Once again, the city of Los Angeles is broke. 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: At today's LA City Council meeting the city's legislative officer 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: says that LA is facing a ninety one million dollar 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: budget deficit. 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: No good job, Karen, No, could you imagine what that 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: deficit would be if the Socialists were to be elected? 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Which one? There's two running. That's true. 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: It's not a namsy pamsy thing. 12 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: I listened to that debate, the one that Karen and 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt didn't go to. So it was between Nithia 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: and Ray Huang and this guy Adam Miller. And it was. 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: Fascinating, fascinating in what way fascinating that I actually made 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: it through the entire thing without turning it off. Now, 17 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: wasn't this debate sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America? 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: Well? 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: What this debate was sponsored by a worst group, the 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: streets for all people, the ones that are pushing all 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: the road diets. Oh god, But here's the good thing. 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: They sponsored this debate, They put it forth, they streamed 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: it on the Internet, and nobody checked to see if 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: the connection was working, so the audio crapped out the 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: entire time, So a whole bunch of people that thought 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: they were going to watch this debate did not watch 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: this debate. There you go. 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: You put a bunch of socialists in a room and 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: you schedule a debate that's supposed to be broadcast on 30 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: the internet, and the only people who get to hear 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: it are the people in the room. 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: And it was packed. Every single response, no matter what 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: the question was, This guy Adam Miller, who owns a 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: nonprofit would get no applause, Nithia would get golf collapse, 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: and then Ray Huang, the full blown socialist who wants 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: free buses, would get cheers for every single answer. We 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: are so doomed, I got to move. 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: telephone number one.

La Mayor 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: Karen Bass said that she was going to get the 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: homeless off the streets in Los Angeles. They're not exactly 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: moving into housing, but now we know she's kind of 47 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 2: keeping her promise because she's moving them off the streets 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: and into the sewers. 49 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: This was a story that Matthew Sedorf at Fox eleven 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: broke after he got a tip from Juan Nala, the 51 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: guy who does clean La with me, who is every 52 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: single day stepping up and even though he doesn't mean 53 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: to do this, embarrassing the crap out of the failures 54 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: of the city of Los Angeles. Storm found the lady 55 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: living in the sewer, and not twenty four hours later 56 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: that story an election year was so damning and so 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: embarrassing to everything that Karen Bass is trying to frame 58 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: as a success story. Then Ellie's Sanitation went down there 59 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: to shut it down as a hazmat situation. Thank God, 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: good work, Matthew Seedorf. Our local reporters get more done 61 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: in a day than our politicians do all year long. 62 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: And that's the same in the Bay Area too. For 63 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: more on the situation with the lady living in the 64 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: sewer in South LA let's start with this report from 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Matthew Seedorf, and then if we have time we'll get 66 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: into Christina Gonzalez, who had a full on conversation with 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: sewer lady. Oh mind. Here's Fox eleven today, follow. 68 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: Up to a story you saw first here on Fox 69 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: eleven a homeless woman living in a storm drain in 70 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: South La.

Fox Love is Matthew Sudorf is back again 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: tonight Developments. 73 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 5: Matthew, Oh, Christine, those sanitation workers left about ten minutes ago, 74 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 5: but I'll show you what was left behind. They were 75 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: here for the better part of five hours. There's a 76 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: massive cleanup effort you can see. 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, just think about this. This is 78 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: another situation where the residents of this neighborhood have complained 79 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: about the conditions for weeks and months and nothing would happen. 80 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: The city move with zero urgency. You embarrass them on 81 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: the TV and La sands out there the next day. 82 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: And you know what's so sad about this is typically, 83 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: if you have a problem with your city, you have 84 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: a problem with some company, you have a problem with 85 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: your employer, whatever the case may be, you're supposed to 86 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: handle it by going through the chain of command. 87 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: The chain of command is there for a reason. And 88 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: when you go through the chain of command, and the 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: chain of command is designed to make sure that you 90 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: can't fix the problem. What it does is it trained 91 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: you to go out side the chain of command, which 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 2: is exactly what you don't want of five hours. 93 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: There's a massive cleanup effort. You can see the road 94 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 5: out here is still wet. They have this massive rock 95 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 5: now on top of that storm drain, so no one 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 5: else can sneak inside. 97 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: So a little backstory, how did the woman get into 98 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: the sewer? Somebody stole the manhole cover, probably to sell 99 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: it to a scrapper, and then they put a doghouse 100 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: on top of the open hole and that's what you 101 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: lift up to go live in the sewer. The city 102 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: has now put a giant boulder on top of the 103 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: sewer hole. This is so chaotic. 104 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 5: A deep cleanup underway in South la. 105 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: Hey that rhyme seedorf can you run for mayor? 106 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 5: A deep cleanup underway in South la sanitation cruise and 107 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 5: has Matt here sucking up? 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: I gotta say his reporting career when he was in 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Houston was never this exciting, now, was it? 110 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: No? 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: It was also never this disgusting. 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 5: Annotation cruise and has matt gear sucking up human waste 113 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 5: and trash from a storm drain, calling it a hot zone, 114 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 5: keeping the public one hundred feet back. 115 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what a hot zone is, but it 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: does not sound good. 117 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: Now, in theory, doesn't all of this in the sewer 118 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: eventually go to the ocean? 119 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: Yes, it does.

