1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Welcome there. It is welcome, Welcome everybody. The committee is 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: working hard on the voter guide already, Johnny, want to 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: come to the meetings now, I trust you all. Yeah, 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: it's usual. The ballots are going out. I think next week, 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: sometime in October, they're gonna start nailing ballots to everyone's 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: home because the election is November eighth. It's not that 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: far away when you think about it, almost into October. No, 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: I think. I think the majority of the votes happened 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: before election day, so I think people are still living 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: in the past and they talk about election day. No 11 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: election day is going to start really soon, right, and 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: then it's election month because the votes keep coming in 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: for weeks. You know, the mail is slow. Yeah, they 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: took the times declared after the June primary. It's not 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: gonna be election month. We have to keep waiting and 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: waiting for all these harvested ballots to come in. Yeah, 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: that's right, for all the fraud to be processed. That's right. 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: Somebody remembers a week later, Oh, I forgot to harvest 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: that ladies been old lady down the street, and we'll 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: go get it. You can go back, well, you can 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: go back and re harvest. Yeah, yeah, I wonder when 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: things take that long, if they really do check the 23 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, the postmarks to make sure it was put 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: in the mail by the night of the election. Government 25 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: workers in California election offices, right, all honest, all trustworthy. 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: Anybody would be disinfranted. How what do you mean they 27 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: missed it by a week? Mailing it ends s so 28 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: what count? It can't disenfranchise them. It's important. Didn't we 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: ban that word? Yeah? I use it sometimes just to 30 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: kind of just do it cruise in a Yeah, I 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: want to reclaim it. County election offices will begin mailing 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: ballots no later than October tenth. Yeah, right, so the 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: weeks away. Yeah. No, So so that's why we're working 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: on the voter guide and actually we're done with them. 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: With the ballot propositions, it wasn't hard. There's only seven. 36 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: It seemed like a small year compared to other years. 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Some years it's in the double digits. Yes, there's only 38 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: seven statewide ballot measures. I know some years it's crazy. 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: But then what they did was they pushed a lot 40 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: of them to presidential election years. You see, that's another 41 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: trick they pulled in Sacramento because they know a lot 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: of their know now things will vote well. Also, greater 43 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: harvesting potential and greater harvesting. You know, some years yield 44 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: more crops than others. Yes, so I forget the rules 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: they made, but they're made. A lot of ballot measures 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: can only be put like in the presidential election year. 47 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: Or that's what our signature gatherers raiment for. Because they 48 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: want to pass taxes and things like that? Are we 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: voting no on everything? Almost almost almost looks like almost yes? 50 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: See we have one yes in there. We might all right, 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: why would I give? They're not done, dude, The committee 52 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: is still debating. I mean, you don't want to come. 53 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: You don't have to come, but you know, did you 54 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: want his voice just to beat the table? I like 55 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: voting no on things? We're working on the three legged stool. Um. 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: Speaking of elections, we're gonna take you back in time 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: on the John and Hen Show. Many of you may 58 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: not be aware of where the John and Ken Show 59 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: has its Let's put it this way, our political roots. 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: We started out on a music station in Atlantic City, 61 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: New Jersey. But we moved to a place called Trenton, 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: New Jersey not long after that. And the station. While 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: it played music, we did a lot of talking about 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: the local politicians and one of the people we spent 65 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: a lot of time on the first As soon as 66 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: we got there, it seemed like right in nineteen ninety. 67 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: Six weeks later it was like sixty. This person was 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: elected in nineteen eighty nine and really just began serving 69 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: it in the January of nineteen ninety and we got 70 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: to the station in March of nineteen ninety and it 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: was the big story, and we spent a lot of 72 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: time on it. The reason we're talking about it is twofold. 73 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: This political leader has died. It is former New Jersey 74 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: Governor James Florio. And secondly, heads on a stick. Tax 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: revolt has its origins in that state in the year 76 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety on the Johnny Show. That's why we're going 77 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: to spend a few minutes on it because it is 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: kind of the significant origins. Yeah, tax revolts with us. 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: You may have never heard of us if Jim Florio 80 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: didn't decide to raise three billion dollars worth of taxes 81 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. Sounds so small now, 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: doesn't it. It does sound small, But back then it's 83 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: a smaller state too. Back then it was the largest 84 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: tax increase in the history of the United States. Yes, 85 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: it was huge, and Florio had run on no new taxes. 