Oh before I play that, Eric, 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: get cut five Scott Jennings, because this is really important 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 2: that you understand. With all the screaming hysteria going on 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: over ICE deporting people, you would think that many, many 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: American citizens have been misidentified as illegal aliens and they 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: have been targeted and profiled begau because of their skin color, 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: or race or ethnicity. Wait till you hear Scott Jennings 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 2: is a CNN commentator what the success rate is when 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: ICE grabs a suspected alien. 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: So according to the reporting, there have been one hundred 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: and seventy American citizens who have been detained for some 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: period of time. During this period in which they have 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: deported about six hundred and sixty thousand illegal aliens, that's 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: about a ninety nine point nine nine nine seven percent 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: success rate. If any other government agency got stuff that 26 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: right that often, we'd be throwing them a picker pot parade. 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: You just had to laugh. You've seen all the hysteria. 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: You've heard it. You've heard all the pontificating, the righteous 29 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: anger and the indignation, the violence, the protest, these these screaming, lunatic, 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: middle aged white women out in the streets. Six hundred 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: and sixty thousand people deported. Think of that number, and 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: at a six hundred and sixty thousand, they only got 33 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: it wrong one hundred and seventy times, and they weren't deported, 34 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: they were briefly detained until they could demonstrate who they are. 35 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: That success rate is ninety nine point nine nine seven percent, 36 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: which takes you to today's La hysteria. We've got Fox 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: eleven reporter Mario Ramirez ice raid in the Fashion district yesterday. 38 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 4: This is one of downtown LA's busiest commercial areas. Of 39 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: many workers here now have fears about returning after federal 40 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 4: agents swarmed the area once again. 41 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: Take a look. You can see it here in this video. 42 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: Unmarked vehicles moving in pulling up near Maple Avenue on 43 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 4: Eleventh Street. Federal agents, some of them armed, standing in 44 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 4: the street as the operation unfolded around eleven am Thursday. 45 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 4: Witnesses the agents began asking vendors for proof of citizenship, 46 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 4: bystanders for recording the scene, some yelling and heckling agents 47 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 4: as tensions ran high. The fashion district, the major hub 48 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 4: for small minority owned businesses, is predominantly Latino, and for 49 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: some it brought back painful memories of a major immigration 50 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 4: rate here last June, where dozens were detained, one that 51 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 4: business owners say took months to recover from as customers 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 4: stayed away. And now there's fear this latest enforcement action 53 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 4: could drive even more people away. Meanwhile, La Mayor Karen 54 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: bass As she's deeply alarmed by what happened here. 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: This has just got to stop. 56 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 5: We're watching an escalation happen all over our country. What 57 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 5: happened to Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What happened right 58 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 5: here in Los Angeles to Keith Porter. The escalation from 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 5: the White House has become more and more frightening. 60 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: The mayor says this rate fits a pattern of escalated 61 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: federal enforcement aimed at intimidating immigrant communities, and she also 62 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 4: expressed concern about President Trump's threats to invoke the Insurrection Act, 63 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: which could bring military forces back to Los Angeles to 64 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: assist with these raids. Now, representatives for the La Fashion 65 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: District say businesses remain open and they continue to urge 66 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 4: the public to support the community. 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: Here again, the success rate is ninety nine point ninety 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: nine seven percent. Odds are every single person that ICE 69 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: captured in the Fashion District actually was an illegal alien. 