Get in there for 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: Friday's playback.

Well, it's time to check in 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: on Mayor Bess Eddie. She had a big event yesterday. 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: Somebody from the Biden administration came to town, a guy 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: with the Interagency Council on Homelessness. You like that title interagency? 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: What does he do all day? He's supposed to be 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: the go between between like HUD and other agencies to 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: coordinate homeless help, I guests, Interagency Council. Anyway, he came 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: and he toured with her and ABC seven reporter Josh 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: Haskell put together this pretty happy story for Karen Bass. 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: Let's listen. Nearly thirty thousand people live on the streets 19 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles more than any other city. No, no, no, 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: I want to cut number eight. It's a very exciting 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: time because people are very thankful to be leaving the streets. 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is stepping up efforts to 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: house the homeless through her inside Safe program. In less 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: than two months, inside Safe has moved two hundred forty 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: seven unhoused into temporary shelter at motels, and last week, 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: forty of those in motels were placed into permanent housing. 27 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: The city has over forty one thousand homeless, so there's 28 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: a long way to go. And on Tuesday, Bass acknowledged 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: some of the challenges, including complaints about the conditions at 30 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: one of the motels. We did have a problem recently 31 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: with one of the motels. You know, it is challenging. 32 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: We've been fortunate in the sense that we've been able 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: to find motels, but we need so many more rooms 34 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: than that. The other thing that's challenging is is that 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: not in every council district are their motels. So we 36 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: don't want to ship people from one end of the 37 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: community to the next, or not keep them. Stop stop stop. 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: John calls a timeout. Oh, what do you mean you 39 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: don't want to ship people from one side of the 40 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: community is their community too. Just because they're on house 41 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they don't belong there. Like in Venice, they 42 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: don't have a house. By definition, they don't have a community. 43 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: You have to live inside a house to be part 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: of a community. They adopted the community from the streets. Say, 45 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: most of these people came from out of state. They 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: left their community two thousand miles behind them. This is 47 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: such a load of steaming horse mareneur. This is another 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: wall we face. This crowd believes that just because you 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: PLoP down on that corner, you are now a member 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: of this community and we're gonna house you there. And 51 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: the word challenging. No, I don't want to it's challenging. 52 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: Oh gee, you didn't know there weren't enough empty motel 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: rooms in the city to house forty thousand plus homeless. 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: You didn't know that, all right, So challenging. We don't 55 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: have enough all And you know, someone tells lining up 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: to turn themselves over from homeless housing, and what's that 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: got to do to their business? Why would you do 58 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: that unless you were just renting out to drug addicts 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: and prostitutes. Why would you rent out your room to 60 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: the vagrants. All right, you want because you've got to. 61 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: You gotta go in there and clean it up every day. 62 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: You want to go in and provide room service to 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: a vagrant? Ah yeah, yeah, I guess want to slam 64 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: my head against the wall. Let's continue this report the district. 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: Are there motels, so we don't want to ship people 66 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: from one end of the community to the next. We 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: want to keep them nearby where they were were. Eighty 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: seventh and Western and South Los Angeles were a homeless 69 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: incament once occupied this entire block. It was cleared under 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: Mayor Bass's Inside Safe and it has not returned. Part 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: of the sidewalk still fenced off. Six homeless incamuts have 72 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: been cleared so far in the city of La which 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: were located at eighty seventh and etern Kuwanga in the 74 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: one on one Freeway in Hollywood, two in Venice, one 75 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: in Marvista, and another in South Los Angeles at ninety 76 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: nine and Flower, which was cleared Tuesday and all thirty 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: people living at the encampment accepted housing. I believe right 78 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: down to my core that we can solve homelessness here 79 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and if we can solve it, here, 80 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: we can solve it anywhere. May Or Vass says the 81 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: key to being successful at this mission is by aligning 82 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: all forms of government. Jeff Olivette from the Biden administration 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: toward skid Row, a temporary shelter, and a substance abuse 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: treatment center while in Los Angeles on Tuesday. We have 85 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: