Speaker 1: Something's not right. Your crime is up all over the state.
Speaker 2: The homelessness and the city is out of control.
Speaker 1: The economy is sick, axes are high, housing as expensive,
Speaker 1: and businesses are leaving.
Speaker 3: Leaving California means fixing, and John Phillips is just the
Speaker 3: man to leave the charge. It's the Fix California Hour
Speaker 3: with John Phillips and Randy.
Speaker 2: Wang, and we continue at one oh five in the

Speaker 1: we are seven subscribers away from five thousand on the channel,
Speaker 1: and we made a promise long ago that when we
Speaker 1: get to five thousand, john and I have to drive
Speaker 1: down to the Tiajuana River and do a show. Are
Speaker 1: you prepared for that? No, including technically, because I have
Speaker 1: to figure out a setup where we can have three
Speaker 1: microphones and I don't know what we do with the cameras,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make Nettter go down there with us.
Speaker 1: So technically I'm not prepared for it. Emotionally, I'm also
Speaker 1: not prepared for it.
Speaker 4: You can smell right here.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna bring a gas mask or just a
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll bring one of my old COVID masks. I
Speaker 1: still have a whole bunch in my drawer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be helpful, although I think the smell
Speaker 2: still gets.
Speaker 1: In through those. I think it does. What did we
Speaker 1: get ourselves into? It's these kinds of terrible ideas are
Speaker 1: what inspire people to subscribe, which is why we want
Speaker 1: you in the chat and to email us your ideas
Speaker 1: for what we should do when we get to ten
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers.
Speaker 2: All right, well, that should be something eight hundred two
Speaker 2: two two five two two two. He is a telephone
Speaker 2: number one eight hundred two two two five two two two. Well,
Speaker 2: we know that on the November ballot we're going to
Speaker 2: be deciding a bunch of different ballot initiatives, including the
Speaker 2: billionaire wealth confiscation tax and voter ID among others. And Randy,
Speaker 2: we have some pull results to show you just exactly
Speaker 2: where the state stands right now on those issues.
Speaker 1: When it comes to some of the hot button issues
Speaker 1: that are on the November ballot, I believe there are
Speaker 1: fourteen statewide initiatives. Let's see what the voters current say
Speaker 1: according to a poll that I am assuming is not
Speaker 1: one of Karen Mass's fake polls about Prop thirty nine,
Speaker 1: which is voter ID and Prop forty, which is the
Speaker 1: wealth tax, or as I like to call it, the
Speaker 1: take Tom Steyer's money away from him tax. I'm Tom Steyer.
Speaker 4: I'm about to ride the d.
Speaker 1: For more. Here's Fox forty.
Speaker 5: Fox forty is your local election headquarters. With less than
Speaker 5: three months from election day, a new poll is giving
Speaker 5: us an early look at where California voters stand on
Speaker 5: two major ballot measures. The survey indicates voters are leaning
Speaker 5: towards passing the so called millionaire tax while rejecting voter
Speaker 5: I D thanks for joining wait.
Speaker 1: I thought voter ID had all kinds of support.
Speaker 2: Yes, when you ask, should you have to provide your
Speaker 2: identification to cast a ballot? But because they now have
Speaker 2: titled it the Prevent People from Voting Act or whatever
Speaker 2: the hell it is, you change the entire dynamic of
Speaker 2: that election.
Speaker 1: Thanks Bobert Bob Bonta for Fox forty News at six thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm Richard Charpin tonight for Eric and I'm Niki Lorenzo.
Speaker 6: Fox forty Capital reporter Aton Wallace has a breakdown of
Speaker 6: the numbers and reaction from supporters and opponents both measures.
Speaker 1: Vote no. I'm thirty nine.
Speaker 7: US Senator Alex Padilla in Sacramento Tuesday, speaking out against
Speaker 7: Prompt thirty nine, the statewide measure that, if passed by
Speaker 7: voters this November, will require voter ID statewide.
Speaker 8: Prop thirty nine will make it harder for eligible Californians
Speaker 8: to register and vote, and accordingly.
Speaker 1: To register, we make everyone register automatically when they get
Speaker 1: a driver's license.
Speaker 2: You have to have a driver's license to get on
Speaker 2: an airplane, you have to have a driver's license, I
Speaker 2: think to get into a federal building. So if you
Speaker 2: go to serve on federal jury duty or whatever, you
Speaker 2: need to show a picture ID. In fact, I think
Speaker 2: you need to show a picture ID to get into
Speaker 2: their offices.
Speaker 1: You need to show a picture ID to get into Costco.
Speaker 1: They don't just let you pass by with some friends
Speaker 1: Costco card anymore. They check the face and they're not
Speaker 1: even gonna let you buy the hot dog unless you're
Speaker 1: really a member.
