19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: Then Tour Boulevard closed in both directions in Encino because

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: there is a stabber on the loose at Encino Hospital

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: and Medical Center there, So traffic on Ventura Boulevard in

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 1: that area and the surrounding side streets because they've created

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: a detour, has come to a dead stop and things

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: are slowing down on the one oh one, which is

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: just down the road there. So if you're trying to

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: go from east to west, west to east in the

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: valley in the Encino area, good luck tonight. Ken's way today.

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: But Rick Caruso is here. Rick is running for mayor,

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: as you probably know, and running against Karen Bass and others.

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: The primary is Tuesday, and we're going to talk to

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: him now, Rick, how are you. I'm doing great, how

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: are you? Thanks for having me on. It's great to

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: get you on. Let's get right into it. Overwhelmingly, obviously,

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: homelessness is the number one issue. And I'm thinking the

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: other day that a lot of people agree with you

36
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and they want to know how you're going to do it.

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: And obviously we can't get too much in the weeds

38
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: on the details. And you're going to learn a lot when, if,

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: and when you arrive in the mayor's office. But what's

40
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the general idea of what has to be taken care

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: of in the first weeks and months to get the

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: whole machinery working well. The details your listeners can go

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: to my website crusoecan dot com and there's a very

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: comprehensive plan. But the top line version John, is that

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: declare a state of emergency day one, bring the authority

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: to solve these problems into the mayor's office. Right now,

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: there's fifteen council districts doing it's fifteen different ways, and

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: you just can't solve problems that way. As you know,

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: and pull together the best and the brightest team. There's

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: examples all around the country and around the world of

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: how this has been solved. But we've got to get

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: beds built. I've got a plan to build thirty thousand

53
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: beds in a year, get teams and people on the

54
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: streets that can deal with the mental illness that people

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: are suffering from, the drug addiction that people are suffering from.

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: But the other problem we have is we've just got

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: to get people a better path forward. I mean, what's

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: happening right now is our leadership, including those I'm running against,

59
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: has allowed this problem just to get worse every year,

60
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: and it's inhumane, the conditions that people are living in.

61
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: We've got five people a day dying in skid row,

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: and so we've got to give them the mental health

63
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: they need, the drug addiction help, they need dry beds,

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: and then we've got to release all these terrible restrictions

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: we have in Los Angeles to get things built and

66
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: create a path where we can get housing built quickly

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: to provide homes. But you stop the encampments. We've just

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: got to end the encampments on the street, and it's

69
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: affecting our communities. I was struck when I saw interviews

70
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: with some city officials, including the mayor, and somebody would ask, well,

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: why can't you get this built quicker? And they would say, well,

72
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of city regulations. And I would be

73
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: shouting at the TV, but you are the city, it's

74
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: your regulations. Why can't you relax them or get rid

75
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: of them. Well, but that's the problem we have in

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: the leadership right now. It's always excuses. And you know

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: what drives me crazy is everybody that's running against me,

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: they've been in office for twenty years, Like, come on,

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: you've had a chance, and now you're saying you've got

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: the solutions. What have you been doing for the last

81
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: twenty years? Why has everything gotten worse under your watch?

82
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: You know? But I honestly believe they're well intended. They

83
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: just don't know what to do because they haven't had

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: the experience of really making tough decisions. And none of

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: them have had experience leading an organization, a complex organization

86
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: like the City of Los Angeles. You have to to

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: have executive skills. You can't be a legislative person. When

88
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: you talk about executive skills, what what is that exactly?

89
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: Because most people are not executives. Most people work for executives.

90
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: What are the things that you have to do that's

91
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: that's not being done right now? You have to know

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: how to lead. You have to know how to pull

93
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: people together. You have to know how to find common ground,

94
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: get people excited, set goals, hold people accountable, work to

95
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: those goals, Reward the people that are doing a great job.

96
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, start creating a momentum decision about forming another

97
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: committee to study homelessness. You know that my opponents talk

98
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: about we don't need any more studies. We know we

99
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: have a problem. It's getting worse, and I really believe

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: it's the moral and humanitarian crisis of our time. But

101
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: we've allowed so you've got to cut through it and

102
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: make tough decisions. I'll say one other thing. Career politicians

103
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: make decisions through the lens of you know, what decisions

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: should I make to make sure I get reelected or

105
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: get my next job in government. I don't have any

106
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: special interests. I'm not worried about a career change. I

107
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: don't want a career change. I want to go do

108
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: a job, work for the city, and then go back

109
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: to private life. It makes some change. I get to

110
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: wake up every morning and say what's in the best

111
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: interests of the residents of this city, and that requires

112
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: making some tough decisions, and that that's an executive that's

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: what you do. You talked about the things that you

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: would have done right at the beginning. You know, send outreach,

115
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, create beds for the homeless, and various programs.

