1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Well, by the way, I oh, Jerry Lee Lewis is alive. 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Did we establish that he's made it through another hour? Okay, 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: that's good too. Eighty seven and were reported dead by 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: TMZ a few hours ago. Retracted dug up see somewhere 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: in Tennessee alive, duck up, I was wrong yesterday when 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: I urged you to get a powerball ticket. It was 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: a Monday. I said it was eight hundred million. It 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: was it. It's but it's seven hundred million tonight, John 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: the jack seven hundred million tonight, the fifth largest ever. 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: Uh huh. But this is what I like. It shows 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: you the cost of inflation fighting. The jack pot. Lump 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: sum payout option, which is what most people take, is 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: now three hundred and thirty six million, less than two 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: months ago. The payout would have been closer to four 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million. So that's a difference of seventy 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: seven million due to the interest rates being driven up 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: by the FED. Because that's how it's computed, the lump sum. 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: They can take what they do, they calculate present value 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: and give you the lump some amount and it does 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: factor in the industrates. So yeah, it's just kind of weird. 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't quite follow that, but all right, I know 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: now sounds like sounds fishing. I'll trust that. Well, you 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: should research sometimes how they compute the lumps. Some payod option, 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: because if you take the like the annuity over time, 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: I forget how many years it is. So you have 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: to kind of crunch that back to if you give 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the person that much money today, how much would it 28 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: be in like today's dollars and stuff like that. How 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: much is a ticket? It's two dollars a ticket, two dollars. 30 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep my I bought five, No, I 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: bought ten of them for twenty dollars. That's twenty dollars 32 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: that the state has. Now the state and all the 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: other states. Everybody's a lot of states involved in powerable 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: and the winner. But it won't be you. No, not 35 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna be me. Speaking of inflation, this is pretty good. Today. 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 1: Joe Biden came out and went on a rant about 37 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: junk fees. Doubt we're all familiar with banks, airlines companies. Well, 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: that's oh and hidden hotel booking fees, termination fees, and 39 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: cable charge, water and electric bills. The hidden fees. Oh, 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: oh god, there's a long list of If you look 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: at your actual bill, they're not hidden. I mean, just 42 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: read your bills. But there I know, but they're they're 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: not explained. They're not explained about. You could call up 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: and complain and kids to explain them. Complaining is going 45 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: to get them to rescind the fees. But apparently the 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: media was a bit shocked to the reporters when the 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: President talked about the airlines and he said this, airlines, 48 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: if you want six more inches between you and the 49 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: seat in front of you, you pay more money, but 50 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: you don't know it until a purchase your ticket. Look, folks, 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: these are junk fees. They're unfair, they're hidden. Marginalized Americans 52 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: are hardest, especially low income folks and people of color. 53 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense at all. No, anybody that's 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: booked an airline ticket knows. If you want more leg room, 55 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: you can do that when you buy the ticket online. 56 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: But it gives you the price actual leg room. It's 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: got you've done that. I heard you talk about that 58 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: a few months ago. Yeah, but it's got nothing to 59 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: do with your income status or your color. Well, what 60 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: he's saying is that if you are of a lower 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: income status. It hits you harder because it's a bigger 62 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: bite out of your right Well, you're pavings and you're 63 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: you're paying for Look the way they have it set 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: up now is you pay for space on the plane. 65 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: If you want to see it with more space, you 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: got to pay a higher rent. And my point is 67 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: it's not hidden. No fact, some reporters tweeted out a joke. 68 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: It's like, any time I want to get more legroom, 69 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: I can see it right there to purchase it. They 70 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: offer you a menu they do. There's like multiple there's 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: a map of the plane when you go to pick 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: your seats and you can just put the put your 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: mouth over the ones with more leg room, and you 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: see the extra dollars they're going to charge and it's 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: thirty nine plus twenty plus something. It's really annoying. I 76 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: may I understand this feeling that you know there's like 77 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: a bait and switch going on because you see you 78 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: see a price on the menu. When you finally get 79 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: to buy the ticket, then all the good seats are extra. 