WEBVTT - Los Angeles Neighborhoods Dealing With Coyotes

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>While the city council might only give you sixty seconds

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to where your grievance is.

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:06.880

<v Speaker 2>just send me an email. I'll direct you in the

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>right place. Randywang Radio at gmail dot com. We start

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>with an issue very near and dear to my heart,

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>and that is the welfare of little dogs and little

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 2>cats in Los Angeles because the coyotes are coming out

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>in full force. We have now seen video evidence of

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 2>coyotes doing their worst in neighborhoods in West LA, which

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>the last time I checked, that's nowhere near any kind

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>of mountains or foothill, and the coyotes have come out

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>to the suburban neighborhoods. And it's funny. You watch this

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>piece from CBSLA and they're like, boy, I wish someone

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 2>from the state could take these coyotes and put them

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>somewhere where they're supposed to be.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 3>They don't do that.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>They don't do anything until they actually attack a child.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Because I guess we don't care if they attack our

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>dogs and cats. We don't seem to do anything. And

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I understand the argument of, well, you know, we've destroyed

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 2>their habitat, and you know, because of all the wildfires,

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing for them to eat, the drought, what have you.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>They've got to go into the neighborhoods. But I don't care.

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>They're a predator of two of the most important things

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.119
<v Speaker 2>to me in the world, my little doggies. So I'm

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna protect myself no matter what. But what am I

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>left to do? What can I do? Because I'll tell

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you this is something I deal with every single year.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>We're in one of those seasons once again where the

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>coyotes are wandering around my neighborhood in the middle of

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the sanm Fernando Valley, and I feel really bad because

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a neighborhood where there's a lot of cats

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of outdoor cats. And this time of

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>year you don't see as many outdoor cats, but you

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>do see one or two coyotes wandering around. Now, the

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>first time that I saw one, I was scared to death.

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I had never seen a coyote up close.

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 3>And what it happened was.

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I was turning the corner and I was walking past

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>a house that was kind of notable in the neighborhood

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>for having way too much overgrown brush and overgrown trees,

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and you couldn't really see past the house. So as

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 2>soon as I passed the wall and I'm about to

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>walk past the next house, sitting on the lawn of

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the house next to the house I was walking while

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm walking my two little dogs at six point thirty

0:03:55.000 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, was a coyote just sitting there sleeping.

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he looked at me, and I looked at

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>it realized what it was, and although I did not

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>really know what to do at the time, I ended

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>up doing the right thing. I started shrieking really, really loudly.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I started screaming, which I have now taught my dogs

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>to not worry about that if I'm doing it. But

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.679
<v Speaker 2>I freaked out and the loud noise and I acted

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 2>really big. That does scare it away. When it happened

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the other day, I was a lot more aggressive about it.

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I was rounding the corner with my dogs, and I

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>don't walk my dogs at six am. I do not

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>walk them at dawn or dust specifically for this reason.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I also don't walk my dogs at dust because that's

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>when the skeeters come out, and I have the tastiest

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>blood in the world, according to mosquitoes. But I'm walking around.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 2>This must have been eight thirty nine o'clock in the morning.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>It's summertime, so it's already hot out, the sun's out,

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'm walking around. On the corner I see on

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the street the coyote wandering. And

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>we've already had evidence that the coyote's been around anecdotally,

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 2>people have seen it at night. My neighbor wanted to

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 2>make sure that I knew that the giant pile of

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>you know what, that was made by a coyote, because,

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what, most of the people in this neighborhood

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 2>pick up after their dogs, but who's picking up after

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the coyote. Anyway, I see it, and I immediately am like, well,

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 2>I could pick up my little dogs in just head

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 2>for the hills, or I can stand tall and just vent.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 2>I straight up went get out of here, started shaking

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 2>my keys, dancing all around, and you know what, it

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 2>got out of there. But I don't like that I

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 2>have to do that, and I don't like that I

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 2>have to be hyper aware, Like I'm getting to a

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>point where I don't even feel comfortable walking my dogs

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 2>while I'm listening to my news stories. They used to

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 2>be the thing that I do. But I can't be distracted.

