Speaker 1: is the hundredth day of may Or bass Eddie today.

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, and what's changed. It's a milestone everything. All

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: the homeless are gone. Have you not noticed? Yeah, I

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: have been given permanent housing. They're all back. They've already

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: taken professional jobs. Yes, maybe we can get them to

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: fill in for the striking schools. Some of them are

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: working here, right, that's right, you're noticing, Yes, some new

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: unwashed faces. There is a story to get to that

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: ran in the weekend's New York Times about homeless people

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: in fe Nick and there was one part of it.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: I could not believe all the things I've seen here,

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that anybody would put up with this.

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what it is as homeless people are

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: camped outside of a guy's sandwich shop that's coming up

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But of course, one of the

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: lead stories besides the rain, is the strike at the

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: LA Unified School District. Some four hundred and twenty thousand

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: kids will not be going to school the next three

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: days Today Tomorrow Thursday was announced. It's a three day

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: strike and it's of course all on behalf of what

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: they call the service employees at the school. These are

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: people like the custodians and also the cafeteria workers, the

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: bus drivers. They want a thirty percent race. Let's bring

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: on KFI News is Chris Adler for more on the story.

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how's it going. It's going well, So is

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: anybody talking? No, not yet, at least there really is

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: no movement except right now there's a rally going on

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: outside of the district headquarters where thousands of people who

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: were on picket lines today are now in droves in

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the street outside of the district headquarters. You know, protesting,

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: holding up signs, picketing and really just fed up. But

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: there is no talk right now about negotiations, and it

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: looks like these next two days of striking through Thursday

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: are still on. If there's no agreement reached, what's next

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: for the unions. If they had their temper tantrum for

44
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: three days and they don't get what they want, then

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: what So that's the rule. That's the big question here.

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: And when I was at the rally in downtown LA

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: last Wednesday when they announced that they were going to strike,

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: Max Areas, he's the executive director for SCIU Local ninety nine,

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: he said that unless they unless they get what they

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: want and their demands are met, that they're heard, you know.

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: He said, it's really about respect. If they if they

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: continue to be disrespected and their demands are not met,

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: they will be an now seeing additional striking date. But

54
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: this isn't That isn't how a negotiation works. The way

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: the way that's phrased is it's all demands. Usually you

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: sit down and you work out and you come to

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: a middle. This guy's saying, if they don't take everything

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: we want point blank, we'll do something else. We'll strike again.

59
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. By the way, they're not negotiating for respect RSPCA,

60
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: They're not. They're negotiating. They can't the kids can't spelling,

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: because if the superintendent came out and said, you know what,

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: we'll put it in writing that we respect you. But

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: there's no ray that's right, there's still on strike, so

64
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: that that's just like cheap, stupid rhetoric. Well, well, Chris,

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: what do you know about how far apart they are?

66
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Seeing one story? The school district's offering twenty three percent,

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: they want thirty percent? Is it's something like that or

68
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: do you know how close they are? Yeah, So let

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: me just clarify something for you guys, and also for

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: the listeners who there could because there's a lot of

71
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: different information coming in from different directions. So UTLA is

72
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: the union that represents the teachers. They are requesting a

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: twenty percent pay increase. That's twenty percent for them, but

74
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: they are not on strike. SCIU Local ninety nine are

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: the service workers, custodians, bus drivers, teaching assistance. They are

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: the union that is on strike. They are asking for

77
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: thirty percent. Now, Carvallo did make an offer on Friday,

78
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: He made it publicly, and with retroactive pay going in

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty five, it would equate to about twenty

80
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: twenty I'm sorry, a twenty three percent raise. And when

81
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I was out on the picket lines today in Southgate,

82
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: I was speaking to workers and they said, you know

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: what it's unless he signs the contract. Asked with what

84
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: we are asking for, we're going to continue to strike.

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: That was the response. Yes, well that's that's not a negotiation. Then,

86
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: so after the three days here, if they don't get

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: what they want, we're gonna they're gonna extend the strike.

88
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: And we don't know that yet. Let me clarify something

89
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: else as well, coming from the workers. This is not

90
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: a new negotiation. They say, this has been going on

91
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: for almost a year. They've been at the table trying

92
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: to talk to talk to Carvalo, but they say that

93
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: he has not been responsive and only now is he

94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: coming to the table and putting it on them saying okay,

95
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: you know they don't want to negotiate, but they've been

96
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: trying to negotiate for over ten months. No, nobody's going

97
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: to sort out the past because everybody lies with these claims.

