That's seeing 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: a bump and its homeless population. So is Long Beach. 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: Long Beach has seen yet another spike in its homelessness numbers. 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: So let's all say it together. Great job, Rex Richardson, 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: another awful mare. For more on this, we go to Nbclalessness. 29 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 6: Is rising again in Long Beach. The city's newly released 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 6: point in time count shows a number of people experiencing homelessness. 31 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: Has reached no pride flags in those encampments. Those are 32 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: some Christmas jammies, though at its. 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 6: Highest level in at least six years. For months, ANDBC 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 6: four has been asking city leaders whether their strategy is working, 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 6: and now with another year of data showing homelessness continues 36 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 6: to grow, NBC four's McCollum Adena is asking those same questions, 37 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 6: and he joins us live from Long Beach, hopefully with 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 6: some answers. 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: Mac all right, before we get to this report, and 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: believe me, I have no love for Rex Richardson, I 41 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: have no love for Karen Bass. You can't just blame 42 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: them though. This is a state issue, and the main 43 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: problem with homelessness in California is not a lack of housing. 44 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: It's not that we are unwilling to help out a 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: friend or a family member or a neighbor when they 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: fall on hard times. The problem that we have right 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: now is a permissive attitude about drugs. These are not 48 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: people who are living on the streets because because the 49 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: plant closed down. These are not people living on the 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: streets because the rent is too damn high. These are 51 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: people who are living on the streets because they're taking meth, 52 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: because they're taking fetanyl, or because they're crazy, or a 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: combination of the three. That's it. It's not the whinos 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: of yesteryear. It's not the bag ladies of yesteryear. This 55 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: is not the Great Depression. This is a substance abuse 56 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: problem that people have, and they are attracted to the 57 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: state of California because we look the other way instead 58 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: of stopping it. When we see open air drug use, 59 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: when we know someone is a junkie and an addic, 60 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: we do not bust up the homeless encampments where the 61 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: drug sales take place and the drug consumption takes place. 62 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: And unless until we change our tune on that subject, 63 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: people are going to be living in their own felt, 64 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: spreading diseases and spread misery. And it's as simple as that, 65 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: and that's Gavin's fault, and that reason in and of 66 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: itself is a reason that he should never be able 67 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: to get close to the White House. 68 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 7: We did get some answers, Carolyn for a days now. 69 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 7: The city's latest numbers really tell two stories here. The 70 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 7: number overall of homeless people in Long Beach is certainly growing, 71 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 7: it is. 72 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 8: On the rise. 73 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 7: But more homeless people are being sheltered now here in 74 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 7: Long Beach. 75 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: As you mentioned, was is that brut drug free shelter 76 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: or is that anything goes shelter? 77 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 5: Just to imagine what. 78 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: A different state we would live in if the Midnight 79 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Mission was in charge of the shelters and we went 80 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: back to our drug laws before we decided to decriminalize it, 81 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: we could fix this problem. 82 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: We do a lot of events with the Union Rescue 83 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: Mission in Los Angeles, and they do the actual work 84 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: of getting people clean, getting their lives together, getting them 85 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: to the point where they can sustain the The goal 86 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: of the state is to go through the housing first ideology, 87 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 3: which means, if you're homeless, we want you to be 88 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 3: a ward of the state forever, and we will put 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: you in permanent supportive housing. Never ever, ever, trying to 90 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 3: get you back on your feet. That's the goal of 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: the state and that was authored by the way by 92 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: La County Supervisor then State Senator Holly Mitchell. 93 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: If you actually want to put a dent in homelessness, 94 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: don't vote for any tax increases for money that is 95 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: going to be used for the homeless. If you want 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: to do something, write a check to the Union Rescue 97 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: Mission because that group is doing God's work. 98 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: And up in the Bay Area, you could say the 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: same thing about the Salvation Army. Our friend Tom Wolf 100 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: got clean because of that drug free housing program. He 101 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: was on the streets, he was doing heroin in fentanyl 102 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 3: and he got clean, while so many others don't have 103 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: that opportunity because of housing first nonsense, where you get 104 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 3: an sro in the tender loin and you're allowed to 105 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: buy drugs and use drugs in there, and people get 106 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: carried out in a body bag. 107 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 7: I've been asking the city now for months if the 108 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 7: city is on the right track. We actually talked to 109 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 7: the city manager a couple of months ago and he said, yes, 110 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 7: they have confidence in the leadership of the homeless Bureau. 