It's kind of exciting. 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: When when you lived on Long Island, would you ever 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: say that out loud in front of your friends. 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: It's like, I know, that's a different weather system that 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: they have there. So I got rained on today, but 25 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: a few drops. Really it was something, yes, but if 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: I was on Long Island and there was a fire, 27 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: I would have went, Holy crap a fire because we 28 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 2: never had fires like we do out here. No, So 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 2: we'll also cover that big fires that are burning in Hawaii, 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: at least six of them on the some of the islands, 31 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: Maui and the Big Island Hawaii. 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 3: My best friend and her family they had to evacuate 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: last night there in Maui. 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: They're in Mali. Bad timing, Yeah, just a vacation trip. 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, vacation they were. 36 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: They were in a rental house and the fire was 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: really really close to them, so they had to evacuate. Fortunately, 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: they were able to find a play a hotel room 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: where all of them their extended family too, there's eight 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: of them, so they were able to Yeah, there was 41 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: one room left that can accommodate them. 42 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: Apparently. 43 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Now he's the only island to ever visited twice. 44 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: Oh, and that's the only one I have not visited. Well, 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: not the only one, but I was on a Hawahu 46 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: and the island of Hawaii two years ago I was there, 47 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: but I've not been to Maui. Oh, oh, you're missing out. 48 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: People were now amazing. But I want to see things. 49 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: I don't want to sit on the beach. You can 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: see things. I like to see the volcanoes. I like 51 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: to see what's going on the Big Island. People were 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: jumping into the ocean. Yeah, I'm just gonna say that, right, Yeah, 53 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: because there was nowhere to escape from, So just jump 54 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: in the water. That's not likely to burn? Is it 55 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: not likely? 56 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 5: No? 57 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: You never know. 58 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: I mean, what did the head of the un say 59 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: the other day, the guy in charge of their climate project, Oh, 60 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: you're right, global boiling boiling, So you could jump right 61 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: into a boiling pool of salt water and. 62 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: That includes the oceans. Remember that guy who picked on 63 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: you in the Alsa goond time said one hundred degree 64 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: water off of Florida. Global Something it happens for a 65 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: few hours of one day now becomes the permanent headline. 66 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: It's the end of days. The other thing I saw, 67 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: which I shouldn't say, I would have expected to see, 68 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: but I was a little bit surprised. A father and 69 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: a daughter playing outside on the sidewalk wearing masks. Masks 70 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: are back. 71 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 5: Then. 72 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: I went to a grocery store and there were several 73 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: women marching around with masks. Yeah, and John sent the 74 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: latest Elsagundo Times story from the last writer that's left 75 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: there covering this good old wrong Hyphen Gong Lynn the 76 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 2: second wrong dog. Rong Gong's been on the COVID beat 77 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty when this all started, and his latest 78 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: story is COVID nineteen is heating up all around this summer? 79 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: Should we be wearing masks again now? And they always 80 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: go to Uce San Francisco. Did you notice that? Yes, 81 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: it's a different doctor than I remember seeing. And actually 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: a doctor up there we've had on the show, remember 83 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 2: doctor Gandhi. He was a Yahika Gandhi. Right, she's good, 84 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: but a couple of her colleagues up there are nut bags. 85 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: And he found doctor Peter Chin Hyphen Hong, who said 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: it might be a good idea, right, especially if you're 87 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: sitting on a plane or you're going to places where 88 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: there's a lot of people crowds. 89 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 5: Uh. 90 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: He thinks they should consider bringing it back for public 91 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: transit and airports. Oh my god, is he crazy? Yes, 92 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: he is crazy. And if you don't choose to mask up. 93 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: Be kind to people who decide to wear masks, No 94 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: mock them. I've never publicly berated anybody for wearing a mask. 95 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: I thoughts were all on my head. I think we 96 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: should start. You don't do it either. I want you 97 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: to go into the Whole Foods and start mocking the 98 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: women don't wear a mask that you talk about. I'd 99 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: like to see you go on a tirade with you. 100 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: We'll both go do it together. Well maybe not in tirae. 