Speaker 2: telephone number one. Eight hundred two two two five two

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: two two. There is a kerfuffle going on right now

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: in the city of Long Beach regarding advertisements that may

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: not be age appropriate for school age kids.

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: It's one of these things that once you see it,

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 3: you don't unsee it. If you're driving around Los Angeles,

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: you see all of these like vans or pickup trucks

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: with a trailer attached, and the trailer attached just has

56
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: a sign advertising like four hands massage, we will come

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: to you, or advertise all kinds of hookup websites and

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: hookup dates and all the stuff that they used to

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: advertise on Craigslist in Backpage. While in Long Beach, somebody

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: is taking one of these trailers with these signs advertising

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: these adult websites and they're putting them in front of

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: a school.

63
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: Okay, how many customers could potentially be in a school.

64
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: Well, maybe they're targeting the teachers.

65
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: There's only there's only like one or two custodians per school.

66
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Look, I don't understand the target demo for this stuff.

67
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: I've seen these things in Sherman Oaks, across the street

68
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: from the Whole Foods, next to the four or five

69
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: and the one on one, and I'm always wondering, who

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: is this for?

71
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Okay, do you think that that's who they're targeting? Or

72
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: do you think that the guy whose job it is

73
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: to drive that around just lives next to the school,

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: so he just parks it there.

75
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: That's possible. I also wonder how much could you possibly

76
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: be making from do you get paid by referral when

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: somebody goes to the illicit massage parlor that's advertised on

78
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: the back of a van?

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: You know where? You see those all over the places

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas on the strip and what a strip

81
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: is filled with them?

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what are they advertising?

83
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Well, if they have four hands in Long Beach, they

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: have eight hands in Las Vegas.

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: Well, for more on this story in Long Beach, let's

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: go to NBC in Los Angeles.

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: And we begin at six to night with growing outrage

88
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: over bright pig vans and trailers.

89
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're always the most gaudy colors and very

90
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: distracting and it is a strange thing obviously these couple.

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: But he can't afford a billboard, So the next best

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: thing park a creepy van in front of the grocery store.

93
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: Great throughout the city of Long Beach. Good evening once again, everyone,

94
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: I'm Colleen Williams.

95
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: I'm Jonathan Gonzalez.

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: These vans are covered with signed with explicit messages. They've

97
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: been spotted in your homes.

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: Pinky's girls, adult fun.

99
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: Well, if you're a fan of the Friday movies, there

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: was a character named Pinky. Remember him?

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 5: Oh?

102
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now I will say you know, we are in

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: the advertising business, Pinky. Not the best use of your

104
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: resources to be buying a sign on the back of

105
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: a van. AM Radio has a bigger reach than you know.

106
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: Well, Pinky doesn't have the funds of the ring Finger.

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 6: Businesses and even schools.

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: People are now demanding that these vans be removed from

109
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 4: the neighborhoods.

110
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: So what is this a stripper thing?

111
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: Pop?

112
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: What's going on here? Okay?

113
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: School age kids can't afford that?

114
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: NBC four is Alex Rozier joins his Live from Long

115
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: Beach with a response from the city.

116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: Alex, Colleen Jonathan, this is just one trailer parked at

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: Cherry and del Amo Boulevard promoting an adult website.

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: Definitely what these guys are getting all kinds of free

119
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: advertising today.

120
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: Well at least he spelled it correctly.

121
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: Is catching the eye of a lot of drivers here,

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: and some people want the city to do something about it.

123
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: Rex Richardson ain't doing a damn thing about this.

124
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: He might go to the website.

125
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: These eye catching ads have people talking in Long Beach.

126
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: I had kids, so I don't like the advertise. I

127
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: don't like that kind of advertising.

128
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: I like that guy's hat.

129
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's dressed like a young cal Worthington.

130
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 3: I think it's really inappropriate for a public space.

131
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: This trailer advertising what it calls adult fun and adult

132
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Hookups is now parked at Cherry and del Amo Boulevard.

133
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: We're blurring the website address, but that's so.

134
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: They aren't even have a phone number. It's just a

135
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: straight internet operation.

