1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Johns 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: Hopkins University has updated its glossary. It's LGBTQ glossary. It's 4 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: got new inclusive language. Lesbians are no longer referred to 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: as lesbians. They have a new name, a new phrase. 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: This is serious, not making this up. Lesbians are now 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: known as non men attracted to non men. Oh that's 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: a little awkward. Yeah, can you come up with an 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: acronym there to make that to something? And a here's 10 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: the actual definition word lesbian defined as a non man 11 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: attracted to non men, while past definition is referred to 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: lesbian as a woman who's emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: to other women. This updated definition includes non binary people 14 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: who may also identify with the label. Oh, I see, okay, 15 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: so you have men women and then non men. I 16 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: don't see people walking around describing themselves as non men. 17 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: I think this is a fringe element that will go 18 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: out there with LATINX died on the vine, don't you 19 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: think Johns Hopkins that's one of the greatest medical research 20 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: universities in the world. Is it a particular department of 21 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: Johns Hopkins. It is issuing this whole university at school. 22 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: Let me see. Oh they've oh, they've they've removed the 23 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: glossary it was from. It was under the section called 24 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Diversity and Inclusion, Gender and Sexuality Resources, the LGBTQ Glossary, 25 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: and it's now been taken and down. Apparently it did 26 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: not go over It was approved by Paul and Nira, 27 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: the program director of LGBTQ plus Equity and Education as 28 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: a transgender woman. All right, that's a man who's become 29 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: a woman. Works in the university's Office of Diversity, Inclusion 30 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: and Health Equity and shares its sexual orientation and gender 31 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: Identity work group. Oh my good my goodness, that's a 32 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: lot of words. Anyway. Okay, so non men are back 33 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: to being called lesbians. That only lasted a day. We're 34 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: now going to check in on the mayor Bassetti, who 35 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: reappeared today after her about with COVID nineteen John to 36 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: update us on the Inside Safe program to get the 37 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: homeless off the streets Blake Trolley. KFI News did cover 38 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: this event. Lake pretty stunning that the mayor survived COVID. Huh, 39 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone was shocked to see her walking up right. 40 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: One thing that Ken pointed out I heard be for 41 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 2: the break that's true is that they did put a 42 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: huge number out and then when you start, you know, 43 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: reading between the lines on that number, it gets a 44 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: lot more sobering. Today, the mayor gave this update guys 45 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: on the response to homelessness. This was not just inside Safe, 46 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: This was actually a slew of different programs. So far, 47 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: first six months of Basses administration, fourteen thousand, three hundred 48 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: and eighty one people have been housed through different measures. 49 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: But out of those people housed, thirteen hundred forty four 50 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: have been moved into permitted housing, leaving the vast majority 51 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: of people placed into temporary housing. And we'll get into 52 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: this in a minute. There's not a whole lot of 53 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: data on how many people are moved into this temporary 54 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: housing stay in that temporary housing until they're placed into 55 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: permitted housing. The Mayor's Inside Safe program that was part 56 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: of the update today, that's a form of temporary housing, 57 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: has housed thirteen hundred and twenty three people out of 58 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: nineteen encampments. That program is estimated to cost nearly forty 59 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: million dollars. 60 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: By the end of June. 61 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: The mayor touted her red tape cutting, as you remember, 62 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: that was one of her initiatives. She says she's cut 63 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: the approval process for housing down to thirty seven days 64 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: from six months. She says nearly fifteen hundred units have 65 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: been approved and one hundred and forty five projects are 66 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: in an expedited design and construction phase. 67 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: RVs were brought up today. 68 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: The mayor says she plans to ask the city council 69 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: to establish a task force specifically to deal with RVs. 70 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: Well, that'll take care of the problem. I do not 71 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: believe fourteen thousand people were taken off the streets. That's 72 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: a load of houy. That would be a third of 73 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: all the homeless people on the streets, at least the 74 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: forty two thousands. Yeah, that's complete nonsense. 