What's the 41 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: day people show up for work? Is that today? Maybe not? Oh, 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: I forgot. You're right, the office is usually empty. I thought, yeah, 43 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: I thought thursdays they're there. I thought Friday and Monday, 44 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: nobody's there. I've heard it's actually I'm reading surveys around 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: the country. That is what's happening. People are being told 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: to come back two to three days, and most are 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: picking Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. They like that long weekend thing, right, 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: which means they're not working on Mondays and Fridays. If 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: they're well, they're working from home. Very productive, you think 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: they are. I read a long story that the results 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty were phenomenal in terms of work productivity 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: from home. And now this year, yeah, right now that 53 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: people have really become entrenched at home, they're getting lazier 54 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: and yeah, less interesting. Because people were scared if they 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: were at a sight that something dad might happen to them. 56 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, they're not scared anymore, and nobody's looking over 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: their shoulders. So yes, you know, and because somebody others 58 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: are working from home, you don't feel the same competitive 59 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: verges right that you would. No, I mean I saw 60 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: I know this story which says the most likely people 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: to be laid off are the remote workers. They're going 62 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: to be possibly the first in rounds of layoffs. It 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: could be coming to the big recession hit us. You 64 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: know right away who's got driving who doesn't. No, it's 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: an instant test. In fact, later on in the show, 66 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: and as you mentioned this the other day, and then 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: I just found this day in the New York Post Nils. 68 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about nils. These are men who 69 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: are NILF not in the labor force, and the number 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: has grown alarmingly in the last several years of men 71 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: good working age, you know, twenty five to sixty just 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: lying there. They've had it their prime years, not doing anything, 73 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: not doing anything. They've they've just pulled back and resigned. 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: And we'll tell you supposedly what the reasons are. We 75 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: want to take a moment now on the John and 76 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: Ken Show to give our best wishes to Craig Cope. 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 1: Craig is the is the owner of the Nord Call 78 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: Market and liquor store, which this past August, in fact, 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: I had him on the air exactly three months ago. Well, 80 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: he was behind the counter very early in the morning. 81 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: M Craig I believe owns the store and he doesn't 82 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: mind working a lot of the shifts, and that's what 83 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: he was doing that night. And he looked up at 84 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: his monitor and he saw a car pull into the 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: parking lot and he saw guys with guns, and he said, 86 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: this is not going to be good. Well, one of 87 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: them came into the store to begin the robbery, and 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 1: Craig wasted no time from behind the counter and he shot. 89 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: I can listen to that all day. That's like the 90 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: best audio of the year. Yeah, yeah, stupid, stupid robber 91 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: screaming he shot my arm off, comes into this door 92 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: and he goes freeze and then Craig fires at him, 93 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: and he goes running out to his friends and you 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: can hear him screaming, and they shot my arm off 95 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: and they don't get in the car. That's what it 96 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: feels like to drive away. I don't know ultimately what 97 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: happened to his arm. I didn't follow his hospital can 98 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: They were all arrested, all four of them. So Craig 99 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: did what anybody has to do with particularly in today's world. 100 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: He stood his ground. And he wasn't gonna wait for 101 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: this guy to shoot him. We're we're taking a moment 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: because Craig apparently suffered a stroke. Uh says here last 103 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: week he had a stroke. They don't know how long 104 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: he was down. His wife found him. This update from 105 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Fox eleven says he's not able to talk or move. Um. Yeah, 106 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: it's not good because he's eighty. So they're holding prayer 107 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: vigils and sending cards to the Kope family. So we 108 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: just wanted to add our our best wishes because that's 109 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: that's you know, it's really really tough year for him, 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: and obviously this is the worst development. Yeah, well all 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: the stress probably didn't help. We're gonna play this one 112 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: clip from that interview from August because I'm glad you 113 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: picked this one, Eric, because he was talking about a 114 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: previous robber that apparently came into a store and Craig 115 