136
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: Okay, how could you advertise for something that's illegal in

137
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: the state of California.

138
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: Good question. Well, I'm what I'm wondering is there are

139
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: certain rules and regulations you have to abide by when

140
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: you are advertising, but Does it count as advertising when

141
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: you're just pulling up something that's on the back of

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: a trailer attached to a pickup truck.

143
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, but let's just say that you were advertising for

144
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: something else that's illegal. You're advertising for a hit man.

145
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: They wouldn't allow that to be next to a school.

146
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: That's illegal. You can't do that. Don't give them any ideas.

147
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: It's not the only place we saw these ads in

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: Long Beach. We also found these two vans parked a

149
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: mile away.

150
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: How many of.

151
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: These are there?

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Apparently Pinky has a lot of girls.

153
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: Pinky is doing so well that they can pay for

154
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: several vans. Pink them. Pink put up the sign. You know,

155
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: I hate to put this out there to the audience,

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: but if you want to email us anonymously, because we

157
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: got a lot of listeners in Long Beach, and if

158
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: you've ever called Pinky and you've been to Pinky and

159
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: you've seen Pinky's girls, just tell us exactly what's going

160
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: on there. We'll keep your name anonymous. I swear.

161
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: By the way, do you notice in this frame that

162
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: we now have on the screen that Pinky parked as

163
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: vans next to the cherry car wash.

164
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: Little on the nose pinky on Cherry Avenue on Beach.

165
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: Council member Tanua thrash Intok represents the neighborhood where this

166
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: trailer was dropped. She says her office has received nearly

167
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: one hundred complaints.

168
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 7: People are calling, people are placing things on social media

169
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 7: and just making it clear that you know, they do

170
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 7: not want this in their neighborhood.

171
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: NBC four US not yet identified the owner of the website,

172
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: but the registration on this van comes back to somewhat.

173
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: Boy, that is a trashed up van. All right, Let's

174
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 3: say someone took a knife to both of the buckets seats.

175
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,239
Speaker 3: What is going on here? There is a cd underbelly

176
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: of this county, of this state, of people that are

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: making their living doing this.

178
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: But this should be easy to shut down in one afternoon.

179
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: If you're advertising for something that cannot legally be done

180
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: in California, that's supposed to be underground, there's a reason

181
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: it's clandestine. But if you just put it on a

182
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: van in the middle of a big city and they

183
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: just leave it there and the city goes, well, there's

184
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: nothing we can do about it.

185
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: They're dancing right on the line I'm guessing because if

186
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: it was called Pinky's wres, we know what was going on.

187
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: Named Sammy Amuri, NBC four Investments.

188
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna comment. I gotta post on the screen here.

189
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: This comes from Bruce who writes in a YouTube I

190
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: wonder if Pinky is going to use lipstick bail Bonds,

191
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: which is a real company. We got to comment here

192
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: from listener Go Hanker said, I'm sorry, guys, I have

193
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: to leave the show. I need to go check it out.

194
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that guy's going to end up with a

195
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: virus on his laptop.

196
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: The John Phillips Show cannot be held responsible if you,

197
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: the listening and watching audience goes and visits Pinkies girls,

198
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: that's on you. We did not encourage you to do so. Dude.

199
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: At least three cities for First Amendment violations, including Long

200
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: Beach and in Long Beach court papers reveal lamari one

201
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: and the city had to pay him nearly three hundred

202
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: thousand dollars.

203
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so now we know what this is. No no, no, no,

204
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: no no no. There are law firms that go around

205
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: and they sue mom and pop small businesses that aren't

206
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: ADA compliant. It's not someone in a wheelchair that couldn't

207
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: get to a bathroom. It's a law firm that's a

208
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: sleazy firm that makes their living suing small restaurants. So

209
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: what I think is going on here, I don't even

210
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: think there is a Pinky I think they're just putting

211
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: those vans out there that are totally outrageous with the

212
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: hopes that the city will force them to move the

213
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: van and then they can file a First Amendment lawsuit

214
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: against the city and make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

215
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: So this isn't a Ada troll. This is a First

216
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: Amendment troll. Yes, that is a fascinating theory, because I

217
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: gotta imagine the three hundred thousand dollars they got from

218
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: the city of Long Beach is way more than Pinky's

219
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: Girls could bring in in a whole month.

