Well, first of all, we're live. I think they 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: did a best of yesterday, so we're back. 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: They found something they did and the day before and 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: the day before the day before. 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: Wow. And you know, the only story that got a 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: reaction from any emails was the monkey labor story. You 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: replayed that didn't Jerrick? Yes, I did, okay, the monkey 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: labor story. Yeah, I refresh my memory, Eric, what monkeys 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 2: have to pick coconuts or pick something for? Honestly, I 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: don't even remember what, because I got. 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: Some listeners were sending me messages asking me if I 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: am banning coconut milk. 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: From my diet. So that's why, because it was a 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: story and then you have to pick coconuts. God, I 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: don't remember that, dh. I remember that story. One of 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: us some sort of animal slave laborers that we had 24 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: fun with and I guess we mocked her because you 25 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: know it's not dairy, it's they're picking it to make 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: sort of no product. I see, we still have money 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: for you to win. The inflation compensation contest continues on KFI, 28 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: with a word to be revealed each hour of our show. 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: The first word at one twenty. I suppose of all 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 2: the things that have happened in the past couple of weeks, 31 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: and I wasn't here Thursday of Friday, either, we could 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: spend the entire show on the new homeless count. I 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: really believe we maybe we should. Disappointing discouraging of the 34 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 2: reaction from public officials. And my favorite, which I knew 35 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: and I found it in the first story I looked 36 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: at people are falling into homelessness faster than we can 37 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: keep up. 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: That's to justify their whole bureaucratic operation. 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: That's a complete failure. The failure of housing first is 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: so evident. So many people have so many dysfunctional problems 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: on the streets that this idea, if we just throw 42 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: them into a shelter, or we let them lie there 43 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: until we can build permanent housing, they'll be fine is nonsense. 44 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: That that's that's that's the issue. There isn't enough money 45 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: and there isn't enough time to build apartments for every 46 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: homeless person. There never will be because they're not falling 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: into homelessness. They're traveling here because we give them a 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: good deal. They're coming from all over the country every day. 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: Nobody's nobody's falling out of a window into homelessness. 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: Oh you missed a big report while you're on vacation 51 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: one of these nonprofits, and everybody picked it up and 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: ran with it that that is not true. Like ninety 53 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: percent of the people they interviewed fell into homelessness in California. 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: They did not come here. And they headlines were refute 55 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: long held belief that all the homeless are coming to 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 2: California from Mother's states, all of them. They're interview like 57 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 2: thousands of people who claim they're homeless, and that was 58 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: their response, that I was living here when it became homeless. 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: Oh right, And so. 60 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to mental patients and drug addicts 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: and assume they're telling the truth. 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because some of the addiction and alcohol numbers 63 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: I thought were low in terms of percentages of people. 64 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: I think that they did make stuff of course they're low. 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: They don't self report anything. They're insane. You see a 66 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: guy running around with a machete, you think he's going 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: to tell you what drug he's on accurately or where 68 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: he's from. 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: He doesn't even know who he is. And the incentive 70 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: might be to say, well, of course, I'm from California, 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: because you don't want to take a chance you could 72 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: lose some kind of benefits by saying, ay, I just 73 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: jumped in here a month ago. 74 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: There's nobody in the media out here telling the truth. 75 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: They're not, and so there's all kinds of bogus, fake, 76 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: distorted reports. In order to keep the machine going, they 77 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: need the public relations aspect to try to to try 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: to strengthen their support for these multi billion dollar programs. 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: They fail that. All they can do is have the 80 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: La Times gin up some stupid phony survey and use 81 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: it to refute right, because they don't want to lose 82 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: their money. They don't want to lose public support. They 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: lose public support, they lose their money. They're all out 84 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: of work. If you don't realize this is a huge, 85 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: long running con, I don't know what to tell you. 86 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: You're just a naive dope. I'm looking at the chart 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: that appeared in the Elsagundo Times last week. Again, this 88 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: count was done in January, So you can't totally blame 89 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: Mayor Bessetti for not getting people off the street because 90 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: this count, if you believe in it, was done before 91 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: her inside Safe crap started up. She became mayor in December. 92 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: But you look at twenty fifteen, the count was twenty 93 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: five thousand. Twenty twenty three, the count is now well 94 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: over the number of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles 95 00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: County is now approaching seventy five thousand. So I'm sorry. 