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: We'd be joking and mocking. Walk up and cough on them. 102 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: Is that what you A? One guy did that to 103 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: us once we weren't wearing masks. Oh, but I think 104 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: my wife was. 105 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: We were outside early early days of COVID, and we 106 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: walked by this guy and he looked at us. 107 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: What my wife yelled at him? That's not funny. See 108 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: there's anger and mocking on both sides, he says. He 109 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: if you're going to go to an upcoming wedding or 110 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: a vacation abroad, it might be a good time to 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 2: mask up ahead of the big events, not twenty twenty anymore. 112 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 2: Please have a test kit available, So same old. Remember 113 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: that was Barbara Ferreira's fears last week that you don't 114 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: know all the people that have tested positive, that have 115 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 2: home test kits, well, they're not included in the data. 116 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: If you look deeply in the story and by you 117 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have read this because you would have gotten 118 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: tired of the nonsense. 119 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Samra got to the end. 120 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: San Francisco's Apartment of Health said, currently, we do not 121 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: expect more severe disease or hospitalization if you're up to 122 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: date on your vaccinations. 123 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, because one of the experts they said, it 124 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: isn't so much about hospitalizations. It just ruins your life 125 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: for a while. If you get sick. You don't want 126 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: to get sick. But the thing I say again is 127 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: the masks are no guarantee. Everyone thinks they put a 128 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: mask on and I'm protected from all infectious disease in 129 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: the world wherever I go. There been it doesn't always 130 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: work that way. 131 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of conflicting research there false security 132 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: that comes with that on how efficient masks are. It's 133 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: it's kind of a religious belief for some people. There's 134 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: not necessarily the science to back up their belief system. 135 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: Do you see this woman in the Oh no, no, no, no, 136 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: I'd fell into this one doctor Sarah Cody, the Santa 137 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: Clara County Public Health director. No, they were the nuttiest. 138 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: Why am I reading this the I didn't know it 139 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 2: was hard. I saw the name Cody fell ill after 140 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: eating indoor and an indoor dining hall at her daughter's college. 141 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: You should see the way she grasps her pearls here. 142 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: I just stood there and thought, well, if I go 143 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 2: in and dine at this event, I'm at risk. On 144 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: the other hand, if I go in with my mask 145 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,119 Speaker 2: and don't dine, that's not going to be really lovely 146 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: for my daughter. And so I thought about it, and 147 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: I made a decision. You know, I just thought, for her, 148 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take off my mask and go have lunch. 149 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: And then I got COVID. 150 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: But I guess people, even up in northern California, people 151 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: are mocking mask wearers. 152 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: She felt intimidated. She could remember Santa Clara County is 153 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: where they made the Sunday Night football team wear a mask, 154 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: so they were covering a football. 155 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth had to wear masks while 156 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: on TV in an empty stadium and the forty. 157 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: Nine ers eventually moved their practices out of state because 158 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: they didn't want to deal with all the masks and 159 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: crap from that Dopey County public house. It was her, 160 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: it was her right, Well that's why wrong Gon calls 161 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: on her. Well it happened to me, wrong, Gon, why 162 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: it happened to me. 163 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I was gonna go to my daughter's graduation and I 164 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: was gonna wear a mask, But then I thought, well 165 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: then people would mock us, so I didn't wear the mask. Look, 166 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: my life is ruined. 167 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: I got the sniffles, my nose is running. And my 168 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: favorite story of all time about Santa Clara County, they 169 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: went after a restaurant for playing music that had lyrics. 170 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: You see, that violated the idea that if they get 171 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: people singing along, you'd be expelling COVID germs. They were 172 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: investigated for having music with lyrics playing outdoors on the sideway. 173 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: I think it was outdoors. People were seated outdoors and 174 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: they weren't allowed to sing, so they had to get 175 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: rid of the outdoor music. They didn't want people to sing, 176 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: and they thought, if you have music with lyrics, people 177 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: will sing along and then they could pass COVID. Right, 178 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: I guess you can just play instrumentals where people can 179 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: hum along. No, you can't hum. Some people hum with 180 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: their mouths. When does humming past COVID? Humming past COVID?