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: He had said it, it was recorded, and then he 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: gets into office and within a few months the largest 88 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: tax increase ever for a state. And he made a 89 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: crucial mistake. He raised sales taxes specifically on toilet paper. 90 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: That really got people worked up, and some of them 91 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: were sending in soiled pieces of toilet paper. Soiled, yeah, 92 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: but it was an assembly speaker. It was that fat 93 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: guy's name, Joe Doria. Joe Dori, yeah right, and he 94 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: was complaining to the press that he was getting soiled 95 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: toilet paper mail. Damn well, he was one of these 96 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: guys that produced his own roles of soiled toilet paper. Yeah, 97 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: no kidding, he was one of those guys. But in 98 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one they overturned the legislative leaders. The Republicans 99 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: took over the state legislature, and then in nineteen ninety 100 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: three Florio was beaten, right, and then eventually the taxes 101 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: no recall mechanism in New Jersey, so people had to 102 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: wait and the taxes eventually got repealed. The taxes got repealed. 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: Our listeners back then started a massive revolt and we 104 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: had a big rally in Trenton. We had ten thousand 105 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 1: people showed up. People were waving rolls of toilet paper 106 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: in the air. I was on the back of a 107 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: flatbed truck with a mask phone shouting at the masses, Yeah, 108 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: you made the like the local the New York City 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: TV news. I remember that I was the lead video 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: of the lead story on the NBC affiliate in New 111 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: York's Yeah for the six o'clock news that night. And 112 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: then I made a speech some time after that, and 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: I made it into the New York Times with the 114 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: word chicanerie I did. I used it in my speech. 115 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: I said chicanerie and times like that word. Florio taught 116 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: me at least everything I needed to know about politicians. 117 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: That they're liars, that they're incredibly stubborn, they'll never admit 118 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: they're doing damage or that they're wrong, and they'll always 119 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: have the media at their back when they're doing uh 120 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: left yea. All the media was on his side. They 121 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: called him courageous, a brave movie, and they had every 122 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: epithet in the book towards us. But we won, The 123 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: people won, and he lost the deplorables, and his political 124 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: career was over. He lost the next race for governor. 125 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: He then tried to run for Senate a few years later, 126 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: and he still had a bad stink on his name, 127 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: and uh, he was he was a failure, a colossal 128 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: failure in life because he lied to people and still 129 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: their money and all these all these obituaries today they're 130 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: still calling him courageous, still talking about how he stood 131 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: up for his beliefs. It's like, you know, yeah, thieves 132 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: always stand up for their beliefs. They think your money 133 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: is their money, so they're they're courageous. They put a 134 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: gun to your head and they steal it. We were 135 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: on the air one day discussing this revolt and a 136 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: couple of people called in asked what they could do, 137 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: and I said, why don't you give out your phone 138 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: number begin to organize, and they eventually formed, and the 139 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: Ape mentioned it today, hands across New Jersey. Yeah. Now, 140 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: if you don't recall back in the back at this time, 141 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: I think there was a day I forget what year 142 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: it was where people were supposed told hands across America. 143 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Remember that was it for the farmers. I don't remember 144 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: what it was for, but that's kind of the origins 145 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: of the expression hands across. Yeah, and they used it 146 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: for their for their anti tax movement, and it was 147 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: very successful because they got the taxes rolled back. They 148 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: had to wait until the next election cycle. But the 149 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: Democrats in the state, they lost the governorship, They eventually 150 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: lost the States Senate, they lost the Assembly, they lost 151 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: it for ten years too, and eventually Christine Todd Whitman 152 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: became the governor. And it was it was. It was 153 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: quite a revolution, quite an insurrection. It was yeah, and 154 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: it works. And uh, you know if maybe one day 155 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: people are gonna wake up in California and realize you 156 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: don't because that's the thing. People took action and it 157 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: changed their lives. They started getting money back in their paychecks, 158 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: prices dropped because they got they got rid of those 159 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: income and sales taxes. Years later, I mean, I mean, 160 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: you can change things. You have the power. And this 161 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: was one of the few times ever ever seen in 162 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: my life where the people seized the power and gave 163 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: the big few to the ruling, the ruling barons. And 164 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: he was a perfect foil. He was so arrogant he 165 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: was so obnosed he was. People made him, as it 166 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,359 Speaker 1: was popular at the time, to look like Jack Nicholson's 167 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: Betrayal of the Joker. They kind of took him and 168 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: put the makeup on his face and it looked perfect. 