But of 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: course they want to make a show of it to 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: attract attention to the fact that they will not deal 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: with any bill that increases any kind of prison time 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: for people involved in fentanel, particularly the dealers.

She called her attention to a 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: video that's been posted of a fire that apparently broke 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: out inside a public bathroom in Venice, and then she 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: also wants to talk about r v's parked along certain 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: streets in her district. Tracy, how are you? Thanks for 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: coming on? 30 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: Hey, John and Ken, how are you? I'm good? Thanks? 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: All right, you've proposed a resolution to ban the r 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: vs from being parked along streets in Westchester and mar Vista. 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: Now is this is this going to affect. 34 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: The the Balboa wetlands or this is accept Bologna weapons rather. 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: So, thank you for that question. That is a separate effort. 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: Although the RV's parked all over the West Side of 37 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: Los Angeles continued to be a source of real frustration 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 3: for constituents, business owners, residents, and stakeholders as well as 39 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: me personally. And so one of the things that I 40 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: have been doing is working with local communities to move 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: forward with some of these resolutions to begin the process 42 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 3: of trying to get at these RV encampments. 43 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: Can I dirept you a second? 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: I think most people that I've talked with don't understand 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: why you can't just get a tow truck, hook up 46 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: to the RV and go take it to somewhere, to 47 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: an empty city lot, which I'm sure there are plenty of. 48 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it just it shouldn't require a UN summit 49 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: meeting to pull this off. 50 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 2: You know. 51 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: It's a that we as local governments continue to get 52 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: in our own way when it comes to doing what 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 3: ought to be a relatively simple task of regulating these 54 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: vehicles and enforcing parking restrictions. I can tell you all 55 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: the myriad of reasons why it's an issue and what 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: the challenges are, but frankly, at the end of the day, 57 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: they sound like and they feel like excuses. 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 2: Well they are so they are. 59 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: They're just because most of the people in city and 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: county government don't want to toe the RVs. They want 61 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: to let these people live and keep fouling the blowna wetlands. 62 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: That's what they want, and it is a complete disregard 63 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: of the fact that these vehicles are choking our congested corridors. 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: They are dumping illegal sewage and garbage into our waterways 65 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: and in many cases, not all, but many, they are 66 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: the source of crime and violence and rub. 67 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: The only Okay, but what I'm what I'm getting at 68 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: you here? You have this new resolution for mar Vista 69 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: and Westchester. This is the second one you proposed. You 70 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: also had one for Venice recently. 71 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: Correct. 72 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: All right, So why isn't there a resolution to deal 73 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: with the Bologna wetlands and have it enforced the next 74 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: day after it passes? 75 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: So we are going to deal with Biona Wetlands. We 76 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: have a very large operation that we are pulling the 77 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 3: components together to and that will be a no parking 78 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: area that is going to be enforced when we're done 79 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: with that. But that's just one place in a district 80 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: and a city where every single neighborhood in community is 81 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: impacted by this. And unlike my predecessor who refused to 82 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: move forward with these resolutions, I am actually leaning into this. 83 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: This is not going to solve the problem. And unless 84 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: and until the city invests is and the budgetary resources 85 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: and prioritizes this like the crisis it is enforcement side 86 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: of this is going to continue to be a challenge. 87 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 3: But here we are in the middle of budget hearings 88 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: at City Hall, and I would encourage everybody on the 89 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: West Side to reach out to the mayor and her 90 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: team and to the members of the Budget and Finance 91 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: Committee and let them know that we are all sick 92 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: and tired of this and that we want and we 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 3: expect the city to prioritize the dollars in a way 94 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: that aligns with our priority of getting these problems. 95 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: Who doesn't want to do that? 96 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Who doesn't want to spend the money to tell the 97 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: RVs off the streets? 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's not that expensive. 