1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Welcome in. Hello everybody. Yeah, yeah, well again everybody, everybody. 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: The answer is zero. This one got past the Goldpool pickers. 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Raquel Welsh It was announced today that she has died 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: at the age of eighty two. Maybe because you don't 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: see much of her in the last ten or fifteen years, 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: but she had quite a a moment in the nineteen 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: sixties when she was in two movies Fantastic Voyage in 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: One Million Years PC and people sure noticed her and 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: there was a deer skin bikini. Yeah that was Yeah. 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: I never saw the movie, but I saw those photos. 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: I did it. We went to that movie that the 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: local theater. I don't know. I think it was overall, 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: it wasn't considered racy. I don't think the movie it was. 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: Did you noticed the bikini at the time, kind of 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: a science fiction fantasy, Oh yes, definitely. Everybody was talking 16 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: about Fantastic Voyage. I did see too. That's when they 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: shrunk them down and put them inside the body. Do 18 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: you remember that. It's a way to do surgery and 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: a shrug. You shrink the people down and to inject 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: them into the body. Y, what's that her body? No? No, no, 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: everybody gets shrunk you could get trunk. I could get 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: trunk marking, get trunk like we gets trunks like a 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: medical team. They all got shrunk and went into this 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: boy some type. So we were like COVID viruses. So 25 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: it's like another futuristic science fiction film where maybe this 26 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: could be the wave of the future. I never And 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: then they encountered like the antibodies and stuff. It was 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: like it was like almost like a horror film because 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: they the body was turning on them. She lived in 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: my old neighborhood, just across the street and down the 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: block a bit. That's another time. It's another mention of 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: your old neighborhood. Yes, I told you. It was filled 33 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: with the old faded Hollywood celebrities. I know. And there's 34 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: a picture of her here from twenty seventeen, though still 35 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: looking very nice. She looked really were mid seventies when 36 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: I saw her, as probably going back probably about maybe 37 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Uh look faded. Uh no makeup, Oh 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: I see, so she probably would have been here mid sixties. 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 1: And yeah, even the great actresses without the makeup once 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: you get to that age, and that's probably true with everybody, 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: but yes, particularly when you're not beauty. The only time 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I got to meet Raquel Welch, and it was just 43 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: a disappointment, that's all. I didn't meet her anyway, We 44 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: just passed the pastor Street, didn't give her a second look. 45 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: Real you picked her out though, huh? I did? My 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: wife did? Yeah? It turned out it was true. Yeah, 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: so nobody picked Raquel Welch. We're still trying to figure 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: out do we have any updates Diane Feinstein still retiring 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: or is there anything new on that announcement that I 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: don't think that. I think there's gonna be more chapters 51 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: in that story. A lot of the progressive liberal media 52 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: skipped the confusion. They just oh, I noticed that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: because they don't. They don't want to inform the public 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: that she's so batty she doesn't remember that she's retiring 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: because they have to protect her legacy. They want to 56 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: talk about the Dianne Feinstein I remember, Depending on what 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: you want to select, she either didn't remember at all 58 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: she was retiring, or she didn't know or remember that 59 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: they had put out the statement already yesterday and was 60 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: still planned like, oh, we haven't decided yet, it's coming. 61 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Thinking that the statement hasn't come out yet, so therefore 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of it. But either way, 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: it was bizarre. I think they also want her to 64 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: be out, like all these progressive wieners like at the 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: LA Times, water out because they want they they don't 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: want to be running and be an embarrassment. And then 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: god knows, maybe Republican sneaks in there very paranoid. Yeah, yeah, 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: so they apparently they're also insisting she will finish her 69 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: term so that dippity do can't reach in there and 70 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: appoint another person to the US State like he did 71 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: to replace Kamala Harris, which she already announced. You would 72 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: select a black woman black and get capital, bag that 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: small big capital. This is the land of opportunity, and 74 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: everybody's equally judged. But I will announce an advance what 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: race I'm picking for a position? Yes, I will. I 76 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: will sidetrack and and that that makes him presidential? Doesn't 77 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: it that that he chooses people by the skin color? Yeah, 78 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: exactly that style. Meanwhile, the Alsagundo Times did uh classically 79 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: short story in today's edition about the California