75 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: Well, and that was my point, John, when I had 76 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 2: asked how many people are staying in interim housing, because 77 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: when you tout numbers like that, when you say fourteen 78 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: thousand people, as you just mentioned, that is a huge 79 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 2: chunk out of the homeless population that she campaigned on combating. 80 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: If they're not staying in permanent supportive housing, then you 81 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: really haven't dealt with the issue well, and that was 82 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: a number that we were looking for today, but we 83 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: were told here, I'll go straight to this sound bite. 84 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: This is me and Mercedes Marquez. This is the mayor's 85 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: she's a housing official within the mayor's office. And I'd 86 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: asked that question because I think taxpayers want to know 87 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: how many people are staying off the streets. But he said, 88 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: because I have been to camps before where people go 89 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: to the motel. In one case, I saw a gay 90 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: who came right back to the camp. How many people 91 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: are you putting in interim housing and are then leaving 92 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: that interim housing before being placed into permanent supportive housing. 93 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 3: That is the set of data that this gentleman is 94 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: also referring to the issue of exits, no matter for 95 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: what reason, is the hardest core data nationally to receive, 96 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: because you often don't know. Some people just leave before 97 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 3: you can ask them. The next day they're gone, and 98 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: then they come back. So the issue is understanding what 99 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 3: the rhythm is, how do we count them, how do 100 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: we keep try it is. I have spoken to experts 101 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: across the country, experts, and this seems this seems to 102 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: be the confounding type of documentation across the country and 103 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: very well established programs. 104 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: I think we can say there's not been one motel 105 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: where there's. 106 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: Been mass exits of them. So there's bass touching at 107 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: the end there. But I think that's the big question. 108 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: A lot of people want to know how many people 109 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: are staying off the streets. 110 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: Wait a second, either they're in there at night or 111 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: they're not. But this is not difficult to get the data. 112 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: Just count and see if there's a body in that bed. 113 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 2: Not to mention she's saying she's talked to people across 114 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: the country, and one of my questions is how well 115 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: funded are those homeless programs compared to La LA. He's 116 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: got a lot of money at this so to say, 117 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: you know, to compare us to other parts of the 118 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: country is almost yeah. 119 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: And what are they doing during the day if they 120 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: go in for the night, do they come out during 121 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: the day and they're acting in a menacing manner and 122 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: they're snorting crack and they're snorting meth and then they 123 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: go back to their bed in the shelter at night. 124 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: That really doesn't do anyone much good. I mean, today 125 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: on Venice Boulevard, I saw a gigantic encampment underneath the 126 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: four or five freeway. Huge. There must have been fifty 127 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: people just under the four or five overpass. I mean, 128 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't understand why there's these massive encampments and they 129 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: look bigger than ever. And she's climbing, Well, one third 130 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: are taken off the streets, No, they're not. They may 131 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: go in for a night or an hour or something, 132 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: but the streets are still filled with these crazy people, 133 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: just so full of it. They're also full of it. 134 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: I'm just so sick of this. 135 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: And when she said the other gentleman, she's actually talking 136 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: about another reporter who was essentially looking for a similar number. 137 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 2: Because I get again, when you say you've housed fourteen 138 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: thousand people, the first thing all of us think anybody 139 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: driving around LA is have I actually seen, you know, 140 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: as you mentioned a one third or whatever that would 141 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: equate to, Because there's more than I think a few 142 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: more than forty thousand homeless people. Have we seen that 143 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: sort of reduction in homelessness? It doesn't appear that way 144 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: to me. That's just that's line. But I'm tired, That's 145 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: why we're asking the question. 