All the wasted money in 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: this homeless scam that Karen Bass is running costs one 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year for some of 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: the motel beds used in the inside Safe racket. One 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four thousand, eight hundred and thirty dollars 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: to be exact for one section of Los Angeles. And 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: there are a number of sections where the price of 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: a bed is is just ninety two, one hundred and 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars. Let's get Jamie Page on to tell 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: us more. 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: Do you know how much money that would how far 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: that money would go in Oklahoma? By the way, one 30 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand dollars for one unhoused individual. 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: That's that's just so shot for a bed, right, it's 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: a motel room. 33 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: It's a motel room. 34 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Motel These places are so disgusting and dilapidated. If they're 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: used at all, they're used by pips and prostitutes and 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: drug runners. How the hell is the city paying one 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars for a motel bed? 38 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: Well, and if this story was about that's what it 39 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: costs all that, But also if you look into that, 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: that's not the sex story. To look at all these numbers. 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: But there's a lot cheaper. There's cheaper options out there 42 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: for us, including bridge homes or temporary camping sites that 43 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: we could be spending our money on. But these contracts 44 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: we just get with these hotels and motels and don't 45 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: ask questions about how much we're spending or why we're 46 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: spending what we are. While you and I have talked 47 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: about in the past, we can't get things like papols 48 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: filled because we don't have money in the city. 49 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: No, who's approving these. 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: Is this well, the council proved it, yes, it went 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: through the Homeless committee last week, and the city council 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: proved it yesterday. 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: So this just got to prove these prices that you 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: wrote about here, these are the latest prices approved. 55 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: It is, And you know, I just listen to your 56 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: and I think there's a few of us who are 57 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: paying attention and reporting on this, but I just feel 58 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: like there it needs to be more of a conversation 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: day to day. People need to be talking and asking 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: questions about how our money is being spent and why 61 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: we're spending so much money on a motel room for 62 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: nunehow's individual and in some cases you and I both 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: know this a lot of these folks come from other places, 64 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: and then you and I as packed payers or our 65 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: readers and your listeners are the ones who are putting 66 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: the dins. 67 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: This is what's crazy because if you if you just 68 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: like sketch out how this happens. You know, some some 69 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: drug addict gets on a bus, you know, out of 70 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: out of Texas right and makes his way to La 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: gets off the bus and Cara bask gives him a 72 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: hotel for one hundred and twenty thousand a year, a 73 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: motel room. I about blah blah, and this is supposed 74 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: to go on it definitely, And we've got tens of 75 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: thousands of these people. I don't understand what kind of 76 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: what's wrong with everybody in the city government. What is 77 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: wrong with them? What are they doing. 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: Rubber stamping some of these things through? I say, I, 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: you know this is I don't know why they're not. 80 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: When we budget, you look at your budget, you see 81 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: how much money you have, and you know what you're 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: spending year to year, right, Like, that's what our budgeting 83 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: is for. But it feels like the city for some reason, 84 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: just thinks that money grows on trees or for certain things, 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: it grows on trees next week. We're working on a 86 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: story next week's which I'm sure you'll find interesting, is 87 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: how much nonprofits have made since twenty fifteen since we 88 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: started voting for Measure Agent and HHH fund measure. 89 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: So, oh my god, you're gonna get me a stroke 90 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: with that one. 91 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: It's eye opening. I mean, we went from a deficit 92 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: homeless funding to hundreds of millions of dollars that we're 93 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: spending on and giving that profit. 94 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, so this is what I'm wondering that one 95 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars is that really going to 96 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: the company or the guy who runs the motel or 97 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: there's got to be kickbacks here. There's got to be 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: some kind of payoffs. If you have all these members 99 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: of the city council looking at that and saying one 100 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars for a motel bed per year, 101 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: that sounds about right that there's got to be a 102 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: payoff to them. How could there not be. That's the 103 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: only reason they would sign this off, because you're right, 104 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: there's all these other options that are much less expensive, 105 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: So why are they doing it? They have to be 106 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: profiting personally or their their their relatives or their buddies. Somehow, 107 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: somehow they are getting a cut of this. I have 108 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: to believe it, and I know you don't know that, 109 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: but there's no other explanation. 110 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: Well, even if you look at homeless housing, there's so 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: many layers of soft cost in there, right, so it's 112 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: it's built in. You just have to figure you just 113 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: have to follow the money and figure out why and how. 114 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 2: And we do need city council members who don't rubber 115 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: stamp these through and ask the questions, why are we 116 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 2: paying one hundred and twenty thousand dollars for a bed? 117 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: We're never going to dig our way out of this, No, 118 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 2: this is. 119 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Well, this is why we haven't. We've hardly made a 120 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: dent in the homeless problem because they're blowing excessive amounts 121 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: of money after you know, shaming and manipulated people's emotions 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: to two big propositions, you know, the county and the 123 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: city billions of dollars in money, and one of those 124 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: taxes just got got doubled and extended. 125 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: Indefinitely. Remember the Venice Bridge Home, by the way, we 126 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: did a report on that in twenty twenty two. The 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: two first years that was open we spent eight million 128 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: dollars on building it, five million dollars in operation feed 129 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: We only house thirty people through that. 130 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: What yeah, thirty? 131 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: These are the thirty people. 132 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: And we spent how much we spent eight. 133 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: Million dollars to build the bridge home and five million 134 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: dollars in operating costs. 