99 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 3: There are a number of council members who if you 100 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: listen to them in committees and during our council meetings 101 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 3: and follow them on social media, it is perfectly clear 102 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: they do not want the investment. 103 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: Are they a majority? 104 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: They are not a majority. But it is going to 105 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 3: require a lot of pressure and a lot of work 106 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: to have this council produce a budget document that aligns 107 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: with the values and priorities that most Angelino's want. 108 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: And also you're getting some criticism from the Venice Stakeholders Association. 109 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, about not closing the Venice Bridge housing. 110 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: They said originally a pledge to do that, that are 111 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: setting bond and pledged to close it after three years, 112 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: and then you pledged in your campaign to close it, 113 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: and then you changed your mind and it's going to 114 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: remain open. And there's a lot of people angry, as 115 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, I am well aware. 116 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: And you know I just want to acknowledge. I hear 117 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 3: and understand their concerns, and they're frustrateds about it. Frankly, 118 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: the way that council Member Bonnan allowed that facility to 119 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: operate and the problems it created for the local neighborhood 120 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 3: are inexcusable. And I have personally long been in the 121 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: shut it down camp. This is a decision that I 122 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: did not take lightly, and I made only after extensive 123 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: engagement with the community, making it clear to them that 124 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: now that we have the encampments cleared, I have a 125 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: partnership from LAPD as well as forty one to eighteen 126 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: protection for the area, as well as new leadership in 127 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: this office to hold the service providers accountable. I am 128 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: hopeful that we can move forward. 129 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: Why not close it down? 130 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: Its clated to be developed. 131 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: Why not close it down? What's what's the argument? You 132 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: get open when nobody in the neighborhood wants it open. 133 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you why. And it's not everybody. You know, 134 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: there was a lot of folks who understand pragmatically why 135 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: the beds are essential, and we all want to see 136 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: a reduction in street camping. And part of the strategy 137 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: that we need to move forward with that work is 138 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: having beds, and that is one hundred and fifty four beds. 139 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: They are a critical resource and I'm going to continue 140 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: to rely on those beds as a resource until we 141 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 3: close the bridge down finally and permanently in twenty twenty 142 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 3: five and hand the site back over to Metro. 143 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: All right, now, why did you want us to take 144 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: a look at that video of the bathroom public bathroom 145 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: in Venice burning. 146 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: You know, I just was bringing it to your attention 147 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: because I thought and I was so profoundly disturbed by it. 148 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: You know, I was personally out on ocean front walk 149 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,359 Speaker 3: on Sunday observing the conditions in and around the public bathrooms. 150 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: I was pretty serious about what I saw. And you know, 151 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: just last night, of course, there was yet another fire, 152 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: and I am calling on LAPD, I am calling on 153 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: the mayor and I am calling on other city partners 154 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 3: to look at what is happening in Venice, the number 155 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 3: one tourist destination in this city, and start to take 156 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 3: it seriously. With me, you know, we're all sick and 157 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: tired of this, and I brought it to your attention 158 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: because I want everybody to rest assured that I see 159 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: what they see. And I am not happy about any 160 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: of this either. So I am working with LAPD and 161 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: our outreach providers. We've got some long term interventions that 162 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: we are in the funding process for, but I want 163 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: right now this problem to stop, and I'm going to 164 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: keep fighting for that. 165 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: You said, Karen Bass has worked with you in a 166 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: positive way to get some progress in Venice. Is she 167 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: working to influence all these abstract actionists on the city 168 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: council and the obstructionists and the bureaucracy who aren't changing 169 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: quickly enough and getting these encampments and the RVs off 170 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: the streets. I mean, it seems like she ought to 171 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: be taking the public lead and calling people out and saying, look, 172 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: it's time you start cooperating with us here. It's supposed 173 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: to be a new day. And I don't hear her 174 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: speaking out enough on this.

