The La 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: County Blue Ribbon Commission on Homelessness has recommended the creation 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: of an Executive Committee on Homelessness. This is according to 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Susan Shelley. She is an opinion editorial writer with the 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: Southern California News Group, which includes papers like The Orange 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: County Register, in, the Los Angeles Daily News, and The 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: Riverside Press Enterprise.

Well, 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: this is what she told us on Twitter on X today. 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: Let's get Susan on. 33 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: John. It's great to be with you. 34 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: Are you this read? Do you write comedy? I mean 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: this is red. 36 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: It writes itself. You can't get out of its way, 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: rights itself. You can't make this stuff up. 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 4: I got a. 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: Press release from Supervisor Catherine Barger's office, and this is 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: what it says. She issued statement launch a bouyeal Executive 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: Committee for Regional homeless Alignment. Well that's what we need. 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: We need alignment of all the things. When you buy 43 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: a homeless encampment. When you're walking on the sidewalk and 44 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: there's human poop on the street, the first thing you 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: think is we need alignment. And that's what this is 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: just a third, this is actual, to tell you the truth, 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: what this is about is getting passed the next election. 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: All commissions, all Blue Ribbon task forces, they're always about 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: getting somebody passed the next election. So this was created 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: in July twenty twenty one, this Blue Ribbon Commission, and 51 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: they issued their report funny enough in twenty twenty two 52 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: just before the primary, isn't that convenient? And then they 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: went ahead and they did nothing with the report until now. 54 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: Because it's twenty twenty four. Catherine Berger is on the ballot, 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: and Holly Mitchell is on the ballot, and Janis Hahn 56 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: is on the ballot, and what's the first thing people 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: are asking? Why aren't you doing anything about homelessness? So 58 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: now or then a year later they announced that they've 59 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: got this inaugural Executive Committee, which is recommendation number seven 60 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: of seven from the Blue Ribbon Panel. I looked it up. 61 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: Many of the rest are try to make what we 62 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: already have work, and what we already have is the 63 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: we have a commission overseeing the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: Now that's a ten member commission, but that wasn't doing 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: a good job. So then we had a Blue Ribbon 66 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: commission to oversee the loss of commission, and now we're 67 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: going to have an executive committee to oversee all of it. 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: I know who's only committee. 69 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: And on all of these committees, commissions, it's all the 70 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: same people. 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: It's all the same people. The new executive committee has 72 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: Lindsay Horvath on it. She's a county supervisor. She doesn't 73 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: really need to be on a commission. She could just 74 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: do stuff from her job. That would be That would 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: so cold, Catherine Barker. They could just do stuff, but no, 76 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 2: so who else is on the committee? The Mayor of 77 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Karen Bath is on the committee. She could 78 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: also just do stuff, but no, what we're gonna do 79 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: is we're gonna have another commission to oversee the commission 80 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: to oversee the commission, and then we're gonna have a 81 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: committee to review the reports of the commission. Doesn't Mark Brothers. 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 5: This is great? 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: It does? 84 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: It does sound like a Marx Brother's routine. And of 85 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: course homelessness is just exploding everywhere. And wait, what do 86 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: you know what they do during all these commission meetings 87 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: and Executive committee meetings, what do they do? 88 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: What do they talk about? 89 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: They I'll tell you what they're talking about. They're talking 90 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: about raising your taxes. Now that's not funny, excellent. Well, 91 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: you remember Measure H. It was going to be temporary. 92 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: Remember how that was a temporary tax ten years a 93 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: quarter set sales tax, and that was going to be 94 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: for homelessness services, and that was going to fix everything. 95 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: Well it's expiring in twenty twenty seven, and they're very 96 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: concerned because now they only have two elections in which 97 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: to raise your taxes before the money train stops. And 98 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: so what they're looking at doing is raising the sales 99 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: tax again. They have already gotten authorization a law that 100 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom signed in October that will allow an additional 101 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: half cent over what you're already paying in La County. 102 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: So some places will go to ten and ten and 103 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: three quarters. 