80 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: If you want to seat up close, you want a 81 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: seat on the aisle, you want a seat with more legroom. 82 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: Everything is and sometimes the chargers are hefty. Sometimes it's 83 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: nextra eighty nine dollars. Some of this came out of 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: the fact that remember, years ago, the airlines used to 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: advertise a fair, but they didn't conclude the fees and 86 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: the taxes and all that stuff. So people who govern it, oh, 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars, why don't they go? And then when 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: they start to book the ticket they see the final price. 89 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: What do you mean eighty nine dollars? What happened? That's 90 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines. And then well they were told they couldn't 91 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: do that anymore, that they have to give you a 92 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: price that is the pretty much the bottom line price. 93 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: These fees were talking about, though, those are those are 94 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: voluntary if you want to choose you know, the extra 95 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: leg room or whatever, or you want to sit in 96 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: the front of the plane or well, but again it's 97 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: got upgrade. It's upgrade, they call it. It's no discrimination 98 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: against people of color. I know, that's as I said. 99 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: Reporters were scratching their heads, even progressive reporters. Understand. You know, everyone, 100 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: I stopped scratching your heads. The guy is senile, all right, 101 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, does anybody have seen ever honestly, do any 102 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: of these reporters, have they ever had senile relatives? Have 103 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: they ever tried to keep track of their mom, dad, 104 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: or grandparents? When when they started going down the slide. 105 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,679 Speaker 1: You got gibberish every day, you got all kinds of crazy, 106 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: irrational statements. One one guy tweeted out, things are looking 107 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: pretty bad for Democrats. But will the message of airlines 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: charging extra for more leg room hurts minorities turn things around? Yeah, 109 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: that's a rallying point. Yeah, this is it. This is 110 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: the thing I think that's over shadows all of this. 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: This was his speech on trying to help people with inflation. 112 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: This is what they came up with today. They're go 113 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: out there and talk about junk fees and go after 114 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: those terrible banks and airlines. I've never seen it will 115 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: really ring with people. I've never seen a crew that 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: deserves more of a shlacking than this Biden crowd. The 117 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: real problem with the airline flights is jet fuel. The 118 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: price of jet fuel has exploded. I think it's doubled 119 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: over the last year or two. That that that's the issue. 120 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: All the other price increases trail from the jet fuel 121 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: getting out of control. Yeah, so I you know, he's 122 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: just awful. I mean he really. In any other situation, 123 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: if he was running any kind of corporation, he would 124 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: be he would be fired, he'd be forced to retire. 125 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: Only in politics, can you be this much of a 126 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: public boob day after day after day, and all the 127 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: stupid ass kissing reporters going, we're kind of scratching our 128 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: heads up. We don't really understand the statement. It's like, 129 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: did you stop covering for him? Everything is covering covering 130 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: Biden senility, covering Fetterman stroke problems. Well, really, you're that 131 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: married to your political ideology, your your your political party, 132 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: You're that embedded inside the cult that you can't even 133 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: speak the obvious truth about their health problems. He studied, 134 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: ranting at one point about parents selling a used child's 135 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: bike for thirty dollars in the end getting hit with 136 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: a fifteen dollar bank fee when the buyer's check bounces. Well, 137 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: I agree, that's a little unfair, but it's just kind 138 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: of silly. He's really drilling down here, isn't he. That 139 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: was an example he provided today. Well, hey, luck, you know, 140 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: he's president. If he wants to go out there and 141 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: say stupid stuff every day, nobody's gonna stop him, I guess. Yeah. 142 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: And I have to say this didn't really this particular 143 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: inflation appearance didn't really make big news anywhere. So no, 144 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: and I'm glad he's coming Actually, I'm glad he's coming 145 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: out because this is we all ought to know just 146 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: how far god he is. We have some audio apparently 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: at the end. I don't know if it was this event. 