I remember I was alive then, 184 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: and now you know the in I think in the 185 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: Assembly it's like it's like seventy seventy two to eight 186 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: or seventy one to nine, something like that and. 187 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: That that was just looking back as a complete lack 188 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: of leadership on the Republican Party. Back then, there was 189 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: no leadership and you just allowed one party rule to 190 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: take over. 191 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: And you know, there's that. 192 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: But I think a lot of people from my high 193 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: school and my friends, I mean now they're not they 194 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: have other things other than politics, and they look at 195 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 3: those things.

But I don't know. 386 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: I mean you probably heard we go through the Triple 387 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: A gas price report every day and somebody sent in. 388 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: One of our listeners in Oklahoma sent in two dollars 389 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: and thirty six cents. 390 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: And that's what I was gonna ask you, because I've 391 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 3: been yelling at my radio all week. What do you 392 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: think the average price of gasoline is or would be 393 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: if we took out Alaska, Hawaiian and California. It's probably 394 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: going to go down another right, Yeah, it's probably go 395 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: down another quarter, just with because you know, Hawaiian, Alaska outliers. Yes, 396 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: and we're obviously an outlier by our own making, right, 397 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: So what do you think. 398 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 2: The average price would actually be without the three of us? 399 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 2: Could be under three bucks? 400 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: Again? 401 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I saw that twenty seven states are under 402 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: three bucks, including a lot of big states right, like 403 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: like like New Jersey and Massachusetts, and New York's only 404 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: at about three ten. The national average I saw was 405 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: like three between three ten and three fifteen. You know, 406 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 2: it goes up and down a couple of pennies every day. 407 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 3: I'm the guy who brings a gas can with me 408 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 3: when I go to Vegas, trying to get next to 409 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 3: six gallons out of it and bring it home. 410 00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: Did you really do that? 411 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: Not so much anymore, but when I did a long time, 412 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: when I had my truck, you know, I mean, you 413 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,959 Speaker 3: have a truck six gallons? 414 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? So I mean in France they had the Yellow 415 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 2: Vest riots, remember, I mean they were fire set and 416 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: people were really got violent because of some kind of 417 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: relatively mild tax compared to what we're going through. And 418 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 2: I'm so envious. It's like, where is our Yellow Vest riot? 419 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 2: Where are people really taking to the street. You look 420 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: at what people like protest over. 421 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: Right, and. 422 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 3: You know, they're saying that California has the fourth largest 423 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 3: economy now, which okay. 424 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: May or may not be true, but is it really 425 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: a moving economy? 426 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 3: Because what really pushes economies and grows them is cheaper energy, 427 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: and we don't have cheap energy. We have expensive gas, 428 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: we have expensive electricity. 429 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: Well it's out. 430 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 2: It's so weighted towards the tech companies, right, and the 431 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 2: people who work for those companies. When I saw the 432 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: average Facebook engineer a couple of years ago, I saw 433 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: I was making four hundred thousand a year. Well, think 434 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: all the people who work for Meta and Google and Apple. 435 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: I mean, if they're all making three, four or five 436 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars a year just sitting and staring at 437 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 2: a screen. All right, there's your economy. That's it's a 438 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 2: service economy. Doesn't produce anything. It doesn't there's no goods 439 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 2: that come with it. 440 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: And it sends likes out. 441 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: Yes, And those people who make that kind of money 442 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 3: can live a few blocks away from their work and 443 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 3: the price of gas doesn't affect them. 444 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: And I've just seen like five bucks roughly a gallon. 445 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: Now you know it's champish, you can get it. 446 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 3: It's more expensive. It's more expensive here than it is 447 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 3: out in Sammerndino. It's at least fifty cents more more 448 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 3: more here in La County. 449 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, oh definitely, yeah, you go you go 450 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 2: to you ever go with border in Arizona. Oh yeah, 451 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: it's in the threes.

Yeah, that's 459 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: really cheap. 460 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 2: But and it's going to be like a triple whammy 461 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: within the next eighteen months because you're going to have 462 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: this California Air Resources Board with the new fuel standard 463 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: that's sixty five cents there. 464 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: How is carb even legal?

Isn't the legislature job to legislate? 468 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 3: And if they pass that off onto somebody else, I 469 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: can't complain to my right legislature to say hey, don't 470 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: do this.

It's still going 518 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: up into. 519 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: The atmosphere, and we're shipping our jobs there.

It sits on a corner wedged in between 567 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 5: LAUSD headquarters, an apartment building, and a local high school. 568 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 5: A neighbor who recorded the chaotic aftermath believes the woman's 569 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 5: daughter was looking for her mom, who had gone missing 570 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 5: days prior. She apparently ripped open the fabric around the encampment, 571 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 5: only to find her loved one dead, with signs she 572 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 5: may have been mulled by a dog. 573 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 6: When I heard her heroing screens, it just shook us 574 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 6: all to our core. 575 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 5: We all just thought of shaking because we knew, we 576 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 5: absolutely knew, someone's dead outside. This man wants to remain anonymous. 577 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 5: He's concerned about his safety. 578 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 7: Is the entire electrical setup that they have is a 579 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 7: reason why it's tax paying citizens don't even. 580 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: Have power for ourselves. 581 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 5: But he felt it was important to talk about the 582 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 5: chronic dangers of this homeless encampment, which attracts drug users 583 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 5: and people breeding and mistreating their animals. If you lived 584 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 5: outside of this yourself, if this was something you saw 585 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 5: every time you had to step out and white your 586 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 5: neighbors and whte your family in, then. 587 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 6: You would see rabbity. You would see rabity extremely Differently. 588 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 5: Another person who works in the area tells KTLA that 589 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 5: no one abides by the signage over here, whether it's. 590 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 6: Parking or camping related. 591 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 5: She said, quote, everyone is well aware the police drive 592 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 5: by here several times a day, she calls three point one, 593 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 5: but the tents and the destructive behavior persists. These concerns 594 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 5: come as Governor Newsom is calling on cities and counties 595 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 5: to immediately address unhealthy encampments. He released a model ordinance 596 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 5: this week with provisions prohibiting persistent camping in one location 597 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 5: and a requirement for local officials to provide notice and 598 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 5: make an effort to provide shelter prior to clearing an encampment. 599 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: It's time to take these incampments and provide alternatives, and 600 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: the state is giving you more resources than ever. 601 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 5: Longtime residents hope the mayor and city council take this 602 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 5: to heart. 603 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 6: After all, they say, it's their well being on the line. 604 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 5: Truly, mostly carried than anything, because even just reporting this 605 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 5: is just They're gonna feel offended. 606 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: They're gonna feel like we did something wrong here just 607 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: by telling them. 608 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 6: They say they want somewhere to live. However, it says 609 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 6: nothing but danger in death. 610 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 5: Lapd says no foul play is suspected. We just heard 611 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 5: from the mayor's office who says this case reinforces the 612 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 5: urgent need to address this grave humanitarian crisis. She said 613 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 5: she's working with the council to bring more Angelinos inside 614 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 5: and to improve public safety. 615 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: No, you go first, I'll say night for tomorrow.
