Okay, So we got this crazy story 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: coming out of Los Angeles City Fire Department on Friday. 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: Video that gwent viral over the weekend shows what appears 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: to be three LA City firefighters beating the crap out 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: of a homeless man. I U, I saw this. This 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: guy was trying to break into the fire station. Yeah. Now, 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: officials say that he was caught breaking in and he 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: actually got inside to the secure area, most likely because 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: those long metal gates, you know, it takes a while 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: from close and people can sneak into those things all 41 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: the time, but it's important to seeing we're talking about 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: fire Station six. It's at three twenty six North Virgil 43 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: Avenue in Silver Lake, and right adjacent to it is 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: a dead end street where there's a big homeless camp 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: that's pretty much set up shop there and this guy 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: is well known by by people around that area. Apparently 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: he got into there and he was attempting to steal stuff, 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: though they wouldn't say what it was, but it is 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: tempting to go in there and start a rifle around 50 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: through stuff in the fire station, and that's when this 51 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: encounter happened. But what you don't see on the videotape 52 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: is what led up to that. That's what's always missing 53 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: from these videotapes is the context. We just see the aftermath. 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: I had been told by officials now with LAPD, some 55 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: sources over there have said that this guy's been on 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: their radar for a while. He does have violent tendencies. 57 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Neighbors in the area over there and business owners have 58 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: said the guys known for throwing bottles at people and 59 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: attacking people and attacking other homeless people. So they've got 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: they kind of had an issue and so whatever happened 61 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: and whatever led up to the three firefighters getting physical 62 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: with him is the issue. They were in such a frenzy. 63 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: It seems like something must have triggered them. It looked 64 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: like so much adrenaline was pumping there that they perceived 65 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: a threat. That's what it looked like to me. Well, 66 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: and you kind of remember something. These are not LAPD officers. 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: They're not trained for hand to hand combat. They're not 68 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: trained for physical attacks and how to defend themselves and 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: how to respond. And if this guy is everything that 70 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: the other homeless folks and neighbors and witnesses have said 71 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: he is, then yeah, it's very possible that he did 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: something to spark that response. Not defending the actions of 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: the firefighters, we just don't have the whole story. We 74 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: don't have the complete picture. They got so bad that 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: the La City Fire Department had done something that I 76 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: had not known them to do, and that was a 77 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: request to judge to give them a restraining order against 78 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: this individual. I had never heard of that before. No, no no, no. 79 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: As a result of the so because that's how frequently 80 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: that this guy's had interactions with that with firefighters in 81 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: that fire station, so now he was taken into custody 82 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: that afternoon and put on what they call of fifty 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: one fifty hold, and that's the Health and Safety Code 84 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: of fifty one fifty put someone into a mandatory seventy 85 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: two our mental health evaluation if they're perceived to be 86 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: a harm to themselves, to others, or if they're in 87 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: great bodily or you know, great physical distress. Now the 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: firefighters face action. Yeah, there is a criminal investigation open. 89 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: LAPD is now looking into it because of the physicality 90 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: of it. And then you've got, of course, the administrative 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: investigation being done by the La City Fire Department and 92 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: they're all three on admin leave right now. Right, Well, 93 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: the TV story says that he wears a wig this 94 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: Homeless game. Yeah, I guess that's something he's known to do, 95 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: and some of a strange wig or just it looks 96 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: just like a like a black wig with I'm in 97 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: black hair and just just's like a look like a 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson leig kind of a weird looking like Michael 99 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: Jackson used to wear with a straight hair or whatever. Right, 100 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: So it's not I'm not you know, I don't know 101 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: much about the guy's story. I don't know anything about 102 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: him other than what again, witnesses and people they haven't 103 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: said what the homeless guy might have done. Not yet. No, 104 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: And the other thing that I'm trying to find out 105 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: is whether or not there's surveillance footage from inside. Because 106 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: the video that you're seeing, the recording you're seeing, is 107 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: coming from somebody shooting it on their phone from across 108 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: the street. It looks