Los Angeles City council Woman Tracy Park on 196 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: an effort to ban r V parking overnight certain streets 197 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: and like we said they got to get going on that. 198 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: Biona Wetlands, Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 199 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 200 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 201 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: Earlier this week, we talked to Tim Hepburn, who's the 202 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: mayor of Laverne. Remember that interview and the reason he 203 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: came on the show. We wanted to talk about concerns 204 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: that he and also officials in San Dimas had about 205 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 2: homeless housing that was going to go up in an 206 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: unincorporated area pretty much right between the two cities. It 207 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: was a big building that was going to house fifty 208 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: four people and the person that was the point person 209 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: in the middle of this is the La County Supervisor, 210 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: Catherine Barger. And what Hepburn's concern was that we didn't 211 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: get any heads up about this. We didn't get any input, 212 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: inn a chance to fight. You didn't get anything because obviously, 213 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: since it's not technically within their city limits, they can 214 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 2: just go ahead and do this. Well, they got the 215 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: thing tabled until a supervisor meeting coming up in May. 216 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: One of the latest is it's been tabled period. For now. 217 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: It's a five story fifty four unit primitive supportive housing 218 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: project for seniors. John This I didn't know the other day. 219 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: You have to be working or retired in are experiencing homelessness, 220 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 2: and you have to be fifty five or older. So 221 00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: it's senior retired homeless people retired retired from homelessness. Well, 222 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 2: you're retired, but then you didn't have enough to make 223 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 2: ends meet and you're experiencing homelessness. 224 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: I don't trust them. I think that's a cover story. 225 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: And then what keeps them from changing it to having nothing? 226 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: Twenty something methematics? Right, this is just the way it 227 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: was proposed. 228 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 229 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: See, I don't believe how many retired elderly homeless people 230 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: are there. Every now and then we see these sympathetic 231 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: stories that they worked their whole life, but they got 232 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: the retirement, they had no savings, they can't afford the rent, 233 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: they're on the streets. How many how many decisions wrong 234 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: decisions you have to make to get to that point. Seriously, 235 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: everybody I know is thinking about putting money away for 236 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: their retirement decades. You're hanging out with a lot of 237 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: West Side people, and it's a different crowd than the 238 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: crowd that fround. 239 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: What's the difference. Well, they live in poorer neighborhoods and 240 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: never had a job, they could make any money to 241 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: put any away. Why didn't they have a job? They 242 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: had a job, but not enough money to put any 243 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: other way. Why didn't they in company? Why didn't they 244 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 2: develop skills to get a better job. By opening up 245 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: the border and opening up the country for cheap labor. 246 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 2: We earned this position we're in now because a lot 247 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: of these people, well they worked, they got. 248 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: Nothing for retirement. No, I disagree. I don't think there's 249 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: any excuse. I think no matter what you start in life, 250 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: you can get somewhere. You just have to do the 251 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: work for it. You have to do the work, do 252 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: the planning, make make the tough decisions, the discipline. You know, 253 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: don't go off on drinking and drug venders, don't go 254 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: impregnating a bunch of women. You know, get up and 255 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: put it in twelve hours every day, and then you 256 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: look for better jobs. Get skills for the better jobs, 257 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: get to you know, get some education or some technical experience. 258 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: There's no excuse, and there's just worrying us I ever met. 259 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we've interviewed plenty of homeless people, and I 260 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: see them interviewed in like the La Times, and there 261 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: isn't any one of them that didn't make fifty two 262 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: bad decisions that led them there. Just bad decisions. So 263 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: make good decisions. Why is that so hard? 264 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: Because what you're asking is never going to happen. That's 265 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: not the for each Now. The point is we're stuck 266 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: with these people because there's always gonna be a ton 267 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: of people making bad decision. 268 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: Because we're always bailing them out, we're always name among them. 269 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: That's exactly what we're saying. 270 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: Oh, that's okay, I feel sorry for you. 271 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: No, it's not okay. You're now you're now a parasite 272 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: on me. 273 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: So if in your world you'd let them die of 274 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: drugs and alcohol in the streets, are just lying there 275 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: they did where you'd move them to slab city, let 276 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: them die there. 