220
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pinky would have to turn a lot of tricks

221
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: to make that kind of dough.

222
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: It would be really, really, really funny if there actually

223
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: aren't any Pinkies girls. And this is just how this

224
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: firm knows how to successfully sue cities. That is great.

225
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 7: So the city, the city attorneys, city manager is very

226
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 7: well aware of who the actor is today.

227
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: NBC four attempted to reach Amari, but did not hear back.

228
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: The council member says, she's still Alex.

229
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: You might need to go into deep cover on this one,

230
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: you think, so.

231
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Exploring several ways to remove this trailer, including towing it

232
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: when it's left here too long.

233
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 7: No trailer, no car should be inoperable on a public streets,

234
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 7: not moving at all.

235
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 3: For I would hold your words there. There's plenty of

236
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: RVs that you could describe that very same way that

237
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 3: you don't do a damn thing about yep.

238
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 7: An extended period of time.

239
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: She says, it's already been towed on several occasions, but

240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: it keeps coming back. She says, she's also explored.

241
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 3: I mean, now I understand how this guy was able

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: to buy so many vans and trailers. Yeah, winning that

243
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: kind of lawsuit buddy, three hundred grand because they towed

244
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: is pinky.

245
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: It is wild or in ways to keep it awake

246
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: from schools.

247
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 7: And I do not believe that that is the right

248
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 7: audience or the most appropriate place to have a trailer

249
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 7: like this. The main thing is that you know this

250
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 7: is the wrong community, the wrong place, and the wrong message.

251
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: What's the right community for this. By the way, did

252
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: you see the listener? Bill just went to Pinky's website

253
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: and just sent us a picture of one of Pinky's girls.

254
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: Oh boy, is that on the email?

255
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

256
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: Bill, all right, I'm looking at the email from Bill.

257
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 3: Oh my, Well, Pinky's got some girls, all right. Although

258
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: that's pretty tame for the stuff that you see onlike

259
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: only fans.

260
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Well, maybe Pinky has the philosophy of why give away

261
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: the milk?

262
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: What I will say is we are very appreciative of

263
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: how this audience has turned into overnight a whole of

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: investigative reporters.

265
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we have a lot of Nancy Graces in

266
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: the audience. No, Pinky's not giving away the milk. He

267
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: wants you to buy the cow, and.

268
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 7: We will not stop until we identify a solution that

269
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 7: removes this kind of advertising in family friendly neighborhoods.

270
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: We did hear from some community members who feel like

271
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: the city has not taken enough action after their complaints.

272
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: Well, the city tried to do something and that cost

273
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: them three hundred thousand dollars.

274
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, If they forced Pinky to move that, he's

275
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: going to ding him for another three hundred grand.

276
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a situation where I'm not blaming

277
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: the city a Long Beach anymore. This is on the

278
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: damn judges that made that call idiots. People who live.

279
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Near those vans a mile away on Cherry Avenue say

280
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: those vans have been out there for several months. Jonathan mcculleen.

281
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: Oh, so we reached out to a Long Beach police.

282
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: What are they saying? Well, I'll be police did send

283
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: me a statement this afternoon saying that they have also

284
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: heard from the community, and they say that they will

285
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: take enforcement action when appropriate. I asked them for specifics

286
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: on that. They say, if the vehicles are parked illegally,

287
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: they will either cite the owner or tode.

288
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: So there you go. I think you cracked the case

289
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: on this one, Johnny.

290
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if there was a Pinky, the news would

291
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: have been right at his doorstep, and I guarantee you

292
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: he would have been colorful.

293
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: Pinky's whole game is to get cities to complain about this,

294
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: to try to get rid of these vans, to try

295
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: to get rid of these trailers, and then sue the

296
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: cities and win hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages

297
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: on a violation of your First Amendment rights. What a racket.