111 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 7: We tried to ask him and city leaders again here's 112 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 7: what we found. Lowell Beach's homeless population is growing again, 113 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 7: evident today here in North Long Beach next to Colem 114 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 7: Powell Elementary, but neighbors reporting upte's really across much of 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 7: the city. The latest point in time count found three 116 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 7: seven hundred and twenty nine people experiencing homelessness in Long Beach. 117 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 7: That's up from thirty five hundred and ninety five last year. 118 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: By the way, and this is what you always have 119 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 3: to take in consideration. I know LA is a much 120 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 3: bigger vast area. LA is like five hundred square miles, 121 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: but Long Beach is still a very large city when 122 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: it comes to population and when it comes to geography, 123 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: and Long Beach doesn't even have ten percent percent of 124 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 3: what LA has. 125 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: No Long Beach exists in the shadow of Los Angeles, 126 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: so we don't think of it as being that big. 127 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: Long Beach is the size of Atlanta. 128 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 4: It's a big city. 129 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 7: Nearly a four percent increase and the highest total recorded 130 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 7: in the last six years. Since twenty twenty, homelessness in 131 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 7: Long Beach has increased by more than eighty percent. But 132 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 7: the report also highlights some signs of progress. More people 133 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 7: are now staying in shelters. The number of people living 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 7: unsheltered dropped slightly down about eighteen people compared to last year. 135 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 7: City officials say expended shelter capacity is helping move more 136 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 7: people indoors. The city also says seventeen hundred and two 137 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 7: people were moved into permanent housing last year. 138 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: What does that actually mean the concept of permanent housing, 139 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: because you know what, if the concept is everyone who's 140 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: homeless gets a free apartment for the rest of their life, yes, 141 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: we're never going to build our way out of this problem. Still, 142 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: the whole point of a shelter is you're there for 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: a little while. We clean you up, we get you detox, 144 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: and we get you some skills so you can provide 145 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: for yourself. And if you still want to be a 146 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: drag to society, that's what the jail's for. 147 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 8: Gaines have not been enough to reverse the overall trend. 148 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 7: Do you have confidence in the leadership of the zero 149 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 7: I do absolutely. 150 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 5: Shangy absolutely absolutely. 151 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 7: BC four is repeatedly as city leaders whether they still 152 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 7: have confidence in the city's homeless as strategy and the 153 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 7: leadership overseeing it. 154 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 5: I have utmost confidence with. 155 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 9: Rex. 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: By the way, that's the basketball arena there for whatever reason, 157 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: they made their basketball arena Long Beach State look like 158 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: the luxor what is that about. 159 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 7: That's reaching another six year high? We ask those same 160 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 7: questions again. NBC four contacted every member of the Long 161 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 7: Beach City Council, along with Mayor Rex Richardson and City 162 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 7: Manager Tom Motacop, asking whether they still believe the city 163 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 7: strategy is working and whether any changes are needed. Motica 164 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 7: referred us to the city's Department of Health and Human Services. 165 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 3: Public affairs are the one benefit of living in Long 166 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: Beach as opposed to anywhere else in La County. They 167 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: have their own health department, which means they were not 168 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: ruled in COVID by Babs Pasadena too. 169 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 7: Yes, Chris, who said this in part, the city believes 170 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 7: its homelessness response is making progress in important areas, will 171 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 7: identifying opportunities to strengthen services and improve outcome. 172 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: This is what they always do.

It is such a bad look. 225 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: It's one thing if they're asking you something that's totally 226 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: out of bounds. Howard Stern used to do that back 227 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: in the old days, where they'd send a reporter out 228 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: who usually had some sort of physical deformity, and they 229 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: would ask an inappropriate question to a public official, expecting 230 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: an answer. Okay, you're not going to answer those questions, 231 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: I understand, But asking a council member about a homeless 232 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: population that's going up, given the fact that they're spending 233 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: a fortune, is totally within bounds. It is an appropriate question. 234 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: It's one that the politician should expect to be asked 235 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: and they should have an answer ready. And the fact 236 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: that she's acting like he was on the Howard Stern 237 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: Show asking her what kind of kink she's into is unbelievable. 238 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: Now, John, I have a follow up question for you.