277 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: They didn't used to be around in these numbers because 278 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: the whole work ethic in America was different. You know 279 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: that this did not exist in Northern Jersey. I didn't 280 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: grow up with a lot of money. Everybody went to work, 281 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the dads, the moms, the teenagers, everybody. 282 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: America's in decay. Okay, well, now we're getting it something. 283 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: We lost a lot of the blue collar jobs that 284 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: your folks had in those states because it's all done 285 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: by the Chinese and the cheap labor overseas. The lower 286 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: end just got eliminated because they don't have the skills 287 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: to be part of the tech world that the US 288 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: is more driven by, or the celebrity world. Takes a pick, 289 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: but celebrity world, yeah, whatever else you need to get buy. 290 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: A lot of people that had the lower skilled jobs 291 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: are finding they're on the outset. 292 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: I think we just got so used to accepting everybody's 293 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: sob story and everybody's excuses that it's just normal. Now, Oh, 294 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: I understand. That's the reason. It's like, you know what, 295 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: there's almost no reason for this. There's almost no reason 296 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: to end up in the street. Not to mention, we have, 297 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: especially in California and California the most generous safety net 298 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: in all of America. I mean, there's so much money 299 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: available to suck out of the government that if you're 300 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: actually on the street with nothing in your pockets, you 301 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: know you have neglected a lot of government resources that 302 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: would give you money. 303 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 2: Now, remember that story about Korea Town. They were building 304 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: apartments for the homeless that were hundreds of thousands of 305 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: dollars each. Remember that story when Garcetti was mayor. Yeah, 306 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 2: the San Diego Housing Commission wants to buy three extended 307 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: stay hotels with more than four rooms. It's going to 308 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: average out to almost four hundred thousand dollars a unit. Okay, 309 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: that's that's massive. Correct, you can't do this, And this 310 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 2: story in the Union Tribune makes it sound like, well, 311 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: that's just the way it is. You have to pay 312 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: that price. In fact, later on the stories I scrolled 313 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: through it they've already done this before. They bought one place, 314 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: ninety five unit affordable housing, something called the Amiser apartments 315 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: in Linda Vista, five hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars 316 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: a room. 317 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: Oh god, no, no, that that's that's gotta be somebody's 318 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: getting a sweet deal there. 319 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 2: On the other end, it's Veteran Affairs supportive housing vouchers 320 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: from the Housing Commission. They got the money from, So 321 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: I guess it's supposed to be for veterans to live. 322 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: In again, that's another good cover story. If it isn't 323 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: elderly homeless, now it's veteran homeless. 324 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 2: Who knows if it's easy what they tell us, right exactly, 325 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: and it's us women with children. 326 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Right right, Well, those are the categories that are unassailable. 327 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to credit size. You sound like a mini. 328 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: It's like, well, don't you want housing for veterans. It's like, oh, 329 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: are they really veterans? I mean, how do we know 330 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: a year from now there's going to be hundreds of 331 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: veterans in these buildings. We don't know that same thing 332 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: with the elderly, same thing with women and children. What 333 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: I see on the street, I don't see veterans. I 334 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: don't see women and children. I don't see what. 335 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 2: You do when you're over by the VA there with 336 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: your problem vs. Right, And the VA took those people in. 337 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: Although you doubt some of them are really veterans. I 338 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: don't think they were all veterans on the street. But 339 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: there are now dozens and dozens of tiny homes on 340 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: the veterans land where they're staying. And that could have 341 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: been done day one. It didn't have to sit there 342 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: for four years. 343 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: See. 344 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: A lot of this is just nobody in government bothers 345 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: to do their job. Because one day they did their job. 346 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: They clean it up in a day. These tiny homes 347 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: are up in a day, and there hasn't been any 348 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: trouble since. So why did you wait four years? 349 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: We don't have the money to be buying up expensive 350 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: hotel rooms at four hundred thousan dollars a room for 351 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: homeless people, and as you famously say, every time, we'll 352 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 2: be overrun with people coming to California looking for their 353 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: four hundred thousand dollars room. Yeah, I know. Wait, honestly, 354 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: if that word gets out, that's crazy. All right, we 355 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 2: got more coming up.

