Oh, thank you so much. 51 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: You know, Honestly, you guys are dealing with the national 52 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: environment and the national environment so frustrating sometimes that I 53 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: think I have in some ways a little bit easier, 54 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: Like I get to deal with local stuff, and change 55 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: feels real here, it feels totally possible. Yeah, we've been 56 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: talking kind of intermittently about how tired we are just 57 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: pointing out the problems and how much we want to, 58 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, give our listeners ideas for how to do something, 59 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: and you know, have I come up with ideas of 60 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: our own of how to do things, And it really 61 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: seems getting involved locally. Uh. We keep coming back to 62 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: that as as the thing that is tangible, that you 63 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: can do. So we're really excited. I feel like what 64 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: you're doing does speak to the national condition. Yeah, and 65 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 1: somebody was asking me yesterday, like we for listeners who 66 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: don't know about l A politics, it has not been 67 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: a place where a lot of people have even voted, 68 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: never mind getting involved. And in our campaign, we've been 69 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: really lucky to have tons of volunteers. I mean people 70 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: were out in the heat wave this past weekend dropping 71 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: off bags of lit and things like that for the 72 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: campaign in the heat, masked and gloved and everything. And 73 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: yesterday I was on a call and someone said, how 74 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: do you get so many volunteers? And I honestly think 75 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: it's just a relief for people. It's like they look 76 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: at this national what's happening at the national level, just 77 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: the colossal failure on so many issues, and I think 78 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: it's just it's like, oh, I get to go have 79 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: a conversation with my neighbor and tell them it can 80 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: be better. I mean, they're not doing that during COVID that, 81 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: you know, unless it's over the phone. But but it's yeah, 82 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a relief. It is a relief, 83 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, I really encourage people to do 84 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: it in their own places, and if you're in l A, 85 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: get involved with our campaign. Absolutely. And I think it's 86 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: the other thing too, is that it's not it's like 87 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: it's a relief. And it's also like this relief in 88 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: from like what the tone of our politics are. Like 89 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: you are You're not like some big d democrat like 90 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: you run on. I've been saying this, You're like a 91 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: person of purpose. You're not a politician. You are being 92 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: driven by a purpose. And I think that is what 93 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: I think like the most universal language I think we've seen, 94 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: because suddenly people are like, yes, that's right. There are 95 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: people who are you know, need help and I'm in 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: a position to help, or we can do better, or 97 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: we can ask more of our officials. And that's really 98 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: resonating versus like we gotta get Donald Trump out of 99 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: here and Chuck Schumer should be running the Center's like no, no, no, okay, 100 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: that that that's one version of reality. But like here 101 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: like yeah, right, but yeah in this sense, you know, 102 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: every from the second your name started bubbling up as 103 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: like a candidate for cbfour, I was like, this is 104 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: this is the kinds of people like we this is 105 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: the this is the tone that our politics needs to 106 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: head in, where it's it's really tied to the humanity 107 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: and treating each other with dignity. Yeah, and I think 108 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: like city for I'm an urban planner. I've done a 109 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: lot of work on you know, urban poverty issues, and 110 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: I don't want to run for anything else. This is 111 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: my dream. This is part of my work that I've 112 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: been doing in l A on urban poverty, on homelessness. 113 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: This is like the next step in that. But I 114 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: don't see it as a stepping stone to other things, honestly, 115 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: just because I find that stuff just less interesting. Like me, 116 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: I love thinking about cities. I love talking about cities. 117 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: I love working at the city level. But I think 118 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: one of the problems that we have is that everyone 119 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: is so cynical because they're all in it for forty years. 120 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: They're they're going from city council to Assembly, to state 121 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: Senate to Congress. You know, even the person I'm running against. 122 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: A year after he got into the seat, he thought 123 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: about running for Congress. It's like, well, like, let's do 124 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: this job. This city matters, It should matter, it should 125 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: be your biggest priority, you know. But my dad's real estate. 126 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: My dad's real estate empire is at stake, though, so 127 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: I think this is the best way to help relieve 128 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: the pressure as if I get into the House representatives. 129 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna David Rude of the Laundry List up 130 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: top this episode because I don't want to put you 131 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: in that position, but I think he might have to. 132 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: You might have to join join the Tucker Carlson's We're 133 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: here for Nthia. You know what, We're here for sure, 134 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: even if we're not in the district. And I really 135 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: encourage people like it's like the one bright light in 136 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: l A politics at the moment. You guys are so kind. 137 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm so happy to be here. No, I mean just 138 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just as grateful to see people like you 139 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: know this is you, like you know your ship and 140 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: you are saying I know enough to do better. It 141 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: looks like the people who can do better are either 142 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: not interested or not able. So what is going on? 143 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: Because I see is a lot of pain and suffering 144 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: out there, and for whatever reason, these people are fine 145 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: because they can, you know, turn their blinders onto the 146 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: suffering in the streets and you couldn't. And that's really 147 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: like the most like one of the purest forms to 148 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: like engage in and to to you know, be an 149 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: ally for people who don't have any support. So yes, 150 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: thank you. And you know, I encourage anybody who like 151 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: feels they they're looking at their own city or a 152 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: situation like this, don't be bashful about it. Like if 153 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: you have a vision in your heart is in the 154 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: right place, like you damn sure better explore that because 155 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who don't care. Yeah, 156 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: can I say one thing to your listeners. I don't 157 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: know what your demographics of your listeners are, but I 158 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: you know, I'm thirty nine now. When I was when 159 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: I first ran, I decided to run, I was thirty 160 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: eight years old. It took me thirty eight years to 161 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: step up. And I just want to tell all your 162 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: listeners you don't have to wait that long, you know. 163 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: I hope you find the courage to do it before 164 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: I did. It took me a long time just because 165 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: I didn't see models for that in my own life necessarily, 166 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't see a lot of women of 167 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: color who were like me, who were in office and 168 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: things like that, so it wasn't my thing.

