And again, 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: our big story today is that Senate Bill fourteen has 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: finally made it through the State Assembly Public Safety Committee. 16 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: Of course, it would consider child sex trafficking a serious felony. 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 2: That means it could be a strike and that means 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: longer prison sentences. And of course this is very important 19 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: and a no brainer, and it went through the Senate 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: without a problem, but it hit a wall and the 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: Public Safety Committee of the Assembly, where a bunch of 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: Democrats decided to abstain, and then everything turned around the 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: last twenty four hours, and this morning the Public Safety 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: Committee approved the bill. It'll move to the next committee 25 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: and then eventually to the full Assembly floor. 26 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: In one hour. 27 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: Our guest will be Shedd and Grove, the state Senator 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: from Bakersfield, the Republican, who of course is the chief 29 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: sponsor and author of the bill. All right on to 30 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: Steve Gregory from Rolling Hills Estates. You know about the landslide, 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: at least seventeen homes affected, some of them have tumbled 32 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: and crumbled down the hill. And now here come the 33 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: burglars to loot the to loot the hole. Yeah, because 34 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: people had to evacuate in case their home went sliding 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: down the canyon. 36 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: And we now get worth. 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: Well, the story is so big even the robbers decided 38 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: here's an opportunity, Steve. 39 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, So you know, we hear about this on 40 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: occasion where areas around wildfires have been evacuated, so neighborhoods 41 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: that are in the path of a wildfire. And then, 42 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 3: you know, because those homes are still standing and it's 43 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: fairly safe to get in and out of, and sometimes 44 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: people can fake that their homeowners or the media. There 45 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: have actually been people that have pretended to be reporters 46 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 3: to get into neighborhoods only to loot the homes. But 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 3: this is the first that I've heard about looting at 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: the scene of an active landslide and at an inside 49 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: of a you know, gated community to boot. I got 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: tipped off on this story early this morning, and I 51 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: was able to track down a deputy from the Ella 52 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: County Sheriff's Low Media station who has jurisdiction over the area. 53 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: Apparently early this morning, you know, in the between five 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: point thirty and six this morning, one of the homeowners 55 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: whose power I guess was still active in their home. 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: Their ring camera had activated their smartphone at their remote 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: location where the homeowners were, and it showed clearly, according 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: to the homeowner, a man and a woman walking into 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: their home and they called nine to one one the 60 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: homeow owners did Jeopanese responded quickly out to the scene 61 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 3: while the man and woman were not there, so they 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: called Torrance Police Department for mutual aid. Interestingly enough, they 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: wanted their own airship from La County Sheriff to come 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: over and start doing a search with one of the 65 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 3: sun guns in the air, but the airship was down 66 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: for maintenance, so they called Torranspde who sent out two 67 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: drones and those drones were hovering up in the area 68 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: and they were able to key in on this very thick, 69 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: dense brush area and that's where they found the man 70 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: and woman, and deputies were able to arrest them. Come 71 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: to find out, they have robbed at least two homes 72 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: inside of that evacuation area. 73 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: Were they hiding in the brush or trying to stumble 74 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: their way. 75 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: Through, Well, it looks like they were trying to hide 76 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: in the brush. They had parked their car somewhere down 77 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 3: the street, kind of away from the area, and they 78 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: found the vehicle some time later. But it looks like 79 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: they were trying to hide because they by that time 80 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: they heard people come into the scene. 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: Do we know if they stole anything and what it was. 82 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, So when deputies got up to the man and 83 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: the woman, I guess the man was holding a bunch 84 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: of stuff. They wouldn't say what it was, but they 85 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: were holding a bunch of stuff and they were able 86 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: to send pictures of that to the homeowner and the 87 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 3: homeowner confirmed that those were his and his belongings, So 88 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: they got them in custody. Not sure what the charges 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: are going to be or if they were cited and released. 90 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 3: I'm not sure those details yet. Were still burglary? 91 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: Is burglary on a fence? Or yes? Oh it is? 92 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 1: Oh they're still arrested checking this is La County? Yeah? 93 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: Yes, And you know, we've got to see how much 94 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 3: the value is first, because that'll determine whether it's a 95 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: mis demere. 