Coming 364 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: up after three o'clock. Well, we'll talk about what's not 365 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: happening on fentanyl in Sacramento. They made a big deal 366 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: by letting the media know. Today was special hearings on 367 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: bills dealing with the fentyl crisis in California, but the 368 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: ones it probably would have the most impact already got 369 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: killed by the Public Safety Committee. We talked a lot 370 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: about Alexandra's Law. That's dedicated to a young woman named 371 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: Alexandra Cappaluto who died of a drug overdose. She thought 372 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 2: she was getting some opioids, but they were laced with fentanyl. 373 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 2: She did it through social media, and she died of 374 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: an overdose. Her father has been pushing the bill to 375 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: go after fentanyl dealers who get one break. First time 376 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: you do it, you won't be charged with homicide. But 377 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: the next time someone dies, we're coming after you. That 378 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: bill died. So there's some other bills, but they're not 379 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: as powerful, but they would act like they're doing something. 380 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 2: So we'll talk about this after three o'clock. Good headline. 381 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: The New York post Man allegedly posts video of himself 382 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: engaging in sex with dog. That's something you want to 383 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: spread around. Huh? Did that go viral? Probably you're gonna 384 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: share that with friends and family. Thumbs up. 385 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: I bet she gets a lot of hits. They disgusting 386 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: he probably got more hits today than you did. 387 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: I didn't post anything today, so you're right charged with 388 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 2: committee crimes against nature. Cody Sprague, thirty one of North Care, Carolina. 389 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: I don't belonged to the suspect and his girlfriend, who 390 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: was unaware of what I thought. We were in anything 391 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: those time, sexually, not with animals. No, it's not part 392 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 2: of it. They don't have a choice. I have this debate. No, 393 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 2: I'm just checking. 394 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm checking to see where we are. There's so many 395 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: social changes going on day by day. 396 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: I just was no, that is never going to be acceptable. 397 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: You don't think no, I bet you Wilson day better not. 398 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: I'll be out there with my signs and god knows 399 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: what else. Yesterday we talked about the unbelievable story of 400 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 2: the civilian employee with the Santa Monica Police Department who 401 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 2: supposedly went on to moless more than two hundred children. 402 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 2: You did hear me correctly? Two hundred. His name is 403 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 2: Eric Uller. He's dead. The whole thing fell apart back 404 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen as they were moving in on him. 405 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: He killed himself. But beginning in the late eighties he 406 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: got a position in the police department as a civilian employee. 407 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 2: He was like a tech guy. But eventually he got 408 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: involved in what they call the Police Activities League in 409 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: Santa Monica, which gave him access to young children, mostly boys, 410 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: and he molested over two hundred of them. The city 411 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 2: is paying out one hundred and twenty two and a 412 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: half million dollars to settle the hundreds of claims there. 413 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 2: Today's outrage is this. In nineteen ninety one, they did 414 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: a background check on him. They found out he was 415 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: arrested as a teenager from molesting a toddler that he babysat. 416 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: They waved it off, let him go on. There was 417 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: a first red flag. 418 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: There were a number of red flags because various people 419 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: reported suspicious behavior because he was befriending some of these 420 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: young boys and they would become his boyfriend. And he 421 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: was traveling with them mount in the open, taking him 422 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: around in official police cars. Yeah, like an unmarked police 423 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: car that was outfitted with equipment he had. 424 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: He was the son of a pretty high end doctor 425 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: in Santa Monica, and he apparently was a tech whiz. 426 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: I think for all these reasons he got a pass well, 427 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: as they thought he was doing great work helping them 428 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: with their tech problem. 