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I need to be seeing everything. I need to be

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>hearing everything. Definitely won't be looking at my phone. I've

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 2>got to keep my eyes and my ears on the

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>prize because the most important thing to me is protecting

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>my little dogs. And my little chihuahua is seven pounds.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>She would be breakfast. I wish there was more we

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 2>could do. I really do. It drives me crazy that,

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>in the name of protecting environmentalism, what have you? We

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 2>have to allow the predator, which and I don't understand ecology,

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>But what benefit does the coyote have? Like the stray

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 2>cats have a benefit they eat the rats, but the

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 2>coyotes just eat the cats, which means nobody's eating the rats.

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 2>So I don't see why we can't just trap and

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>exterminate these little predators. I don't care that they're just

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>doing what they're supposed to do. Also, this is just

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>another time for a public service announcement. If you're one

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 2>of those people that just leaves out dry food for

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>all the stray animals.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Don't do that.

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 2>You feed these things, they decide that, oh, I should

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 2>stay here. You got to make life as uncomfortable as

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>possible for all of them. And I feel bad for

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the outdoor cats, But the outdoor cats are better off

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>having to scavenge food for themselves in a controlled environment,

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>then having all the food out there for them to

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>then be.

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 3>The coyotes lunch.

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I hate that this is something that we have to

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>deal with in Los Angeles. It's not like we're living

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>in the mountains. I live in boring ass suburbia. Why

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>is this happening in my neighborhood? And why is it

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 2>happening in West la Now in Boyle Heights. The situation

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>gets worse by the day. We have the fire that

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>led to the rotting food, that has led to the rats,

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 2>which is now leading to an infestation with flies, and

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>all of this is happening at the same time while

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the typical other failures of Los Angeles just happened to

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>be evident. So right down the street over the weekend

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>from the burned out site of the warehouse where they're

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>still trying to pull out millions and millions and millions

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 2>of pounds of food. We had a water main break,

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and the last thing you want with all those rats

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and all of that diseased, disgusting food is standing water.

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>And of course you know it took them over the

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 2>weekend to fix it, but it is emblematic of another

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>issue of the failure of Los Angeles. And these are

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 2>so common that they don't even get as much attention

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>as they should. But the water main breaks are something

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.079
<v Speaker 2>that we know is going to happen. We know how

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 2>much destruction they could cause, how much water we can

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>lose when these things are gushing and gushing and gushing.

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>But the city has decided, with so many other things,

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>and this is where the priorities of the city are

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>completely whacked out. It makes more sense to just fix

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred year old water mains when they break

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>than meticulously trying to replace the old infrastructure before it breaks.

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>We don't fix the sidewalks. We just pay out the

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>liability claims when people slip, trip and fall on them.

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>There is nobody that is forward thinking. And sure your

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 2>local elected officials will say, well, there's just no money

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>in the budget for that kind of stuff. Well, then

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 2>let's start re examining what we're spending our money on,

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 2>because the government of the City of Los Angeles should

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>be really taking care of the basics.

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I was reminded as I watched the town hall in

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Boyle Heights where Karen Bass got booed and cussed out,

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>where hildes Elise got booed and cussed out, where Barbara

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Ferrara got booed and cussed out, which, by the way,

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>on the Accountability podcast on Wednesday, we're going to cover

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 2>that entire town hall uncensored.

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna want to watch that.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 2>There was a moment where a lot of the residents

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 2>were complaining about how many disasters seem to happen in

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the City of Los Angeles, specifically in neighborhoods like Boyle Heights,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>neighborhoods that are zoned next to all kinds of different

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>industrial what have us. And a woman spoke up working

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>for the city to give her take on what their

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>department is trying to do about this issue, and it

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>was Caprimattics. Caprimatics is the head of the Department of

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Civil Rights in the City of Los Angeles. What that

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>department does, you ask, Well, that's a very good question.