By midnight, 237 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: he came back at three am and sorted loading up 238 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: on tobacco in a garbage can, and they just had 239 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: enough and they said, no, you do and and further 240 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: he leaves the story and he comes back and he 241 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: asks for a cup of coffee or something. So it 242 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 2: wasn't particularly damaged. I was just reading the podesto be 243 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: went crazy on this, a big editorial. It was wrong 244 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: what those seven eleven clocks did. 245 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: No, this is what what everybody ought to do at 246 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: these stores. Just get out your your whooping stick and 247 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: just beat the beat the crap out of them. 248 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: Well, the triumphant news is that the San Joaquin County 249 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: DA ron Fritis has said the seven eleven clerks are 250 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: not going to be facing any ch other. All right, 251 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: and here is the exact sentence. The stocked in seven 252 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: eleven store clerks are not, and have never been, suspects 253 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: of the San Joaquin County DA's office. Any investigation going 254 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: forward is to hold accountable the individual who threatened and 255 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: attempted to rob them. We forgot. Also, he pretended he 256 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 2: had a gun. I watched the video again. He sort 257 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 2: of reaches into his back pocket like he's got a gun. 258 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: Did you see how to intimidate them? Did you see 259 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: his mug shot? No? I did not all face tattoosh 260 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: face tattoos. Every guy with face tattoos ought to be 261 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: rounded up and taken to prison. Now immediately when I 262 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: get in charge, you have a face tattoo. Let's let's 263 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: skip all the uh brigable role here. Let's just go 264 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: right to prison, because you know that's where you're gonna be. 265 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: Only criminals wear face tattoos. Nobody else does that. I 266 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: think it's kind of sad psychologically. Doesn't indicate you're trying 267 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 2: to disguise or change your look because you're sort of 268 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: ashamed or said about how you look. 269 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: It's a sign yourself up that you're violent and insane. 270 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: That's what it's a sign up. 271 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: I see a face tattoo, guy, I am running across 272 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: the street, get in my car and hiding even a 273 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: tiny one or not even not one little mark, not 274 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: one letter, nothing. 275 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't care what you what. Your explanation is no 276 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: face tattoos remarkable on the neck either. 277 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: Despite what the DA says, the police are still investigating 278 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: and they will forward the findings to the DA's office. 279 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: I imagine they're just investigating the thief who are pointing 280 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: to this story two other times within the same twenty 281 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: four hour period he robbed that store before he got 282 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: beaten over the cigarettes. 283 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Seven to eleven should install big screen monitors in the 284 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: front of all their locations with that video playing on 285 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: a continuous loop. Let all the local thieves see what happens, 286 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: and they should. They should give that hand out sticks 287 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: to all the managers. 288 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: Oh and look at this. The man that made that 289 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: video who's doing the commentary. His name is Lewis Benton, 290 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: and he went on Fox News and he said, oh no, 291 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: they were just protecting the store. And they didn't hit 292 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: the guy above the waist. It was all below the waist. 293 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: That's right, doing on the legs. Yeah, very effective. 294 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: That guy did great play by play there, great commentary. 295 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: But except at the beginning he heard him say don't 296 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: do that. He saw them with the stick, he said, 297 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: he say, it was cautioning, I don't do that. Don't 298 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: do that, the police will be here or something. He says, well, it's. 299 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: Risky, right, because the strategy doesn't work. If the bad 300 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: guy has a gun, then you got in trouble. But 301 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a gun. Just let it go. 302 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think this is an important story because if 303 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: these guys had been charged, that would have been announced. No, 304 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: we would have started a GoFundMe for them. And beyond 305 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: all this civics book editorial stuff about now you should 306 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: never hurt anyone who's just there to steal to feed 307 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: his family. He's yeah, he's not feeding his family. I 308 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: just made that. None of them. 309 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: No, I hear this still from time to time. They're 310 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: not feeding their families. They're just thieves. That's they're bad guys. 311 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: They're thieves. They're taking stuff that doesn't belong to them, 312 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: and they deserve the big stick, a big stick right. 313 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: In the ass. Sick up. That's right. I thought you're 314 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: gonna say where it fits all right when we return. Oh, 315 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: it's classic.