429 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: Well, it's something Brian Claypool who was the attorney yesterday 430 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: who represented a lot of the victims. By the way, 431 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: there were two sets, there were two settlements and the 432 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: total amount of money is two hundred and twenty nine 433 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: million dollars for the two settlements two hundred and twenty 434 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: nine million, it's over two hundred kids. And what Brian 435 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: Claypool was talking about, and the La Times fleshed it 436 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: out in a story that ran late yesterday, is that 437 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: you know the the chief police back then, it was 438 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: James Butz, who's now the mayor of Inglewood. He's become 439 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: very well known because he's been the mayor while Inglewood 440 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: has been on this construction spree Sofi Stadium being built, 441 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: the Clippers Arena being built and so on. So he's 442 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: now a celebrity mayor because he's brought so much wealth 443 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: and so much activity. But he was the police chief 444 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 1: and there were a lot of san Soaramanica copps who 445 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: knew what was going on, and they said. 446 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: He'd never heard anything about Uller. I don't believe his response. 447 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: I don't believe he didn't hear any complaints. I don't 448 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: believe that there was a nineteen eighty three juvenile booking 449 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 2: for Uller. It was a four year old boy he 450 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: was babysitting. When asked to explain, apparently years later, Uller 451 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: was asked to explain. He was twenty three at the time. 452 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: He was asked to explain because again, because it was 453 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: a juvenile arrest. You know, you really have to dig 454 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: to find a juvenile booking record that they really want 455 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: to protect juveniles. He said, Oh, it was a long 456 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 2: time ago, and nothing happened. His father, a prominent doctor 457 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 2: in Santa Monica, supported his son well. Uoler stepmother, though, 458 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 2: said she was concerned about what happened. Didn't know whether 459 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: or not anything had done, but she hoped it was 460 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: an adolescent phase he'd grown out of it. Boy, that's 461 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: an ignorant. The boy in question was the son of 462 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: a business partner of the father, Robert Uller. Nobody. 463 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: I guess it is so icky to hear about a 464 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: grown man having sex with a young child that most 465 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: people turn away, pretend they didn't see it. 466 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: Sit hear about it. 467 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: You gotta it's gotta be a mistake, and come up 468 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: with bizarre excuses or rationalizations why it just can't be. 469 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: It's got to be because the act is so repulsive, 470 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: nobody wants to accept it and nobody wants to deal 471 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: with it in their lives. They have a PAL employee 472 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: named Michelle Cardiel. She told the sheriff's detective that there 473 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: was one child who was went everywhere with Eric Uhler 474 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: and it seemed odd, and the sheriff's investigators looked into it. 475 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: Is there at nineteen ninety five because the boy told 476 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: Michelle Cardiel that Uhler had offered to help clean his 477 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: penis because his father is a doctor, and that was 478 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: reported to a cop named Jay Tristler, and Trystler's said 479 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: he would investigate. She also told her PL boss, Patty Loggins, 480 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: who told Cardil that she would she Cardil would be 481 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: written up if she kept spreading workplace gossip. 482 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: Oh nice, Yeah, thanks Patty. 483 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: And now they've the Alli Times called Tristler and Patty Loggins. 484 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: Oh they didn't return messages for comment. 485 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: Cardiel said, Ulla approached her, said the interaction you have 486 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: but the boy had been inappropriate, begged her not to 487 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: mention it again. Wow. 488 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: And Brian Claypooler was theorizing that because he worked in 489 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: it for the cops, he had access to all their emails, so. 490 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 2: He may have had the goods on them. Yeah, and 491 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: so possible. 492 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Whatever dirty stuff was going on in the department, and 493 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: every department has lots of dirty stuff, everybody was afraid 494 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: that Uller would gain revenge by releasing all the police 495 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: department's garbage. 496 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean they were investigating him back betwe nineteen 497 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: ninety one and nineteen ninety three, even before this nineteen 498 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 2: ninety five thing. He joined in eighty nine.

Oh. Ukrainian secret service launched what 532 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: is described as a UJ twenty two drone loaded with 533 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: C four explosives. Last Sunday, intelligence gathered said that Putin 534 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: would be making an appearance at something called the Rednevo 535 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: Industrial Park. Instead, the drone exploded about twelve miles away 536 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: on the air. 537 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: It was on its way. It was on its way.

It doesn't 548 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: look like though if it had all those explosives, wouldn't 549 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: have it exploded into pieces. This is the picture I'm 550 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: looking at it. It upside down, but most of it's intact, 551 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: except for the front part.