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 2>She makes a healthy salary, she's probably got dozens of

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 2>staffers under her, and she was responsible for the big

0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 2>campaign last year, do you remember, and we covered it extensively.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 2>It may have been my favorite show of last year,

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the just Say Hello campaign. The LA City Department of

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Civil Rights took your taxpayer money to put forth a

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>public service announcement campaign with bus benches and bus paint

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>overs and radio and TV to tell everyone around you

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 2>to just say hello. That was a real thing that happened.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And that is one of the many, many, many, many departments.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe their department isn't as big as the fire department

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 2>or the police department, but all of these nonsensical departments

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.359
<v Speaker 2>that do not do the basics we don't.

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Have the money for.

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Tell me what the legitimate reasons are that we have

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a Department of Civil Rights in the City of Los Angeles,

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and what it is they do that's not already protected

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>by state law.

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I do not understand it.

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You think about some of the things that we pay for,

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:13.559
<v Speaker 2>for instance, Measure ULA, the highly debated mansion tax, although

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:18.959
<v Speaker 2>it's not really a mansion tax because it goes after

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>any home. If it's multifamily and worth more than five

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>million dollars, doesn't matter, it's not a mansion. Nope, it's

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>still getting taxed at five ten percent of it's above

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a certain value. That money is supposed to go towards

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 2>housing programs. But do you know where a big portion

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>of the measured ULA money goes to the city of

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>La allocated a whole bunch of money to it to

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.199
<v Speaker 2>eviction defense attorneys.

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 3>So what that means is we have.

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Attorneys from nonprofit law firms like Betzedek and what have

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you that are getting paid by the city to then

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>sue the city. And it's this cycle that goes over

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 2>and over and over again. And if you ever watched

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the La City count meetings, which I don't recommend, you

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>will not learn anything of value. But in between the

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>gadflies of all the people who are saying obscenities into

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the microphone, you will see the eviction defense attorney showed

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>up every single day for months and months and months.

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 2>You must renew our contract. You must protect diviction defense

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 2>because they're getting paid and they need that. And you

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>have so many different NGOs and nonprofits that are getting

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 2>money from some program that make sure they show up,

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 2>which they have the free time to show up at

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>ten o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday, to get

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>their voice heard and to say very loudly, keep funding

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>my program.

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 3>We have so many of these things.

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 2>The city is stretched so thin that we do not

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>have money for the basics, which include replacing the water mains.

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>If you've listened to this show for a while, you're

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.839
<v Speaker 2>well aware that I'm a big advocate of police surveillance.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big advocate of the drone programs that we

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 2>have in cities like San Jose and San Francisco in

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Orange County. In Sacramento, they just used drones to crack

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 2>down our a whole bunch of fireworks. I'm also a

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 2>huge proponent of the Flock camera system, the license plate

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>reading cameras. These have made a huge difference in cities

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 2>in the Bay Area, and it is cracked down immensely

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 2>on a huge problem that faces up and down California,

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's Carthf's. In fact, a notable story, the city

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>of Richmond in the Bay Area canceled their contract with

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Flock after the locals got all pissed off about government

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>data being shared or the information being looked at by

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>federal agencies. And they weren't even talking about ICE. But

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess we don't want to work with any federal agency,

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>not the DEA, not the FBI, what have you when

0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>it comes to tracking the movements of criminals. Okay, well,

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 2>here's the fun statistic. Richmond got rid of their FLOCK

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>program and in three months car thefts went up fifty percent.

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>So the city of Los Angeles doesn't really have a

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 2>program like this. We don't have the money for it.

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 2>LAPD certainly doesn't have the money. But you have different

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood organizations, different homeowners associations that have bought these cameras

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and put them in their neighborhoods, allowing LAPD to access

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the data and use it to fight crime. And the LAPD,

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>which is controlled by the LAPD Commission, which is controlled

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>by a bunch of anti police wackos, have decided that

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>we should cancel our contract with flock because we care

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 2>more about making sure that the data we collect is

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>not being accessed by the federal government than making sure

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 2>we have every data PA Police possible on the people

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 2>that are stealing cars. Left and right in the city

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>of Los Angeles. I think that is a failure. I

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>think we need to lean into technology, not steer away

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>from it. And look, I know there are disputes when

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to ICE, I get that, But shouldn't we

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 2>be wanting to work and wanting to share data with