70 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: You could scream about targeting and profiling and racial and 71 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: ethnic and discrimination, but it's probably one hundred percent hit 72 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: rate at the Fashion District yesterday. So, in other words, 73 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: they were doing their job, and they do it correctly 74 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: nearly every single time. Imagine that six hundred and sixty 75 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: thousand deportations and six one hundred and fifty nine, eight 76 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty times they got it right. They got 77 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: an illegal alien who needed to be deported. Boy, how 78 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: did that happen? They make it sound like they're just 79 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: rushing in and just grabbing random brown people, and you 80 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: have US citizens being buggled up and shipped to El 81 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: Salvador in prisons. No, and you hear other panelists on 82 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: saying it, they just had to laugh. And nobody's refuted this. 83 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: This This has been out now for a day, and 84 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: nobody said, oh, that's wrong, because it's not wrong. Let's 85 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: play as Karen bass clip. It's slightly longer than what 86 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: you heard on Fox. 87 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 6: The escalation from the White House has become more and 88 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 6: more frightening, the idea that you would terrorize the American public, 89 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 6: that Angelino still have to live in fear, never knowing 90 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 6: when and where Ice was going to show up. 91 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: I've been Angelina debor, you're an Angelina. I am Eric 92 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: Angelina raised. Yeah, I don't want to speak for you. Guys. 93 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: Do you live in fear? No, I don't live in fear, 94 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: live in perpetual fear of everything. That's why I stopped. 95 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: I caught myself. Of course, you live in fear, But 96 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: you don't think Ice is gonna be busting into your 97 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: kitchen and dragging you off. I know there's no reason 98 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: that that you should be dragged off, but not that 99 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: yes I should. Yeah, So I mean, who's she, Who's 100 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: she's speaking for here. Uh, you know who lives in fear. 101 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: The people in Palisades. They're afraid it's gonna be twenty 102 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: years before their homes are rebuilt, and they're afraid that 103 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: if there's another fire, what's left of the Palisades will 104 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: be gone because the reservoir is empty again. They're living 105 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: in fear. And she says that they're they're they're terrorizing people. Huh, 106 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: this was the new thing. And Gavin Newsom was one 107 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: of the early adopters of using the word terror terrorized terrorists. 108 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: I think he said it was state sponsored terrorism. Well 109 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: he's gone on Ben Well, naturally, is this Newsom's own podcast. 110 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: I didn't realize you still host this stupid thing. And 111 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: had Ben Shapiro on, who's a conservative commentator, and they 112 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: talked about state sponsored terrorism. Listen to Newsom. 113 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 7: One was a narrative that was immediately pushed by the 114 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 7: Trump administration and Secretary of Homeland Security Christino and that 115 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 7: she was a domestic terrorist who's attempting to run over 116 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 7: officers with her car and was legitimately trying not not 117 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 7: just this officer, but multiple officers. That was the original 118 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 7: statement I said at the time, I thought that was unrue, 119 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 7: and then your press office tweeted out that it was 120 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 7: state sponsored terrorism, which I mean, Governor, I have to 121 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 7: ask you about that, that that sort of thing makes 122 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 7: our politics worse, and it does, and our ice officers 123 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 7: obviously are not terrorists. A tragic situation is not state 124 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 7: sponsored terrorism. Y, that's fair. 125 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair. So Shapiro says, the tragic 126 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: situation is not state sponsored terrorism. 127 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 128 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: I think that's fair. Yeah, I think that's fair. Well, 129 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: here are the quotes from Gavin Newsom's own mouth. He 130 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: has called ICE agents quote secret police. He's compared their 131 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: tactics to quote the Gestapo. He's accused them of running 132 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: a terror campaign. He says that the Trump administration is 133 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: using American cities quote as training grounds for the United 134 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: States military. His Twitter account posted after the really good 135 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: incident state this is all on capital letters, state period, 136 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: sponsored period terrorism. That's his office account. His personal account 137 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: said for almost a year, Donald Trump's personal police force 138 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: has rampaged across America. His deliberate escalation of ntimidation and 139 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: chaos has consequences, state sponsored terrorism, capital letters, period after 140 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 2: each word, and then what did he say to Ben 141 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: Shapiro again that fair, well, play play go back. Took 142 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 2: back to what Shapiro says. 143 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 7: Your press office tweeted out that it was state sponsored terrorism, 144 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 7: which I mean, Governor, I have to ask you about that, 145 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 7: that that that sort of thing makes our politics worse, 146 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 7: and it does, and are our ice officers obviously are 147 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 7: not terrorists. A tragic situation is not state sponsored terrorism. 148 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair.