population drop 80 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand and two years as exodus continues at 81 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: least in the online headline, they did use the word excess, 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: The California excess is showing no signs of slowing down. 83 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: But you know, the numbers really bigger than that, because 84 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: the number of residents leaving surpass those moving in by 85 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: almost seven hundred thousand. And then you add in the 86 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: the births in California, so the population it's only down 87 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: a half million, but actually the population loss was seven 88 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: hundred thousand people in two years. In two years, and 89 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: then the responses, we got forty billion people? Is that 90 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: really much, right? It? Well, it's it's a lot. You 91 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 1: line up seven hundred thousand people, that's a big crowd. 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: That's how many of there's like eleven Dodger stadiums, twelve 93 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: Dodger stadiums. It's also the size of several US states. Yeah, 94 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: you think about that, some of the smaller states. Oh 95 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: that's more than the Wyoming. Wyoming moved out of California. 96 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: That's how many people. And the thing is they try 97 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: to find somewhere in the article why is this happening? 98 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: And it's about it takes a while to get to that, right. 99 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: They all talked about where people are going, what states 100 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: they're going to it's not about COVID. It's about the 101 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns. COVID hit'll all fifty states. COVID hit Florida 102 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: and Texas too. No, nobody's afraid of that disease in 103 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Florida and Texas because you can go there and you 104 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: have your freedom. People left here in part because they 105 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: didn't have their freedom. People also left not because of 106 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: remote work, because again there's remote work in Florida and 107 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: Texas too, and nobody fled there when COVID hit. They 108 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: fled here because life is intolerable. And if you don't 109 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: if you aren't getting paid to live here, if you're 110 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: not forced to live here because of your job, many 111 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: people decide, I don't want to deal with all the 112 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: disgusting homeless and I don't want to deal with all 113 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: the communist lockdowns or the insane violent crime that's in 114 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: the streets. That's why people are moving. It was crime, homelessness, lockdowns, 115 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: having your freedom taken away. Yeah, and that's what the 116 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: headline is. Yeah. And the other thing to remember here, 117 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: of course, they're citing the cost of real estate and 118 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: the cost of living. This brings us back to the 119 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: homeless problem. These people that leave California are those that 120 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: have the wherewithal to look around and say, I don't 121 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: like what's going on here, and I really can't afford 122 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: the rents or the home prices here, and I'm going 123 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: to find somewhere else in the country to start a 124 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: life where I can live the type of lifestyle I 125 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: want to. So what happens is we lose people that 126 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: really are more valuable in terms of the economy and 127 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: the long term health of the state. That's the sadness 128 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: about this, losing these seven hundred thousand people. These are 129 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: these are at minimum middle class taxpayers. Now, the poor 130 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: didn't move out of California. The poor never moved out 131 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: of California. The middle class to the upper class, they're 132 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: the ones they bolt and they take their tax money 133 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: with them. And part of the reason the cost of 134 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: living is so high because artificially, California artificially restricts the 135 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: number of homes being built, and it will always be 136 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: that way until we vote differently, so we can't build 137 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: more housing. So there's there's always going to be a shortage, 138 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: which means the prices are always going to be high. 139 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: During the final year. Of this two year span July 140 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one July twenty twenty two, California lost almost 141 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: two hundred and eleven thousand people, and nearly half of 142 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: that Los Angeles County. Of course, well Sungs County is 143 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: the most populous of the states counties, but that's that's 144 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: a pretty hefty chunk. And it has the loss most, 145 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: it has the most homeless, and it has a high 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 1: crime rate. And I can't tell you how many people 147 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: I talk to among those I know in my neighborhood, 148 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: that's all everybody's talking about. Everybody's trading stories about the 149 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: latest crime they heard about or read about the latest 150 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: homeless guy they got lost in the neighborhood or walking 151 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: down Wilshire Boulevard, and something unspeakable happens at an absolute 152 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: obsession where I live. No conversation doesn't cover that extensively. 