Speaker 2: And you know what's funny is that this crowd, the
Speaker 2: crowd that's opposed to picture ID, they're the first ones
Speaker 2: to claim that the election was rigged as soon as
Speaker 2: they lose. That's what Katie Porter did to draw all
Speaker 2: kinds of heat after that US Senate race when Adam
Speaker 2: Shift beat her.
Speaker 1: I call it the Shift gift.
Speaker 2: And then you go to Texas, Jasmin Krockett did the
Speaker 2: same thing when she lost that primary.
Speaker 1: There. To the guy who thinks they're six different sexes,
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of sore losers out there.
Speaker 7: This new UC Berkeley igs LA Times poll of just
Speaker 7: over two three hundred likely California voters, it appears a
Speaker 7: narrow majority of Californians feel the same way Padilla does.
Speaker 7: The survey finding fifty one percent of Californians oppose the
Speaker 7: voter ide ballot measure, while forty two percent support it.
Speaker 7: Seven percent are undecided.
Speaker 9: Argdemocity doesn't work if people don't have faith in election outcome.
Speaker 7: GOP Huntington Beach State Senator Tony Strickland is a longtime
Speaker 7: supporter and joint author of the voter ide Bella measure.
Speaker 7: Despite the latest poll, he believes the measure will pass
Speaker 7: as outreach about it increases the closer you get to
Speaker 7: election day.
Speaker 9: When a dog voted in the last couple elections in
Speaker 9: Orange County, there's a problem and right.
Speaker 1: Now, Although to be fair, the woman who registered her
Speaker 1: dog to vote didn't do it to cheat. She did
Speaker 1: it to prove that it's easy to register your dog
Speaker 1: to vote. Now, are you sure it was an actual
Speaker 1: dog and not the bounty hunter?
Speaker 9: Oh. What we're trying to do is bring a common
Speaker 9: sense measure that's been done by more than half this country,
Speaker 9: and it's a system that almost everybody in the world has.
Speaker 9: A democracy uses voter ID the poll.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't even take away mail in ballots. You
Speaker 1: just have to put in the last four digits of
Speaker 1: your socials.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't want any guard rails on our
Speaker 2: elections at all, and they want it to take a
Speaker 2: month to count all the ballots.
Speaker 7: Also asking respondents to weigh in on another ballot measure
Speaker 7: receiving a lot of attention, Prop forty, dubbed the California
Speaker 7: Billionaire Tax. The initiative, which is organized by the SCIU
Speaker 7: United Healthcare Workers West Union, would impose a one time
Speaker 7: five percent tax on the worldwide assets of California billionaires
Speaker 7: who've lived in the Golden State as of January first
Speaker 7: of this year. Backers say the revenue generated from the
Speaker 7: tax will help backfill an estimated one hundred billion dollars
Speaker 7: in federal health care cuts from the Trump administration's HR
Speaker 7: one law.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how much of it goes to the SCIU
Speaker 1: uhw's pension fund.
Speaker 2: See that's what they don't want anyone to know about.
Speaker 2: The money is not going to go to services for
Speaker 2: you today.
Speaker 1: It's going to go for.
Speaker 2: The pension plans for people who retired a long time ago.
Speaker 7: Or, as President Trump often described it, the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 7: The poll finding as of now, forty eight percent of
Speaker 7: likely California voters support the proposal, while forty one percent
Speaker 7: are opposed. Another eleven percent are undecided. As THEIU United
Speaker 7: Healthcare rer.
Speaker 1: Now not having over fifty percent. As we're just a
Speaker 1: little more than two months away from the election, that's
Speaker 1: not great for the billionaire tax crowd.
Speaker 2: No, and it's not just going to be the usual
Speaker 2: suspects who are spending money against it.
Speaker 1: Don't forget.
Speaker 2: The California Teachers Association and other unions are going to
Speaker 2: do the same thing.
Speaker 7: Workers Western Union president Dave Reagan is a lead organizer
Speaker 7: of the measure.
Speaker 10: The healthcare system is under ENORMALOIUS pressure now, and if
Speaker 10: we don't do something, millions of people suffer.
Speaker 1: He notes.
Speaker 7: The measure has the endorsement of the California Democratic Party,
Speaker 7: but it comes as Governor Gavin Newsom and a wide
Speaker 7: coalition of business groups, healthcare and teachers unions, as well
Speaker 7: as Democratic gubernatorial candidate Javiard Bassera have all come out again.
Speaker 1: I forgot he was running for governor. He's everyone did
Speaker 1: for it. Being just a little over what nine weeks away,
Speaker 1: sure as hell isn't campaigning, No, he's.
Speaker 7: Not interested, arguing the measure could drive wealthy residents out
Speaker 7: of California, reducing tax revenues and hurting state programs over
Speaker 7: the long term.
