Oh okay, 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: because he should have given it away. Then huh, well, 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: I you know it's a tease. You want to scare 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: her again. Yeah, that's scare the girl. All this could 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: be something she might do at home. He shouldn't. All right, Well, 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: the continued, Uh, you know, it's a debate and Sacramento 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: that pretty much doesn't involve that much of the legislature, 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: But there were Republicans. It looks like a couple of 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: Democrats who were continuing to make the effort to suspend 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: the California gas tax, which is over fifty cents a gallon, 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: at least to help get people through this period of 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: high gas prices somewhere reaching seven dollars a gallon. I 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: think in the Bay Area there's one or two gas 35 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: stations that are eight dollars a gallon. Some are doing 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: is too, because they know with Memorial Day weekend coming 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: for people to be driving, why not fleece them? I guess. 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: I went to my secret gas station in Van Nuys, 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: lowest price that I can find. Yeah, five ninety five. Oh, 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: you're just under six. Yeah, it's the only one I'm 41 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: going to now. So it's remained consistently lower than others. Yeah, 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: it's it's no brand gasoline, no brand, but it's don't 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know where the gas is 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: coming from, but it's nothing I recognize. So we're going 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: to talk to the Republican, the leader of the Assembly, 46 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: James Gallagher. They held day a news event today to 47 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: point out that what California's need and want is gas 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: tax relief. To the deafness of the legislature. All right, 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: let's get James on here. How are you doing good? 50 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: How are you Johnny Ken? All right? Everybody listening is thinking, 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: we got a one hundred billion dollars surplus and gases 52 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: running anywhere from six to eight dollars a gallon? What 53 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: gives here? Why can't we get the gas tax suspended? 54 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: It is a head stratcher for sure. I mean we've 55 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: been calling for this since January. We introduced a bill 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: on January to suspend the gas tax. Easiest way to 57 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: give everybody relief. Right now, the fifty one cents a 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: gallon off every gallon of gas. Fast tracked it, tried 59 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: to fast track it to the floor and March Democrats 60 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: voted it down. But I think they started feeling the pressure. 61 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: And so what we saw here recently was some Democrats 62 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: joined into a bipartisan measure to suspend the gas tax, 63 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: and they presented their own bill. So to this morning, 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: we proposed that we're going to fast track that one, 65 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, and so we did that motion this morning 66 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: on the floor. The motion did fail. But I will 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: tell you it's a strange things. As that motion failed, 68 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: there's the ability to add on the after the motion's over. 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: There's ability that add on here in the legislature, so 70 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: someone can go up to a computer and add on. 71 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: And slowly we started to see a trickle of Democrats 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: adding on to support this motion. They change their bring 73 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: it to the floor. Not enough, not enough, not enough 74 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: to get it over the top, but to show that yes, 75 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: we too do support that. And we got up to 76 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: about thirty votes, so we're not we're not to a 77 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: majority yet. D Yeah, Okay, isn't that a trick? I mean, 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they know exactly what vote number to go 79 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: to and then they stop, so it doesn't pass, but 80 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: it gives very much. It gives them all campaign commercials, right, 81 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: and so look, we know who voted when it counted. Um, 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: we did see some trickle of votes coming up. And 83 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: I think that just shows that Democrats know that this 84 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: is something that needs to be done, uh, and they 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: need to be held to account for it, and they're 86 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: still trying to summon it into their failure wall. It 87 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: was time to go on the record, though they were 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: afraid to go on the record and vote against the 89 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: party leadership. Well, and that's the thing. The record will 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: be clear as who was actually there and there were 91 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: some Democrats that went up on that initial boat, but 92 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, we know who was really there when the 93 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: boat mattered, and that will be public. And of course, 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, the people, the people can see that it's 95 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: the Democratic majority, it's the governor who have failed to 96 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: provide them any kind of relief in these inflationary gas times. 