to address the crisis of unsheltered homelessness. Inside Safe is 86 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: a great example of how to do that. But we've 87 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: got to also attend to the permanent housing and supportive 88 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: services that help end homelessness. If we only do those 89 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: two things and we don't prevent homelessness from happening in 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: the first place, we will have failed. No, not heard 91 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: that before. You can't prevent homelessness from happening. If a 92 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: guy's brain is racked with schizophrenia or bipolar, or he's 93 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: whacked out on fentinelle or meth or cocaine, or he's 94 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: a drunk, you can't prevent. What you have to do 95 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: is not let him squat in the city. To begin unaccepted, 96 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: you are right, do not tolerated, do not accept it. 97 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: To tell people you have to find another way to 98 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: deal with your problem. If that means moving somewhere where 99 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: you can afford a place to live, or getting to 100 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: help you need for your mental illness or your alcoholism. 101 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: You do it, but you're not going to PLoP here 102 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: and expect us to take care of everything. Doesn't work 103 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: that way. That's exactly why we get more homeless. We 104 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: have tolerated it. Some methodic, some methodic bums stumbles in 105 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: from Texas and I've got to give him an apartment? 106 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: Are you out of your mind? And I looked up 107 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty seven people have allegedly been taken 108 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: off the streets by by Bassetti, that is for a day, 109 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: since he cheats our office. And you notice in that 110 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: report only forty were allegedly placed into permanent housing for 111 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: a motel. Okay, so that's not even one a day, 112 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 1: not even one a day. Do you know the staff 113 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: just at the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, just at 114 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: that one agency, Yeah, over seven hundred staff, over seven 115 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: hundred people working there. Wow. And they're not even the 116 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: only agency. And that doesn't count all the nonprofits. There 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: are thousands and thousands of people spending billions of dollars, 118 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: and we're getting four people off the streets a day, 119 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: and there's probably more than that in the front row 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: of the first bust that comes in from Texas and 121 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: it says here, LASSA manages over eight hundred million dollars 122 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: annually in funding, eight hundred million dollars and they get 123 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: four people off the streets per day. If it's even 124 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: their agency doing it, which it probably isn't. They are thieves. 125 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: They are nothing but thieves, and Bessetti is just a 126 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: front for a big criminal operation. The La County Border 127 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: Supervisors also announced yesterday they have authorized the largest ever 128 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: annual budget allocation for the county's homeless, six hundred and 129 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: ten million dollars. There you go, where does that go? 130 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: That's right, it's an eleven percent increase from the previous 131 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: year to get four people a day off. Supposedly, it's 132 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: for twenty two thousand housing units, along with more than 133 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: sixty million and rental subsidies to help quickly house newly 134 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: homeless people. Again, you don't want homeless people. You don't 135 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: tolerate it. Oh, by the way, a fifth person died 136 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: on that stretch on Ventura Boulevard and Nithia Raman's district, 137 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: oh Sherman in the Yeah, fifth person in front of 138 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: a restaurant my wife and I used to go to 139 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: all the time. As a photo I got yesterday on 140 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: the next Door app. Dead body laying there? Why are 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: they dying? I guess they're dying everywhere around LA. But 142 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: that's getting the attention, right, Yeah, because there's been a 143 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: cluster in the last few weeks out a cluster. All right, 144 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll play CNN took a look 145 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: at the best Setti inside Safe story with the motels. 146 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: We'll see what they have in their report. CNN nash 147 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: Lite broadcast Your Chance for Money is next though, John 148 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: and Ken Cafiam six forty Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app 149 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 1: really challenging. All right, So now we're going to see 150 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: how another media outlet covers the homeless crisis in LA, 151 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: which has gone on far too long. We now have 152 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: may Or Bassetti in charge, and the one thing you 153 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: listen to this show for is that we're gonna ferret 154 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: through to the truth. Now. ABC seven did a largely 155 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: positive story on her housing two hundred and forty seven 156 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: people in two months with about forty thousand, seven hundred 157 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: and fifty to go. The rest of LA's estimated homeless 158 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: population four a day. Somebody want to tell the Channel 159 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: seven guy, let's named Josh Haskell, why don't you do 160 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: the math? Do some division four people a day? And 161 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: now they got seven hundred people alone working at LASSA. 