Speaker 11: This is not something that will allow us to be competitive,
Speaker 11: and it cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year
Speaker 11: in reduced revenue to the state, which put enormous pressure
Speaker 11: on those same programs.
Speaker 1: One of the few times out he's not even out
Speaker 1: campaigning against it. He's busy doing podcasts with Big Gretch
Speaker 1: and you can tell, because boy, that voice is gravelly.
Speaker 9: Governor Newsom and I actually agree because Governor knows that
Speaker 9: central Services will be the one that gets hurt of
Speaker 9: his passes.
Speaker 7: Election days November third, twenty twenty six, at the state Capitol,
Speaker 7: covering local news that matters. Hey, Tom Wallace, Fox forty News.
Speaker 1: Johnny, let's get quickly into the campaign for fighting against
Speaker 1: Prop thirty nine, because Ashley Zavala was there and she
Speaker 1: had some interesting questions for alex Badia about the way
Speaker 1: that their frame the voter ID bill Prop thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Here is casey.
Speaker 6: Any Democratic leaders are officially kicking off the campaign against
Speaker 6: the voter ID measure headed to voters this November.
Speaker 1: US Senator Alex Padilla was at the rally here in Sacra.
Speaker 1: I don't want case arey three political director ashans of
Speaker 1: Allah was there. So how are both sides prepping for November?
Speaker 6: Yeah, California Democrats very much making it clear today they
Speaker 6: will make this proposal about President Donald trumpet.
Speaker 2: Of course, which is funny because when you look at
Speaker 2: this subject, it's very similar to ballot harvesting, where the
Speaker 2: Democrats assume that ballot harvesting would help them beat Republicans,
Speaker 2: and what they found out is in practice it helps
Speaker 2: the DSA beat their people by opposing voter ID. They
Speaker 2: think they're going to stick it to the Republicans, when
Speaker 2: in fact, if they killed this thing, they're giving the
Speaker 2: DSA another tool to use to beat Democrats with. Because
Speaker 2: don't forget we just had a special election yesterday in
Speaker 2: the Bay Area to fill Eric's Wallwell seat and who
Speaker 2: won not the Democrat that the Democratic members of Congress wanted.
Speaker 2: The DSA candidate currently in the lead.
Speaker 6: And the fight against him. US Senator Alex by the
Speaker 6: headline today's no on Prop thirty nine event with other
Speaker 6: Democratic state lawmakers, legislative leaders like Senate ProTem Moniqulimon and
Speaker 6: as somebody speaker Robert Rives were also there now. Prop
Speaker 6: thirty nine specifically would require California voters to start showing
Speaker 6: their idea at the polls or provide the last four
Speaker 6: digits of an ID when they mail in their ballot.
Speaker 1: When you hear it presented that way, it sure seems like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's not a big deal. Where do you
Speaker 1: go that's.
Speaker 2: Regarded as something as being semi important where they don't
Speaker 2: require you to show picture ID the airport, the bank,
Speaker 2: getting on a cruise ship, going on a military base,
Speaker 2: going to costco rinting of.
Speaker 1: Well, no one rents videos anymore, but you get the idea.
Speaker 1: I think my old Blockbuster card did have my picture
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 6: Democrats say this will cost the state more money and
Speaker 6: create identity.
Speaker 1: There are people listening right now from the young generation
Speaker 1: that don't even understand the concept of renting a video.
Speaker 6: Theft in other security risks. But their main message was
Speaker 6: that this is basically President Donald Trump trying to bring
Speaker 6: his voter suppression agenda to California. I'm quoting there, but
Speaker 6: President Trump has actually not expressly endorsed Prop thirty nine.
Speaker 6: At last check, he has yet to even speak at
Speaker 6: all about Prop thirty nine.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know what Prop thirty nine is.
Speaker 2: He's got bigger fish to fry right now than local
Speaker 2: elections in California.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about ending this endless war.
Speaker 4: I asked the.
Speaker 6: Group of Democrats about that today. Here's what Senator by
Speaker 6: the said.
Speaker 8: I mean, I talk about Prop thirty nine yet, but
Speaker 8: we know.
Speaker 1: How sure this is all about Trump, even though Trump
Speaker 1: has said nothing about this.
Speaker 2: This is their playbook. And by the way, this is
Speaker 2: why the DSAY is eating their lunch. Because as screwed
Speaker 2: up as the DSA is, at least they talk about issues,
Speaker 2: they talk about public policy, they talk about subjects. All
Speaker 2: the Democrats do is make Trump the central villain in
Speaker 2: every story, including stories that he has nothing to do with.
Speaker 1: It's the establishment that has failed to deliver over and
Speaker 1: over and over again, especially in California. These people in charge,
Speaker 1: and they haven't done a damned thing. It's no wonder
Speaker 1: that people are looking for an alternative, even if that
Speaker 1: alternative is the Insanity Party.