96 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: Or whether it's a sellony. 97 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: Right right, If this person had nine hundred and fifty 98 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: dollars or less in their possession, then that's one thing. 99 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: But if it's nine hundred and fifty dollars and one penny, 100 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: that's a different situation. 101 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: H I say, uh, is there a lot more of this? 102 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: Or were these the first two that everybody's aware? 103 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: This is the first whoever one was aware of. And 104 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 3: it was really odd because the Japanese were even sort 105 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: of like, who does that? Who walks into an active 106 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: landslide area and you know, areas where homes are evacuated already, 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: and that's pretty risky, especially when it was dark when 108 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 3: they got there, so they were literally doing. 109 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: This at night. 110 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: So I said, well, who are these people. I mean, 111 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: they wouldn't give me the names and their addresses, but 112 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: they did tell me they lived more than an hour 113 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: from the location. 114 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: And I know you haven't been covering this every day, 115 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: but do you know, typically are homeowners going to be 116 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: able to retrieve some of their belongings from their collapsed homes. 117 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 3: But in some cases when it seemed safe to go 118 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: in and do so, absolutely they do that with wildfire scenes. 119 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: Once that the officials, the incident commander of the scene 120 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: declares it safe to enter, then they will give the 121 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: option for homeowners to go in and salvage whatever they can. 122 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: We've done many stories of that where people have gone 123 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: in after wildfires or floods and they were able to survey, 124 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: you know, the damage, because they've got to go back 125 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: in now and determine what's the loss and what is 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 3: it that so presumably they'll get to do the same 127 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: thing here. 128 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thank you very much for that report. 129 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: Go guys God. 130 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: Steve Gregory ca if I knew this on the report 131 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: of a couple of people arrested attempting to perhaps rob 132 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: some of the homes that have been evacuated in Rolling Hills, 133 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: estates due to the situation with the landslides. 134 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm safe to be there. I'd read a story about 135 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: a guy who is just so distraught because older and 136 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: he had when he was told to get out of 137 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: the house, they gave him twenty minutes, and he had 138 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: collected all the photographs and precious memories and put them 139 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: in three boxes. But there's so much pressure to run out, 140 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: and he was just so nervous that he ended up 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: running out and leaving those three boxes behind. And he 142 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: was so upset, and I was thinking, geez, can can 143 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: they they somebody go in and get his His. 144 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: House did collapse down the canyon, I don't know, or 145 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: is it just one that had to be evacuating in 146 00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: case it was going to call out? 147 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know. But even if it collapses, I 148 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: guess eventually you can go into the rub. 149 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: Eventually and go into the rubble and search for stuff. 150 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 2: They're still trying to well, it's going to be a 151 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: wild Geologists have to take a look at the whole 152 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: situation to figure out the cause of this. But of 153 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: course the main thing is water. That's usually what does it. 154 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: When soil is looser, it's more susceptible to water, so 155 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: it was a broken pipe. Some people think there might 156 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: have been a sewer drain that broke or a pipe 157 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: or all the rainfall of last winter. They don't know yet, 158 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: but usually that's the main cause for this kind of slide. 159 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: But again, the way this is constructed and the way 160 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: it works with the geology there, this was not like 161 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 2: never going to happen. I mean, some people were shocked 162 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: by it, but it has a tendency to happen in 163 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: these situations. 164 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: The way that this whole thing is built. 165 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: They're good Landslides are common in the sedimentary soil, such 166 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: as in Rolling Hills, Estates and other cities on the 167 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: Palace Fortese Peninsula, and support is weakened by the softened 168 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: clay soil and poorly compacted soil fill, and then this 169 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: can happen. So it'll probably be a long time, do 170 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: they know. I mean one other expert said, well, everybody's 171 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: got sprinklers, gutters, irrigation systems, leaky pipes, all adding water. 172 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: This just may have reached a tipping point. Light the 173 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: straw that broke the Campbell's back, and that was it 174 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: for this particular section where the homes just collapsed on 175 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: in all right, we have got more coming up.