169 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: I mean, they had all sorts of names for him. 170 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: He did. He was nasty. Yeah, he never came on 171 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: the show. We never talked to him now, but he 172 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: had He had some Gavin newsoment um, you know, he did. 173 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: He was not as smart as he thought he was. Yes, 174 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: and he was nasty than Newsom. I wouldn't say nwsms 175 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: a friendly guy, but Florio was just arrogant. Yeah. I 176 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: Knewsom's arrogant, but Florio had a certain flare to it 177 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: that made it particularly nasty and negative. This was he 178 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: was like the new Jersey guy. You don't like it, 179 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: hump you. This wasn't a very comforting eulogy, was it. Well? No, 180 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: but I read it and I said, it's just frustrating 181 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: we can't get something like that going in this state. 182 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: And you talk all the time about how people have 183 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: to vote these people out and they're just not doing it, 184 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: not in great enough numbers. Yeah. Well, I spent. I 185 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: spent the weekend in San Francisco. And that's you went 186 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: to the Metta's games. That's run. That's yes, I did. 187 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: I did, And boy later I got a story about 188 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: coming off a highway ramp into San Francisco into the mission. 189 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: That's something we all haven't seen. Who been up there? 190 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure? Oh, I've never seen this. I mean, I mean, 191 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: not anything specific, just the intensity of it. I saw 192 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of We see a lot 193 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: of crap in Los Angeles, but there was something about this. Jesus. 194 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: All right, we'll try not to hide your laughter. But 195 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: coming up next, Gavin Newsom went to Texas, a place 196 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: he's not supposed to go because it's on the list 197 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: of being banned for state travel. And didn't you also 198 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: go to Montana a few months ago? Yes? Well, oh well, 199 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: and he is definitely positively not running for president. He 200 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: wants you to know this. We have the audio, not now, 201 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: not in twenty twenty four, not in twenty twenty eighth. 202 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: Even we are going to save this audio. It's weird 203 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: because like the audio of Jim Florio saying he's not 204 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: going to be raising taxes and gonna hang this around 205 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: Newsom's deck. All right, we'll play that coming up next 206 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: John and Ken show KFI. Well, you know it's breaking 207 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: news despite the fact that he's spending millions of dollars 208 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: of his campaign money not on running for reelection as 209 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: governor of California, but governor dippity Dooo has been traveling 210 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: to other states, been running ads in other states, been 211 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: active on Twitter and other social media platforms to criticize 212 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: anything you can think of concerning the likes of Florida 213 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: Governor On De Santis or Texas Governor Greg Abbott, or 214 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: Trump or anyone else. So he goes to Texas. He 215 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: sits down with something called the Texas Tribune. They had 216 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: a festival that has been exciting, a newspaper festival, and 217 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: he announced he's not running for president, not in twenty 218 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: four and not in twenty eight. Anybody's skeptical. And he's 219 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: been gumbled by the recall, complete disbelief. He was humbled 220 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: by recalling he's a liar, he's a posturer. He found 221 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: it sobering. One of his great words. He's a fake Phonian, 222 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,359 Speaker 1: a fraud. Well, here is the audio. Are you considering 223 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: running for president in twenty eight, not at all, and 224 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: I thank you. I'm glad you're applauding. No, uh u, no, no, 225 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: and no I've said it in French, Italian, I don't 226 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: know German. I mean, I cannot say it enough, but 227 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: thank you. It's humbling, it is sweet. It's a nice 228 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: thing to be asked. I mean, and I never trust politicians, 229 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: so I get why you keep asking. I don't think 230 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: we're going to say this. You always roll your eyes, 231 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: and invariably they end up doing the opposite. So I 232 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: get it. I get the cynicism. Do you think you're 233 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: getting more done and you ultimately would get done more 234 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: more done? As a governor of California, I'm pri Hey, 235 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: you know California know what a gift maybe I mean 236 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: forty million American straw and yeah, I mean we talk 237 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: about laboratories and democracy and we're able to scale ideas 238 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: that have impact all across this country, around the world. 239 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of that privilege. And and I don't 240 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: take it for granted. One day, As I said, I 241 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: was almost recalled last year. You know, they went after 242 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: me hard. That's sobering. That wakes you up. How vulnerable, 243 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: how fast this is and how people come and go, 244 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: and you know, people cut you off and and and 245 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: so you know that's that's it is not just my focus, 246 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: because I hear when people say that, that's my passion 247 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: and that's where my action last. So when I see 248 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: you in Iowa in twenty twenty three, I will play 249 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: this for you. Answer South Carolina, I'm aware? What else? Yeah, 250 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: he's aware of the list? Yeah, isn't he real? Those 251 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: states off real fast? There can we count how many knows? 