162 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: This could be me just falling for political tricks. But 163 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: at least she's out there and she's putting on a 164 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: brave face and talking about it. She's going to these encampments, 165 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: she's bringing people at might dump money she's doing. I mean, 166 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: Garcetti was nowhere to be seen, like for the last 167 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: few years. He was a zero ever since he did 168 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: what were those the program they're gonna put almost encampment 169 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: in each No, were the homeless encampment in each district? 170 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: That planned the bridge housing the bridge housing. That's yeah, 171 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: he was out there a lot during that. That's like 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: five years ago already or something. But then he just 173 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: just disappeared, that's right. The gift baskets were for prisoners. 174 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: Uh no, No, they were for the homeless. The gift 175 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: baskets were for the homeless too. Yeah, you supposed to 176 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: welcome the homeless to your neighborhood when they put them 177 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: in the bridge housing. You're gonna come down with your 178 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: gift basket and give them toilet tries. Right. That was 179 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: the idea that what were we giving the prisoners just 180 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: to thank them for their soul? Oh? Thank you, yes, 181 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: thank you for your service always if they were they've 182 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: done their time. Now they're out there, they're part of 183 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: the world like you are. You should thank them for 184 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: getting through that. People might have paid their debt to society, 185 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: our debt of gratitude should be thanking them for serving 186 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 1: that time. Yeah, that's I know. Sometimes I think the 187 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: show's a joke and they're making this up over or not. 188 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: These are a few of my favorite. Really good luck, ambassador. 189 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: It's fun to pull out the Carcetti pinyad every once 190 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: in a while. So here is CNN and a reporter 191 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: named Nick West. They did a story on LA's homeless. 192 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Nearly thirty thousand people live on the streets of Los Angeles, 193 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: more than any other city in America. Among them, Halima Fielding. 194 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: I've been raped a couple of times out here. I've 195 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: had a gun pointed to me, I've had a knife 196 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: points to me. I've been analyzed. This is bad for 197 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: the unhoused and for the housed who live amongst it. 198 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm a caretaker from my mom and we were locked inside. 199 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: LA's new mayor, Karen Bass, day one on the job, 200 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: declared this state of emergency. She has a plan tear 201 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: down the tents, move the people into motels for an 202 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: indefinite stay, provide them services and eventually permanent housing. Two 203 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: weeks of Bass taking office, these notorious Venice streets were 204 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: cleared before after much safer today, much safer. I was thrilled. 205 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: The fact that these you know in camera sweet started 206 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: so soon after you took office makes me concerned that, 207 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, perhaps at the back end and the actual 208 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: permanent housing hasn't quite been thought through. So you're getting 209 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: people off the street because it looks good. Let you 210 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: know what, though, I'm going to tell you something. I'm 211 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: not going to leave people on the street while we're building. 212 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: We have got to get people die on these streets. 213 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: The psychologically damages. How long were you on the streets. 214 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: I've never really had my own place. Now Noah has 215 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: a motel room. After decades in prisons and on the streets, 216 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: do you have any kind of time frame aus to 217 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: when you might move in some place permanent. It should 218 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: be still waiting on documentation. Stopped a second. What do 219 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: you mean after decades in prison? Why?

Decades 222 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: in prison? How do you get decades in California? How 223 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: do you feel sorry for someone that's been in prison 224 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: for decades? On the streets or both? Why do I 225 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: have to give him a house? Stop committing the crimes 226 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: and get your crap together.

But 240 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: I think that some people feel scared giving up what 241 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: is their only safety. That I absolute absolutely understand that 242 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: we'll have to examine that. There's another condition. You can 243 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: only take a couple of bags of possessions with you 244 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: to the motels. Everything else is crashed.

Alima Fielding didn't live in a tent. 253 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: The first night I was in a tent, a game 254 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: member sliced it with a knife and I said, okay, 255 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: I can't live like this, and so I created this 256 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: over here. It's warm in here. It's because of the tarp, 257 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: and now she's very happy to give it up.