as though an elevated position, like 109 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: an apartment or something like that, noticed it. So you're 110 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: you're missing the context of what led up to that. 111 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: So maybe there's going to be some surveillance video from 112 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: the fire station's perspective in the bay, or right at 113 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: the door, or right in that back parking lot. I 114 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: believe they have surveillance cameras out there. I'm still trying 115 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: to confirm that if they. If they do, then maybe 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: we'll have a bigger or more complete picture of what happened. Yeah. 117 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: One neighbor says that this guy's a troublemaker. He throws 118 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: bottles in the middle of the street, he throws him 119 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: against cars. He's always fighting with the other homeless. It's 120 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: quite the encampments there, Yeah, right there, adjacent to the 121 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: fire station. There's a dead end street and then there's 122 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: like a tree line, a bit of a tree line 123 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: that looks like in a butts up next to a 124 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: freeway or another street of some kind, and there's a 125 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: chainlink fence and it's surrounded by trees, and then you've 126 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: got tents and stuff up there. So it's like this 127 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: dead end zone and this guy's been creating a lot 128 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: of chaos for so and again, these firefighters, I don't 129 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: know if they had just had it with this guy 130 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: or exact way yeah, or because he might have thrown 131 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: something at him, because they just just just the intensity 132 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: of the reaction. It wasn't like they saw him and no, 133 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: there was something something laid up to that, up to that, right, 134 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: They didn't just run over there and start. And that's 135 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: what happens with these home videos. You pull out your 136 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: camera right when you hear noise, and you aim it 137 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: at the altercation, but you're already too late. Whatever set 138 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: set the stage, you never got on, right, That's what 139 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying When when people react to these videos, I 140 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: just shake my head because it's like the one thing 141 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: always missing from these videos as context, Right, All right, Well, 142 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: when you find out more. Guy, thanks here all right, 143 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Steve Gregory, you don't have any golden mics, but the 144 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: viral video of a homeless man being pummeled by firefighters 145 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: in Silver Lake. They say he was trying to break 146 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: into the station. But from what we understand, if a 147 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: neighbors say, he's a constant, constant threat. When we come back, 148 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: The New York Post got a jailhouse interview with the 149 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: man who ran on stage and attacked Dave Chappelle at 150 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: the Hollywood Bowl. And you know he was triggered. Yeah, 151 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: that's why he did it. John and Ken show. A 152 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: lot of people have migrated to the app now many 153 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: many are listening on streaming and many are listening to 154 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: the podcast. Well, the sensational story from a couple of 155 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: weeks ago is the attack on Dave Chappelle, the comedian, 156 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: while he was on stage at the Hollywood Bowl. And 157 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: you know it's the interview everybody wanted, the jailhouse interview 158 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: with the attacker, alleged attacker, a man by the name 159 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: of Isaiah Lee. The New York Post got it. They 160 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: let him babble on about why he was there and 161 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: why he did what he did. And in the end, 162 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: he said he was triggered by Dave Chappelle's jokes about 163 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: the LGBT community, TQ community, and homelessness. He never wanted 164 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: to hurt Dave Chappelle, but he wanted to send a message. 165 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: He didn't want to hurt Dave Chappelle. He wants Chappelle 166 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: to be more sensitive when it comes to the because 167 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: he says he was never going to take that knife out. Oh, 168 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: we don't know that he already didn't he already try 169 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: to kill somebody else. No, he denies that too. He 170 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: actually said to his lawyer said, in courts, show the evidence. 171 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: Well that's coming. That wasn't developments week. Okay, just just 172 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: wait a few minutes and they'll get the evidence. Then 173 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: got charged in a stunner on Friday with trying to 174 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: attack another guy in a transitional housing apartment. So how 175 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: about we're not believing Isaiah Lee when he says he 176 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: didn't intend to blank? All right, maybe maybe he's not 177 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: a reliable witness to identify as bisexually said, I wanted 178 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: him to know what he said was triggering. See this though, 179 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: if we're going to take him at his word, because 180 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to know that next time you should consider 181 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: first running his material by people that could affect you. 182 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: Know what, I don't know if I believe him. He 183 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: just may be a violent nutbag. But let's take him 184 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: at his word. This is the logical extension because