The 183 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: one we mentioned the other day is that they've spent 184 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars on these rehab programs. They 185 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: fooled too many voters when they passed Prop forty seven, 186 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: calling it the Safe Neighborhood and Schools Act, and the 187 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: idea was, well, you know, we're not going to charge 188 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 2: felonies anymore for drug offences and many of them and 189 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: for things like shoplifting on it's over like a thousand 190 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: dollars and the money we're gonna say by not saying 191 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 2: these guys to jail, we'll turn around, we'll spend on rehab, 192 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: which was bs be failures. They're not keeping records was 193 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: the main theme. They have no idea, what's going on 194 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: with anybody? Not a lot of people are entering the rehab, 195 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: they're not completing it, and we don't even know whether 196 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: they reoffended or did not. 197 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: Isn't this great? We have spent billions of dollars on 198 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: all these fraudulent programs, trumpeted with press releases and press 199 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: conferences and all kinds of claims, and everybody votes for 200 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: new taxes, and everybody votes to release prisoners because they're 201 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: going to go to this magical rehab. I am telling you, 202 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: and people always I talk to people all the time, 203 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, I really do believe in rehabilitation. 204 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: I really do believe to say, why don't you show 205 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: me the program that works? And I always ask people, 206 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: what's what's the program that works? What's the big success story? 207 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: Because if there was one, right everywhere there is, there 208 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: aren't any. There aren't any rehab programs. The most you 209 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: can say is a lot of guys just get old 210 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: and tired and they stop creating trouble. They're not rehabilitated, 211 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: they just got old. But the truly psychotic people, it's 212 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: the rehab for that. I mean, you know, you know 213 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: one of the things that irritated me is the reason 214 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: I stopped watching a lot of television movies, and I 215 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: would and I'd read reviews of shows, and there was 216 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: always a lot of praise for a story where at 217 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: the end there was redemption. You know, somebody had done 218 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: something bad, but in the end he redeemed himself to 219 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: show that humanity is basically good. And this is a 220 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: wonderful story of redemption. And I got so irritated by that, 221 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: because it isn't true. Bat people stay bad all their lives. 222 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: Very few turn good, and the best you should do 223 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,359 Speaker 1: is ostracize them, imprison them. Well, stop with your programs. 224 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: This article that they put on their website today is 225 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: about Mayor Bassetti's Inside Safe program, and the conclusion for 226 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: most of it is, well, yeah, it's doing their job 227 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: at least getting people out of the encampments and putting 228 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: them somewhere, but it may not last. They cannot sustain 229 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: the cost of these hotel rooms. It is not possible, 230 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: because I argue that even building all these people housing 231 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: or finding them permanent housing, which is what's the problem 232 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: in this article, they're not being able to do that 233 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: is also unsustainable, which impossible. Cannot provide somebody's complete future 234 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: payments for their lifestyle for the rest of their lives. 235 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: When you're talking about tens of thousands of potentially hundreds 236 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: of thousands of people, that's unsustainable. 237 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: We can't follow that model. 238 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: But that's what this crowd wants to do, because they're 239 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: complaining here that, oh, to put them into permanent housing. 240 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 2: It's much more than finding them a permanent place. They 241 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: need all sorts of support. They need medical treatment, they 242 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: need counseling, counseling's counseling, medical care, job training or help 243 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: getting a new id. Even how do you counsel people 244 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: not to smear their feces on the wall? I mean, 245 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 2: what are you talking about these buzzwords rehabilitation, counseling. You 246 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: can't fix a brain that has been destroyed by meth. 247 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: And there's a guy running around with no pants on 248 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 2: and he's masturbating in the street and he's throwing he's 249 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: flinging his feces in his in his shelter room. Well, 250 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: what is this you really have? 251 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: You have feral animals out in the street now, they're 252 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: completely wild, they've lost everything. For people, they eventually have 253 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: to do something for themselves. Well, they can't. 254 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: The city is leasing rooms at about three motels paying 255 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: between one hundred and one hundred and twenty five a night. 256 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 2: So far, they've burned through forty million dollars. 