1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Something's not right here. Crime is up all over the

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: state and the city is out of control.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: The economy is six, taxes are high.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 3: Housing as expensive, and businesses are leaving.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 4: Leaving California means fixing, and John Phillips is just the

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 4: man to leave the charge. It's the Fix California Hour

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,440

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: telephone number one? Eight hundred two two two five two

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: two two. Well, apparently everyone's cheating over at the DMV.

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: Well it's either everyone's cheating over at the DMV, or

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the DMV thinks that everyone is cheating. Or maybe it's

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: just Lori Laughlin and Felicity Hoffmann who are making sure

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: they grease the skids for their kids.

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: Boy, neither of them are ever going to live down

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: that one, are they?

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 5: No, they're not.

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: For more on this, here is a great piece from

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: ABC ten in Sacramento.

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 6: When David Speckt moved from Chicago to Sacramento late last year,

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 6: he passed his DMV knowledge test, got his California driver

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 6: license and.

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: Thought he was done. You know what, you should get

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: an automatic pass if you're coming from a state that

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: has to deal with ice.

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd be bragging about this. By

48
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the way, you know what the questions are like on

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: that test, right, redbeans stop and green means fill in

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: the blank.

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: You know there are some people that don't pass.

52
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 6: But six months later that changed. David says he received

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 6: this letter saying the DMV found irregularities in his knowledge

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 6: test results. Unless he passed the test again within thirty days,

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 6: his license would be canceled.

56
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: What now, wait a minute, what kind of funny business

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: was going on when this guy took his test?

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Did he have the AI take the test for him?

59
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: What was going on?

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: Now?

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Are those glasses that he's wearing to block the cut?

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 5: Or is he blind?

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: Well? I got to imagine if he was blind, he

64
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: would not be applying for a driver's license.

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's what the DMV's concerned about.

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 7: When I first got the letter, I thought maybe because

67
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 7: I had taken the test so quickly, it was flagged.

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 7: And then the more I thought about.

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: It, usually things move real slow at that DMV.

70
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, kidding, like molasses.

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: I just found it odd.

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 7: So I googled some of the language from the letter,

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 7: and I stumbled upon numerous Reddit threads and Facebook posts.

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: We connected with some people on those same social media pages,

75
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: and they shared their DMV letters with us. All were

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 6: identical copies of David's letter, saying the DMV had identified

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 6: irregularities in the knowledge test results.

78
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: Leading what does that even mean? Though?

79
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: I don't know.

80
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Maybe that's one of these DMV employees working from home

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: and somebody sat on that enter key too long.

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: Don't knock working from home. They're going to make you

83
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: derivee the Culver City.

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 6: To the license cancelation notices being mailed out.

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 8: Hey, can you hear me?

86
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 6: We met people from across the state, many of whom

87
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 6: are newer residents getting their California license for the first time,

88
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 6: like Michelle Radkey in the Bay Area.

89
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 8: And getting this letter.

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 9: It almost felt like I was being punished, or like

91
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 9: I broke a rule that I didn't know what happened.

92
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: Welcome to California. You'll experience more of that here too.

93
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 6: And Mike Stover in Los Angeles.

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean my initial reaction was I thought it

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 10: was a scam, because again, I took my driver's test

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 10: back in December of last year, so it's been six months.

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 6: We reached out to the DMV to confirm the number

98
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 6: of cancelation notices they sent out, and what specific irregularities

99
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 6: were identified in the knowledge test results and how the

100
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 6: DMV identified them. An agency spokesperson said, in part quote,

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 6: the California DMV has identified irregularities in certain driver knowledge

102
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 6: test results.

103
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: That's not specific to anything.

104
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: No, No, it's we saw they wrote stuff on their hand,

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: they used their phone, someone was whispering in their ear.

106
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: That's the kind of answer you need to come up with.

107
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: But this is eleven thousand different applicants at DMVs up

108
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: and down the state in a very specific amount of time.

109
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: What exactly are they alleging here? Did someone post the

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: test online on Reddit?

111
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 6: Aults that may indicate instances of cheating through.