153 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: And you know, the people who people who run this 154 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: city and state don't care. I don't care. I just 155 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: don't understand the voting patterns. I never will now. And 156 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: you look at the states that are also losing people, 157 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: They're like New York right, the Northeast has also been 158 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: suffering the same kind of problem, and we talked about this. Yes, 159 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: today this is following what everybody remembered from the rust 160 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: belt cities like Detroit losing people. The same thing is 161 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: happening again. It's a different type of shuffle, but it's 162 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: more than just the price of real estate. There are 163 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: so many other factors that tell people it's time to 164 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: do something else with my life. And that's a self 165 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: inflicted wound the real estate like all this, like the 166 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns, was self inflicted. When closing the schools, for 167 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: God's sakes, believe me, Florida boomed. Number one reason was 168 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: the schools were open and people fled out of New 169 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: York and New Jersey and Illinois because they could enroll 170 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: their kids in school. I'm because all this stuff should 171 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: affect Florida too, and it doesn't. You don't have huge 172 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: homeless situations in Florida. You don't have crazy, out of 173 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: control crime like you do in La New York City. 174 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: You had COVID in all the states. It's about who 175 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: is running the state and if laws are enforced and 176 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: what the policies are. In Florida, I know or a 177 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: fact they're building like crazy. They're building unprecedented levels of 178 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: construction going on here in La. They're not all right 179 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: when we come back A keyword. Yeah. This is the 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: last week of the contest to KFI cash refail contest 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: who shot at a thousand dollars kf I Am six 182 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio. All Right, Well, one of 183 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: the big stories this week is that people are taking 184 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: a look at their natural gas bills and they're about 185 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: to faint, or have a heart attack or get completely angry. Apparently, 186 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: there have been an incredible overwhelming number of calls to 187 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: so Cal Gas from people who just don't understand. Maybe 188 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: they haven't been following the news that this was coming. 189 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: We're going to play you first, though, a story that 190 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: probably tops most when it comes to high a gas 191 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: natural gas bills. This is from NBC reporter Newshah Rasta. 192 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: For thirty years now, Hapoo Restaurant in Chinatown has been 193 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: part of Judy Sen's family and the downtown LA community. 194 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: Bust in silence. Judy says she and her husband ran 195 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: it together, but he recently passed away, so now she 196 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: does it all alone. Judy's afraid she'll have to close 197 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: the business down, though, because of a massively high gas 198 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: bill she just received from SoCal Gas. What's they had? 199 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: According to Judy, she got hit with a January gas 200 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: bill for more than thirteen thousand dollars this month. Usually, 201 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: Judy says the bill is between five to six thousand dollars. 202 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: She was shocked when she saw it and doesn't know 203 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: how she's going to afford it. Last month, SoCal Gas 204 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: issued a notice to consumers saying there is no easy 205 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: way to put this. January bills are likely to be 206 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: shockingly high, increasing to the tune of one hundred and 207 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: twenty eight percent since December. The utility partially blamed an 208 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: unprecedented cold snap across the nation for the spike in 209 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: natural gas prices. Meanwhile, Judy's daughter Mary posted a snap 210 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: shot of their gas bill on social media, asking friends 211 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: and family to support the restaurant to help pay it down. 212 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: So Cal Gas says it does have some programs meant 213 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: to help consumers with those high bills. One time grant, 214 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: for example, for the amount of your bill, but that's 215 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: only up to one hundred dollars. And then there is 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: another option to get twenty percent off your monthly bills. 217 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: But of course eligibility for these programs depends on your 218 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: income and the number of people who live in your home. 219 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: All right, that's from NBC for yeah, And normally their 220 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: bills is like five thousand because restaurants tend to use 221 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: a lot of gas in their cooking, which is part 222 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: of another subject we've been covering lately. You know, some 223 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: of this goes back to the war, not just gas 224 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: in your car, but natural gas in your home. You 225 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: can't you can't marginalize this too much. You can't say 226 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: that this doesn't matter, because it does. In the state 227 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: of California. These are the two things that they have 228 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: been chasing after getting rid of for a long time, 229 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: and that's you driving your gas powered automobile. And now 230 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: natural gas is the new one. Front and center. They have, 231 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: they have a playbook because of this stupid adult that 232 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 1: runs the state and the criminals and the legislature. What 233 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: they do is they pass all kinds of laws that 234 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: restrict or discourage the drilling for natural gas and oil, 235 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: the production of it, and the use of it, which 236 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: drives drives the rates up like crazy. I mean, I 237 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: think electricity is now sixty seven percent higher than the 238 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: rest of the country. You know, the gas prices are 239 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: often a dollar to two dollars higher than the rest 240 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: of the country. And this is by choice, this is 241 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: what the legislature and the governor chooses to do. Creates 242 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: all kinds of messes and imbalances and supply and demand issues. 