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: The question is is he's put out publicly which seems

99
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: to be a specific offer of twenty three percent. That's

100
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: what it amounts to when you add it all up.

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: So they're saying no to that. Essentially, they yeah, they

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: want thirty, they want thirty. But they're also saying this

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: strike is not just about the pay, as you've heard,

104
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: this is about respect and the mistreatment by the district

105
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: when they announced that they were going to go on strike,

106
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: and when they when they told the district that they

107
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: would eventually have a strike, the treatment that they received

108
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: from them, the retaliation of the job. How do you

109
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: make that up? And what he's supposed to do, Gravel,

110
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand what is the retaliation. What are they

111
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: talking about? I mean, did you talking about thousands of

112
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: employees where they all called in the room and slapped

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: in the face. I don't understand. Yeah, that's what they're saying. Well,

114
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: not you know, obviously not physically, but they were saying

115
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: that Carvallo and the district threatened that they would lose

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: their jobs, that they would be replaced, they should be replaced,

117
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: that he's right if he said that, then I'm right

118
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, because we can replace every single one

119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: of the people in that union in about five minutes.

120
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: There's millions of people available to work, and they take

121
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: those jobs at seconds, which is why they pay. Is

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: so low because there's a lot of people willing to

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: do it and are able to do it. Do we

124
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: know if the district is claiming they don't have the

125
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: money for this, is that what they're saying they can't

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: give thirty percent because they don't have the finance. The

127
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: district says on record that they that they do not

128
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: want to bankrupt the district, that they want to give

129
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: them the highest ever offer that they've ever historically given,

130
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: but they can't bankrupt the district. That's what they set. Now.

131
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: Reports are out there of the district having a nearly

132
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: five billion dollar reserve, but Carvolo has come back and said, no,

133
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: the reserve is closer to five hundred million. But well,

134
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: that's a huge difference. And how's anybody's supposed to know

135
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: what a proper reserve should be anyway? I mean, people throw, oh,

136
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: it's a five billion reserve. It's like, how do you

137
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: know that proved that? And how do we know five

138
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: hundred million is enough? I mean, this is this is

139
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: kind of silly. This is really silly. All right, Chris,

140
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: thank you very much, thank you, You're welcome. Guys, have

141
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: a good day. It's Chris Adler and KFI News covering

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: the LA Unified School District strike, which is not by

143
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: the teachers, although separately they want twenty percent, but we're

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: not at the point yet where they're ready for a

145
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: job action. This is about the support people in the schools,

146
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: the cafeteria, all these custodians, bus drivers, I get some

147
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: special EDG people. This is this is the special ed assistance.

148
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: They just are heartless. They just hate the kids, don't they.

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: They take advantage of families who've got no leverage. You know,

150
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: they don't have much money, they cannot move, they cannot

151
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: go to an alternate school. Some of them don't speak English,

152
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: some of them aren't here legally. They're not going to

153
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: make a fuss. And the unions know this. They know

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't do this on the West Side. You

155
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't do this in Glendale or in any suburb. Yeah,

156
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: there's there's no union that would if there are unions

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: in private schools, and they're not. You know, in fact,

158
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: there should be no unions when it comes to schooling.

159
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: There shouldn't be no unions. This is terrible. You're only

160
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: doing it because these parents are captive. They have to

161
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: go to LAUSD I met you, most of them wouldn't go,

162
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: but they just don't have the money and they don't

163
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: have the ability to move to a good school system

164
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: in the suburbs. And that is just an attack on

165
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: poor minorities, that's all it is. Because you would not

166
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: do this in Newport Beach, no way. So she mentioned

167
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: the head of the service union that's behind this, Max

168
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Arius said, then this story. The goal is to get

169
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: the average annual wages from members moved from twenty five

170
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: thousand to thirty six thousand dollars. Now, we'll talk about

171
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: that because they get benefits, and it is it is

172
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: in many cases a part time job. Not everybody's working

173
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: a full like eight or hour plus day. We'll talk

174
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: about this more we come back. It only takes so