298
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: So the consensus is to just leave it there. I

299
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: guess you can't win. Okay, Listener Bill just wrote back

300
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: and said I would call, but my wife would definitely

301
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: get mad.

302
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: Well, we don't want you doing that. We appreciate people

303
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: putting themselves in harm's way for this show, but don't

304
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: ruin your marriage over trying to help us with a

305
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: comedy bit that we're gonna stop doing in about two minutes.

306
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, although we do appreciate the investigative journalism.

307
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: This audience full of little Bill Millusions out there, and

308
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: Alex Rosiers and Ed Lascos and Matthew Seedorf's. We've even

00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: got some Marvin Zendlers out there.

Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to give too much away, but

355
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: at this public forum in Boyle Heights where Barbara Ferrera

356
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: got cursed out, she was seated on a panel with

357
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: a bunch of other people. It wasn't her at the podium,

358
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: and one of the angry members of the community called

359
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: her out by name, started swearing at her, and then

360
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 2: demanded that she respond to her accusations. That's when Farrera

361
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: grabbed the microphone and that's when all hell broke loose.

362
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,800

Speaker 3: Zooma Dog writes that whole segment was dedicated to promoting

383
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: their show. Then another commercial break. WTF, my goodness.

384
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 2: Zooma dog, of course, was a candidate for mayor of

385
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, one of the leading voices in the Venice

386
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: Beach area. So longtime local political activist in Los Angeles.

00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: We're glad to have everybody with us, playing around in

389
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: this chat room every single day from noon to three.

390
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: All right, there are a bunch of California politicians who

391
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: do not want, under any circumstances, the Warner Brothers Paramount

392
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: merger to go through.

393
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: And one of those politicians just happens to be California Attorney.

394
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: General Bot Bonta.

395
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 3: And Bob Bonta and eleven other attorneys general have sued

396
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 3: to stop this mega merger between Paramount Studios and Warner

397
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: Brothers Discovery. For more on this, we go to a

398
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 3: report from Fox eleven in Los Angeles, a.

399
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 8: Dozen states to follow the federal laws and challenging Paramount's

400
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 8: takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery. Can the mega merger will

401
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 8: end up harming consumers and cost jobs? Fox eleven is

402
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 8: his five.

403
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: So I will quest on.

404
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: Saw if they actually merge, which do they shut down?

405
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: One of the Studios and move everyone to either Burbank

406
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: or Hollywood.

407
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works.

408
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 8: Love and Plus, I'm Christine Devine Fox Love is Rachel

409
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 8: Aragon joining me now live outside of Paramount Studios with

410
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 8: the update on our top story.

411
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 6: Rachel Christy Roch told us laws it could be a

412
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 6: major delay for this mega deal, of course, but we also.

413
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 3: Know that by the way, this is also somewhat of

414
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: a negotiating tactic because there are certain attorneys generals like

415
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: Rob Bonta that want to get some concessions out of Paramount,

416
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: like getting them to spin off CNN and not own

417
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: that as well as CBS News. And if they can

418
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: delay this thing into September, that's when, according to the

419
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: way this deal was written, Paramount has to pay like

420
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars every single month to Warner Brothers

421
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 3: every month this deal gets delayed.

422
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: There was a rumor, and I don't know if it's

423
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: true or not, but there was a rumor that when

424
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: General Electric was selling NBC to Comcast and that one

425
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: had to be approved by the government before that one

426
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: would go through, that Al Sharpton was threatening to create

427
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: all kinds of problems for them. That he didn't want

428
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: it to happen and he was going to be a

429
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: thorn in their side, and they allegedly got him to

430
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: back off by giving them a television show on MSNBC.

431
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: And here we are twenty years later and Comcast is

432
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: now getting out of the TV business and they want

433
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: to sell NBC Universal.

434
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: At Al Sharpton's on the weekends.

435
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 6: If it doesn't in fact go through, there's still plenty

436
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 6: of concern how will impact the workforce here in Hollywood.

437
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: And you mean the workforce in Atlanta and New Mexico

438
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: and mostly Canada.