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Our Also, I don't think they even check to see

113
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: if you're looking at your phone while you're taking the test.

114
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: No, no, that is the most apathetic place on planet Earth.

115
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 5: No one over there gives a dm.

116
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 6: Routine internal monitoring. We reviewed multiple data points and found

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 6: patterns suggesting that some individuals may have attempted to circumvent

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 6: the testing process using various cheating.

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 3: Methods, eleven thousand of them.

120
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 6: It's part of this ongoing review. The DMB notified approximately

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 6: eleven thousand individuals that they must return to a DMV

122
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 6: office and retake their knowledge test within thirty days.

123
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: So you have already lost eight hours of your life,

124
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 3: how about another eight hours.

125
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 6: Individuals who do not complete and pass the retest will

126
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: have their driver's license canceled.

127
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: Which in most of California is a big deal unless

128
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: you're living in the city of Los Angeles, because we

129
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: don't do pretextual stops anymore, so no one's going to

130
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: pull you over for having expired life.

131
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Since it's so weird to me that this state is

132
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: just anything goes when it goes to so many crimes. Yet,

133
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: if you triggered some kind of algorithm that resulted in

134
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: them sending you a letter alleging that you cheated, they

135
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: can revoke your license without providing proof that you cheated.

136
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna ask if there's anyone else in the committee room.

137
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: Oh it's mister, I love the high speed rail. Dave

138
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: Cortesi great with.

139
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 6: The DMV taking weeks before admitting the testing result, anomalies

140
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: were tied to possible cheating. We took our questions to

141
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 6: the California Senate Transportation Committee, which oversees the agency. Committee Chair.

142
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 6: Senator Dave Cortesi, a Democrat representing Santa Clara County, says

143
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 6: he was disappointed but not surprised when we brought this

144
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 6: latest issue with the California DMV to him. Is it

145
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 6: a problem that the DMV is not being transparent about

146
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 6: what exactly the anomalies are and what they used to

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 6: identify them.

148
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: It is a problem that the DMV is not being transparent.

149
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: It tends to be a very opaque organization. We have

150
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: trouble getting data.

151
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: Most legislators, even the state senators, can't deal with the DMV.

152
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Maybe this is one of these things where I don't know.

153
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: To hit certain markers on their budget, they needed to

154
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: administer eleven thousand more tests, and since they didn't have

155
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: any customers, they just created them by alleging that people

156
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: cheated when they have no proof of that.

157
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: Who run bills here in the Capitol will tell you

158
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: it's very difficult to get basic data that they'd like

159
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: to have, and it's hard to figure out why the

160
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: DMV has this culture of keeping their cards so close.

161
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 8: To the best.

162
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: They're one of the most public agencies in every other regard.

163
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: While we were Gavin campaigned on modernizing the DMV. And

164
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 3: while the DMV ATM that is at Ralph's is fantastic,

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: if you ever actually have to go in that office,

166
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: it still feels like it's nineteen seventy eight.

167
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I do most of my DMV paperwork

168
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: over at the Auto Club. You could pretty much do

169
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: most everything there except for taking the tests.

170
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: I thought we're supposed to keep that a secret. That's

171
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: why those lines aren't very long.

172
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 6: Investigating this story, Cortesi and his team sent a letter

173
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 6: to the DMV director asking many of the same questions.

174
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: That's a TLDR at the DMV. They're not reading that,

175
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: No he.

176
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 6: Did, what exactly were the testing anomalies?

177
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: And what tool or that's going to be that meme?

178
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: Sorry ain't reading that? Sorry that happened to you? Or

179
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm happy for you? Whichever one works.

180
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 8: Her method?

181
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 6: Did the DMV use to identify them? Cortesi says the

182
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 6: DMV's response will help determine whether lawmakers need to take

183
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 6: fur their action.

184
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: Where are they spending their money? Are they spent their

185
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: money on algorithms and AI? Is the stuff working? Is

186
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: our IT system working?

187
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: How much money are we blowing on anthropic.

188
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: Those are all questions that we can address.

189
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 6: This DMV testing issue has gotten bipartisan attention. Cortes's Senate colleague,

190
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 6: Senator Tony Strickland.