Well, I you guys told 200 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: me that I was gonna have to talk about something 201 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: I was overrated and underrated. Yes, so my you know, 202 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: I all I've been doing recently is watching things I've 203 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: already watched before because my mind is unable to process 204 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: new things just because of the I think the immensity 205 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: of everything that's happening in the world. I can only 206 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: turn to the familiar, like reruns of old TV shows, 207 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: movies I've already seen. And so Aaron Brockovitch was on 208 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: that list, and I was like, well, who wrote this masterpiece? Yeah? 209 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: Who is it? Who's Whosanna Grant? I can't remember it. Yeah, 210 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: I had to look it up as well.

Yeah, yeah, 213 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: um Aaron Brockovich. Also, it sounds like it could be 214 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: a Russian novel, maybe except for the errand part, but yeah, 215 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: that sounds like, yeah, spin off of the Americans. That's right. 216 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Matthew, Well, so 217 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: I've been on this old movie kick and recently I 218 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: watched Sleepless in Seattle, which is amazing, and I basically 219 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: wept from the beginning of it till the end of it. 220 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: It's so sweet, so beautiful, structure of it is amazing. 221 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: And then I watched You've Got Mail, thinking I would 222 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: get more of the same, and I was sorely disappointed. 223 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: That's also Nora Efferent right, Yes, it was the follow up. Yeah, 224 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: giving you given, given the people what they want, I mean, 225 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: that was all. It's so confusing, like when you actually 226 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: think of like what Meg Ryan's arc is as a 227 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: business owner and her relationship to Tom Hanks and the 228 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: Fox Empire, and said, it's like, yeah, you know what, dude, 229 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're like edging me out. I 230 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: love you, right, Yeah, that's true the whole this man 231 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: is coming for your business. You've already identified Fox Books 232 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: as the destroyer of independent bookstores, and now even though 233 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: there's all the subterfuge, you still love him and he 234 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: lies to her yeah constantly. Yeah, yes, Like the capitalism issues, 235 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: the issues with the business politics of it are really weird, right, 236 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: Jim Barnes and Noble and I would like to put 237 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: your why does this little boy keep spelling Fox in 238 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: front of me? Oh? Man, I can't know where part 239 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: of Fox Books? And then also like the dad has 240 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: like all the wild young like partners and things. It's 241 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing. I was like, Wow, this is something creepy. 242 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: But then but I think the more the more troubling 243 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: thing is that he lies to her for the entire 244 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: movie or you know, and then she's like, okay, cool, yes, 245 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm very into this to that part where she says 246 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: I wanted it to be you like that sticks in 247 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: my mind because I always remember like my stomach thinking 248 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: a little bit and just being like why yeah, Well, Also, 249 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: letn't not forget a stellar performance by Dave Chappelle as 250 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: like the friend Dave Chappelle, what is I watched it, 251 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: I think recently in the last two years or something, 252 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: because I was sort of on a similar kick of 253 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: like just kind of regressing and watching these nineties rom coms, 254 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: and I was just like, like, and Greg and year 255 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: was didn't he sucked in his Wasn't his character weird too? 256 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: In that I just remember not being very moved by 257 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: anyone on second viewing. So yeah, I mean even in 258 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: Sleepless in Seattle, there was some weird politics around the 259 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: partners that they had, Like who I forget who was 260 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: the guy who played her partner, Meg Ryan's partner that 261 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: she amicably Bill Pullman right, and his like fatal flaw 262 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: was that he had a lot of allergies. Door l dork, 263 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: get out of here. Like she introduces him to her 264 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: family and he sneezes, and you're like, this is faded 265 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: to end? What a loser? Like she's too nice, that's 266 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: his other thing. Like at the end, she's like I 267 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: gotta go see about this guy I've never met, and 268 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: he's like, do it. I want this for you. Uh yeah, 269 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: well I didn't realize You've got mail. Is based on 270 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: a book called The Perfumery. Yeah. It's also funny that 271 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: it's just like that very edge of the Internet being 272 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: discovered type of optimism that this is all going to 273 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: be great. Uh, anonymity on in personal relationships is gonna 274 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: be great and will in no way lead to uh, 275 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: men being horrifying to women and lying to them and 276 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: stalking them. So that should be a fun premise for 277 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: rom com. Yeah, guy's gas light in this woman her 278 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: whole entire business is at stake, and he's like, I 279 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: destroyed it and he gets her in the end.

You're gonna love this. 281 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: But it makes sense that that was the most successful 282 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: of the Nora fron movies because it is like America 283 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: wins in the end, like the version of America that 284 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: people had in the nineties wins.