146 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm tired of people in government trying to fool me 147 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: and tell me what I see with my own eyes 148 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: doesn't exist. I see it with my own eyes. Don't 149 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: tell me it doesn't exist. You're lying to me. Karen 150 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: Bass is lying whatever that other lady is that convoluted answer. Well, 151 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: it's the hardest data set to get is you know, 152 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: actually we shut up? Okay, you go, you go there 153 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: every night and you count them. 154 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: I think another place that we're gonna see some possible 155 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: little political drama in the next few months, guys, is 156 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: the mayor and the city council all centered around her 157 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: Inside Safe program. The only city council has approved two 158 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars to the mayor's program. But 159 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: this is where things may get tricky for Mayor Bass. 160 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 2: The council approved too hundred and fifty million dollars to 161 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 2: inside Safe, but it was structured where they're gonna give 162 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: her sixty five million dollars up front, then they're gonna 163 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 2: release funds as she gives them updates, and they can 164 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: pull funding if they don't like what they're seeing, if 165 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: they don't think this program is performing to their liking. Well, 166 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: if you compare the first hundred days abasa's administration versus 167 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: the second. It seems like she's slowing down the program. 168 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: Hows nine hundred and forty five people in the first 169 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: hundred days. Now with the second hundred days almost approaching, 170 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: she's at three hundred and seventy eight. 171 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: This scam was pulled by Garcetti, and he was called 172 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: out on it by the controller. What was that control? 173 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: Rod Gallprin issue to report, saying Garceetti's numbers were a 174 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: load of crap, that they were just spinning the same 175 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: bodies through over and over again, a night here, a 176 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: night there, a night here, a night there, and then 177 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: counting them, you know, five and ten times over so 178 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: they'd have a big total number. That's what she's doing. 179 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: It's exact. That's why we call her best SETI these 180 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: are the same tried and true tricks that flew most 181 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: of the media. Not you though, obviously that's because we 182 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: have the alarm. 183 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: That's because we have the alarms, right, I don't know 184 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: why we're not playing that. 185 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. Did I think Eric locked up the alarm? 186 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: We haven't heard it in a while. Late. Thank you 187 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: very much for that report. All right, thanks guys, it's 188 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: Blake Trolley was covering the Mayor of Bassetti news event 189 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: today to announce the latest on housing homeless people. You 190 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: know what, I if I watch TV tonight and actually 191 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: some dumb ass TV reporter and there's a lot of 192 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: TV people listen to our show. You run a story 193 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: tonight that says Karen Bash took fourteen thousand people off 194 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: the street. There a precise number. Fourteen thousand, three hundred 195 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: and eighty one people were brought inside through various means. 196 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: How come they have that precise number? But then when 197 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: you ask, well, how many of them are still there, 198 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: it's the hardest thing to cop. Well, you just gave 199 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: us a number, right to the last digit, right, because 200 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: one of the numbers is eight thousand people through loss 201 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: and intakes that set Los Angeles homeless services. That's the 202 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: people that walk around. So you're right, John, just because 203 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: they got they wrote on a ticket, Oh, they agreed 204 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: to go to a shelter, Do we know if they 205 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: stayed in the shelter more than a day. But no, 206 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: they're on the statistic list for they've now got housing. Yeah. 207 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: And by the way, that's what's tricky about this. We're 208 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: not going to know any of this until we see 209 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: it with our own eyes, as you like to say, 210 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: when you actually see. I mean, a few people have 211 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: told us that it's mixed, but the venice has certainly 212 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: gotten better, at least parts of it have. It's still 213 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: got a lot of problems, but eventually, you know, people 214 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: may say that about La or never that they're seeing 215 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: some significant And I drove around to La last weekend 216 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: various parts, but downtown and parts of the valley horrible. 217 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: It's horrible. No, downtown, downtown is horrendous. Why don't they 218 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: clean up downtown? I mean, I mean that that is 219 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: supposed to be twenty years ago, that was a jewel. 