96 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: The count in twenty fifteen was actually closer to forty thousand, 97 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: but now we're approaching seventy five thousand. And I say, 98 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: once again, what happened in twenty fourteen? That ugly Proposition 99 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: forty seven that's it, and that in Garcetti being mayor 100 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: are two big reasons. Because most of the homeless, by 101 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: the way, are in La City. 102 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah it is no, it's Garcetti because he completely stopped 103 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: enforcing all the laws that would slow down the hopelessness, 104 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: and that Prop fifty forty seven and fifty seven the 105 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: single worst proposition ever passed in any state, in any 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: country ever, because it let people out of jail and 107 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: it kept them from going to jail, especially over drug issues. 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: Well then, so now you have drug addicts stacked up 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: in the streets. Of course, you would. 110 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: Prop forty seven took away the felony for drug use 111 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: that they could hold over your head to say, look, 112 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna get into treatment. 113 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: Are're gonna go into jail. Without that, they'll just like 114 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: walk out the door and say see you another time. 115 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: You imagine this. You have a guy committing drug crimes. 116 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: You got three choices. You send him to jail, you 117 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: send him to I'm gonnat even call it rehab treatment, 118 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: or he goes free back into the street. We chose 119 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: door number three. He goes back in the street. And 120 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: then eight years later it's like, oh, where all these 121 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: drug addicts come from? What a stupid society we are 122 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: here in LA Honestly, we're just a stupid, stupid population. 123 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: Of course we have drug addicts piled up in the 124 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: streets because you have to either put them in jail 125 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: or force him into treatment. 126 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: Huh, what do you think you got? 127 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: I mean, is there another way to interpret this? I mean, 128 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: you do too many stupid things for too many years. 129 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: You destroy San Francisco did the same thing. You just 130 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: destroy your city. 131 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: And of course LA led the country, and people living 132 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: outdoors by far in New York City, by the way, 133 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: had to jump in their homeless population. That number also 134 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 2: just came out, but they did shelter some of them 135 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: in some type of place. 136 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and where do you think all the people who 137 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: were living cold and wet climates where they come to 138 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: be homeless and do their drugs here? Because we don't prosecute. 139 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: We don't prosecute for drugs, We don't prosecute for urinating 140 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: and defcating in the street. Anybody tells you otherwise, they're lying. 141 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: They want to keep the money flowing. They already suckered 142 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: billions out of everyone. They want to keep suckering billions. 143 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: They make good money. 144 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: The thing that jumped out and we'll be talking about 145 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: this in more detail next hour with CAFI News reporter 146 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: Blake Trolley. The biggest jumps, if you believe this homeless count, 147 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: were actually on the West Side and in the Harbor area. 148 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: That's where they found the biggest jump in the number 149 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: of homeless people and I still remember that story when 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: they did account a couple of years ago that they 151 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: audited a tract in Venice which was reported by the 152 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: homeless counters as a zero and they sold like twenty 153 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: five people instantly, and everyone was like, hum hmm. Yeah, 154 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure about how they count the homeless. 155 00:07:59,320 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: That's the thing. 156 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: The increase probably isn't really that big an increase. It's 157 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: just that they purposely didn't count a lot of homeless 158 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: that were there the year before because there were a 159 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: number of zeros and they were all in Bonnin's district, 160 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: and that was that was engineered. I'm sure by Bonnin. 161 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: I can't prove it, but I'm absolutely certain that Bonnen 162 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: engineered just the way they engineered that the recall would fail. 163 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: I think we have a dishonest, corrupt government, and I 164 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: think Bonnen was a big part of it. And so 165 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: this year with him or down with. 166 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 4: The he is. 167 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: She only took over at Tracy Park in December, and 168 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: then she's been working with Karen Bass to move some 169 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: of those vagrants out on the West Side. The number 170 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: next year might be better there, yeah, it might be, 171 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: but I don't think we really had that big an increase. 172 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: It's just they didn't count the homeless entirely of the 173 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: year before, and that's because Bonnen was trying to I 174 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: think he was trying to artificially deflate the number before 175 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: the next election, not knowing that he wasn't going to 176 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 2: be run in the next election. All Right, we got 177 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: more coming up, including your chance to win some money. 178 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: The CAFI Inflation Compensation contest is coming up next.