Speaker 8: It feels about vote by mail, he reminds us, at
Speaker 8: least on a weekly basis, he knows what he thinks
Speaker 8: about California and the integative California's elections, and we're continuing
Speaker 8: to suit and win to defend our honor. So yes,
Speaker 8: this is part of the greater Trump Republican agenda, no
Speaker 8: doubt the.
Speaker 12: Proponents of this measure.
Speaker 6: This all started because there is a build It didn't
Speaker 6: passed out of the state Assembly. Is that even get
Speaker 6: out of its first committee, and therefore the proponents launched
Speaker 6: his whole effort. They say that they actually want Republicans
Speaker 6: at the national.
Speaker 2: Level of the state out of this.
Speaker 6: Specifically, they're saying that there's a clear line between this
Speaker 6: and the say that, how would.
Speaker 4: You respond to that?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: You got to nationalize everything. I mean, it works for them.
Speaker 1: Look how Gavin Newsom operated in the recall election, which
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a referendum on his performance as governor,
Speaker 1: and it turned out to be a referendum on abortion.
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny is that this guy is
Speaker 2: a backbencher, Alex Padilla, and he's trying so hard to
Speaker 2: be someone who is a bold face name, a famous politician,
Speaker 2: and he does more media than so many members of
Speaker 2: the Senate, so many members of the California Dela Gation
Speaker 2: into the House. Yet I still think if he walked
Speaker 2: down Hollywood Boulevard, no one would know who he was.
Speaker 1: I if you asked random people in Hollywood Boulevard who
Speaker 1: are your senators, you would have most of them, say
Speaker 1: Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.
Speaker 6: Republican is some of them. And Carl Demyo is one
Speaker 6: of the lead proponents who has noted Prop thirty nine
Speaker 6: is different from President Trumps Save Act, the key difference
Speaker 6: being the Save Act has more strict id requirements for
Speaker 6: voter registration, requiring a passport or a birth certificate. Prop
Speaker 6: thirty nine does not. Here's how Demayo responded to the
Speaker 6: No on thirty nine campaigns rally today.
Speaker 10: Here you have partisan politicians trying to inject division into
Speaker 10: what should be something that's quite unifying. In this in Washington,
Speaker 10: the Save Act very aggressive, lots of mandates. Prop thirty
Speaker 10: nine is a bipartisan response to that. It is a
Speaker 10: solution to voter id and that's why nearly half the
Speaker 10: signature for Prop thirty nine came from Democrats and independents
Speaker 10: because it is a common sense, balanced approach to improving
Speaker 10: public trust. And confidence in our elections. You don't have
Speaker 10: to like Donald Trump to vote yes on Prop thirty nine.
Speaker 1: The same Steve Hilton approach. You can hate MAGA and
Speaker 1: still vote for me.
Speaker 6: Now, to be clear, no Democratic elected official in California
Speaker 6: has come out to support Prop thirty nine. Again, this
Speaker 6: will be a fight between Republican and Democratic politicians heading
Speaker 6: into November. This is a partisan issue.
Speaker 1: Sorry, we've got a couple months out. What are the
Speaker 1: polls saying about it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, Berkeley Igs actually just recently did one that
Speaker 6: shows that voters could reject it. Fifty one percent of
Speaker 6: respondents to that poll specifically said they would vote no,
Speaker 6: versus the forty two percent who voted yes. In the
Speaker 6: poll of more than four thousand Californians, Berkeley Igs used
Speaker 6: the actual language voters will see on the ballot, which
Speaker 6: says it will prohibit citizens from voting without a government
Speaker 6: issued ID.
Speaker 1: Thanks Bob Bonta.
Speaker 2: You know, this is another one of these issues, not
Speaker 2: that anyone pays attention to him that James Carville says
Speaker 2: the Democrats should embrace go back to the Clinton Democrats,
Speaker 2: go back to that crowd from the nineteen nineties, and
Speaker 2: I think Carville speaks for a lot of them. Anytime
Speaker 2: you see the Bill Clinton alums on TV, they tend
Speaker 2: to be cut from a very different cloth than the
Speaker 2: current crowd. But he doesn't see the problem with it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't think it's necessary that he doesn't think that
Speaker 2: there's a lot of widespread voter fraud going on. But
Speaker 2: he says, I don't understand the opposition to it, because
Speaker 2: when you oppose something like this, you make it seem
Speaker 2: like you're trying to cheat the system. You make it
Speaker 2: seem like you're trying to rig elections, and that's not
Speaker 2: a good look.
Speaker 6: Demayo and supporters of Prop thirty nine unsuccessfully try to
Speaker 6: get a judge to change it. Obviously, that's why, because
Speaker 6: it doesn't look good on the ballot.
Speaker 13: All right, Ashley, thank you so much for following them.
Speaker 1: So there you go. The campaign against Prop thirty nine
Speaker 1: has kicked off, and the face of it is Alex paedia.