243 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: And then when the prices shoot to the moon and 244 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: people start screaming, here it comes Newsome and his empty 245 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: head and he goes, well, we're going to investigate here, 246 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: maybe the gas prices rights gouging. Going on his response 247 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: to everything, and that's part of the game they play. 248 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: The first thing to do when you're not looking is 249 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: restrict the availability of gas and oil right right down 250 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: to banning or severely taxing companies that produce oil and gas. 251 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: And then the second thing to do is, after you've 252 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: made a mess in the marketplace, you go on to 253 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: step three, which is to blame the energy companies for 254 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: the problem. Now, the problem is being caused by Newsom 255 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: and the Democratic legislature. They've been at this collectively for 256 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: over twenty years now. No, it's all on them. They're 257 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: getting what they wanted. They want you to pay this 258 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: much so you stop using everything. Yeah, I don't think 259 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: it's a coincidence. It's just a couple of weeks ago 260 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: from the FEDS came this report that they wanted to 261 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: get rid of the natural gas doves in homes. This 262 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: is the hot new topic among the climate freed people. 263 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: It is natural gas, that's what they're chasing after. Now. 264 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a coincidence. It's suddenly bills in 265 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: California or spic Again, we're told to California imports ninety 266 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: percent of its natural gas. The same problem we have 267 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: with gasoline that goes in your car. And there was 268 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: a problem with a pipeline in Texas, and there's a 269 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: problem with storage and the Western region and the stored 270 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: natural gas reserves are lower, and blah blah blah. An 271 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: intelligent country builds more than one pipeline from one of 272 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: its largest states to another one of its largest states. 273 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: We have one pipeline that goes from West Texas to California. 274 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: Why don't we have to so this way. If there's 275 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: one pipeline problem that you've got some maintenance issues or 276 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: damage or whatever, the excuse of the day is, you 277 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: have a second one to pick up the slack. You 278 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: certainly are making enough money. Now we've heard there's record 279 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: profits that the oil and gas industry has had all 280 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: this past year. So why don't they both The government 281 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: doesn't let them build it even if they wanted to. 282 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And now your next bill is supposed to drop I 283 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: guess significantly, is what they're saying. Some of the crunches 284 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: off and the natural gas supply. But don't kid yourself. 285 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Just like electricity and gasoline for your car, this is 286 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: going to continue to be the trend in the state 287 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: of California because of this incredible obsession with climate change. 288 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: It's going to affect all these things. And of course 289 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: moving towards electricity's going to affect that. It's going to 290 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: run those prices. I want to I'd love to see 291 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: how people voted, you know, the people who are complaining 292 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: now I see all these sob stories here in the 293 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: La Times about this elderly couple, the Chinese restaurant owners, 294 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: this family here, a family there. Who'd you vote for? 295 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: Now you're whining, like, do you pay attention to what 296 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: the newsom's politics are? To shut down oil and gas production, 297 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: to shut down the use of oil and gasoline, that's 298 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: what he's devoting his life too, and every moment, nearly 299 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: everybody in the legislator, legislature, or what do you do? 300 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: You vote for them, you give him a job, and 301 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: then you pay them for it with your tax money. Well, 302 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen?

Well, 322 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: we were just talking about the population drop in the 323 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: state of California. That's often just blamed on, you know, 324 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: high housing prices and the high cost of living, but 325 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: there's other factors that go into this. And one of 326 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: the things that's really taken off in the last several 327 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: years is catalytic converter theft. In fact, as I mentioned 328 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: last year on the show, it happened right in front 329 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: of my house.