And then the other one is a 332 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: restaurant called out Lock, which is in downtown l A. 333 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: It's a vegan restaurant and a lot of their foods 334 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: are raw and they make this raw uh raw soup 335 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: which is called I think it's called. It has like 336 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: spirolina in it. It has it's just the most incredible. 337 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: I've never tasted anything like it. So good. Yeah, it 338 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: sounds good. Uh. And finally, what is a myth? What 339 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: something people think it is true? You know to be false? Okay, 340 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: well here can I say something serious for this one? Okay? Well, um, 341 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: So one of the questions I get most in my 342 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: campaign is about unhoused people, about people experiencing homelessness. And 343 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people say, oh, I hear from folks 344 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: that or I think a lot of people who are 345 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: homeless don't want a house, that they are that they 346 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: are to unquote service resistant, which is a term that 347 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: you hear in the papers and said that they don't 348 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: want services, that they don't want to get into, a 349 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 1: shelter bed that they don't want to get in. And 350 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: I feel like that that is the biggest myth that 351 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: we hear on the campaign trail, and I'm always talking 352 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: about ways in which I can prove to you that 353 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: that's wrong, and that if we actually made beds available, 354 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: if we've made housing available, if we made sure people 355 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: were able to stay in their house, we would not 356 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: be in the situation that we're in in Los Angeles. 357 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: This is not about resistance. This is about lack of 358 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: provision of services and of tenant protections. That's it is 359 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: that myth kind of born out of like a very 360 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: narrow thing, and then that sort of became the overarching 361 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: theme in terms of like how unhoused communities are looked at. 362 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: Or is it is it just a very disingenuous attack 363 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: from like the people who are like the Nimbi folks, 364 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: or I don't know, and I you know, I don't 365 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: think so, or for the most part, I don't think so. 366 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 1: I think, of course there's always people who are you know, 367 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: saying this in bad faith, But I think for the 368 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: most part, people have just seen a homelessness crisis that 369 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: has only grown in there in especially in the last 370 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: few years. Right like our on house population here in 371 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: l A has gone up by seventy eight percent since 372 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: right It's just like staggering the amount of growth. And 373 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: I think people see um individuals living in encampments in 374 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: their neighborhood that they've seen for years, and they just 375 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: get into this thing of Okay, well they don't want 376 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: to go inside. You know, I'm sure that I'm paying 377 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: all these taxes for homeless services. They must be getting 378 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: the help that they need, and they're saying no, when 379 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: in reality that's so not the case. And you know, 380 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: one fact I always share with people, which I feel 381 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: like really really makes people step back, is you know, 382 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: New York City has a larger population of of people 383 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: who are homeless right, um, but so many fewer people 384 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: who live on the streets because they have the number 385 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: of shelter beds that they need for every person experiencing 386 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: homelessness in New York. That's part of a court case 387 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: that was in the City of New York that forces 388 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: them to do that. And so because of that, you 389 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: just see much less visible homelessness. And so when you 390 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: tell people that, you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. And 391 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: l A has less than a quarter of the shelter 392 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: beds that we need. So a big part of why 393 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: people are on the streets and continue to be on 394 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: the streets, it's because they don't have a place to go. 395 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: And so I think that really it really helps to 396 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: open up the conversation about not about anger towards people 397 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: who are living on the streets, but anger towards the 398 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: city that's done wrong by them, of course, but by 399 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: all of us. You know, Yeah, that's so deeply American 400 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: to blame the individual rather than the system, Like that 401 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: just seems to be the way the story that Americans 402 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: want to tell ourselves. Yeah, so they're sort of like 403 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: the worst rhetorical habit we have when engaging in an 404 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: issue like that. It's almost like like the normally you'd 405 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, what's wrong with them? And what is 406 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: the conditions in which this occurred? Because that is actually 407 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: more important than Hey, what's your story? Do you like 408 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: living on the street? To know there's there's a whole 409 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: path that got there. They got there, and a number 410 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: of failures occurred on along the way to end up there, 411 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, we just have this lack of 412 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: wanting to like say our parents are shitty or something 413 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: that like that the politicians or the country could be better, 414 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: and then it's better to be like, well, it's got 415 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: to be them because I'm doing okay, and so that's 416 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: it's not the system because I'm okay in it. Yeah, 417 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: And I just want to say one thing about Americans, 418 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: which is this is not an immutable fact about Americans, right, 419 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: because the campaign has been so successful at pushing back 420 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: on that, and I feel like people want to push 421 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: back on that. They want to believe the best about 422 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: other humans, and I think they want to be able 423 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: to respond to this issue and every other issue with 424 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: with compassion. Most people do. And I think if you 425 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: tell them we have failed in providing evidence based compassionate 426 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: solution is here in Los Angeles, but we can, They're like, oh, yes, okay, perfect, 427 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: let's do that. You know they don't want to be 428 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: They don't. I don't. I mean, I wouldn't be doing 429 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: this if I I didn't believe that most people felt 430 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: that way, you know. Yeah, I feel like we've seen 431 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: things metastasize like seeing some of these beliefs that have 432 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: been kind of core to the American ethos just metastasized 433 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: so badly. And also there's sort of a disconnect with 434 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: younger people and you know, millennials and gen z that 435 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: I am really hopeful that that is going to be 436 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,719 Speaker 1: a relic of the past, that that idea of like 437 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: individualism and the idea that socialism is like a bad word. 438 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be 439 00:24:48,600 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: right back. And we're bad and uh, let's check in 440 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: with the r n c. Uh media loves them some Milania. 441 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean, look, look, pick your poison. It was either 442 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: people either talking about the numerous Hatch Act violations or 443 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: Milannia Trump. Uh. It's so I can't believe how badly 444 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: the mainstream media wants to like Milannia Trump. Like It's 445 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: so bizarre to me because on one hand, I think 446 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: we all remember her, I don't care really like trench 447 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: coat that she wore when she was going to the border. Um. 448 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: But yet when she goes and makes a speech and 449 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: just because there weren't any racial slurs or plagiarism, that 450 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: suddenly were like, oh, yes, we found the moral center. 