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: long to make lunch. Uh yeah. And plus schools not

176
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: in session the entire day. Or if you're a bus driver,

177
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: as we said yesterday, you drive the kids in a break,

178
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: it's just so you drive the kids back. It's just

179
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: it's wild. If you actually sat down and broke down

180
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: their demands compared to how much work they do and

181
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: how much value is in their work, this whole thing

182
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: falls apart. That's why they rely on just a lot

183
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: of bluster and emotion, people going, oh, you know, they

184
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: work so hard. It's like, did you stop? It's something

185
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: that matter. It doesn't matter how hard you work, it

186
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: matters how valuable your work is. And it sounds to

187
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: me and the lister had sent this in an email,

188
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: and I think Chris sort of touched on it. This

189
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: union and I know we've we've been laughing at the

190
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: word respect, but this LA Unified School Superintendent Caravallo has

191
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: been pleading with them to come back in and talk.

192
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: They are the last few times I ever saw the story.

193
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: They don't really want to go to the bargaining table. No,

194
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: I think they do want to make a political street

195
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: show of this. Well, but they quote the respect that

196
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: they don't think they gets. The union is run by

197
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: these woke anarchist types who like to do performative theater.

198
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: That's they're also enhancing their own careers. And there's a

199
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: lot of people dragging along because they don't have We

200
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: see this in the teacher's union, right, we always hear

201
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: about teachers who object to the union. Yeah, but you

202
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: don't have the courage to fight them publicly, do you?

203
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: And the same thing here with the janitors and the

204
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: slotmakers for lunch. You don't have the courage to take

205
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: on the union. Nobody has the courage. The parents don't

206
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: have the courage either. So the biggest, loudest bullies are

207
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: going to win, and they're winning over everybody right now

208
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: because everyone else is too frightened and dim it. We're

209
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: coming up Johnny kenkf I AM six forty. We're live

210
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John and Ken

211
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: on demand from KFI AM sixty. All right. Of course,

212
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: one of the big stories and getting national coverage because

213
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: it is the second largest school district in the country.

214
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: LA Unified School District is completely on strike because the

215
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: teachers have walked out in sympathy with the service workers.

216
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: These are the employees in the cafeteria, driving the buses,

217
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: assistance in the classroom, and custodians, thirty thousand of them

218
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: being led by SEIU Local ninety nine. Read more about

219
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: this this word respect, You know what, besides the fact

220
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: that they that's why they're trying to call out of

221
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: attention and they're not coming to the bargaining table. This superintendent,

222
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: this guy that came from Miami. Carvallo has been pleading

223
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: with them to just sit down, maybe we can work

224
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: this out. But instead they wanted to make a real

225
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: public show of this. And it looks like it's because

226
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: they think they got ripped off in pass deals. So

227
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: they're trying to make up for everything they think they

228
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't get over the years in one big new contract.

229
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: Or are they just well they signed those deals. You

230
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: only get ripped off if you sign the deal. How

231
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: do you get ripped off if you've read the offer

232
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: and you said, I agree to the offers. That's note

233
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: I thought the district was poor and they didn't really

234
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: want to Well, then well then you well you have

235
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: to you know, if it's that important to you, then

236
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: you make them prove their their numbers. And plus, by

237
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: the way, you also have to understand where you are

238
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: in life and what your leverage is. Honestly, if you're

239
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: cleaning pots and pans or toilets, you don't have a

240
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: lot of leverage in the world. That's just the way

241
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: it is. Okay, if you're a Jeff Bezos or Trump,

242
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: you have more leverage to get your way. If you're

243
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: cleaning dishes, you don't have any leverage. The only way

244
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: to get that again is more skills in education. That's

245
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: the way the world's always going to be. And and

246
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: there's a larger agenda here on the part of the

247
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: Union leaders to become part of the great socialist movement

248
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: to up end America. That's that's what's really getting them

249
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: all jazzed up. And I've always talked about the bigger

250
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: picture as the US kind of loses it place in

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: terms of being the dominant world economy, slipping the second third,

252
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: whatever you think, that has a cascading effect on the

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: entire workforce. So people at the lower end just become

254
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: poorer and less skilled. But if you have a school

255
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: this is what's funny. If you have a school system

256
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: which largely does not teach math or reading effectively, then

257
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: you're only going to be qualified to clean dishes and toilets.