Speaker 2: Well and Bob Bonta is probably the MVP for the
Speaker 2: No side because he did rig the election. He rigged
Speaker 2: the election by issuing a title and summary that is
Speaker 2: meant to sink the initiative, meant to trick people into
Speaker 2: voting against their own interests. Because when you ask the
Speaker 2: question normally, do you support a requirement a photo ID
Speaker 2: requirement to vote in elections, the answer was yes, two
Speaker 2: to one or more than two to one. But when
Speaker 2: you name it something else, preventing people from voting, act
Speaker 2: or whatever it is, then of course you're going to
Speaker 2: get a different result. Yeah, while we can either just
Speaker 2: complain about this, or the people behind thirty nine can
Speaker 2: start spending whatever money they have and getting as much
Speaker 2: earned media as they have to explain to people what
Speaker 2: Prop thirty nine and really is if they want to
Speaker 2: guess this thing over the threshold, because it's not such
Speaker 2: a big gap that they can't still win this thing,
Speaker 2: but they got to put all the stops out right now.
Speaker 2: And we can't just throw our hands up and blame Bonta.
Speaker 1: It's close, that's for sure. And Randy, you have an
Speaker 1: announcement to make. We did it. We hit five thousand
Speaker 1: subscribers on the channel. We are currently at five thousand
Speaker 1: and three. That means that we have to fulfill our
Speaker 1: promise and eventually do a show from Imperial Beach the

Speaker 1: Bob t Bonta.
Speaker 10: Every type of leadership is about meeting the moment and

Speaker 1: Shanghy scandal, would you have opinion on if BoNT is
Speaker 1: going to go to prison next or you just write
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, it would sure help us out a lot.
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: And coming up in short order, we're going on the
Speaker 1: road the Pineapple Hills Saloon and Grill. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: there on Friday, September fourth, two weeks from Friday, from
Speaker 1: noon to three pm. We'll be there with our friends
Speaker 1: from the Howard Jarvis Taxpay Association, like Susan Shelley, as
Speaker 1: we promote Prop forty three, the state Prop. Thirteen Act,
Speaker 1: the Local Taxpayer Protection Act that is on the ballot.
Speaker 1: You can get yard signs and what have you. Another
Speaker 1: swag hang out with us, Johnny. Excuse me, I was
Speaker 1: about to say hang out with us, Johnny, don't like
Speaker 1: dot com. You can also do that because we're going
Speaker 1: to broadcast it on video. But head to the Pineapple
Speaker 1: Hill in Sherman Oaks Friday, September fourth, from noon to
Speaker 1: three all right, The.
Speaker 2: Los Angeles City Council just decided that there aren't enough
Speaker 2: bums on the streets the city of.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, thanks to a motion from everybody's favorite jackass
Speaker 1: who goes too Martinez.
Speaker 12: Yeah, let's criminalize kind of list of converters, let's criminalize.
Speaker 1: Copper has decided to rescind what is called a forty
Speaker 1: one to eighteen zone. Forty one to eighteen is a
Speaker 1: municipal code passed in the city of Los Angeles back
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. I believe that would ban homeless encampments
Speaker 1: for specific areas. When we're talking about areas near schools,
Speaker 1: areas near any kind of sensitive areas. You could say,
Speaker 1: all right, we as a city are going to vote
Speaker 1: that this block cannot have a homeless encampment. Then you
Speaker 1: have to put up signs that say you gotta go,
Speaker 1: then they can clear the encampment. That's how slow this
Speaker 1: process takes. It is largely ineffective because we don't really
Speaker 1: enforce this. But Hugo has decided and his DSA friends
Speaker 1: to just say, screw it, we don't need any of
Speaker 1: these because the homeless should be allowed to do all
Speaker 1: the things that they're doing right in front of your
Speaker 1: house and right in front of your kid's school. Now
Speaker 1: that's quite an education. For more on this, we've got
Speaker 1: to Fox eleven and you guessed it. Matthew Seedorf.
Speaker 14: Tonight, a major reversal in Hollywood, the LA City council
Speaker 14: just lifted anti camping bands at twelve locations, limiting how
Speaker 14: the city can clear homeless and campas.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm trying to figure out right now.
Speaker 1: You know, we're in Culver City, but we're like right
Speaker 1: on the border of Culver City, you know, like one
Speaker 1: street away from us is Venice Boulevard and Robertson And
Speaker 1: there's a Del Taco right there, And there's a tent
Speaker 1: that has been sitting outside on the street outside of
Speaker 1: that Del Taco for a week now. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if that's the City of LA's fault or Culver City's fault,
Speaker 1: but it's real embarrassing and I don't like seeing it.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just a big fan of the tacos.
Speaker 14: Supporters say the old rules failed. Opponents say sidewalks in
Speaker 14: public spaces could become harder to keep clear. Fox eleven's
Speaker 14: Matthew Seedorf.