104 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: Percent ten and three quarters. 105 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: Well, some cities are already at ten and a quarter 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: and this would allow ten and three quarters. And what's 107 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: going to go for. It's going to go for homelessness 108 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: services again, and that's what's going on. So sometime this 109 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: summer you're going to see an obscure memo about an 110 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: agenda item in the County Board of Supervisors where they're 111 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: either going to have something that's being put on the 112 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: ballot or there's going to be some petition that's out 113 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: circulating for something that'll be on the ballot, and they're 114 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 2: going to decide how much they want to ask for 115 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: and how they want to persuade people to vote for it. 116 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 2: That's going to be on the November ballot. 117 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: Another tax increase for homelessness. Homelessness has exploded since Measure 118 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: H passed. That was seven years ago. 119 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: It passed m and it's all worse. And in the 120 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: City of Los Angeles, Measure HHH was supposed to fix homelessness. 121 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 2: They were supposed to build ten thousand units of housing 122 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: and that didn't work out. New well, eight hundred thousand 123 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: dollars per unit. It doesn't last very long. 124 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: It must be up to a million dollars by now. 125 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 2: It probably is to have tax increases. That's what they want. 126 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: Do they know how ineffective all this is? Do they care. 127 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: Committee to oversee the commission to oversee the commission. That's 128 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: the solution, John. You need another committee to oversee the commission, 129 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 2: and then you need somebody to review the reports. 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: How can they don't know that this is all a 131 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: huge racket. 132 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, all these nonprofits that get all these millions 133 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: and billions of dollars, it all gets squandered. That everybody 134 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: enriches themselves that runs the nonprofit, and they don't actually 135 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: get anyone off the street. Nobody's life gets better. 136 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: Exactly right. And that's because they spend the money on 137 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: big salaries for people to push paper across the desk 138 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: and write reports. And that's that's how this is happening. 139 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: If you really want to fix homelessness, the first thing 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: you do is you have to build emergency shelters and 141 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: long term shelters to get people off the street right now. 142 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: And then you have to repeal the Housing First law, 143 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: which prohibits these nonprofits from giving these apartments which are scarce. 144 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: There are not going to be enough. They can't give 145 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: them just to people who are ready to get well 146 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: or who are getting their lives together, who are just 147 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: in homelessness because of a poverty situation or domestic violence. 148 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: They have to, and they have to ignore all those conditions, 149 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: and even if someone is still using hard drugs, they 150 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: cannot be rejected as an applicant for this free housing. 151 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: We have to fix that and then we have to 152 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: jump it. 153 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: And these progressive ideas are so stupid, which makes me 154 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: think they're not that stupid. 155 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: They're all just a bunch of crooks. It's one of 156 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: the two. 157 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: Either they're too stupid to stand up or they're they're 158 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: just incredible crooks. 159 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: If you look at the salaries in the Los Angeles 160 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: Housing Services Authority, if you go to Transparent California or 161 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: one of the other sites that does this public information, 162 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: you look at those six figure salaries for directors and 163 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: administrators and officers and everybody except people who are actually 164 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: helping somebody. It's all just a bunch of crooks, just 165 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: being on taxpayer dollars. 166 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: What do they do all day? Like, how do they 167 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: spend their days? That's just nothing. 168 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: Nothing. They have reports and they report to the commissions. 169 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: Now that there's more commissions, it takes even longer, so 170 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: they're going to need more people to do the reports 171 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: for the commissions. This is what they did. It's compliance 172 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: and paperwork and nonsense. They're spending billions of taxpayer dollars. 173 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: There's no accountability, there's no results report. You can't get 174 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: any data on how many people were helped because nobody 175 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: was helped. 176 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: Susan Shelley, who writes for the Southern California News Group. 177 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: There's papers in all the Southern California counties, including the 178 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: LA Daily News and the Orange County Register.

Yeah, because it starts with 185 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: the bolt problem. But there's another Boeing plane that got 186 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: into trouble in the last day. That's all ahead.