257 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: If I told you last week, Royal Boy Boom Times, 258 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: if you own an old Rundown motel, because the city's 259 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: gonna pay, let's give you a lot more business than 260 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: the usual prostitutes and John's huh. 261 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: They're close to purchasing one three hundred room motel, which 262 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: could drop the cost of sheltering people from one hundred 263 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 2: and thirty five dollars a night to fifty dollars. 264 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: Here's one of the SOB stories with one hotel three 265 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: hundred people. Yeah, it's it's impossible. You've got seventy five 266 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: thousand people in the county on the streets. Okay. Sight, 267 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: the city has a big dent to a big portion 268 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: of those. Say you, I have three hundred people in 269 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: there for a few months, then the money runs out. 270 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: What'd you do? You didn't do anything, because there's nothing 271 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: you can do except put these people on buses and 272 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: send them out of the state or to the desert. 273 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: There's nothing need to do. They got one woman here profiled. 274 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: It's the usual SOB story right, this one now three 275 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: years old. Her name is Shane Smith, and they got 276 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: her hotel room. Seven years on the street. I think 277 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: about that. Seven years on the street. I mean, I 278 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: mean almost like twenty five hundred days. This woman wakes 279 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: up on a sidewalk or in a tent and couldn't 280 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: figure out what to do next. You think you're going 281 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: to fix that. She's to be an interior designer and 282 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: then suffered a devastating seizure that put her in a coma. 283 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: No income. Now what is the seizure? Seizure is a symptom. 284 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: There should have been a disease attached to it. Was 285 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: he treated in the hospital or is she making this 286 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: story up? I don't understand this seizure. You're going to 287 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: a coma? And then what it was? Her medication? She 288 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: had to learn how to do basic tasks like reading 289 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: and speaking. So she goes on the street, multiple sexual 290 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: and physical assaults, not her teeth out. All right, here's 291 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: the treatment. She's gotten to ten minute counseling sessions. I 292 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: actually read that three times. Two ten minute counseling sessions 293 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: and a prescription for ZOA. Well, what she says, I 294 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: have massive headaches every day, I feel like I'm gonna 295 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: throw up. Well, this lady didn't go to a doctor 296 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: for all those years. She's obviously got some kind of 297 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: terrible brain disorder. Maybe there's no treatment for it. 298 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: So the truth here, which is vastly underreported, is that, yeah, 299 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: well they're clearing out some of the large, disgusting encampments. 300 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: Who knows in a few months or next year where 301 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: those people are gonna be. They might be at another encampment. 302 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: They're not ending up in any kind of permanent housing 303 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: because that's not there. These hotels. They can't sustain the 304 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: cost of these hotel rooms for the long term. This 305 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: whole thing. She might be able to announce one year, 306 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: big numbers. We've got people off the streets and hear 307 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: the numbers. But this could just completely boomerang in the 308 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: other direction as this thing falls apart because it's unsustainable 309 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: financially and there's just not the housing for these people, 310 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: and they need so much more help in housing. We've 311 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: always said housing first is a dopey approach to this. 312 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: People have to start taking responsibility for their problems and 313 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: getting their act together with mental help and addiction help. 314 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: Why don't these people apply for welfare benefits, food stamps, Medicaid. 315 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: We have all these extremely expensive, very generous, two generous 316 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: programs in California. Why don't they get the checks? Why 317 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: don't they apply? Fill out the paperwork, go to an office. 318 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: If you're gonna spend seven years on the street, make 319 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: your way to a government office. Because if you have 320 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: welfare and food stamps and Medicaid coming in, you don't 321 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: have to live in a tent. I mean, there's thousands 322 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: and thousands of people who are living off the taxpayers 323 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: who aren't living in a tent because the people in 324 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: the tent are the crazy people. Ten minute counseling sessions. Okay, 325 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: so that that's inside safe. Here's some zolof to sedate you. 326 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: What you've heard us use the term the homeless industrial complex. 327 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: That's what we say. 328 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: That's where your billions of dollars have gone that the 329 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: state has spent on homelessness. 330 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: It goes to this huge. 331 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: Complex of nonprofits and politicians and builders. And great story 332 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: when we returned to the good example, it's a small 333 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 2: example of this with a good example of how this 334 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 2: really works.