191
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: Friend of the show. Tony Strickland's on this, that's right.

192
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 6: He's regular a Republican and Vice chair of the Transportation Committee,

193
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 6: also sent his own letter to the DMV director demanding transparency.

194
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 8: We shouldn't have more answers and describe exactly why they

195
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 8: have to take the test again? And is this unacceptable

196
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 8: to be vague?

197
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: Can we send Tony an Amazon link to the microphone

198
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: you have? Come on, people, these things aren't that expensive. Well,

199
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: we need to hold them accountable, just like Okay, that's

200
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,479
Speaker 3: the name of our podcast.

201
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: It is subscribe today for.

202
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 8: The other And if they don't move forward and they

203
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 8: don't cooberate with the legislators, and we need to look

204
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 8: at other avenues to you know, talk about funding.

205
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: But let me just send a text to our booker, Tricia.

206
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: Let's keep Tony Strickland as a phone guest for now.

207
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 6: For everyday drivers like David spect they're left wondering whether

208
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 6: the agency got it right.

209
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 7: First off, I don't hold it against the State of California,

210
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 7: or even though, oh.

211
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 5: You will, boy, this guy is a newbie.

212
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: Well he comes from shy Town, so he thinks that

213
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: he's from the original corrupt place.

214
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 7: He is the frontline workers at the DMV. I do

215
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 7: think if this is the system that they have implemented.

216
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Your city council and your legislatures, that's nothing I dealt with.

217
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 7: Corrupt Alderman, and this is how the system works, then

218
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 7: I hate to break it to them, but the system

219
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 7: is broken.

220
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: So there you go. We have no idea why the

221
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: DMV decided to invalidate these eleven thousand tests. The DMV

222
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 3: wouldn't tell the state Senate why they invalidated these tests,

223
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: and eleven thousand people had to go back to the

224
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: DMV and waste their precious time and no one will

225
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: tell them.

226
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Why think about this in any other context. Let's just

227
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: say you have a kid who's in high school, and

228
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: the kid goes and the kid takes a biology test,

229
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: and the kid passes, and the kid gets the credits

230
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: for that particular class and moves on to the next

231
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: grade level. And then over summer you get a letter

232
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: say that there were irregularities in your kid's final. There's

233
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: no proof that they cheated. There's no specific allegation that

234
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: they cheated. All there is is irregularities. And because of

235
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: those irregularities, they're going to take those units away from

236
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: your kid, and now your kid has to go to

237
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: summer school. What parent would allow that to happen? What

238
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: parent would stand by and go, okay, yeah, that seems

239
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: reasonable to me. Sorry, Bobby, Instead of going on the

240
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: vacation to the Grand Canyon, you're going to be stuck

241
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: at home, going to summer school, retaking a class that

242
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: you've already passed.

243
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: Who would allow that to happen.

244
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: The one thing that the government of California, in every

245
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 3: agency and especially the DMV, is there is no such

246
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: thing as transparency. Oh crap, that rhymed like three times?

247
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: Or how about this one.

248
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: Let's say that there's a Let's say that there's a

249
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: basketball game, a college basketball game, and one team beats

250
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: the other, and then two days later, the NCAA sends

251
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: a letter going, you know what, there were irregularities in

252
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: the officiating, and so we're going to overturn the results

253
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: of that game. You can't do that unless you say, look,

254
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: they blew this call on this play and that's what

255
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: resulted in Team A beating Team B, and therefore we're

256
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: gonna call it back. Even then, I don't think they

257
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: do that, but in theory at least, then there's an

258
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: argument that you could make if a blown call caused

259
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: the losing team to win the game. But if you

260
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: just say there's irregularities without identifying what they are, I

261
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: don't understand who is willing to accept that.

262
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: Just another day in the state of California.

263
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: But it also kind of falls in line with what

264
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: we talked about the first hour. It's like the mayoral

265
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: election where you go to bed one night you're thinking

266
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be Bass and Pratt, and then a

267
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: week later, oh no, no, no, he lost.