220 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: It was this up and coming place where a lot 221 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: of young people who were making there were professionals making 222 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: good money, and they were buying condos and there were 223 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: a lot of really nice restaurants that were opening up. 224 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,719 Speaker 1: And the Staples Center had just recently opened twenty years 225 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: ago that the place was on. Historically, they've always had 226 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: a skid role. It's a dumping ground. That's where a 227 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: lot of homeless are taken right towns and cities that 228 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: don't want them. It was like two blocks, no Yeah, 229 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: now it's all over the She's trying to do the 230 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: freeways downtown. Oh my god, it's Bash and people. Bash 231 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: is lying to the media. Like ARCHETI lied to the media, 232 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: and the media has always amplifies the lies. And that's 233 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: the world we live in. The news from San Francisco 234 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: and San Diego. On the homeless front, Johnny KENKFIM six 235 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 236 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 237 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 238 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: A couple of developments in other cities dealing with homelessness, crime, 239 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: and of course people leaving. Up in San Francisco, was 240 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: announced a while back that Nordstroms was leaving a massive 241 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: mall up there. It's called the San Francisco Center. It's 242 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: in the heart of retail in San Francisco and it's 243 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: big shopping area. People knew that that was probably not 244 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: good news because they were the main tenant there. Well, 245 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: the company that owns that mall, Westfield, is walking away 246 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: from the mortgage. They've told the bank it's yours, We're 247 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: not making any more payments. Five hundred and fifty eight 248 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: million dollar loan securing the property for Westfield. They're done. Now. 249 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: Just last week, two hotels the companies walked away from 250 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: their loans. One was a two thousand room hotel. The 251 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: other was a thousand room hotel. I think it was 252 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty five million dollars. Yeah, they're home 253 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: in the San Francisco Union Square and Park fifty five. 254 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: I think of the two hotels you're talking about, right, 255 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: and I read that there's thirty thirty hotels owned by 256 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: companies that are threatening to walk away from the loans. 257 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: What are some that believe it could never be the 258 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: same there? And of course, like with everything else, the 259 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: argument is, well, it's because there's a lot of remote work. Now, 260 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: it's not the crime and the homelessness. No, it is 261 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: the crime in the homelessness. Because the hotel owners say 262 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: that convention bookings are down very sharply for the next 263 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: five years through twenty twenty seven, so they don't see 264 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: convention business coming to town, and that's what the hotels 265 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: thrive on for part of their revenue. And if there's 266 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: no conventions coming, then no one is going to book 267 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: these rooms because people who work there don't book hotel rooms. 268 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Tourism is way down the whole country has seen how 269 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: disgusting it is. Now down in San Diego where such liars. 270 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Relatively speaking, well when it comes to homelessness, they only 271 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: have three thousand homeless people. Of course, it's a much 272 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: smaller city than Los Angeles, but they've been dealing with 273 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: a big uptech, at least to the way they count 274 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: and their numbers. They have seen a huge in a 275 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: thirty two percent increase in the number of unsheltered homeless 276 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: people in the city of San Diego last year. Thirty 277 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: three hundred people is estimated live outdoors. They are coming 278 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: up with a plan to ban homeless encampments and in 279 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: some areas of the city it doesn't matter if they 280 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: don't have shelter space, So the ordinance is kind of split. 281 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: In certain places they have to have shelter space to 282 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: make you leave. In other places considered public sensitive areas 283 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you have to go whether there's beds not beds. Good perfect. 284 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: But San Diego City Council did that. Huh they're supposed 285 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: to be doing it today. Wow, because they've been pretty 286 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: left wing wacky and oh they happened. I mean the 287 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: mannor down there is Todd Gloria and he's kinda yeah, 288 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: he's a jackass. They I mean, I hate these people. 289 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: I hate them because San Diego is a really fun place, 290 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: and San Diego was probably the most beautiful city I've 291 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: ever seen in the country. And I just resent all 292 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: these filthy progressives and their stupid policies just causing such 293 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: degradation the areas we're talking about. Everything they touched has 294 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: turned into a sore. Two blocks from shelters or schools, 295 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: all city parks, river beds, canyons, waterfronts, and transit hubs. 296 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: If you can't there, you can be removed, even if 297 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: there's no shelter space.