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the FBI and the DEA, especially when it comes to

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 2>tracking some of the gangs that are trafficking drugs and

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 2>women and what have you. If the license plate readers

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 2>can help with that. Shouldn't we be all on the

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 2>same team. But the privacy advocates, which again I find

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that term to be hilarious in twenty twenty six, when

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>everyone is broadcasting every second of their life. I'm broadcasting

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>right now on the radio and recording this for a

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 2>video to post on YouTube later. Yes, we all care

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>about our privacy so much. I find it all to

0:16:55.520 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 2>be nonsense. Culver City, place that I drive to every

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 2>single day, has made an interesting decision based on the

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 2>complaints of constituents. They've decided to shut down a proposed

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 2>drive through on Supulvita and Sawtel. The problem they're going

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 2>to have is that proposed drive through is an in

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 2>and out burger and there's a reason that the in

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and Out Burger on Venice and Culver City wraps around

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the block. It's because it is that popular. And I

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>understand that there may be concerns about traffic, although the

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 2>local people that don't want this are like, well, we're

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:41.399
<v Speaker 2>complaining about tailpipe emissions, which is pretty sweet. You're worried

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 2>about the tailpipe emissions from the fifteen cars that are

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 2>waiting in line at in and Out Burger, and not

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the tailpipe emissions from the two hundred thousand cars that

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.439
<v Speaker 2>are sitting on the four h five Freeway that you

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 2>live next to. Okay, I don't think this is going

0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 2>to last long. I think there is going to be

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 2>a massive flow back. We should be encouraging more. If

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 2>another in and out burger can be successful in Culver

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>City and based on the lines on the one on

0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Venice Boulevard and based on the lines of the one

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 2>in that Costco parking lot in Marina del Rey, yeah,

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 2>they could probably use it. You know, it's gonna do well.

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 2>It is a fantastic job creator. It's one of those places,

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>like a Costco, where without much of an education, you

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 2>can have a real life. You can make a decent living.

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 2>You can get healthcare, you can get benefits, you can

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>get vacation. In no way should we ever be stifling

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 2>in in and out Burger from going in anywhere in

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles County or the state of California. So I

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 2>don't think that one's gonna go well. And I feel

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like Culver City is going to backpedal on that decision.

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 2>And finally, in southern California, the TikTok and teen trends continue.

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>This time, posters emerged of a planned takeover It Not'sperry Farm,

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>but law enforcement was proactive, not reactive.

0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 3>After what happened in Newport Beach.

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Huntington's Beach made sure that didn't happen in their town,

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 2>and Buena Park made sure this did not happen in

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 2>their town.

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 3>They were patrolling.

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 2>They were watching out for all the kids, because the

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>last thing we need is the chaperone policy going back

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 2>because the kids all want to beat each other up

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 2>on TikTok And have said it before, I'll say it again.

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>How are the social media platforms not being held responsible

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 2>at all for profiting off of people promoting illegal activity?

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's the hill that I like to fight on

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.679
<v Speaker 2>every single day. It's the News Blitz with Randy Wang

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:36.639
<v Speaker 2>on Talk radio seven ninety KABC. It's the News Blitz

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 2>with Randy Wang on Talk radio seven ninety KABC. If

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.679
<v Speaker 2>you'd like to email us, you can do so at

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Randy Wang Radio at gmail dot com. Ed Wright saying

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 2>about coyotes. My experience from years ago in the La

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Times was delivered to individual homes. I had a route

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>and burbankle above Glen Oaks and daily saw coyotes. Oh,

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>when I lived up there, I saw them too, but

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 2>you're in the foothills at the time. One thing I

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 2>learned is they run in pairs. One would be on

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 2>one side of the street and one would either be

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.680
<v Speaker 2>further up or behind. In this way, they would scarecats

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to run across the street and the other would catch them.

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Be sure to look around and make sure there is

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 2>a partner close by. Just wanted to give you a

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 2>heads up too, because I have a couple of small dogs.

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for continuing to bring up this problem.

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much.

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Ed. We all got to stick together as the city

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and the county and the state don't care at all.