Yet they have all the time in 176 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: the world to make life miserable for people in Pacific 177 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: Palisades and Alta Dina trying to rebuild their homes. 178 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: We talk to you all for a minute. 179 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: Nope, se do or be careful, dude. 180 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: We want you to have a healthy and happy career 181 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: here in LA.

The same situation going on 192 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: in South LA is similar to what we see in 193 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: a lot of encampments. This is true in places where 194 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: Nithia Ramen is the city council person. It's also true 195 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: in places like MacArthur Park. You might think all the 196 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: people that are in these tents are just you know, 197 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: people who are addicted to drugs, are mentally ill. This 198 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: is also where the gangs operate in the tents living 199 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: among Who do you think is selling them all the drugs? 200 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: The gangs are also in the encampments, and they have 201 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: the cover of we don't enforce our homeless codes that neighborhood. 202 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: And you have certain ideas in your head as to 203 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: what South Los Angeles is in what it looks like, 204 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: it's not your father's South La. The only way to 205 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: clean this up is to take all of these homeless 206 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: people who are living on the streets or in the 207 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: sewers and put them in institutions and deport about half 208 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: the population. 209 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: Well, we haven't done that. What we have done is 210 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: a consistent campaign of rebrand because this area used to 211 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: be called South Central, but that had a bad connotation 212 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: because of all the gang wars, so then we called 213 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: it South La. And then do you remember, Johnny when 214 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: Holly Mitchell tried to start that campaign last year of 215 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: trying to change this neighborhood to South loss. 216 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: Right, because by changing the name of the neighborhood they 217 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: think they're going to change the image as opposed to, oh, 218 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, getting people out of the sewers, a fire. 219 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 5: Hydrant used for water and the utility box tapped for electricity. 220 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: How is none of that enforced. We are literally in 221 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: a city where the fire hydrants weren't working and the 222 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: worst fire we've ever seen, and several of them have 223 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: been vandalized and destroyed because the homeless are tapping into them. 224 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: And I doubt the people that are fooled around with 225 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: the electric grid there have any kind of degree in 226 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: electric and they're also risking burning the entire neighborhood down. 227 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: We know that the LAFD responds to like thirty homeless 228 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: fires a day. How many of those fires are started 229 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: because of all the illegal things they're doing tapping into 230 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: the utility polls. 231 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: This is a problem with the city government because the 232 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 2: city government tells code enforcement, they tell the cops, they 233 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: tell everyone who's supposed to deal with this to look 234 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: the other way because it's a protected class of people 235 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 2: who are doing this. It's homeless, it's drug addicts, and 236 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: it's criminals. 237 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 5: A fire hydrant, use for water in the utility box, 238 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 5: tapped for electricity. 239 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes you'll see people seriously, Spencer Pratt, you don't even 240 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: need to hire an ad campaign. Just post this video. 241 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: Do what Vira Gosa did with one of those videos 242 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: during the gubernatorial campaign. 243 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: Just take Seator's report. Have your campaign people buy some 244 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: time where people can see this all day long. It's 245 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: everything you need to know about why Karen's gotta go. 246 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: There's not even one percent of this that's defensible put up, 247 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: and this is her signature issue that she is claiming 248 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: success on. Are you seeing success in any of the 249 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: neighborhoods where it's been the worst, you're seeing zero and 250 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: in a certain instances it's gotten worse. 251 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: Well, and it's not just her failure. This is Holly 252 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: Mitchell's district in theory. Isn't this something that the Department 253 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: of Public Health should be all over if people are 254 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: living in the sewers? But of course the county government's 255 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: not going to do anything about it because Satan running 256 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: the department doesn't care about this. She just wants to 257 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: make sure that everyone's wearing the mask. 258 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Well, she probably went down there and made sure that 259 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: everyone got a free meth pipe. 260 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 6: No, thank you. 261 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: And how about Gavin Newsom. 262 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: You're telling everyone that Florida is effed up, and you're 263 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: telling everyone that Texas is leffed up. This is happening 264 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: in your state. This is happening in the largest city 265 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 2: in your state. You can't do anything to clean this up. Well, 266 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: localism is determinative. 267 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: Pulling up, pulling the copper. 268 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 5: How long have you been with our street life by 269 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 5: a couple of years. 270 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: The amount of money people pay to live in this 271 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: city and they get nothing for it. This is the 272 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: complete breakdown of civilization. 273 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 5: All next to another storm drain also being used as 274 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 5: shelter leading. 275 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: So three miles down there's more people living in the sewer. 276 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: There's probably more people underground than above ground. I'm telling 277 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: you what this report is uncovering is that all of 278 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: Karen Bass's BS statistics are exactly that BS. She didn't 279 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: take anyone off the street. They're just living underground. 280 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: Pop that lead in them and they go inside. 281 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: I guess they got beds of they. 282 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 5: A spokesperson for Mayor Karen Bass telling Fox eleven those 283 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 5: impacted are being offered resources. 284 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, send the social workers in. 285 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 5: Adding this is so tragic and it's emblematic of the 286 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 5: tough challenges that Mayor Bass is taking on that were 287 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 5: ignored for decades. 288 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: Sure, that's the problem, Antonio Virago said, do you have 289 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: anything to say about that? 290 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: She's blaming you. That's awkward because they've endorsed each other. 291 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: He endorsed her for reelection and she endorsed him for governor. 292 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: But of course, yes, these problems, I'll go back decades, 293 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: so many except she's been in charge for the past 294 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: four years, So shouldn't you have anything to show for it? 295 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 5: You'd think so many issues impact. 296 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: She bankrupted the city by spending all of her money 297 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: on her homeless programs, and they haven't done a damn thing. 298 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 5: So many issues impact in this area. Michael, show you 299 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 5: another one.