Right Westfield Mall's walking away 337 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: from there, five hundred and fifty eight million dollars mortgage. 338 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: The back end of the article, there's a bunch of 339 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: amazing little facts. Do you know the building that houses 340 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Chronicle, which is a block away from 341 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: the Westfield Mall, has a sixty percent vacancy rate. It 342 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: will have it by the fall, like Yahoo is moving out. 343 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: You think the Chronicle rights all this left wing slop. 344 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: Their own building is going to be sixty percent vacant 345 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: by September. They're going to lose hundreds of millions of 346 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: dollars in the city because of all the businesses that 347 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: have left and tax revenue. There's one office tower called 348 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: four to fifteen Atoma it's ninety seven percent vacant. Foot 349 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: traffic in San Francisco dropped from nine and a half 350 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: million in twenty nineteen to five and a half million. 351 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: Last year, it dropped forty two percent. Wow. Ninety five 352 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: retailers in downtown San Francisco have closed since the start 353 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: of the pandemic. More than fifty percent are gone. City 354 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: has a budget deficit of one point three billion. Now, 355 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: you could make the case that this will finally bring 356 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: down the rents and some of the other so that 357 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: you know, the market system works, and somebody decides to 358 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: move in because it's not as expensive there anymore, it's possible. Well, 359 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: but people have to move back in. Are they going 360 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: to move back in? If it's discussed? So I'm saying 361 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: they'll move back in because it's it's low, the real 362 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: estate rents are low. Yeah, But if they can't get 363 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: shoppers and tourists, is it is it? Is it a 364 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: disaster at any price? Well, I mean we've both been there. 365 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: There aren't homeless and drug addicts everywhere in the city. No, 366 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: but in that area they're just like with LA there 367 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: is parts of LA that still remain nice and west 368 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, to avoid the Westfield mall is only fifty 369 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: five percent least. Other Westfields, on average, are ninety three 370 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: percent least. You know, I thought they're going to turn 371 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: this into homeless housing. Wasn't that the idea, the empty buildings. 372 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: I look at some of the stories about some of 373 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: the crazy people that showed up today with the Trump indictment. 374 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: Some guy put a pig's head on a stick and 375 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: walked around with it. Well, it just says a pig's 376 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: head was plastic a real It just says a pig's head. 377 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: Another guy who's anti Trump dressed up in a prison 378 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: outfit with the stripes and said lock him up. Is 379 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: he the one who jumped in front in front of 380 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: the limits, Yeah, that's him. Yeah, Dominic Santana. He was arrested. 381 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: He tried to block Trump's motorcade from leaving the courthouse. 382 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: He was screaming. He's wearing a little outfit, like a 383 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: prisoner's outfit. I think it's fake. Now I'm looking at 384 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: the picture of the pig's head. Yeah, yeah, it's like 385 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: a big plastic head. It's pretty realistic looking, but I 386 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: think it's fake. You feel bad about pigs too, Otherwise 387 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: that would smell and be bloody and where have you been? 388 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Pigs are hats not bacon? If you missed. One of 389 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: the bigger stories in the last hour, current price. The 390 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: LA City councilman has been charged. This is not an indictment. 391 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: This is the LA County District Attorney's office charging him 392 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: with ten counts of investment, perjury, and conflict of interest 393 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: dealing with his wife and her companies. She was associated 394 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: with another corrupt bag of filth on the Sedding council. 