116
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are thinking, God, we passed

117
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: two taxes to do this. We've spent billions of dollars

118
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: to do this. What goes on all day. I know

119
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: all these agencies have hired a lot of people. I

120
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people filling the cubicles, the offices,

121
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: and there's street outreach teams. Why is there not anything

122
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: accomplished At the end of the day, it's failure of leadership,

123
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: the failure of accountability. You know what I said at

124
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: the last debate, Let's just take skid Row that has

125
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: the worst living conditions you could ever see, you know,

126
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: dying on the streets. Like I talked about people living

127
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: in their own waste. Seven and a half tons of

128
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: trash a day is taken out of just skid Row alone.

129
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: And why isn't anything happening Because nobody's accountable. Everybody has

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: excuses and they point fingers at each other. I mean,

131
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: you could no more keep your job in private enterprise

132
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: operating that way. You wouldn't keep it for a nanosecond.

133
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: And all these small businesses around the city that have

134
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: encampments in front of them, they're dying, you know, They're

135
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: suffocating businesses, suffocating communities. So we just have this failure

136
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: of anybody to have any momentum, take responsibility to make it,

137
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: make a darn decision and get something done. And what

138
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: I've said is if people want more of the same,

139
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I am not your candidate. If you want some real

140
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: positive change and somebody that's going to make some tough

141
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: and good and fair decisions, compassionate decisions with the homeless. Zoe,

142
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: I'd be honored to be the mayor. And that's why

143
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: getting out the vote in the next couple of days

144
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: is really critical. We've got to get the vote out.

145
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: J and seventh is a critical date on Tuesday, and

146
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited about it, but I need everybody's support.

147
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Can you hang on for one more segment? Sure? Okay,

148
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the crime. That's issue one

149
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: A out there. Rick carus are running for mayor of

150
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and you've probably seen our John and Kaddon

151
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: election guide. Strongest endorsement possible to vote for Rick over

152
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: everybody else to be the next mayor John and Ken.

153
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: We've got Rick Crusoe on. He's running for mayor, as

154
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: you've probably heard, and we strongly, strongly endorse Rick as

155
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: the next mayor Los Angeles. Nobody else is even close.

156
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Let's get him back on the air. Rick, you're going

157
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: to deal with city council and you know Joe Buskayano

158
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: has endorsed your campaign and he was in many cases.

159
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: We only vote on the rational side of things. He'd

160
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: voted fourteen to one or thirteen to two. You're dealing

161
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: with a lot of resistance to change things when it

162
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: comes to homelessness and crime. How are you going to

163
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: manage it? How are you going to maximize the powers

164
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: of the mayor to do some things on your own? Well,

165
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, John, it's a good question, but I think

166
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: the mayor's got enough authority. Every city department, including the

167
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: police department, reports directly to the mayor, and I'm going

168
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: to use that authority. I don't think the departments have

169
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: been managed very well, and that's why we got a

170
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: lot of the problems that we're in. I will also

171
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: tell you that you know, there was a ship we

172
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: saw the other day, and you're right about Joe. I mean,

173
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Joe was a shining light on that city council and

174
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: what you saw the other day. Joe's been trying to

175
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: get this ban on encampments near public schools, and for

176
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of years he had no support on

177
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: the council other than maybe John Lee, who's also a

178
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: good and what you saw I think it was yesterday

179
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: day before that motion now passed because now half of

180
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: them are running for reelection, and we in this city

181
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: about what is really important, what's on residents minds and

182
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: evidence and homelessness and crime, and so what you know

183
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: elected officials respond to is the community, their voters literally

184
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: getting loud and saying we want change. And so part

185
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: of my plan, I'm going to work closely with the council.