Good luck, she gets 261 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: a motel room and the locals get their bike path 262 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: back there.

But the Times just did 311 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: this story that apparently there is going to be a 312 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: whole new permitting process for what they call LA's Alfresco. 313 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: I remember when Garsetti announced it two he liked to use. 314 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: Of course, it's outdoor dining to normal people. It seems 315 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: from what I can get from this story, you got 316 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: to start over. Yes, you have to start more paperwork, 317 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: more fees, more bureaucracy, and more months of approval. Yeah, 318 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: and and the restaurant owners in Los Angeles are so 319 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: pissed off and so exhausted.

Why do you have to do that? 323 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: And why do you need permits when all these outdoor 324 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: dining patios already exist and are functioning superbly. That's what 325 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: a bunch of restaurant owners said. I thought this was 326 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: permanent when we got this started a couple of years ago. 327 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: But no, the city, Oh boy, what a name yea 328 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: Yayhig Kahitian La City Planning chief External affairs officers, Well 329 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: old yayheg.

Restaurants will need 333 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: to apply under the permanent al Fresco program in order 334 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: to continue offering outdoor dining at their establishment. So what 335 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: he's trying to say was what we did during the 336 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: pandemic was just temper y. Now we've come up with 337 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: a permit program and a permitent program, which means we 338 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: just want more money from people. Well, he says, the 339 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: emergency orders are being lifted, says Yeghig, and the city 340 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: must codify this program to preserve the original intent of 341 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: La al Fresco. The hell who speaks like that. They 342 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: talked to a couple that owns a restaurant called All 343 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: Time in La Oh in Los Felis, and he and 344 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: his wife and their partner applied for the permit. They 345 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: invested thirty thousand dollars for decks with seating and landscaping, 346 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: and they opened their new patio with sixty seats, so 347 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: the outdoor dining was made helped them bounce back. But 348 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: if the ordinance has passed us drafted and he doesn't comply, 349 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: he'll lose thirty seats and have the restructures economic plan 350 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: for the restaurant including cutting staff. Yeah, so cost jobs 351 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: and it's going to put some people out of business. 352 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: Like here's here's a woman, Christy Vega, invested hundreds of 353 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to would transformed part of her parking 354 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: lot into an large tented outdoor restaurant cass A Vega 355 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: in Sherman Oaks. I've seen that place, huh. And she 356 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: thought that nobody's dead outside that she probably has to 357 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: hire somebody to collect the bodies every day of the 358 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: homeless people dying in Sherman Oaks. Wow. She thought the 359 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: allowances would be permanent, and now she says this permitting 360 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: process is very expensive and would take a year in 361 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: the process. Wow. Uh yegg Hig says the city is 362 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: still exploring ways to streamline the process and they're gonna 363 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: put forth their recommendations to the City Planning commissioned to 364 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: consider in the spring. Wait. Wait, such a big deal 365 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: out of this. Just take the list of businesses that 366 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: have the temporary permit, cross out the word temporary, write 367 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: in permitent. Don't charge him any money for it. I'll 368 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: buy the I'll buy the pen, I'll buy the marker, 369 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: put the word permanent in there, and then go home, 370 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: close your office and go home and get a real job. 371 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: Gig Oh yeah. The Casa Vega woman says a section 372 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: of the ordinance, are required or shrink or patio to 373 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: just of five parking spaces, or apply for a conditional 374 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: use permit, which would be very expensive. It could take 375 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: a year to process. That's some of these owners have 376 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: had patio dining for three years without any complaints. I 377 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: love patio dining. What not these days it's a little 378 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: cold out there, like hel Fresco. Oh I do. I 379 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: just think it's nice to be out of a picnic. 