I know Altadena doesn't get as 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: much play as the Palisades, but if it's in Altadena, 11 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: it's going to be in the Palisades.

No visible rebuilding. 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: People don't know what to do in the Palisades. We 39 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: have still massive homeless situation. We've still got all kinds 40 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: of crime. That Ensino couple that was killed where I 41 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: grew up. Yeah, there doesn't seem to be anybody in charge, 42 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: anybody that the public can talk to anybody saying, Okay, 43 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: this is wrong.

Here's 45 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: the metrics that you can judge us on. Here's who 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: in charge when it comes to the rebuild. Here's who's 47 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: in charge when it comes to cleaning up the homeless 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: for good. We've got seventy thousand and I know these 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: are all California, Southern LA problems, Southern California problems, and 50 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: you're running to be governor of the whole state. But this, 51 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: this is overwhelming everybody here, and it's never ending. 52 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: We've got local and state issues that are so prolific, 53 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: and it comes down to this, John. We've got no 54 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: accountability enough. We've got no enforcement of our laws. Okay, 55 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 2: we have no execution on getting things done. 56 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: Enough enough. 57 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: We've even allowed these nonprofits to get involved, whether it 58 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: was Evan Spiegel or Rick Crusoe with La Steadfast to 59 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: make the Palisades the Palisades, or Magic Johnson with the state. 60 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: You see anything being done. 61 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: No, I'm just not. I mean, just look I know 62 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: Rick really well, yeah, me too, and I went to 63 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: high school. Yeah, and he tries to do a lot 64 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: of good work, absolutely, but you get stymied by Karen 65 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Basston City Hall. Everybody does. Everybody tries to work from 66 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the outside, she stymies you. There's nothing you can do. 67 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know what to do here. People are 68 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: asking me. Something's got to change. Something's got to change. 69 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: We got to wake up and get new leadership all 70 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: over the place. You got to get new leadership all 71 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: over the place. We need business acumen running this great city, 72 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: in this great state. 73 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: I remember going all the way back being a kid 74 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: growing up that I grew up near New York. When 75 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: every things would get kind of out of control, the 76 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: business leaders would step in and write the ship because ultimately, 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: you know, they paid the bills, they made the donations 78 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: to the campaigns, and they wanted to protect their companies 79 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: and their investments and their employees. I don't see that 80 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: force here. I think they were strong in the nineties 81 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles into the two thousands, but last 82 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: ten years there's no business leaders or corporations coming forth. 83 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: Moving is what they're doing now, that's the new way 84 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: they're handling it. They're just getting. 85 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: Getting down because as customers of this state, which we 86 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: all are the leaders aren't talking its best customers? And yeah, 87 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: business leadership ran the state, ran our communities, the cities 88 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: and counties. Explain to me why the business leaders aren't 89 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: standing up and banging the doors down on city hall 90 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: right now? Explain that to me? And why don't they 91 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: just cut off their donations? I mean, why aren't they 92 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: getting aggressive? And I know Rick, Rick's a friend, but 93 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: why isn't Rick with la Steadfast going absolutely eight and 94 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: handling it. I mean, he's authoritative, He's built a great 95 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: business as I have, and you know, enough pandering. There's 96 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: no room for pandering. Rick's not compromised. I'm not compromise. 97 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: Go after these folks. This is our money, our community, 98 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: and enough is enough. Seven months with how many permits 99 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: have been pulled handful a travesty, a travesty. These are 100 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: heart truths, okay, and we can't take it anymore. 101 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: Remember that. 102 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're at that point. We're at that point. These 103 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: careerists that we've elected, they're all compromised. No one is 104 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: rolling up their sleeves and getting the job done for us, 105 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: the customers of Southern California and California. 106 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: The problem exists. I mean Mayor. Lurry's trying up north. Now. 107 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: At least we elected a great da in Los Angeles 108 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 2: and fixed that yeah debacle, someone with independence, somebody that 109 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: actually wants to serve. We got to stop electing those 110 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: that are looking for a title and a paycheck, that 111 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: have never signed the front of a check, that know 112 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: what it's like to come out of their pockets for payroll. Okay, enough, 113 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: I'm with you. We are all Californians together. So how 114 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: could you break through? If you're governor? 115 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: You have a legislature that is seventy percent progressive. They 116 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: could override anything that you vita. They could pass anything 117 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: they want. How do you deal with this? Well, the 118 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: good news is it's like the city council. The good 119 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: news is, you know, my mentors in this business were 120 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton and Harry Reid, my adopted father. Harry was 121 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: an assassin, but he learned to teach coach counsel. And 122 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: the job of a good governor is to teach coach 123 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: counsel and teach unintended consequences and teach everyone it's not 124 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: their money. 125 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: Coach counsel. It's a business term, it's not a political term. 126 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: I'm not a politician. I'm a business guy. We've got 127 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: to teach, coach, counsel, our team that they work for 128 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: the people of our great state, our country of California. 129 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 2: We have to be on offense. We've got to unify 130 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: with the federal government. We used to be the bully 131 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: pulpit of the United States growing up here. We've got 132 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: five great exports of this state, not in any order, 133 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: Tourism and travel, agriculture, entertainment, innovation, manufacturing, and education. 134 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: As it was, we were. 135 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: The best in class, best in class, and there's no 136 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: reason four point one trillion dollar GDP we should be 137 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: much higher than that. But we've got to operate with 138 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: performance and results. California needs a Department of performance and results. 139 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: We have forty five thousand new state workers over the 140 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: last ten years, and what are the results a deficit? 141 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: This state should be in a position where we should 142 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: lower taxes. 143 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 3: Just say that. Well, that's the way it was when 144 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: I grew up. 145 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: And there's no reason that we can't be heart center, 146 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: heart center, because that's who California is. 147 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: We we got to take a break, we come back, 148 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: we'll talk further.