186
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: I'll reach across the table, I'll find common ground. We're

187
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: going to figure out ways to work together. But it's

188
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: also bringing power back to the community at the local

189
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: level and making sure that their voices are heard. I

190
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: think the biggest complaint I'm hearing going all across this

191
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: city is they feel unheard by their leadership, and we

192
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: need to change that culture and make sure that everybody

193
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: working at city Hall realizes every day who they worked for,

194
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: and they work for the residents of the city. We've

195
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: had a lot of residents on the air as guests

196
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: to talk about their stories homeless encampments, intruders, just weird people.

197
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of emails and I know some

198
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: people personally, and one of the most common responses we

199
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: get in these stories at the end is I called

200
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: the police, and the police would show up and they'd say,

201
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, we'd love to help you, but our hands

202
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: are tied. Our hands are tied. I've heard that once.

203
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: I heard that like one hundred fifty times. How are

204
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: their hands tied? Can you untie them? Who's responsible for this? Well,

205
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: who's responsible for it is the Police Commission, and the

206
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: Police Commission reports to the mayor. And what's happened is

207
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: they then posed rules that have tied the hands of

208
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: LAPD and the men and women on the street, the cops,

209
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: they're very frustrated because they want to do more. They

210
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: want to fight crime, they want to hold people accountable.

211
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: They want the community to trust them and be responsive.

212
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we've got a police Commission that has

213
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: just changed the rules that on many cases don't allow it. Listen,

214
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: you've got John if you walk skid row. Just as

215
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: an example, this is happening throughout the city. There are

216
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: tents that are controlled by the drug lords and all

217
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: they're doing is just selling drugs. The drug lords don't

218
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: live there, they just sell drugs. They're uninterrupted by the police.

219
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: Everybody is pulled back. And I get what you're hearing

220
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: because I'm hearing it around the city too. The cops

221
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: show up and say, we're really sorry. We can't do

222
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: anything about it. That will change. Day one, when I'm herr,

223
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: I promise you. We had a woman on it from

224
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: Los Felis. She runs a local newspaper there, and she

225
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: was actually starting a recall effort. She describes herself as

226
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a diehard liberal Democrat and I can't

227
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: take this anymore because in the homeless encampment near where

228
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 1: she lived, the gangs were openly selling drugs and weapons

229
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: and it was right in front of her, next to

230
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: a school, and she couldn't get her counsel person to

231
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: do anything about it, and was just completely beside herself.

232
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: And it was hard to believe that that existed, but

233
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: that that that encampment is still there and they're still

234
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: selling the drugs and the guns out of the tents. Yeah,

235
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: and there's no reason why that doesn't get stop. Day

236
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: one when I'm herror, and I'll do it. I mean, listen,

237
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: we've we've created this environment in the city that there's

238
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: no accountability, the criminals feel and many times do get

239
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: away with everything and living it up a very weird,

240
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: weird time in the city. It's it's becoming somewhat dysfunctional.

241
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: It's scary. People are worried about their safety. They're worried

242
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: about going for a walk, They're worried about sending their kids,

243
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, down to the park. I mean, it's crazy

244
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: the things that we have to worry about now. And

245
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: this is why it's time for a change. And I

246
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: just don't believe from the bottom of my heart that

247
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: a career politician that has a whole bunch of special

248
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: interests supporting them is going to be able to make

249
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: the kind of changes that need to be made. You're right.

250
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a single conversation that my wife

251
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: and I have when we go out to dinner with

252
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: friends that doesn't eventually go into being afraid somewhere to

253
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: go out of the house, especially at night, just to

254
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: get out of your car and walk down the street,

255
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Like you don't want to go near a jewelry store

256
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: on your way to the restaurant. Hey, let alone. You

257
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: can't wear jewelry now, I mean women can't wear jewelry.

258
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: And you know, my wife and I used to walk

259
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: from our home down to dinner at night. We would

260
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: no more do that now, I mean, why take the risk,

261
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: and that's a terrible thing. I mean, the city's got

262
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: to be more livable. You know, this isn't the way

263
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: you want to live. La is one of the greatest

264
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: cities in the world, and it can change. It's going

265
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: to be tough work, there's no doubt about it. Of course,

266
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough. But I love taking out

267
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: tough situations. I built my career on that, and I

268
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: really do believe we can change the change the tide. Well,

269
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: we're big supporters here, Kenn and I and we're going

270
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: to be voting for you on Tuesday, and we've been

00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: telling people every day to do the same and we're

00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,840

Speaker 1: And I hope we can have you on again after

274
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,280

Speaker 1: but believe me, you've You've hit a chord throughout the

276
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: city like I haven't seen since I moved out here.