135 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: Them first two years for thirty people. 136 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: For thirty people. 137 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: Oh that is that's just corruption that a lot of 138 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: those involved politically and on the inside that that's just 139 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: absolute corruption. They must be running off with just bags 140 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: of cash. It's unbelievable. Jamie, thank you for coming on again. 141 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: Of course, good talking to you. 142 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: Jamie Page. Westside Current dot com we got more coming up. 143 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 144 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: six forty. 145 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: Because we have one party in this state. You can 146 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: hear a report like Jamie Page just did from the 147 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: west Side Current. By the way, west Side Current is 148 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: this small online news site on the West Side. It 149 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: produces an incredible amount of material that we use here. 150 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: They're uncovering all the dirty stuff going on downtown. And 151 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: like like Jamie mentioned in a report, it doesn't seem 152 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: there's many reporters interested in this stuff at all, and 153 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: it's all really gross stuff. And it's amazing that this 154 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: this stuff is publicized. And if it wasn't a one 155 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: party state, wouldn't you have the attorney general investigating all 156 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: this fraud and all this theft. I have got to believe. Look, well, 157 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: let me finish, I've got to believe that a significant 158 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: number of city council people and their staff members and 159 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: their relatives are stealing money through all the homeless nonprofits 160 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: and through all the grant money that the city gives 161 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: out and all the payments the city makes. It's like 162 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: if you have some kind of motel and you're given 163 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars a year for 164 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: one homeless guy. I don't think the guy running the 165 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: motel demanded that much money. He probably never even asked 166 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: for it. Never in his wildest dreams would you if 167 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: you were running a motel, and again, all you're doing 168 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: is running out rooms to pimp's, prostitutes and drug addicts. 169 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: And the city comes and says, hey, would you take 170 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: in some homeless people. We'll give you one hundred and 171 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: twenty four grand per person for the year. So if 172 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: you take what eight people in that's a million dollars. 173 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 1: Are you going to actually ask for a million? No, 174 00:09:52,840 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: they offered it because part of the deal was we're 175 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: going to give you this million. But here's how much 176 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: is going to the councilman or the counselman's wife, or 177 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: the brother or the staff member and his brother and 178 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: his wife. That's got to be what's going on here? 179 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: And you know, normally the I mean the Attorney General 180 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: Rob Bonte should be investigating you know, from twenty different angles. 181 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: The city council ought to be investigating it, except they're 182 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: approving the payments. Can you imagine they constantly approved the 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: payments that if it was that they should be investigating 184 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: at just see current price today. And he's he's under indictment, 185 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: he's facing all kinds of felony charges. He's a jackass. 186 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: He used to come after us. And he fell over 187 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: on the ground during that ridiculous convention Center news conference 188 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: today having a panic attack because he realizes that, you know, 189 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: he's maybe this time next year he's going to be 190 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: in a prison. And how many others are Three to 191 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: four of the four others have already gone to prison 192 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: from the city council or the board of supervisors. I mean, 193 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: how many criminals you have to put away before you 194 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: just assume a majority of criminals? Right, And we've got 195 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: pretty small sample size. We only have fifteen council people, 196 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have about a third of the council 197 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: people in jail or they had been in jail recently, 198 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: or they're going to jail tomorrow. It's a criminal operation. 199 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: And that's just the stuff the FBI catches, and they 200 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: have to spend years documenting their case. Well, I'm sorry, 201 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: if you vote yes on one hundred and twenty four 202 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,119 Speaker 1: thousand dollars bed for a homeless person for her kakamami 203 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: inside safe nonsense, you actually willfully do this in broad daylight. 204 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: I got to assume you're getting a cut. I don't 205 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: know what else to think. And it's not the only one. 206 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: There are many, many of these contracts. How are they 207 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: not stealing the money? Now, I'm not saying you could 208 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: prove all this, because if you're good at it, you 209 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: don't leave behind a paper trail. You do like they 210 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: did it high speed rail. Billions of dollars a high 211 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: speed rail money disappeared and we sent in and all 212 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: everybody says, doing audit the front of audit, Well they did. 213 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: There was no paper trail. Nobody wrote down where the 214 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: money went. It didn't go from A to B. It 215 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: went from A to oblivion. Money's gone, but nobody knows 216 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: where the money landed. Same thing with the Lawson right 217 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: two billion missing under bass. But she just ignores it. 218 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: And then she holds a press conference and she screams 219 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: about something. Now she's screaming about how we're going to 220 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: Angelino's or going to rise to the occasion we're gonna 221 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: meet the moment we're gonna get the convention Center built 222 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: in two years. I'll stop it. You couldn't. You couldn't 223 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: build a doghouse in two years. You've never seen I've 224 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: seen such an incompeten city. They can't build anything, and 225 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: the things they do build get ruined by all the 226 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: graffiti animals and the criminals and the gangsters that run 227 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: free on their no bail policies. If they were normal, 228 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: they'd be embarrassed by all this, they'd be guilty, they 229 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: would be very emotionally upset. They're not because they're profiting 230 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: from it. And apparently there's nobody investigating on the state level, 231 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: because you go to Sacramento, they got all their own scams, right, knew. 232 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: Some lost track of twenty four billion dollars in almost money. 233 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: There was thirty billion dollars in unemployment money that disappeared. 234 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: There's the seventeen billion dollars in high speed rail money. 235 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: Nobody's upset the legislatures simply they said no, because they're 236 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: all stealing it. They've got to be. Every other place 237 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: I ever lived, including California, when you had a lot 238 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: of money disappeared by the billions, they were all kinds 239 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: of investigations going on, and people were indicted and tried 240 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: and put in jail, put in prison. That's what normally happened. 241 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Now everybody just laughs along because they're the ones stealing 242 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: the money.