And Councilmember Thrash Snook's office email 249 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 7: that's saying that she's confident in the leadership and does 250 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 7: believe or does not believe, rather that the current housing 251 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 7: First strategy needs to change. 252 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 8: She says it needs. 253 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: To expand of course, we just need to spend more 254 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: money on this. The problem is we just haven't spent enough. 255 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: Even though when we weren't spending any money on this, 256 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: the problem wasn't nearly this bad. 257 00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: Maybe the council's taking meth too, hmmm, idiots. 258 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 4: So there you go. 259 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: That all being said, Long Beach is still a much 260 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 3: better run city than the city of Los Angeles. 261 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 5: But there wasn't one sane one on that entire council. 262 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: No, there was not not one. No one could say, 263 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: not one member of that council could say this is 264 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: unacceptable and what we're doing isn't working. We need to 265 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: figure out how to be better stewards of tax dollars 266 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: and fix the problem. 267 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 5: Not one could muster the will to say that. 268 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: So there you go. Homelessness in Long Beach has increased. 269 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's Orange County or bust because they're 270 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: screwed up in LA, they're screwed up in Long Beach. 271 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: I guess some of those smaller towns are okay. But 272 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: this kind of stupidity, man, is it contagious. 273 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: If I didn't have to make the commute to Culver City, 274 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: I'd live in Huntington Beach. 275 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: My goodness, this problem is never going to go away 276 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: with these people in charge. 277 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 4: It is not. 278 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: It is only going to get worse. You need to 279 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: have somebody that actually wants to do the hard work 280 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: and say no to all of the special interest NGOs 281 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: that are profiting off of this, someone that will say 282 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: no to the insane ideology of harm reduction in housing 283 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: first and right now, the vast majority of people that 284 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: we have in elected office will not do that. 285 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing if you are someone who 286 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: is ideologically extreme and you know what you're doing is 287 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: not working, But that's what the team is doing, so 288 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna do. It's not even that they 289 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: pat themselves on the back and they think that they're 290 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: the compassionate ones prolonging the agony. 291 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 3: They think they're doing incredible work letting people suffer on 292 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: the streets.

Not only does Shang look awful, 350 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: so do a number of elected appointed officials in the 351 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: Bay Area.

Let's start out by talking about the obvious, 371 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: which was the big bombshell report in the San Jose 372 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: Mercury News about Sheng Tau and company. I say in 373 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: company because it wasn't just about Shang and her misdeeds. 374 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: It's about a whole bunch of other people as well, 375 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: and maybe some that weren't even mentioned specifically in that article. 376 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: What was your takeaway after going through the details in 377 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: that well, researched piece. 378 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 2: Well, it looks like they're making a hell attempt to 379 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 2: squash evidence that is obviously so condemning that they'll probably 380 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: take a plea deal once that is unsuccessful. If that 381 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: is unsuccessful and the judge says no, we're going to 382 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: let audi evidence in which the prossecutors are very confident of. 383 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: I think they're going to take a plea buggin and 384 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 2: you're going to find out what this really is about, 385 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: which is, in my opinion, a tony gentleman about Bonta. 386 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's start out with some of the specifics 387 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: in the article, and I'll have you respond to it. 388 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: Let's start out with this one. In twenty nineteen, while 389 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: still a city council member, Tao shared sensitive internal city 390 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: council information and strategy with Andy Dong amid a lawsuit 391 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: in which Oakland accused California Waste Solutions of overcharging customers. 392 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: The company later settled for about six million dollars in refunds. 393 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: Tao expressed concern about being seen publicly with the dungs. 394 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 5: It seems like she was working for that. 395 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: Family in California Waste Solutions for a very long time. 396 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 2: I'll give you one more. There was a vote the 397 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: city council. I'm study the city attorney recommended a very 398 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: low damage amount for this lawsuit, let's say a couple 399 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 2: hundred thousand, and then out of nowhere, Rebecca Coplan said 400 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 2: in closed session, I think we should pay them four million, 401 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: five million. And instead of paying them a couple hundred 402 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: thousand or even making that offer, which the city attorney 403 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: said was sufficient to settle that lawsuit, Rebecca Coplan arbitrarily 404 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: volunteered five million dollars of open tax payer money, in 405 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 2: which she got everyone voted for it, included Lon Taylor 406 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: at Bashintao voted for and Rebecca Coplan voted for it. 407 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: And so Rebecca Coplan has also been working in the 408 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: duons pocket for some time. And I said that she 409 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: was that woman that they mentioned that house was plitted 410 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: it and then we may ask that question a little. 411 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 9: Let's showf off and now. 412 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not just Tyle Oakland is pay for 413 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: place city.