Yeah, must 335 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: be a pain they in the neck. Well, every now 336 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: and then, though, things don't work out for thieves when 337 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: they commit crimes. Here's the report from k CAL News 338 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: reported Kara Finstrom detective saying that a woman came to 339 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: this strip mall parking lot and pulled into one of 340 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: these spots. Here was sleeping inside of her vehicle. Actually, 341 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: when another car pulled up next to it went underneath. 342 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: One of the men jumped out of that vehicle, went 343 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: underneath and was sawing off her catalytic converter. Take a look. 344 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: Yesterday detectives began investigating this. They came here. They say 345 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: the woman wasn't a four by four Ford Excursion and 346 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: the sawing noise is what woke her up. She turned 347 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: her car on, put it in reverse, and they say, 348 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: sadly felt a bump beneath the car. She called nine 349 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: one one for help, but the man police now consider 350 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: a grand theft suspect. He died at the hospital. Now 351 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: the three other people who were with him, they are 352 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: in custody. One man's shopping in this strip mall this 353 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: morning told us he recently had the catalytic converter stolen 354 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: off of his truck. And no, times are hard, but 355 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: it shouldn't even come to that point where you know 356 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: you're doing that to somebody and all of a sudden, 357 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: now you lose your life. Now your family and friends 358 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: are lost because of what you were trying to do. 359 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: Trying to steal something from somebody else, So that's unfortunate. 360 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: And data from a national insurance group JESS that this 361 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: has gone up these type of thefts by twelve hundred 362 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: percent in recent years. So they say take precautions, park 363 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: in areas that are well lit. Also, one of the 364 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: other things you can do, your car alarm can be 365 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: set so that if the car shakes, it will actually 366 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: go off, and they say that would be very helpful 367 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: in these situations if you believe you're at high risk 368 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: for having that piece store. Anybody's at high risk. I 369 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: think they do. I think they focus on certain makes 370 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: and models of cars. The one line I disagree with 371 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: there when she said, sadly the car rolled over the 372 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: guys stealing, that's not sad. You know a few more 373 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: of those and that might cut the catalytic converter theft 374 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: rate down a bit. And think about how two things 375 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: kind of came together here because we've had a problem 376 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: with people sleeping and living in their cars. I don't 377 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: think this woman was, but she was sleeping in the 378 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: car at six pm on a shopping center parking lot. Yeah, 379 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of That's what I thought too. Is this 380 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: the ultimate Southern California story. Homeless woman sleeping in her 381 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: car gets her catalytic catalytic converter stolen, and then she 382 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: rolls over and kills the guy, and the jolt of 383 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: it causes her to roll over and kill it and 384 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: crush the guy. I think that sums up life in 385 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: Southern California right now very well. They uh, yeah, that's 386 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: the hot crime in the last several years, only because 387 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: it's very fast. There's one guy that works with the tool, 388 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: another guy kind of acts as the lookout. It's the 389 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: copper in there, right, Yeah, I guess I think that's 390 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: what I heard. It's the copper in the catalytic converter. 391 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: When you were telling me that's why the a lot 392 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 1: of the overhead street lamps on the freeways are dark 393 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: is because Stieve stole the copper wall. That was a 394 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: listener who chimed in that that's what it was. I 395 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: don't know that that's the case. Because you you complained 396 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: one day that all the street lights are out. I've 397 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: been noticing more and more a lot of them are out. 398 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: A lot of them are out on main roads and 399 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: on freeways. We found out with the catalytic converters. That 400 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: there was some big top shop in New Jersey where 401 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: the people send them and then they get a cut 402 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: from whatever metals and materials are taken from the stolen 403 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: catalytic converters. It's a really high end business for the 404 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: people that act as collecting the catalytic converters. Yeah, because 405 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: Steve's a cut they get away with there's no consequence. 