Welcome. 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.639 It's great to actually be seen on the John Phillips Show. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.120 I really can't believe you guys are on fire across 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.640 social media right now, but John, I really feel being 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.920 a friend of KBC, I owe you something right to 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.280 begin with, be aware the show for everybody knowing on 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.280 YouTube is streaming on Facebook and the showing of my 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.720 face may be a violation of their community standards. So 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.000 just be aware of them. 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.600 All right, Well, there's so much to get to. Let's 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.560 start out talking about the crisis right now going on 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.040 in Boyle Heights, where you had what was essentially a 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.960 chemical fire that burned for a very long time. The 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.760 County Department of Public Health, led by Barbara Ferrer and 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.680 the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass went into that 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.360 neighborhood and told the residents that it was perfectly safe 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.600 to breathe in that smoke, which they did for a 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.799 long time. Now their lungs are filled with fluid, they're 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.800 bleeding from the nose, they have rashes all over their body. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.280 We now have these superflies that could pretend spread disease 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.280 and caused death. They still, I guess now they're starting 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.720 to evacuate the area. The residents are demanding an evacuation, 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.880 but the government has been very slow to move on 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.400 this at every possible level. Gavin Newsom still hasn't even 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:22.119 gone to ground zero to meet with these people who 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.920 are living in this daily hell. And it seems to 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:31.760 me that as a guy your background is in hard sciences. 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.720 As a guy with a background in hard sciences, I'm 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.360 sure you look at this as just a perfect example 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.240 as to how the government in California at virtually every 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.840 level doesn't function. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.080 There is so much to unwrap there, but let's cut 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.400 through what I was saying during the recall California. The 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.080 federal government goes through and n ross organizations and rank 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.280 states every year. Stick with me for most likely lead 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:07.040 to have a disaster. California ranks number one or number two. Earthquake, 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.400 a fire, shocking, anything like happen in Royal Heights. So 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.880 the fires that happened about a year ago or so. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.520 The biggest problem with John is really simple California. In 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.880 case you haven't figured that out. This is another reason 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.400 I'm running for State Senate. The California Office of Emergency Services, 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:29.919 the government's main job is to be prepared when stuff happens. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:36.080 They seem continuously surprised. There's a fire, it's July. We 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.239 had a warehouse with solar panels on top, which hasn't 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.839 been checked. It's nineteen twenties. Look the pipers that was 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:47.600 built in what nineteen oh six or something. Government's jaws 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.480 to be prepared for disasters they are going to happen. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.120 Gavin Newsom doesn't come down from the mountain because he 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:59.919 won't Karen Bass doesn't know what to do. Not to 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.359 get too political. Wait, this is a political show, I 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.440 can The reality is that's what government is supposed to do, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.919 especially in California's prepare us for disasters. Don't tell us 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.640 it's safe to go outside. It's not. When you have 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.720 things burning like you're free on or what happened over 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.080 in Orange Chanty. It's gonna happen again, boys and girls, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.000 and government needs to keep prepared for it. And by 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.640 the way, this is just the tip of the iceberg. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.080 I've been reporting lately on the fact that the San 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.680 Andreas fault is getting pretty grumpy. Okay, and for those 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.680 of it it seems like a long time to nature, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.640 it's merely a second. We are due to have another 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.880 big one. I'm not saying this to be ominous. It's 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.600 gonna happen, Okay, rain comes, We're gonna have mud slides. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.760 We better get prepared, and it's government's job to protect people. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.240 What to do when these things happened, and how to react. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.520 Hold on, I can see a visual. I love this. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:05:59.440 I hold up my head. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:05.000 This is really great. COVID is a perfect example of 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:10.280 shall we say a slow building alleged even disaster, they 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.359 had months to do something about it and they couldn't 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.240 figure out what to do. So when a fire comes, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.000 why is everybody seem shocked? The government does not know 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:24.200 what to do, both on the local and the state level. 