451 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: The moral heartbeat of this country. Uh, it was really 452 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: surreal m because it truly everything she said was quite 453 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: a like absolutely the bare minimum of what you could 454 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: say as someone who's in a position and of power 455 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: amidst a pandemic when hundreds of thousands of lives are 456 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: being lost. Right, I wonder And and the other thing 457 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: was the flagrant Hatch Act violations. I just it seems 458 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: like this is a feature of their plan and not 459 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: a bug, right, Like this is the idea is to 460 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: break the law in a way that is distracting and 461 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: gets the media outraged, because trolling the media is the 462 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: whole game. Now, I feel like sure, I mean, yeah, 463 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: the the you know, um Mark Meadows, the chief of 464 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: Staff that he's like, you know, honestly, nobody outside the 465 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: Beltway cares about the Hatch Act, Like really it's really nothing. 466 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a non issue. And really then the 467 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: whole idea behind the Hatch Act is that you're not 468 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: allowed to use government resources in like a partisan political 469 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: campaign or election context, Like that's what you have a 470 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: campaign fundraising arm for, so you're not using taxpayer money 471 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: to boost your chances at re election. That's the whole 472 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: point here, or using your position office to help and 473 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, an elected official or someone who's running. So yeah, 474 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: but again I guess because the Trump thing has they're 475 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: trying to make it be like no one cares. You see. 476 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: It's like no, no, no, because that's the slippery slope 477 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: you want to go down where no one cares, and 478 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: you can begin to blur these lines of like, well, 479 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: what's actually you know, well, how is this system being 480 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: taken advantage of? And how is it not right? Sometimes 481 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: I feel like the media does plays both sides of 482 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: this too, you know, like they get really upset about 483 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: the Hatch Act, but then they also complained that they 484 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: can't write about the Hatch Act because we don't care 485 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: about the Hatch Act and violations. And you know, so 486 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: sometimes I get a little bit frustrated to watching all 487 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: of this because I think will make us care, tell 488 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: us why this is important, tell us why the stakes 489 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: are high? You know, right, we're like, oh, that's that's 490 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: the old school media. We don't we just kind of 491 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: tell you what happened these days. I could go that 492 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: far to help you. Yeah, don't do that right now, 493 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: that's not the time for that it's it's it's really fresh. 494 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you had Mike Pompeo 495 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: literally beaming in from Israel to give his speech about 496 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: how King Trump has won the Isis war and you know, 497 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: loved Kim Jong lun so hard he may be in 498 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: a coma right now. They like it. The whole thing 499 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: was so hollow. And I keep using that word because 500 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: it's really just these empty sort of bullet point checklist 501 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: thing they go down and when you think about it, 502 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: like I don't work for Raytheon like that, that accomplishment 503 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: doesn't help me. I'm not an arms dealer. I'm not 504 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: part of the military industrial complex or the prison industrial complex. 505 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't benefit from these like reforms quote unquote. But again, 506 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: it's just to get this drum going of like this 507 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: is the leader. Don't worry about how bad the last 508 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: four years are because he's macho. And it's yeah, but 509 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: I guess it's it seems to be there their whole 510 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: entire strategy now. So that that brings us to some 511 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: recent polling, both like some specific polls they came out, 512 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: but also just pulling averages that you know, uses that 513 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: that suggests Trump's position is improving, that Biden didn't really 514 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: get a convention bounce, and that now it's a closer race. 515 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: And I find myself like unhealthily addicted to checking the ship. 516 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: But ntea as somebody who's actively running, Like, how, what 517 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: how do you think about polls? Well? So, uh, you know, 518 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: in the primary, we couldn't really even afford polling, so 519 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: we had no we had no polls. Right. I know 520 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: the person I'm running against did some polls, but a 521 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: lot of the polling that's done it in races. You know, 522 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: obviously at the at the federal level it's really different. 523 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: But at the local level, it's about messaging, right, It's 524 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: about what lands with what audience. So should I be 525 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: talking about this issue in this way? So you're actually 526 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: polling not an outcome, but what you're policies should be. 527 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: And so for me, it's like, to me, polls are 528 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: really unhelpful because if you're running because you want to 529 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: change things, if you're running because you want to see 530 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: particular policies put out into the into the world, that's 531 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: what you should be focusing on, right And and uh, 532 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: and I do think that talking about the issues, like 533 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: talking about this horse race between Trump and Biden, Like, 534 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: what if we just kept talking about the fact that 535 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: we're not getting that six dollars anymore? That expanded U 536 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't we just win the wouldn't the Democrats just 537 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: win the election? We're like, we're gonna wait, We're gonna 538 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: give you six hundred dollars if we win, right, Like 539 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: Trump had a shot and he actually knocked that benefit down, 540 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: so he took it away from me exactly. And it's 541 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: just like, who who cares about these numbers? I don't 542 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: know that's but that's just how But I think that's 543 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: the difference in between this new generation of politicians who 544 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: are entering, which is again most old school. Like when 545 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: I was working in politics, you would look at polls 546 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: and be like you would say something like, well, the 547 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, Affordable Care Act isn't polling well, like maybe 548 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: we need to we need to change tax based on 549 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: all this research we're doing. But it's again, you're if 550 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: you're being dissuaded by the polling, now you've completely lost 551 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: your sense of purpose, which is give the people the 552 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: ability to have health insurance they can afford um. And yeah, 553 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: there there are moments where we find ourselves. Like at 554 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day, sometimes the intent really has 555 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: to sort of be the overarching theme. But again with 556 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: this pulling, it's to your point of like it helps 557 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: you fiate dial in your messaging. I think it's clear 558 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: what the Trump campaign is saying is that, like, hey man, 559 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: let's just go pedal the metal, white supremacy, xenophobia, every 560 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: phobia out there. Because that seems depending on the audience. 