258
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of kids going through LAUSD who

259
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: are now out of school this week, and that's their future.

260
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: Their future are the people are on strike today. Now,

261
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what about making videos and social media? Good?

262
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: Good luck making money with that? People do, but not

263
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: a lot yet, No, no, don't. I mean, I've read

264
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: the statistics there's a tiny sliver that make it, and

265
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: the people who make it are unbelievably gorgeous mostly and

266
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: they can sell pictures of them or video themselves in

267
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: La jerie. So you know here what we're talking about.

268
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: The Times loves to profile some of the workers to

269
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: give its readers a real, in depth view of their lives.

270
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: This is an elementary school worker, Margarita Gasca. She's forty

271
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: eight years old and she works in the cafeteria. She's

272
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: been there for sixteen years. She makes sixteen dollars and

273
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: ninety one cents an hour, but she does get benefits,

274
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: which he says, that's basically what I'm working for. She

275
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: works six and a half hours a day, then says

276
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: I would welcome more work, but the district said there

277
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: are no more hours available, even though she claims, we're

278
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: short staffed and we have to feed the kids and

279
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of work to get the food out.

280
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: So you know what people have done for thousands of years.

281
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: They go and get a job in another school district,

282
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: or you go work in a hospital or a restaurant.

283
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: What's your job again, food service work. You could be

284
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: a food service worker at the Rich Carlton and make

285
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,479
Speaker 1: it true in salary, I have a resume with experience.

286
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: If your job is you're carrying a tray of food

287
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: and serving it, well why not carry the tray and

288
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: serve it in a place where people are going to

289
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: leave you fifty dollars tips while we've got to prepare

290
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: the lunches. John, they fill the plates, they do the dishes,

291
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: they clean the kitchen. Right, Well, you take those skills

292
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: somewhere better, or get new skills. You know. The beauty

293
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: about having freedom in a country like this is you

294
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: can get up in the morning and decide to do

295
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: anything that's within your physical and intellectual capabilities. Right. I mean,

296
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: maybe we can't all be astronauts, but you know, certainly

297
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: we can all be high end waiters. Right, we could

298
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: all do that. If that's you could do. And if

299
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: you're already serving food in a school for sixteen bucks

300
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: an hour, why don't you get an upgrade and find

301
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: out what does it take to get a job at

302
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: a high end restaurant. What I see in a lot

303
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: of restaurants, good ones and mediocre runs is they're begging

304
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: for workers. I do not understand being happy going to

305
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: a run down school in a bad neighborhood with kids

306
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: who are disrespect for one, don't want to eat your

307
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: food anyway. You're getting paid poop money, and then you

308
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning and you're bitch into a

309
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: newspaper reporter on how how awful life is. Yeah, well

310
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: this is my stuck in place speech. It's very common, well,

311
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: probably in other countries, but in this country. For some

312
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: people who grow up in a town, they just take

313
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: any job because it's time to take a job. And

314
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: then thirty years later they're still doing that job and

315
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: they're complaining, you've got to make time to change your

316
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: life now. And I don't know about this woman, but

317
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: in some cases what happens also is, oh, then there's marriage,

318
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: and there's children, and then there's all these obligations and

319
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: I didn't have time to better my skills well and

320
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: find a better work path. Then that's so I'm still

321
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: work at the same place I was twenty years ago.

322
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: And that's the price you pay. And I mean, there's

323
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: nothing I didn't tell my kids. And it's like, don't

324
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: get married until you your past thirty, get get don't

325
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: take on any financial obligations which include marriage and children

326
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: and you're prepared for But that's just not the way

327
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: it works with like eighty percent of people like well,

328
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: all right, but but then you pay a penalty for that.

329
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: There is a payoff, and it doesn't matter how many

330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: times you join some socialist parade. In the end, you're

331
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: still going to be scrubbing those dishes and you're still

332
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: going to be getting a crap wage. All right. Even

333
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: the twenty three percent they're offering has probably already been

334
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: eaten up by the inflation. So you're not gonna win this.