As she walks past us, she is mumbling. 521 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: Hard to make that's either mental illness, math or both. 522 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: Okay, if we're going to do another update on this, 523 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 2: we're going to need to bring in Gary Busey, our translator. 524 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 6: Hard to make out what she was saying, but something 525 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 6: about being homeless and where's she going to go? I 526 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 6: know they were trying to help her or get her 527 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 6: to accept help.

What do you call it? 561 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: You know what? I don't even want you to think. 562 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 6: And if they don't secure it well enough, they're gonna 563 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 6: steal it again and she'll be. 564 00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: Right back in there there. 565 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: That's where they put the giant boulder on it.

They got rid of the doghouse 567 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: they're afraid of. 568 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 6: So that is what is going on here live in 569 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 6: South Los Angeles. Obviously a very difficult situation. And again 570 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 6: as to the bigger picture, what you saw happening all 571 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 6: around here. If we get an answer from the Mayor's 572 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 6: office or the council member out here, we'll be sure 573 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 6: to put it on our website at Foxholate dot com. 574 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 3: I'm Christina concent No. 575 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure which district this is in, 576 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: because this could either be Current Price Territory who's in 577 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: the middle of a corruption trial, or this is Marquesiland Marquesy, 578 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: who is in a whole situation with trying to get 579 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: out of an illegal U turn ticket. By claiming LAPD's racist. 580 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: How in the world can Gavin Nooso and run for president? 581 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 2: Localism is determinative. None of this is his fault. I mean, 582 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: you just sit here and you look at the news 583 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: every day. It's like when you see these people who 584 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: you know are in marriages that have a million in 585 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 2: one problems. They're cheating, they're mean to each other, they 586 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: speak horribly about one another, constant fighting, constant conflict, try 587 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: to turn the kids against one another. And then you go, okay, 588 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: what is your job, sir, Oh, I'm a marriage and 589 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: family counselor, And you go you're giving advice to other 590 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: people and this is your life. Well, yeah, that's what 591 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 2: my degrees are in. Gavin Newsom thinks that he should 592 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: be running the entire country when this is his portfolio. 593 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: He'll be like, hey, I was never mayor of La 594 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco's on the upswing. That's exactly what he would do. 595 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: He would just blame someone else, not by name, because 596 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: then he'd have to say Karen Bass is a baffoone. 597 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: But he would just say it's unfair to blame me 598 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 2: for this. I have no control. I'm not the mayor 599 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: of California.