this 185 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: whackle progressive crowd has made words to be they consider 186 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: more dangerous than actions. They get more angry if you 187 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: use if you use some kind of racial insult, then 188 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: they get over all. The young black minority men who 189 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: are killed in murders, they never talk about that, right, 190 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: they talk about the rare police instance, but they don't 191 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: talk about the violence which victimizes a lot of young 192 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: black men. But if somebody says something about a young 193 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: black man, well then there's all kinds of screaming and 194 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: yelling at arm waving. So clearly the progressives do not 195 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: value life as much as they value language. So obviously 196 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: somebody's going to take that to mean, well, if Dave 197 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: Chappelle says says words that he finds insulting or uncomfortable, 198 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: then he has to be physically punished. Because what I'm 199 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: doing and punishing physically is not as bad as his words. 200 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: Is joke that it made Chappelle speaking of what you 201 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: were talking about, was talking about somebody named a Baby. 202 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, but I think it's 203 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: a rapper. Yeah, he's a rapper and he must be LGBTQ. 204 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Is that true. No, he's actually in some hot water 205 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: with that community as well. Oh, you're gonna have to 206 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: translate for us. I will do my best. Now, then 207 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: the joke doesn't make as much sense. A lot of 208 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community doesn't know to Baby's history. He's a 209 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: wild guy. He once shot a N word and killed 210 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: him in a walmart. This is true. Google it. Nothing 211 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: bad has happened to his career. Oh, I see, But 212 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: then he says that would makes sense. Now I'm reading 213 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: the whole thing. He's got the same But now he's 214 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: in more trouble because he said something that could hurt 215 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: a gay person's feelings. Right, he said points in our country, 216 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: you can shoot and kill an N word, but you 217 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: better not hurt a gay person's feelings. It's just it's 218 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: the same point. It's it's like making a joke, insulting somebody. 219 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: That's like a felony actually hurting or killing somebody. They 220 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: shrug at it the progressives. So if this guy's telling 221 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: the truth, it makes sense, I say. Alie said, he 222 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: just really was going to the concert to have a 223 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: good time, but he got triggered and he just got 224 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: carried away and ran on stage. I'm a single dad. 225 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: My son is five. Oh, that's sad. It's a struggle, 226 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: and I wanted Dave Chappelle to know. It's no joke. 227 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: That's no he's you know what, he's insane. Nobody rushes. 228 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: And by the way, he was in there for a while. 229 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: He crept up, remember into the VIP area. He kind 230 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: of cased out the VIP area. He went over one barrier, 231 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: then he jumped over a second barrier. So it wasn't 232 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: because he was triggered by a joke. It's because he's 233 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: crazy and he wanted to do this, and maybe he 234 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: does it. It's not like a Chappelle told a joke 235 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: and suddenly he was overwhelmed with fury. He kind of 236 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: slowly wormed his way in. Yeah, and besides, what did 237 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: the other guy that he tried to kill? What did 238 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: that guy do? He claimed he was molested at age 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: seventeen while under the care of the Department of Children 240 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: and Family Services, and he said that he was trying 241 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: to find a place to live. He's a homeless guy too, Yeah, 242 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: I remember. Yeah, the arrest that they made. He was 243 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: in transitional housing and some apartment with another man that 244 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: he allegedly stabbed transition. He denies that he has any 245 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: mental health issues. And what the lawyer says, he is 246 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: getting mental health services because that's going to be his defense. 247 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: Does anyone who's mentally ill do they ever admit to 248 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: being mentally ill? I think it's rare. Most people take medication, 249 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: you do admit it. No, most people think they're fine. Um. Yeah, 250 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: he said that, what is this other part? Um? This 251 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: part doesn't make any sense. Okay, he's a want to 252 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: be rapper. Yeah, by the name of no name trapper. 