148 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: It may have been. He doesn't want to take reporters 149 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: questions that they're shouting at him. Let's listen. It sounds 150 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: like little kids and play. It does like a lunch room. Yeah, 151 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: I am read somewhere and I can't tell here that 152 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: he was mimicking them. Yes, that's what I read too, 153 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: and then he walked away. It sound assoni. And the 154 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: thing is they can't get any information out of him, 155 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: at least none that makes any sense, and they never 156 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: go after the real issues. But my reporter said, I 157 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: have to get a question in, so I'm gonna yell 158 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: louder than the other reporters. But it's never on the 159 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: stuff people care about. It's never on the stuff that 160 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: really challenges all the stupid policies and the stupid results 161 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: and the stupid things they say. Oh I heard a 162 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: good one that that batty press secretary they have. Now, 163 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: what's your name, Pierre Pierre? You know that fake issue 164 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: they made up about George's of voter suppression laws. Yes, 165 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this the other day. Oh yeah, 166 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: there's been a big turnout of voting is way off 167 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: the charts, beyond what anybody ever thought could happen. For 168 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: for for Democrats have a big Senate race, a big 169 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: governor's race, Democrats, Republicans, white people, black people, you name it. 170 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: Everybody's voting. Okay, So there was no suppression, zero suppression. 171 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: And a reporter asked her about it, and she actually 172 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: claimed and I sort of god, I heard this with 173 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: my own ears, that you can have voter suppression and 174 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: record turnout at the same time. Yeah, that doesn't make it. 175 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: He said, this is what we had running the country, 176 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: all right. When we return, first thing you'll hear is 177 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: John say it's time for that keyword as your chance 178 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: at some inflation bonus money, and then we'll give the 179 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: instructions as to how to get it. John and Ken 180 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio Act. Well, 181 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: We haven't talked about the Russian Ukraine in a while, 182 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: have we. The development this week is looks like another 183 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: piece of strategy from the mastermind, Vladimir Putin, and that 184 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: is and what do they call it, like a false flag, 185 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: That is to try to say Ukraine may be trying 186 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: to explode a dirty bomb on us, They may be 187 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: the first to use radioactive material. Of course, nobody says 188 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: there's any truth to this, but in his own country, 189 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: Putin can say whatever he wants. And he's now trying 190 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: to portray the United States as using Ukraine as a 191 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: testing ground as to how to get to Russia, in 192 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: other words, a testing ground for military biological experiments. So 193 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: he's trying to say that Ukraine, with the help of 194 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: the United States, may be planning to deploy a dirty bomb. 195 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: A dirty bomb uses explosives to scatter radioactive waste to 196 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: terrorize people. This would be his way of saying, we 197 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: see they're gonna do this, and we've better act first. 198 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: We are preemptively because we have clear evidence that they're 199 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: gonna try to detonate a dirty bomb, or we just 200 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: have to. So that may be what he's planning. Well, 201 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: he blusters like this, you know, every few weeks, and 202 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: he's always got some different wild claim to make. Yes, 203 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's claimed that the Ukrainians or Nazis unleashed 204 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: dirty bomb. I forgot what other sins that they were committing. 205 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: It's all to justify his big attack, except he ends 206 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: up never really doing anything. Uh, you know, he just 207 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: he just makes a lot of noise. Slovenia has gotten involved. 208 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: Russia is engaging in a disinformation campaign about the dirty bombs. 209 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: They're using a twenty ten photo from the European Unions 210 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: Countries Agency for Radioactive Waste titled Duke's Capacities to create 211 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: the Dirty Bomb. The photo shows bags containing smoke detectors 212 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: bearing inscriptions in Slovenia reading Radioactivo or Radioactive. The Slovenian 213 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: government sensor detectors contain a radioactive source, but it isn't 214 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: one of those listed below the photo in the Russian 215 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: Foreign Ministry release. The only audience that he can impress 216 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: with this stuff is the home audience, you know, the 217 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: ignorant and the true believers in Russia. I don't know 218 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: how well they've they've capped real news from getting into Russia. Yeah, 219 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: it sounds like the rebellion has quieted down. Though, Remember 220 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: all the guys that didn't want to serve in the 221 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: military and relieve in the country, and people just can't 222 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: keep the This is why I'm always suspect of long 223 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: running protests because in truce, in truth, human nature can 224 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: only sustain a rage and outrage for so long. Eventually 225 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: everyone gets tired and then gets used to the new situation. Yeah. Well, 226 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: the big example that that kind of disproves that was 227 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: the Vietnam War that started and continued and built and 228 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: eventually got us to withdraw. Yeah, but but it took 229 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: it took not took years. Right, but you say the 230 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: easy people give up anticipate, whereas that that actually it 231 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: took a long time. But it grew with Yeah, of 232 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: course you see bodies coming back, it did, but yeah, 233 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: there was something feeding it is There was sixty thousand 234 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: dead bodies returned to the United States. Well, what are 235 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: the Russians. The Russians are creating the bodies allogically, right. 