You can 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: leave a message to the iHeartRadio app he was in 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: the microphone icon, or call the toll free number one 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: eighty seven seven Moist eighty six twenty seven seven six 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: sixty four seven eight eight six. All right. Westchester, on 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: the west side of LA Mike Bonnen's district has had 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: problems for years with the out of control vagrants, mental patients, 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, people who are seriously matively disturbed, and drug 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: addicts of all kinds. And Bonnen has insisted allowing encampments 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: around schools and parks. Still going on, We're gonna talk 11 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: with Debra Houston. Now. Bonnen has some kind of wacky 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: plan to let vagrant park in Westchester Park first over night. 13 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: I guess there are vs and stuff. Well, first we've 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: heard of this one. He just won't quit. I mean, 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: he's going to be out of office in three and 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: a seven months. Yeah, all right, let's get let's get 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Deborah on. How are you hello, ered, Thank you for 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: having me. What is this about? Oh my gosh. Mike 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: Bonnen wants to put twenty four hours safe parking in 20 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: Westchester Park. He wants to have homeless people living there 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: all day when the children are there. This is very 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: different and more substantial than parking at night. There are 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: very few rules for the people who live there, no 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: prohibition on funds, weapons, drugs, fires, cooking. So this is 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: going to be like the Wetlands. In fact, he hopes 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: scoop some people from the wetlands to our park. Are 27 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: you going with the Bologna Wetlands right, Yeah, they wants 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: to move the Wetlands crowd to your park. Yes, not 29 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: all of them. He wants to move some to our 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: part park. And he's trying to get the FAA and 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: LAWA to approve the use of Northside Parkway right along 32 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: the northern runway of lax and have twenty five RBS 33 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: moved from the wetlands there. I'm sure the FAA is 34 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: going to have none of that. And what is what 35 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: is that area? That is that is like a park 36 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: lane area next to the runway. It's a street, it's 37 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: a street. The street is called Northside Parkway. It's a 38 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: poor lane street. It runs parallel to the runway. So 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: the RBS from the Wetlands would be moved like a 40 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: hundred feet from airplanes on the runway. Oh, that's not 41 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: a good idea. No, no, it's terrible, all right. So 42 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: I imagine everybody in the neighborhood is very upset, right, 43 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean, are there people not upset or are the 44 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: people who campaign to let these vagrants live in the 45 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: parks and live near the kids. Before Bonnen decided he 46 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: was not going to run for office again, his approval 47 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: rating was eight percent, So we do have those eight 48 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: percent here in Westchester. He does have some supporters who 49 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: believe him, follow him, believe everything he says, and they 50 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: will support him. You saw the city council meeting where 51 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: the issue of a band automatic band on camping your 52 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: schools was taken up. There was a room full of 53 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: people who supported What are those are insane activists, anarchy 54 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: types who are really committed to undermining our way of life. Yes, 55 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: I was talking about just your regular neighbors. There can't 56 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: be many people who want this, No, they're very few. 57 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: But there are some who support him, a very small 58 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: minority of people. If his approval rating is eight percent. 59 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: One of the candidates is Aaron Darling, and he's he's 60 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: Bondin's protege and he's been in a dead heat with 61 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Tracy Parks, who's a rational person. Well, why is there 62 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: why is there support for Darling when Darling is a 63 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: copy of Bonding, just younger Darling. I have heard engaged 64 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: in a lot of ballot harvesting, or someone engaged in 65 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: that for him. So people in jails and prisons were 66 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: registered to vote, Homeless people at homeless encampments were registered 67 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: to vote. So there there's information going around out there 68 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: about that. So I'm sure the candidates who are opposing 69 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: candidates supported by the Democratic Socialists of America are finding 70 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: ways to strategize to to get the votes they need 71 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: to win. When is this project supposed to take place? 72 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: When are they going to be moving people to the park? 73 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know when it would actually be set up, 74 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: But the first we heard about it, any confirmation from 75 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: Bonden's office, was a week ago when one of Bonnen's 76 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: staff members appeared at our neighborhood council meeting and said, 77 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: this is what Bonnen is planning. We had been filing 78 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: Public Records Act requests, We had been emailing Bonnen, calling 79 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: Bonnen's office, calling a staff people, trying to get information. 