don't know that I

478
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 8: agree with the mayor is talking about doing, but really

479
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 8: interested in solving that problem.

480
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 6: Those in favor of the mayor's plan say it, we'll

481
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 6: do exactly that, And the people we spoke with in

482
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 6: the encampments agreed, whoa.

483
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: Wow, the high cost of housing really has that woman flustered?

484
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: Someone got a blowout.

485
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 3: That hair looks like nineteen eighties Al Sharpton if he

486
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: was electrocuted.

487
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: This is why we had to add video to the show.

488
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: The audio description is only so much. I'll think it's

489
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: a good idea.

490
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 6: I agree, I'll think they should have been doing it.

491
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: And Okay, I'm not really sure. Is this man or woman?

492
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to see what's under the hood.

493
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: Everyone more used to do that segment totally politically incorrect.

494
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: He'd bring twelve people up onto the stage and you

495
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: had to guess if you're in the audience man or woman?

496
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: And then what was the big reveal at the end?

497
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 3: Would they have to pee out a campfire?

498
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: Ten?

499
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: Don't start them to do what they should do?

500
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: Theres possible.

501
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 6: Why do you think it's a good idea?

502
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: Because it's good for the community, It makes it look better.

503
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: You guys might bring in more money.

504
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: If it's more.

505
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: Cleaner, well, if it is more cleaner, things would be

506
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: more better. That's Lee, an encampment resident who literally is

507
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: living in a gigantic pile of garbage.

508
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 3: Okay, you said, is that a man or a woman?

509
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: After hearing the interview, I'm thinking.

510
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Animal, vegetable mineral, Jeff writes in what's hiding in that

511
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: hairdo a lot of birds? You know, this has really

512
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: been an issue for the city of Dumpy. Excuse me

513
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: if you're not watching this. If you're not watching the

514
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: show right now, make sure you watch this feed later

515
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: on because it's special. Quite a presentation. It takes some

516
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: effort to get some hair looking like that. You think

517
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: she just woke up like that? Or do you think

518
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: that that's the deal. I couldn't tell you. I mean

519
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 1: it may catch on. I don't know.

520
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the way they wear their hair at all

521
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: the hot clubs in Europe.

522
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: I said, hell no, baby boy, let me get up

523
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: on out of here. Chris rights in Deadhead, She slept

524
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: on the sidewalk. Are there any nonprofits that do haircuts

525
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: for the homeless? I feel like this person could use one.

526
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: You want to send her to Jose Ebert. It's gotta

527

00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: that day where John put out the challenge to get

545
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: five hundred likes, the next day the show had the

546
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: biggest audience it's ever had. We don't know how this works,

547
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: but we're all playing along.

548
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: Here was an update on graffiti towers in downtown La

549
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: mister Randy Waying.

550
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: The Tagger Towers are getting a facelift because somebody finally

551
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: bought the building. They spent about four hundred and fifty

552
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: million dollars, so they got it for a song, but

553
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: it'll cost another billion to get it finished. And they say,

554
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: starting today they're going to clean up all the graffiti

555
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: and put up razor wires so no one can get

556
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: in there. A realtor would call this a fixer upper.

557
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: For more on this, we go to KTLA five.

558
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 9: One of LA's most sympamous eye sores, the notorious Graffiti Towers,

559
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 9: is finally getting cleaned up tonight. The building's new owners

560
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 9: have committed to removing the graffiti in the next ninety days.

561
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 9: This is encouraging.

562
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 10: News for neighbors who have been pushing for the change

563
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 10: for months. KJLA is Haley Winslow is live for us

564
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 10: and down to LA with all the details.

565
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 6: Halle, how's it looking out there?

566
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 10: It's slow, but it's going to take a few months to.

567
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: Get all over.

568
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: You know, you could use the same script that this

569
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: reporter is reading right now in front of Tagger Tower

570
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: in Boyle Heights.

571
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: It's slow. The only difference is Tagger Tower doesn't smell

572
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: nearly as bad as Boyle Heights, although it's not really

573
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: that far from Boyle Heights either, that's true.

574
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 6: This graffiti off, but at least it has start.

575
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 10: You know, this became.

576
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: You know you can see the razor wire being constructed

577
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: in the background. Doesn't it look like she's doing a

578
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: hit from outside a prison. Yeah, it looks like someone's

579
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: about to be executed.

580
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 10: A very unexpected LA landmark, perhaps photographed as much as

581
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 10: the Hollywood Sign in the last couple of years by

582
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 10: turists driving by from blight to bucket list. The city

583
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 10: now hopes that this iesore becomes one of LA's biggest

584
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 10: comeback stories, gazing out across the skyline and one of

585
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 10: the biggest and most desirable cities on the globe to

586
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 10: this in the center of the city of Angels an

587
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 10: unexpected eyesore.

588
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: It really was the emblem of Los Angeles for such

589
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: a long time because, as Imelda told us, the downass

590
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: kids just did not like it.

591
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 4: The neighborhood kids, the downass kids don't like it.

592
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: Imagine being the guy that has to clean that up. Hey, honey,

593
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: how was your day at work today?