97 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: I would note I am I too, am one of 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: those guys that looks for the no brand name gas 99 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: station that's at least under you know, in the five somewhere. Uh, 100 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, harder and harder to find me. Ye. Are 101 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: there objections changing? Or is it the same thing. They 102 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: don't trust the gas companies to pass along the end 103 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: of the decrease or what well this particular bill had 104 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: to provision in that wouldn't allow that to happen. That 105 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: had like an enforcement mechanism that wouldn't allow to not 106 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: pass through. And of course that's not really true. Like 107 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: all the analysis so of this suspension is that it 108 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: would completely go to the consumer because they're not they're 109 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: not charging the way they're not charging uh, you know, 110 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: six dollars a gallon in any other state. So what 111 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: the greed? The greedy oil companies only want to gouge 112 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: California customers, but they don't want to gouge everywhere else 113 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: in the country where they're paying for fifty great point. 114 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: And in fact, we actually pay a dollar twenty for 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: gallon more in California than other states, purely because of 116 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: not just our not just our tax, but also all 117 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: the regulations and fees, the cap and trade regulation we 118 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: put in place. When you add all that up, it's 119 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: a dollar twenty more for the California And so you know, 120 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: feel feel happy that you live in California where we 121 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: make your gas even more expensive. Say your your bills 122 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: just knocking off the basic fifty cent gas tax. It 123 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: doesn't even touch the right yeah right, And we have 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: members here that not only voted for that gas tax, 125 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, we obviously opposed that, not only voted to 126 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: institute that gas tax four years ago, but now they 127 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: refuse to suspend it, you know. I mean, we've got 128 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: legislators that have been here that whole whole period of time. Well, 129 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: in fact, we've got to increase coming July first, that 130 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: they won't even stop, right right, I mean they're in 131 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: action on this has also caused there's there's no ability 132 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: to stop the increase that's coming in July. And that's 133 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: on the governor and the Democratic leadership. They won't even 134 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: give us that three cent break, not even a three 135 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: cent break from these bastards. And then they tell us 136 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: we need this for road projects that nobody sees happening. Yeah, 137 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: there are no road projects. Everyone got scammed on that 138 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: gas tax increase a few years ago. There's no road projects. 139 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know how to go ahead. 140 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: My friend Kevin Kyler likes to point out, you know, 141 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: we're paying the highest tax to drive over the worst 142 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: roads in the nation. It's it's a California phenomenon, you know, 143 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: when the governor's as you know that we're we're leading 144 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the nation. We're leading the nation and the wrong things. Yeah, No, 145 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: it's true, it's true. We have we have the worst 146 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: roads are judged by independent organizations, worst roads, highest taxes, 147 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: and people vote for more taxes all the time. I 148 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: don't understand. It's like mass insanity in this state. It 149 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: really is. Nothing makes sense. So I guess you guys 150 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: are not giving up on this, or have you guys 151 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: giving up? And look, I the day is still going 152 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: on here. I am, you know, I'm on the eternal optimist. 153 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: We're going to keep pushing on it. And I think, look, 154 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, the California voter is is is done with 155 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,119 Speaker 1: this stuff, you know, and that's what we're hoping in November, 156 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: that they make a change, you know, you know, stop 157 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: sending the same people back here who aren't helping you 158 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: and in fact they're hurting you. All right, James Gallagher, 159 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: thanks for talking to us who appreciate it, no problem, 160 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: thank you. All right. That's the Republican leader of the Assembly, 161 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: James Gallagher. They got a few Democrats to gether together 162 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: and they put up a bill that would suspend the 163 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: fifty cent or so California gas tax to help you 164 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: out at the pump, and it failed once again in 165 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: sacrament almost immediately. You know what, though, that's such a game. 166 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: The guys who voted originally on the record are probably 167 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: in swing districts where their margin of victory was five 168 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: points or less. Then you have a second tier of 169 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: guys who are maybe five to ten points ahead, and 170 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: in a bad year, they could get knocked out. But 171 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: they only voted after the original vote. They were the 172 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: ad on votes later on, and they were given permission 173 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: to do an ad on vote as long as the 174 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: leadership knew that wasn't going to hit a majority number. 175 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: So they'll always fall a few shorts, few votes short 176 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: of the majority. That's all scripted. It's all rehearsed in advance. 177 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: It's not a spontaneous vote. All right. More coming up, 178 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: John and Ken Cafid. Thinking of that app. You can 179 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: use it to connect to the Moist Line.