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: had like a conversation with them, and Craig was John. 116 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Obviously Craig is aware of people like George Gaskol and 117 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: what's happening with the criminal justice system. A lot of 118 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: my interview with them was that he's just frustrated with 119 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: the fact that nothing happens to these guys. You know, 120 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: they've just been right through the system. They're back out 121 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: there again, so why wouldn't they want to continue to 122 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: try to steal money? So let's listen to him talk 123 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: about this story. As far as a political aspect, I've 124 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: been in business quite a while, and these people that 125 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: are doing some of what they're doing now, it's just 126 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: hard to imagine whatever their motivation can be because they 127 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: don't really have a clue what's going on. They don't 128 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: they've probably never been in a circumstance like that. They 129 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't think they would. I don't think they could 130 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: do what I do and a lot of other people 131 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: like me do. And if it doesn't change, I mean, 132 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: we're just it's just getting worse and worse. I had 133 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: a guy one time that I had taken into custody. 134 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I had him handcuffed and down on the ground waiting 135 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: for the chefs can take him off my hand. He 136 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: was a burgler, right, I apprehended him. He was a 137 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: bad guy. Here. We get to talking and I was 138 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: asking me, why do you do this? And I never 139 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: forget he told me. He says, I'm a burglar. That's 140 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: my job. He viewed it as a job when he said, 141 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: I got up, I get up when it gets dark 142 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: and I go burglers places and that's my job. Well, 143 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: if he views it as his job, I don't see 144 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: what's going to change that except lock him up and 145 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: maybe he'll have time to figure it out time he 146 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: gets out. But if we don't make some changes, things 147 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: are going to get continually worse. If I haven't inspired 148 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 1: anybody there, you think a little different, it would be great, 149 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: because we got a messk on in here and it's 150 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: got to be changed. That is like the way you 151 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: put that right, because that that is the way probably 152 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: some of these crooks treat things today, the justice system 153 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: being just a shambles the way it is. This is 154 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: just my job. I got about and do my job. Tonight. 155 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: I gotta go steal stuff. Yeah that I've been convinced 156 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: of that for a long time. This is what they do. 157 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: This is why you can't rehabilitate them. This is why 158 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: you know you don't prattle about second chances. This is 159 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: what they do, and they make their money and it's 160 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: relatively easy. It is not hard if you have a 161 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: gun in your hand to drive up to a convenience 162 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: store or a jewelry store, point a gun and say 163 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: give me what you got, or smash and grab it. 164 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: It's easy work. And you drive over and you know, 165 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: resell the crap to a fence and your business. It's 166 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: not hard to do. These people are sociopaths that they 167 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: don't really fear anything, and why should they fear anyone 168 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: because you have a gun, They don't. Craig cope. There's 169 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: a rare exception and there's not gonna be any consequences 170 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: in La County. We read an opinion column in the 171 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal by the former Attorney General William Barr, 172 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: and he said, it is a small percentage of the 173 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: criminals who commit most of the crimes over and over again. 174 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: The answer is simply keep them locked up. We're in 175 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: a situation in California now. How many times we talked 176 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: about this, how the prison population has dropped dramatically the 177 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: last few years, the pandemic speeding things up, things like 178 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: Proposition fifty seven, adding to the misery prop forty seven. 179 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: What we're having is more of those people are free, 180 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: and just like the guy that Craig talked about, this 181 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: is their job now because they can get away with it. 182 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: These are stupid, destructive, foolish policies. And it's proven every time. 183 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: You know, you just look at the news every day. 184 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: Every day, it's proven how stupid, destructive and foolish these policies. 185 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: Are guys driving vans into a high end stores in 186 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, right and stealing stuff twice just a few months. 