She's 392 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: the main author of a bill that would punish the 393 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: child sex traffickers with longer prison terms, make it a strike. 394 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: Three strikes laws. 395 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 2: That bill passed the State Senate and then just hit 396 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: a wall on the Public Safety Committee the Assembly, and 397 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: with all of the uproar over their decision to kill 398 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: the bill on Tuesday, it came back today and it 399 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 2: passed remarkably. 400 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: Most of the Democrats voted yes. 401 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: Two of them continue to abstain, but it passed six 402 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: nothing and it moves on to another committee in the 403 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 2: Assembly and even for a full Assembly vote. 404 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: So one who abstained was Mia Banta, the wife of 405 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: the Attorney General Rob Bonta, who wants to be governor. 406 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: So just to mark this down somewhere in your brain 407 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: that his nutty wife thinks it's okay for men to 408 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: buy and sell little girls for sex. Right, all right. 409 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: We've talked many times on this show about the homeless 410 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: industrial complex, and of course it is vast. It is 411 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: where the billions of dollars spent in California really ends 412 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: up with all the middlemen and with no progress. But 413 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: because that's such a great deal for a lot of 414 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 2: the middlemen, it's sort of like the high speed rail. 415 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: The executives at high speed will continue to pay and 416 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 2: all the contractors and consultants taking big bucks. Who really 417 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: cares about building a rail line? Oh yeah, right, the 418 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 2: money's still coming. What have we blown on high speed rail? 419 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 2: Fifteen billion dollars? So who cares about housing these people permanently? 420 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: The money's still coming. Here's a small example of how 421 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: the homeless industrial complex works. There is a new city 422 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: attorney for Los Angeles. Her name is Heidi spelled Hyde. 423 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 2: That's a new one, Heidi feldsteam Soto. That's a lot 424 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 2: of the way, John, what happened to Mike feuhor anyone's 425 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 2: seen him? And he ran for mayor and he was 426 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: city attorney. Now Mike fuer with the bad mustache. Uh, 427 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: what's he doing now? 428 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: I wonder? I don't know. Now he'll run for something Mooney. Well, 429 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: he's probably got a law license. So no. 430 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: Well, anyway, she's the new Los Angeles City attorney. She 431 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: got elected last year and in March she's standing there 432 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 2: with Karen Bass and they made an announcement. We've talked 433 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: many times about this skid Row Housing Trust. That's the 434 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: other problem with permanent housing. They own twenty nine buildings 435 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: near downtown LA where supposed to permanently house the homeless. 436 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: It has been a disaster. In fact, it's bankrupt. The 437 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: tenants just tend to tear up the rooms, the places 438 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 2: rife with gang members, drug sales. 439 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: It is a complete disaster. All those redemption stories, yes exactly, yeah, yes, right, 440 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: And this. 441 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 2: Is what happens when you allow people to you know, 442 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: gather their own lives, to throw them into housing without 443 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: taking care of their problems. 444 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: Get give all the homeless their own apartments. See what happens? Oh, look, 445 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: at that they destroyed it. Wow, who would have sometimes 446 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: two or three times over. Yeah, So they had to 447 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: spend so much money on repair and maintenance and security, 448 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: and they're bankrupt. So they appointed and this was the 449 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: announcement in March, a man by the name of Mark 450 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: Adams to take over as the trust's receiver. That would 451 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: be the guy that's handling all the financials if you 452 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: have to borrow money to try to keep this thing going. Well, 453 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: he's already been dumped. 454 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 2: But here's where the homeless industrial complex and the world 455 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 2: of politics comes into play. 456 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: What do you know, Mark Adams helped raise. 