335
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: You've got to get up in the morning and do

336
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: something different. And you think about it, you're right. He

337
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: wants to raise the wage of some twenty five thousand

338
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: a year to thirty six thousand. That's still not a lot,

339
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, That's not if you want to really make

340
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: your way in life, particularly living in the LA area,

341
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do better than that. You can't

342
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: expect to get that from a job in a kitchen

343
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: or doing a janitor. Those should be transitory jobs. I have.

344
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: It never occurred to me actually until I got here

345
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: to LA and started dealing with all these like union

346
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: strikes and movements. Until I got to LA. I had

347
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: no idea that people ever looked at that kind of

348
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: job as a career to support a family. I mean,

349
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: we had we had workers at our schools that did

350
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: it for decades, but it was usually they were the

351
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: second income in the house, exactly. I knew a couple

352
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: of my friends in school. It was their mother working

353
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: in the cafeteria. But that was just the father had

354
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: the job and she just brought in a little extra money.

355
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like my mother had part time jobs

356
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: to bring in extra money for stuff during whatever hours

357
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: she could spare. But the idea that we would use

358
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: my mother's extra work pay to support to pay for

359
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: the mortgage and the car payments and all that, now

360
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: that's preposterous. All right, we got more coming up. We'll

361
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: be talking again about the strike next hour with a

362
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: different kind of guest. We'll explain who she is. But

363
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: she was involved in a huge Supreme Court case in

364
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen regarding fighting back against teachers unions. Johnny Ken

375
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: on the teacher's strike coming up after three o'clock. Our

376
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: guest played a big part in making some changes to

377
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: the power of the teachers unions when she took a

378
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: case to the US Supreme Court. We'll get her thoughts

379
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: on what's going on with LA Unified coming up after

380
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: three o'clock. Well, today is the one hundredth day of

381
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: Mayor Bassetti as the mayor of Los Angeles. Really means

382
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: nothing except articles we're being written about her first hundred days.

383
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: There's one that has appeared in the Los Angeles Daily

384
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: News or the Southern California News Group by Lynn Tott,

385
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: which I wouldn't say it's comple letely complimentary, but the

386
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: theme that you get from it is, well, her heart's

387
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: in the right place, and she's made homelessness to number

388
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: one issue and she's out there campaigning on it. Who care?

389
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: But those other people in the story he were interviewed said,

390
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really seeing a heck of a lot of change.

391
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: There is are in numbers about people being taken in

392
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: from the streets, But the problem with that number, and

393
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: we learned this during the Garciti administration, that doesn't mean

394
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: they don't rotate right back out there just because somebody

395
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: is quote housed that could be a hotel room for

396
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. And we learned yesterday that some

397
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: people are being pushed out of hotel rooms to make

398
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: room for new homeless people being moved in. And I

399
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: wonder what happens those homeless people like that guy we

400
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: saw in the Time story got moved to three hotels

401
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: at some point, he's probably just gonna say I'm going

402
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: back in the streets. They do go back in the streets,

403
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: and it's been going on for years. That's why there's

404
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: never any progress. Nobody stays in one of these shelters

405
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: for that long they don't like it, or they end

406
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: up making such a disgusting mess of the room that

407
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: they get kicked out. These people are not are are

408
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: completely completely broken. Their brains are just busted. They can't

409
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: live in a room by themselves. They can't. They'll destroy

410
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: it or they'll wander away. I don't I don't understand.

411
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: There doesn't seem and things back. Bissetti and the rest

412
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: of them know this, but they're just trying to manipulate

413
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: the public perception of what they really do. And of course,

414
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, all the all the woke, cute little progressives

415
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: at the LA Times go along with the fiction. But

416
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: she's done nothing because she even admits that she claims

417
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: they've housed four thousand people. Three out of the four

418
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: thousand are leftovers from the Garsetti Those are things that

419
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: are already in progress, and they do they always are

420
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: running people into shelters, but they wander out the back

421
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: door by the thousands constantly. There's no neck gain here.

422
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: They talk to Paul Friedman is what's something called the

423
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Community Action Network. He said, you look around,

424
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't look any different than it did during Garcetti's term.

425
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: There are even new encampments popping up. Those encampments everywhere,

426
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: So whatever she's doing is window dressing, and we don't

427
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: know whether or not those people are shoveling right back

428
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: out to the streets. So you have this disconnect where

429
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: a majority approve of her job, but a majority also

430
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: don't expect she's going to do anything on homelessness, and

431
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: everybody agrees that by far the most important issue. So

432
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: what are you approving of? Then you have no confidence

433
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: in her. She hasn't done very much. What's with the approval?