187 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: We would since I'd love to ask some of these, 188 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: these these nutty progressive politicians, except I swear to god, 189 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 1: I really questioned their motivations. But that's another story. Ah, 190 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: what would make somebody give up a life of crime 191 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: If they're getting away with it and making good money 192 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: and there's no consequences, why would they? How? How hard 193 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: is the work? I mean, yeah, you could get shot 194 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: like Craig did, but normally you're in and out of 195 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: a store in a few minutes and you could have 196 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. What could beat that with their skill levels? Right? So, 197 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: so build me the case that they're going to change 198 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: their behavior without consequences with that serious prison time? How 199 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: how do they change their behavior? They will never You'll 200 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: just get more of it. That makes perfect sense. I'm 201 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: a toss probably to you at home, But then you're 202 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: gonna go out on Tuesday. You may have already voted. 203 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: You're going to vote for some nutball politician who believes 204 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: the opposite, who doesn't think that criminals will keep stealing 205 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: stuff and hurting people if there's no consequences, and if 206 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: you don't lock them up and keep them locked up. 207 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: There's no choice but for people like Craig Cope to 208 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: shoot their arms off. That's all there is to it. 209 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: So we wish him well again. Craig Cope, the owner 210 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: of the Norco Marketing liquor who shot an armed robber 211 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: who came charging into his store back in August, has 212 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: suffered a stroke, and we wish him and his family 213 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: the best. Your chance for some money, a keyword is 214 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: on the way, John and Ken kf I am six 215 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. All right, And 216 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: of course your chances are much better to win the 217 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: money that John just talked about than the dope powerball. 218 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: The prize will now be over one and a half 219 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: billion dollars come the next drawing Saturday night. The Wall 220 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: Street Journal provided us with a few answers in an 221 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: article about the lotteries and focusing, of course on the powerball. 222 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: Here's how Oh and by the way, John, the article 223 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: came with a picture of a crowd lined up outside 224 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: a liquor store in Hawthorne, California. That's what do you 225 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: think that is? Yeah, that's the one. We went there twice, 226 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: Bluebird liquor Store. That's right, we did that twice. We 227 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: did that twice a long time ago. And then not 228 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: so long ago. Okay, I remember, which is the time 229 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: we threw the tickets in the air they all for time, 230 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: which is one of my all time favorite moments. It 231 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: was we sat there and you were trying to figure 232 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: out what to do because we gave they gave us 233 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of free lottery tickets, and you were like, 234 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: let's just throw them in the air and have them 235 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: fight over from what a scramble? It was quite a 236 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: quite a mob scene. Imagine if one of those had 237 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: been the big ticket and it wasn't a billion dollars. 238 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't think so. After I did it, I thought, oh, 239 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: people could have got somebody riot outside. That's right. There 240 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: almost incited a riot. I had no idea what people 241 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: are gonna act like dead for for lottery tickets. Well, 242 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: there are several reasons why these lotteries have grown to 243 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: big numbers, like over a billion dollars. This will be 244 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: the third high ift. If nobody wins Saturday, this is 245 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: going to become the biggest jackpot in mega lottery history. 246 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: This would be the multi state lotteries. Thirty four percent 247 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: of powerball ticket sales fund the big jackpot. Think about 248 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: that now. Another sixteen percent go to the lower tier prizes. 249 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: The other fifty percent goes to various state programs, operating costs, 250 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: and retailer commissions. So yeah, because the guy that sells 251 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: you the ticket, in fact, he called me a ticket, 252 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: said that she could get a million dollars. It was 253 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: the drawing for last night. She said, I get a 254 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: million dollars if I sell the winning ticket at my 255 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: store here. So the you have is to take the 256 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: money in a lump sum, which is what everybody's done. 257 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: The last time anybody took an annuity it was twenty fourteen. 