Again, that count was conducted in January 192 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: and by the way, the county count as high as 193 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: it was, does not include Glendale and Long Beach and Pasadena. 194 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 2: They do their own counts, and having been to Long 195 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 2: Beach a few times this past year, there's a few 196 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 2: homeless people there. They're getting off that metro train, right. Yeah, 197 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 2: So it's not even seventy five thousand, not no, for 198 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: a county of ten million. There's even more than that 199 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: if you include those And I don't know what their 200 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: counts were. I didn't see their numbers, but they're not 201 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 2: included in that seventy five thousand figures. So we'll talk 202 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: more about this next hour here on KFI. A couple 203 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: of stories stand out from July fourth, and the first one, 204 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just have a feeling it's another 205 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: issue that would divide America the way you know, the 206 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: whole red versus Blue thing. I'm just guessing, John, I 207 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: don't know this. It's the fact that in a number 208 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: of places around the country, fireworks shows were replaced by drones. 209 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: And I'll just drop it there. This is the climate fanaticism. 210 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: They're going to destroy everything you enjoy. There is having 211 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: a night of fireworks does not impact the climate. That 212 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: is hysterical nonsense. I don't know what else to say. 213 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they uh, they talk to Boulder, Colorado, where they 214 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 2: have switched to drones. The shift from traditional fireworks to 215 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: drones was not an easy decision and based on a 216 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: number of factors, including increased fire danger fueled by climate change. 217 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: Said city official. Oh yes, well, the show is going 218 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: to be different. It promises to be a fantastic show 219 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: that aligns with Oh here it is with our Sustainability, 220 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: Equity and Resilience Framework Equity squity RF. It's their surf. 221 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: Wait Sustainability, Equity and Resilience frames. 222 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, fireworks are unfair. That is gibberish. They're unbalanced. See. 223 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: You know what this has become such a religion is 224 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: these bureaucrats are are speaking in tongues that doesn't Those 225 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: words don't mean anything. 226 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: What is the definition of that? What if I make? 227 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 5: It? 228 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: Makes no sense? Is it better? Though? For like the 229 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: dogs whose ears don't explode from all the. 230 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: Fireworks that you know what?

All right, Sorry, we're in charge here. 232 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 2: More than ten thousand people were treated in emergency rooms 233 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: from injuries from fireworks last year. Eleven Times. But I 234 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: doubt that was from fireworks shows. You see, that's a 235 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: little decessive. That's your idiots setting off their own fireworks 236 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: in the. 237 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: Street, right And those people aren't gonna stop setting off 238 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: the fireworks. 239 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: Oh that's Darwin right now that they they deserve it. 240 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Anybody blows his hand off with his own fireworks, sorry 241 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: about that. 242 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: And the Washington Times does add this to that the 243 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: Commission's annual report does not call it does not include, 244 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 2: and does not include any real injuries from rockets that 245 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,479 Speaker 2: dominate professional municipal displays. Those people with their own firecrackers 246 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: and sparklers. That and I think somebody I saw the 247 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: headline blew off part of his hand during yesterday's summer 248 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 2: that's his fault. 249 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: But going back to the drones, anybody seen one of 250 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: these drone shows? Are they any good? 251 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 5: What? 252 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: I saw something on TV? But not it didn't really. 253 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: I think you have to be in person. Well, they 254 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: kind of move all around the guy in patterns and such, 255 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: in colorful patterns, fireworks. 256 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: Lasers, there's lights attached. I know they fly drones. 257 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 5: John, there's lights attached to the drones that change colors. 258 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: Maybe they shoot lasers I saw some places were doing 259 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: laser shows. 260 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 2: Some yow right, Well have you seen this Eric?