They 199 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: they threw him out. The door plug opening can you imagine, 200 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: went down the chute ed Clark. He was in charge 201 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,479 Speaker 1: of the program that includes the Max nine. He's leaving immediately. 202 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: According to the press release, they are overhauling their quality 203 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: control process, more inspections at the factory rent in Washington. 204 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: That's where Clark oversaw the Max production. But he didn't 205 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: he didn't oversee it very closely. He's uh, he's the 206 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: first head to roll after that door plug blew out 207 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: because they forgot to put the bolts on, left the 208 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: big hole on the side of the plane. Alaska Airlines, 209 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: Now this guy had taken over the Max program in 210 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one out. 211 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: After the two fatal crashes. 212 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 6: I was gonna say, it's taken a long time for. 213 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 7: Him to uh, yeah, no longer work there. 214 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been he's been there for almost three years. 215 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: But he wasn't even running the operation when those two 216 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: planes fell out of the sky overseas. The the the end, 217 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: there have been five, five different people running the program 218 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: in three years. 219 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 7: Oh so he was not part of the Oh okay, 220 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 7: I was going to say that. Okay, so he's not 221 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 7: being blamed. 222 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: For No, he's been blamed for everything that happened since 223 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: those crash, right, yeah, because they they crashed in twenty 224 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty nineteen, the MAX planes were pulled. They 225 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: started production again, back in service in late twenty twenty, 226 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: and it was the next year that Clark took over 227 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: and he was the fifth person to hold that title 228 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: in three years. In case you wonder why the planes 229 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: are flowing falling out of the sky and the Dorp 230 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: flags are flying out. Five heads of production there, they 231 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: have put two women in charge. Katie Ringold is now 232 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: taking over the Max program and Elizabeth one is taking 233 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: over quality control across all of Boeing's commercial airplane systems. 234 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: And they've they've given up on the guys. 235 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: Good. 236 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 6: You know, we did that story about brains, right. 237 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, So let's see, let's see what happens with the charge. 238 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I hope we have. 239 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: Two women who have that obsessive, compulsive, detail oriented as attitude. 240 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: Here. 241 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: Just two weeks ago they found that one of their 242 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: suppliers had incorrectly drilled holes on Max planes and that's 243 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: going to delay delivery of about fifty new Max planes. 244 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: Oh wow, they have problems piling up on top of 245 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: one another here. And then yesterday you probably saw. This 246 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: was a Boeing seven to fifty seven two hundred, not 247 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: a MAX plane. It was going from San Francisco to 248 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: Boston when a guy named Kevin Clark looked out the 249 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: window and it looked as if the right wing was 250 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: starting to shred. 251 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, nobody noticed that before the plane took off. 252 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: And that was a pretty significant tear in the plane 253 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: fuselage between the wing and the main the main structure. 254 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: He took video of it, and they had to make 255 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: an emergency landing. I guess you tell the flight attendant. 256 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: She goes up to the pilot, pilot comes down, looks 257 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: out the window, go we. 258 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 6: Have a problem. 259 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: That's supposed to be that way. 260 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: He said, it came apart when we took off in 261 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco, and uh, he said, I can't wait for 262 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: this flight to be over. I guess he was, you know, 263 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: sending out videos online. They've got another plane waiting for us. 264 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: Clark said, there was this incredibly loud vibration just as 265 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: the wheels went up. 266 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 6: I would die. 267 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: It was like, what was that? Let's throw the wing 268 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: being torn off? Why? 269 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 7: And we should be laughing because we would be crying. 270 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 7: I'd be crying if I was on that plane. 271 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: Oh, you probably would have jumped. You got to bring 272 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: your own parachute. 273 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 6: No, I'd be afraid to do that too. 274 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: There's so what I said as a joke actually was true. 275 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: They told the flight attendant and the pilot walked into 276 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: the cabin forty five minutes later. All right, he saw 277 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: the wing start to tear off as soon as the 278 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: wheels went up, but the pilot didn't make it back 279 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: to look at it for forty five minutes, and Clark said, 280 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: he goes behind me and I was kind of sleepy. 281 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 3: I wasn't paying much attention. 282 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: Then he goes back to the cockpit and comes on 283 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: the PA and says, we've discovered some damage to one 284 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: of the front flaps. We're going to divert to Denver 285 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: and put you on a different plane. This is not 286 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: this is another Boeing plane. Yes, what could they fire 287 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: somebody else? 288 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 6: I was going to say, is this the only person. 289 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: That's I don't I don't know. I mean, there's a 290 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: longer story. I think they're moving a lot of people around. 291 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: But you know, everybody's got to just get up every 292 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: day and pay attention. Whatever your job is, you have 293 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: to pay attention. 294 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 7: Can you imagine what I can't even imagine if we 295 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 7: made certain mistakes like that that we would have our jobs. 296 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 6: Although we're we're not building planes. 297 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Here, no, I know, but most places are not run 298 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: this badly. I mean, this is among the most important 299 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: jobs you can have putting a plane together, right, because 300 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: you could kill the three four hundred people in all 301 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: at once in one shot. And everybody has to be 302 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: everybody has to be focused. 303 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 3: And they do have a. 304 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: Lot of quality control. They do have a lot of inspections, right, 305 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: They have a lot of redundancy, and don't I don't 306 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: know what's gone wrong with the company. It looks like 307 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: everybody gave up. They're all out riding their bicycles. Maybe 308 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: we have more coming up.