406 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: They make money doing this and they're not thrown in 407 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: jail around here. I texted you guys this weekend about 408 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: my mom getting her stolen, that's right. Yeah. And then 409 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: so she drives a Prius and there's a four to 410 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: five months back order from Toyota, so she's stuck without 411 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: a car basically for four to five months. Right now, 412 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: you can drive it right or it's it's really bad 413 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: to drive without one though. It makes a lot of 414 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: noise and the emissions from the cars it's not good. 415 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: Where was it stolen? So she works at a mall 416 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: in Woodland Hills and she was literally in the mall 417 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: parking lot, which is you have to pay to get 418 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: in and their security and everything. She was parked on 419 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: the top floor and while she was at someone snagged 420 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: it from under her car. She comes out after work 421 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: and boom, it's gone. And it's the size of something 422 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: you can easily run off with. Yoh, yeah, it's very tiny. Yeah, 423 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: it just takes a quick and that woman in the 424 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: story was woken up by the sound. It's quite a 425 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: little buzz saw that they use, Like it's some sort 426 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: of a little electric saw, something like that. I heard 427 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: it from I was three floors up, but I could 428 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: hear it. I'm like, what is that weird sound? I 429 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: thought it was like a utility crew working on something. 430 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: I said, really at three in the morning, and I 431 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: looked out and I said, I know, there's two guys 432 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: down there working on a car. They were trying to 433 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: take that kettle of a converter. I love the pointless 434 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: public service announcement the reporter through in two Well make 435 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: sure you park your car where it's well lit, doesn't 436 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: make it. It's the same thing they tell us about 437 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: if you don't want to get rob down the street, 438 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: don't wear the flashy watch, right, don't wear your eye 439 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: a jewelry. Right. It's all about us now. I have 440 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: to take precautions to make sure that the creeds they 441 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: allow out on the streets. Don't rip us off. Now, 442 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: was your mother, sir converter stolen during the day or 443 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: at night? I honestly, I don't know what time of 444 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: day it was. She was working all day. She worked 445 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: an eight hour shift that day. Yeah, they steal all 446 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: day and night. It doesn't matter where you park or 447 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: what time you park. I mean if you're in a 448 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: in a gated parking lot on the top floor with 449 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: security and the thing still gets stolen and there, then 450 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,239 Speaker 1: you also send a story that someone stole the cat 451 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: converter off the Oscar my Er Weena but Meal, Yes, 452 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I did.

Yeah, you have to pay to 458 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: park there for if you get flowers free or something 459 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: like an hour and a half free and then you 460 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: have to pay after that. But whatever, I guess the thieves, yeah, 461 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: because just be security cameras in there somewhere too. You 462 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: would think, Yeah, we my parents filed the police report, 463 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: and the mall will have to turn over the security 464 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: camera tape and all of that. That does a lot 465 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: of good. Finally a police report. Yeah, exactly, that guy's 466 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: already in New Jersey.

The city council 471 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: there in their decision to tell people that you cannot 472 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: camp in public spaces in that city, and they're really 473 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: concerned about the fact that LA's homelessness emergency means that 474 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: nothing will happen except they'll move people on and they'll 475 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: head over to Culver City, which apparently is bounded on 476 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: all sides by the City of Los Angeles. So they're 477 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: trying to act ahead of this to make sure that 478 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: people don't just come over to the Culver City side 479 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: of the border and PLoP down there for the long term. 480 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that in the two o'clock hour. 481 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of the homeless. At least, this story is not 482 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: coming from California. But it's making news today and you 483 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: and I have seen this for ourselves at LAX, but 484 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: apparently a Chicago's O'Hare airport, we have real homeless encampments 485 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: that have been formed. The pictures are unbelievable, disgusting, sleeping 486 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: bags and bicycles. One guy just lying in the middle 487 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: of a walkway and this is indoors. Still, this is 488 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: not outside in the sidewalk of O'Hare, this is inside. 489 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: One guy with his pants all pulled down and lying 490 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: in the doorway.

He's an older guy too, Or 493 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: he might be adjusting, you know. Sometimes I don't think, yeah, 494 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: he's adjusting, just a junk adjusting that's in manipulation mode there. 495 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. These shocking photos show makeshift shelters set up 496 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: inside the terminals.