Yeah, 263 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 5: but does this work on. 264 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: A large scale? 265 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 5: We do it? Oh, yeah, sure, some some are actually 266 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 5: very fascinating. The drones will all be coordinated and we'll 267 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 5: all move at the same time. 268 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: Do they make booms. They don't make booms, but they'll 269 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: make shapes. And there's no boom. I want boom. 270 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no big I want the big explosion. Yes, 271 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 5: that is the appeal of fire. 272 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: That's what's cool. 273 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: Now when they go off at three thirty in the 274 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: morning last night. I'm not kidding, fireworks up until at 275 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: least three. 276 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: Thirty thirty day a year. 277 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 6: You know. 278 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: I don't like it either, but I don't care anymore. 279 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: I have this. 280 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: My house was going to burn down, and my poor 281 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: fire country exactly. 282 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Oh, your dogs were freaking out. 283 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 3: They weren't freaking out, they weren't happy. I felt bad 284 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 3: for them, but I felt worse for me because I 285 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: got no sleep. 286 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: Oh I didn't hear anything. Lucky you, I mean, there 287 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: were plenty in the neighborhood. In fact, there's one bozo 288 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: on my block really closed to our house that was 289 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: shooting them off. 290 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: Can't you love these fifty year old people that want 291 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: to be thirteen again? It'sulous. Being fifty isn't fun for 292 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: a lot of people. I had a great night last night. 293 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: What did you do? I was shooting off fireworks. Oh 294 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: there you go. He's closer to thirteen than fifty. 295 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 5: I was, Yes, Actually I don't know about that. 296 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: Here's the other thing. Though drones shows are expensive, A 297 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: big one can cost several hundred thousand dollars in a 298 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: fireworks show can only cost seven peoples. 299 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,359 Speaker 1: It's just I object to the reason for it. There's 300 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: no harm to the environment they're so full of. I mean, 301 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: did they say a prayer before for the climate before 302 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: they started the drone show? They congratulate themselves that they 303 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: sell it that they saved one trillionth of a tenth 304 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: of a millionth of a degree. 305 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: The other fourth of July story is in your face. 306 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: Else going to Times and the rest of you with 307 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: your drought forecasts. Believe it or not, there was a 308 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: ton of skiers at Lake Tahoe yesterday. The Tahoe ski 309 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: season included plenty of snow for July fourth. Now, they 310 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: predicted this months ago and we had the big rainfall 311 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: and snowfall. They said people might be skiing in the summer. 312 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: There you go, and they were yesterday the entire July 313 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: fourth weekend at that Tahoe. So how about that. 314 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: I tell you, I think we won the climate change lottery. 315 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: If this is permanent, this is great because the weather 316 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: has been just so much cooler the first half of 317 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: the year here. 318 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: Typically the resort sees four hundred inches of snow per year. 319 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: This year it was seven hundred and twenty three inches. 320 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: And people have been coming from all over the world 321 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: because obviously this is a big story. And for people 322 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: who enjoy skiing, I mean, what if you're part of 323 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: Europe right now there's just no skiing this time of year. 324 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: They made their way to California to Tahoe to enjoy 325 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: ski season. All right. 326 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: When we come back, well, along with wrapping up their 327 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: phony budget and Sacramento and going home for the summer, 328 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: the legislators and the governor got the final California Reparations report. 329 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: Reparations is back. We have some audio to play, which 330 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: is hard to believe.