258 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: That's because it's paid out over thirty years, and most 259 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: money managers tell people you can do better with investing this, 260 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: so take the lump sum. So maybe it used to 261 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: be that way. So not this year. I don't know. 262 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: You know, John didn't take a lot of did take 263 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: any finance courses? Present value, future value of money? I 264 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: understand it. You don't have to take a course to 265 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: learn well. I tried to explain this the other day 266 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: and you were flummocks, so I didn't know if I oh, 267 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: I didn't know what you were explaining. I was explaining this. 268 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: In other words, if you decide to take the lump 269 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: sum versus the thirty year thing, they have to figure 270 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: out exactly what the value of that money is today 271 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: present value, you know, versus the thirty years, and that's where, 272 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: of course you have a big drop. It says here 273 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: that the lump sum will be seven hundred and forty 274 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: five million, even though the advertised jackpot is one and 275 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: a half billion. That if you use the lump sum, 276 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: that's the total that you're going to get seven hundred 277 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: and forty five million. And one of the reasons is 278 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: the rising interest rates, because the way they compute this 279 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: is based on you know, the Fed setting the It 280 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: just raised it by another point seven five percentage point increase, 281 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: so the benchmark now sits between three point seven five 282 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: percent and four percent. So in order to reduce the 283 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: money to the present value. For a lump sum, they 284 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: have to take into account that kind of interest rate, 285 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons that the jackpot is bigger. 286 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: But the other reason is that they rejiggered the jack 287 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: potts a few years ago to try to get people 288 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: more interested. Because once and isn't this weird, This is 289 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: actually me when the jackpots cross five hundred million dollars. 290 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: It's probably the only time I play, and it's in 291 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: the story. I looked at me, I said, I can't 292 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: believe that. But apparently, according to research, that affects a 293 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: lot of people. They don't bother until they see five 294 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: hundred million and they go, okay, today, I'll buy a ticket. 295 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: They think it's because it's a nice round, cool number 296 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: of subtracts people. If you do wait until that moment 297 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: and it gets more people attracted, it raises the pot, 298 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: but you're much less likely to win it because more 299 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: people are attracted. Well, the odds of having a winning 300 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: ticket are always the same one in two hundred ninety 301 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: two million, but you are correct. You may have to 302 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: share the prize, so that increases the chances off you're 303 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: having to share the prize when more people buy tickets, 304 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: but it's a bigger pot. So in twenty fifteen, they 305 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: increase the cost of the ticket. I think it was 306 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: it's two dollars. I think it was a dollar. I 307 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: don't remember. And they altered the game to make it 308 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: easier to win the smaller prizes, but that reduced the 309 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: odds of winning the big prize. They did this on 310 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: purpose because there was a beginning to be a waning 311 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: interest in some of these lotteries, so they were trying 312 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: to figure out a way. People I love the big 313 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: prizes of the whole thing's ridiculous to me, I know, 314 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you're odds winning. You're one at 315 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: a two hundred ninety two million count to two hundred 316 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: ninety two million, let's start, see how long it takes. 317 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm just astounding by more than one ticket. John, You see, 318 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: it increases your chances marginal leaving you buy ten tickets. 319 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, only three point eight percent of drawings so 320 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: far this year have had a winner. Back in twenty fourteen, 321 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: it was like eleven percent. So that's why these prizes 322 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 1: keep rolling up to big numbers. And by the end 323 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: of this article. They're saying, well, you know what they're thinking. 324 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: They want to maybe rejigger it so we can get 325 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: two billion dollar prizes to get people even more excited. 326 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: Is that's how it works with human nature to get 327 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: them caught up in a huge because one guy puts 328 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: it in the story. If you want one hundred million, 329 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. It's a lot of money. It's plenty 330 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: of money. I mean, even if it's not one hundred 331 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: million that they pay you for lump sum, it's still 332 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: quite a jackpot. But for some reason, five hundred million 333 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: or more people are people buy tickets. People are numerically 334 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: and mathematically illiterate. Do you know how long it would 335 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: take to count to two hundred ninety two million? If 336 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: you did one count a second, it would take you 337 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: nine years, three months, fifteen hours, six minutes and forty seconds. 338 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: That oh you just computed that. Yeah, so I would 339 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: take you over nine years to count to two hundred 340 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: and ninety two million. But ah, but you know, no, 341 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: you're a smart one. You don't bother. I already bought 342 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: Saturday's tickets.