Oh yeah, he tells me. He tells me 190 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: cool stuff that later becomes news, but he can't. Oh, 191 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's like news that has not yet hatched. 192 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: So I know some secrets, do you that I that 193 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: I'd be dying to talk about here, but I can't. 194 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Sheriffe and a Wave. It will be on our show 195 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: tomorrow during this hour. Actually, they asked if he could 196 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: come on Thursday at three and we'll talk to him. 197 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: He held a news event to call for stepped up 198 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: enforcement against the homeless on the LA Natural System operations 199 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: safe travel and Steve will fill us in on the 200 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: details of this, and we'll also probably talk to the 201 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: sheriff about it tomorrow. You know what I got in 202 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: the mail. I got in the mail, the old US mail, 203 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: the recall DA George Gascone petition almost had good money 204 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: they can send. They're they're going through the roles of 205 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: registered voters and they're mailing the petitions along with a 206 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: great letter from one of the families of one of 207 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: the victims of violence that George Gascon did not fully prosecute. 208 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: So that's Desiree Andre. Do you remember her? Yes? Oh? Good? Good? 209 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: That makes her stories in there to give people an 210 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: introduction of what we're talking about. You know what that 211 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: that saves so many steps because it's so Yeah, people 212 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: are like, download the petition, sign it, but in the 213 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: envelope going they go somewhere to pick it up. No, 214 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: now I can come to your house. I hope they 215 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: were able to canvass a lot of La County registered 216 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: vote I got homes. You got one, Eric, Yeah, when 217 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: I was in quarantine, I got one and my mom 218 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: my sister signed it. I signed it and I sent 219 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: it in while I was in quarantine.

Were you in one of 222 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: those trailers like they have in China where they throw 223 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: quarantine people in and for three weeks I was in 224 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: my bedroom. I say it was his own quarantine starting 225 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: screaming out the window. I'm dying. All right, let's see you. Oh, 226 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: let's do your avocados story. I like it. Oh yeah, 227 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: the avocados story. Yeah. Or because our news girl loves avocados. 228 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: We think it's her favorite foot I had one today. 229 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: Are you on TikTok? No? A. You seemed like a 230 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: TikTok this term that people use, which I hate, A hack? 231 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: All right, I hope people talk about I'm going to 232 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: give you a life hack when I come back to 233 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: tell you how to do something more easily. Hack this, 234 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: all right, don't do this dever. Okay, she probably doesn't. 235 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: But this TikTok thing was how to keep avocados fresh 236 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: for weeks using water in refrige duration. And they actually 237 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: illustrate how you could store the avocados. It's like a 238 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: tall jar filled with water and then you stick the 239 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: avocados in there. You steal it up, and you put 240 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: it in the refrigerator and they will stay fresh for weeks. 241 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Normal sounds good. Normally it turns out do it normally, 242 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: it turns into brownish black goop. According to The New 243 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: York Post, and it's it's a mother on this TikTok 244 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: and she has four kids, and she claimed it was 245 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: magic when you put the avocado into the water and 246 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: refrigerate it, claims it would last a month. But the 247 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: FDA says that odds are you're going to create Salmonella 248 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: oh or Listeria yep that are living on the avocado 249 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: surface and then they'll start multiplying when you submerge it 250 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: in water. Yeah, because that's right. The main concern is 251 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: the possibility that any residual human pathogens in other words, 252 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: Listeria salmonella that may be residing on the avocado surface 253 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: will multiply during storage when submerged in water. I guess 254 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: they like water and they multiply, So when you take 255 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: the avocado out of there to use, you might be 256 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: ingesting some salmon. Yeah, well I don't do that, so 257 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: I'm okay, then we don't do that. You see that 258 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: this method keeps them looking green, but the inside goes 259 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: to hell. It says the listeria has the potential to 260 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: infiltrate and internalize into the pulp of the avocados. Oh. 261 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: They put these for fifteen days in refrigerated storage. They 262 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: studied sixteen hundred avocados, and seventeen percent of the sample 263 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: ended up with listeria or the salmonella. That's bad right. Further, 264 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: they claim, even if you disinfect the surface of the 265 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: avocado skin prior to slicing, that might not remove the contamination. 