252 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: He said at the beginning, should you play at the 253 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: beginning to finish asking the full question, He's like, he's 254 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: really jumping all over this. Are you considering running for president? 255 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: At all? And I thank you. I'm glad you're not 256 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: at all? Um, no, no, and no more. I don't 257 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: know German. So think about this to that part in 258 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: his statement where he doesn't trust politicians. Wow, he was 259 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: describing every phony piece of crap that he's about trying 260 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: to say, Oh, yeah, I know, they always lie, they 261 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: don't tell you the truth. What are you doing right 262 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: now with your comment that you're not running? Of course 263 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: he's positioning himself. This is absurd. Who runs ads in Florida? 264 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: Who takes on a Texas and Florida governor if they're 265 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: not running nationally, there's no reason or is he bored? Well, 266 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: he does. He has a campaign war chest he doesn't need. 267 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: He's going to coast a reelection this year, so he's 268 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: kind of bored and look him to spend the money 269 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: on something he has. And if you asked him about that, 270 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: he would saying it's because I principally believe we need 271 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: to oppose these policies and I will do what I 272 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: can on the national stage. But no, no, no, no, 273 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: not at all. No, no, no, no, no, no no. 274 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: He put forty thousand businesses at a business close the 275 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: schools for a year and a half, and now you 276 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: have millions of students with permanence educational damage, brain damage. Really, 277 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: their brains will never catch up to where they should 278 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: be in terms of retaining information of learning. They're permanently 279 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: damaged by Gavin Newsom's policies, highest taxes, We're out of energy, 280 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: out of water. I made. It is such a colossal failure. Crime, 281 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: incredibly high homelessness, more than half the homeless and the 282 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: whole country. You're in California, So just go through that again, 283 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: crimes a disaster, homelessness a disaster. Price of gas is 284 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: a disaster. It's six twenty nine in my neighborhood. The 285 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: shortage event, shortage of water. That's five things right there. 286 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: School's a disaster, business climate a disaster. Forty thousand business 287 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: is closed. That is seven major categories. Disaster, not just 288 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: struggling disaster. Bottom of the bottom of the listing nationally. 289 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: And he's running for re election and he's ahead by 290 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: twenty seven points in the polls over somebody no one's 291 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: ever heard of. He also denied running in twenty twenty 292 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: eight unless that slipped past him because he has both. 293 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's even if Biden runs and wins, that's 294 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: wide open. Not running then either. So his political life 295 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: is done. We're supposed to believe that in this cocky, 296 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: arrogant buffoon. I wouldn't see you're right, he was very uh. 297 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't use the word flippant. But his style there 298 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: was a little strange. He's not when when he has 299 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: to casually and he's not using his techno jargon, his 300 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: mind wanders all over the place, and it's these short 301 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: little bursts of words. It's not a coherent thought, and 302 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: it's completely good. That's why I know that techno jargon 303 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: is an affectation. It's what he uses to cover the 304 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: fact that he's not really bright. He can't think quickly 305 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: on his feet, and it's hard for him to focus. 306 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's got dyslexia. Maybe he's also got some 307 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: other challenges in his brain. Laboratories of democracy, what does 308 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: that mean he falls on these weird cliches. We're able 309 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: to scale ideas that have impact all across the country 310 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: and around the world. Go back, not really, nobody's following 311 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: you guys on climate change. Yeah, go back to the 312 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: seven categories you have failed badly in. Take a look 313 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: next time you drive past a gas station, and then 314 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: take a look at a gas station in another state. 315 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: You'll understand why they're not following us. Nobody's pending what's 316 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: going to be soon. Sick Staugh was a gallon on 317 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: gasoline in the US. Nobody's following us. They're not They're 318 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: not levying all these extra taxes on gasoline. He owes 319 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: his entire life to his hair and his jaw line. 320 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: If he was a short, fat bald guy, there'd be 321 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: no governor Gavin Newsom. It's his hair and it's as 322 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: jaw line. Women love him because he's handsome, he's pretty. 