80 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: They were a brick wall of silence. We were completely 81 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: excluded from the public. Well that's the plan. I mean, 82 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: that's that's what they've done repeatedly. They know what they're 83 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: doing here. They sneaked this on a neighborhood. They've already 84 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: got their paperwork in order to do it. They already 85 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: had the plan in order. They expect you to call 86 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: and scream at them, and they just they just block 87 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: the emails, block the phones, lock the doors and not 88 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: respond and they wait until you get exhausted. Right, So, 89 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: we had a big protest today. We had four news channels, 90 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: news stations there, we had KFI there, and we had 91 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: two print media outlets there today. So we are going 92 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: to get a lot of prints over this, and we 93 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: are going to shine the light on the fact that 94 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: Mike bun And excluded our entire community from this process. 95 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: And this isn't the first time he's done it. This time, 96 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: we were a little prepared because we were filing Public 97 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Records Act requests, so we got a little bit of 98 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: information here and there, and we put together an Action 99 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Network petition and as a result of people signing that, 100 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: I believe we're at nineteen thousand letters were sent to 101 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: twenty three public officials and we're still collecting signatures. So 102 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: on Thursday, the day after tomorrow, a week and two 103 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: days after we found out about Bonden's plan, the rap 104 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: commissioners will vote on this. And this is what kind 105 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: of commission the recreation in part recreation And do they 106 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: have a binding vote here? Yes, they do because Mike 107 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: Bonden managed to skirt any requirement that he go to 108 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: this full city council for a vote. He got his 109 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: money from the county. The county Board of Supervisors gave 110 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: bond and money to uh do what he needed to 111 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: do to build this twenty four hour safe parking, So 112 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: there's no appropriation of money and no need for Bonnin 113 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: to go to the city council for a boat. I 114 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: believe you notice the propaganda this twenty four hour safe parking. Yeah, 115 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: classic propaganda move there right it is well, uh, I mean, 116 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm just plumbox to how this this goes on and 117 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: on and on and how how how he doesn't care 118 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: about all the damage he does to a neighborhood and 119 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: the threat that opposes to the children. There no absolutely, 120 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: one day, some really unspeakable tragedy is going to happen, 121 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, I've at a lawsuit. Is there any 122 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: avenue there? We do have an attorney. Well, let us 123 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: know what happens here, all right, I will let you know. 124 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate you all getting involved in this and helping 125 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: make this public. What is going on here is work 126 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: in the Nazi era or it's horrible? Yeah, it is 127 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: all right. Thank you for coming on, Deborah. Okay, thank 128 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: you so much. A right, that's Debrah Houston, a resident 129 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: of the Westchester neighborhood of la once again Mike Bonnon's 130 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: district council District eleven. He's out of office in December, 131 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: but if his protege wins, things won't get any better. 132 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: You should vote for at Tracy Park for that position. 133 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: But this is about Bonnon's idea. I think he had 134 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: this idea before to put permanent parking for the homeless 135 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: in Westchester Park. Yeah, this was on his list back 136 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: when he wanted to get permanent parking. Remember Pacific Halisades. 137 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: He wanted to put will Rogers State Beach parking Roger 138 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: State Beach Parking Lot. Okay, and that was one of 139 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: about I don't know six or eight parking lots that 140 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: he wanted to turn into twenty four hour parking and 141 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: somehow Westchester survived. Everybody freaked out over will Rogers State 142 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: Beach turning into a vagrant zombie land. We're coming up, 143 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: John and Kankfi. Yeah, but we know we haven't talked 144 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: about in a while, and it's certainly making the news again. 145 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Is Ukraine. You've probably been reading stories that they're taken 146 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: back some of their territory from the Russians. The Russians 147 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: are retreating in several parts, mostly the eastern part of Ukraine. 