All that's coming up on the show. 350 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 2: With the close of the fiscal year in California, June thirtieth, 351 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: they did their dopey budget dance. Also, the California Reparations 352 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 2: Task Force delivered its final report to Governor Newsom and 353 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: the Legislature, where hopefully it'll just be put on a 354 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: shelf and never looked at again. A poll they took 355 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: in June showed that sixty five percent were against big 356 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 2: cash payments for the descendants of slaves in the state. 357 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: Support for a formal apology, well that was at fifty 358 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: seven percent. Yes, we'll apologize, but we're liket thousands or 359 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: millions of dollars to people. The man behind this task 360 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: force his state Senator Stephen Bradford. He's kind of been 361 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 2: the goal between and the legislature and the task force. 362 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: The same guy who doesn't want to prosecute sentinel dealers 363 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: who kill your kids. 364 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: He said, this is not the end of this work. 365 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 2: It's just the beginning. Now it's up to the legislature, 366 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: which I'm a part of, and the governor to implement it. 367 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: And the last time we checked in with Newsom, he 368 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: was saying things like, this is not so much about 369 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 2: cash payment. 370 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: No, I. 371 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: Can't run for president on this. That's what he's saying. 372 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 2: Oh well, the new swing here is that he's just 373 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: a team player. He's not running for president. He's just 374 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: a big Biden supporter and he's out there also campaigning. 375 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 2: He has a device and it transmits Biden's pulse minute 376 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: by minute, so he every day he's looking down at 377 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 2: his at his iPad, look. 378 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: At the indeck circle. Is that he's ready? Oh you kidding? 379 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: When when Biden goes fading close to home plate, right 380 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: behind Biden, he's but it's the second Biden is face down. 381 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: Newsom will be behind a podium announcing that he's running 382 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: to unify the country to save the Democratic Party. 383 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: The task Force had a final public hearing the other day. 384 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: You can imagine who packed the auditorium Supporters of reparations money, 385 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: and it got kind of raucous. One guy in the 386 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: crowd is encouraging people to raise their fist and chant 387 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 2: their desires for restitution more chance. We have a piece 388 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: of audio from another guy who compared it to some 389 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: sort of a divorce type of settlement. Let's listen in 390 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 2: a miracle from the evidence that they gave us. You're guilty. 391 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: We are sixteen nineteen. We was eating food food. You 392 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 2: kidnapped us, put a hate crime on us. That was 393 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: the first one. Now you came here with all the 394 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: other atrocities. 395 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: When you brought us here, you raped our men, women 396 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: and kids. 397 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: So therefore you married us. Don't treat us like no 398 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: cheap piece of meat. So therefore our last name is 399 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 2: Americ Tan. So now is the time for a divorce. 400 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: What do you get a divorce? You get half the money, 401 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: half the land, alimony, child support, attorney fees, and everything else. 402 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 2: So that's what we won't. I've never heard that comparison 403 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: before a divorce where they get half the money, half 404 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: the accumulated wealth for the us, I suppose, and slavery 405 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: began all you you you stuff. I'm sorry I wasn't here. 406 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: So that's what we won't. 407 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: I don't know you anything. I don't care what you want. 408 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: You're game anything not for me. I wasn't here. Go 409 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: fight somebody who is here? Take it up to them. 410 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: Was Reggie Romayne. I'd see him in the story. What 411 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: does he do for a living? I go to work. 412 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: I don't have time to go to these Oh that's 413 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: what he said in sixteen nineteen, we was eating full food. 414 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: I thought he said, fo Fu fool food. 415 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: He said he wasn't eating full food in sixteen nineteen 416 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: because he wasn't here either. 417 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: Now we weren't here, he wasn't here. 418 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: This is total nonsense, Like everything these days, complete utter nonsense, 419 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: not even worth discussing or debating. All right, none of 420 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: the slaves are here anymore, none of the slave owners 421 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: are here. 422 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: Nobody was even. Nobody was even in. 423 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: California other than the natives in sixteen nineteen, and when 424 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: they finally put together statehood in a constitution, slavery was 425 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: immediately banned. It was never legal for a day in 426 00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: the state of California. 