323 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: What was that? I see? I see comments about him 324 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: all the time online. Governor mcdreambote Governor McDreamy. He said 325 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: about the recall, how vulnerable, how fast, this is how 326 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: people come and go, and you know, people cut you off. 327 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: I wonder what the detail of that story was. Yeah, well, 328 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: you know the dopey Democratic political insider has cut him 329 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: off over the French laundry and the recall. Well, you 330 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: know his father and mother in law moved to Florida 331 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: and donated money to Ronda de Santas. Yeah, so I 332 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: think they voted for Santis. Yeah, well, because they know 333 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: he's a dud. They've had to live with him for 334 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: years now. Right, he comes over for the holidays, he 335 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: comes over with the grandkids, and imagine his dad has 336 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: to sit and listen to this prattle, this nonsense. Finally, 337 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: he and the wife said, we're getting hell out of here. 338 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: Someone wants to destroying the state. All right, Johnny KEKF 339 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: I am six forty five everywhere in the iHeart Radio app. 340 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: We'll wait on Friday. But if a bombshelf story kind 341 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: of dropped. It suddenly turns out that the Los Angeles 342 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: City Council is questioning the homeless count. Now, the homeless 343 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: count just came out. It showed a slight increase in 344 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: the number of homeless in the City of LA and 345 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: the County of LA. What they were celebrating was the 346 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: fact that it apparently had calmed down from a bigger 347 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: number that they expected. But and of course, this is 348 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: carried out by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority LOSSA, 349 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: which by the way, may be stripped of its involvement 350 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: in spending the homeless money. But that's a different story 351 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: we'll get to eventually. Yeah, well, this count is a fraud. 352 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: It's a bust. It can't possibly be right. It took 353 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: a little while for the details to come out. Yeah, 354 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: it says here. What really kicked this off was people 355 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: in Venice couldn't believe it. LASA said that there were 356 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: no unsheltered people, no tense, no inhabited cars or RVs, 357 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: and no people living outdoors in what is described as 358 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: the Northwest quarter of Venice, which is notorious as ground 359 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: zero for homelessness. So someone noticed that and said, wait 360 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: a minute, Yeah, that's what they're doing to count people. 361 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: And I know for a fact that's way off. What 362 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: else is wrong? I am frequently in the northwest quarter 363 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: of Venice. Yes, that is a complete lie. In fact, 364 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: even in the El Segundo times there's this line. It 365 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: wasn't just the number so wildly wrong. It couldn't be 366 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: a statistical error that shocked them. How they wondered, had 367 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: lots of blown. The most closely watched census tract in 368 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: the county, one that is scoured regularly by residents conducting 369 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: their own tallies, one that was more recently tallied by 370 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: a team of professional surveyors working for the Rand Corporation. 371 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: This is really the center of the homeless disaster on 372 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: the west side, is the northwest quarter of Venice. So 373 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: the idea that there was absolutely nobody they could find anywhere, 374 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: not a single guy in a tent and a sleeping 375 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: bag in an alley, in a car and an RV 376 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: we could disprove that in five minutes. LASSA did not 377 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: respond to questions about the Venice number, but they put 378 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: out a statement. A Mod Chapman, who's their communications director, said, 379 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: during the count we received several reports of user and 380 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: technological errors resulting from a lack of training in poor 381 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: internet connectivity. Despite these errors, we're confident in the accuracy 382 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: of this year is homeless count because LASSA and its 383 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: partners took several steps to account for what was happening 384 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: in the field. Wait wait, wait if you translate that gobbledegook, 385 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: what so they found there was a zero in that 386 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: part of Venice, and then he's claiming that people in 387 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: the field realized that could not be true and took 388 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: steps to account for it. But that was in the 389 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: final report. That was in the final report, so they 390 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: did not account for it. That's a lie. They're lying 391 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: about the lie. Well, he didn't specifically talk about the 392 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Venice miscount. This is Bonnen's district, right, Well, yeah, that's 393 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: the other part of the story. Bonnen was doing a 394 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: victory dance claiming that homelessness was way down in his 395 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: council district, and Venice is in his district. In fact, 396 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: they're questioning a lot about the count in Bonnin's district. 397 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm very suspicious here. I think he wanted a big 398 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: celebratory moment on his way a house, and he wanted 399 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: to give a boost to his potential replacement, Aaron Darling, 400 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: who's running against Tracy Parks, who's a normal person. And 401 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: I think what he wanted to say is Aaron Darling 402 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: is going to continue the successful policies that I started. Here. 403 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Look at this huge decrease in Venice. It's and they 404 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: must have got their people to volunteer to do the 405 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: count because this volunteer counting system here. The last count 406 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: was twenty twenty. Though the average across the city was 407 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: a modest one point seven percent increase, some council districts 408 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: had large swings. The most extreme and eighty percent increase 409 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: in a west San Fernando Valley district. And here it 410 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: is a forty percent decrease in the West Side district 411 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: that includes Venice. That's Bonnen's district. Yeah, no, it's it's 412 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: it's a lie. And I bet you it was him 413 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: who engineered this. He went on Twitter at the time 414 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: and claimed the largest and most successful place based almost 415 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: this intervention program in Los Angeles. It's complete fiction. They 416 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: cleared the boardwalk because Sheriff fia Auava came and cleared it, 417 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: not Bonden. Bonden effect was actively resisting, explaining why he 418 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: couldn't do it or shouldn't do it. It's not that 419 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: he just didn't do it. He thought it was wrong 420 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: to do it. And then Van Aueva comes in and 421 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: clears it out and Bonden takes credit. And then somehow 422 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: they rigged the count so that there's nobody anywhere in 423 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: that section of Venice, which is impossible. I don't know, 424 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: it's impossible, because I said, we drive there all the time, 425 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: we go through there. The RAND guy who was in 426 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: the story, Jason Ward, associate director of the Rand Center 427 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: for a Housing and Homelessness in Los Angeles, talked about 428 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: how they were doing their own surveys and he said 429 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: he was surprised that LASA had not flagged the Venice 430 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: count as a problem because it showed the number of 431 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: unsheltered people to dropped from five hundred and nine to zero. 432 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: You think that would stunt out when somebody reviewed the date, 433 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: they got everybody, everybody's been out. Every Bonden's a hero. Okay, 434 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: well no, they did this on purpose. They did this 435 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: on purpose to promote Aaron Darling, who was a Bonden fraud. 436 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: They're the same, they're the same. Guy. Yeah, he could 437 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: be his his son. Maybe we should get he was 438 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: mentioned in the story as Chris Lacross, who's been on 439 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: our show many times. Yeah, we should get him on. 440 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: Maybe it was involved, he said, he he's he's a blogger. 441 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: He's he published an account of software glitches he experienced 442 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: as a volunteer, counting the Venice tract. Look at that 443 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: he went out there, accounted the homeless for loss of well, 444 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: there there are other counts on the other end that 445 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: are not making sense to local officials. H Kevin de 446 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: Leon has a chief of staff named Jennifer Barazza, and 447 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: they found an increase of two hundred and twenty five 448 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: RVs and boil heights and she doesn't believe that that 449 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: there's that much of an increase. Councilman Bob bloomin Field 450 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: in West San Fernando Valley said he was mystified by 451 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: the sixty person increase, sixty percent increase in unsheltered homeless people. 452 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: And he says, my staff is on the streets every 453 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: day the increase of people. Her the loss account does 454 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: not reflect the reality that we see. So blooming Field 455 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: and Di Leon staff is saying, wait, at a second, 456 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: these numbers are way too high. In bonnen Land they're zero. 457 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: So looks like this whole count as a complete botch. Yeah, 458 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: Lacrosse said. He posted a screenshot from his phone showing 459 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: and this is in Venice now he recorded eighty five 460 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: homeless people, forty three in cars, twenty nine vans, twenty 461 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: seven camp or RV, sixty seven tenths or makeshift shelters together, 462 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: that's three hundred unsheltered people. His count matches the records 463 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: of the RAND researchers who also inspected that census tract, 464 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: but he's not sure loss of published his results. So 465 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: I think this is very suspicious and weird. You can't 466 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: have a zero in that section, a zero in Venice. 467 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: Come on, they should They should have stopped the process 468 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: right there. And I've also often won that about wondered 469 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: that about Polsters, because every once in a while you 470 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: get a pole that is wildly out of whack with 471 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: all the other poles and wildly wrong. In the end, 472 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, they have a candidate that everybody else thinks is, 473 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: you know, winning by three points, and in this poll 474 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: he's losing by seventeen. And I've always thought, why did 475 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: they go with a pole like that when it's that 476 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: far off from everything else, or is it that they 477 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: they you know, they somebody paid them to do it, 478 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: so that's what they have. And I don't know if 479 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: they do all kinds of weird waiting to the sample size. 480 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, But I don't know why people go 481 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: through with producing bad information. Well back to Bonnen, Oh, 482 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: the Times gives him a little lift here. The botched 483 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: Venice numbers may take some shine off the thirty eight 484 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: and a half percent decreased. Councilman Mike Bonnen, in a 485 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: celebratory tweet, credited to the largest and most successful placed 486 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: based homelessness intervention program in LA moving nearly three hundred 487 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: people indoors from tens on Venice Speech and in Westchester Park. 488 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: But if you add back the three hundred people missed 489 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: in the Venice count that's referred to in the previous paragraphs, 490 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: Bonnen would still have an impressive twenty nine percent improvements 491 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: instead of thirty eight and a half. But that leads 492 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: me to believe there were probably other undercounts