And I don't 300 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: know why that is, but but all the television stations 301 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: in the LA Times never discuss the unemployment problems here 302 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: in California, which are really bad. Do you know our 303 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: state unemployment rate really is tied for first worst unemployment 304 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: rate in the country. We're tied with Nevada at five 305 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: point four percent. That's the state average. It's worse than 306 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: five point four percent in a lot of places. In 307 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: Los Angeles it's five point seven percent.

I think the average unemployment rate in the 311 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: country is about four point one. Here, it's five eight. 312 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: In an empire five point nine. You know, the Central 313 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: Valley where they're wasting all that money on high speed 314 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: rail and they claim, well, we got to do it 315 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: because it's providing jobs. I don't know. Central Valley is 316 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: eight point seven percent unemployment, highest unemployment, with the worst 317 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: gas prices in the country and the highest taxes. And 318 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: John Fleischman writes at private industry hemorrhaging jobs. Here's what 319 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: happened in June. Manufacturing down sixty four hundred positions minus 320 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: sixty four hundred. The Tech Information Center lost sixty one hundred. 321 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: Professional science and technical services dropped thirty two hundred workers. 322 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: The only significant gain came from government employment and healthcare, 323 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: which added eleven thousand positions government employment. So all the 324 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: major private sector job categories lost government employment and healthcare, 325 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: and of course healthcare runs largely not tax money. When 326 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: you added all private industry lost seventeen thousand jobs. We 327 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: are thirty fifth among all states in job growth. You 328 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: exclude farming. And they that there's a chart here and everything, 329 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: almost everything is minus. I mean, we're losing in industries 330 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: all over the place. I don't understand. You know, we 331 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: have lost hundreds of thousands of people. Actually it's in 332 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: seven figures. 333 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 4: Now. 334 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: Newsom goes on these podcasts and outright lies and the 335 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: one thing a lot of podcasts hosts I am. I mean, 336 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't spend a lot of time listening too. I mean, 337 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: my time is taken up trying to put this stupid 338 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: thing together every day, so I can't listen to what 339 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: everybody else does. And I really don't care what anybody 340 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: else does. But you know, we do get snippets from 341 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: podcasts that do some appeer on. And what I've realized 342 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: is like all these all these knuckleheads who goes to 343 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: podcast they don't do any research, so they don't own anything, 344 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: and they don't challenge him. I mean, for all the 345 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: podcast clips we've played and all the stories I've read 346 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: about these interviews he's doing, and I don't care if 347 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: it's a right wing guy or a left wing guy 348 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: or a no wing guy. None of them say, hey, 349 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: we got the highest unemployment in the state, Davin, we 350 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: got more people moving out than anybody else in the nation. 351 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: Just look at Look at U haul move outs, We're 352 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: number one. Look at U haul move ins, We're last 353 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: in fact one. Thing I'm gonna get to in the 354 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: next segment. It's so bad. We're gonna lose a record 355 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: number of congressional seats in five years. We're gonna lose 356 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: maybe five congress seats, which is going to mean five 357 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: fewer electoral votes, which means five fewer electoral votes for 358 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: the Democratic candidate. And we're not the only state in 359 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: that pickle. In New York is that way too, Illinois, 360 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: all the left wing progressive governments are shedding, are shedding 361 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: a residence like crazy, because you know, New York's electing 362 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: a communist. Chicago has a hard lunatic as mayor there. 363 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: We've got our cashtro girl and news them and people 364 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: are fleeing. Tax base has taken a big hit. They're 365 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: driving out Americans and fighting to the death to keep 366 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: illegal aliens that we the ones remaining in the state, 367 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: have to finance. This is what's crazy. When you spell 368 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: it all out, you don't how many middle class to 369 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: wealthy people have moved out of the state of California. 370 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: I know this because I can't believe the number of 371 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: people we have listening to the podcast from out of 372 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: state and they write to us. They're ex Californians. They 373 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: listen because it justifies their move. They feel better. It's like, 374 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: oh my god, the place is going to hell. We 375 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: did the right thing, honey, seriously. So they took all 376 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: their tax money. So Newsom has this huge deficit because 377 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: so much of the spending goes for illegal aliens thirty 378 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: five billion a year. Now we're going to lose congressional seats. 379 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: And strangely, it's his own parties that's gonna get screwed 380 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: because there it's the Democratic stats that are losing the 381 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: electoral votes, and it states like Florida and Texas that 382 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: are going to be gaining the electoral votes. This is 383 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: a suicide mission. People are running screaming from the socialism 384 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: and the extreme taxes and the overrun of illegal aliens. 385 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: Newsom and Bassard defending it to the death, and it's 386 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: gonna screw the National Party over because nobody has to 387 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: live here, nobody has to put up with this, and 388 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: they're not. And then he goes and outright lies on 389 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: the podcasts, and the blockheads on the podcast don't know 390 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: any better because they don't read. It would be really 391 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: cool to have a podcast. Okay, Oh well we've got 392 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: a big get this week. We got the governor, Gavin Newsom. Okay, 393 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: and he knows what he's dealing with. He knows he's 394 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: dealing with ignorant, uninformed hosts. So he's just gonna splurt, 395 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: splurt out all this nonsense. Is splurter word. 396 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 5: I don't think it is. Actually, I don't know where 397 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 5: I got that thumb. I don't know all the time. 398 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: I don't know what I was gonna say. But splurt works, 399 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: doesn't it blurt blurt? 400 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 5: So there we go. There you go, I like splurt.