427 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: But the claim is it was tacitly allowed. I don't 428 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: think you came here with the slave nobody bothered you 429 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 2: then go after those who tacitly allowed it. They're not 430 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 2: here either. 431 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm probably not I'm not responsible for what went on 432 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: in eighteen fifty. 433 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: You're not. 434 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: Nobody listening is and nobody who wants reparations was here 435 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: any either. So stop it. You're not getting it. It's 436 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. 437 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: So the other key point guy on this is Reggie 438 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: Jones Sawyer, the assemblyman from Los Angeles he and Bradford 439 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: want to get as much done before they turn out 440 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: of office next year. They're gonna get nothing done that 441 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: could require Newsom to sign or veto a reparations proposal 442 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: before the presidential election. You know what, of course, well 443 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: know by then whether or not Newsom's a candidate. First 444 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: of all, Reggie Jones Sawyer is another one who will 445 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 2: not prosecute fentanel dealers who kill your kids. The Safety 446 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: Committee Bay So the two of them, two of them 447 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 2: are nuts. 448 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: And secondly, if I don't know if they're sincere or 449 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: they're just performing, I'm starting to believe that most people 450 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: in public life are now just performing and they're doing 451 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: an act. If they're really sincere, then they were completely 452 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: conned by that snake Newsom. 453 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: Newsom. 454 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: There is zero chance Newsom has given reparations money while 455 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: he's running for president. 456 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 2: Impossible. Yeah, that wouldn't go over well in many of 457 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: the states. No, it didn't go over well in California 458 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: according to this point. 459 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: No, it's impossible for anyone to run for president having 460 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: just signed a multi billion dollar reparations bill. That it's 461 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: especially when most of the state is against it. 462 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: All right, that's just impossible. So I think they're performing. 463 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: So this task force was added for a couple of years, 464 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: which means they really micro manage this. They recommend thirteen thousand, 465 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: six hundred and nineteen dollars for each year of residency 466 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: in California, a figure derived by comparing the life expectancy 467 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: between black non Hispanic and white non Hispanic California. 468 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: Did they have a formula now, really, they apparently had 469 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: an objective formula to pull up. 470 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: Thirteen six hundred and nineteen is a very exact number. 471 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Yes, you know what, I think it should be more 472 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: like seventeen one hundred and fifteen. I mean, that's just 473 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: my calculation, my formula. Oh, anybody can pull a number 474 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: out of their rear end and say it's justified. 475 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: Get out of here. The other part of this, which 476 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: came up later when we were looking at this story, 477 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 2: was not just so much about slavery. It was also 478 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 2: about the drug war. We were just talking about those 479 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: two members of the legislature who don't want to increase 480 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: penalties for fedel dealing to compensate for mass incarceration and 481 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: over policing. They recommended two thousand, three hundred and fifty 482 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 2: two dollars for each year of presidency. I've got one 483 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: during the War on Drugs, which was nineteen seventy one 484 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty if. 485 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: You wanted to know exactly, and the War on drug years, 486 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: you know what, I think the real sharp move would 487 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: have been while they had tough penalties for drug crimes 488 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: back thirty years ago, you should have not had anything 489 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: to do with drugs. You shouldn't have possessed it, sold it, 490 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: snorted it, smoked it. 491 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: Whatever. Whatever the laws were, they ended up with you 492 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: going to prison. You shouldn't have done it. 493 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: So don't come crying now thirty years later that life 494 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: isn't fair. 495 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 2: I didn't get. 496 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: Thrown in prison. You didn't get thrown in prison because 497 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: we didn't do drugs. We didn't sell drugs. 498 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: There was housing discrimination money too.