236 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: The people aren't seeing it. The families are just not 237 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: getting their sons back. People, you know, their sons don't 238 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: come home, right, So, but I mean, and during that 239 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: time television veloped too, they had better ways of covering 240 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: the war. The war went from a grainy black and 241 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: white film to you know, color video, and it got 242 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: more and more real, and the death became more and 243 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: more real. Yeah, and eventually, after nine years worth of lies, 244 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: the government couldn't hide anymore because the Guard government was 245 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: lying to us all along about much of the purpose 246 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: of that war. If you're wondering what it's like for 247 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: civilians in that country, there's a story here about a 248 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: southern port city called Micolave. Micolave in Ukraine, and the 249 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: only distribution for food there allows each person to receive 250 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: free bread once every three days, and a lot of 251 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: people have to walk long distances. One woman they interviewed 252 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: to sevent year old, said bread and canned food is 253 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: all I eat. It's almost winter ready. It's terrifying. Basically, 254 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: she just cooks, washes every evening, heads to a small 255 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: makeshift sleeping area in the basement with family members. She's 256 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: been doing that every night since the war began in 257 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: late February. But but they do it, don't they They adapt, 258 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: It becomes the new way of life. Yeah, they still 259 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: believe if they can weather this eventually Russia will be drawn. 260 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: They can get their back to their normal life. And 261 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: all the sanctions didn't stop Putin apparently, not not after 262 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: this many months any not enough. He found plenty of 263 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: places to sell his oil. Oh yeah, he's got big 264 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: economies like India and China. Yeah right, so, oh yeah, 265 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: big customers. You know, us not buying his oil had 266 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: no effect. None of the sanctions had any effect. And 267 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: Putin doesn't care if it does have an effect because 268 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: the population is not rebelling, not in any great numbers. 269 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: And after it's like the North Koreans. That guy doesn't 270 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: care in that country starving to death, So go ahead 271 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: with your sends. Those are the secrets that a dictator 272 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: learns that after a while, people will follow along. They'll 273 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: just nod their head, go along with a great leader, 274 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: and some people will start It's almost like that Stockholm syndrome. 275 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: You start supporting the guy and you end up with 276 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: a huge loyal base. That's you know, that's the way 277 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: human nature is. All right, when we come back. What 278 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: a story in one of the West Side publications that 279 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: children on the West Side are suffering or experiencing PTSD 280 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: because of their encounters with the homeless on Mike Bonnen's 281 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: West Side. This is from a publication called The west 282 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Side Current. We'll talk about it, John and Ken KF 283 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Well, 284 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: we do invite public comment. It's called the Moist Line. 285 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: You can get to it by using the iHeartRadio app. 286 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: Just look for the microphone icon to leave a messager 287 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: called the toll free number one eight seven seven Moist 288 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: eighty six one eight seven seven six six four seven 289 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: eight eight six one more keyword coming at about five twenty. 290 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: That'll do it for the day here on KFI. So 291 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: be listening for the keyword and the instructions to possibly 292 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: win some cash. You know what's shocking about this story 293 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: in the west Side Current, which is a local west Side, 294 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: LA news service. It's the first time I've seen an 295 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: article on this, and it's something I thought about a lot, 296 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: and yet I can't remember any media outlet covering this. 297 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: The headline is west Side Children experiencing PTSD from trauma 298 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: caused by Bonnin's dangerous homeless policies. And it goes through 299 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: and talks and interviews families who are telling stories of 300 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: what their children are experiencing. It starts out by talking 301 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: about the Lunn family. This is on the West Side. 302 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: They purchased a home in twenty twenty. They thought it 303 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: would be perfect. It was just down the street from 304 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: a park. Their six year old could play with other kids. 305 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: They were nearby grocery stores. Then the dream became a 306 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: nightmare when a one hundred person encampment sprouted directly across 307 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: the street from their new home. Imagine that, She Lunn. 308 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: The mother said they would be fires and screaming, constant 309 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: fights all hours of the day. Our family was in 310 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: survival mode. In September twenty twenty alone, more than twenty 311 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: calls about fires were received by the LA Fire Department. 