266 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: So the refrigerated storage is a no no. You may 267 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: have the listerior of salmon elogist in there and you're 268 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: not going to be able to get rid of it. 269 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: Who I get to keep eating avocados case clothes for me. Yeah, 270 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: it's too bad you hadn't tried this. We could have 271 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: scared you poisoning at yourself. What would I eat? I 272 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: would starve? Yeah, I have avocados every single days, every day. 273 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: Mysterian salmonella really cleans you out. Yeah, I know. It's 274 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: a good weight loss very quickly. Yes, you'd be damn COVID. 275 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: COVID does that too. Yeah. I lost ten pounds on 276 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: COVID really. Yeah. Wow, they had a harsh case. I 277 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: mean I was sweating and got had the chills for 278 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: like three days and you weren't eating. Huh. I was 279 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: forcing myself to eat to make sure I didn't lose 280 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: my taste or smell. Yeah, that's right. I know somebody 281 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: else's doing that. They kept eating something. It's all right. 282 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: I still taste that, all right, I still taste that. 283 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: All right. We just keep trying to make sure you're okay. Well, 284 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: did you eat any avocados? Eric? I mean you know 285 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about avocados. I mean, yeah, I have some 286 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: avocados occasionally, but not every day like you do when 287 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: you're half dead with COVID would probably be very soothing. No, 288 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: it was a lot of chicken noodle soup for me. 289 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: A good Jewish remedy. Does that stuff work? It worked 290 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, more coming up Bolso. By the way, 291 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: they're recalling Jeff peanut butter because of salmonella too. Don't 292 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: know if you saw that.

This is the Sheriff's way of saying, 323 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: I'm done with following the rules of Metro. I am 324 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: now going to do what I was elected to do 325 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: and what statutorially we are obligated to do, and that 326 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: is to protect the citizens. That was sort of his 327 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: mantra the other day at this press conference when he 328 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: basically announced that he's going to not only deploy more 329 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: deputies on the trains, buses, and subways, he's going to 330 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: probably double the number and that will include armed deputies 331 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: in uniform. So the Rules of Metro said, what, Well, 332 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: remember they're reducing the presence of arm not only armed deputies, 333 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: but uniform deputies because the Public Safety Advisory Committee and 334 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: others say it's intimidating the ridership doesn't want that. Well, 335 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: this is what's interesting about v and a way of 336 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: his strategy, and he did this with the local homeless incamp. 337 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: He is not worrying about what the City of La 338 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: says and he's not worrying about what Metro says. He's saying, 339 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: anything that happens in the county is my jurisdiction, and 340 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it my way anyway. And he's 341 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: on solid legal ground with that. It's very similar the 342 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: way he was laying it out, the way they kind 343 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 1: of positioned it. Sixteen different bureaus and units within the 344 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department will be providing support for operations safe travel. 345 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: This means they they're tapping into the reserve deputy unit. 346 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: Homeless outreach is going to be a big part of it. 347 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: So just imagine what they did in Venice. They're taking 348 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: that same model and applying it to the trains and 349 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: the buses. So does that mean they're going to work 350 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: with people to try to get them housing before they 351 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: but will they eventually throw them off the train for behavior? Well, 352 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: here's the thing. So before you remember, the deputies, at 353 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: least the armed deputies, were not allowed to do any 354 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: sort of you know, site fair, you know, any fair 355 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: violations or any sort of like minor crimes or in 356 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: minor infractions. Now, the sheriff says, the problem with that 357 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: is is if they were able to intervene early on 358 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: in an infraction. They're going to stop the bigger stuff 359 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: from happening. So if they've got somebody who's not paying 360 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: the fair, odds are there might be a little bit 361 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: of a troublemaker. You know. That's kind of what they're 362 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: looking at, right, which is logical and true. So you 363 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: start with it's like the shooting yesterday, you start with 364 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: the little signs. The little signs lead to bigger signs, right, right, 365 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: It's the broken windows theory, and that's proven to be 366 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: correct over and over again. That's how human nature works. Yeah, 367 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: here's a little bit of the sheriff. Well, I know 368 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: some people are going to support public safety and and 369 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if we get the same chunk that 370 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: we have now we get the entire system. What matters 371 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: is at law enforce it has to resume control over 372 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: safety on the system. Not being a second choice after 373 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: private security does their business because they're not is not working. 