434
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: You're just trying to be nice. That's why those pauls

435
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: are pointless and stupid. Now, the New York Times did

436
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: a story that I believe just proves that all of

437
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: this is making its way east, and I'm talking about

438
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: the way cities in California and really the West coast, Portland, Seattle,

439
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: besides San Francisco, San Diego in LA are horribly dealing

440
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: with the homeless problem. They did a story spotlighting homelessness

441
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, Arizona, and it was about a couple that

442
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: run a sandwich shop. They have run the sandwich shop

443
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: for four decades, but in the last few years, the

444
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: homeless are camping out right outside. They have to get

445
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: up when they come to work every day. They have

446
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: to clean off the feces. They have to try to

447
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: move stuff to let people into their little sandwich shop.

448
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: But there was one part of the story that I

449
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it when I read it, and it shows

450
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: you the tolerance. The husband's name is Joe and the

451
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: wife is Debbie, that run the sandwich shop in Phoenix,

452
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: and it talks about a regular day, the lunch rush

453
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: is coming in. Debbie is greeting customers at the register.

454
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: A Joe is preparing tomato sauce and weighing out turkey

455
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: for a chef salad. And then suddenly a woman walks

456
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: up to the counter, wearing missed match shoes and carrying

457
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: a garbage bag of her belongings. She says, I need

458
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: to place a huge order I own dairy. Queen. Debbie

459
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: playing alongside oh wow, which one woman says, all of them,

460
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm queen of the Queen. Debbie responds, that's wonderful. She

461
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: leads the woman to a table with a menu and

462
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: a glass of water, and watches as a woman empties

463
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: her bag onto the table, rocks expired bus, passes a bicycle, tire, clothing,

464
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: seventeen batteries, a couple of needles and a flashlight. Would

465
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: you like me to take an order? Debbie asser, you

466
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: know why I'm here, and then bangs her fist against

467
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the table. The homeless woman, don't patronize me. This king

468
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: needs his payment. Can you believe the story? So the

469
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: homeless woman just comes into the sandwich shop and takes over.

470
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: Debbie refills the woman's water, walks behind the counter to

471
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: find Joe. For the past seven months, she was driven

472
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: to work with stomach pain and stress headaches. She's been

473
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: telling Joe that she was done working at old station,

474
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: which meant they should sell the restaurant, boarded up or

475
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: just move away from Phoenix, and she may even leave

476
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: without him. She's looking at real estate in a town

477
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: called Prescott, a hundred miles away. She says, what am

478
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: I supposed to tell this lady? I can't keep doing

479
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: this every minute? It's something. And I looked at that

480
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: and I said, wow, you tolerate this. Phoenix police tolerates this.

481
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: Phoenix government tolerates this. Where a slobby homeless woman can

482
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: walk in and PLoP herself down on the table and said,

483
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: I need what I need. Don't fool around with me.

484
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: You know why I'm here. Yeah, they should. This is

485
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: a sense of entitlement and lack of responsibility that's running

486
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: rampant police nobody's calling these people in three minutes and

487
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: and and put her locker up somewhere in a mental institution.

488
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: Okay she Oh. By the way, you notice in that

489
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: pile of junk she threw out on the table, there

490
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: were several needles. Needles, yeah, right now, right right, you

491
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: just and this place tried. Look at they hired a

492
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: sandwich maker who was homeless and lost his teeth after

493
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: years of addiction. That I mean, I hate to pick

494
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: on the sandwich shop owners, but they've tried to live

495
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: with this, I guess, because nobody's going to remove these

496
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: homeless people, they've tried to make the best of it

497
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: by hiring one. It's who everybody votes for. It's who

498
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: you vote for. You didn't have to vote for Eric

499
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: Garcetti or Karen Bass. You could have voted for other people.

500
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: Other people, if they get into power, would not tolerate this.