148 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: Territory that they had previously taken apparently is now being 149 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: conceded as Russian troops withdraw and the pathetic story today 150 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: for the Russians is that the Ukraine Ukrainian Defense Ministry 151 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: said it shot down an Iranian made Russian drone over 152 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: the city of Kharkief today. So they're getting apparently weapons 153 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: from Iran. They're so desperate the Russians that they have 154 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: to get drones. Oh, they're out of their own supply, 155 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: apparently they are, so they're getting some munitions, it says 156 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: here in the story from Iran and today the Ukrainian 157 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: shot one down and provided photographic proof based on the 158 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: labeling on the drone that it's it's probably an Iranian 159 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: made drone. Apparently, I didn't know this. Putin visited Iran 160 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: in July. He's made an alliance to some extent with 161 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: China and Iran, and he's, oh, yeah, he's selling a 162 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: ton of oil to China and to India, and he's 163 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: got the weapons deal with Iran, so all our sanctions 164 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: haven't really meant anything. He found other markets. He's making 165 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: plenty of money selling his stuff, but apparently has a 166 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: pathetic army. Yeah, the armies. The army's no good. I 167 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: saw a video today of them all lying down on 168 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: the ground. They had just surrendered a whole bunch of 169 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: Russian soldiers. I read. I read at one military base 170 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: where the Russians, you know, had had had an outpost 171 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. They saw that the Ukrainians were coming and 172 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: they actually left a white flag and they fled. I 173 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: didn't realize they still did that. The Ukrainians showed up 174 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: and they're looking at a white flag. It's like, hey, here, 175 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: you can have it, it's yours. Apparently it's a lot 176 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: of young, ill equipped guys who just like kind of 177 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: shaking their heads and saying I'm not in this anymore, 178 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: because they were I want to get out of here. 179 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: They were all recently drafted. They were drafting tens of 180 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: thousands of replacement soldiers because tens of thousands had gotten killed. 181 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: And so the Ukrainians took over a thousand square miles 182 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: of land, a thousand square miles. And I saw one 183 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: quote from a military analyst who said, either the Russians 184 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: are so incompetent that they didn't realize that Ukraine was 185 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: building up, you know, a mass of soldiers and equipment 186 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: for the invasion, or they were They're so incompetent that 187 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: they knew it was coming and still couldn't do any 188 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: about it. Either one's a bad choice. They're pretty excited 189 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. But now the question becomes, will Putin do something? 190 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: Bigger's looking desperate? Well, yeah, the old nuclear button story again. 191 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: Well he's got five thousand missiles. What's the point of 192 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: even been having five thousand missiles if you can't use 193 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: them to bail you out of a losing war? Yeah? 194 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: Will he rationalize this as well? You know, if I 195 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: can get Ukrainian surrender, I can save lives over the 196 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: long run. So this isn't a ten year war. So 197 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: I'll blow them up with nukes and get them to surrender, 198 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: and you know, that way we'll save some people. Right, Well, 199 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: that was Harry Truman's idea, a kind of our Japan. Right, Yeah, 200 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: we invented that. Actually, he'll borrow that from us. Right, 201 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: it was good enough for us to be good enough 202 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: for him, because anybody's in the position now where he 203 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: knows that Ukrainians are not going to be easy to overcome. Here. No, 204 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal says they've taken back thirty five hundred 205 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: square mile oh from the Russians, right, thirty five square miles. Wow, No, 206 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: this is this is really humiliating. And even senior Russian 207 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: officials over the weekend conceded that it's going badly and 208 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: he's starting to hear criticism on even the pundits on 209 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: state TV. He's just going to say the propaganda channels 210 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: are turning against him. Oh, he owns and he runs 211 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,479 Speaker 1: those TV channels, and they've been criticizing him. Their suggestion 212 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: is whatever territories he's still control in Ukraine, clamped down 213 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: on the people there, make them pay to show the 214 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: others that they better not foment an uprising. I don't 215 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: think you can intimidate the Ukrainians. No, this is this 216 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: is like one of the great revolts you'll see in 217 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: your whole life because because Russia. I remember at the 218 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: beginning of the war back in February, I was looking 219 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: at all the numbers that they published, just how many 220 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: more soldiers they had, how many more weapons, how many 221 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: more tanks, how many more everything? And it wasn't even close. 222 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean some of the CA sgories it was like 223 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: eight to one, ten to one. You've looked at that 224 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: and says, well, there's no way they're gonna win. It 225 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: looked like, uh yeah, an NBA team running up against 226 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: a junior high school. And then we had Zelenski member. 