253 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: He doesn't regret what happened because he sought as an 254 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to speak out about homelessness, LGBTQ, right, child sex 255 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: abuse topics that often serve as fodder for comedians. These 256 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: are these are not coincidences. Yeah, this happens right after 257 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: the Will Smith thing. It's now somebody makes a joke. 258 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: You don't like it, go ahead, whack him in the face. 259 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: He was inspired by that. By the way, he admits 260 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: he was inspired by the Will Smith slap rocket. I 261 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: hadn't seen that. What's that. I hadn't seen that. I 262 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: didn't know that. Yeah, this is a story. Oh it's 263 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: running today. It looks like the Post is breaking this 264 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: into pieces. They're running another edition today. Oh okay, well 265 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: that's gonna be Will Smith's legacy is became open season 266 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: on committee and comedians telling jokes. Yeah, here's what Lee 267 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: said that's not right with Chris Rock said about his 268 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: wife calling her gi Jane. Smith was standing up for 269 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: his wife during the infamous Comedians were starting to survive 270 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: the cancelations. So the first attempt was you just try 271 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: to ruin their career, and nobody's career is really ruined 272 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: for very long because you end up with a bigger following. 273 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: More people want to go see you because you're willing 274 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: to say bold things, right, because that's that makes it 275 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: even funnier when you're saying something that's supposed to be taboo. 276 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: So the cancelation didn't work. So now what you have 277 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: to do is just take the guy out. You know, 278 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: now they're they're they're punching or tackling someone's going to 279 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: get shot. It's going to be the next step, because 280 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: that's the world the progressives have made. Speech has to 281 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: be shut down, and it's whatever it takes, anything goes. Yeah. 282 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: He appeared in court on Friday for that alleged stabbing 283 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: of the transitional housing roommate from December. People don't remember 284 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: that story. Apparently that man saw Lee on the news 285 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: and recognized him as his attacker from December. They didn't 286 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: know each other. They were just thrown into some transitional housing. 287 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: So the guy that got stabbed didn't even know the 288 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: name of the person that stabbed him, but he remembered 289 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: his face. Here's your new room mate. So well, that's 290 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: what happens in transitional housing. They just throw people together. 291 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: That's why a lot of the homeosts don't want to 292 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: go there. I know, but we're stuck. We're not building 293 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: everybody eight hundred thousand dollars partners, No, not happening. You 294 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: know what, desert it's the solution to everything, taken to 295 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: the desert. You know who said that? And I just 296 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: found this out Karen Bass. Oh, she did well, she said, 297 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: because we got an email here from some Lancaster city 298 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: council member. She made some comment about sending them to Lancaster. Yes, 299 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what forum that was in or when, 300 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: but he took her fence and he was challenging her release. 301 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: Oh I wonder if that's on audio somewhere. Yeah, I should. 302 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: The whole quote was in the article, but it was 303 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: she mentions landcasters. I'll look it up see if I 304 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: could find something. By the way, her her TV commercials 305 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: are so flat and bland. I mean, she's not even trying. 306 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: Whoever was putting together her TV seen them yet I 307 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: saw one twice and I paid attention to it. And 308 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: it starts off with her when she was I don't know, 309 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: twenty something years old working in a health facility, some 310 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: kind of intern. And then she talks about her career 311 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: and how she runs towards problems and how she got 312 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: funding for this or got funding for that. It's all 313 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,479 Speaker 1: about getting funding. And I'm for USC and I'm willing 314 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: to take on whatever other people run away from controversies. 315 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: But I'm willing to take on controversies like homelessness. And 316 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: it was generic junk. Yes it was exactly that, but 317 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: there was just no oh to it. It was like 318 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: she was running to be I don't know, school board 319 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: member in a small town. Yeah, it was just treasure 320 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: or the school board or something. Yeah, it was just 321 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: oddly flat. I'm weird, all right. More coming up, John 322 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: and can Cafe. David old Steam, CBS two investigative reporter 323 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: will be joining us at five oh five. Another report 324 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: we think you might like to hear. Will also play 325 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: the preview. The report I think will air tonight and 326 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: then we can play it tomorrow. But it deals with 327 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: the homeless. It's these homeless agencies. They're throwing food out, 328 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: lots of food out into dumpsters, into the garbage. It 329 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: looks like it's lossa to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Agency, 330 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: which has been like the biggest money pit. In the preview, 331 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: I see some guy throwing boxes of food into a dumpster. 332 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: It's like, great, it's weird. We understand it. There were 333 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: no more hungry people that day ran a hungry people. 334 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: Not all right. You probably heard today that Newsom is 335 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: prattling on again about the drought and big restrictions coming. 