That's fine to do one at a time, 585 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: she added, so she wasn't happy about the crowd, so 586 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: that that's un her button. The only thing he's good 587 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: at is selling access to his father to foreign nationals. 588 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: That's that's just talenting life. The latest update in the 589 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 2: story is White House cocaine culprit is unlikely to be found. 590 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: According to a law enforce. Did they have surveillance cameras 591 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 2: or maybe they don't have you think, I don't know. 592 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: It was a highly trafficked area of the West Wing 593 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: where they found this. A cubby area for storing electronics 594 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: within the West Executive Basement entryway into the West Wing 595 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: where many people have access, staff visit area. So this 596 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: so whoever did this, this was their They thought it 597 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 2: was funny. Yeah, they thought it would be funny. I mean, 598 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 2: imagine if you took a White House tour and you're 599 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: an idiot prankster and you actually use drugs, you might 600 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: think that would be funny. But what if I drop 601 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: off a baggy of cocaine in the White House. I'll 602 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: stick it somewhere A, let's see if I find it, 603 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,479 Speaker 2: and b let's see the frenzy after they find it. 604 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: I guess that's possible. Although if I was going to 605 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: bet a dollar, I'd bet on Hunter. 606 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 2: Uh, it's possible, though he's not. He's dumb enough to me. 607 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: He's something like that. He's more than his father, which 608 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: is saying a lot. Apparently, Joe would not answer a 609 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: question shouted at Today, who was meeting with the Swedish 610 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: Prime minister, But the White House spokeshole just said, let's 611 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 2: let the Secret Service do their job, which we believe 612 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: and have all the confidence they'll get to the bottom 613 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 2: of this episode. 614 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: Now, if it really was Hunter Biden, what are the 615 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: odds we ever hear about. 616 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 2: This story again?

So far, 669 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 6: during this Fourth of July week, the union has focused 670 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 6: on downtown at Santa Monica hotels. 671 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 4: You know. 672 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: And I hear that report a couple of people commenting, well, 673 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: then why didn't you work at a hotel in the 674 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: Inland Empire if that's where you live. 675 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: And I actually have an idea. I think all the 676 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 2: homeless that they're just didn't account they should go to 677 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 2: work in these hotels if they want to live in there, 678 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: because they've been putting them in there. 679 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: If I was the dictator, yeah, that's what I do. 680 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: I tell this crowd striking, it's like you're compleat. We're 681 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: were supposed to subsidize your long commute. Go get a 682 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: job near your house. How about that? I bet you 683 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: there's plenty of jobs right. They couldn't find housing near 684 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: their job. So if they found housing, now they have 685 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: to find a job near their housing if it's too 686 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: much to commute. They make between fifteen and twenty dollars 687 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: an hour, but they want to jump to at least 688 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: twenty five an hour and then a couple of dollars. 689 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: But for all these years, it was good enough, wasn't it. 690 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: They were driving all these years. 691 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 2: At fifteen twenty dollars a Well, they're saying that inflation 692 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 2: is really just uh huh, it's ripped off everyth Who 693 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 2: did they vote for? 694 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: They voted for the guy who created the inflation. So 695 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: that's that's the tax they have to pay now for 696 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: voting badly. 697 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 2: So now they can't they can't afford to live. They 698 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 2: can't afford to a boy these pits. That's a great idea, though, 699 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: Fire all these people. Tell them to go get a 700 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 2: job by their house, and then take all the homeless 701 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: off the streets and put a uniform on them and 702 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 2: say hey, you there, you're the bellman. The hotels are 703 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 2: going to try to continue operations with just getting fill 704 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 2: in and management and administrative people doing some of the work. 705 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 2: That's what I've been reading. So a lot of the 706 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 2: hotels are not actually closed, they're just being picketed, all right. 707 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 2: When we come back. Last week, the big homeless count 708 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 2: came out for Los Angeles County and of course Los 709 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 2: Angeles City, and some of the biggest increases were in 710 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 2: on the West Side.