312 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: Neighbors in the area said that break ins, drug deals, 313 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: violent fights, and ironic behavior tied to the encampment were 314 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: a constant. One parents said her kids were so fearful 315 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: they started sleeping with baseball bats. Is that not heartbreaking? 316 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: My stomach is My stomach is sick. You can't say 317 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: if this is it. I hate to say, you gotta go, 318 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: but you gotta go. Yeah, good luck selling your house. 319 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: We reached out to Mike Bonden for help. She said, 320 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: we would reach out to his office only to get 321 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: the run around or they never answered us. So the 322 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: encampment would be there for almost a year. And you 323 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: know what, this makes me sick. And you know I've 324 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: screamed a bonding for years and years now, but that's 325 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 1: what I resented about him playing, playing, doing his victim 326 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: routine with his tears, Mary Martinez said, and about you know, 327 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: the suffering it was going to cause his son, And 328 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: I could only think, it's like, my god, so many 329 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: children have suffered so much because of your policies, and 330 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: you never gave them a moment, not them or their parents. 331 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: You traumatize these children. And finally there's a story about it. 332 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: Of course, you'd never read this in the Elsagunda Times. No. 333 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: This woman says that after a year, the encampment went away, 334 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: but her daughter still has nightmares. This is why they're 335 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: calling it PTSD. She freezes in fear when she sees 336 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: someone homeless. She calls them zombies. This has been deeply 337 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: traumatizing for her. It's just hard to see your child 338 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: go through this. They leave town every weekend to visit 339 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: the kid's grandparents and enjoy. What she says is some 340 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: normalcy for the family. But it's just two nights and 341 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: then they come back relating this spawning and may he 342 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: rot in hell allowed this to go on for a year. 343 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: But the woman's poor daughter was hiding under the bed 344 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: every night, too afraid to go to sleep. Can you 345 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: imagine that? And you know, I'm I'm amazed that the 346 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: parents in the neighborhood didn't take more action other than 347 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: calling I mean you again. This is where you really 348 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: have to take take some some serious action. You have 349 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: to physically go to their offices. You have to do 350 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: what all the other activists encounter doing. You have to 351 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: make these people, I mean did this. Bonna never feared 352 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: for his career during this entire time. That's what that's 353 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: what shocked me. He never feared at all that that 354 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: anybody was going to votehim out of office. Well, there 355 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: were two recall attempts, but but he continued with his policies. 356 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: He didn't change them. He never feared that they'd be successful, 357 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: and they weren't. They were not. But he did finally 358 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: decide not to run again because people were probably sounding 359 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: off to him various forms, right, but Eric took it 360 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: took eight over eight years Eric, who wished to use 361 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: only his first name. He's the father of an now 362 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: twelve year old. The January twenty twenty lockdown at his 363 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: son's school was activated after a client at the Safe 364 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: Place for Youth located next to the school started wielding 365 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: a chain and smashing windows near the school and threatening people. 366 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: There were helicopters. For a year, my son would freeze 367 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: when he heard a helicopter. The sound retriggers that every 368 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: day a young girl was so frightened she could no 369 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: longer go back into the classroom. You know, look at 370 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: the language used though. This was I guess some kind 371 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: of facility for homeless people, the Safe Place for youth. Yeah, 372 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: that's what they call it. For homeless. He's a client, 373 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: a client at the Safe Place for Youth, not like 374 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: a meth addict, a craze, schizophrenic, a lunatic transient, A 375 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: client at the Safe Place. The euphemisms will make me gag. 376 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: Justine said that her daughter was traumatized. She was chased 377 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: by a homeless man when she got picked up from school. 