He's been 353 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: around a while, but he spent a lot of time 354 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: on this one. He's on the library beat, but not 355 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: much happens. Well, yes, the story is about the Los 356 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 2: Angeles City Library system. They have a central library in 357 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 2: seventy two branches.

The story, of course, starts off the sparrows 361 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: fled the courtyard. It was quiet amid the classics. John 362 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: Zabo stepped out of the elevator and walked through the 363 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: sunlit atrium of the central Library. He passed a slumbering 364 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: homeless man with the efficiency of a spy, disappeared into 365 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 2: stacks of bound archives, hundreds of thousands of relevant to 366 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: obscure pages, including the nineteen ninety one Journal of the 367 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: American Chamber of Commerce in Japan.

You scroll down a few 373 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: paragraphs and then you get to the heart of the matter. 374 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: Homeless people shoot up and wash in library bathrooms, belongings 375 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 2: piled at their feet. Those with mental illnesses murmur among Homer, 376 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: Virgil and Aristotle.

But is it just elegant? 387 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: The way he knows he's a pretentious clown is what 388 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: he is? Okay, what the story should be. The headline 389 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: in my newspaper is LA Library system turned into a 390 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: drug addict shelter. That's what the headline is. There's no 391 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: way anyone normal is gonna make it through this story 392 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: because it is so densely overwritten with bizarre references that 393 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: nobody normal would understand, and he completely buries the main 394 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: point of this is you've got this these disgusting, dangerous 395 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: people living in the library, and instead of throwing them 396 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: out in the streets so that little kids could use it, 397 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: they're spending lots of money training the library marians to 398 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: revive dying ventable patients. 399 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: They spend sixteen million dollars on an office that deals 400 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: with you know, customer outreach, but most of that money 401 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 2: is spent on security and these homeless. But that's the 402 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: thing they it's the euphemism again.

Sixteen million dollars on security. 404 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: Customer outreach was the name of the thing, an I'd 405 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: have to scroll to it other but see the thing 406 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 2: is what it is is is UH is drug addict 407 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: and mental patient assistance. That's what the name of the 408 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: office should be. That's what they're doing here, and that's 409 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 2: not what a library should be within a thousand miles 410 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: of doing it should be in a one hundred safe place 411 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 2: for little children to come and read that's it, that's it. 412 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 2: And and if they're letting in hundreds of homeless people, 413 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 2: and some of them are dying from drug overdoses, and 414 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: there's needles they shoot up and wash in the library bathrooms. 415 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the diseases and infections that you can 416 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: get it in that bathroom? 417 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: Oh well, it's true though.

He's a fool. 433 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: And the La Times enables these fools. What they do 434 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: is they send out their own fool to try to 435 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: turn them into some kind of great literary figure. 436 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, the Central Library in its branches reported 437 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: fifteen hundred security incidents, including one hundred and seven assaults, 438 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: eight hundred and sixteen disorderly conducts. Incidents drop because the 439 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 2: pandemic they shut down a lot of the libraries, but 440 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: picked up again in twenty twenty two thirteen sixty two incidents, 441 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 2: sixty six assaults, seven hundred and seventy eight disorderly conducts. 442 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 2: Imagine getting assaulted in a library by it. And they 443 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 2: have a lot less visits. A had ten million visits 444 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: back in twenty eighteen. They're down to four and a 445 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: half million. Because who would go in there.

The 452 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 2: theme here is that the libraries are just a reflection 453 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 2: of our community. Libraries across the nation are incounting poverty, 454 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: mental illness, and homelessness. Listen to this sentence. The Los 455 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: Angeles Public Library can at times feel like a surreal 456 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: other world.

And gangreen is when your skin is rotting 461 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: and you're dying. And so the Gangreen guy is weeping 462 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: all over the library while he's stalking some poor girl 463 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: who's trying to stalk the shelves. 464 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: And so this idiot, this idiot. 465 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: Writer Jeffrey Fleischman, instead of writing bluntly and clearly and 466 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: putting that at the top of the story, he tries 467 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: to make some pseudo literary, pretentious ba piece out of it. 468 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 2: What a buffoone. The picture that accompanied the story as 469 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: a keeper, people including members of the homeless community, wait 470 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: for the Richard Reardon Central Library to open on a 471 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon in downtown LA. And there they are as 472 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 2: the doors open, and how much stuff they have. It's 473 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: like they're bringing all their homeless junk in with them. 474 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: They're it's like they're traveling. One guy's got two big 475 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: bags with them. It's not a community. Those are dangerous 476 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 2: mental patients, felons, drug addicts, carrying filthy garbage with them. 477 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 2: They're weeping Grant Gangreen. They've become like the metro system. Well, 478 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: this is a place for homeless peoples because they're air conditioned. 479 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: So they've destroyed the libraries for normal people, for your children, 480 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: for the elderly who like to go there to relax 481 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: and while away the time. Now the public and we 482 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: are spending two hundred and forty one million dollars of 483 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: tax money can't use you read this article, you'd never 484 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: walk in a library ever again.