It's about time we took 343 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 8: our fate into our own hands and returned California to 344 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 8: some sense of sanity. 345 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm always assuming that it takes you know, many, many 346 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: times to explain this to cover the audience, which is, 347 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: you know, moving in and out, listening for a few 348 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: minutes here and there. So if you would again go 349 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: through the main components of this Prop forty seven six 350 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: that's in this referendum. 351 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd be happy to. So listen, people come out tomorrow. 352 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 8: Let's turn this into an amazing event. And what we 353 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 8: have the opportunity to do is put it initiative on 354 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 8: the ballot, and the signatures tomorrow are to qualify it 355 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 8: so we can put it to the voters in November. 356 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 8: And basically it says the following. When we passed Prop 357 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 8: forty seven, we made drugs misdemeanors, possession of drugs. And 358 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 8: while no one wants to throw anybody in jail or 359 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 8: prison for using drugs recreationally after a period of time, 360 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 8: we used to have an incentive that if you use 361 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 8: drugs and you didn't get help and you committed crimes, 362 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 8: we could really get your attention by holding a felony 363 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 8: over your head, and if you did drug treatment, it 364 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 8: would be dismissed, the charges would go away. But under 365 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 8: Prop forty seven, they took drug possession and just said 366 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 8: it's a misdemeanor over and over and over again. And 367 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 8: that's why you have all these drug addicted individuals, all 368 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 8: these individuals who are homeless, all afflicted with mental health 369 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 8: EXA baited by drug use, and they're doing nothing to 370 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 8: improve their condition. So this says, hey, Dora A, get 371 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 8: mental health, get treatment, door B. It's a felony if 372 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 8: you don't. And we return some sense of people having 373 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 8: to take responsibility for their fate back into their own hands. 374 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 8: So this is to get people's attention and actually do 375 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 8: something when they're addicted to drugs. The other is theft. 376 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 8: We are all sick and tired of the smash and grabs, 377 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 8: the people going in with their hand calculators figuring out 378 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 8: that they can't take more than nine hundred and fifty 379 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 8: dollars or it turns into a felony. Before Prop. Forty seven, 380 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 8: it used to be four hundred dollars. Now people are 381 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 8: going in and they know how much they can steal, 382 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 8: and every time they do it, the clock starts again 383 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 8: on the criminal charges. So what our initiative says is, look, 384 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 8: if you have two prior convictions, we can turn the 385 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 8: next one into a felony, and we can calculate the 386 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 8: value of the things you've stolen and we can add 387 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 8: it up together until it gets to nine hundred and 388 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 8: fifty dollars. So if you have four or five of 389 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 8: these thefts open cases pinning against you, we can add 390 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 8: them up and we can charge you with the felony 391 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 8: if you're gaming the system. So this really gets people's 392 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 8: attention to say you can't steal from target or home 393 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 8: depot or lows. But more importantly is that you can't 394 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 8: steal from the mom and pops, the people that can 395 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 8: barely afford to pay their insurance, and then they get 396 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 8: everything stolen from them, and it really makes a big difference. 397 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 8: And then lastly, John is sentinel. This says to a 398 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 8: drug dealer, if you provide a drug and it has 399 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 8: Sentinel in it and you kill somebody, you can be 400 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 8: charged with murder. And when we do this for drunk driving, 401 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 8: when somebody's convicted of drug driving, the judge admonishes them 402 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 8: that if you do this again in the future and 403 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 8: you kill somebody, you can be charged with murder. It's 404 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 8: called the mental state or the men's rea. We have 405 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 8: to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury 406 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 8: or a tryer fact. And this adds the same kind 407 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 8: of mental state acknowledgment for fetanyl. In a nutshell, we're 408 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 8: going after the drug users, the people that steal, and 409 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 8: the people that are providing sentinel and killing people in 410 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 8: our streets. Over one hundred thousand Americans have died from 411 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 8: fentanyl overdoses in the last three years. 