378 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: It was horrible. She's had nightmares. We see a homeless 379 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: person and she grips my hands. She's living it and 380 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: thinking someone will break in right, and nobody, nobody in 381 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: government would would stop, would do anything about the terror 382 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: that these poor children were feeling. Mary says her daughter 383 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: was impacted after seeing the body of a man who 384 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: died from an overdose at an encampment across the street 385 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: from her school. Wow. We had been reaching out to 386 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: Mike Bonden for help to remove the encampment before the 387 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: body was discovered, but they wouldn't respond. A few days 388 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: after the body was discovered, an RV parked across from 389 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: the school burned while Mary was picking up her daughter. 390 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: There is a text that they provided as an example 391 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: from a daughter to her mother, Mom, there's someone outside 392 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: of our house, totally crazy. They're blocking the street. Please 393 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: can be moved to a new city. And the mother's 394 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: response was I'm watching him through the window, not so 395 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: he can see me, though, are you okay? I imagine 396 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: living like this, This would be worse than being in 397 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: Ukraine all bombed by the Russians. All of the parents 398 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: say they don't understand why Bonnen continues to ignore their 399 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: please because he's cruel. He's a cruel, vicious man, he's 400 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: a psychopath. It doesn't care about your suffering or your 401 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: kids suffering. In June, the Los Angeles City Council approved 402 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: an ordinance banning homeless encampments within five hundred feet of schools. 403 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: Bonnen casted the one vote against the motion, saying it 404 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: would just move the homeless around, and this dope that 405 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: might replace some Aaron Darling, Oh yeah, Bonnen, two point 406 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: oh yeah, do that vote for Tracy Park. Listen to 407 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: a voter guide, but it's worth bringing up again. Listen 408 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: to this erin Darling. He really is a double talking jackass. 409 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm the father of a three year old, so I 410 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: feel that my child's safety is the most essential thing 411 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: in the world. And I remember growing up in Venice 412 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties sing encampments and it's intense. 413 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: But Darling has said he will not enforce the city's 414 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: anti camping laws, just as Bonden pledged, of course, and 415 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: he thinks a recent clearing of an encampment at the 416 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: APO Kinney Library was premature. So you people on the 417 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: West Side, you've got this race between Darling and Tracy Park. 418 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: Darling's on the record he's not going to enforce the 419 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: anti camping laws to get rid of encampments next to schools. No, 420 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: he's he thinks the one that they cleared out of 421 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: the library was wrong. And Tracy Park obviously is going 422 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: to clean out those encampments. So what do you want? 423 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: You want Tracy Park cleaning out encampments in front of 424 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: schools or Aaron Darling refusing to I can't imagine why 425 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: any same person would vote for Aaron Darling knowing that 426 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: he has promised not to do anything about it. He's 427 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: going to continue the Boden policies with a second psycho. Yeah, 428 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: I know it's a closed race. I hope she pulls 429 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: it out all right. When we come back along the 430 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: same lines. There used to be a day when the 431 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: library was a place to know to go, read books, 432 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: check out books. It's quite different now in La County. 433 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: Johnny ken KF I am six forty live everywhere on 434 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app Okay five o'clock hour.

It's the money. Follow 438 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: the money. It's more than I even realize it is 439 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: when you consider all of the elements of their pay, 440 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: they get into that they're the highest paid city council 441 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: people in the country. Can you believe that room full 442 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: of clowns are better paid than any other room full 443 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: of clowns in the country. Don't forget pensions and all 444 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: the like. Wow, we'll give you the breakout after the 445 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: news at five o'clock and the latest the city clouncil. 446 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: Gotti interrupted again today and they made a couple of 447 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: dope symbolic moves that's coming up in the five o'clock hour. 448 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, there used to be a time. Well, we've 449 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: been talking about the homeless and public spaces have been 450 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: taken over. It's largely public parks. That's been a big 451 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: element of what's been lost to homeless encampments. The other 452 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: big public place that is really sinking into the west 453 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: literally because we all the throw this west the libraries. 454 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: We talked about how in Long Beach they've temporarily closed 455 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: the library because of quote security concerns. What's going on 456 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: in La County is a couple of things. But their 457 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: latest move was to start supplying the libraries with narcan. 458 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: That's to revive p bull who have been hit with 459 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: a drug overdose. Now you think about that, Why when 460 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: you traditionally remember what a library is and what happens there. 