268
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: It's going to be Ramen.

269
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have your choice between a socialist and a communist.

270
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be Ramen or Bass. And you go, well,

271
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: a week ago that wasn't the case. Well, yeah, we

272
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: still had more ballanced account. So this is the way

273
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: it is. You go into the DMV, you take the test,

274
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,119
Speaker 1: you pass the test, you get your license in the mail.

275
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: Oh guess what, Yeah, there's irregularities. We may have to

276
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: take that back. It's just how business is done in

277
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: this date.

278
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: We're now getting comments in the chat about Nithia that

279
00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: it don't feel comfortable posting, but they are funny. But

280
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: my god.

281
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: And then the DMV gets letters from these members of

282
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: the state legislature and they essentially tell them to pound sand.

283
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: That is a bureaucracy that things that they are untouchable

284
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: from the people and the electeds who represent them.

285
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: Well and for in a world of term limits, they

286
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: are these people have probably been around a lot longer

287
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: than the people trying to boss them around.

288
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 11: The bureaucracy is real, and that is one of the

289
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 11: problems that happens with term limits is that the bureaucracy

290
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 11: just decides they're going to wait them out because they're

291
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 11: going to be around longer than the electeds.

292
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 5: And you know what, they're right.

293
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: We had a comment here from abt yc I bet

294
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: on DMV employ was caught taking kickback, so all the

295
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: previous thirty days worth of applicants were required to return.

296
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: There's one theory, Well, wasn't the governor of Illinois at

297
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: one point, George Ryan kicked out for that corruption involving

298
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: the DMV? Oh really, I think so that's fun.

Speaker 3: so let's all calm down. I do want to address

314
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: one question from the chat, Randy, do you really wear

315
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,439

371
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: the top of the show, watching all the way from Perth, Australia.

372
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: Yesterday we had someone from New Zealand said a message,

373
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: how do I watch the show? So we're going all

374
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,560

376
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: an update on Boile Heights and I guess you could

377
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: file this.

378
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: You can smell it right here.

379
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: It's time for another update of you can smart right

380
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: here are unfortunately nearly daily segment talking about the disaster

381
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: going on in Boyle Heights, and Alan writes in on

382
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: YouTube you can smell it right here.

383
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 12: You can smell it right here.

384
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 3: So here's the latest and by the way, we'll probably

385
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: have this video for you tomorrow. Nitia, who has been

386
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: pretty silent for the last week or so, put out

387
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: a video straight up blaming Karen Bass for lying about

388
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: how dangerous the talks of fumes are and that might

389
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 3: connect well with voters because John, when we watched that

390
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: town hall, the one we covered on the Accountability podcast,

391
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 3: that seemed to be the thing she was getting screamed

392
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 3: at about the most.

393
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: Well, and it's not as if they didn't present any evidence.

394
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: Apparently the people who live around there have their lungs

395
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: filled with fluid and they're bleeding from the nose. And

396
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 1: if they use the water to bathe in, they have

397
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: rashes all over their bodies.

398
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: And if they go to one of Barbara Ferrer's health

399
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: clinics they get tilt all.

400
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 5: Well, they also get narcan in a condom.

401
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: Well, there is that.

402
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 13: Wash your hands often and Oway's before eating and after toileting.

403
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: Without further ado a special treat on today's update because

404
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: Fox eleven sent ed Lasco's to the dump fire for more.

405
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: Here's Fox eleven for a week.

406
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 14: Since the Lineage warehouse fire and anger is growing again.

407
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: We're now a month out from this thing, and we're

408
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: two weeks out from Karen Bass's stupid forty five day

409
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: window to clear all the debris, and we're at about

410
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: one percent completion.

411
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 5: Oh, this is going to go on Forever and Bill Heights.

412
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 14: New Tonight, families gathered for a candlelight vigil demanding evacuation

413
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 14: and an independent cleanup.

414
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: Fox eleven did Alasko's Live once Again Forests and Boyle Heights,

415
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: where there continues to be so much frustration.