336 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: He sat down last week with the San Francisco Chronicle 337 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: editorial board, and it's like reading the funny papers Newsome 338 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: is running for reelection to a second term as California governor, 339 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: which will last to twenty twenty six. Asked if he 340 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: would promise to voters that he wouldn't run for president 341 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: before the end of that term. He liked this. He 342 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: said he believes Vice President Kamala Harris should be the 343 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: next president after Biden. That didn't really answer the question, 344 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: but then he said, yeah, I mean, I have sub 345 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: zero interest. It's not even on my radar. First of all, 346 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: it's a complete lie. While because he's been trying to 347 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: attack Texas and Florida's governors and about all these other issues. 348 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: Everyone knows it's because he's positioning himself. He just did 349 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: that whole abortion show a couple of weeks ago. Somebody 350 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: went through his tweets in recent last couple of months. 351 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: Almost every one of them was about a national issue, 352 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: often involving Florida or Texas. Yeah, like everything's fixed here. Yeah, 353 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: I can focus on the rest of the country because 354 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: we got it made in California. Yeah, California is a 355 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: great job, all right. Eye, he's got nothing to say. 356 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: He's got nothing to say about about the tens of 357 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: thousands of homeless people dying in the streets. Nothing to 358 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: say about all the crime that's gone crazy, all the 359 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: prisoners on the loose. Nothing to say about the high 360 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: speed rail, a criminal operation that's costing us tens of 361 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: billions of dollars. Nothing to say on that. Nothing to 362 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: say about how come no reservoirs have been built by 363 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: the state in the last fifty years. Why is he 364 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: restricting water on us, but the farming companies can can 365 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: can take nearly all of it. We're using six percent 366 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: of the available water, residents six percent. A silly story. Yeah, 367 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: we're trying to ignore it. Oh, and he's got a 368 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: bunch of restrictions, I mean, no seriousness managing at the 369 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: marginsh We don't have water, we don't have energy. Right, 370 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: we're supposed to be getting blackhouts this year because he's 371 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: he's scurrying around trying to find more megawats of electricity. 372 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: So he's got to keep the nuclear plan open, he's 373 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: got to keep some of the gas powered plants open. 374 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: Such a failure, floundering, waving his arms, and he's writing 375 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: about what abortion law or whatever's going on in Florida. 376 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: It's like, it's wrong with you. You have a disaster 377 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: of a state. You have a disaster, a Titanic, a 378 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: Hindenburg period, full stop it. That's right. Yeah. The Wall 379 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: Street Journal did a pretty good editorial late last week 380 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: on Gavin Newsom's re election windfall. They call it California 381 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: beg for a federal COVID bailout and now has a 382 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: ninety eight billion dollars surplus. Yeah. Remember that. They're all 383 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: because at the beginning of the pandemic, the markets were 384 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: tanking a bit, maybe the first month or two, I 385 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: don't remember exactly, but at all of these governors who 386 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: was screening for federal money. Turns out that was another 387 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: overkill well issue that was covered to death. That helped 388 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: power inflation. They threw a couple more trillion dollars into 389 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: the economy. And now in California there's a hundred billion 390 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: sitting in the in the bank account and they don't 391 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: know how to do with it. And they won't give 392 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: us a tax refund on gas, no gas tax refund yets. 393 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: Yet they're still arguing about it. Says here Newsom wants 394 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: to pay unpaid utility bills. State electricity prices have searched 395 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: thirteen and a half percent this past year. They're twice 396 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: as high as in neighboring states thanks to green energy mandates. 397 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: Twice as high. That's what you're getting for all this 398 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: green power, twice as high rates, and the atmosphere is 399 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: not cooling at all. We've had no effect on the 400 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: world's atmosphere. So why do we have to pay double 401 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: the money? Why do we have to pay double the 402 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: money for nothing? We're getting nothing out of this. Why 403 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: why hasn't he challenged on this? Forty million people in California? 404 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: Nobody challenges him on this nonsense. They write that he's 405 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: budgeted seven un fifty million for mass transit agencies to 406 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: make trips free. Well, LA's metro stopped collecting farers during 407 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: the pandemic, which resulted more homeless people on subways and buses. 408 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: Many commuters are avoiding mass transit because it's dangerous and dirty. 