But 488 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: he's trying to keep the dignity of the library system. 489 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: This is just insanity. And is Karen Bass proud of this? 490 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: Are the La Kenny supervisors, proud of this that you 491 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: have weeping gangreen man wandering around harassing young women who'd 492 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: take their child in this boy.

First Amendment violations. And there 516 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: have been some court filings that show that Ferrera tried 517 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: to censor what was going on on social media Twitter 518 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: and Facebook and places like that where there was unfavorable 519 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: content about all her crazy masking and isolating rules. And 520 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 2: there's even a story that she may have tried to 521 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 2: leverage Congressman Adam Schiff to silence some of her critics. 522 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, she was trying to bully people into wearing masks, 523 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: and she was faking the hospitalization rates. And when people 524 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: caught onto it and started beating her up on Twitter, 525 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: she tried to bully them too, and they tried to 526 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: use the government, the federal government, to somehow stop Twitter 527 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: from allowing these people to protest.

Well, everybody 530 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: loves the ambassador program, and of course it's been talked 531 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: about much. With the Metro system, they put ambassadors out 532 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: there and still people are being stabbed and shot. The 533 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: other place where we talk about ambassadors is West Hollywood, 534 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 2: where they've had some problems with the ambassadors doing anything 535 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: to deter crime, and in this story from Fox eleven, 536 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: it looks like some of the ambassadors were doing something 537 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: else besides trying to to deter criminals. Let's listen. 538 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 7: This person was coming out of orbar on La Joya 539 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 7: and Santa Monica Boulevard when they spotted this what you're 540 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 7: about to see happening across the street. And they were 541 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 7: very disturbed by it because they said, the security ambassadors 542 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 7: are supposed to be protecting the city, which has seen 543 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 7: a lot of major issues. 544 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 4: We're going to break down here shortly. 545 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 7: But what they saw was too we hope block to 546 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 7: block security ambassadors acting inappropriately with two women flirting making out. 547 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 7: One ambassador lifted up his block by block Ambassador Shurf, 548 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 7: to show his abs. The images were originally submitted to 549 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 7: Weho Times, and the concerned resident said, you know, given 550 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 7: the recent violent crime in West Hollywood, such behavior demonstrates 551 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 7: a dereliction of duty. 552 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 4: These men were supposed to be on. 553 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 7: High alert protecting the citizens of West Hollywood and deterring 554 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 7: any sort of crime. There had just been a violent 555 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 7: robbery outside the upscale restaurant Craig's last week. 556 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 4: And then let's show you this video. 557 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 7: In July, three armed suspects that had handguns and another 558 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 7: had a rifle rob Deman a few hundred feet from 559 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 7: the La County Sheriff's apartment Sue Host station. And then 560 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 7: in April, we also have a video of another crime 561 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 7: that happened. There were four suspects, one of them arms 562 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 7: with an AK forty seven, that robbed at least three 563 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 7: outside La Boheem restaurant that is near Orlando Avenue in 564 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 7: Santa Monica Boulevard. City officials claimed crime overall is down, 565 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 7: but violent crime and unincorporated parts of the city are up. 566 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 7: Residents recently put the pressure on for the city council 567 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 7: to bring back armed deputies after a series of the 568 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 7: high profile crimes, including some of the ones I mentioned. 569 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 7: And there's a question this morning of whether these ambassadors 570 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 7: were on break or maybe had finished their shift, and 571 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 7: that's why they thought the behavior was fine. David Aguilar 572 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 7: is a regional vice president of Block by Block and 573 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 7: he sent us this statement quote we take matters such 574 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 7: as this very seriously blocked by block. Ambassadors are expected 575 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 7: to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. 576 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 7: All investigations are handled internally. In this incident's being investigated 577 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 7: by our management team and will be addressed according to 578 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 7: our company policy. We've also reached out to city officials 579 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 7: to get their take on all of this. As a 580 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 7: debate around these ambassadors versus armed deputies continues, Well. 581 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 2: They're just friendly ambassadors the public.