416
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 14: Ed, frustration and anger. Phil It's really been a night

417
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 14: here of prey and emotions. As you think about it,

418
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 14: that fire at the Lineage warehouse long over. The cleanup

419
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 14: continues day by day, but the co you.

420
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: Know, there were a lot of people putting out this message,

421
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 3: and I think originally people were putting it in jest

422
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: that you know, they should have just let the place

423
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: burn down, because then all the food would have been cooked.

424
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: But the more you think about it, putting out that

425
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: fire ended up turning into a bigger disaster.

426
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: Well, because not only did you stop the fire or

427
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: stop the food from cooking, but then you duck tons

428
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: of water on it too.

429
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 14: Controversy it brings, and the frustration it brings all that

430
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 14: is still burning strong Mikey, take us into the story,

Speaker 14: of them.

435
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: If you're wondering why there's so many people out there,

436
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: this is upwind from the disaster zone.

437
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 5: I was about to say, where's his mask?

Speaker 14: Well at the disaster zone, downwind from the fire, the

442

Speaker 14: a direct message to.

445
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: Go, I mean prayer might be the right thing because

446
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: at this point these people feel like that they're suffering

447
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: through a plague.

448
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,440

00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: Cancer in our lungs, that's powerful.

453
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: Well, if their lungs are all filling up with fluid,

454
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: that can't be good, and tile it all isn't going

455
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: to fix it.

456

00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 14: saying they hope their prayers are answered tonight because they

474
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 14: need help in them.

475
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 3: Well, they got one prayer answered. The man the met

476
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: the legend ed Lasko showed up in Boyle Heights. I

477
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 3: don't know how much that's going to help them, though. Well.

478
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 3: The only thing they can do right now is get

479
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: more attention on this story because they're still being ignored

480
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: by the sitting governor.

481
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, why hasn't Gavin shown up to Boyle Heights yet?

482
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 5: The other politicians have?

483
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: You had Hilda there, you had the council woman gi

484
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: Isabelle Gurado there, you had the mayor there, Karen Bass,

485
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: you had the US Senator Alex Padilla there, Where's Gavin?

486
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 3: And even if you look at the governor's race, Steve

487
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: Hilton has gone down to Boyle Heights. Where, oh where

488
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: is Javier Bakaria scrub It isn't this his old district too?

489
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 14: I think it was ration, a disaster declaration. Think about

490
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 14: the timetable here on this very night we are now

491
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 14: four weeks to the very night, this very moment of

492
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 14: that lineage warehouse exploding into a massive fire, blasting out

493
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 14: those thick costs.

494
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: That's what the smoke looked like when we were actively

495
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: promoting a five K just a few miles away from there.

496
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 5: Oh yes, and we ran in it too.

497
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: Yep.

498
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 14: Well, some black smoke, perhaps an ominous sign of what

499
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 14: was going to be coming and dealing with for us

500
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 14: over the last of four weeks. Last month itself, the tons,

501
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 14: millions of tons of rotting food. Now, the rats, the flies,

502
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 14: the infestation of all of that, and then you've got

503
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 14: the air contamination. As they've been saying, here.

504
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: Look like they're moving that quickly. No, this is not

505
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: going to take forty five days. This is going to

506
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: take six months.

507
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: Yes, we're at about less than of the numbers they

508
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: gave us yesterday and I did the math. We're at

509
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: under one percent completion for the removal and we're already

510
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: two weeks into Karen Vass's timeline. This will not happen

511
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: in forty five days, which is going to be yet

512
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: another BS promise broken by the mayor. The same mayor

513
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: that said, don't worry, the toxic fumes aren't harmful.

514
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 14: They're a concerned for their health, and that leads to

515
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 14: their message, their plea directly to Governor Newsom mature a declaration,

516
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 14: a disaster declaration and the financial help it would bring.

517
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 15: Listen today, we are calling on Governor Gavin Newsom to

518
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 15: come and declare a disaster zone to evacuate residents.

519
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: Gavin a coming down here.

520
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: No, was that the woman that cursed out for Rare.

521
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: I think it was. She is special and you got

522
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 3: to hear her drop the f bomb on Barbara Ferrara,

523
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: which you can uncensored on the accountability podcast Accountability, Accountability, Accountability.