Custodian it works, 498 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: there is saying it's out of control. None of us 499 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: feel safe. You may wonder how do they end up 500 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: at the airports? Well, I'm an expert on Chicago, but 501 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: I think the trains probably they do. And it's the 502 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: same problem that Long Beach has had, where the homeless 503 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: are getting off the train that starts in downtown Los 504 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: Angeles in and the ends of the line is Long 505 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: Beach and they just PLoP down there because I'm told 506 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: that's it, we got to go clean the train and 507 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: get out. In an intelligence, civilized society, they would not 508 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: be led on the train because they're bringing all their 509 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: possessions with them. So if a guy's, you know, carrying 510 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: a tent with him, you shouldn't be letting him on 511 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: the train. I don't understand there's like no enforcement here. No, 512 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: it's because these are elaborate. Here's one little corner because 513 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: sometimes they're mistaken for people who have a flight that 514 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: got delayed or canceled, so they just kind of sleep 515 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: on a bench or on the floor. I think you 516 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: could tell by the owner whether it's somebody is delayed. 517 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: I've had that at LAX. I figured out the difference. First, 518 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: I thought, oh, these people just got caught like a 519 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: weather delay and they're stuck here for a day. No. Yeah, 520 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: Then I look closer and I said, now that doesn't 521 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: look like let's disgust there. You know, it's because Chicago 522 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: is run just as badly as Los Angeles. It's all 523 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: the same people. They're all stupid anarchist, wokehead progressives. And 524 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: they're also lazy. They're lazy. They don't, they don't, they don't. 525 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: They're not interesting doing the work and cleaning everything up 526 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: now right, Because they clean these people up, what are 527 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: they gonna do with them? You know, what they ought 528 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: to do is put about a bus in the send 529 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: them down south somewhere where it's warm at least. And 530 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: this started a firestorm of people posting pictures on social 531 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: media and complaining to the Chicago mayor, Lorie Lightfoot, because 532 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: not only are they sleeping in camping there, they're getting 533 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: in people's faces and some of the women say they're fought. 534 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: They're getting followed by Lorrie Lightfoot is a crazy person. 535 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: Her approval rating is about twenty five percent in Chicago. 536 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: What's her next election? Her next election is coming up 537 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: very soon. But they've all got all these other nutting 538 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: candidates running, so she could she could win a plurality? 539 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: Oh because you had to split the voter, Yeah, yeah, 540 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: because because all of I read a column the other 541 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: day about the la the Chicago candidates and they're all bad. 542 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: The writer said, all these people are terrible. It's just 543 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: degrees of terrible now because you think about it. The 544 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: airport's not a bad place to hide for the vagrants 545 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: because it's warm there and you kind of kind of 546 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: blend in with all the other strangers. You know, not 547 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: the way these people are. You know what you just 548 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: have to have. You just have to say no to 549 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: all of this, just saying no, you can't stay here. 550 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: Either find a way on your own, will pay you 551 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: bus fare, or you know you're gonna get arrested. That's 552 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: what That's the only way to do it. This is 553 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: this is not debatable because we had the whole process 554 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: down for a couple of hundred years. You can't live 555 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: in a public space and if you don't move voluntarily, 556 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: then we're going to arrest you and we'll put you 557 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: on a bus. There's nobody has a better solution. There 558 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: never will be a better solution, yep. Because you're not 559 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: building a home for everybody. That's obviously not happening, and 560 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: anything you give these people they'll destroy it anyway. This 561 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: isn't going to happen in airports in Idaho and Iowa 562 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: and places like that. It always happens with these big 563 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: progressive run cities. You think this going on much is tolerated. 564 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: You think this goes on in Germany. Enforcement or hear 565 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: that again, say no enforcements. You know those people can 566 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: All it does is move people on. Yeah, exactly, that's 567 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: that's not councilman City in Culver City said the other day, 568 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: And I said, that's exactly the idea. Yeah, if you 569 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: keep getting moved on enough, you'll decide it's not worth 570 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: the trouble of doing this, and you'll figure out another 571 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: way to live your life rather than plopping down in 572 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: a park or on a sidewalk, you know. And if 573 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: they have to be moved on, and if they don't 574 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: figure it out and they just waste away in the 575 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: park or waste away you know, and some vacant lots somewhere, 576 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: what do we lose here? Huh? How much money are 577 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: we going to spect? You know, there's a lot