380 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: Most people do. Yeah, But why would you come down 381 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: under I mean they do everything backwards right, They take 382 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: chase after business owners all the time, and yet they 383 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: can't deal with the dirty, ugly streets from the homeless, 384 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: of the drugs. And there's that's the thing. There are 385 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: thousands of people dying in the streets of Los Angeles. 386 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: They do nothing to stop it other than sometimes scraping 387 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: up the bodies. But people who work like fourteen hours 388 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: a day running a restaurant, employing people, serving customers, creating wealth, 389 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: creating tax a tax base, all you get our bizarre 390 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: charges for stupid permits. What they've got permits, They don't 391 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: need new ones. And one person here, what's their name 392 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: or last name is Navarette says this ordinance is only 393 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: zoning rules. It doesn't go into how the Department of 394 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: Building in Safety will implement the actual permits. We don't 395 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: yet know how we will approach other areas on public 396 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: rights of ways such as parklets, unused alleyways, or similar circumstances. 397 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: That has to come from the Apartment of Transportation both. 398 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: Most likely a separate permit will be required there as well. 399 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: So if you have patio tables that sprawl out down 400 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: a sidewalk or down an alley or into a parking 401 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: lot or whatever, you need separate permits for separate sections 402 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: of your tables. Wow. Another restaurant owner found Oyster and 403 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: NASA said that pre pandemic, it would take twelve to 404 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: fourteen months from signing at least opening a restaurant. Now 405 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: it takes closer to two years and can evolved at 406 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: least seven different department approvals, each with their own priorities, 407 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: their own fees, and their own timelines. Seven you've got 408 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: to apply to seven different different departments. Yeah, what's best 409 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: SETTI doing about this? She said? If we have to 410 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: build a new deck in a restaurant, will probably be 411 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: spending thirty five th forty thousand with furniture plus any 412 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: of the city's fees in time. Wow. Right, now, a 413 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: conditional use permit process by itself on spending ten to 414 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars to apply, fifteen thousand to effectuate, and 415 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: that does include the cost of consultants if it gets 416 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: done consultants. That's forty five to sixty thousand for a 417 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: conditional use permit approval that excludes building in safety fees, 418 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: other permit FEESA and construction costs. This really is guy 419 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: communist Russia. I mean, this is unbelievable. Now, and that 420 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: guy you mentioned, Navarette says he thinks they'll eventually do 421 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: code enforcement warnings will be followed by possible final action 422 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: if you don't comply with these new permitting requirements. Oh 423 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: this is for outdoor dining. This is so wrong. This 424 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: is so abusive. That's the only word. Really, this is 425 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: abusive government. This is just wrong. This is the stuff 426 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Best said you want to get rid of. She talked 427 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: about streamlining the red tape in the homeless program. Eddie 428 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: Navarett is the guy we were talking about, executive director 429 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: of the Independent Hospitality Coalition. Oh, yeah, we should try 430 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: to get him on ray. Yeah, we should. Somebody's got 431 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: to go to bat for these restaurant owners. They should 432 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: all be left alone. No further permits, no further forms, 433 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: no consultants, no fees, no nothing. Whatever you got, you got. 434 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: If there's a new restaurant that wants to do this, 435 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: then you know, charge them five bucks for the cost 436 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: of the printing and not for nothing. But they bend 437 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: over backwards. For the street vendors that sell their bacon 438 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: wrapped hot dogs in the street corners, they don't have 439 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: that permits, they don't, they don't have to have any rules. 440 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: They takeaway restaurant business, which is I mean, I don't 441 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: want to put you know, punch on the poor guy 442 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: trying to sell a hot dog on a corner. But 443 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: but then don't get take away from restaurant business. Don't 444 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: abuse the restaurant owners. Well, why would you charge him 445 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars just to put chairs on a sidewalk? 446 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: Freaking crazy? All right, we'll return Johnny Ken KF I 447 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: am six forty live everywhere the iHeart Radio app. I 448 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: can't take today.