594
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: Oh? It was great? I cleaned up the graffiti on

595
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: one floor. Hey, he's got some job security. Although this

596
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: may be a very Sissyfian task, rolling that boulder up

597
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: the hill, only to have it come back down.

598
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 10: The planned billion dollar construction project, Ocean Wide Plaza, stalled

599
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 10: when the developer ran out of money.

600
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: We watched the Chinese developer, who may have gotten the

601
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: approval for this project by bribing one Jose Wheezar could be.

602
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: Remember when Wezar was in Vegas and the pit boss

603
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: at the high rollers table had to call the FED saying, Hey,

604
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: this guy's compromised.

605
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: How much do you want to bet? He was an

606
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 3: awful blackjack player.

607
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 11: Construction workers coming in every day, and then we watched

608
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 11: it stop, and then we watched the graffiti. And that's

609
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 11: when our neighborhood groups took action as much as possible.

610
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 10: What was supposed to be a luxury destination with homes,

611
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 10: a five star hotel and shopping instead became one of

612
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 10: the city's You.

613
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Know, who wouldn't want a luxury living destination in one

614
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: of the worst neighborhoods in California.

615
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: No, I mean, look at that, It's the worst art

616
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: I've ever seen. That building looks like the cleavage of

617
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 3: a biker check.

618
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 10: Most recognizable failures the graffiti towers, an irresistible canvas, and

619
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 10: Internet phenomenon. Tigers climb floor after floor, covering more than

620
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 10: two dozen stories with massive graffiti visible for miles. Thrill

621
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 10: Seekers base jump from the rooftops. A YouTuber stretches slack

622
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 10: line between two towers and walked across it hundreds of

623
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 10: feet above Downtown. Photographers flocked here to rack up millions

624
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 10: of views, but Wednesday marks the beginning of a new chapter.

625
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 10: A federal bankruptcy judge approved the sale of Ocean Wide

626
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 10: Plaza to a partnership led by KPC and Lenley's, and

627
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 10: clean up crews have already begun removing the graffiti that

628
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 10: define this for more than two years.

629
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: They were finally able to start working on it because

630
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: it took forever to get through bankruptcy court with this thing.

631
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable that this was allowed to happen, and nobody

632
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 3: at the city cared the golf.

633
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 8: We decided early on will take it out as it

634
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 8: was originally designed and complete it as quickly as possible.

635
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 10: By late twenty twenty eight, locals can expect that luxury

636
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 10: plaza just blocks.

637
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: Who's moving in there. Seriously, the rents for that are

638
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: going to be what four five thousand dollars. I do

639
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: not understand the appeal of living I understand the appeal

640
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: of living in a fancy high rise in a safe

641
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: city or a really fun city, but downtown LA is

642
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: neither of those things.

643
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: Could you imagine paying a fortune to live there, and

644
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 3: then you move in and then some idiot tags up

645
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 3: your big window with your view.

646
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 10: It's from Crypto dot com arena and the convention center,

647
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 10: and no more nonsense.

648
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 8: We're fencing with all of the barbed wire, razor wire

649
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 8: on top. We have twenty four to seven security.

650
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: Someone is going to sue this developer over trying to

651
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: hop that fence and cutting up their leg. Boy, they

652
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: have everything but a moat filled with alligators.

653
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 8: So we don't anticipate any more problems.

654
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 10: Those daredevils are not going to have to get extra

655
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 10: creative to break through that barrier. Now the proud new

656
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 10: owner has got the winning bid for four hundred and

657
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 10: seventy million, it'll cost them at least another eight hundred

658
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 10: and fifty million to beautify it and make it the

659
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 10: luxury plaza that it was meant to be, and.

660
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: Then when it gets tagged up, they're going to need

661
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: to spend a whole lot of money to clean it

662
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: every single week.

663
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 3: These coupleple must be from out of town where they

664
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 3: don't know how we do business here flve years ago.

665
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 10: And you can expect that to be complete by late

666
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 10: twenty twenty eight. So after the LA Olympics, reporting live

667
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 10: in downtown LA on low LA five News.

668
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: So there you go. Taggart Towers has finally been sold

669
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: and the cleanup has begun. I don't think i'd live

670
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: in that building if you gave me a unit. I

671
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 1: know there's no way I would. I sometimes romanticize about

672
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: the idea of living in a fun downtown. I'm having

673
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: a blast in Toronto right now. I would love to

674
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: get a condo in San Francisco if we can, you know,

675
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: bump my salary by about ten times. But there's no

676
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: way I would ever live in downtown Los Angeles. I

677
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: would live in downtown Long Beach. I would never live

678
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: in downtown LA. There is nothing to do there and

679
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: it will It is right next to skid row and

680
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: it will never be safe, and.

681
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 3: It's right next to all the freeways too. And it

682
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what time of day you're on those freeways.

683
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: Those freeways are as clogged as Rosie O'Donnell's arteries.

684
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: It's been a while since it too a shot at Rosie.

685
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 3: You know, she's back in the States now. Oh boy,

686
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 3: she had been living in Ireland. She's self deported