Speaker 2: What I don't understand is that if you own a
Speaker 2: small restaurant, own a small business and your bathroom and
Speaker 2: your shop is not eighty eight compliant, they will find you.
Speaker 2: They will threaten to go after your license, they will
Speaker 2: threaten to shut you down. They will do everything they
Speaker 2: can do to you to make you submit. Get you
Speaker 2: look at these streets where all of these tents and
Speaker 2: all of these bums block the access for pedestrians from
Speaker 2: getting around. But I don't even know what you do
Speaker 2: if you're in a wheelchair, because frequently, if you're a pedestrian,
Speaker 2: at least you could walk into traffic and try to
Speaker 2: avoid the cars to get around it. But if you're
Speaker 2: in a scooter or a wheelchair, I don't know what
Speaker 2: the hell you do.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 1: I remember very specifically there was a massive homeless encampment
Speaker 1: under the one to one freeway at Gower and a
Speaker 1: woman in a wheelchair could not get through the sidewalk
Speaker 1: because of all the tents and encampments, so she rolled
Speaker 1: onto the street where she got run over.
Speaker 13: Hollywood with the latest Matthew.
Speaker 4: Well, Laura, some of these no camping zones have been
Speaker 4: in place for about five years, and now they're being removed.
Speaker 1: I want the city that I grew up in, where
Speaker 1: you didn't need forty one eighteen.
Speaker 4: A major decision.
Speaker 1: We've had some terrible council presidents. Markquezy makes me wish
Speaker 1: for the days of Paul Grecorian.
Speaker 4: He is awful in that La City Hall ten Nice
Speaker 4: three knows the council voting to end a dozen forty
Speaker 4: one to eighteen no camping zones across Hollywood, Silver Lake
Speaker 4: and Echo Park.
Speaker 12: As far as I know, I don't think I've ever
Speaker 12: heard of a forty one eighteen zone being removed the.
Speaker 1: Motion from You know, he's a young guy and he's
Speaker 1: got one hell of a combover going on. How old
Speaker 1: is he, Hugo Soto Martinez. He's got to be in
Speaker 1: his thirties, right, Hugo Soto Martinez, member of the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles City Council. I'm going to put for his age.
Speaker 1: Come on, are we hiding his age somebody? He was
Speaker 1: born in This is public knowledge, right, we should know
Speaker 1: how old Hugo is. Yeah, he's not like an actress
Speaker 1: from the nineteen thirties. Well, we can figure this out, right,
Speaker 1: If he got his bachelor's degree from UC Irvine, thanks
Speaker 1: Katie Porter, in two thousand and six, so he was
Speaker 1: probably like what twenty two twenty three in two thousand
Speaker 1: and six, he's probably my age. So let's say he's
Speaker 1: like late thirties, early forties. Kiddo lost a lot of hair.
Speaker 4: District thirteen council member Hugo.
Speaker 1: So nobody does their hair like that unless they are
Speaker 1: really trying to cover up something.
Speaker 4: Sodo Martinez passed in a ten to three vote.
Speaker 11: When I put up a forty one eighteen to protect
Speaker 11: the parks and to protect kids, it's for a reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Surprisingly, the one person who besides Tracy Park that
Speaker 1: was like, are you guys insane? Was homegirl Ammelda Padilla.
Speaker 13: The neighborhood kids, the down As kids don't like it.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone Once in a while, she does make sense.
Speaker 4: One of those no votes, district councilwoman Jamelda Padilla, well,
Speaker 4: I think forty one eighteen is one of those tools
Speaker 4: that we need.
Speaker 13: I have asked for some forty one eighteens in my district.
Speaker 11: He generally votes no.
Speaker 2: So I saw this as one of those days where
Speaker 2: you know'll treat your colleagues as you wish to be treated.
Speaker 1: Well, bitchy. I love it. I love that she says
Speaker 1: it's just strictly paidback. She will occasionally get real.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: She has gone on podcasts and gone after Nythia, whose
Speaker 1: district neighbors her district, which is where I live, and
Speaker 1: has said that Nithia's constituents call her because they know
Speaker 1: if they call Nythia, no one's going to do anything
Speaker 1: about the homeless encampment. If they call Amelda, Amelda will
Speaker 1: try to get something done, usually by threatening Nythia that
Speaker 1: if you don't clean this crap up, I will. Did
Speaker 1: you see she was caught on a hot mic recently
Speaker 1: where she said that she was looking on social media
Speaker 1: and she surprised to see that people thought she was stupid,
Speaker 1: broken windy theory. Poor girl, she's one of the I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say one of the good ones because I live
Speaker 1: in that district and Balboa Park is a nightmare. But
Speaker 1: she's one of the less bad ones. How about that?