561 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: I'll talk to suburban housewives in this way, I will 562 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: talk to working people this way. But it seems like 563 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: it's all coming from the same putred buffete, putred buffet. 564 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: I love that favorite, my favorite kind of and they're 565 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: going for seconds and they're going for thirds now eventually, 566 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about Wisconsin. You know we we've 567 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: talked before on this show about this sort of fantasy 568 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: of you know, protect your property with firearms. You know, 569 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: they'll they'll even go out of their way to uh 570 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: make fake memes that suggest looting is a problem after hurricanes, 571 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: as we talked about, the media will focus specifically on 572 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: any property damage that happens during peaceful protests. You don't 573 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: have to talk about white supremacy thing. You don't have 574 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: to talk about white supremacy, and it seems to have 575 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: killed two people. In Wisconsin last night there were reports 576 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: of armed civilians, like armed militia who explicitly showed up 577 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: to protect you know, like gas stations in their in 578 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: their neighborhood, and one of them started shooting protesters. And 579 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: it was captured on on video. The person is jogging 580 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: down the middle of the street with a assault rifle 581 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: and people are trying he had apparently at that point 582 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: had shot someone and been heard on his phone saying 583 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: I just killed someone. Uh. Then he's jogging down the street. 584 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: People come up trend disarm him. He shoots them, uh, 585 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: and then runs up to the police with his hands 586 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: up and it's like they're they're like, what are you doing? Man? Wait, 587 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: you're good, you can go along. Waved him off, walked 588 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: off into the night, and it wasn't apprehended. Um. The contrast, 589 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, like within that city, do you have a 590 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: black man with no gun with his back turned when 591 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: he has shot seven you know, he's now we find 592 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: out he survived, but he may not be able to walk. Um, 593 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: And you have somebody out here is just straight up 594 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: killing people and the just could walk right through the 595 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: police with protesters saying that man just shot someone, that 596 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: guy with the gun shot someone, and he can just 597 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: take off like kaisersels. It's I mean, you know, it 598 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: really is. This is this this really morbid rhythm of 599 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: this country. And yeah, and it keeps intensifying, you know, 600 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: and it's of course we have there there's just like 601 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: NonStop drumbeat, especially if you're like a on the right 602 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: wing of like these people are coming to tear the 603 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: cities down, and all they can do is narrowly use 604 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: this footage of people outraged, not because they're there to 605 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: tear your city down, but because of generations of mistreatment 606 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: is now manifesting into these protests and these uprisings and 607 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: things like that, and it's just used to sort of 608 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: to your point, Jack, just do this thing where the 609 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: one context where Americans are like, well, I could shoot 610 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: anybody if it's in the private property, like I can 611 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: use my private property defense. And that is like that 612 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: one arena that is really this weird thing where there's 613 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: people on top of the businesses. The cops are like, hey, 614 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: like you have guns up there, get inside, what are 615 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: you doing? And they're like officer this is our business 616 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: and the cops are like, okay, carry on, then what 617 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: did that? So you know, it's a really terrible cycle, 618 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: Nitthia for you and I've heard you speak about this, 619 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: and especially like when a city like l A that 620 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: is just given the cash away to the sheriff's department 621 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: in the police department. Um, you know, the whole idea 622 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: of the defund the police. It's it. It had a 623 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: sort of a moment where people were sincerely engaging with 624 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: this discourse, this idea of how to actually better fund 625 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: our communities. But um, you know, looking at this and 626 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: seeing like what the essentially with the kind of climate 627 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: you'd be walking into as a city council member, you know, 628 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: what do you think are sort of like the highest 629 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: priority in terms of sort of like this de escalation 630 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: with a police force that just brutalizes the poor and 631 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: you know on white Well, you know, one thing I 632 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 1: want to say is that we we don't have we 633 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: we're not seeing, at least in l A this kind 634 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: of paramilitary force. So you know, this kind of thing. 635 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: So I think it's a very different situation here. But 636 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 1: for me, a big part of thinking about policing here 637 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles is thinking about how our police are 638 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: doing things that they were never supposed to be doing. 639 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: So here in l A, a lot of what is 640 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: the primary interaction between, for example, our on house population 641 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: and our city ends up being the police. Uh. And 642 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: that's how we set up the system to function. In fact, 643 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 1: when I worked at city Hall briefly a few few 644 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: years ago, UM, I found that almost of the spending 645 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: that we were doing on homelessness at the time was 646 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: spent on putting on housed people in jail right instead 647 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: of actually providing people care. And that we had created 648 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: a system through which l A p was are always 649 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: our first responders for homelessness, even when there was no violence. 650 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: In fact, most of the time it's not a violent 651 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 1: call for service. UM. And that's not just true related 652 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: to homelessness. That's true across police calls for service, not 653 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: just in l A but across the country. And yet 654 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: in response to these calls for service, we were always 655 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: sending police who were not trained to address the root 656 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 1: cause of why someone would be drinking in public or 657 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: having a shopping cart, or would or would have a 658 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: tent up during the day, which is that they don't 659 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: have a home and so if we had set up 660 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: a system through which we were actually sending people out 661 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: who were trained to do outreach, to do homelessness response, 662 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: to do any of that stuff, then we would have 663 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: a very very different system here in Los Angeles. And 664 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think we would we wouldn't need this 665 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: the police to take up so much of our budget 666 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: because we would be spending on systems of care that 667 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: actually addressed the root cause of the issues for which 668 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: people we're calling the police about. Yeah, so I think 669 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: that's really the priority in l A going forward, because 670 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: what's the statistic in the county of actual like sort 671 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: of crisis intervention social worker type people we have that 672 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: we can send to calls like that, isn't it something 673 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: like under twenty or something like Well, so when I 674 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: worked at the city, we had invested in a total 675 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: of nineteen outreach workers for the entire city and