of 578 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: lives out there where people are trying to do better 579 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: and they have obstacles because their family doesn't have much money, 580 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: or they were born in a bad neighborhood, or maybe 581 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: somebody in the family got sick. Right, there are worthy 582 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: people who are trying to get out of trouble, out 583 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: of poverty, and make something of their lives. Any money 584 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: we have to help helps people like that. I don't 585 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: want to help people like this. It's a money pit. 586 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: It's a waste hole, all right. They're not going to 587 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: get any better, and no one wants to accept that 588 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: they're not going to get any better. And this is 589 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: all a black hole to waste money in. Give the 590 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: money to people who get up in the morning actually 591 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: want to do something, but they have some kind of 592 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: life circumstance that prevents them from getting to their goal. 593 00:31:53,760 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: Help them out, don't help this out. Le's doings. Yeah, 594 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: you're you're gonna come up with the magic formula to 595 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: get them off meth. Certually possible to get people off meth. 596 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: And by time you do, their brains are so damaged 597 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: they're non functional anyway, So what kind of here are you? 598 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: But you know what, you know what, it's a great 599 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: business to get into the nonprofit world and set up 600 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: a nonprofit and make hundreds of thousands of dollars and 601 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: tell people that I'm compassionate, and you're not and just 602 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: act really self righteous and pompous about your compassion and wisdom. 603 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: That's what this racket is. In fact, I'm suspect of 604 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: all nonprofits down the homeless industry, just all of them. 605 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: I figured they're they're a rip off until proven otherwise. Yeah, 606 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: I do think, and I think it just takes longer 607 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: than we expected that a lot of Californians are waken 608 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: up and realizing that the way that they are handling 609 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: this homeless problem is completely wrong and it's only worth 610 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: sending the problem. They haven't figured out the specifics of 611 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: it yet, but they're aware that it's not working and 612 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: they have to start changing some of the ways they 613 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: manage this. And they know that there's a lot of 614 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: money spent. The funny catching onto that and I seeing 615 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: that the results are zero, it's six years billions of dollars. 616 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: You have more homeless. Why do we have more homeless? 617 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: Because they come in from all over the country. Why 618 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: do they come from all over the country because they 619 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: heard that there's no laws here. They can do whatever 620 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: they want in public, and there's plenty of laws here, 621 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: but not when it comes to being homeless. Yeah, it's 622 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: no chase after people that they have a job, make 623 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: money and pay taxes for all sorts of picking things. 624 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: But they don't do anything about people PLoP down in 625 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: a park. I just read another story today about some city, 626 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: and forget which one in California. They can't keep up 627 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: with the homeless influx. No matter what they do. There's 628 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: more coming in. Well, yeah, there's more coming in because 629 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: you keep giving away free stuff to people. As long 630 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: as you're giving away free stuff, there's no consequences, no 631 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: law enforce, you're just going to get more and more 632 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: of these bodies. We also never had meth like we 633 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: have now. We never had fenton the like we have now. 634 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: That's something new. Yeah, so you know, again that's a 635 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: matter of hey, we have a wide open border. We 636 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: don't prosecute for drug crimes in the state very much. Well, 637 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: there you go. This is all self inflicted. This this awe. 638 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: Just by enforcing existing law would take a big bite 639 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: out of this and telling people though it stopped voting 640 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: for anybody who smells like a progressive that. I don't 641 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: know if that's going to happen quick enough. But you know, 642 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: the only small thing that happened was in your council 643 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 1: district where Bonnen was decided to go to the bench 644 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: and his hand picked replacement the same ideology lost. You know, 645 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: we got there, something small, but something happened. We gotta 646 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: start my c park won that council seat there. We're 647 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna start stigmatizing progressives, all right. They're they're bad for us, 648 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: They're bad for society. They are a cancer on our society. 649 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: That guy said the other day. They're not progressive, they're extremists. Yeah, 650 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: and that's a good word to marginalize somebody. Extremists. That 651 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: means it's just not something I want to deal with 652 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 1: their way out there and their thoughts and their ideologies. 653 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: It's another piece of brilliant marketing. They take a word 654 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: that's supposed to designate something positive, like progress, and they 655 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: turn it into something that actually destroys our way of life, 656 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: and everybody goes, oh, they're so progressive.