457 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: Money for this HEIGHTI fine Feldstein Soto becomes city attorney, 458 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: gave her eighty five hundred dollars and held a big 459 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 2: fundraiser for her. So his payoff was to be named 460 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: the receiver. 461 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: Now that is corruption, right, I mean, that's that should 462 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: be bribery. He got this, she got this well paying job, 463 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: opportunity to be the receiver for this bankrupt destroyed skid 464 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: Row Housing Dressing trust. And it's clear he had no 465 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: business getting this job. I mean threw him out in 466 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: a matter of months. Yeah, I mean, he got the 467 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: job in March it's only July. 468 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: A Times review of Adam's prior cases, published soon after 469 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 2: his appointment showed multiple instances of property owners losing their homes, 470 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: tenants left at risk of eviction, and judges and local 471 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: governments finding that Adam's firm overbuild by six figure amounts. Okay, 472 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: so they could have done the same type of research 473 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: and said no to this guy, but that city attorney 474 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: wanted him. 475 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: Well because he's connected to her. Yeah, because he wrote 476 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: her a good check, he raised money for her, So 477 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: of course he's going to get the job. And it 478 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: didn't matter if he was good or not. There was 479 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: a roulem. 480 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: It an open ended no bid position without a formal 481 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: background check, no bid back. 482 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: That's right, no bids. He was just it. 483 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: They just said, I guess. The city attorney said to 484 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 2: bass I got a guy. She said sure, and. 485 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: They brought him in. Can you imagine? And he was 486 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: a disaster. This is twenty nine buildings. There's hundreds and 487 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: hundreds of vagrants. There's a large percentage of these apartments 488 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: are our wreck and they give it out to the 489 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: first the first shister that shows up at the front door. 490 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, And Feldstein's Soto response as well. He was widely 491 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 2: considered to be the state's most experienced receiver. Really, even 492 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: though apparently a background check shows he wasn't very good 493 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 2: at it. 494 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: Experience doesn't mean you're very good at it. You know 495 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: what I had. There's a quote here from one of 496 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: these professional scolds named Sean McMorris. Works for California Common Cause. 497 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: It's a good government nonprofit organization. All right, it's a 498 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: bunch of good government scolds. Wow, this is the way 499 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: you should be doing it. In fact, he is the transparency, 500 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Ethics and Accountability program manager. Huh wow, he's got his 501 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: own racket going there. Called Feldstein Soto's actions a clear 502 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: dereliction of duty. To miss all these red flags, I 503 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: think is troubling. Don't you understand red flags weren't missed, 504 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: They weren't looked for. It. They weren't looked for because 505 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: this guy Adams was paying his way in. 506 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, he bought the receivership by you donating to her 507 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 2: campaign and organizing a big fundraiser for her. 508 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: So he's what's your payoff? It didn't matter to Feldstine 509 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: Soto what was going on. She got campaign money, so 510 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: he gets he gets a cool job. He doesn't have 511 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: to do anything. In fact, nobody's expecting him to do 512 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: anything because the place is a disaster. These buildings probably 513 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: are gonna end up getting bulldozed and all the vagrants 514 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: are gonna get thrown out into the street. 515 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: Again, there's three million dollars of unpaid bills from just 516 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: the three months he was the receiver and including hundreds 517 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: of thousands owed to his firm, oh, to him personally 518 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 2: and his firm called California Receivership Group. 519 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: Uh, that's a racket, Okay, it's it's. 520 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: It's This is all part of the homeless industrial complex 521 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 2: that we've talked about. This is what's up the money, 522 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: all the middlemen and their political connections. 