county together, right, 676 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: And that's to do sort of the work you're talking about, 677 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: is to say, rather than sending a police officer, call 678 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: this person who can approach them understand the human being 679 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: they're dealing with, rather than the nuisance or guy who's 680 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: drunk in my alley or whatever. To actually address that 681 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: nineteen Yeah, and I think now we have more, but 682 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: we still have a system that's primarily oriented around punishment 683 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: and policing as opposed to care. And I think we 684 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: can really push it in a much better direction. And 685 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: we should. I mean, it's not just it's not just 686 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: about a moral issue. It's also like, this is what 687 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: is going to work to end homelessness? Sufficient Yeah, when 688 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: you look at specifically the Jacob Blake incident where he 689 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: had stopped to try to de escalate a conflict between 690 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: two people and then the cops came in and somebody 691 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: ended up getting shot seven times. That de escalation that like, 692 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, acting as a mediator in your own community 693 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 1: like that, that's what we should be trying to have 694 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: people like have resources that can do that, as opposed 695 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: to calling somebody with a gun to come in and 696 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: you know, cause absolute havoc and end up, you know, 697 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: trying to murder somebody. All right, let's take another break 698 00:39:51,840 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back, and it's 699 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: time to check in with that whole COVID thing, the 700 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 1: global pandemic. Do you remember that story from a couple 701 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Do was that before after Hunter Biden 702 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: and Ukrainium one, I get all of the things that 703 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: they tell me on the on Fox. I guess it's 704 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: so confusing, you know, it's it's pretty clear. I think 705 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: all the common or all the accepted research around it 706 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: is that you know, if people with who can get 707 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, it can cause completely asymptomatic infections. There are 708 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: people who can have it, carry it and do not 709 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: have any symptoms, and actually and they can spread it 710 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 1: to other people, and some people can still spread before 711 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: they show symptoms. So pre symptomatic transmission is also a 712 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: just studied phenomenon, proven thing about COVID, and a lot 713 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: of the modeling that we've seen says that like pre 714 00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: symptomatic transmission could in fact behalf or even more of 715 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: a lot of the spread that's happening. So when the 716 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: CDC comes out and says that they are no longer 717 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: essentially recommending that people who have been maybe possibly exposed 718 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: to COVID but aren't showing symptoms, actually you don't need 719 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: to get tested. It turns out if you don't have symptoms, 720 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: and you may have been exposed and you're not showing symptoms, 721 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. They changed the complement and on 722 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: August twenty two, this is what the CDC website said. 723 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: It said, quote testing is recommended for all close contacts 724 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: of persons with stars covy to infection because of the 725 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: potential for asymptomatic and presymptomatic transmission. It is important that 726 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: contacts of individuals with stars covey to infection be quickly 727 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: identified and tested. Suddenly they've completely scrapped that, all that 728 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: language is gone and everyone because it's just they're giving 729 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: up on containment or are they just they want their 730 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 1: numbers to be in a better possession heading into the election. 731 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have There are some 732 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: people have said, look, this is clearly coming from the president, 733 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, there's no why would people 734 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: people of I mean, prior to this the CDC, you 735 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: could bet that they were, you know, learned people of 736 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: science who would be let their research guide what their 737 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: decision making is. But because this slowdown of the government, 738 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: because they're unwilling to actually address the situation, and there 739 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: are things like let's just like get rid of all 740 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: the testing stuff so people can least go out for 741 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,959 Speaker 1: a little bit. The economy we can get a quick 742 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: jump and then we'll probably shut shipped back down. Um. 743 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: But with this, you know, the one of the administrators 744 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 1: at Health and Human Services, Uh, they were like, why 745 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: are you telling us about the c d C s 746 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: like recommendations, And they were just saying like, look, it's 747 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: not it's this. It's just that this, all of this 748 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: decision came from public health experts to the c d 749 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: C UM and there was no direction from the President, 750 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: the vice president, or any other administration official. And I 751 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are having a really hard 752 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,879 Speaker 1: time believing that because it's not even like saying that, 753 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, the sort of very narrow logic is that 754 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: they're The reason that they didn't want to have testing 755 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: for people with without symptoms was so that way they 756 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 1: didn't avoid testing too early after an exposure. That way 757 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: there could be a negative result before the infection actually 758 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: had enough time to develop, etcetera, etcetera. But either way, 759 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,720 Speaker 1: just continue testing no matter what is just I should 760 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: be a feature of how we get a handle on 761 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: this the spread of this illness. UM. And yeah, again 762 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: they haven't really even established what a timeline would look 763 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: like for asymptomatic testing after an exposure, and they're kind 764 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 1: of also just leave that language, like, well, you know, 765 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 1: if your city or your state or local county like 766 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: needs it, then I guess you can test. But like 767 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: we're saying, you know, it's up to you. M hm cool. Well, 768 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: look perfect timing because now we're opening schools, so perfect 769 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: timing to not test people who have been exposed to 770 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: the disease so that we can just let let that spread, 771 00:43:56,040 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 1: Let the disease spread a symptomatically among a group who 772 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,360 Speaker 1: is most likely to you know, have it without showing symptoms. 773 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: I feel like here, you know, here in l A. 774 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: Even I feel like, you know, California did better with 775 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: this stuff. You know, you you read this stuff from 776 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: the CDC and you think, oh my gosh, is the 777 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: Trump administration interfering with CDC advice? But even in l A, 778 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: I feel like we've had changes in guidance being given 779 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: to us, changes in the reopening schedule, changes in how 780 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: you know what what we're supposed to be doing, with 781 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: really no acknowledgement of the fact that we this is 782 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: what we thought before. Here's what led us to make 783 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: these changes, and here's how we can operate under our 784 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: better information going forward in ways that make more sense. 