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 2>They seem to care more about the coyotes, and I

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>don't understand that one bit. We got a half hour

<v Speaker 2>gonna have a brand new episode on Wednesday where we

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 2>will cover the Uncensored town Hall where Karen Bass and

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Barbara Ferrara got cussed out for their failures and boil Heights.

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Now in the Bay Area, Daniel Lurie had a major

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:02.160
<v Speaker 2>pushback to supervisor billal Ma Mood, who's the supervisor who

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.199
<v Speaker 2>took over for Dean Press and the Tenderloin.

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Supervisor Ma Mood.

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Wanted to do a very Zoron Mamdani kind of idea

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco publicly funded grocery store. So the idea is, well,

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.399
<v Speaker 2>there are neighborhoods like the Tenderloin, like Soma, like the

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Mission where you don't see a lot of grocery stores.

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.919
<v Speaker 2>And Supervisor my Mood claims that while the grocery stores

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that have closed, the grocery companies are not giving up

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 2>those leases. They're leaving those buildings vacant because they don't

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 2>want competitors to move in. So what we need to

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 2>do is tax those businesses that are keeping those vacant

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.439
<v Speaker 2>spaces and use that money to give to nonprofits to

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:50.119
<v Speaker 2>open up public corner stores. And Daniel Lurry thought that

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>was not a great idea, it was kind of half banked,

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>and used his political capital, to which he has lots of.

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.719
<v Speaker 2>He's the most popular mayor in America to shut this

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.360
<v Speaker 2>thing down before a vote was even started on it.

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>And there's a couple of things here. One, if these

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>neighborhoods were safer, the grocery stores and the Walgreens would

0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 2>feel safe to open and operate. You can't really blame

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the Walgreens for shutting down when they had to literally

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.359
<v Speaker 2>lock up the ice cream and the pizza with a chain.

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>That is not hyperbole, that really happened. But let's say

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:29.160
<v Speaker 2>that even then, maybe it's too expensive to operate, maybe

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just not making sense. Well, the city can work

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 2>with that. The city can definitely make it easier to

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:38.200
<v Speaker 2>operate and incentivize. But even if that's not working, then

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe what we need to do is the pop up model,

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the farmer's market model. I think that's the way to

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 2>go here. Farmers markets are fantastic and something that I

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 2>feel that our government, federally and state doesn't promote nearly enough.

0:23:55.000 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that if you're on food stamps, if you're on EBT, yeah,

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you can use that at Ralph's. That's pretty obvious for

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 2>some reason. And people love to cite food deserts for

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the reason that you're allowed to use it at McDonald's

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.640
<v Speaker 2>and Pizza Hut and what have you. Although I think

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 2>that is the complete wrong message, and I do not

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 2>like the idea that. Remember, food stamps are a double subsidy.

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 2>In fact, if you're Walmart, they're a triple subsidy because

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Walmart pays their people so little that they're on food

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 2>stamps and then they use their food stamps at Walmart.

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Gee.

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I wonder how that became America's biggest employer. That's not

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a rip off or anything, but one of the things

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that we should encourage, at least make people publicly aware

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 2>is those EBT cards, those food stamps. You can use

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>it farmers markets to get fresh produce from local farmers.

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:51.439
<v Speaker 2>And if we're going to be subsidizing somebody, it should

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 2>be the local farmers. Anyway, that's a whole point in

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 2>saying we should have more pop up farmers' markets events.

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>They have them in places in San Francisco.

0:24:59.040 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 3>You've ever been to the.

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 2>One in Culver City near the Culver City Steps. It's massive,

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 2>it's huge. More events like that, you're gonna get more

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>opportunities for people to have more healthy food. But this

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 2>program here, the publicly funded grocery stores, I agree with

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Mayor Luriy it is half baked at best. The Bay

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Area Rapid Transit Agency BART says, even though ridership is

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:26.640
<v Speaker 2>way up thanks to things like making sure they have

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.400
<v Speaker 2>safety gates in every single station, including the one where

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the lady got stuck in trying to sneak through, their

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>revenue is still below what it was in twenty nineteen.