227 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: He was begging for air support and no weapons and nothing. 228 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: Now we did nothing, but boy, they've held out strong. 229 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean we gave him a lot of weaponry. 230 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: We have spent tens of billions of dollars, and that's 231 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: good news for our defense industry because all that's got 232 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: to be replaced. So yeah, it says that apparently the 233 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,479 Speaker 1: Russian military has been battered and degraded, both the equipment 234 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: and the people Yeah, and they're at a turning point 235 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: here where they can either try to push this to 236 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: the end or just completely give up. Right, So, yeah, 237 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: they're there. He's gonna have to launch nukes to save face, 238 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: because he's not nukes or big nukes's the question. That's 239 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: his choice. I mean, he could just start annihilating the 240 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: land in Ukraine because once he starts launching these things, 241 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: you won't be able to touch the land for a 242 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: million years. Another pointless video call where nothing gets done. 243 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: I think you're on mute, David H. Sorry, what did 244 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: I miss it? Just approved Mirrow for the whole company. 245 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: MIRO that's the online whiteboard for team collaboration.

I thought that there was his 260 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: way of threatening them. You know, well, you know I'll 261 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: blow us all. That's why I built the bomb shelter. 262 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, the bomb shelter.

Johnny KNT Caffie. Oh, it's a fine afternoon. 269 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: The heat has received a little bit. We're gonna take 270 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: a little trip to Bidenville. At five o five. Check 271 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: out Old Joe, who remarkably decided to hold the celebration 272 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: for the Inflation Reduction Act that he signed last month, 273 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: although we got audio where he can't remember when he Anyway, 274 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: on a day when the new inflation report is horrible, 275 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: she couldn't have better timing, and he went They had 276 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: a celebration today. This was a choreographed celebration that they 277 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: have conquered inflation and the inflation members. They had planned this. 278 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: They went ahead anyway. Despite the report this morning, the 279 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: inflation is still intolerable. This is fascinating. I mean, this 280 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: is how our whole political world runs. Just constant lies 281 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: and propaganda, and let's see how many people get sucked 282 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: into it. It's the word of the year. Gas lighting. Gaslighting. Yes, 283 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: making you believe that something is happening to you is 284 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: not really happening to you comes from as no inflation 285 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: because I say so. Yeah. It's like Kamalahara said on 286 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: that interview about the port to the port to secure 287 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: because we want it to be secure. That's all you 288 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: need to know. You're not a hypervasion. It's a priority 289 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: for us. It doesn't matter what the issue is. It's 290 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: it's it's like you know Newsom insisting we have a 291 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: reliable triggle grid. They just say the opposite, yes, but 292 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: it was. You always like to say it's not what 293 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: they say, it's what they do. It's behind the scenes 294 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: or keeping the new plants open. The gas powered plants open, Yeah, 295 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: because they know the reality is if the power goes out, 296 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: they can't. They can't gas lights. You on that one. No, 297 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: oh no, your power is not out that you're imagining that. 298 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: That's right. Maybe you had to go check again to 299 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: hit the light switch. It's not a blackout. Do you 300 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: know what he did today? You very excitedly launched a 301 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: new abortion website. Yes, abortion dot dot gov. It's a 302 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: one stop shop if you want to end your pregnancy. 303 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: That's unpleasant. It is unpleasant. But he thinks this is 304 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: going to be a strong issue for him going forward. 305 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: He wants to meet the moment because he's gonna run 306 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: for president if Biden collapses. He wants people flying all 307 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: over from all over the country to come here. And yeah, 308 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: last I saw, there's still debating whether or not we're 309 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: gonna pay for it. Boy. And that's what I'm working 310 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: for every day, Huh, to pay for somebody from Mississippi's abortion. 311 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm working for the vagrants to come here from the 312 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: other forty nine states, to bring their drug addiction and 313 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: mental illness with them and lay in the street and 314 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: I'll pay for their new home. And then uh, and 315 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: the women could come and we'll pay for their abortions. Yeah. 316 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: I love this world we live in. That's why I 317 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: sometimes a kid, I dreamed of moving to California. Now 318 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: the dream has come true. I'm sitting there in your house. 