785 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: And I feel like if at every level of government, 786 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean, of course the federal government, you know, I 787 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: don't even know what they're but at every level of government, 788 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: I feel like the same kind of Uh. It feels 789 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: like we're being gasolt sometimes with the instructions that we're 790 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: getting about about COVID and about what we're supposed to 791 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: be doing. And I feel like if they were just 792 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more transparent with us about here's how 793 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: things have changed, here's what here's the new advice that 794 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: we have for you. Because just like very like bulletin, 795 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: like and here are your instructions going forward. It's like, wait, 796 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: but this is disruptive to me, and you're not even 797 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: telling me how we arrived there. Yesterday was the complete 798 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: opposite of that. And yeah, it is just for the 799 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: benefit of the people's long term faith in science, you know, so, 800 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: because I think if you're not really willing to engage 801 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: with what's happening, and things are fluid because we're dealing 802 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: with something illness we've never seen before, and it's it's 803 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: like happening in real time. A lot of people just saying, like, 804 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: what would the doctors say, and now they're saying this, well, 805 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: which one is it? And I think, yeah, by not 806 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 1: explaining and things like that, you allow to just be like, Okay, 807 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 1: I understand that was different than last time. But this 808 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: is how this is working. We've found this out and 809 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: that's we're adapting because we're being proactive about this. Yeah, 810 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: it really does have the u It can be. It 811 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: can be really really frustrating, and I think, yeah, looking 812 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,479 Speaker 1: at the colleges now, it's just like a whole they're 813 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: dealing with like just like you know, uh, the exuberance 814 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 1: of youth, uh, and like the nihilism of people spending 815 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: this money to get an education, entering an economy where 816 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: it's like what do I do with this degree? Now? 817 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: Like is there a job for me? Like? What am 818 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: I doing here? Again? Let's this party, let's this party. 819 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, the combination of energy and lack of perspective. Yeah, no, 820 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 1: it really, I mean that's the thing. So right now, 821 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: with this whole push to go back to whatever normal 822 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: is or just to get the economy looking a certain way. Uh, 823 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 1: you know, we're seeing all kinds of school university reopenings, 824 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: UM at the university of Alabama. They reopened on August nineteen, 825 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 1: and they said, according to their own university's COVID dashboard, 826 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: there have been five one corona cases since they opened, 827 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: five hundred thirty one. And that's like from self reported results, 828 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: that's from like the infirmary or whatever the school health 829 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,919 Speaker 1: office is. That's what they're dealing with already. Uh. And 830 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: I can only imagine what similar schools look like that 831 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 1: haven't actually put in, you know, take the time to 832 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: actually think these things through. There's a Daily Beast articles 833 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: just started kind of giving looking at a few different 834 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: schools and what sort of culturally is happening on campus. 835 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: Um Mariah Parker who we had on uh, she she 836 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: was telling us about j There's another thing about you 837 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: g A. They're saying that, like on Twitter, students are 838 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,919 Speaker 1: posting like screenshots from student groups and you can tell 839 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of misinformation and anti masker stuff 840 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: going on even within the students. There's one comment read quote, 841 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: no need for masks when you're six ft away or 842 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: at all, but hey, if it helps your psyche where 843 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: a hazmat suit. That's one. Uh. This is another one, 844 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: which is I think one of the most dangerous fucking 845 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: comments they could have had in their media. Way over 846 00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: exaggerates numbers. The number that matters most is that nine 847 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,760 Speaker 1: d nine point nine percent of people recover from COVID. 848 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: People being out of work. The fear of and anxiousness 849 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 1: that is running rampant is far more damage than this virus. 850 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,719 Speaker 1: Don't live in fear of folks, it's not healthy. Nine 851 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: Remember that number. I mean, that's an absolute right wing 852 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 1: talking point. But again, a lot of younger people seem 853 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: to be also catching onto that because it might not 854 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: be reflected in their reality seeing what the devastation is 855 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: of COVID. Yeah, that's like just hearing that is a 856 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: very specific feeling of helplessness that I'm I'm experiencing a 857 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: lot on social media when it's not usually people that 858 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: I'm encountering, but people that people I know are encountering. 859 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: And you know, a post that are getting spread. It's like, oh, 860 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 1: I see why this is effective, Like I understand why 861 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: you want to believe that and why that has the 862 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: ring of truth. But it's just I don't know how 863 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: to ounter it. Like I don't know, do we just 864 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: end Internet? I don't know. I have to do I mean, 865 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 1: I think, but the thing is, I mean, you know, 866 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: these talking points like you know, like the whole thing 867 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 1: of the idea of like the you know, shutting down 868 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: the economy is causing way more damage. That's not coming 869 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,799 Speaker 1: from a student who's looking at you know, he's that's 870 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: something that's like a talking point that you know, the 871 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: business owning class helps formulate to be able to like 872 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: sort of wrap your head like no one is like 873 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 1: the economy, oh my goodness, we're not. That's not our 874 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: vested interest the people who are yes to them because 875 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: the workers are not there to create the revenue for them. 876 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 1: And there's like that's the damage to me. But I'll 877 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: let you, you know, you'll build a pair of social 878 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 1: relationship with the billionaire class and then you'll stand with 879 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 1: me and say it's messing up the economy. Uh So. 880 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: But again, we even think as people are younger, it's like, well, 881 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: there's no way they're like they're they got to be smarter, 882 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 1: but you're not. At the end of the day, like 883 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 1: there's also this feeling to like you understand, there's a 884 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 1: sense of nie lism for that generation as well, where 885 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: they're looking at whatever their future prospects aren't probably like 886 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, like is it it seems bleak possibly 887 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 1: to like what what what's going on? Right? Yeah? There 888 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: was another sort of anecdote from University of Chapel Hill 889 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: and it was like this person got like the most 890 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: predictable gen Z response of like trying to be like 891 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: a like a person of authority. Um, there was like 892 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 1: a party at Chapel Hill and like right after like 893 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 1: there was an outbreak going into the school year and 894 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: there was I guess a sorority that they were just 895 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,319 Speaker 1: going like house party, the house party, and like one 896 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: of the like house moms of a fraternity basically said 897 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 1: that when she had approached some of the students to 898 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 1: be like hey, you know, please like remember to social 899 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: distance or wear a mask, they called her a quote 900 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: boomer and a quote bitch cool.