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And they say they are driving off the proverbial fiscal

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 2>cliff and if you don't pass that transitt tax, we're

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:48.160
<v Speaker 2>going to see a cut in service. Notably, we've talked

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.719
<v Speaker 2>to Deborah Allen, who was a BART board member, and

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 2>she says she's not necessarily so sure that's the case

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 2>that they would have to cut service. Part of the

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.159
<v Speaker 2>problem here and whether they get another tax increase or not,

0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 2>they have labor contracts that are way too generous and

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>like so many other agencies. This is true with police,

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 2>it's true with fire. It's also true with transit agencies.

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 2>There is so much overtime being paid out and sometimes

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 2>completely unnecessarily so that the labor budgets get soaked up

0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:23.159
<v Speaker 2>from that. And when you talk about you know, what

0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 2>really is the cost who operating these systems? Because it's

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:30.679
<v Speaker 2>not like you know, BART is expanding a little, but

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>most of it's already built out. You understand the cost

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:35.480
<v Speaker 2>of La Metro. They're still building it and it still

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.160
<v Speaker 2>goes nowhere in the Bay Area. Most of it's built,

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:39.919
<v Speaker 2>and it does go to a lot of places. So

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 2>most of your costs are labor. And if the labor

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 2>costs are that outrageous and you cannot make your money

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>through it, we'll see if the sales tax passes. I

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know if there is an appetite for it, let alone.

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 2>In San Francisco, it's a double one. They want the

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:56.919
<v Speaker 2>sales tax for BART and they want a separate sales

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>tax for MUNI. There is a horrific story in Vallejo

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>of a jackass young driver driving around with his girlfriend

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>doing stunts in Vallejo, doing donuts, what have you. He

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 2>ends up getting into a place where she gets thrown

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 2>from the car. He runs her over. And what do

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.680
<v Speaker 2>you think the dumbass boyfriend does when he runs over

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 2>his girlfriend. He takes off and he speeds away, and

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 2>now she's in a coma. We need to get rid

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of the incentive structure for people to do these kinds

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of dangerous things.

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 3>We know why they're doing it.

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 2>They're doing it for social media clout, and they're doing

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.719
<v Speaker 2>it for money, and they're doing it for clicks. We

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:45.919
<v Speaker 2>cannot have a system where we incentivize all kinds of

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>illegal activity. I hope they catch this guy, and I

0:27:49.320 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 2>sure hope they break up. Here's one of those stories

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:57.360
<v Speaker 2>that's perpetually, always a thing. Oakland is always just about

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:00.879
<v Speaker 2>to sell the coliseum, you know, thee that used to

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 2>house the A's, the coliseum that used to house the Raiders,

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the coliseum that also used to house the Raiders. They

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>just lost another team, the Oakland Roots, the soccer team.

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 2>They're not going to be playing there either. But back

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 2>in the Shang Tao days, Oakland said, we're going to

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:20.880
<v Speaker 2>sell this thing to Ray Bobbitt and the aa SEG

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:24.359
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to solve all our budget woes. Meanwhile,

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:28.640
<v Speaker 2>aa SEG never had the money to get this thing

0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 2>to begin with. And here we are two years later

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 2>and the city still trying to figure out how to

0:28:34.400 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 2>finance this company that does not have the money to

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 2>buy the stadium. And part of the deal is well

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Oakland would get six percent of any ticket sales.

0:28:44.160 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Ticket sales to what there's no teams there.

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's a lot of knocking on California on

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 2>this show, on this station, But California is an innovator.

0:28:57.080 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 2>There is so much research and development that happens in

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 2>this state. To use a Gavin newsomism, that is true,

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 2>even though when he says it it makes you irritated.

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 2>The future does happen here first. And the Bay Area

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>is about to be home to the world's first fusion factory.

0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>You heard about this probably a year ago, where we

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 2>have finally shown a way to generate energy from fusion,

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 2>not fission, which is how nuclear power plants are done,

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:32.239
<v Speaker 2>but fusion apparently, and I don't know the science for this,

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm in radio, forgive me, but you have a laser

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that heats up to a certain incredible hotness that ends

0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 2>up generating its own energy. Kind of reminds me of

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 2>whatever Doctor Octopus was working on in Spider Man two.