But 450 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: if you do miss any of the show live, it 451 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: is easy to pick it up on the podcast at 452 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: KFI a M six forty dot com and also the 453 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: iHeart radio app. We got a lot to come in 454 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: the three o'clock hour, a bombshell report. Remember that Russian 455 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: pipeline that go a little dent in a little damn it? 456 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: Did we do that? Somebody exploded? Did Biden order that done? 457 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: It's a great story. We'll talk about it after the 458 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: news at three o'clock. We'll also explain exactly why there's 459 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: an even bigger rush at the border. Mostly it's, of 460 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: course Biden has repealed a lot of Trump policies and 461 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: has a lot of people basically running this part of 462 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: the story who don't care how many migrants come into 463 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: the United States. But there is another aspect of this 464 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: we need to talk about, and it brings us back 465 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: to the evil corporations and business owners that's coming up 466 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: after the news at three o'clock. Well, we finally have 467 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: an animal story for Deborah Mark. Probably not a happy one, no, 468 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: and it involves an animal that is really low in 469 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: my hierarchy, I mean probably bottom ten percent. It is 470 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: a pigeon. I knew you were going to do this story. 471 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: I knew it. Yeah, you don't like pigeons. I do 472 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 1: not do to you. They pooped on your head. I 473 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: did get pooped on, yeah. In fact, there was one 474 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: day was welcomed by friends while we're in our three 475 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: piece suits back in the day as accountants, and he 476 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: got pooped on his head and it dripped down there 477 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: just a good luck you spent any Yeah, really pigeons 478 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: or ever said that, it's just an idiot that tried 479 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: to come up with some bright side to get it's 480 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: a very discerning pigeon. Well, it's getting pooped on, good luck. 481 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: I heard somewhere that it's good luck. Really, yeah, I 482 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: don't think anyone ever had that reaction. Probably not. But 483 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: it's any bird pooping on you, or it's a pigeon, 484 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: it's extra good. I think it's it's any bird. Well, 485 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: if you ever lived in New York City or been 486 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: in New York City, there's incredible amount of pigeons and 487 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: they're mostly annoying. However, they found recently in one of 488 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: the parks in New York City, Madison Square Park, a 489 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: pink pigeon, and of course the pigeon got a name, Flamingo. 490 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: You get it. The pigeon's dead, so sad because somebody 491 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: dyed the bird pink? Yeah, why do you have to 492 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: do that? Allegedly for a gender revealed party. People are 493 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: still doing these dopey gender revealed parties where they want 494 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: to have some big demonstration as to whether or not 495 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: it's a boy or a girl. Remember the morons who 496 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: started a huge wildfire. Dying a pigeon is better than that. 497 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: You can go and buy a stuffed pink pigeon. I'm 498 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: sure somewhere or something something that looks like, why can't 499 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: they use a stuffed animal? Why would you die up? 500 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: That's just because I think what they did was they 501 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: captured the pigeons, they dyed them pink. This might not 502 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: be the only one or maybe the only one. And 503 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: then will you release it? And flies into the air, 504 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: And that's a big dramatic moment. You can't get that 505 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: with a stuffed animal. Okay, then figure out something else 506 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: the animals alone, and we know your baby's genet hal you. Yeah, 507 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: and I thought we were entering an era now where 508 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: that was being played down. That's right, Yeah, that you're 509 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: just you're just cutting off. What if this child decides 510 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: to be non binary? There you go? Well, yeah, apparently 511 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: they believe the bird inhale the toxins suspected hair dye 512 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Birds are highly sensitive to some fumes. The bird was 513 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: already weak and malnourished. You can't paint a pigeon, do 514 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: you think they Well, they probably know what you do 515 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: is it's hair dye, because some women have like little 516 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: pink in their hair. Some kinds too, I guess. So 517 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: you put the hair dye in a tub of water 518 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: and then you kind of bathe the pigeon in the 519 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: in the So that's what hair dye can do to you. 520 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: Well you actually there there are studies that that and 521 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: I know many years ago using hair dyet could cause cancer. 522 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: So who knows. But look what happened to this poor pigeon. 