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.279 How much trouble do you think we're going to be 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.839 in with this current crowd that's in charge if the 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.919 big one does hit? Because you look back in the 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.640 past when the north Ridge quake hit and we had 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.160 Richard Reardon as the mayor, we had Pete Wilson as 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.240 the governor, We had a board of supervisors in La 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.760 County that was engaged. We had the best of the 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.240 best in charge at that time, and they got us 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.839 through it and they rebuilt that freeway ahead of schedule 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.000 and people really moved on with their lives very quickly 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.960 given how much damage was done. I feel like if 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.839 the big one were to hit, with Karen Bass and 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.760 Gavin Newsom and the current makeup of the Board of Supervisors, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.640 we'd be in big, big, big trouble. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.960 It's beyond belief. Let's for everybody out there, and the 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.120 DSA screaming we don't want to fund the cops for 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.720 criminal justice. We don't want Look, who are you going 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.440 to call when a disaster happens? A mental health worker 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.520 to pull the rubble off you. Okay, we don't have 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.440 the police force, and I want to go back to 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.440 state government because this really pulls down for La County 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:41.200 and everybody listening to show the California Office of Emergency 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:47.320 Services CEOES, started really by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is supposed to 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.920 be the one coordinating this. I hate to break it 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.160 to everybody, but natural disasters or even unnatural ones like 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.800 plane wrecks and fires, if they don't really care about 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.360 county lines, right if it's our Orange County, they're gonna 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.520 things are gonna go across county lines. It's state's government 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.920 job to keep the counties in line. It's state's government 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.840 job to make sure that we actually have the resources 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:17.400 to deploy. Going back to Northridge many moons ago. Okay, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.120 what is even more shocking that wasn't even that big 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.040 a shaker. We didn't even have the population density we 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.440 did today, but we had people to deploy, and we 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.640 don't have john people to deploy in Los Angeles County. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.480 Right now, let's switch gears. And talk about the homeless numbers. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.880 We just had a new count that was produced showing 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.960 that the homeless population, despite the fact that we're spending 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.239 a record amount of money to fight homelessness in Los Angeles, 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:53.320 has gone up. The same thing has happened in Long Beach, 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.920 which is the second largest city in Los Angeles County. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.240 The homeless population is up there. Yet you look at 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.480 the number nationwide, you look at other big states in 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.720 other parts of the country, and homelessness is down. It's 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.160 up in California, it's down just about everywhere else. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.760 Saturday Night Live writers called me the other day just 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.760 to do a skit in California because you really can't 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.920 make this up. Let's take a step back again, how 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.480 and nept we are at homelessness and we don't call 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.640 our government accountable if they had started they started before 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.160 counting the homeless. John with counting the number of tiny 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.240 houses that Gavin Newsom promised to build back in twenty 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.360 twenty three, if you remember, he had a big press 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.600 conference and I'm going to build twelve hundred tiny houses. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.480 You're going to hold me accountable, and I'm gonna do 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.640 it within a year or eighteen months. Now for everybody 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.559 out there to understand, we allocated forty or fifty million. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:58.520 This was the house homeless people. These are prefabricated houses 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.040 on empty lots. And I remember watching that press conference 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.600 going how could he possibly screw this up? You buy 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.320 the house, you put it on a lot, you get, 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.240 I mean, their house is already made. A year later 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.000 we built none. What is it three years later we've 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.320 actually not built but even put in place something like 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.960 three hundred of them. The nettoness of government in solving 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.280 the homeless problem and the amount of money that they 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.760 put in is insane. We all know it's corruption. We 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.360 all know it's layers and layers of people running around 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.000 with crack pipes and golf carts making sixty thousand year. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.840 By the way, I did apply for that job. But 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.800 the reality is, you take something as simple as putting 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:52.640 a pre fab house pre made, you order it, puts 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.880 off the truck, you put it on an empty lot. Okay, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.600 probably when the kvcgo crew got off tonight, we could 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.800 pull off a few. And within three years Gavin Newsom's 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.760 government state government has pulled off none. And we don't 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.840 call them out on it. We simply seem shocked that 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.520 the homeless count as up, and I would like to 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.040 add it's up a lot more than you think because 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.319 everybody out there, as my best friend roc or Google 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.840 the number of homeless people that died in Los Angeles 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.160 last year. It was about seventeen hundred. So the count's 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.920 actually up more than you think it is because they 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.000 don't count the dead people. It's sad. We're kind of 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.160 being at the sea here today. It's really sad that 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:44.280 the government runs from its responsibility. I'm not even sure 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.560 how some of the things they proposed, which makes sense, 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.680 they've managed to screw up. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.120 You are running for the state legislature right now, the 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.960 state Senate, to be specific. If you were to get 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.880 elected to the legislature, where would auditing the money that 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.760 we spend on homeless services be on your priority list? 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.520 About number one, let me tell you something. I've stated 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.400 this in articles. The first thing I would do is 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.679 roll back a lot of legislation that we don't need. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.280 And every state legislature out there and they choose not 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.439 to has access to the state auditors and the Office 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.600 of Accountability or whatever they're called to get into the 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.680 books as much as can things that we as a 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.160 general public don't. I really would like to know, for example, 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.600 where the sixty million went for the tiny houses, because 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.760 it's vanished. So Number one, I want to know for 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:45.160 my constituents the east saying Gabriel Valley, Okay, where is 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.959 the money gone that is directly they've been taxed for 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:54.240 for things like homelessness Prop thirty six, et cetera, et cetera. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.240 Where has that money vaporize too? So I want to 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.080 be very clear here. I'm running for State Senate twenty two, 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.560 not for governor. That's Hilton's job, and I want to 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.120 know exactly I'm cut by the way. This office covers 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.199 a million people where the explete of deleted. Has our 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:17.280 money gone? And it's time we open the books. Everybody 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.199 can't wait to do it. In the federal government, Valuci's 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.040 in the news this morning. I get it. But California 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.480 has burned so much of just the people of the 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.240 value that I've lived in, and it's gotten worse. How 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.120 but the boiler fight heights fire is it in the 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:36.400 San Gabriel Valley. But the air over here smells bad 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.480 and looks, shall we say not produce? Guys, when you 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.520 wake up in the morning much of the time. And why, 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.280 by the way, no one's allowed to barbecue or wants to. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.640 And why do you think that is? Because again nature 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.040 spills it over here. And it's about time we found 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.480 out why the government isn't prepared for it. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:01.120 If there was a legit audit on these homeless services groups, 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.920 these NGOs, how many people do you think would end 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:05.640 up in prison? 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.319 Well, I think Gavin would have to reverse his course 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.880 or somebody was and build more prisons. Is the best 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.400 beef because it's literal. And you know we've got we've 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:21.320 grown so immune. We hear billions. I mean we talked 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.880 bill oh, like a billion dollars, I talked thirty million 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.520 dollars just vanished. And I don't know about everybody out 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.680 there and listen to it. Please put in the comments 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.680 if you'd like to have a million dollars today, I 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.120 sure would, okay the amount. And you were talking about 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.360 Oakland and the mayor what his name was, Hong Dong Long, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:46.560 Well Hongo was right. And with the massage pollers, they're like, oh, 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.360 they just scammed like four million. That's Tuesday. Do you 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.360 realize how much money these people are scamming and so 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.640 many people because we we tend to ignore it because 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.360 we've become immune to the immense size of the fraud 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.640 which is drilled down into our city and state offices. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:13.560 My opponent, as you know, maybe how do I put this? 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.320 She made not look pretty in pink in a few months? 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.120 Is the bad? How's that sound? Orange? Is the new black? 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:23.000 I heard? And because of the exact kind of thing, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.160 this has been going on for a very long time. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.200 So to answer your questions to Sinkly, I don't know 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.160 because I went to public school and can't count that eye. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.880 How much of this corruption do you think is there 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.480 because we are a one party state and no one 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.200 is minding the store of it. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.600 Let's get real. When you don't have opposing forces, you 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.520 can use any government you want anywhere at time. You 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.160 can use any anything anywhere when you do not have 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.760 opposing forces over a period of time, John, you're a 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.320 political science major. I believe that was day right that 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.360 you have to have balance of forces political forces unless 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.160 people rise up, which becomes an opposing force. It's all 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:14.120 because of that, because these politicians and all of these 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:18.120 people below them are more concerned about keeping their jobs, 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.040 and when nobody is checking in on them to figure 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.920 out where this is going. This is why the Feds 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.120 have to come in. They're the opposing force. It's rather 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.920 sad that we have to have the federal government like 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.320 the raids which took placey yesterday, which things that should 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.760 have been watched by San Berdino and frankly the County 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.160 of Los Angeles whatever they were allegedly waiting for. But 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.680 I guarantee it's got to do it. It'd be the money, 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:45.720 which is a lot of money to you and me. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:50.400 It's nobody's watching this store because they can't because they 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:55.160 will lose their jobs, all right. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:59.840 Mike Netter candidate for State Senate in the San Gabriel Valley. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.680 It's District twenty two.

All right, 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.080 we know that retail theft is a problem here in 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.560 the state of California. How do we know that, Well, 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.719 your shampoo is locked up behind bulletproof glass over at 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:20.240 the target. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.920 Not just shampoo. Ghetto does have the lug up the sock. 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:29.320 Well, now, Sacramento is kicking tires on the idea of 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.520 creating diversion programs for retail thieves. 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:39.600 This would actually take Prop thirty six that is already 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:45.000 underfunded and completely kneecap it because they want to on 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:49.080 your first retail theft defense to get you right into diversion. 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:55.359 For more on this, we go to ABC ten. In Sacramento. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.760 Well, public safety leaders are pushing back against a bill 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.000 at the state Capitol. Some say it will undermine Proposition 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:06.119 thirty six, but others disagree. ABC ten State Matters political 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.560 reporter Jenny huh is here now with a closer look 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:09.439 at both sides. 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.240 Well, very simply put, ABE twenty one eight sets to 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.879 create a diversion option for some retilt deft defenses, but 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.760 because Prop thirty six was designed to strengthen accountability. 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.240 Is Hey, that's the name of our podcast. 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.440 A new edition drop today. 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.320 Especially for repeat offenders. Opponents say they worry the bill 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.000 would undermine Prop thirty six. 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:36.280 Its practical effect is to weaken the repeat offender accountability. 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.359 There it is again, California is Over. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.400 The reason we name the podcast that is because everyone 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:52.560 uses that word all the time, and it's completely Meaninglesswhelming. 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.320 Voter to restore by allowing theft related offenses to be 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:54.640 dismissed through diversion. 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.280 A coalition of public safety advocates and law enforcement officials 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.040 are sounding the alarm bells over Assembly Bill twenty one 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.360 oh eight. Bill author Assembly Member doctor lache Sharp Collins 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.560 is hoping to create a diversion option for. 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:07.640 What's she a doctor of. 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:13.120 Probably not medicine, certain retail theft defensive. 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.120 Notice that mds never forced you to call them doctor, 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:20.080 but if you have an edd like Jill Biden, you 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.639 demand to be called doctor twenty four to seven. 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.160 And then the views like, yeah, and she's a great doctor. 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.080 Well woopee wanted her to be surgeon general. 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.680 Joblifting and vandalism. If the bill becomes law, anyone, not 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.920 just first time offenders, who has committed nonviolent, low level 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.440 retail theft could be granted diversion. Upon completion of treatment, 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:44.840 the charges would be dismissed. 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.080 What does nonviolent mean? Because thanks to Prop forty seven, 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:51.840 a whole bunch of violent crimes got declassified as nonviolent crimes, 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.760 including assault on a police officer. 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.280 Here's the thing. Also, the reason that there's drug diversion 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:02.840 for people who are with drugs is because that's an addiction. 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.360 The addiction is causing the person to take the drugs 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:11.280 and you need to break that cycle. How could you 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.159 make that argument for going into a target and taking 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.760 something you didn't pay for. That's not an addiction. I 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:22.000 guess there were klept domainiacs, but outside of klept domainiacs, 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:24.760 it's not people who are doing it because of a 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:28.639 mental health problem. It's people who are doing it because 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.400 they don't want to pay for the items they're taking. 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:35.399 Or they're literally paid to boost the items. There is 0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.439