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 2>That's where my reference goes immediately. But if we have

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 2>this energy source, they could be self perpetuating. We're starting small,

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 2>by the way, you have to start with a vast

0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>amount of energy to even create a increment mental increase,

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 2>But this could be a game changer. And if any

0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 2>advancements really do happen in creating a clean energy future

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 2>where we're not fighting over oil in the Middle East

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and we're not putting up solar panels in such a

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 2>mass that they're a massive danger to a neighborhood. If

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 2>we actually have real new technology, clean ways to do

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 2>these things, it could be a massive game changer. And

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 2>these kind of things are being researched every single day

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 2>in the Bay Area and in California. And finally, it's

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 2>not an encampment. It's a movie set people in the

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 2>business district in San Francisco, where I have stayed at before.

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I was at the Hilton Business District right there at

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Portsmouth Square. They were all freaking out because an encampment,

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:52.640
<v Speaker 2>a homeless encampment, was erected overnight. And wait a second,

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Laurie, you said you were cracking down on this.

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco's seen a notable reduction in tents in street homelessness.

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't a homeless encampment. It was a set

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 2>piece for a zombie movie being directed by Joseph Gordon Levitt.

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Because apparently filming in the Bay Area is up, filming

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco is up. There was that Letters from

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Isabelle movie in San Francisco where a lot of it

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 2>was actually shot there, and it takes place there, and

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 2>it's It's one of the reasons why I'm not as

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 2>like worried or I'm not as upset about runaway production

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 2>is because every major city has some kind of story

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 2>to tell. Having everything shot in Los Angeles seems just shortsighted.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 2>In the days where production is easy to be mobile,

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>you can move gear, you can get cruise to go

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 2>to different places, but shooting things for different locales it

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>gives a different flavor. And so I'm all for that again.

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I've made the point before and I'll make it again.

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Like people say that New York was a central character

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to the Sex in the City, Albuquerque was a central

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>character to the Vince Gilligan Universe, whether that be Breaking Bad,

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Better Cross Saul or Plurbius, and those shows would have

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 2>hit just a little differently if they were as originally

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 2>intended shot in Los Angeles.

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, good on San Francisco.

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 2>They get more production, LA can make it easier to

0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 2>do more local shoots and more productions, but as of

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 2>right now they're not. And we don't have time to

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 2>talk about how the unions keep shooting themselves in the

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 2>foot by asking for demands that the answer from the

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 2>studios is okay, We'll just go to Canada. It's the

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 4>So what makes this partnership with private home base and

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Children's Hospital of l A. Meaning, Yeah, so when I

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 4>first got the call, it's funny because growing up and

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 4>and uh, like my dad would always take me, you know,

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:33.239
<v Speaker 4>child ball games and you know, baseball and burgers is

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:37.560
<v Speaker 4>what we did. So he loves kind of absolutely loves

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.440
<v Speaker 4>how he loves the char burgers. He'd always taken there

0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 4>when I was younger. So you know when I when

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 4>I called him and asked him about it, he was

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 4>to the moon. So yeah, it kind of goes back

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:50.719
<v Speaker 4>to the rooms of me a little bit. And you know,

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:53.319
<v Speaker 4>and obviously coming here is the first time I've venue

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 4>to the home base and I didn't know it was

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 4>this close to daughter stadium, you know, and I think

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 4>this is such an awesome thing to kind of get

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:03.239
<v Speaker 4>everybody in the community here and uh, you know, it's

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 4>not too important the stadium so to act.

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 2>So what's your favorite thing of the men?

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 4>So I do the the double chart burger, So I

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 4>don't I'm not a big onion guy. Guy. You know,

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 4>cheese and catch up. You know, I'm paying enough fries.

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:23.359
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, we we keep it keeping simple and my wife,

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 4>my wife will say she's like do you even taste it?

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 4>And like I'm just eating for the calories. But this

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 4>is this is this is so good. So what about

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 4>your teammates?

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything I've been trying to computer charge?