395 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: Fantastic and in Sacramento. We didn't talk about this, but 396 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: today is already June thirteenth. You know that Thursday they're 397 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: supposed to come up with a budget and they have 398 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: that thirty one and a half billion dollar deficit to 399 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: deal with. It's quiet and underreported because they're all Democrats, 400 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: so they're not going to point at each other. And 401 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: yet there are some Republicans up there making noise about 402 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: what should be done. But they're not going to be 403 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: They'll be ignored. That was another Newsomee special from last 404 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: night in Sean Hannity, he was claiming that he's not 405 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: a profligate Democrat profligate, which is his stupid word to 406 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: describe a high spending politician. Well, when you look at 407 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: the stories, because what they have to do is take 408 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: his proposed budget and come up with their own, he's 409 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: correct in a certain sense. For what I'm reading. They 410 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: want to reinstate all the cuts he's been proposing to programs. Now, 411 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: when you have a thirty one and a half billion 412 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: dollar deficit, what are you supposed to do? But well, 413 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: first of all, legally they do have to make the 414 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: cuts unless they want to raise taxes, and they're not 415 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: going to do that because, oh, it looks like they're 416 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: shifting around money. They're taking stuff from reserves, they're taking 417 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: stuff from also other places. That's what I'm seeing here 418 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: in the story. Thing is he went from one hundred 419 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: billion dollar surface surplus to a thirty billion plus deficit deficit. 420 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: How could you say you're not a profligate spender. Of 421 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: course you are. You went from a plus one hundred 422 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: to minus thirty two billion. Well, everything's relative. If this 423 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: crowd and Sacramento had their way, most of them, not 424 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: all of them, holy mackerel, they would have given away 425 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: a lot more money. We'd be in a much bigger 426 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: deficit than we have. Now, so Newsom is only yeah, fiscally, 427 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: what's the word he likes to use, sober? Yeah, only 428 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: in compared to them, compared to this crazy crowd that's 429 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: now ruling Sacramento. Yeah, there's a social net that they'd 430 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: like to drop on this state. You wouldn't believe how 431 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: big it would be. It would cover everybody, all the 432 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: legal aliens, for everything that there is. Of course, they 433 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: still john are pushing for universal health care in California. 434 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of bills still floating around. 435 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: We're going to take a look into them, but basically 436 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: would eliminate private insurance. I am, You're just gonna have 437 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: to be part of the big social experiment with the 438 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: universal healthcare in California last couple of weeks of the year. 439 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: You have to be on the lookout for. See if 440 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: somebody got a weird costly bill that just didn't get 441 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: any news coverage, or they embedded the language of the 442 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: bill inside an unrelated piece of legislation, you know they're 443 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: gutting an end process. Yeah, they do like to do. 444 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: They call them trailer bills, right, trailer bills. These are 445 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: the addendums added to a mazing the little we did 446 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: the trailer bill story a few weeks ago. I get 447 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: what it was, but it was a real sneak attack 448 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: that nobody was aware of. Yeah, oh no, there's no 449 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: public discussion. They don't they don't appear in hearings. The 450 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: news media is too lazy and there's too few reporters now, 451 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: so nobody's covering this stuff. And then suddenly, in the 452 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: last week of June there's all kinds of horrendous, obscene 453 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: things getting passed. Well. Apparently Newsome also wanted to make 454 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: some big cuts two billion dollars to the transportation infrastructure package, 455 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: but this crowd in Sacramento says, no, we need to 456 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: save mass transit systems like BART we've been talking about 457 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco are in there. It's a doom loop there 458 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: that the ridership has not recovered. It was never that 459 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: great to begin with, and they are losing money, so 460 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: they're trying to ask in Sacramento for some bailout money. 461 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: How far down is San Francisco gonna go? Because it 462 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: seems to be spiraling rapidly now. I mean the thirty 463 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: hotel announcement, that's huge, right, the Westfield, This is the 464 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: downtown area, which is, yeah, that's taking a huge hit 465 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: because that's where the workers were, right, but the shopping was. 466 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: But that's a lot of tax revenue. And they're gonna, 467 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna gonna they're gonna be running budget deficits over 468 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: a billion dollars soon, which is a lot for a 469 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: city of San Francisco size, which means they're not going 470 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: to have the money for all their social programs. I 471 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: this this, this is gonna be a Detroit situation very soon. 472 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: Could be. All right, we got more coming up.