Do know why 157 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 9: they let it burn?

I 353 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: like the homeless guy who says, well, we have to 354 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: bear the brunt of mass capitalism. The hell are you 355 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: talking about. Go get a job, get off the drugs 356 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: and booze, and get to work. People who work are 357 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: not victims of mass capitalism. They participate in it and 358 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 2: they get their share. Maybe it's not a big share, 359 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: but it's enough, so they're not living like you in 360 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: your own waste.

Although 368 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: one guy named Jules said it doesn't seem like the 369 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 2: money is being spent wisely or people are being held accountable. 370 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: So he's picked up on Hey, it must be stolen. 371 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: There are billions of dollars in this state being stolen. 372 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 2: Every day.

I'd like to raise some concerns. 379 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: I don't think I have used that. You know, people 380 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: are raising concerns at work today. Nobody uses that phrase 381 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 2: except journalists. They get fall in love with these idiotic cliches. 382 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: With an hour of cruise leaving, some people had begun 383 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: to return, raising concerns among residents that the cleanup may 384 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: only offer temporary relief, said one resident. They're just gonna 385 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: move twenty feet away. Well, yeah, they're gonna move twenty 386 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 2: feet away. It's what some other person said. You've got 387 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: to make every sidewalk, every street, every park a no 388 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 2: camping zone, all of it, not these specialized zones within 389 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 2: X number of feet of a school. Everything has to do. 390 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: This has to be because other cities have this. In fact, 391 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: one almost guy said, you don't see this in Beverly Hills. 392 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: You don't see this in Beverly Hills. Westwood is adjacent 393 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: to Beverly Hills. You just drive a matter of seconds 394 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: and you enter a magical world where there are no 395 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 2: mental patients and vagrants living in the street. Katie Yarislavsky 396 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: is actually one of the few people who believe that 397 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 2: mental patients and dry acts have the right to live 398 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: in the street and leave all their waste and drug 399 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: paraphernalia and terrorized people with their bizarre behavior. Most people don't, 400 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: but all the people who do are in office. All 401 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 2: the people who do run the bureaucracy. We told you 402 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: before that there's this five year long lawsuit between civic 403 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: groups and the city and the city will not follow 404 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 2: through on its agreements to get the homeless off the 405 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 2: streets and provide shelter beds. They're arguing over whether a 406 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: bed is available even if it has a homeless person 407 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 2: in it. I'm not kidding. The city is in court 408 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: saying that even if there's a vagrant sleeping in one 409 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 2: of their shelter beds, that bed still could be considered available. 410 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 2: By the way, I went through the article three times 411 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: and none of this is explained. But that's what somebody 412 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: with some bureaucrat was testifying in court. I just astounded. 413 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 2: So why does Kiddy Yorslovsky continue to be a council person? 414 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 2: I And what they do is they have these cleanups, 415 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: and I saw them for a while in my neighborhood, 416 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: and eventually they were permanently removed. But you'd have these 417 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: cleanups and then hours later everybody would come marching back in. 418 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 10: What is it? 419 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: What are you all doing? And they think this is normal. 420 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 2: All these workers, all these bureaucrats, all these aid workers, 421 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 2: this is all normal to you. 422 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 10: Got it. 423 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: It's a good report. 424 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 7: Though. 425 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: Just walk a few feet to Beverly Hills. They just say, no, 426 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,719 Speaker 2: can't do that. Get up, move out of here. Go 427 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: We'll give you a bed. We'll give you a bed 428 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 2: that's actually available, and we will consider it unavailable while 429 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: you're lying in it.

I don't understand why 514 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: the public as a whole doesn't see it. Again, probably 515 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: because they're not paying attention. They don't know. But god, 516 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: if you can't see that they're looting billions of dollars 517 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean this fire tax. I'd love to 518 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,239 Speaker 2: side with the firefighters union on this, but seriously, if 519 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: they're blowing a billion dollars, stealing a billion dollars on 520 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: homelessness just for the city of La every year, stop that, 521 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: stop spending on it. Defer all the money to the 522 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: fire department, whatever they need, whatever they ask for. I'm 523 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: for the fire department getting more firefighters and equipment, everything, 524 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: but you can't tax people again and the homeless programs. 525 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: I told you I looked this up. In nineteen sixty five, 526 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: we spend zero money on homelessness. That did human nature 527 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 2: change that much? No, they put away drug addicts and 528 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: mental patients. They wouldn't allow them to lay on the 529 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: sidewalk and live. They'd have to go back to their hometown. 530 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 2: They'd have to go live out in the desert. They'd 531 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: have to get out of here. The only reason it's 532 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: here is because we allow and encourage, we enable, and 533 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: the people in charge, and the people in government, and 534 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: the people in the nonprofit industry are making bloody fortunes 535 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: on this. So cut the billion dollar homeless program and 536 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: give that money to the fire department. Why wouldn't you 537 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: do that? Because the homeless are doing nothing but starting 538 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 2: fires anyway, by the thousands and thousands. I gotta get 539 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: more into that. Next week. I gotta go find the 540 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: how many fires does do homeless people start in LA 541 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: that particular statistic.