439
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: Whereas when they hed Aatzi can't get up to Canada

440
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: at the theaters the resulting behemoth.

441
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: So when did all his hair go white?

442
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 3: And that is a strange, strange trend. His hair was

443
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: not that white, not that long ago. No, maybe he

444
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 3: used some of that dong money for dye.

445
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 5: Every type of leadership is about meeting the moment and

446
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: rising to the occasion, and this is what's required, and

447
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: so we're stepping up and getting it done.

448
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: It was a little on the nose to have him

449
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: do this presser in front of the Hollywood Sign, which

450
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure the neighbors loved.

451
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, nearly.

452
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: Beechwood Canyon can't stand the tourists. They definitely can't stand

453
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 3: if the ag and a bunch of news cameras go

454
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: up there.

455
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine having this jackass standing out front of your house.

456
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 3: One third of theatrical motion pictures.

457
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 6: Standing behind the iconic Hollywood sign. Attorney General Rombanta announcing California,

458
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 6: along with other staints, are soon to block the proposed

459
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 6: mega merger between Paramount sky Dance and Warner Brothers Discovery.

460
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: Either it is funny how sky Dance buys Paramount and

461
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: immediately borrows more money to try to buy Warner Brothers.

462
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: It's like private equity and action in the movie business.

463
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: He should have had this press conference outside out in

464
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: front of a Pinki's van.

465
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 6: You want to walk over best one hundred and ten

466
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 6: billion dollar deal, which Bonta claims violents federal laws by

467
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: eroding competition, and he says it could lead to higher

468
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 6: prices for consumers.

469
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: And apparently this is a very narrow lawsuit because they're

470
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: not alleging that this would create a monopoly in the

471
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: streaming market, because the streaming market is dominated by Netflix

472
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 3: and notably YouTube, where we're broadcasting right now. Thirteen percent

473
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: of all screens watched I believe are on YouTube, nine

474
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 3: percent are on Netflix. The lower level streaming services like Paramount,

475
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: like HBO, like Peacock, they are just barely making a

476
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: dent in those. What the lawsuit is alleging is that

477
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: this creates unfair competition and a monopoly, and specifically the

478
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 3: movie distribution side of it.

479
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: Okay, but it's not the movie tickets that are expensive

480
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 2: at the movie theaters, especially on Tuesdays. How about the popcorn.

481
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: You want to talk about something that's bad for consumers?

482
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: Paying eight dollars for a small bag of popcorn would

483
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: be it? Why don't they investigate orable Red and Bocker.

484
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: Well, if you pay nine, they let you get the

485
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: giant one and you get unlimited refills. We have fewer

486
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: discounts to offer them, have fewer new releases to show. Well,

487
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: ticket prices will most law to go up.

488
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 9: This is fully in the court's hands and they definitely

489
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 9: have a lot to think about.

490
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 6: Page six. Media reporter and Kathy Stefan says a major

491
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 6: impact of this proposed deal is the number of California

492
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 6: jobs at stake.

493
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 9: When two companies that have very significant overlap in their

494
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 9: operations come together. That means there's also going to be

495
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 9: significant cuts because they don't want redundancy.

496
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 3: Well, we do know that happens. We're in radio and

497
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 3: we know it happens after this industry got deregulated in

498
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six.

499
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you don't need to HR departments. You don't

500
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: need two accounting departments, you don't need two community affairs.

501
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: Actually you don't even need one anymore. But you know

502
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: how that goes.

503
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 6: Asmond, LA County's Apartment of Economic Opportunity released a report

504
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 6: and claiming the merger places nearly twenty five hundred redundant

505
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 6: positions in the county at risk. In a statement in Paramounts,

506
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 6: Guidance argues delaying this transaction will only harm entertainment workers

507
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 6: who have already suffered over recent years.

508
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: See, they're saying, if you don't let us do this,

509
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: we're never going to be able to compete with Google

510
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 3: and Netflix, which they also threatened to leave the state

511
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 3: of California. How are they going to get think any

512
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: the whole studio to just lift up out of Hollywood

513
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: and go them too, They.