It was 490 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: like thirty thirty. That explains a lot. A lot of 491 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: people are surrendering. There was like thirty four percent. We're 492 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: not picking either one of them because they don't want 493 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: to want either one of them. Yeah, so that's you know, 494 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: eleven people will show up. It'll be six to five. 495 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: We'll get s a bill we're going to probably talk 496 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: about more in depth tomorrow. Just want to give you 497 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: a heads up. But listeners have been sending it. We 498 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: got to find out more about it. Assembly Bill nine 499 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: five seven, the TGI Bill, Transgender, Gender Diverse and Intersects 500 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: Youth Empowerment Act. Oh good lord. It already passed the 501 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: state Assembly. They're discussing it in the Senate. One of 502 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: the things in there is that in custody battles, the 503 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: parent that refuses to affirm a child's gender identity could 504 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: be punished, could be considered abusive. That is dangerous. That 505 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: is wrong. That sounds real. That is wrong. Oh you look, children, teenagers, 506 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: they get affected by what's in the culture. And and 507 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: you could have a child who says that he feels female, 508 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: or female says he feels male, and it doesn't mean 509 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: he is. It means in that moment. I mean, you know, 510 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: suicide is contagious. There's suicide clusters in school. Uh, anorexia 511 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: is contagious. There's a whole emotional mental component to some 512 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: of these things. And nobody knows for sure. But they've 513 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: slapped on this word affirming care. And if you don't 514 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: participate in affirming care, then we're going to take away 515 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: your kid. That is wrong. No, no time, that dangerous 516 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: word gender affirming, gender affirming, that's what that's too, that's too. Absolutely, 517 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: I look at it. They haven't done the research. They 518 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. It's a very fluid situation. 519 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean, when you're really young like that. And then 520 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: to deny a parent custody because he thinks there's something 521 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: inappropriate about the treatment his kid is getting. Oh no, no, no, no, 522 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: you know what, and they're gonna wonder why. There's a 523 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: really really strong blowback stuff like this, can't do this stuff. 524 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: Your dish is getting into dangerous territory. And now the 525 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: opposite end of this, in Orange County, police are looking 526 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: for a guy that apparently sexually assaulted a woman sort 527 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: of in a crosswalk.

They were like shots for 538 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: three different angles and they got a clear shot of 539 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: his face. University. There's probably lots of surveillance cameras because 540 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: there's so much that can go on in a college. 541 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,239 Speaker 1: Somebody must have recognized him. It was two, I mean, 542 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: couldn't help him Selfie had there.

Don't doubt they know each other, 546 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: but don't know any more than that on the story. Yeah, 547 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: just uh, I wonder I wonder what drug he was 548 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: whipped up on. Yeah, you do, because that rarely happens, 549 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, out in public like that in daylight. Right, 550 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: he must have been out of his mind on something. 551 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: Conway has just walked in the room.

Yeah, we usually try to dominate that 558 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: that space. LA seems to be into fires. 559 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 5: I remember, Yeah, Well you need you need burners, jumpers, runners, breakers, 560 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 5: and car flippers. 561 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: You need five ingredient categories.

Yeah, it's 570 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: yours said to the bank. I guess they imagine how 571 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: many years did they put payments into that? They're just 572 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: walking away? 573 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, well they still a five hundred and thirty eight 574 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 5: million dollars on that loan. 575 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: Must be a massively expensive it's the toes you go 576 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: up many floors, Yeah, exactly, this is exactly right. Yeah, 577 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: ignores them on every floor.

Now they've got buildings that they're not going 580 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: to be able to rent out or sell at a 581 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: decent price. Two hotels, yeah, how does it? How long 582 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: does it?