374 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: And I asked him, that's the question that I asked 375 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: him about if he's worried about overlapping breaching the contract. 376 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: He says no, he said, in fact, the way the 377 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: contract is structured with Metro right now it kind of 378 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: violates the law already because it's it's hindering him as 379 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: the official law enforcement person for the county. It hinders 380 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: him and his agency from actually enforcing the law. So 381 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: you've got the thefts of the robberies, the rapes, and 382 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: the attempted murders and whatnot on there. He's not able 383 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: to intervene in time. You see, is this is what's 384 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: always like been bugging me. And those trains are running 385 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: in the county, there's crimes being committed on the trains. 386 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Has the contract been keeping him and his deputies from 387 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: doing their basic job. Yes, and he can just say 388 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: the hell with the contract, We're going to do our 389 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: job anyway. Yes, And that's exactly what he's doing. It 390 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: starts June first, operations Safe Travel. I was told by 391 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: Aptin Sean Kehoe, who is the head of Transits Transit 392 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: Bureau Transit Services Bureau, that they will almost double the 393 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: amount of deputies that they're dedicating now to on board 394 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: security and on platform security. So they're basically ignoring Metro's 395 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: mandates and they're going to go on there and they 396 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: are going to be deputies if they see a rule 397 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: or a violation or anything. They're going to step in. 398 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: The Metro board, which is made up of La City 399 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: Councilman Garceta, La County Board of Supervisors, and a few others. 400 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: Have they had a reaction to this. No. And I 401 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: called yesterday or I don't know, it was last night. 402 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: I called someone at sheriffs Department. They said, have you 403 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: heard anything yet? They said, crickets, crickets, And they haven't. 404 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: They haven't responded to anything. The Sheriff's been doing the 405 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: only thing that the only response they did was the 406 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: video that we released here at KFI, and they had 407 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: that blanketed statement, but that statement was actually written in January. 408 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: It was that's what's kind of funny about it. And 409 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: they because because they can't stand him, I mean, the 410 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: board of Supervisors hates it. They were looking at ways 411 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: to have him removed or impeached or something, and they 412 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: couldn't find any legal way. And now they're just going silent. Well, 413 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: remember the Sheriff's department has to approach this. They are 414 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: a subcontractor. They are being paid by Metro to provide security, 415 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: so they are they are a contractor to MTA and 416 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: it's a weird relationship because they're they're expected to go 417 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: in there and follow sort of the guidance of Metro 418 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: because they have writers they want to take care of. 419 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: They don't want to do anything to upset the apple cart, 420 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: as it were. Well, when you get in there and 421 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: you start looking around and saying, well, listen, I'm not 422 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: able to actually fulfill my duties as a sworn peace 423 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: officer because you're telling me I can't step in now, 424 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we're going to have to do that. That's 425 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: kind of where the sheriff's at. Now. If that contract 426 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: runs out, can they still go in any way? No, Well, 427 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: that's a great question. So if a crime is committed 428 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: on there, it would be like any crime committed anywhere 429 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: else in the county. They'd have someone would have to 430 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: call nine one. And then if a deputy witnessed a 431 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: crime happening on a platform or on a train, sure 432 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: they could step in as a peace officer, but they 433 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: would have to be dispatched to that area. If they weren't. 434 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: They can't. They can't do the preventative stuff. No, no, no no, 435 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: once the contract expires, because that you know, But if 436 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: they continue to have a transit services Bureau where they 437 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: still focus on mass transit. That could be something that 438 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: they could creatively do. I suppose what is the contractor 439 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: now July first, and see here's the interesting So what 440 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: is this like a thirty day Hey, I'm going to 441 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: show you how it's done. Yeah, yeah, I think I 442 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: think a public on his side. Yeah, well yeah, I 443 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: think it's kind of a strategy. If you think about 444 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: we're going to double the presence of armed deputies on 445 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: the trains. We're going to reevaluate Part one crimes, which 446 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: are your most violent crimes. We're going to reevaluate those, 447 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: and at the end of thirty days, we're going to 448 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: see how this how my experiment worked. And I noticed 449 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: he's also tries to corner all these woke politicians by saying, hey, 450 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: most of the victims are people of color, and this 451 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: is the primary way they get around town. Right, So 452 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: it's interesting. Remember he brought up the instance the story 453 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: we were broke on the show about the man that 454 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: was set on fire by the homeless woman, and I 455 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: told you there is video and at the time, the 456 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: sheriff had been told he was going to have to 457 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: sign a non disclosure agreement in order to view the video, 458 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: and so were his investigators. This is something I was 459 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: told by sources in the department. If you want to 460 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: see the video for investigative purposes, you will have to 461 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: sign an NDA because we don't want it out there. 462 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: If you release it, it could include up to and 463 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: involve including criminal prosecution. And that's a direct result of 464 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: us releasing the video here. That is now they are 465 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: now trying to prevent any further video from being released publicly. 466 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: So what did the sheriff do you think to yourself? Okay, well, 467 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm and the sheriff said, as soon as he was 468 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: told this is the way it was characterized to me, 469 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: he looked over someone and said, give me so and 470 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: so write up a search warrant. And they served a 471 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: search warrant at MTA and said give me the video 472 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: and they did. So he has it. He has, he's 473 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: already seen it. That's another thing that didn't make sense. 474 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: How can you threaten the sheriff with criminal charges for um, 475 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: for breaching a contract, for breaching a contract that contains 476 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: evidence of a felony? Is this is this is their 477 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: thinking and this is what the sources told me, that 478 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: that they were forced with signing some sort of an 479 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: NDA to prevent the video from leaking publicly. And then 480 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: when I have gotten my response back when I told 481 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: you when I tried to see the video or get 482 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: requests for the video, and they said it's not in 483 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: the public's best interest to see it. So we've denied 484 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: your request. So now if it's been grabbed by as 485 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: a result of evidence or by a by a warrant, 486 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: presumably it will now be public record because it will 487 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: be presented in court.

They had estimated from 494 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: last August fifty seven hundred homeless people riding on the metros. 495 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: Just so outrageous as the buses and the trains. But 496 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: that is amazing. All right, we got more coming out, 497 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: Johnny kN kfi all right, coming up after four o'clock 498 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: we will be talking to Fox elevens Alex Michaelson Tonight 499 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: at six o'clock is their documentary special Lost Angeles City 500 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: of Homeless. We could also play the official trailer trailer. 501 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm in the official trailer, so I know at least 502 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: one of my little quotes is in there. Let's see, 503 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: because it's radio, if we can pick you out, people 504 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: look at you different things, like it's just impossible to 505 00:27:52,720 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: get out of the situation that's down and flame. How 506 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: hard is it to open up a mental health center? 507 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: How hard is it to open up a drug treat considered? 508 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I see five thousand Starbucks opened up, right, 509 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: just build the building. Nobody to live on the streets 510 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. We have twenty five percent of the 511 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: entire nation's homeless in our county. These are psychiatric patients. 512 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: The psychiatric needs the four walls, right, I'm all four it. 513 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: They need it for sure getting off the streets. But 514 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: if they get there and don't get proper care, they're 515 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: going to die anyway. The person is not born homeless. 516 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: A person eventually gets there and we're still not spinning 517 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: enough time figuring out how to help that person. If 518 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,719 Speaker 1: you've got billions of dollars between the city and the 519 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: county and the state. We should be getting vastly better results. 520 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: We're seeing it get worse and people are getting fed up. 521 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: The overwhelming population of the homeless, all the invisible homeless, 522 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: the thing and derives of people's to you. Guys only 523 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,479 Speaker 1: knew what we both do, especially as women. Its dangers 524 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,239 Speaker 1: out right downtown LA because you just don't see how 525 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: much of a give ridded until you're out here. I've 526 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: lived it, I've briethed it. Paris story. That's me singing too. 527 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah we heard that, Yeah we knew it. Good job, 528 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: thank you. But you know, a Starbucks makes money, So 529 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: you put up a Starbucks to make money selling costs. 