Speaker 1: Who was the other good vote? It had to be
Speaker 1: what John Lee? Yeah, every once in a while he
Speaker 1: does the right thing.
Speaker 4: This is one of the telest spots that the counsel
Speaker 4: member is resenting. It looks like there's already people camping here.
Speaker 1: Get used to it. I gotta get out. I've got
Speaker 1: to get out there. One of our listeners, Cindy, keeps
Speaker 1: emailing me listings of little condos in sal Solito and
Speaker 1: Marin County. I gotta get out.
Speaker 4: Have they been enforcing that no I don't think so.
Speaker 4: Nearby worker Jazz wonders what will happen next?
Speaker 5: Some people like hanging out around the area, and it
Speaker 5: just doesn't feel good about us going home at night.
Speaker 1: WHOA, that's a lot of ink, all right now, Johnny.
Speaker 1: We try to, you know, be as gracious as we
Speaker 1: can to our radio listeners who do not get to
Speaker 1: see the image that is on the screen. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to do your best radio and describe what
Speaker 1: we are seeing on the television.
Speaker 2: Well, my screen is kind of small, so I can't
Speaker 2: really get down to the granular detail you.
Speaker 1: Need to make her bigger.
Speaker 2: She's got tattoos all over her body, including one a
Speaker 2: whole body image. I can't tell if that's Jesus or
Speaker 2: Michael grows from family ties. But the leg goes right
Speaker 2: down the middle of her cleavage.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the story is, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what the topic is. Matthew Seedorf and his producers find
Speaker 1: the most interesting people to get. Men on the street comments.
Speaker 4: Are some of the safe on the street. Many are
Speaker 4: curious to his more.
Speaker 1: Ink on that last and in a classroom, Yeah, no kidding,
Speaker 1: it's get real. Then it's going to trend to a
Speaker 1: none other bad area because it's not getting any better.
Speaker 12: Think ground Game for always being there on the front
Speaker 12: lines with folks CELA.
Speaker 1: The ground Game LA is a incredibly hostile DSA affiliated
Speaker 1: nonprofit that are the people that go and protest the
Speaker 1: LAPD cleaning up criminal homeless encampments, holding up signs that
Speaker 1: say house keys not handcuffs.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, though this guy not only got elected,
Speaker 2: but didn't he get re elected to Yes.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Hollywood, you have nobody to blame about yourselves. You
Speaker 1: had a very very solid candidate in Dylan Kendall, who
Speaker 1: is very common sense but no Hugo. The ds say
Speaker 1: jackass wins outright in his primary. Unisses the DSA jackass
Speaker 1: one outright in her primary. And then because things were
Speaker 1: already so bad on the West Side that the West
Speaker 1: Side has come back from all the madness, Tracy Park
Speaker 1: wins outright in her primary from a DSA or because
Speaker 1: they had the og DSA person. Meth Bonnen.
Speaker 12: Crodic Socialists of America.
Speaker 4: Pseudo Martinez tells Fox eleven that forty one eighteen makes
Speaker 4: it more.
Speaker 2: I gotta get out what was he saying about the
Speaker 2: Democratic Socialists of America.
Speaker 1: They support making sure that we don't clear the homeless encampments,
Speaker 1: of course, because they want us to look more third world.
Speaker 12: That's equity for always being there on the front lines
Speaker 12: with folks.
Speaker 1: SILA.
Speaker 12: Democratic Socialists of America.
Speaker 1: SODO, boy, We're just it's like an Academy Award acceptance
Speaker 1: speech congratulating themselves for not clearing homeless encampments.
Speaker 2: People, you keep voting for these DSA candidates, the whole
Speaker 2: country can look like that.
Speaker 4: Martinez tells Fox eleven that forty one eighteen makes it
Speaker 4: more difficult to engage with and support people experiencing homelessness. Well,
Speaker 4: the city's new chair of the Homelessness Committee, Councilwoman Isabel Herado's.
Speaker 1: That's right. Now we put another Well, we already had
Speaker 1: a DSA or in charge of homelessness, Innthia, but they're
Speaker 1: mad Atnthia for running for mayor, so they put the
Speaker 1: brand new dsay or in charge of homelessness. Isabel Hirado,
Speaker 1: who is a complete disaster.
Speaker 4: Says, I am open to a serious and transparent conversation
Speaker 4: about how forty one eighteen is being used, what results
Speaker 4: it is producing, and what its future should be now.
Speaker 1: One of the arguments that they'll make is, well, we
Speaker 1: don't enforce this law anyway, so why do we have it.
Speaker 2: These people are clueless as bad as you think Bass is,
Speaker 2: and Bass is awful.
Speaker 1: The city council is worse. Yes, and we live in
Speaker 1: a city where it is a strong city council and
Speaker 1: a weak mayor. These people are fifteen mini mayors in
Speaker 1: their little slice of this awful joke of a city.