But 507 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: I think the poster who broke the story by it 508 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: as THEBATO, was insiders. 509 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: So the payment went to one reporter, but the publication 510 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: stood by what they found. 511 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, unequivocally. 512 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go back to that trip to Vietnam for 513 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: a second, because this was a trip that generated a 514 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: lot of interest, and. 515 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 5: It seems like. 516 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: They were aware that people were onto the fact that 517 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: things happened on that trip that probably shouldn't have happened. 518 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: When Acevedo was approached by investigative reporter Dan Neis about 519 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: what happened on that trip, he acted really weird. The 520 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: question was vague, and the answer was, I didn't receive 521 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: a dirty massage when I was in Vietnam. I don't 522 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: know anything about dirty massages that happen in Vietnam. 523 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 2: It was the funniest thing, like so, I hollered the 524 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: Vietnam trip was a little crazy. I didn't get no joke. 525 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: I didn't get a happy ending, not me no, so no, sir, 526 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: not me. No happy endings here, and I definitely didn't 527 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 2: get a happy ending by a two days ago underlayes 528 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 2: go that was me And I absolutely did not get 529 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 2: caught with cocaine at the border and had to have 530 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: a long family pulled some swings. 531 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 9: That wasn't me either. 532 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 5: What are you talking about? Yeah, that was a wildwood. 533 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: I guess that's why attorneys told defendants to never speak to. 534 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: The I don't know what he was doing, but it 535 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 2: was not smart. But you know, he pled guilty and 536 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: he turned schnitch. That's what the guilty always do. When 537 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: they realized that they're faced the significant time, they all 538 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: smitched to Java. So, like I said, we'll see what 539 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: happens with the Duong's and Centhyle. 540 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: Was that the calling card for them when they say prostitution? 541 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: Were they actually having call girls go over there or 542 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: were they just taking them to these massage parlors for 543 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: gentlemen's massages. 544 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: I don't really know. It could be both. They're not 545 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: necessarily mutual exclusive. Let's just say they had a good time. 546 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 2: They were known the party had and take pictures and 547 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: videos of it. All oh ay party, But a Duong party. 548 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 5: You know, there were a lot of them on that 549 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 5: trip too. 550 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 9: It wasn't just like the Andanny Glover was on a trip. 551 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 9: Who was on the actor? 552 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, the hell was he doing there? He's supposed to 553 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: be in the outfield with the other angels. 554 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 2: But there were people on that trip who woke for 555 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: the suity of who I do some people, So every 556 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 2: single person on the twip wasn't up to no good. 557 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: But it was an expensive twip that was planned sort 558 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: of a victory laps celebration about all the great things 559 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 2: and all the money they were going to make together, 560 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: pimping out the city of Oakland. 561 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: Why do you think Shang was offended about the gentleman's massages? 562 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 9: Because I heard her husband was along for the ride. 563 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 9: Oh boyfriend. 564 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: Oh and he enjoyed some of the nectar of Nature's 565 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: Forbidden fruit too. 566 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 5: Huh mm hmm. She caught wind of that and didn't 567 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 5: like it. 568 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: I mean, if he was involved, then she caught one 569 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: of it and she definitely didn't like it. 570 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 9: That would explain that. 571 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: I mean, why was Saquilla where Curley was doing, Why 572 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: was Chicilla Activado was doing? 573 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 9: Right? Doesn't make any sense? 574 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: No, no, and she said, I guess at one point 575 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: she didn't even want to be photographed with anyone from 576 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: that group. 577 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 2: She knew that it was bad and things were good 578 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: and leaked and people were talking. 579 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 9: So I'll leave it at that. 580 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of said and we've been waiting 581 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: to see the full extent of what happened during that 582 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 2: Vietnam chip. So oh see that looks great. Orange is 583 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 2: the new black baby. But yeah, I don't think they're 584 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: going to go to trial. Look if by some miracle 585 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: they get this all the stuff that they're trying to 586 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 2: get squashed that came out yesterday, like the story came. 587 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: The reason that got into the news is because they're defended. 