Leisure World, body else wanted them. I 365 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: guess they're worried about a couple of the races. Yeah, 366 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: I think the Democrats are gonna lose a few seats 367 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: here too. But you know, yeah, but it doesn't see, 368 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's Congress. People are just down to 369 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: Tom mc clintock, the only Republican left in California Congress. 370 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: I forgot what the breakout is. I think I think 371 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: there's no Mike Garcia. There's a there's a few. I 372 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: know there's a few. There's darryl Isa's still there. Yeah, 373 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: but I just look at his book the other day. Ever, 374 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: he signed a book for us, his biography or one 375 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: of his I don't know if I read it. I 376 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: was eleven Republicans. Yeah, there's eleven Republicans. I mean much 377 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: of the central Valleys still Republican. Yeah, you know, half 378 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: Orange County that's probably pretty safe. Yeah, the riverside San Bernardino, 379 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that. I thought I saw a 380 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: story with Newsom was going to show up at appear 381 00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: with him, but uh in Oceanside speaking of Newsome, and 382 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: and you're right to have picked this column out because 383 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: this woman has become what would you call her, the 384 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: dopey rookie, uh, columnist of the year from the Anita Chabri. 385 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: She's she is rookie of the year among empty headed 386 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: progressive costs. Normally it takes a while before we start 387 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: to learn the names and the dopiness of this lady. 388 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: Jennison pretty much right to the top earlier this year 389 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: with a couple of doozies. But this time, you know, 390 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: the big story is and she fell right for the 391 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: trap because it looks like she sat down with Newsome 392 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: in person, and the headline is Newsom rejects every local 393 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: homeless plan in the state, demanding more ambition. This is 394 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: the guy that's been governor since twenty eighteen, you know, 395 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. This is really curious and the empty Anita 396 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: Cilibria or is that how do you say Chabria? She 397 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: she fell for it because the response is you've been 398 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: here for years and in fact um, one of the 399 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: commenters in this story, if you scroll down to the 400 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: comments printed a quote that Newsom had made in two 401 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: thousand and four when he was running for San Francisco 402 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: mayor and he promised he was going to clean up homelessness. 403 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: He says the same thing every election cycle, and nothing 404 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: happens because because now we're talking about eighteen years of 405 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: Newsom in either easy the San Francisco mayor, lieutenant governor, 406 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: now the governor, and everything's gotten worse. But he has 407 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: these brief periods when he's running where he really talks 408 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: a good game. You know, we'll go the buzzwords here 409 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: if need be, I'll be the mayor of California. If 410 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: places can't or won't do it for themselves, we're gonna 411 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: throw down a bit of a gauntlet. It's just full 412 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: of all these buzzwords typical of him, that we're awful 413 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: of bravado and I'm taking charge such bs, I'm taking accountability. 414 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: I love this state. It breaks my heart that people 415 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: are just trashing us. And they talk about how he's 416 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: going to be reviewing plans that cities and counties I 417 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: guess submit to clean up homelessness, and if he doesn't 418 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: like the plans, they're not going to get the money. Yes, 419 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars is supposed to be divided among 420 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: seventy five governments and service providers. But she highlighted one 421 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: applicant that included a partnership among multiple entities, right, probably 422 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: multiple nonprofit entities who were all going to get a 423 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: cut of the tax money. And the application promised not 424 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: to allow homelessness in its area to grow, to grow 425 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: by more than seventy one percent. That's their goal. It's 426 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: a nice interesting number. They pick seventy one percent. No, 427 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: that's to limit the growth rate to seventy one percent. Yes, 428 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 1: I know that's absurd, not to cut it seventy one percent, 429 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: to limit the growth rate to seventy one percent. And 430 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: this is the application to get tax money out of 431 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: NOSM and I looked at that. It's like you've got 432 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: a bulldoze the whole system. Obviously, these are parasites just 433 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: looking to stick their head in the trough. Listen to 434 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: this number. Since the start of the COVID nineteen pandemic, 435 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: the state has provided fifteen billion dollars to cities and 436 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: counties to fight homelessness. But then of course she drops 437 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: the usual and we don't know where they get these stats. 