523 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: This is just one story. There's probably a thousand of 524 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: these stories. Oh there is. 525 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: That's why I said this, it's a small example an 526 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 2: idea what we're talking about all these homeless non problems 527 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: because you know, you go back ten years when there 528 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 2: was hardly a problem, and there was hardly any government money. 529 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: Available for the problem. Right now, what did all these 530 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: people do for a living ten years ago? How many 531 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: nonprofits were created in recent years by politically connected people 532 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: because they knew they were going to get a gold 533 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: rush of tax money, millions of dollars in grants, millions 534 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: of dollars in payments, and that they'd be able to 535 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: work themselves and hire their friends and relatives for six 536 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: figure salaries. And you never had to prove that your 537 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: nonprofit worked, that it did anything useful. There's no metric. 538 00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: Nobody was checking, nobody knows, nobody cares, all right. 539 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: Our guest after three o'clock is State Senator Shannon Grove 540 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: from Bakerfield, the Republican, the main author of the bill 541 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: to punish more severely the child sex traffickers.

She 559 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: like she's crying, and. 560 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: She told off those CEOs. So you know that they're 561 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: claiming poverty and they're paying themselves millions and millions of dollars. 562 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: She's right, yeah, but we always hear that argument. 563 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: Even if they dumped all their millions back to the 564 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: actors and the writers and the rest, it's. 565 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: Not that much money, so why it's not going to 566 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: cover them all? But do they deserve that kind of 567 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: money if their companies are struggling financially? 568 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: Did they complain about that money before streaming and the 569 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: way this hall changed? 570 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: No, they never did. 571 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: I don't think they screamed the pay that the executives 572 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: got twenty ten years ago. 573 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: Because they were then they were paying the actors and 574 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: writers fairly and now they're not. They don't want to. 575 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: We don't know what fairly is because this economic model 576 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: is brand new, and I have a feeling, I mean, 577 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: you saw that report today that Bob Iger is thinking 578 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 2: about selling the TV stations that I well. 579 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: The streaming is destroyed. Broadcasting cable television to a large extent, 580 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: just destroyed it. There's no money anymore. That's why it's continuous. 581 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: Like I said, there's too many streamers out there spending 582 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 2: so much money on product. 583 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: It's just not covering the costs. 584 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 2: They wouldn't have to make your streaming bill fifty dollars 585 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: a month, and no one's going to pay that. So 586 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: they have to always look at this balance they've created. 587 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: How far can they go charging people for these for 588 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: these shows? Well, they created a bad business model model. 589 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: Yes you can't. 590 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: You're just going to need time to figure its path 591 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: and it could take another many years. 592 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: Eventually they'll figure it out, and they want their residuals. 593 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: And why didn't you release the ratings on which shows 594 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: are popular? Something is making people pay twenty bucks a 595 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: month for Netflix. Some of those shows are so the 596 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: people involved in those shows ought to be getting a cut, 597 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: all right. 598 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: The guest after three o'clock is State Senator Shannon Grove, 599 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: who will talk about our bill, Senate Bill fourteen, which 600 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: finding made it to the Public Safety Committee the Assembly 601 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 2: today which will punish the child sex traffickers.

Who's this judge? 653 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 2: Everything was fine until June third, when Martell began drinking 654 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 2: and engaging in drug use. Then he put the new 655 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: kitten into a tub of water. His girlfriend allegedly saw 656 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 2: him pull the unresponsive kitten from the water and tried 657 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: to revive it by performing CPR with his thumb.