588 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 2: It's trying to get through all of that information tossed 589 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: out of court, and so if they are successful with that, 590 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: then you'll probably see a trial. And if they're not 591 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: successful with that, then you'll probably see a plea. That's 592 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: my prediction. 593 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: How is it that Rob Bonta has been able to 594 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: keep his name out of all of these stories? When 595 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: you see what's on the horizon, I see what's on 596 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: the horizon. Everyone listening to us right now can see 597 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: what's on the horizon and it's just the bombshell part 598 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: of the story or another bombshell part of the story 599 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: that goes unnamed. 600 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, you ask me the what I've been 601 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 2: waiting for, so I'm gonna keep Now. These are all 602 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: my proprietary thoughts, and I have nothing to base thiss 603 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 2: so on. Accept my algorithm getting the information. But my 604 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: algorithm is a good algorithm, and I've been able to 605 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: putict a lot of things that happened. Here's what I 606 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: think is going on. There's an election going on right now. 607 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 2: And if Rob Bontok is Swawew because remember Swawel was 608 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 2: still in the ballot, people could have voted for him. 609 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: We got how many two percent? We went from front 610 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: runner to basically like getting less money less votes than 611 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 2: Katie Porter. If institutional legacy media was to start to 612 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 2: honestly cover the true implication and what's going on here 613 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 2: with a tony General Rob Bonta, who would probably lose 614 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: that election. 615 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 9: And here's why that's important. 616 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 2: The attorney general of California, it's the most powerful attorney 617 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 2: general in the United States of America. I'll say that again. 618 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: The attorneys general of the state of California is the 619 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 2: most powerful by far and away the most powerful attorney 620 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 2: general in the United States of America. 621 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 9: And here's why. 622 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 2: The Attorney General controls the district Attorney's office and the 623 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 2: Sheriff's department. Sheriffs are elected, district attorneys are elected, but 624 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: the Attorneys General controls them and can pull a rank 625 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 2: on anything they do, and if they violate it, then 626 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: the criminal prosecutions whatever that come with for official of office. 627 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 2: So who's pretty much the boss, which means that the 628 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: Attorney General of California had far more power over public 629 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 2: safety policies than the governor themselves. The Attorney General of 630 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 2: California can also file for correspondent artists and forensic artists 631 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: of all nonprofits regulship here. So when you think about 632 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: the fact of the Chinese Progressive Association, California Endowment, Cisco Foundation, 633 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 2: Open Societies, I don't know if Open Societies is based here, 634 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 2: but a lot of non profits are based here that 635 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 2: serve as physical sponsors or handle the donor advice fund 636 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 2: that fund the ecosystem of the entire progressive movement in 637 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 2: the country. And so if Attorney General Michael Gates gets 638 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: selected and he decides he wants to go ahead and 639 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: start actual labor unions. With this money really coming from 640 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 2: your member? Or why are nonprofits given money to each 641 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 2: other just to give it back to each other? It 642 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 2: looks like some for the money laundering. Let's peak under 643 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 2: the hood, they are tot screwed. I'm not going to 644 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: drop a f found they are screwed, brother, and that 645 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 2: could take down the whole party. And so I believe 646 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 2: legacy media is not covering this because they all have 647 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 2: a handshake agreement that they don't do these things to 648 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 2: each other unless the green light has been given from 649 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 2: the commission. Right, and the commission you ask for permission 650 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 2: to hit him in the worlds the biggie small you 651 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: gotta ask the shadowy bosses, can you take out bound 652 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: to And oh, it doesn't look that good given the Okay, that's. 653 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 9: All I got to say about that man. 654 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: So you think the story is going to break after 655 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: the election. So then Besserah gets to appoint the next 656 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: Attorney general and that person makes it so that all 657 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: of these NGOs that are laundering money, they're intact and 658 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: they don't go to prison. 659 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 9: Basabingo, All right. 660 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: Well, excellent excellent, excellent stuff.