438 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: Through every one person house, two people become homeless in California. 439 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: In the Bay Area it's three by some estimates. Are 440 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: us sure that's not the same person that you think 441 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: you housed and fell back into homelessness. I'm very suspective 442 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: that every time I read it, because that's their excuse 443 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: for saying it's tough. We're making a difference, but more 444 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: and more people fall into homelessness every day. We can't 445 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: keep up. I just don't believe that they fall into 446 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: homelessness or they took a greyhound bus here. How every 447 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: census of homeless people I've seen indicates that a big 448 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: majority came from another state. This is what fries me. 449 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: But you're like, the plans promise to lower unsheltered homelessness 450 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: in the state bike two the next few years. You 451 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't notice that then is ambitious. The whole story is 452 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: about Newsom getting angry that he's going to take over 453 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: this entire process. But even the most optimistic predictions still 454 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: allow that it's going to grow worse, which means everything 455 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: that they plan on doing and all the money they 456 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: plan on spending is going to go to waste. Because 457 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're moving here. They are moving here 458 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: because a normal person, if the rent goes too high 459 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: in the city, you move out of the city, you 460 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: move to a cheaper part of town, or a cheaper 461 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: part of the county, or you move to another state. 462 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: That's what a normal person does. This is nonsense. Now, 463 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: the norm is to not do that and to just 464 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: squat on the corner. And so the whole premise of 465 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: this column is to give Newsom a platform to stand 466 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: and say, Oh, yeah, look what I'm doing. I'm demanding, 467 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm you know. And now he's got this thing I've 468 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: seen three times in a week he throws some variation 469 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: of the word damn in the middle of a tirade 470 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: to show that, you know, I'm being manly. I'm gonna 471 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: mildly swear. I'm gonna show you what a tough guy 472 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: I am. He seems genuinely willing to jump into the 473 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: third rail of politics, taking local control if he has to. 474 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: This is such bs. He's just grandstanding again the way 475 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: he likes to do. We did this story yesterday when 476 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: he ran for governor in twenty eighteen. Oh, I'm gonna 477 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: build three and a half million homes they're gonna get 478 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: built nowhere near that. Now the goal is two and 479 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: a half million. Apparently when asked about the three and 480 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: a half million, well that was aspirational, right, I like 481 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: that word. That's another newsome word. In hardly anything was 482 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: built about thirteen percent of the goal they made. They 483 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: made plans, well, you and I could make plans. I 484 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: could draw up a house, I could draw up an 485 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: apartment building, but they weren't actually built. And again the 486 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: whole premise, why should they be built? Why should people 487 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: come from out of state with their drug addiction and 488 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: mental illness problems? And then I have to pay for 489 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: their new house, particularly if they're going to areas like Venice, 490 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, beach property they get, they get an apartment 491 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: or a house for get out of here. As we've 492 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: been mentioning for quite a while. Now, you give them 493 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: a tent, or you put them in one of those 494 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: stupid Garcetti encampments. They're rejecting that. Now, I want a 495 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: real place to live because my own rules. How about 496 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: we don't negotiate with the insane exactly right, Let alone 497 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: take them seriously, I mean, seriously, these are insane people. 498 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: They're drug addicted or they're mentally ill. I'm not going 499 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: to get into a negotiation over spending five or seven 500 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for their new apartment so that they 501 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: could do what in they're not going to work. There's 502 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: like a level of unreality that is astounding, absolutely astounding. 