523 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: Well you've stopped yeing your hair, right me? No, no, no, oh, 524 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: I get a to up every six weeks or so. 525 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: Otherwise arkend or lightened. Uh. Actually my hair got light 526 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: from being in the sun and driving it with my 527 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: top down. So I just matched the color, or I 528 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: get it matched, so I don't really die. My whole 529 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: color wouldn't come out naturally. It's like a light brown. 530 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 1: Oh it's not gray, No, no, I do. I have 531 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: a little gray on top yes, I do. I have 532 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: a little gray on top, that's it. So that's right, 533 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: I a little stripe, Yeah, just a little bit. Fortunately. 534 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, some of us aren't as fortunate as you. 535 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: John Cobalt, you don't have a single gray hair. I 536 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: don't either. Actually, oh god, you guys are I found 537 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: my first gray hair when I was twenty four. Twenty 538 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: four four. That must have been quite a shock that day. 539 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have some I'm only twenty eight. 540 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: Say there you go. I mean, my family teases me 541 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: about it because half my family went gray pretty young. God, 542 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: you guys are so lucky. Another half of us didn't. 543 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: It's just because that's my mother was like that. She 544 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: didn't go gray. Yeah, my mother. My mother didn't go grave. Yeah, 545 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: your mother didn't really go gray either. So I got 546 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: a picture of her my phone. She was seventy five. God, 547 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 1: my mother didn't in die or hair or anything. Just 548 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: never really got any grays. Fortunately, I just have a 549 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: little bit. So it's not that difficult, right, It's only 550 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of diace, you bin. I'm sure I 551 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: will die of something like that, you know, some humulative damage. Yeah. 552 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: Flamingo apparently was a king pigeon in case she didn't know, 553 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: there's separate types of pigeons. Uh, they're naturally all white, 554 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: although they occasionally get one of a small amount of 555 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: die or paint. But an all pink pigeon is the 556 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: first time they got the This was the wild Bird 557 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: fun out of the Upper West Side of New York 558 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: that cares for birds. And after this bird was found 559 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: in the park, it obviously was not in good shape. 560 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: They brought it there to care for it, and it 561 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: died after a week because probably the die not necessarily 562 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: to die. But what kind of it ignorant bozo would 563 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: do and what's going to happen to that person? I'll 564 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: never find who did it? I mean, unless yeah, if 565 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: somebody rats them out, let's wrap them out. Whoever knows them, 566 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: sees them on social media? Wrap them outright, she's going 567 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: to start a vigilante mob. No, that's just not cool. 568 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: Leave the frigging animals alone. God, figure out something else. 569 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: They're not there for you to mutilate, humiliate and die. 570 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: Why even though I don't have the pigeons very high 571 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: in my hierarchy, she makes a good point. I can wow, 572 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: look at that you got through mister hardheart. Why somebody 573 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: would die an animal any color? I don't really understand. Oh, 574 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: you know what I do see people in my neighborhood. 575 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: They have dogs and they have a little pink feathers 576 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: that they put on them. Now, they're not dyeing the 577 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: dogs pink, but they go and they get little cute 578 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: pink feathers and they they attached stuff. Yeah, for my 579 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: neighborhood that put like little pink bows on their dogs. 580 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: The dog. That's an alternative right there. See I solve 581 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: the do you dress up your dog? Now? They do 582 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: have pink rhindstone collars. Oh, but you don't put little 583 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: coats on them in the winter, because I'm seeing a 584 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: lot of that this winter. Lone, No, I tried jackets ken. 585 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: I actually did try to find a leopard one for 586 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: one of my dogs a few years ago, but it 587 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: didn't fit, so I gave up. I know I was 588 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: coming down the right road. You got her pegged. My 589 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: favorite is driving around now I'm seeing people the dogs 590 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: have sunglasses on, which is really bizarre, but they wear 591 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: them kind of calmly. They're just staring at the window 592 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: with a pair of sunglass. What's kind of neighborhood you 593 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 1: live in. Well, it was a convertible like Debra's car, 594 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: so oh yeah, it looked really cool, sticking his head 595 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: out the window. Yeah, I keep my top up when 596 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: the dogs are in there because I don't want them 597 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: to jump out, to fly out exactly. All right, we 598 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: got more coming up. Johnny Ken CAF, I am six forty. 599 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: We are alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio appmark lot, in 600 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: the twenty four Cafe news room