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 4>So obviously with like show and Yam, there's been a

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 4>sushi that's been introduced to us a lot more. What

0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:45.400
<v Speaker 4>is it ka Ni Geary when we went to Japan

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 4>and then ever since then, every time we go.

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:49.839
<v Speaker 3>You' a sushi guy.

0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's been really good. So because usually, like before,

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:58.879
<v Speaker 4>I would just up with California, so it's very but yeah,

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 4>now I'm I'm definitely broadening that.

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:05.839
<v Speaker 2>So we're setting in for the mural by Al the Gonzalez.

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:09.800
<v Speaker 4>He was to make a mural of you in your life.

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:12.400
<v Speaker 4>It's you got to have the scream, You got to

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 4>have the emotion coming out of the mound, okay, you know,

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 4>or the intensity you know. And I think just what

0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:22.440
<v Speaker 4>I would like to see is like the crowd in

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 4>the background, because I always feel like when I run

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:26.839
<v Speaker 4>out on the mountain, like I hear that, I hear

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 4>my my walkout song, and then I hear the crowd

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:30.719
<v Speaker 4>and they're always super loud, and you know it's just

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 4>it's I know how much they support for myself and

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 4>my life, and so yeah, I definitely like that never

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 4>goes unnoticed for me. We all know al A Dodgers

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.840
<v Speaker 4>have them, those die hard fans and they do what

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:45.680
<v Speaker 4>would you tell them to get involved with You'll just

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 4>talk a little. I mean it's just you know overall

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 4>cause right and with the children and one on especially

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 4>with my myself and k and our situation. You know,

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 4>they do really good job. It's even you know past

0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 4>players and have always told me really good things and

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.680
<v Speaker 4>so yeah, it does touch a pretty special place in

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 4>our heart. So you know, take this cornership off like this.

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 4>It's been a great And can you tell us about

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:19.000
<v Speaker 4>the donation because it's going to be kicking off this Thursday.

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, we proceeds twenty percent of the process. If

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:27.839
<v Speaker 4>you're going by, well we'll be going to c HL.

0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:31.280
<v Speaker 4>So it's it's definitely donate, right.

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:38.799
<v Speaker 2>And one last question, if you weren't an amazing picture picture.

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 3>What career were doing?

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, I did get my degree in recreational management in college,

0:37:44.000 --> 0:37:47.480
<v Speaker 4>so yeah, I wanted to open up my own gym

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:52.440
<v Speaker 4>and like training facility because I always thought like when

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 4>I was younger, I never had a place like workout

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:58.560
<v Speaker 4>or like do anyting like small specific, So I definitely

0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 4>that was like my senior project. My mom was a

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 4>compositive tool maker, so she makes uh a pot like

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:10.160
<v Speaker 4>the carbon fiber outsides for the Predator drone. So I

0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:12.799
<v Speaker 4>would have probably gone into that feel first and then

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 4>make money so that I could potentially fund the gym

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:20.360
<v Speaker 4>and the training facilities. So something in that lines. I

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:23.000
<v Speaker 4>definitely like working with kids and doing the kids camps

0:38:23.000 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 4>and stuff. We've been a tale dating a quite a

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 4>few times and it's fun and you know, it just

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:33.760
<v Speaker 4>it's not boring, right. You get to smiles on children's faces,

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:37.839
<v Speaker 4>and I should inspire a lot of lager things for sure. Yeah,

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:41.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's it just seems natural, I think. I

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 4>mean every time I seem, you know, like when I'm

0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:46.080
<v Speaker 4>in the bullpen, there's kids that will come up and

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.720
<v Speaker 4>ask about pitch grips and pitching and mentality and stuff

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 4>and wat conversations just right in the bullpen. So there's

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:53.279
<v Speaker 4>a lot of stuff that goes in notice down there

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 4>that we're trying to let the people know that's amazing.

0:38:56.520 --> 0:38:59.239
<v Speaker 4>Thinking that's so much. Think this is a good radio

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 4>any lasts for your fans? We uh three pet.

0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's our own Trisha Cruz who talked with Alex

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Facia about this great fundraiser. Dodger's ex Habit home base.

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:16.520