So Jeremy 409 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Padderwer coming up in three o'clock. 410 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 411 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 4: six forty. 412 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven Moys eighty six use the talkback feature 413 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: on the iHeart app. We were talking about how high 414 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: the unemployment is under Gaven Newsom. We are tied for 415 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: number one in the country at five point four percent lost. 416 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: An angelis even higher at five point eight percent. Yes, 417 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: we are living in one of the most unemployed states 418 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: in the nation. And if you're in La County, you're 419 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: living in one of the most unemployed counties in the nation, 420 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: with the highest tax rates and the most homeless. And 421 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom had a signature policy that the legislature put 422 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: through last year. You remember the minimum wage for for 423 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: fast food restaurant workers, twenty dollars an hour, a living wage, 424 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: they said, well, as a great term of bs living wage, 425 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: twenty dollars an hour. Actually it has turned into no 426 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: wage for eighteen thousand workers after a few months, just 427 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: a few months after they passed an hour mandatory for 428 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: fast food workers, eighteen thousand of those people lost their jobs. 429 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: Eighteen thousand got fired because the restaurants couldn't afford to 430 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: pay it. Now, if you go to some restaurants, you're 431 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: you're you're playing with a kiosk. You have a big 432 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: board in front of you.

S eighteen 501 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: thousand people out of work, eighteen thousand people highest unemployment 502 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: rate in the country. Do you hear any of this? Disgusted? 503 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 3: No. 504 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: Three economists from UC California, U see, San Diego, Texas, 505 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: A and M. This is one of the largest one 506 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: time minimum wage increases in United States history, and they 507 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: expected employment in the fast food industry to immediately fall 508 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: up to four percent. So all the people shaking the 509 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: fry basket, flipping the burgers, whatever work they do, work 510 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: in the counter. As soon as they got that twenty 511 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: dollars an hour wage, gone, gone, gone, eighteen thousand people fired. 512 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: Now the communist in New York Zoron Mamdani, he wants 513 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: to pay people thirty dollars an hour. Is a minimum 514 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: wage thirty? Well, what do you think is going to 515 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: happen if we lost eighteen thousand here in a few months, 516 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: just in the fast food industry. If he has a 517 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: citywide thirty dollars an hour minimum wage for all the industries, 518 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people or more. They don't understand 519 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: simple economics, supply and demand. Business owners do not want 520 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: to go out of business, and they'll do everything they 521 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: can to prevent it. And over time, a robot is 522 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: going to be far cheaper, a kiosk is going to 523 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: be far cheaper. There might be a one time expense upfront, 524 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: but as years go by, it's a win for the 525 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: business owner. Why are why are union people so stupid? 526 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: Why are politicians so stupid? Why are they just so deceitful? 527 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they know they don't care. I guess I don't know. 528 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: Do the unions get a hit from increasing the dues 529 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: for all the people who are now making twenty dollars 530 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: an hour instead of fifteen dollars an hour? Does that 531 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: increase the dues so that gives them more cash to steal? 532 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what their motivation is, all right, Jerry 533 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: and Powder were coming up, Jeremy writes a blog on 534 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades Dot Connie lost his home in the fire, 535 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: and he has been on Karen Bass's case. There are 536 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: signs all over the place Karen Bass resigned now. In fact, 537 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: I saw a big one this morning big banner sign 538 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: and somebody's empty lot where their home used to be. 539 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: And we posted on all our social media sites.