319 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: You have no lights, no water. It's right, we don't. 320 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: We don't have water, we don't have the highest taxes. 321 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: You're paying for people's abortions, you're paying for homelessness. It 322 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: never goes away. Yeah, well, this is the American dream, 323 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: isn't it. It really is. Speaking of the homeless. There's 324 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: a story and they also gonna times today, and it 325 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: was always one of my favorites. Every time we hit 326 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: a hot streak, I like to talk about the cooling centers. 327 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: Remember that I always had good time with that make 328 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: your way to wear coolings. Nobody's showing up. I think 329 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: just had two weeks of really hot weather and they're 330 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: scratching their heads. Was no one's coming to the cooling centers? 331 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: I was laughing at loud this morning reading this. This 332 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: is one of those stories where I felt just absolutely 333 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: delighted all this babbling about the cooling centers. I mean, 334 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: how many times do we give an aspects here on 335 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: the station about the cooling center. You know, I pictured 336 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: no one that listens to CAFI has ever gone to 337 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: a cooling station. Probably not because because it looks like 338 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: all it is are vagrants that show up. That's what 339 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: they're Yeah, that was the emphasis of the story. Had 340 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: to get the homeless in there, because only two thousand, 341 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty six Angelino's visited the almost twelve 342 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: cooling centers for a for that hot period August thirty 343 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: first of September ninth, and they were surprised by that 344 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: they had nine centers open for ten days. Two additional 345 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: open the last week of the heat wave. That breaks 346 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: down to twenty one visitors per center per day, twenty 347 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: city of four million, twenty one per day. So these 348 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: are big, like wreck sometimes they're gyms, they're these big 349 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: rec centers. They open up a big room and the 350 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: air conditioned. They put out little chears for you to 351 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: sit on, and so what is that about two an hour? Maybe? Yeah, 352 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: And I wanted to fully staff. I wonder how many 353 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: people are they're working there. So listen, in case you 354 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: ever go to a cooling center, here's who's going to 355 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: be sitting next to you. They got a profile. They 356 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: got named Anthony willis Uh fresh from a homeless encampment 357 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: on Vermont and West third Street. And he had a 358 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: big fan, a big umbrella, go a hand fan and 359 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: a big umbrella, and he was drenching himself with ice 360 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: to stay cool. And he said he'd heard about the 361 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: cooling centers and he would go if he got a 362 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: free ride. Yeah, that was a complaint though homeless don't 363 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: have the transportation they need to build community hub cooling centers. 364 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: And I'm reading this something. I'll wait a second. We 365 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: gave you a cooling center, we're letting you sleep in 366 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: a public place. Now you want a free ride to 367 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: the cooling center. But there's always something more. There's always 368 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: a give me more. Wow. That's and I was just 369 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: reading that story about the two candidates that want to 370 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: replace Bonnen. One of them is Tracy Park who you 371 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: should vote for, and the other one is the guy 372 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: with the girl's name. And he was the one that said, well, 373 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: the homeless don't want to live in congregate living every 374 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: morning and you can't get them inside of us. They 375 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: have their own room, in their own place. Yeah, that's 376 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: another thing that got elevated. Okay, because because they say so, 377 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: we have to give it to them. So I have 378 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: to give them rides to cooling centers, have to give 379 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: them their own apartments solo. There's no roommates, none of 380 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: that stuff anymore. But my Anthony Willis was just getting started. 381 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: We don't have our phones charged all the time or GPS, 382 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: and most of the centers are towntown. Don't really go 383 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: to them because they're further from our encampment. We just 384 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: tough it out where we're at. This guy is thirty 385 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: five years old. Thirty five years old, and he doesn't 386 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: have a job, doesn't have a place to live, is 387 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: bitching about not having his phone charged all the time, 388 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: and he's not going to a cooling center unless you 389 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: send him a ride there. You go back and forth. 