277
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: People are really receptive to want wanting a change, radic change.

306
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: get why the gas is going up. Jeez, it's just ridiculous.

307
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: Who's lying. That's too much money for any one person

308
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: to earn, especially for sitting there with sunscreen on their

309
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: nose and red trunks next to them firing the George

310
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: Floyd murder. The cops who were standing around doing nothing

311
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: were all criminally prosecuted during the Texas shooting. The cops

312
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: who were standing around doing nothing, shouldn't they all be

313
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: criminally prosecuted. I'm in the swimming pool business, and they're

314
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of gas pool heaters and make

315
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: them electrics. Does that mean our electric bills are going

316
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: to end up being a thousand dollars a month? John,

317
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: This is what they want. They want to destroy America.

318
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: High prices, high gas prices, unrest immigration. They are trying

319
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: to destroy America so they can remake it as a

320
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: communist nation. Three quarters of the amins don't go to China.

321
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: I worked in the industry for five years Europe and

322
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: the Pacific Rim, Japan, where our biggest customers still are.

323
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: And also research how many jobs in this country the

324
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: almond industry provide. Shasta County in twenty twenty one had

325
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: a rainfall of thirty eight inches. We don't have all

326
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: those silly water restrictions here and ford A. You know why,

327
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: because we're not California. Of course they getting reelected. What's

328
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: going on these Republican states? Banning abortion, forcing rate women

329
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: to have rapist babies, arming mass murders with the best

330
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: whipped buddy too buy Thank you Republican Oh, also bashing

331
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: on days we don't want that crap in California. Tell

332
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: the Republicans to stay home. Hey, why do you think

333
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: Newsom is so happy and so confident he's got the

334
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: mail in voting and once you know that, I'm transitioning

335
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: into a unicorn. Pictorina cheese does not come from cow.

336
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: Pipporina cheese comes from sheep. The translation of is the

337
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: sheep and Italian. If we have the technology and the

338
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: ability to build a gasline from Canada to Louisiana, then

339
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: we certainly have that same ability to build a water

340
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: pipeline from the Great Lakes to the headwaters of the Colorado.

341
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: Pretty simple to the chief say that when the parents

342
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: supped grieving, he would start to answer questions. Does he

343
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: not realize that the parents lost their child because in

344
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: activity of the police, and therefore they're never going to

345
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: stop green, You know, losing a child, it's going to

346
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: stay with them their entire life. So what is that

347
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: police chief thinking about. I usually agree with a lot

348
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: of you guys what you talk about on the radio.

349
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: But the thing regarding the water man, i'd tell my boys,

350
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: I've been telling them for the last twenty years. You

351
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: always got to conserve water, no matter if we got

352
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: a lot of it or a little bit. You just

353
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: don't waste that precious resource. Man. Do you guys know

354
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: that twenty percent of California's water supply go goes into

355
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: making every bottle of Newson's jail. I got a letter

356
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: from my landlord saying that she was not going to

357
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: be water in the grass anymore. So there I am

358
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: every night outside of my rented apartment, water in the

359
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: grass because you can't tell people to get off it

360
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: if it's not green. They will take my five gun

361
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: on toilet tank over my date bottom. Hey John, If

362
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: I see you out in the wild and Whole Foods

363
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: or something and I want to try to take a selfie,

364
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: is that going to be safe or are you gonna

365
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: charge at me and try to Gordon or something? What's

366
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: your safety zone? Is a twenty five yards like a bison?

367
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: Thank you for leaving your message. It was a holiday weekend,

368
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: was an LSD night tonight. I want to see you

369
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: take a selfie with someone at Whole Foods for sure. No,

370
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: I want no evidence. I go there under the rest.

371
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: Well what do you think? I shop for it at

372
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: Whole Foods for myself. But what they do have meat there?

373
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: I tried that a couple of times. And what's wrong

374
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: with it? Oh, we don't want to dispara I don't

375
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: want to disparage foods. It just doesn't taste like the

376
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: real Delis. I get the meeting because it's healthy stuff.