514
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 6: Claim a Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery merger is better

515
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 6: positioned to compete with companies like Netflix that have come

516
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 6: to dominate the industry.

517
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: Isn't it interesting how you go back to right before COVID,

518
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: and that's when all of these studios decided to spend

519
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: billion and billions and billions of dollars launching all of

520
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: their Netflix killers, Peacock, Hbo, Max, Hulu, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus,

521
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: and they all lost money immediately and now are in

522
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: the business of selling their content back to Netflix because

523
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: turns out that was the better business model to begin with.

524
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 9: Paramount is making the argument that Netflix and other prominent

525
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 9: streamers like Apple already have a monopoly and that by

526
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 9: elect I.

527
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: Love all the content on Apple. Don't get me wrong,

528
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: I'm not knocking it. Apple is not a prominent streamer.

529
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: Netflix is the biggest one by far. Apple has great content.

530
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: I'm a huge fan of all of it, but they

531
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: don't have that many people watching it, and they don't care.

532
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: They do it for the awards.

533
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: Who's the next closest one to Netflix is it Disney?

534
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: Well, Disney if you combine, And this is why they're

535
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: actually merging Hulu and Disney Plus because Disney Plus on

536
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: its own, wasn't it. It's a huge jump though, Netflix,

537
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: especially worldwide, is massive and the other streamers are barely close.

538
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: And even Netflix is still losing out two people going

539
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: on YouTube, which is why, and this is true. Netflix

540
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: has now started buying podcasts. Hey, Netflix, you want to give.

541
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 9: Us a callowing them to proceed.

542
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: They already put Charlamagne and the God on Netflix, did they.

543
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 9: Yes, Even with this merger, it's actually preventing an existing monopoly.

544
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 9: So it's really interesting that the same argument is being

545
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 9: used from two different sides of the same battle.

546
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 6: And the Writers Guild of America, the labor union representing

547
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 6: so many workers here in this industry, also were releasing

548
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 6: a statement today saying again they commend this lawsuit and

549
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 6: this move, and they fear the deal does go through.

550
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 6: They worry it will impact workers' wages as well as

551
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 6: JOMP opportunities.

552
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: Well, whatever you do, don't strike again. That was a disaster.

553
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: You notice, by the way, that Bonta is down in

554
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: southern California to make his way into the news, and

555
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: he chose Hollywood, and he chose this subject as opposed

556
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: to going to Boyle Heights, where there is an environmental

557
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: disaster that's making people sick.

558
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 3: Well, he probably forgot his gas mask.

559
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 6: Pre life in Hollywood? Are Rachel Aragon. I'll send it

560
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 6: back to you, Rachel.

561
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 8: There's an issue here also with the shareholders.

562
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 6: Correct when it comes to the war of other shareholders.

563
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 6: This deal really and this lawsuit, especially Christine's throwing a

564
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 6: wrench into all this because a deal was supposed to

565
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 6: I believe, go through at the end of September more

566
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 6: or less, give or take. And if it doesn't, that

567
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 6: could impact these shareholders financially. As we know, with any

568
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 6: lawsuit or legal issue, it does delay things. Right, So

569
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of a race to get this

570
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 6: finished across the finish line, but ultimately it will be in.

571
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: The hands of the courts.

572
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll tell you whether there's merit in this lawsuit

573
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: or not. This definitely is not a deal that is

574
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: getting done by September, which means that Paramount's going to

575
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: have to pay through the nose in order to get

576
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: this thing across the finish line. Probably, so they might,

577
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: even though it might not be right, they may need

578
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: to call Bob Bonta and try to make a deal.

579
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: This is emblematic though, of what we're seeing in other industries,

580
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: which is that industries that people associate with the state

581
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: of California are leaving company after company after company, and

582
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 3: there's just no end in sight. And I don't think

583
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: the entertainment industry will be any different. We know that

584
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: the shooting is already largely gone to other states and

585
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: other countries. But many of these movie houses they're still

586
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: headquartered here, but they don't necessarily.