or no 493 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: count We don't know the number. There's nobody who knows 494 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: the number. This was. This was a fake report. This 495 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: is fake news. I know a lot of people that 496 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: never have this seventy thousand homeless people in Eli County 497 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: that's been out there since twenty twenty. I guess I 498 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: know a lot of people who didn't believe that. They 499 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: thought that was a big undercount. I mean, Elli County 500 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: is huge, and that may sound like a big number, 501 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: it is compared to other places in the country. I 502 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: just look around. Well, that's why I've always been impatient 503 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: with people debating the exact number. Just open your eyes 504 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: and look, this is whatever it is. You've got to 505 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: clean it up. It's a disgusting disaster. Why does the 506 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: exact number matter. It's not a number you're ever going 507 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: to pin down anyway. Every day it changes. Just look around, 508 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: look on your block. But I think fifty people there. 509 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: You've got to get rid of the fifty people. I 510 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: think the number is how they base the funding and 511 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: how they parse out the money. Oh, like they do 512 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: with schools and student counts and stuff like that. Like 513 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: thee hundred and fifty million dollars we returned to the 514 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: federal government. Oh yeah, we got to talk about that, right, 515 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: So we get the funding and then we can't find housing. 516 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: And that story makes me even crazier because we'll talk 517 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: about it when we come back. John and m John's right, 518 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: nearly one hundred and fifty million dollars worth of federal 519 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: grants was returned in Los Angeles CAFI A six forty 520 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Well, this doesn't happen 521 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: every day on our show, but coming up in the 522 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: four o'clock hour, we'll be on the air when NASA 523 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: is going to slam a spacecraft into an asteroid. You 524 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: may have heard about this science story. Steve Gregory will 525 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: be along to talk about it. This is a project 526 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: from NASA. Well, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft DART 527 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 1: a small asteroid. I misunderstood. I thought they were going 528 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: to crash Steve Gregory into an asteroid which is bigger. 529 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: That's the way I wondered who would win that? You 530 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: see now he's not going to come on fourteen thousand 531 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: miles per hour. It's supposed to happen at four to 532 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: fourteen PMR time, first coming on at four. I know, 533 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: can we hear it? I guess we can watch it. 534 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: Can guess you can here? Eric, Maybe we can you 535 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: can get the audio of the feed up. Is that right? 536 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: I'll try and find the live stream on YouTube. Yeah. Yeah, 537 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: there's definitely gonna be a live stream. So if you 538 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: they've got to have maybe they got a microphone on 539 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 1: the dart. They have named the asteroid dimorphus. There you go. 540 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: I didn't know they named the asteroids. Of course, people 541 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: remember the Bruce willis moving arm Ageddon as they went 542 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: up there and blew up. Oh yeah, yes, I've always 543 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: rooted for that moment. How exciting would that be if 544 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: asteroid was hurtling to Earth and oh no, you want 545 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: it to collide and kill us? Well, there's that too. 546 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: That's an option again. But one of your fantasies is 547 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: to sit in your basement watching the end of the world. 548 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: You've said this many times. I know it still is. 549 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: Andy has a bunker built now, and I have a 550 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: bunker built now. Yeah, so he might even survive it, 551 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: which is a sad part. I want to be the 552 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: last guy left. This is my world. Now my world. 553 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm the only one left. I'm in charge'sies. He would 554 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: not take his wife and sons in with him. I'm 555 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: gonna barricade myself inside by myself. I will find a 556 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: way to self reproduce to keep the human race go. Yes, 557 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: I will divide like a worm or whatever. All right, 558 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: so that'll come up. At four o'clock we were talking about, well, 559 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: the vagrants. The news from the Olsagundo Times, it came 560 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: out late Friday, was that there are some LA City 561 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: Council members who were questioning the homeless count that just 562 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: got released a few weeks ago, because, for instance, in 563 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: one very overrun tract in Venice, they recorded no people, 564 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: no home, no homeless. Yeah. Zero, that's just not credible. 565 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: Literally zero zero people in northwest Venice that were homeless. 566 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: We also found out in a separate story, but kind 567 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 1: of related to all this, with all the money we 568 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: spend on the vagrants, sometimes we send it back. What 569 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: kneeling one hundred and fifty million dollars worth of federal 570 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: grants to the three main housing agencies working to reduce 571 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: homelessness in Greater LA went unspent between twenty fifteen and 572 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Instead of being used to address the acute 573 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: homelessness crisis, the money was returned to the US Department 574 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: of Housing. An urban element here listen. Apparently, employees they 575 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: are bought new cars, went on trips. Look, California sent 576 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: back money. Eighty five percent of the returned money was 577 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: for permanent housing. Permanent supportive housing. It's a big word. 578 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: They're like supportive for Karen Basset last week. All right, 579 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: that's my solution. We need permanent supportive houses. Okay, These 580 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: homeless industrial complex criminals, all the criminals that run the 581 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: LA homeless agencies and the criminals that run the homeless nonprofits, 582 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: they have been prattling on forever about the solution is 583 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: permanent housing. We need more funding, we need more resources. 