377
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: Well that's what I'm wondering, that there's something different about

378
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: it and I can't put my finger on it, but

379
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: it just doesn't It doesn't taste the same as if

380
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: I go to a Delhi. That's all in your mind? Well,

381
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: it might be, but it's the only mind I have. Yeah,

382
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: you know what, Okay, I imagine what it's like being

383
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: inside Oh no, no, can not. I wonder what it's

384
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: like being inside your mind. It's lovely, it's nice and healthy,

385
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: lot of birds chirping. And this headline got me. I

386
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: don't normally, you know, go for clickbait panic headlines, but

387
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: they provided a picture, so this is real. Gas has

388
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: hit nine dollars and forty five cents in Mendocino, California.

389
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. I've paid seventy nine dollars this morning for

390
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: thirteen gallons. Seventy nine dollars for thirteen gallons. That's I

391
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: have to I go to this cheap gas station in

392
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: the nights. I've mentioned it. I don't even know if

393
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: it's a real gas I don't know what it is.

394
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: Your car still running, so that's good. Yeah, so far

395
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: it is. But it's a real pain in the ass

396
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: because for some reason, the pump limits seventy five bucks,

397
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: which didn't used to be a problem. So it hits

398
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: seventy five and then I can't put in the same

399
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: credit card again because it assumes fraud, so it starts

400
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: telling me to go see the cashier because it's the

401
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: same credit card twice, so I've got to use two

402
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: different credit cards and two different pumps to get to

403
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: like one hundred and eighteen dollars worth of gas. I

404
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: got a twenty gallon tank, and it's chess. Are you

405
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: really saving that much money by going there and having

406
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: to deal with that? Well, the closest station in my neighborhood,

407
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: which is about a quarter of a mile away, is

408
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: six fifty five and this station six oz two. Yeah,

409
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: so another close station is six thirty something. The shell

410
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: I went through this morning was six thirteen, but I

411
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: get ten cents off with T Mobile, so I paid

412
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: six zo three six three. Well the one eventI as

413
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: I go too, that's about the bottom. I don't know

414
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: if there's anything still in the fives anyway. I think

415
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: I paid five to ninety nine earlier this week. Well

416
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: earlier this week. Yeah, that's that's a lifetime ago now,

417
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: because there were huge hikes. I think I might have

418
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: heard it on our news. There was there was. There

419
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: was a hike of about thirteen cents a gallon just

420
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: this week. The shell I went to yesterday, the shell

421
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: I went to yesterday it was six o three and

422
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: this morning it was six thirteen. Well, when I went

423
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: to this place in Van Nuys, the sign said six

424
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty three, but on the pump it was six zo two,

425
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: So I think the price is up twenty cents, but

426
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: they hadn't gotten to the pump yet to change the reading.

427
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: The average price of a gallon of regular gas in

428
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: La County is six twenty seven. That's a record, that's

429
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: the average. Yeah, that's well. In Mendocino it's nine forty

430
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: five for regular. If you want to get the high

431
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: octane ninety one octane, nine seventy six, so ten dollars

432
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: gas is only a quarter away in Mendocino, which is

433
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: up along the northern coast, let's say, near Fort Bragg.

434
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: Average price in Oakland six thirty seven. San Jose sixty

435
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: thirty eight, San Francisco six fifty. It's u it's all

436
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: over the state. And I still hear that the average

437
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: price across the rest of the country is in the force,

438
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: and everybody's outraged and angry, and they should be. But

439
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: please the fours. We're in the sixes. Those were the

440
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: good old day. We're in the sixes. Met Jcino. They're

441
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: in the nines. All right. More coming up. We've got

442
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: another round of the Moistline. What an exciting day. Caf

443
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: I Am six forty Cafie News, they'll stay on top

444
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: of that story. And Encino, we've got three stabbed in

445
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: critical condition. They were stabbed in a hospital and Encino,

446
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: two nurses and a doctor and the suspect barricaded inside.

447
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: According to the LAPD, that's the Encino Hospital Medical Center

448
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: and this happened earlier this afternoon, and that they've shut

449
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: down Ventura Boulevard in both directions. They've tried to create

450
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: a detour through the side streets, so the traffic is

451
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: terribly snarled around there, and it's going slowly on the

452
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: one on one nearby, so if you're going east to

453
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: west through the valley, it's gonna take you a while longer.

454
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: And that that has not yet been resolved in that hospital.

455
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: We continue here with the second round of the Moistline.