390 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: Have you ever Do you know anybody in your life 391 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: who makes that many demands? Right when I saw this headline, 392 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: thought this story is just going to be well, they 393 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: won't go because it's congregate and they don't want to 394 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: be there with other crazy people. But it's about getting 395 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: a ride, huh. Right. The big barrier here they're talking 396 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: about how some of the people are immobile, they're afraidy 397 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: they leave their tent, they'll have a stroke. Here's another guy, 398 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: Brian Vega, he's thirty eight. I don't know how you 399 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: live thirty eight years and you can't figure out how 400 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: to get a job, to get a little box apartment 401 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: with an air conditioner. I don't know how. What has 402 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: he been doing for last twenty years? Well, he does 403 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: live in an apartment. Yeah, he went to the cooling 404 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: center every weekday last week because his air conditioner was broken, 405 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: so his apartment got more than ninety degrees. So why 406 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: don't you get it fixed? Or here, here's something, get 407 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: a new one. How about a fan that helps a bit, 408 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: doesn't it? You're sit in a tub full of ice. 409 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: He sat on a steel chair alongside five or six 410 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: people each day he drove from Silver Lake. The guy's 411 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: got a car. Yeah, this guy, guy's got a car 412 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: and he Sitsumably has a job. He sits there from 413 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: eleven thirty am to seven pm. He sits in the 414 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: cooling center. But what maybe doesn't have a job. Yeah, 415 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how he works a night job, doesn't say? 416 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: And Vegas said he sat along five or six people 417 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: each day. Oh you you imagine what do you do 418 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: to stare at your phone? Sitting in they have WiFi. 419 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: I hope he brought his chart. Yeah, what I sit 420 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: to do? It sounds really boring, but you will be cool. 421 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: It sounds like some sort of weird like detention school. Detention. 422 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: You have to sit in the room for six hours. Yeah, 423 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: in a folding chair. People who cannot take care of themselves. 424 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: Another chapter on the Johnny Kin Show. More coming up 425 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: Johnny kN Cafe. I all right, well, old Joe had 426 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: to go ahead with the celebration today of the Billy 427 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: signed last month, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, which 428 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: doesn't do any of that. But still he picked an 429 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: odd day to do that because the latest inflation report 430 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: was pretty grim and it really killed the stock markets today. 431 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that in Bidenville coming up. After 432 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: the news had five o'clock. Well, I wanted to take 433 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: advantage of the heatwave. They also condo times as rolled 434 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: outs as reporters. We just told you. They did a 435 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: long story on why people aren't going to the cooling 436 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: centers around the city except for one guy who sat 437 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: there for seven hours and wondered why no one else 438 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: is here? A bunch of homeless people said they couldn't 439 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: get there, So, not to be outdone, they assigned a 440 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: reporter to ponder, how come the bus stops don't have 441 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: more shade. It's a long story too. The both stories 442 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: are really long. They spend a lot of time on 443 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: no shade at the bus stops, and nobody's showing up 444 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: at the cooling centers. It's pretty remarkable. These are the 445 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: two issues that The Times thinks we're all talking about, 446 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: we're all worried about, because somewhere in their assignments room 447 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: they were saying, we must do more stories on the underserved, 448 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: one of your favorite worthy underserved. They're not served enough shade. 449 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: They forgotten they're not served the people who take the bus, 450 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: the people who don't have air conditioning. Wow, how about 451 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: figure it out? This Apparently in Phoenix kids hot, doesn't 452 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: it degree? They have canopies and misters little spritzers. Yeah, 453 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: it's nice. Yeah, they must have more money there or 454 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, they choose to spend it on something practical. Yeah. 455 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: So they want them to put more trees and shade 456 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: up at the bus stops around the city so that 457 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,239 Speaker 1: writers don't have to search for a tree or some 458 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: shade next to a building to hide behind waiting for 459 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: the bus well. And in here it says that the 460 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: bus benches are uncomfortable because they put a metal bar 461 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of the bench. I've seen that, Yeah, 462 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: to keep from sleeping, right, I see it. There's a 463 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: picture of two kids sitting on one side of the bar, 464 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: which is probably why they don't have a roof on 465 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: the bus shelter, because then you'd have vagrants living inside. Yeah, 466 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: they don't want that to be your couch. You're your 467 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: plot bed. So if you give him a top to 468 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: the shelter and then you're giving them a nice bench, well, 469 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: good block at rid of them. Yeah. Even in my neighborhood, 470 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: where I do not have benches like you have, the 471 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: old fashioned wooden ones, there are there's black a vagrant 472 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: every week or so I see one sleeping on the bench. 