You 569 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: see how evil and cowardly people are. You know how 570 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: many thousands and thousands of young men have been have 571 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: been killed in Russia for what I am at all 572 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: the are they going to have their Vietnam moment and 573 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: just say enough of this? 574 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. 575 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we were mocking the morons in the Santa 576 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Monica Police Department for letting that child molester go on 577 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: for decades. Look at this, It's it's not even secret, 578 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: it's right in front of our eyes. In fact, they 579 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: don't even bury the bodies. They have portable incinerators now 580 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: that go with the with the units, the Russian military units, 581 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: And when guys get shot up dead, they're just thrown 582 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: into the incinerator and they just become a puff of 583 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: ash and and you know, and if you're the parents, 584 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: your kid just never comes back home. 585 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 2: Hey, where'd you go. In other international news, once again, 586 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: our Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis stated that 587 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 2: the border is secure. He made an appearance today a 588 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: news conference in fact, along with the Secretary of State 589 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: on Penny Blinken, to announce, well, if the migrants are 590 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: coming to us trying to get into the United States, 591 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: let's go to them. We're going to open up processing 592 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: centers for actual little offices in Colombia and Guatemala so 593 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: that people can go there and apply for entry into 594 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: the US rather than flooding the border through Mexico. That's 595 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: the big point. They'll still be here. I'm still going 596 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: to come here. Oh well, legedly they'll process you and 597 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: see if you qualify to come here. Oh really. The 598 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: the US Refugee Admissions program now it says that they 599 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: screened for eligibility they. 600 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: Got a million of Well, now now Biden has this 601 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: response for his campaign when he's questioned about the border, 602 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: and he can start babbling about the US Refugee Agency 603 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: and the protocols they've set up in these various countries, 604 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: the processing center. 605 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: So now we're opening up a bureaucracy. We're going to 606 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 2: send people down there to open up a brand new 607 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 2: against in Guatemala, a lot of process people because you know, 608 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 2: some people don't like that, because they feel like once 609 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 2: you start collecting information on them, they'd rather distant to 610 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 2: the country illegally and quietly and not be known that 611 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 2: they're here. Well, there's always that option, right, you don't 612 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: have to, but it's because they'll be suspicious. So once 613 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 2: I get my name in information, they'll tell me that 614 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 2: they have status and then they'll take it away and 615 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: deport me. I mean, these things are true, but these 616 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: are the fears of many people from those countries Central 617 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: America that come here that eventually the John Coblt mob 618 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 2: will catch up and deport me if I give them 619 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: any information on me. So they often like to remain 620 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: off the radar and not apply publicly like this. The 621 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: whole reason for this is, and how many times you 622 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: talk about this. Title forty two is supposed to go 623 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: away on May eleventh. Now Title forty two, Yeah, well 624 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 2: that's should them the chance to deport people immediately because 625 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 2: of the public health emergency of COVID that this came 626 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: back to. 627 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: This twenty This is another public relations distraction. It's like 628 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: a Newsom's blue ribbon panel. That's all it's. It's a 629 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: fake agency with fake offices. And whenever anybody says, hey, 630 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: title forty two is ending, what are you gonna do? 631 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a big surge. Oh no, no, no, 632 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: we have these centers that they're gonna run. It's like 633 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: everything will be orderly. 634 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 2: Don't worry. There won't be a flood at the border 635 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 2: because now they can walk into an office and apply 636 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 2: for jury. All they're doing is nonsense, and the smugglers 637 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: will just go away. Everything will be cleaned up. Yeah. 638 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: But you know, whenever I whenever I walk by a 639 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: group of people, I see most of them just scrolling 640 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: on their phone, and I look over their shoulders what 641 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: they're scrolling on, and it's their social media pages and 642 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: it's it's texts or it's like some stupid screen game 643 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: that they're playing. 644 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: Right, that's where America is acting. None of them know 645 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 2: what's going on. Here are the alleged rules. Citizens of Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, 646 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 2: and Cuba can apply for lawful entry if they have 647 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 2: a financial sponsor and as long as they do not 648 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 2: across the Panama, Mexico or US land borders without authorization. 649 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 2: So a financial sponsor that means what somebody in the 650 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 2: US is going to take care of you and make 651 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 2: sure you're not a burden. Yeah. Yeah, my dad had one, 652 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 2: that's right, he did. He had a Catholic organization. 653 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: That was the old way of legally admitting refugees and immigrants. 654 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 2: I think that's still happening. I understand that many charitable 655 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 2: organizations or religious organizations are the ones that are showing 656 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: up to take the migrants that have all been flooding 657 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: in through Mexico. They take them, and the charities take 658 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 2: them and find them a place to live for now 659 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 2: and set them up. That's what I've been reading because 660 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 2: I wondered, all these people that are at the border 661 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: that they're not detaining, where do they go. 662 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: Well, there used to be the law, the policy was 663 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: you had to prove that you were not going to 664 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: be a burden on the public treasury.