409 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that seven hundred and fifty million people, 410 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: so psychotics and drug addicts can ride the trains all 411 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: day and night for free. They can live on the 412 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: trains as it goes up and back and up and back, 413 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 1: never have to even pay a fair not even like 414 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: two bucks, nothing and We're going to spend hundreds of 415 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to underwrite the transit system. Wow, is 416 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: that the most bone headed idea among all the bone 417 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: headed ideas? Spend hundreds of millions of dollars so crazy 418 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: people can run the trains and keep the rest of 419 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: us off the trains. Also, Newsom has allocated nineteen billion 420 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: to address the state's rising crime and homelessness. Most of 421 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: this money will fund subsidize housing, very little goats towards 422 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: fixing the underlying causes mental illness, substance abuse, and lacks 423 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: penalties for offenders. You don't, well, that's that line made 424 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: me crazy. He's spending all this money and nothing is 425 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: going for mental illness for drug addiction. That's the whole 426 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: issue there. The whole issue is mental illness and drug addiction, 427 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: and he's not spending money on that. I mean, he 428 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: should be forced out of office. That is, the people 429 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: are willing to spend the tax money. They're actively paying 430 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: the tax money. They voted to tax themselves more. But 431 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: they expected the money to go for mental health treatment 432 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: and drug treatment because everyone normal knows that's the problem. 433 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: And he won't spend the money on that. Why the 434 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: State Legislative Analysts Office is projecting a budget problem by 435 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty five and ninety five percent of 436 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: the ten thousand scenarios that they modeled. Well, of course, 437 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: because this is a one time windfall. Yeah, we have 438 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: the top point five percent of taxpayers paying forty percent 439 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: of the state income tax. Think about that, half a 440 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: percent are paying for it. So they have a bad year, 441 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: which is particularly two with capital gains, that's it. You 442 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: won't have a surplus. You're likely to have a deficit. 443 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: That could happen this year. Actually, the fiscal years run 444 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: July one, so I wouldn't be surprised if the fiscal 445 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: year it begins July first into June thirtieth of next year, 446 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: if there is not a significant drop in tax revenues. 447 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: Grab for the wealthy. All right, we got more coming up, 448 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: John and can k five All if you're talking to 449 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: David Goldstein, investigative reporter with the Channel two till nine, 450 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: and he's got a good one concerning throwing out food 451 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: meant for the homeless. He will preview the story, which 452 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: I believe we'll air it tonight, So we'll talk to 453 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: him at five oh five We told you a few 454 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: weeks ago that as earnings reports came out for many 455 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: US companies, one of the ones that took a real 456 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: hit and so did their stock price, was Netflix, and 457 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: apparently they have begun a round of layoffs. They just 458 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: laid off one hundred and fifty employees. Some are calling 459 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: it the woke purge because it says that a number 460 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: of them were working on shows for marginalized people. This 461 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: is all the stuff that would appear on screened and 462 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: you'd go, who the hell's gonna watch this? That's the 463 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: pregnant Man. The pregnant Man. Okay, I don't know what 464 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: that's about, but just from the title, I can guarantee 465 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: you I am not going to watch a show entitled 466 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 1: the pregnant Man. Well maybe it's a farest. It might 467 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: be funny, you know. Well, I'm gonna have to hear 468 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: lots of people saying this is the funniest thing in history. 469 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: According to one person on Twitter, those hundred and fifty layoffs. 470 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: By the way, it's a company of eleven thousand, so 471 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: it's not huge. No, it's not huge, but it was 472 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: extremely targeted. So what does that tell you? They basically 473 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: blew up all their woke specialty. But weren't they last 474 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 1: in first out? Isn't that part of what probably happened? 475 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: These shows were newer projects for Netflix, trying to know, 476 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: but it's it's it's the crap nobody wants to see. Well, yes, 477 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: it says here. They sent out a memo to staff. 478 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: As employees, we support the principle that Netflix offers a 479 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter 480 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: to our own personal values. Depending on your role, you 481 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: may need to work on titles you perceived to be harmful. 