473 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: That's that's that's an invitation. That's the kind of that's 474 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: the world we live in now. They did no transportation 475 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: planners at Metro don't keep track of their benches or 476 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: their shade. Oh that's just terrible. They never thought of it. 477 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: But and they elsa go under times is horrified. How 478 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: could you never think of the shade that people need? 479 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: How could they used to have what they called them 480 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: bush shelters and they had like a little curved top. 481 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: Do you remember seeing those or yeah, I've seen them. 482 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: Did that get smells like urine? And oh, you know what? 483 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: That's true? Burbank right there on the next block was 484 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: at Alameda. Do you ever walk back? I think that's 485 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: where the Art Radio theater is. There's a couple of 486 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: those bush shelters. I just, oh, they really stink. A 487 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: couple of times I've taken a walk around and I 488 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: walk past there in the urine is overwhelming because some 489 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: of the vagrants or whatever there are in burd Bank, well, 490 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: you go in there and sleep in this to pee 491 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: while they sleep. One night, a half mile from my house, 492 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: there's a gas station and we pulled up late at 493 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: night get to get gas. And on the on the 494 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: other side of the sidewalk, right right in front of 495 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: the gas station, there is a bus shelter and there 496 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: is a homeless guy and he's got just you know, 497 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: a thousand bags. He's got all this stuff. He made 498 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: his own single person encampment on the bench. And I 499 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: didn't want to get out of the car because you know, 500 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: you get out of the car, he here's you. Now, 501 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna come over. He's gonna want money. It's dark 502 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: and I think it. Come on, why did you pick 503 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: here because it's a bus beat. I wanted to get 504 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: rid of the bus bench. No bus benches big people stand, 505 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: Go buy a car. I So the big debate in 506 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: this story is this is how to make the writer 507 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: is more, particularly since you know climate change is going 508 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: to make more of this way. In the real world, 509 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: there is no debate. Nobody cares. Obviously nobody cares. Not 510 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: even the people in government care. Certainly the public doesn't care. 511 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: I've never passed a bus of a bus bench once. 512 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: Oh if there was only some shade there, well, I 513 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: might take the bus myself. And where is the cooling center? 514 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: In fact, can I have a bus to the cooling center? Please? 515 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: The median household income for sixty two percent of Metro 516 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: writers is under twenty thousand dollars. You know that's because 517 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: you're balancing the homeless. Yes, and then all the all 518 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: the immigrants that we let in. So if you know 519 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: they have they have no money, so of course they 520 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: you know, they don't have a car, they don't have 521 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: shade at the bus station, they don't know where the 522 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: cooling center is. I send this to somebody this morning. 523 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: I go, we cannot but government, it cannot be a 524 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: mommy to every lost soul that comes wandering in here 525 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: from all four corners of the earth. It's impossible. You're 526 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: responsible people. Welcome to California, because the government's here to 527 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: try to take care of your life for you and 528 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: figure things out. Nobody else does this, Nobody building centers 529 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: in shade. Oh you know what I forgot. I want 530 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: to mention this. Yesterday I think when we were talking 531 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: about the homeless fire at the VA. Remember all those 532 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: tiny homes one of the TV news stories I saw, 533 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, you know what was burning inside these tiny homes, 534 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: massive amounts of garbage. One of the homeless guy says, Yeah, everybody, 535 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: we're all a bunch of hoarders here. So inside those 536 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: tiny homes that they've been begging for, that we've been 537 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: guilted into paying for. Inside the tiny homes, in all 538 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: of them, massive amounts of trash. And that's why these 539 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: these things were burning so crazy. All right, Coming up next, 540 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: we're stepping out into the garden. We're gonna sit down 541 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: on the bath It's the bench. I hope it has 542 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: shade in Bidenville. Talk about inflation.