And she actually investigated the background of 341 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: this and went to Coltrans and interviewed people there and 342 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: they admitted, and this is fifty years ago she wrote this, 343 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: They admitted that they were trying to control people's behavior. 344 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: They were trying to change the way people live and 345 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: force people to drive together in groups. And fifty years 346 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: nobody's followed that enticement. We effect the only time I'm 347 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: legally in there is if I'm with my wife or 348 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, family members. It's only families who get into 349 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: carpool lanes. Nobody carpools to work. It's kind of embarrassing. 350 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 6: Why is it embarrassing? 351 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: Embarrassing? Okay, here's a yeah, here's Fred. Yeah, he works 352 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: in the cubiclea next door to me, and you know, 353 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: we pick each other up every morning. That's it's weird 354 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: and creepy. 355 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 6: Sometimes people don't like to be alone. 356 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 4: And saves on gas because the gas prices are so ridiculous. 357 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: How many coworkers here would you like to be stuck 358 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: with in the carpool lane every day? 359 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 6: Maybe just a couple. The list is very short. 360 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You know, the California has 361 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: a thousand, one hundred and seventy one carpool lane miles 362 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: and the uh they think, now, maybe if the electric 363 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: vehicles are forced out of the carpool lanes, it's going 364 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: to increase the traffic in the regular lanes. But I'm 365 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: telling you go on you go on the ten Freeway 366 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: East where they have two carpool lanes express lanes that 367 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: they charge money for. They've got a toll on them. 368 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: Very few, very few people take them. In the times 369 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: I've driven on that freeway, four lanes all jammed, two 370 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: lanes nobody. And I'm looking at this, It's like, Okay, 371 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: who got this payoff? Who got this bribe to install 372 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: the fast track system? And who's the madiac at Coltrans 373 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: who tried to change the behavior of hundreds of thousands 374 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: of people every day and completely failed. Literally, nobody's using it. 375 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: I don't understand why people put up with this stuff. 376 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: One more thing. You know that they're going to redraw 377 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: the district lines. Yes, well, the Secretary of State sent 378 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: out congressional maps. Uh you know this. This special election 379 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: is costing two hundred and eighty four million dollars. Last 380 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: I saw it was two fifty Now it's two hundred 381 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: and eighty four million. And they sent out the congressional 382 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: district map as part of the voter guide. They got 383 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: the map wrong. I heard that they got the map wrong. 384 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: They had one draw One job is to draw the 385 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: lines properly for these new congressional districts so that we 386 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: only have Democrats representing us in Congress. This is Newsome's 387 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: big scam. And of course they want to confuse people. 388 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: So in order to confuse people, they make a mistake 389 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: and send out a bad map. 390 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 6: Are they going to send out a good map? 391 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: Yes, spending even more money. I was going to say, 392 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: and the La Times this is how they subtly downplay it. Uh, 393 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: California mailed inaccurate voter gods. Inaccurate. That's about as mild 394 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: a word as You're going to get a correction postcard 395 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: now sent with the correct map on it. And the 396 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Shirley Weber, Yeah, she's doing great. Another 397 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: good voting choice there. Accuracy and voter information is essential 398 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: to maintaining public trust in California's elections. I have no 399 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: trust in California's elections. As long as you have ballot 400 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: harvesting where people are going door to door in nursing 401 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: homes and illegal alien neighborhoods with ballots that are pre 402 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: filled out, there is no trust in the elections.