524
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 13: Who don't deserve to be living in these conditions, to

525
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 13: be forced to be living in these conditions. Nobody deserves

526
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 13: to be living with rodents, with flies, with maggots, with orders.

527
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 7: You know.

528
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: And there's something that we get a lot of messages

529
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 3: in the chat when we do this story, a lot

530
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 3: of messages in the comments on YouTube after the show

531
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: and emails. These people don't have to be there. They

532
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: can leave, they can move, but a lot of these

533
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: people are not going to because here's the dirty little

534
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: secret about East La and Boile Heights. A lot of

535
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: these people are in rent control and there is nowhere

536
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: for them to move unless they want to pay a

537
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: hell of a lot more money.

538
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 13: Now people describe not as roden food, not as a

539
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 13: dead animal that you smell on the highway, but as death.

540
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 3: What is in our life? It now smells like death.

541
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: That's so disgusting. Now think about this for a second,

542
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: because it is flesh, maybe not human flesh, but it

543
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: is the flesh of animals being that was burned and

544
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: now is rotting in that community. And that's the smell

545
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: that they're getting. Look at what happened to the people

546
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: who responded to the Twin Towers on nine to eleven.

547
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: So many of them got all kinds of weird cancers,

548
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: weird diseases and ended up dying very young because they

549
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: were exposed to so many chemicals and so many foul things.

550
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: If I lived in that area and I was ingesting

551
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: that on a daily basis, I would be terrified about.

552
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 5: My long term health. Yeah.

553
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: One of our listeners posted on the chat here, let

554
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: me pull this up from Alan. I recommend monthly cancer

555
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: checkups for these people, and I couldn't agree with that

556
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: more because the amount of these people were exposed to,

557
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: especially when the top elected official in the city said,

558
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: don't worry, it's so if you don't need to evacuate.

559
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I know we have qualified immunity, but there's

560
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: got to be a way to sue the hell out

561
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: of Karen Bass for that one.

562
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: And we have Royal Oaks, by the way, coming on

563
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: at two o'clock to answer that very question.

564
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 6: Bunks, Now, what is in our bodies now?

565
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: And no elected official has told.

566
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 5: Us you're very lucky.

567
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 16: Right now, reporters, I want you to know that normally,

568
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 16: if the wind was this way, you could not stand there.

569
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 16: Some of you would want to vomit, some of you

570
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 16: with your eyes would be bad, some of you would

571
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 16: be really impacted by it.

572
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had to make sure they had this thing

573
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: up win, not down win.

574
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 14: Now you are looking live, as the pastor were saying,

575
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 14: perhaps divine the intervention that the wind shifted about an

576
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 14: hour before this vigil began, Otherwise it would have been

577
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 14: very painful here.

578
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: Well, if we're looking for a divine intervention, we could

579
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: have used some rain on that day, just saying.

580
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 14: But the wind shifted, and it's really hasn't been much

581
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 14: of a concerned it all. But when you talk to

582
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 14: a lot of folks, they said they were happy to

583
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 14: come over here, mostly because of the prayer vidual, but

584
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 14: also they admit just to get out of that smell,

585
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 14: to get out of that area that they've been really

586
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 14: dealing with here for the last last four weeks.

587
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: And I'm just thinking, you're locked in your house. It's

588
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: the middle of a heat wave. If you don't have

589
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: air conditioning, which I don't know how you do that

590
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, you cannot even open your window. It's

591
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: like a prison sentence for these people, and all this

592
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: talk about, oh well, offer relocation assistance, it sure doesn't

593
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: seem to be happening.

594
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: And it's been going on for four straight weeks with

595
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: no end in sight.

596
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 14: You feel, and Christine, you know, if you think about

597
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 14: how bad it's been, We've been there, many of us

598
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 14: have been there dealing with it. But when you have

599
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 14: this heat and you have the humidity that the folks

600
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 14: have been dealing with the last couple of days, that

601
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 14: really ramps up a lot of the pain, a lot

602
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 14: of the anger. And they're just hoping at this point

603
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 14: that since they haven't gotten as they put, any response,

604
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 14: any hope, any help, as they say, from the city,

605
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 14: from the county, they're hoping now mayor Governor NUSI will

606
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 14: step in and finally get the ball rolling against some

607
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 14: financial assistance and in a back was in this area.