530 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: That's not the right comparison to putting up a mental is. 531 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: We give them billions of dollars. We gave them the money. 532 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: They think there's no money to be made off of that. 533 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: Sure we'll give them more tax money. It's gonna take 534 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: more money to treat the people for the mental illness. 535 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: So they have money making operation like a Starbucks. Sure 536 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: it is. What's all the tax money, it's giving them 537 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: all salaries. They're all making good money. The whole homeless 538 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: industrial complex. They're living fat. But that's an honest stand 539 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: what you're saying. But I'm talking about capitalism at a 540 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: coffeehouse versus plenty is. But you can physically build these 541 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: things quickly, then you have to staff it too. There's 542 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: not as many mental health professionals as there used to be. 543 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: It's tough to get them into government work too. Well, 544 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: you can make a lot more money as a private therapy. 545 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: Maybe what we should do is close down all the 546 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: gender studies programs and shift them into mental health work. 547 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: If there weren't jobs for all these weird human resources 548 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: jobs that didn't exist ten years ago, maybe these people 549 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: would have to do something useful like mental healthcare. You 550 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: got you gotta restructure, you know, the big picture here 551 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: the fix we're in, and it's kind of evolved. I mean, well, 552 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: first that part I heard in the documentary. It is 553 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: about mental illness, and we've got to push back against 554 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: the people think it's just about housing. I mean, I 555 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: said this ten or fifteen years ago. Anybody that makes 556 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: the decision to throw down a sleeping bag or a 557 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: tent on a sidewalk because quote they've been kicked out 558 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: of their home they have mental health problems. It's right there, 559 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: it's already there. People with rational minds don't do that. 560 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: I think Michael Schellenberger said this. They figure it out. 561 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: They live with relatives. Although one guy in that thing 562 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: says all big in visible homeless. They're living on people's couches. 563 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: What that's something they're they're working on getting themselves back. 564 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: They're not squatting in the parker on the street. That's 565 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: what's important to remember there. What is the motivation for 566 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: this crowd not to believe that? They claim they don't 567 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: believe it's a mental problem, but clearly it is. It's 568 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: right in front of her eyes. Right. I was going 569 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: to check on the next step. Now that they say 570 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,239 Speaker 1: it's a housing problem, we've gone beyond Oh it's just 571 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: giving them shelter. Nope, that's no good anymore. Well, they 572 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: need totally supportive, expensive housing in whatever neighborhood they've squatted into, 573 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: Mike Venice, which is expensive. But do you see and 574 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: we can't do that? Do you see how they keep 575 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: changing the criteria though you're right, the goalpost move, as 576 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: they say, But why do they move? What's the incentive 577 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: for them to move? Because they're moving it because the 578 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: homeless aren't coming in and they're trying to figure out 579 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: what does it take? Or is it, Oh, now we 580 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: have to give them a seven hundred thousand dollars apartment. 581 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: There's a nice neighborhood with mental health services down the hall. 582 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 1: Or is it we don't want to solve the problem 583 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: because we're making good money on this. Yeah, I know 584 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: that's the homeless industrial complaint. If you gave them mental 585 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: health and drug treatment, I mean, if you force them 586 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: into it and they got it, most of these people 587 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: would probably not be homeless anymore. Right, if they woke 588 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: up after let's say six months of treatment, whatever it takes, 589 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: they take their medication, they get off the drugs, their 590 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: minds are clear. It's like, hey, we got a job 591 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: for you. There's plenty of jobs available. Now, it would 592 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: go away, right. I Mean, everybody says this rehabilitation works, 593 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: so I'll take their word for it that drug and 594 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: mental health treatments work. Maybe they don't, but let's go on. Well, 595 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: if it does, then let's just do it. And then 596 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: homes are rejecting it. Oh you for them? They don't 597 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: want to be they want it, They don't want your 598 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: rules regulations. They're not getting a house. They're not going 599 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: to get the house ever. They're not getting it now, 600 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: they never will. Oh and they'll ruin it anyway. Yeah right, 601 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: they'll just poop on it and throw the poop all 602 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: over the place, all right.