503 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: We've met a lot of these people. We've done several 504 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: shows from homeless encampments. They're not going to work. They're 505 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: never going to work. Their brains are severely damaged. They 506 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: become very dysfunctional, and what you consider to be a 507 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: norm of going to work and paying for things and 508 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: having a normal life is not in their and they're 509 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: not going to do that. And I so resent everybody 510 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: at the only times they say need a Chabria Gavin Newsom, 511 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: pretending that they're normal people and if we just build 512 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: them a house, everything's going to be okay. No, No, 513 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: they have no right to a house. They have no 514 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: right to our money to build them a house because 515 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: they're never going to work for it. They can't. They're 516 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: not capable. And I don't know why it's so wrong 517 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: to say that these people, the ones, the crazy ones 518 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: in the street, are not capable of working. They're never 519 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: going to earn anything, and we don't owe them anything. Well, 520 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: when we come back speaking in Newsome, because that's where 521 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: he hangs out a lot. Sacramento apparently now has more 522 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: unhoused people than San Francisco. Neither cities that big, but 523 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: that's still kind of shocking. We'll talk about what's going 524 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: on there, John and Ken k I am six forty 525 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app in just minutes, all 526 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: right after Debra's news about fifteen minutes, we're gonna Brian Dallion, 527 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: he's running as the Republican against Gavin Newsom for governor. 528 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: Five o'clock, Rick Caruso running for mayor of LA. We're 529 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: full of candidates today, anybody else we are full of its. 530 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Monday though, will be the hour of candidates at five 531 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: o'clock for those running for I guess lesser known positions 532 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: than mayor and governor. You'll get thirty seconds on the 533 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: show Monday and the five o'clock hour if you run KFI. 534 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: We were just talking about Governor Newsom doing an interview 535 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: of the Dope Yellow Segundo Times columnist about how is 536 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: rejecting a lot of the local plans dealing with trying 537 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: to reduce homelessness. It's not being ambitious enough. We've got 538 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: to do more. I'm gonna put down the gauntlet a 539 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: bit and if I have to take over, I will, 540 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: which is the same thing they said. And it's pointed 541 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: out in the column about building more homes, which apparently 542 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: hasn't gone very well either, And that's because some people 543 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: like their communities as they are. They don't want them 544 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: to grow by double. They don't want big apartment building 545 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: sprouting up in the middle of their town. Ye don't 546 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: want that. And there's always this finger wagging in these 547 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: stories and columns about how everybody says they want to 548 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: help the homeless, but then they all turn into nimbies. 549 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: And every time I look at that, because well, yes, yes, 550 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: or earn your own right to be a nimbi. How's 551 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: that for an answer? That's right. It took most people 552 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: decades to work and save and be able to afford 553 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: a home in southern California. We know what that takes, right. 554 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: They don't hand those out for free. So, yeah, after 555 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: you've worked for twenty years and now you've got a 556 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: family you're taking care of, and you hear that some idiot, 557 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: empty box like Newsom or Garsetti wants to open up 558 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: some kind of homeless shelter in your neighborhood. It's like, no, 559 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, you want to chase him with a shovel. No, 560 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: you're not going to do that. I'm not living that way. 561 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to live that way. I don't have 562 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: to live that way. You go live that way, that 563 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: you're crazy. One place we haven't talked about in California 564 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to homelessness in a while is Sacramento. 565 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: Homelessness has risen seventy percent in that city. In fact, 566 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: at least nine thousand, two hundred and seventy eight people 567 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: are estimated to be without a home majority, of course, 568 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: because this is California, sleep outdoors or cars. This is 569 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: more than San Francisco. According to one of the latest counts, 570 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: they are on levies, near schools, next to busy roads. 571 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: We've talked about that American River where a couple of 572 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: years ago apparently was all full of feces, bacteria. Oh yeah, 573 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: American River Parkway. It was like a toxic waste dump. 574 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: There was so much human boo in it. Yeah, I mean, 575 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: there's a picture here sixty tents pitched us alongside the 576 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: American River. Tawana James is doing her best to comfort 577 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: a friend at the end of her wits. All day. 578 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: The woman says she's been waiting for a caseworker from 579 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: a Sacramento nonprofit to come pick her up and put 580 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: her on a list for a housing a case worker. 