587
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: Have to be. And if we continue to be a

588
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: thorn in their side, then maybe they'll leave too. Like

589
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: the oil companies and the banks and the technology companies.

590
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 3: Well, considering who some of the majority investors are in

591
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: this deal, it's very possible that paramount, once they finish

592
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: this deal, will leave Los angelesten go to Saudi Arabia,

593
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: who's going to be one of the majority shareholders.

594
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: It's possible. If you'd like to email the show, you

595
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: can do so at Johnny don't like show at gmail

596
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: dot com. That's Johnny, don't like show at gmail dot com.

597
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: And Randy, you're monitoring the mail bag.

598
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: All right? I got a couple of emails to point

599
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: in here. First off, Robert writes in and says, I

600
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: thought you guys were having a whirl premiere, but we have,

601
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: and we'll occasionally do this. If you are an artist

602
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 3: and you want to demonstrate your work here on the show,

603
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: we are sometimes more than happy to oblige. Listener John

604
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: writes in of a picture of Karen Bass standing over

605
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 3: the corpse flower, declaring that the stinky flower air is

606
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: totally fine. That is fantastic.

607
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: How are we doing on the subscriptions to the Accountability

608
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: Podcast and the likes on today's show?

609
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: Let's check it out. So today's total, we need to

610
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: get to one thousand subscribers before you get the Kathy video,

611
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: and we have a brand new episode of the show

612
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: posting tomorrow. We're at nine hundred and nine subscribers, so

613
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: we're getting real close. Ninety one to go. When it

614
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: comes to likes for today's show, which is really easy.

615
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 3: Hit the thumbs up button if you're watching us right now,

616
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: if you're watching us later on, hit that thumbs up button.

617
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: We're at two hundred and two.

618
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we beat two hundred, which was the

619
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: goal for today. All right. We know that local governments

620
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: here in the state of California are obsessed with bike lanes.

621
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: They want you out of your car, they want you

622
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: riding the metro. And if you're unwilling to ride the Metro,

623
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: they want you to go to work on your bicycle,

624
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: which means they want to build more bike lanes and

625
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: Randy in Sacramento because they want people to use those

626
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: bike lanes. One of the things that they're now doing

627
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 2: is cracking down on motorists who park their car in

628
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: the bike lane.

629
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: And they're using AI, the same technology that makes John

630
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: look like he plays for the Oakland A's, to generate

631
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 3: parking tickets. Here is ABC ten in Sacramento.

632
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: New at six drivers in Sacramento illegally stopped in bike

633
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 4: lanes will now be cited.

634
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 5: And the city says those citations will be issued using AI.

635
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 5: ABC ten's Peter Warner has more on what it could cost.

636
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 10: The City of Sacramento has partnered with Hayden AI, an

637
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 10: artificial intelligence company, to enforce traffic and parking violations.

638
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: I wonder how much money they're getting for this, and

639
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: is it going to be more money than they're actually

640
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 3: going to raise from these tickets?

641
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 2: Probably soon.

642
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 3: That was the problem with the red light camera program,

643
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 3: even though it was declared unconstitutional in some jurisdictions, it

644
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 3: costs more to administer than the money they were bringing in.

645
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 11: This really wasn't a possibility intel state law changed, so

646
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 11: ABY three sixty one was passed in twenty twenty three

647
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 11: and went into law January first, twenty twenty four, and

648
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 11: the first to take it on was actually Sacramento.

649
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 10: Regional Transit City Buses added a front facing camera that

650
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 10: detected bus and bike lane violations. Since launching in twenty

651
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 10: twenty five, the system has issued over thirty two thousand

652
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 10: bus stop violations and over twenty five thousand bike lane violations.

653
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 10: That same technology will now be on the front of

654
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 10: three traffic enforcement vehicles.

655
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess the technology is coming for us after all.

656
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 2: Okay, So I wonder if it's only for gross violators

657
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: or if this is like Wimbledon and it's on the line,

658
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: it counts.

659
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 11: So there's a front facing camera. So just like you

660
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 11: and I turned out, these.