The party. It makes it 905 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: it makes it very like you you realize too, Like 906 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 1: that really is the attitude of someone sort of you 907 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,959 Speaker 1: think that it would be received a little bit better 908 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: than that, But we don't know, We don't know what 909 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: the interaction was. I feel like we're asking kids to 910 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: do the right thing, and you know, yeah, like the 911 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 1: University of Alabama should be doing the right thing. Unc 912 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: Chapel Hill should be doing the right thing. That's not 913 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,399 Speaker 1: being governed by a bunch of eighteen year olds who 914 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: are really really excited to party. But they know that 915 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: they're coming right exactly like when you open up you 916 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 1: at Chapelhill, you know who's coming there, right. It's not 917 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,400 Speaker 1: the like stay at home and let's play Settlers of 918 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: Catan crowd. It's like did yourre in college? You want 919 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: to get you going to get liddy. But the thing 920 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 1: too is a lot of the students have been saying 921 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 1: that exact point is that us, while there are students partying, 922 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 1: why don't you want to talk about the school that 923 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: had no regulations in place? Knowing you have party hungry 924 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: kids who have been like cooped up at home over 925 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: the summer or like even before that, maybe they're entering 926 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: their first year of school or whatever, and yeah, they're 927 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: going to be coming in there with a lot of 928 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 1: energy that you're going to have to figure out how 929 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 1: to like maneuver or redirect. But when you're planning just 930 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: sort of like, I don't know, half online classes and 931 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: half in person and you can wear a mask if 932 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: you want. That's enough. It's yeah, it really is. It's 933 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,960 Speaker 1: a it's a bad, bad faith argument against the students. 934 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 1: Mhm alright, let's talk let West Wing. Uh, because the 935 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 1: West Wing is having a reunion for some reason. Uh? 936 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:49,760 Speaker 1: They And when did that end? Uh? Nineties? I think no, no, 937 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit out after that because they there 938 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: was okay, yeah, yeah. So this is like held up 939 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 1: by people who are, you know, on the big d 940 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 1: democrat side of things, the establishment democrat side of things 941 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: as like the peak of Western culture. I think in 942 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 1: a lot of cases, um and cast reunions are big 943 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: things right now. So we're getting a West Wing reunion 944 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: where the cast will restage an old episode with new 945 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: original material written by the swork in Eron sworkin, all 946 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: in service of a when we all vote charity, which 947 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 1: voting is good. No no complaints there, But were you 948 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 1: guys fans of the West Wing? I like kind of 949 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 1: watched an episode here and there. I was never that 950 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 1: into it. I was never converted to the religion of 951 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 1: President Bartlett. I actually just watched the West Wing during 952 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,399 Speaker 1: the primary of this campaign. Yeah, for the first time. 953 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 1: It was part of the whole. Like I can only 954 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 1: watch things that I'm really familiar with already, I can't 955 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: right right, right? Was it instructional? Do you do you 956 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: credit the West Wing with your successful uh taking it 957 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: to a runoff? No? I think it was just, you know, 958 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 1: it felt like simpler times, like simpler times, you know, 959 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 1: it was just it was comforting, right. I didn't get 960 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: into it. I just I don't know. My head wasn't 961 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: in that place. It was like I don't care about 962 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 1: like politicians right now. But uh, yeah, It's weird because 963 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 1: when I was a few of my coworkers when I 964 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 1: was working in politics love this ship out of the 965 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: West Wing, Like it was there fucking like Beatles, you 966 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I was like I don't 967 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, you gotta do you like, you 968 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 1: gotta watch it, and I get. I think I just 969 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,880 Speaker 1: at whatever episode I saw, was like so confused, and 970 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, this for whatever reason, it's not quite 971 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: speaking to me. But I get, you know, people it's uh, 972 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, gave us Bradley Whitford huh for Obama a 973 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 1: third arm. That is such a good casting. Yeah, apparently 974 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: they were originally hoping to cast Sydney Potier to play 975 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 1: the president and then yeah, and then the first episode 976 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 1: ended up having not a single black character by the 977 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:26,439 Speaker 1: time it made it to air. So simple times. Yeah right, 978 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: I really well, yeah, because I just saw I like 979 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: every photo I see, there's like this one like black 980 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: man I see in the photo and I don't know 981 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: what his character was, but the actor's Dole Hill, And 982 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,240 Speaker 1: I was like, what was his character? What was his character? 983 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 1: His character was the President's body man. He took care 984 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 1: of the president's problems, and I think he more like 985 00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: Michael Clayton. He would like solve the problems in a 986 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 1: in a way like what's that what's the dude on 987 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey's show?

Oh, Personal Presidential Aid and 992 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 1: Deputy Special Assistant to the chief of staff. Interesting. Yeah, 993 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 1: I think it's like he is unofficially like he's more 994 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 1: of a Michael Cohen. Maybe I don't know, I don't 995 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: I never watched the show Nithy. Is that is that accurate? Uh? Yeah, 996 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,800 Speaker 1: it's like he was. He's like a p A who's 997 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: more like a not like a problem solver, but like, okay, 998 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 1: the president's schedule is like he's got to leave this 999 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: meeting excuse me, and make sure that he travels with 1000 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: him all the time. He makes sure that he is 1001 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,879 Speaker 1: meeting both his personal obligations and his professional obligations. He's 1002 00:56:51,920 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 1: kind of like the Tony Hale character in Veep. Yes, exactly, exactly, Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, Yeah, 1003 00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 1: that's that's that's I think, right. Um, at least that's 1004 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 1: how he was on the show. And then he moves 1005 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 1: over to CJ's office to work in cooms and press, 1006 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 1: got it. Yeah? Yeah. And then there's also the issue 1007 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: of you know, this was happening during the Bush administration 1008 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:24,919 Speaker 1: and uh they there's a war with a fictional Middle 1009 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: Eastern country called kumar quamar uh that is like a 1010 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:36,960 Speaker 1: cartoonistly evil melting pot of Islamophobic stereotypes and yeah, just 1011 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: kind of that was their way of dealing with that 1012 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: whole nine eleven thing. What would we do to if, 1013 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 1: like if this was like helping to be a salve 1014 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 1: for liberals during the Bush administration, what's the like, how 1015 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,240 Speaker 1: how do you do the version of something like this 1016 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: or like how about this alternate leader thing? And would 1017 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 1: it just be completely slaps Do you think we would 1018 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: still treat it with the same reverence. I'm I'm just 1019 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:04,960 Speaker 1: thinking of like how you would even engage with the 1020 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 1: show like this anymore, given like the climate we're in 1021 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 1: and like what you know, respects of what we're seeing now. 1022 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 1: I think it's very telling that our version of this 1023 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: show now is veep, you know what I mean, Like 1024 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 1: that is what we have just like like whatever their 1025 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: clowns or jokers, man, we've seen it. I think I 1026 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: think that makes sense. And I've heard people who work 1027 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 1: on politics say that Veep is like the most accurate 1028 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 1: representation of what federal politics are like in Washington, d C. 1029 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,440 Speaker 1: At least. But then we need we need a more 1030 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: local version. That's what we need is we need to 1031 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,040 Speaker 1: start glamorizing, you know, at the local level, because I 1032 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 1: think that's the thing again with everything that's going on 1033 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, but that was different. But I think, like, 1034 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, I like kind of like, you know, Nathia's 1035 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: like work on something, you know what I mean, Let's 1036 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: make let's make a show about let's see what happens 1037 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: in November and exactly.