412 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 3: The drugs are so different than ten years ago. 413 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't remember go back to twenty fourteen, 414 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: before this thing passed, I don't remember hearing about Sentinel. 415 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: The meth became much more widespread and much more powerful. 416 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 8: Well, first of all, meth can be you know, we 417 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 8: had these meth labs. They would blow up. People could 418 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 8: manufacture it. It was cheap, also synthetic, whereas cocaine is not. 419 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 8: It's from a plant, but meth anttamine can be manufactured 420 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 8: with chemicals. Then Sentinel became so cheap because the Chinese 421 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 8: were sending it over to Mexico, Chinese manufacturing it in China, 422 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 8: sending it to the cartels, the cartels packaging up it up, 423 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 8: and sending it in to the United States in the 424 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 8: form of a bunch of different pills. Because it's so cheap, 425 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 8: so potent. Okay, look, it's like marijuana today. You know, 426 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 8: you can go in and you can order any kind 427 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 8: of cultivated type of marijuana, just like cigars, light wrap 428 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 8: to heavy wrap. You know, you can basically get anything 429 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 8: you want today. That's how sophisticated the drugs are. But 430 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 8: the fact of the matter is, if somebody orders even 431 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 8: illegally John, if somebody orders a recreational jet drug on 432 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 8: the street and it contains sentinel. They weren't trying to 433 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 8: take sentanyl, they weren't a tempting to overdose. They were 434 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 8: experimenting or using like a xanax or something else, and 435 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 8: as a result of the fentanyl, they died. And these 436 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 8: drug dealers know that the drugs they're pushing today, three 437 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 8: out of four times, the drug they have is going 438 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 8: to contain sentinel. 439 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: Really three out of four times. And this is just 440 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: the common pills that people and a lot of kids 441 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: are buying thinking it's adderall. I think it's xanax or percocet, 442 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: and they're just trying to get a little buzz going. 443 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: And there's a good there's an excellent chance they spent 444 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: to thel and they could die. 445 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 8: Absolutely. They're using it to stay up for exams. They 446 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 8: need they need some speed for exams. And it has 447 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 8: stun Hall. 448 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: All right, we are going to thank you so much, 449 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: by the way for helping us to set this up. 450 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: It's going to be at the Honda Center in Anaheim tomorrow. 451 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: We're going to fix Prop forty seven.

If 477 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: there's one thing that you don't want in your kid's classroom, 478 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: it's a teacher who's looking at porn, or at least 479 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: looking at naked people on his phone while he's teaching 480 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: the class. This actually happened in West Cavina at a school, 481 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: and we got a report here from NBC for Lauren Carnata. 482 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 9: I spoke with a handful of parents and family members 483 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 9: who rallied outside Cameron Elementary School, who tell me some 484 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 9: of their students were too upset to return back to 485 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 9: class after the incident on Friday. This is a text 486 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 9: message one Cameron Elementary grandparents says she received from her 487 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 9: fifth and the sub is being weird and all the 488 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 9: girls are crying and uncomfortable. Do I call nine one one. 489 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 9: The student's grandmother didn't want to speak with us on camera, 490 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 9: but tells me she rushed to the school. She's back 491 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 9: on camp after the holiday weekend with a group of others, 492 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 9: including Stacy Matthews, whose daughter was also in the classroom 493 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 9: when school staff say a substitute teacher was accused of 494 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 9: viewing inappropriate content in the classroom. They're now rallying outside 495 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 9: of the school, sharing their stories and demanding an arrest. 496 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 9: The teacher was. 497 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 10: His back was to the kids so they could see 498 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 10: his phone, and Addison said that there were naked people 499 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 10: on the phone, a couple immediately like the kids kind 500 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 10: of all huddled together in a corner together, and he 501 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 10: just made them feel really uncomfortable.