661
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: Are the same cameras they want to put in front

662
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: of buses to see if anybody is actually in the

663
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 3: bus only.

664
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 11: Lane on our video is what it's doing is just recording,

665
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 11: so it's actually showing that the car is in the

666
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 11: bike lane.

667
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 10: That is all about these new AI enforcement cameras will do.

668
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: And I want to make door dashers are going to

669
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: get so many tickets.

670
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: Oh oh, this is gonna be awful for them.

671
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 11: They get very clear. The state legislation only authorizes the

672
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 11: city to use this for those who park in bike lanes.

673
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 10: And if your car is parked in a bike lane

674
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 10: just like this, and it's especially in your school as well.

675
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 3: Now you're narking on this guy, what up?

676
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: How much do you think this is going to cost

677
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: Amazon for those delivery vans.

678
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: Well, they don't even worry about parking in the bike lane.

679
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 3: The Amazon vans just double park all the time. Blocking

680
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 3: the road happens on Van oh in every single day,

681
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 3: and everyone's like, well, I gotta get my packages, so

682
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 3: I don't care.

683
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care. I want my cheap crap from China.

684
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said crap. We're not on the podcast.

685
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: I know.

686
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 10: And you haven't increased chance of getting a ticket from

687
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 10: this new AI enforcement. Over the last two months, seventy

688
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 10: five warnings were given out. Now those warnings will become citations,

689
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 10: and any citation that is flagged by the AI software

690
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 10: will be reviewed by a set of human eyes.

691
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: At least that one's a fairly obvious sign that just

692
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: says no parking at any time. The problem you have

693
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: in places like Los Angeles is there's fifteen different signs

694
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: that tell you when and when you cannot park there,

695
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: and you have no idea, and then you get a ticket,

696
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: and you have no idea why.

697
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 11: Somebody might say, oh, this is just a way of

698
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 11: a you know, to get more money for the city

699
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 11: of Sakama.

700
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 5: In actuality, I wish.

701
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 11: I didn't need this. I wish people just didn't park

702
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 11: in bike lanes.

703
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 10: But to Kaplan, safety is the primary goal of this

704
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 10: new form of enforcement.

705
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 11: Well, I am hoping that we can maybe change behavior

706
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 11: and people don't park in bike zones near our schools,

707
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 11: and that we see a reduction in pedestrian and bicycle

708
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 11: accidents in Sacramento.

709
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 10: Peter Warner ABC ten.

710
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: Now that's one of the statistics they they'll always put

711
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: in for why we need things like this, because there's

712
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 3: so many pedestrian injuries and fatalities. But John, what did

713
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: we learn from Karen bassar'sself about what really is in

714
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: those statistics? Up and down the state of California.

715
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: It's all the homeless that are getting run over.

716
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 3: Because they jump out in the middle of the street

717
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 3: in the middle of the night.

718
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 5: And keep in mind, city officials say they will only

719
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 5: keep video if a citation is issued. In case of

720
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 5: an appeal, the fine for these new citations will be

721
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty.

722
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 3: Dollars before you know all the added fees. But there

723
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: you go. That is what's going on in Sacramento. We

724
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: got a message on the chad here. Why are they

725
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 3: going to issue tickets when the little bastards take over

726
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 3: the street? That is a great point. Eddie Casey writes

727
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: in and says, let's be real, how many people are

728
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: actually riding bites? I never see anyone in the bike lanes.

729
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 3: There is a bike lane on the street near my house.

730
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: I have never seen anybody in it once. I have

731
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 3: seen a lot of dents the ballards. Though, no in

732
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: big cities. Maybe in San Francisco you could make the case,

733
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 3: but it's got to be a primarily East Coast thing

734
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: where you have big, vertically built cities. And okay, it's

735
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 3: possible to bike from your office to your home or

736
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: from your home to the gym or whatever. In California,

737
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 3: we're built horizontally. If you live in Claremont and you

738
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: work in Huntington Beach, you cannot ride your bike there,

739
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: and it's impractical to think that someone would.

740
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: All right, that's it for us today. Tonight at midnight, Randy,

741
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,960