608
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 3: What do you think would happen to Gavin if he

609
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: went to go walk through the streets of Boyle Heights

610
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: right now?

611
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I think he would get the same treatment as

612
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: Barbara Ferrer and Karen Bass, which is why he's not

613
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: down there.

614
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: There you go, That is the latest on the disaster

615
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: that is still going on every single day in this

616
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: very slow cleanup in Boyle Heights. It's a segment we call.

617
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: Right here eight hundred two two two five two two two.

618
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: He is a telephone number.

619
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: Usually Johnny's the one that gets the mean comments about

620
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: his appearance with the hat. But no, no, no, no no,

621
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: Dan writes in Randy and those promo stills, that's the

622
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: worst seventy shirt I have ever seen. Lol. That is

623
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: like my favorite shirt that I got from the fancy

624
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: Gentleman store Lancaster, New York in Santa Fe. It is

625
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 3: Paisley and I love it. But you know, taste is subjective.

Speaker 3: people like this show. We should start pushing it out

634
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 3: to more people, and then it shows up on more

635
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: people's feeds, then they check out the show, and then

636
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 3: you know, someday, I guess we make money off of this.

637
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 3: I have no idea but we really appreciate it. We

638
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: get a nice dopamine boost from knowing that we're getting

639
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: all kinds of likes. So let's keep that going.

640
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: Coming up after the news at two KABC, legal analyst

641
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: Royal Oaks joins us, So make sure you stick around

642
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: for that. But first we have an update for you

643
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: on a story that is generating a lot of buzz

644
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: on Randy york Instagram page.

645
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is kind of wild. Yesterday, as we

646
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: usually do, we end up talking about a report from

647
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: our buddy, Matthew Seedorf. Matthew Seedorf, the reporter at Fox

648
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: is just incredible, and he was down in Woodland Hills

649
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: for a big ribbon cutting of this new development that's

650
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: going to offer three thousand units of they say, senior

651
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 3: housing for the homeless in Woodland Hills. And Matthew Seedorf

652
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: and his reporter and his camera guy caught Karen Bass

653
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: saying what she usually says at these things, that hey,

654
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: don't don't you just think that all the homeless are

655
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: on meth. They're on meth for a reason. They need

656
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: it for protection. They need to stay awake at night

657
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 3: otherwise they'll get assaulted. We played that on the show yesterday.

658
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: My little software here created a clip for it, and

659
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: I post clips from the show on all of our

660
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: social media feeds, but I posted one on my Instagram

661
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 3: account at Randy Wang Radio. And I'm not sure why,

662
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 3: maybe it was just the right time. But currently that

663
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: clip has twenty five thousand views, it's been reposted ninety

664
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 3: nine times, it's been shared on people's stories seven hundred

665
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: and ninety five times, and it has two hundred and

666
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: twenty three comments and a thousand likes. So help share

667
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: that thing because apparently we're like on the verge of

668
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: going viral. That's at my Instagram at Randy Wang Radio.

669
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: In the meantime, Matthew Seedorf, who is the origin of

670
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: all of this greatness, he put out a fuller version

671
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 3: of that Karen Bass interview. Let's go to the tape.

672
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 9: We interviewed Mary Karen Bass after her announcement of a

673
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 9: new two billion dollars Oh yeah.

674
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: Follow Seedorf on his YouTube channel at Reporter Matthew because

675
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 3: he is the best.

676
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 9: Low income high rise for seniors in woodwind Hills. It

677
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 9: was a quick interview. Her team made us promise that

678
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 9: we would stick to that topic, but during her announcement,

679
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 9: she mentioned something about the homeless using math for protection

680
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 9: to stay up at night. Here's a clip of that.

681
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 9: During her speech and our raw interview.