461 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: People go there to read books, maybe to study, to research. Yeah, 462 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: when you were a kid, Now I can how many 463 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: people had a drug overdose in your library growing up? 464 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: Never heard of it? Inconceivable, absolutely unimaginable. When you're growing up, 465 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: it was mostly s s. Yeah. Yeah, you couldn't talk 466 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: in libraries. Now you can shoot up heroin, you can ode, 467 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: and the librarian will be there to revive you. How 468 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: does it become their job? I don't even understand that. 469 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: But nobody, none of the librarians say no, we're not 470 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: going to enable this behavior anymore. It's bad enough. These 471 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: guys come in, they have their overdoses, they sit at computers, 472 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: they download porn, they start pleasuring themselves in front of 473 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: the kids. But the librarians never say enough. But god forbid, 474 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: when we were kids and you made you talk too 475 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: much in the library, well that would get them pissed off. 476 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: Like what happened? What happened to those sweet, sweet elderly 477 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: women who are librarians. Now it's like anything goes have 478 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: you have your fentnail, have your heroine, have your meth. 479 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: From this progressive movement where we accept the drug use 480 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: and we just want to stand by and see if 481 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: we can save your life. But go ahead, use all 482 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: the drugs you need to use. In fact, here are 483 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: some needles. Now we have narcan to revive you. Well, 484 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: you talk about enabling and giving up. This is what 485 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: I keep saying so far all week on this show. 486 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: We've normalized this behavior and now we're trying to play 487 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: at the edges to manage it. But nah, never never 488 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: go against it. Never enforce anything against and not homelessness, 489 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: not drug use. We'll just we'll live. We'll stand nearby 490 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: and see if we can't help you when you really 491 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: fall flat. So there there's some person named sky Patrick, 492 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: the La County Library director. I don't know if that's 493 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: a man or a woman. Oh, it's it's a she, okay, 494 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: sky Patrick. Patrick explained that libraries have expanded their roles 495 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: in the last decade to provide summer lunches to children 496 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: and groceries to families in need, as well as offering 497 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: up libraries for heating and cooling centers. You know, all 498 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: of that is a long way away from enabling crazed, 499 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts by giving them an arcam treatment. I mean, 500 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: for goodness sakes, giving little kids lunches. It's not like 501 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: giving some derelict drug addict. And all you have to 502 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,239 Speaker 1: do is use your fingers and thumbs to push the 503 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: nozzle and spray the medication into the nostrils, and you 504 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: may have saved a life. Yes, so we could come 505 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: back to far down this has come, so we could 506 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: come back tomorrow and do it again. Not to save 507 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: the life, and then they're put way into a treatment center. No, 508 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: they'll be back at the library and then they know 509 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: they can they can overdose again and the librarian will 510 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: come waddling over and give them another head an arcan. 511 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: Oh and what do you know? This is done in 512 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: cities like San Francisco and Philadelphia and Denver. Sure not surprising. 513 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: All the good stuff comes from those cities. The companion 514 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: story to this, which is a little less serious, is 515 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: that there was a press release this week from the 516 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: county and actually I found a story from earlier this 517 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: year that the libraries are also going to be a 518 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: place where you can get hygiene products. A convenience store 519 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: of pharmacy. If you want to get tampons and diapers, yes, 520 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: they're giving them out at the county libraries. Why can't 521 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: you go to rouse because they don't have any money. 522 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: This is free. They don't have any money, This is free. Why, Well, 523 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: they don't make enough money to buy the essentials. Why 524 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: would you? And you have to choose between food and rent? 525 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 1: But why libraries? Well, but don't they don't. They've got 526 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: all kinds of charities and government agencies that handle this 527 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Oh, look who's behind it. Chillakuele, Oh, 528 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Sheilla cuele. Oh. They also want to use county museums 529 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: and cultural venues as other places they want to hand 530 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: out the products what they want to turn. There's not 531 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: going to be a sanctuary anymore. You can't go anywhere. 532 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: You can't go to a library, museum, or a cultural 533 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: center without dealing with what people coming in demanding hygiene 534 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: products because they don't want to work for a living. 535 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: People demanding narcan before they drop dead of an overdose. 536 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: That's going to be everywhere now, every public place you go. 537 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: You can't go for peace and quiet and art and 538 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: culture anywhere become a social services agent.