482 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: If you find it hard to support our content breath, 483 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: Netflix may not be the place for you. In other words, 484 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: get the ail out, hit the road right, because it's 485 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: really blew up with the name. One of the stupid 486 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: things a lot of these media technology companies, especially here 487 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: in California, have done, is they've allowed lunatic employees to 488 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: they hold these public meetings. You know, everybody gathers in 489 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: an auditorium or a cafeterier something and they all make 490 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: their social justice warrior speeches. And the executives had to 491 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: sit there and listen, listen to this crap, and they 492 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: don't want to. They went along with this because they thought, well, 493 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: this is the culture now. But they also want to 494 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: keep the activists off their back. They don't want bad publicity. 495 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: So it's like, yes, yes, sure, yes, we believe in that. Yes, 496 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: those are values, yes, diversity, inclusion, equity, yes, all that stuff. 497 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: And then the public started. You put on the Netflix 498 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: screen and that's all you see. It's like, whoa man, 499 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: this lineup, This lineup smells. I don't want to see 500 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: all this. How much we pay in seventeen ninety nine really, 501 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: uh well maybe not? How about that? You know when 502 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: they put on shows that I understand, then I'll if 503 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna give me pregnant man stuff, it's like, it's okay, 504 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: not for seventeen ninety nine a month. That's what it is. 505 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: This is business stuff. This stuff doesn't sell. They were 506 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: doing it to appease woke people who were yelling at them. Yeah, 507 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: I think they got tired of the descent because you're 508 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: too many problems. Because in the end, it is a business. 509 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: If you're going to produce all woke product, you're probably 510 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: not going to make a lot of money. You're gonna 511 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: go to go for a broader audience. It's gonna go 512 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: up and you get that woke stink on you. That's 513 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 1: what and people and this is real now, all right, 514 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: because now now not just the progressive it's organized. Everybody 515 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: else is organized. Everybody else is looking at this and saying, 516 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't have to pay for this. You know, Netflix 517 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: is a guest in people's homes, an expensive guest costs 518 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: you like one hundred and two hundred dollars a year. Right, Well, 519 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: you can't bring me stuff where you're constantly lecturing me 520 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: and scolding me and telling me things that I don't 521 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: either don't want to hear about, don't believe it. You 522 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: can ignore it though. When you go on to Netflix's content, 523 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: there's a million shows you probably wouldn't even I don't care. 524 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: But they don't just pop up and start playing on 525 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, those yep, those actually they do. No, 526 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: they do that. They have a lead show that'll start 527 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: automatically or like the there'll be a trailer sometimes click 528 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: off into some, but there's a whole I don't even 529 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: get what it is. I just click it off. No, 530 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't like the rows of woke stuff, the lectures. 531 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: It turns me off. When I turn I turn on Netflix. 532 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: I see that, I go to some other channel because 533 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't want it in my 534 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: face constantly. It's constantly in my face. I want an oasis. 535 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 1: I'm want a non woke oasis. You just start your 536 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: own streaming service with all of your dark content. Oh, 537 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: you're kidding me, the evil Channel. Nobody would want my 538 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: streaming service. Oh my god, you're talking about Boycott's Holy mackerel. Yeah, 539 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: but I'm not. You know, I'm not scolding anybody. I'm 540 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: not forcing anybody to have my value system. I like 541 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: the way several people tweeted out. A filmmaker said, oh, 542 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: Netflix is only laying off the teams associated with making 543 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: and promoy content for marginalized viewers. That's what it seems. 544 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Marginalized walks around saying, you know, I'm marg jinalized viewer 545 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: who walks around feeling marginalized. It's I think that I've 546 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: just never heard. I've never heard anyone used that term 547 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: to describe themselves. Another woman who works to secure economic 548 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: opportunities for women of color, tweeted Netflix hired a powerhouse 549 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: team of creators from a variety of marginalized communities. They 550 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: were performing exceptionally well. Had us all invested in their work, 551 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: then they were the first people they showed the door 552 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: at the first financial difference. If you were drawing an audience, 553 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: you would not be shown the door. Yeah, they know 554 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: how many people are, They know how many people there are. 555 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: There are plenty of diversity shows and they have diversity producers, 556 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: and the ones that draw an audience are making a fortune. 557 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: All right, So stop it. It means your ideas are 558 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: no good and it's not drawing an audience. You're you're 559 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: a loss. They can't you know when they when they 560 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: when they were ride and high during the pandemic and 561 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: they were getting millions and millions of people adding subscriptions 562 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: every month.