456
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: One eight seven seven Moist eighty six. Let's go. Hey,

457
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: this is John and this is Ken. We're so excited

458
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: to hear from you. It's about time Kevin Newsom to

459
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: water restrictions to stative emergency. Everybody who voted firm. I'm

460
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: sick of all of them. All they do is complain

461
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: about gas prices. You're the one that got yourselves there.

462
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: Stop voting. Let the people who work and pay taxes though,

463
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: shut the fuck up. I'm so sick of it. Leave

464
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: me alone. I will water my lane as many times

465
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: as I want to. If you want to not be

466
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: around people moved to a smaller city, there's plenty of them.

467
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: There's plenty of wide open spaces for you to be in.

468
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna have people, you need new people,

469
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: and we aren't creating enough new people, so we got

470
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: to bring in other people. How we deal with the

471
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: baby boomers, it's just mass did these people coming across

472
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: the border. Don't get thirsty. Give me a break. You

473
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: need air. Try going three minutes out of air, Kent

474
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: or John whoever? The as? How in the name of

475
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: creation can anybody claim that we're running out of water.

476
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: All of the water that has ever been on this

477
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: planet is still here. It's either in liquid as an

478
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: oceans or lakes, gas which is clouds, or solid, which

479
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: is ice. It might now be where the people are,

480
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: but we still got the same amount of water we've

481
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: always had. Another reason we should all go to electric cars.

482
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: Is no radiator that's trying to use water. You've got

483
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: this El Segundo Times writer talking about Rick Caruso, a billionaire.

484
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: He doesn't think he should be able to buy his

485
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: way into office using his own money. Where's Karen Bass

486
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: getting her money? And who's he going to be holding

487
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: too if she does get elected? What about Newsome's winery

488
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: or Pelosi's winery or any other politician that's got some

489
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: winery or far were stricted to water? Youths seven dollars

490
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: and forty two cents and grand bahamas for gas? Right now?

491
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: Why are you guys crying out there in California? They're

492
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: all nuts out there anyways. You gotta love the fact

493
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: that California and Governor Newsom are sitting on eighty billion

494
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: dollars in a surplus and he's putting no money into

495
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: protecting the schools. He's got all these other things that

496
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: he wants to spend money on special interest. The environment

497
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know about that guy.

498
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anybody knows how all the sample ballot

499
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: party preferences or the reading Democratic he's good a Democrat,

500
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: there's sure twisting their language around again. So let's go Brandon, Ojoe.

501
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: Why don't you take the weapons that are coming over

502
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: the border illegally and the weapons that the gang members

503
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: have off the street. Do that for a start. Thank

00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: listened to it and I'd send it around to other

512
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: people who might not know what they're doing. When it

513
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,480

00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: have to figure out a lot of the races yourself.

517
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: There's just too many local races going on for us

518
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: to research them all. But what really matters if you're

519
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: in LA is you vote for you vote for Rick

520
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: Caruso for mayor because there are a lot of powers

521
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: the mayor, has Cruso laid out in the interview, and

522
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: he could start on day one changing things. A lot

523
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: of this really was inflicted by Garcetti. Garcetti bad policies

524
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: or in action has created a cesspool here in Los Angeles.

525
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: He was capable, He did have the power to do

526
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: things differently when it came to homelessness and the police,

527
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: he chose not to. He chose either to implement bad

528
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: policies or do nothing about things. And it's quite a disaster.

529
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: And Karen Bass, she's from the Mike Bonnen Churge Gascone

533
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: Karen Bass is your woman. That's who she is. And

550
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: right because they know that people live down there and

00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: he wins. What if he gets just fifty percent, then

559
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: he's a vote short. Has to be an absolute mathematical majority. Okay,

Speaker 1: of an accident, runs into Encino Hospital, demands treatment, and

570
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: then just start stabbing people right here in Encino Hospital. Yeah,

571
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: I know. I didn't know that he had been in

572
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: an accident. That's what I heard. Let me, I'll read you.

573
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: The last thing I saw is, yeah, he stabbed two

574
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: nurses and a doctor. Yes, yes, here is a man

575
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: in his thirties abandoned his gray Chevy and polo. Maybe

576
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: it wasn't an accident. In the middle of vent tur

577
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Bolvard walked into the emergency room demanding treatment for anxiety. Right,

581
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how they know the dimensions of it,

582
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: but I guess it was important. I wonder if he

583
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: got motivated by the guy in Oklahoma. Oh, yes, doctor,

584