584 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: The federal government gave them a hundred and fifty FFing 585 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: million dollars and they were turned at all because they 586 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: couldn't find any housing. Dispended on Yeah, the loss of spokeshole. A. 587 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: Mod Chapman said in an email. The data imperfect, but 588 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: it's a climate with the rental market, it's hard to 589 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,959 Speaker 1: except to access. It makes it very challenging to use 590 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: all the resources. But you have a hundred I guess 591 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't find the properties, is what he's saying, that 592 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: they could use for permanent supportive housing. I don't know 593 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: what it means, because usually there's rules and time limits 594 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: on this money aren't there, well, then but if the 595 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: rules and the time limits make it unworkable, then change 596 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: the rules and the time limits. The point is to 597 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: get these people off the streets, they claim the only 598 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: way to do that properly is through housing. Fine, here's 599 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars, and then they don't 600 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: put them in any housing. All these people want to 601 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: be arrested. Well, you don't want them. Buy in the 602 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: big place next to you, right and put homeless people 603 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: in it. Oh? Sure, yeah, I'd love them all in 604 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: my neighborhood. That'd be terrific. There's there is actually a 605 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: house next door to me that's nobody's living in most 606 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: of the time, Lady die. Oh yeah, for sale, though 607 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: not for sale. And but back at house you probably 608 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: thirty people easily there you go, Why don't you propose 609 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: it to I mean, it's not the Obama mansion in 610 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard, but it's it's a pretty good sized hand. 611 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: And still your councilman, tell them you got a place 612 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: for absolutely. I would love to see them over the 613 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: fence every day. That would be wonderful to have them 614 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: as neighbors. Now they don't. I mean, this is just 615 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to hear anything they 616 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: have to say. There are a bunch of incompetent boobs. 617 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: If you're giving one hundred and fifty million dollars and 618 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: all you have to do is put bodies in homes, 619 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: then put bodies in homes and don't tell me about 620 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: your problems. Figure it out. County people said they could 621 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: not find workable housing units, and with the clients that 622 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: would be the homeless, there was too much poor credit 623 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: and rental history problem. Okay, wait a second, is that 624 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: fun I thought that was the idea of it. Is 625 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 1: that the funniest line in the world. They can't find 626 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: homes for these people because these vagrants have poor credit 627 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: and rental histories. Who would have thought? Who would have 628 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: thought a guy living in his own vomit and feces 629 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: on the street has bad credit. Of course they do. 630 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: So what's what I don't understand. This is federal money 631 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: we're spending to give them free shelter. So why do 632 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: they need to have a credit history. Why do they 633 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: need have a rental history. We're giving them a free 634 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: place to stay in, We're paying their rent they don't 635 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: have to pay their rent. Of course they have a 636 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: bad that they're living in the street. They got needles 637 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: sticking out of their arms. What do you think they 638 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: have an AMEX platinum card. Weren't you a bit surprised 639 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: to see though, that the homeless industrial complex in LA 640 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: could not spend all the money and had to return 641 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: some That makes me think they've stolen so much they've 642 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: gotten nowhere to put it. They have nothing more to steal. 643 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: They've all got like nice houses and big cars and 644 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: bank accounts and vacation rentals, and they personally are satisfied 645 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: they've taken so much. Has to be that, because why 646 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't you find a way to delote one hundred and 647 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: fifty million? I like the way they quoted Deborah la Franci, 648 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: founder and chief executive of SDS Capital Group, which finances 649 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: the permanent supportive housing projects across Creator LA. Well, when 650 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: angelinoc funding reverting back to Washington, DC for homelessness, When 651 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 1: we have a homelessness crisis, it creates a lack of confidence. Yeah, 652 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: you're not kidding that the right solutions are in place? 653 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: Well didn't they didn't? We pay huge tax increases a 654 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: few years ago, billions of dollars of tax increases. Yeah, 655 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: when there was Proposition HHR Measure H they claim didn't 656 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: have enough money.