Speaker 1: Sending the police to give people. Have I mentioned I
Speaker 1: got to get out of here tickets in my community
Speaker 1: almost always makes the thing worse. Well.
Speaker 4: Tuesday's vote impacts twelve no camping zones across LA. Council
Speaker 4: Member Sodo Martinez.
Speaker 2: If you don't want those protections in your district, that's
Speaker 2: a decision you can make and explain to your constituents.
Speaker 1: Some By the way, Tracy Park is scheduled to be
Speaker 1: on this show tomorrow, and I believe she will have
Speaker 1: a lot to say about this.
Speaker 4: Good counse members believe it could spread. This Today's decision
Speaker 4: worry you, It does worry.
Speaker 11: It worries me to the extent that I don't want
Speaker 11: to see more council members resentd this.
Speaker 4: Martin.
Speaker 1: How about a story where Ammelda Padilla comes out looking
Speaker 1: like the smartest person in the room. She is street
Speaker 1: pavements that are cooler.
Speaker 5: As was.
Speaker 1: There's a term that people use for her, but we
Speaker 1: will not say it on the air. No, but some
Speaker 1: would call it a term of endearment. I'm sure someone
Speaker 1: in the chat will figure it out.
Speaker 4: Available to speak with us tonight. Right now, it's unclear
Speaker 4: how much it could cost to remove those no camping
Speaker 4: signs in Hollywood, Matthew Seedo or Fox Lovenues.
Speaker 13: Well, you sort of touched on this, Matthew.
Speaker 14: The chances that it could be replicated at other parts
Speaker 14: of the city, What do you think the chances are?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just speaking with that council member, it
Speaker 4: seems like that's one of her concerns. Now, it's unclear
Speaker 4: what other council members might be interested in making this
Speaker 4: sort of move. But also it does seem possible, especially
Speaker 4: given what happened today with the ten to three vote.
Speaker 13: All right, Matthew Sedor, thank you so much for that report.
Speaker 1: A vast majority of the La City Council said we're
Speaker 1: not even going to try to clear a homeless encampment no,
Speaker 1: and this is the problem.
Speaker 2: The political will in the city is behind the bums
Speaker 2: and not behind the taxpayers.
Speaker 1: It is why I am actively looking to move out
Speaker 1: of the city of Los Angeles. I would love to
Speaker 1: not have to vote in this stupid election.
Speaker 2: And you don't really have an option for mayor because
Speaker 2: both of them. Well, I assume Nitia voted with the
Speaker 2: majority on this, and I assume that bass is going
Speaker 2: to sign it.
Speaker 1: Of course she is. Everyone's on the same page here,
Speaker 1: And if.
Speaker 2: You want to watch the show live, including not just
Speaker 2: us but our guest after the news at two, Bill Schultz,
Speaker 2: firmly of Red Eye, you can do that very easily
Speaker 2: at Johnny.
Speaker 1: Don't like dot com, Johnny, don't like dot com, Johnny.
Speaker 1: With the why, it's the best way to experience this show.
Speaker 1: You won't be productive at all, but you'll have a
Speaker 1: hell of a lot of fun every single day from
Speaker 1: noon to three. Now, Johnny, we just got an email
Speaker 1: for our people in production that they want us to
Speaker 1: record a new promo for Pineapple Hill, but they want
Speaker 1: us to do it after the show, which means that
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to be stuck in even worse
Speaker 1: traffic if I don't leave here exactly at three zho one.
Speaker 1: So what if we did it right now? Well, that's
Speaker 1: a novel concept. Do you have the copy in front
Speaker 1: of you? I do all right, You do your line,
Speaker 1: and then I'll do my line, and then we'll just
Speaker 1: keep going and then I'll send this to Herman. Kickoff
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend with us, The John Phillips Show returns
Speaker 1: to the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill Friday, September fourth

Speaker 1: did it in one take. Look at you multitasking. If
Speaker 1: I stay here an extra five minutes, it's like an
Speaker 1: extra ten minutes on that four h five.
Speaker 2: Now, what would you have done if they set you
Speaker 2: an email saying they want you to record a spec
Speaker 2: spot for erectiled dysfunction pills.
Speaker 1: We're doing that on the air too. Hey it's Randy
Speaker 1: for Blueeshee. I've been in radio for twenty years. I
Speaker 1: do pick my products that I endorse, but I have
Speaker 1: been known from time to time to do spec spots
Speaker 1: for those clients as well.
Speaker 2: I wonder how companies like that pick their celebrity endorse
Speaker 2: her like. I'll tell you if I was a guy
Speaker 2: who ran an erectiled dysfunction pill company, I think I'd
Speaker 2: hire Chas Bono.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we're about to go to break.
Speaker 2: We've got one more hour coming up. Bill Schultz joins us,
Speaker 2: don't you go anywhere