581 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, the jack hole who runs Sacramento 582 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: is Darryl Steinberg, who used to run the state Senate. Yes, 583 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: he's another guy, just like just like the slobs here 584 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: in LA who bounced from job to job and legislature 585 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: to city council to county supervisor. Same people bouncing around 586 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: till they get term limited out, complete incompetent. He is absolute, 587 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: total incompetent. Homelessness is more than tripled while he's been mayor. 588 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: Now why Sacramento, I don't know. I guess it's another 589 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: area that just tolerates. That's where all the government officials are. 590 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: And Newsom sees this every day for the last twelve 591 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: years he's worked in Sacramento. Twelve years, he's seen it 592 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: every day. He's done nothing about it, nothing right in 593 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: front of his nose. He's seen thousands and thousands of 594 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: people end up in the street, and then he sits 595 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: in his office and starts pounding his desk and saying, 596 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, we've got to do something about this. Oh, 597 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: there was one quote I wanted to read you from 598 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: that other story. He was yelling at the writers, saying, 599 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: delivered damn results. That's what he's step Yeah, it's a crisis. 600 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: Act like it. Everybody step up. I'm not the mayor. 601 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: You want me to come in, I'll do the job. 602 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: I'll do it happily. I've been going into cities cleaning 603 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: up encampments. Has anyone got a hint? If someone did 604 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: that to me when I was mayor, I'd be like, Okay, 605 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: I got it. He's been going into cities cleaning up encampments. 606 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: Where does that happen? Shows up for the stupid photo 607 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: ops and he cleans up garbage for half an hour 608 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: and it makes the TV all night. Oh, Gavin knew 609 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: some rolled up as sleeves today in downtown Oakland and 610 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: helped just mental homeless encampment again, posting posing, pretending in Sacramento, 611 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: they have a ballot measure measure Oh and it will 612 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: allow well, it will push encampments out of public spaces 613 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: and allow residents harmed by unlawful camping to take legal 614 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: action against the city. Apparently it's been pushed by local 615 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: business leaders. I don't know if Darrel Steinberg's a supporter 616 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: or not, but it's something that the people there, I 617 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: guess they got on the ballot with enough signatures to 618 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: try to take more control of this situation from the 619 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: dopey local politicians, who, as we found out everywhere we go, 620 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: are just in tray and their captive from the activist groups. 621 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: The activist groups are running things just about everywhere, backed 622 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: up by the nonprofits and the whole homeless industrial complex. 623 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: That's why we're stuck where we are. You mentioned the 624 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: word enforcement and they come after you big time. Well, 625 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: and you got to fight them off. You cannot be 626 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: intimidated by these crazy people. They're paid to be crazy. 627 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: They make money with their nonprofits, six figure salaries some 628 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: of these activists make, and they've got all day to 629 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: act crazy and yell at you. You just got to 630 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: tell them to go to go scare themselves. Just give 631 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: them the big f and you. Yeah, I remember there 632 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: was talk. Oh this is a few years ago when 633 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: Newsom actually made Dryl Steinberg the head of another one 634 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: of his task forces on homelessness, and one of their 635 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: first plans was, we have an obligation to find housing 636 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: for people, but they have an obligation to take it. 637 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: And I think at the time everyone was like, all right, well, 638 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: that means just a shelter bed, you see, that's gone now. 639 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: Shelter beds are no good, right, target isn't And we 640 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: don't want any rules and we want private, permanent housing. 641 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: That's all we're going to stand for. Otherwise we're gonna 642 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: sit here in the park, okay until you come up 643 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: with that. So the one thing they absolutely will never 644 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: get is the one thing they're going to insist on, 645 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: or they're going to keep defecating all over the public space. 646 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: That's why you need to tell them to move on 647 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: and get ahold of their lives and change their lives, 648 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: all right. Coming up next, State Senator Brian Day, a Republican, 649 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: is on your ballot for governor against Newsom.