682
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 12: People say to me, well, the only people on the

683
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 12: street are mentally ill, are using drugs. And what I

684
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 12: always say that people will is you see there for

685
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 12: a couple of weeks and tell me your mental health

686
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 12: is the same as it. Well before you lost your housing,

687
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 12: you sleep out on the street for a couple of weeks,

688
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 12: and tell me that you're not using some to stay sane,

689
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 12: or use math so that you don't go to sleep.

690
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Wait, you use math to stay same? No, she thinks

691
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: math to the homeless is like spinach to Popeye. It

692
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: gives them superhuman strength. Well sometimes it does. It also

693
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: gives you a weird urge to start digging holes. I

694
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: can't explain that one text.

695
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 12: And these are the circumstances facing the situation on our streets.

696
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 9: Oh, we heard you say something about the Matthews, and

697
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 9: I think some people might Obviously it's an issue that

698
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 9: a lot of people will debate on people on the stream.

699
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 9: I'm sorry you said that people are on the street

700
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 9: using math for protection.

701
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 12: Well, no, what I said is no.

702
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: What I said, No, that is literally what you said,

703
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 3: almost word for word.

704
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 12: That is is that I know that people have used

705
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 12: meth to stay away at night so they don't fall

706
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 12: asleep because they're worried about being assaulted.

707
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 3: So is what she's insinuating. The homeless need meth to

708
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 3: stay awake because the majority of the people in encampments

709
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: are rapists.

710
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: What she's saying is that people live on the streets,

711
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: not because they're addicted to drugs and they've exhausted every

712
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: branch in their social network. She's saying that people move

713
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: into the encampments because the high cost of housing, and

714
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: then once they move into the encampments, they start taking

715
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: meths so they can stay up late at night so

716
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: they don't get raped.

717
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: Wow, myth that's not protection. That's not protection. And you

718
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 3: just said that. And by the way, it's great having

719
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: the context that Bassi's people said only talk about the development.

720
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 3: She's so pissed off right now. She did not expect

721
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: this question, even though it is relevant to what she

722
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: was talking about, because she just said it.

723
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: To stay a.

724
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 12: Week to stay awake. But it's just another example of

725
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 12: why we have to give people off our streets.

726
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: Well, so when are you gonna start doing that?

727
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: Didn't she say it will be done by now?

728
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 3: She said we would end street homelessness by twenty twenty six, John,

729
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: what year is it?

730
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 5: Twenty twenty six?

731
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 3: Percentage of the pay Elsa said we'd have a people

732
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: mover by twenty twenty six, and we don't have that either.

733
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 3: Actually this, I would have that by twenty twenty three.

734
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 14: People.

735
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 9: Do you think are using math for that personal?

736
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 8: Oh?

737
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 12: I don't know, you know, I mean, I do not

738
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 12: know that, but I do know that that happens. I

739
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 12: know that anecdotally.

740
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 14: I've never done a survey.

741
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 12: To ask people, are you using meth to stay awake

742
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 12: at night? But I've heard many anecdotal stories.

743
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 3: You know what I think we need to do. I

744
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: think we need to have a challenge. I think since

745
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 3: Karen Bass thinks that math is safe, and since Barbara

746
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 3: Ferrera thinks that the only problem with fentanyl is that

747
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: you don't have enough narcan, we should have them live

748
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: on camera doing fentanyl, doing meth, just to show us

749
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 3: how safe these drugs really are.

750
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 5: She's talking about meth like it's red bull.

751
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 3: That's what she's treating it like, not realizing that it

752
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: is such a disastrous, dangerous drug that actually causes a

753
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: lot of the mental illness that's out there. You want

754
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 3: to talk about the chicken or the egg theory. How

755
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 3: many people were crazy before meth and how many people

756
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 3: were crazy because of meth.

757
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: Remember that episode as Saved by the Bell when Jesse

758
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: got addicted to the caffeine pills to stay awake at

759
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: night to study for the test.

760
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: I'm so excited, I'm so scared.

761
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: All right, we got one more hour coming up on

762
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: the John Phillips Show. Royal Oaks legal analyst Extraordinary joins us. Next,

763
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: Don't you go Anywhere