501
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: They'd say no answers. No. They tell the police chief,

502
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: we're going to be arresting these people and putting them,

503
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: forcing them to move to another town or go to

504
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: the desert, will drive them to the desert, will put

505
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: them on a bus, put them somewhere, put them in

506
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: a mental institution. You want to hear the whole list

507
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: of what they've done outside this couple's restaurant. They have

508
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: slept on Joe and Debbie's outdoor tables. They've defecated behind

509
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: the back ports. They've smoked meth in the parking lot,

510
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: washed their clothes in the bathroom sink, Pilford bread and

511
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: gallons gallon jars of pickles from their delivery trucks, had

512
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: sex on their patio, masturbated within view of their employees,

513
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: and lit fires for warmth that burned down some palm

514
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: trees and scared away customers. That list is I would

515
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: have been long gone. There's gotta be somewhere else you

516
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: can live and open up a sandwich shop. You want

517
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: to listen to this list. Within a half mile of

518
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the restaurant, the police were called eight times a day

519
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: last year, a thousand and ninety seven calls for emergency

520
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: medical help, five hundred seventy three fights or assaults, two

521
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: hundred thirty six trespassing incidents, one hundred eighty five fires,

522
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: one hundred forty thefts, one hundred twenty five armed robberies,

523
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: thirteen sex assaults, four homicides, and the remains of a

524
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty week old fetus and left next to a dumpster

525
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: p Two people stabbed in their tents. Sixteen others dead

526
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: from overdoses, suicides, hypothermia, or excessive heat. This is all

527
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: in one year, within a half mile their restaurant. And

528
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: I'll bet you Phoenix wasn't like this just a few

529
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: years ago. I'm telling you this contagion from California is

530
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: moving east to places like this. I mean, I've been

531
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: to Vegas a bit. They have some problems, but I

532
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: think they're trying to keep it under control because tourism

533
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: is way too important there. So I heard this morning

534
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: there was a story from the border Brownsville. In two days,

535
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: authority seized two and a half million fentanel pills. Two

536
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: and a half And that's what they seize, that's what

537
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: they see because most think of what gets through, because

538
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: that's at the border station where all the cars are checked.

539
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: That's right. Most of the pills come in between the

540
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: border stations. The cartels go through open land. But you

541
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: know what I was listening on the radio and actually

542
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: stopped and rewound it and played it three times to

543
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: make sure I got that right. That it was in

544
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: two days, two and a half million pills at one checkpoint.

545
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm more coming up, Johnny Ken K I am six forty.

546
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere the iHeart Radio app. You're listening to

547
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: John and Ken on demand from KFII. We're on the

548
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: radio from one until four. After four listened to the

549
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: podcast John and Ken on demand on the iHeart app.

550
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Same show. That's right. You can enjoy it as many

551
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: times over as you want to and in whatever state

552
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: you are, in the hot tub or you know, the

553
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: more you drink, the better the show is. That is

554
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: probably true, particularly with your rants. People just laughing hysterically,

555
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: just get all worked up, fuming and spitting. Yeah, just

556
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: I'd say six shots and then give it a spin. Uh. So,

557
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: I was looking to do this story on one of

558
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: our long time favorite celebrities to talk about it, the

559
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: John and Ken show, Miss Goop. Is it Goop? Gwyneth

560
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: Paltrow is in the news, but I got sidetracked by

561
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, they have the side of the story, other

562
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: stories about the person. Uh, Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she had

563
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: rectal ozone therapy for wellness. Is it safe? Shall I

564
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: click that story or just leave it? Rectal ozone therapy? Yeah?

565
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: Does she have ozone shot up her ear? And one

566
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: guess that's exactly what it is? Oh, shut click it?

567
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Uh click it. Okay, where you're gonna get You're gonna

568
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: get ads for rectal This was Oh, this was recent.

569
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: They just posted this uh well sixteenth a few days ago.

570
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: Lea share wellness girl. Gwyneth Paltrow would rather smoke crack

571
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: than cheese from a can. When it comes to blowing

572
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: air up or butt, She's all in. During an appearance

573
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: on a podcast called the Art of well Being, she

574
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: revealed the weirdest wellness thing she's ever done. I have

575
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: used ozone therapy rectally, she admitted during the podcast. It's

576
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: pretty weird, but it's been very helpful. Medical grade ozone

577
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: gas created by using an ozone generator device, is administered

578
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: to your body. And I guess rectally is the word

579
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: or the anus now while ozone gases, so she fills

580
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: her colon with ozone. Yes, well, it's it's made in nature.

581
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: The FDA does call it toxic. A substance. It could

582
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: be injurious to your health. You think shooting ozone up

583
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: your ass would be toxic? Yes, exactly, you think. I mean,

584
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm a layman. I don't know you can. Also, I'm

585
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: not a wellness guru. Mix it in your blood, apply

586
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: it to the skin, injected into muscle. But well, what

587
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: she wanted to write up the pooper? What does she

588
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: get out of this? Well, I was wondering what some believe.

589
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: It helps blood circulation, It boosts the immune system. It

590
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: can help defend you from bacteria and fungi and reduced

591
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: oxtative stress. Whatever, I'd rather blueberries? All that's going on

592
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: in her rear end. Well, she's hoping that this is preventative. Yes,

593
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: Now the reason she's in the news, Are there other

594
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: reasons that you would do that? She's in a civil

595
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: trial where she is being sued by a retired optometrist

596
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: who she slammed into while skiing. How about that doctor

597
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: Terry Sanderson is suing Paltrow over the crash from twenty sixteen,

598
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: calling it hit and run that after slamming into him,

599
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: she went off and didn't even stay to see if

600
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: he was okay. Distracted skiers caused crashes, and Gwyneth Paltrow

601
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: knew that looking up the mountain and to the side

602
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: while skiing down the mountain was dangerous, and she knew

603
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: a skiing could be and she was reckless while skiing. Wait, wait,

604
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: she's she she was skiing down the mountain, but she

605
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: was turning her looking to the side. Right, she was

606
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: looking up the mountain up and then to the side,

607
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: so kind of back and over right. That's what he

608
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: claims in the suit that she I heard today is

609
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: claiming that he ran into her. M. She's got a countersuit. Yeah.

00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Her lawyer is saying, no, no, he's he's the bad

611
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,960

00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: I have the sundpite if you want to play it

613
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: on me, grab it all right, there you go. There's

614
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: a question, well who ran into who? And he says

615
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: did your you ran into me? And like, no, you

616
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: ran square right into me. M. Yeah, you're right. She's

617
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: countersued this man, insisting that he was the one who

618
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: rant it to her. She's got a lot of she

619
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: did stay at the scene. She's got a lot of

620
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: money to hire a lawyer just to say the opposite. Well,

621
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: she's only asking for a dollar and damages. Yeah, but

622
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: she's trying to cut cut off his case. Yeah, and

623
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: he has to pay the legal fees if she wins, right, Yeah,

624
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: she's trying to avoid damage. Yeah. The story is that

625
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: she was skiing down a green hill with her two

626
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: children and her future husband. Oh boy, that guy must

627
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: be a PI you imagine, and four instructors, and she

628
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: slammed into this man from behind. As the claim, you

629
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: get up in the morning here and it's your wife's

630
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: ozone machine attached her. I think you go to a

631
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: special place. I think next to your bedside. Aren't I

632
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: good enough for tank of ozone that you can insert?

633
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Do you really need that machine? Honey? Uh. Paltrow has

634
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: been skiing since she was three years old. She considers

635
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: herself an intermediate skier. She was skied about a half

636
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: dozen times at this Deer Valley ski resort. According to

637
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: one of the attorneys, he's for three hundred thousand dollars

638
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: in damages, claims he still has brain injuries. This retired

639
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: optometrist Paltrow fell on top of Sanderson and he broke

640
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: four ribs and had a concussion, and he claims she

641
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: bolted from the scene. One of the stars ski instructors

642
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: asked Sanderson's friend if he understood that your buddy just

643
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: took out Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh, you see, because that bolster's

644
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: airclaimed that he hit them because the ski instructor said,

645
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: you your buddy took out Gwyneth Paltrow celebrity right, well,

646
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: who knows. He was briefly unconscious following the crash, and

647
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: he eventually had to go to a healthcare facility and

648
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: decided to sue. So now here we are seven years

649
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: later and it's finally him seven years later. Yeah, it

650
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: was twenty sixteen. Why now and his brain still doesn't work,

651
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: That's what he claims. Okay, I don't know. She's still irritating.

652
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if she hit the guy or not,

653
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: but she's really possibly the most irritating female ce Liberty

654
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: for me for my taste in the game. Coming up next,

655
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a woman who was involved

656
