Speaker 1: Well, they're going to make us taken vagrants all right.

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: So well, speaking of vagrants, we mentioned yesterday, Hey, what's

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: going on with that homeless encampment problem there on Beverly Grove,

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: neighbor of Los Angeles Sanveacente Boulevard.

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Nick story a month ago, right, we had the naked

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: lady Nagason on the couch. Blake Blake Turley was doing

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: reports from there, and everybody was promising to do something.

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: And then the story, as all these stories do, they disappear.

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: But today there is an announcement that Beverly, the Breathley

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Grove encampment on Santa Sente bullv Heart is being cleaned up.

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with doctor ken Wright. He's an ophthalmologist.

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: He owns a medical building on that stretch. I known

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: him for years, and we're going to talk to him

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: about whether this is true. We were always skeptical of everything,

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Doctor Wright, Are you there, I'm there.

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm here, John, And to my amazement, it's ninety percent better.

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: It's it's incredible.

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: And how long did this take?

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's been out there for over a

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: year and a half, two years, but the mayor herself

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: was actually on premises and was helping manage the situation.

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: And they're mostly gone.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, but how long did it take?

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: For how long did it take to get ninety percent out?

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Two days or a week or how long?

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Do you know?

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: One day yesterday?

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they had truction out there, they had counselors.

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: My understanding is that they placed them into hotel rooms.

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: One group. A couple of people did not want to go,

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: and so they're still working on them. But I think

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: it's eighty ninety percent better. But and you know which

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: is I kept my hat to the mayor and thank her,

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 3: but it's really not the long term answer. The long

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: term answer is a mega facility, a residential facility for

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: people who can't make it with services. You know, I

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: ran for Congress and I met a lot of people

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: and it was a VET that takes care of homeless

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: fatch and he said, it's more than two walls four walls.

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: In a roof. They need services, alcohol.

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: Rehab, psychiatric, and unfortunately, just putting them in a hotel room.

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the answer.

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: Do you know where they are? Which hotels?

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. I sort of heard scuttle, but I

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: was there yesterday after surgery. I went by and I

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 3: talked to some people, and supposedly I think they tried

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: to get them to hotels.

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm not. I don't have no idea which hotels.

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: So everybody went peacefully.

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: Most of them.

60
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's pretty peaceful. And I actually talked to a

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: couple of homeless guys. But you know, there are a

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: few that just wanted to stay and they did not

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: forcibly remove them. They're trying to counsel them and find

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: special housing and areas they like.

65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do they want to stay there on the

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: san VACNTHI stretch? Is there something that they is attractive

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: to them about it?

69
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: Well? One one one gentleman said that it's close to

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: where he's going to school, and that they wanted to

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: move him to further out location, a remote location, and

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: it wasn't convenient.

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Or is that for real? Like what what kind of

74
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: a school? Really?

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what kind of some training he

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: was taking and their location was too far and I

77
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: guess you could imagine that would be true. But I mean,

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: it's a tough it's a difficult it's a difficult situation

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: to deal with. Do you want to be compassionate, but

80
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: on the other hand, you have to enforce the law.

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: My goodness.

82
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Do you know what happened to the naked woman on

84
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the sofa?

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

86
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: I remember that she was on the other side of

87
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: my building initially, and she was always naked, but she

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: was mostly in her tent. And then the tent burned down,

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: almost burned down my building, and then she went to

90
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: the median strip on a couch.

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: You saw that, Yes, the.

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: Whole world saw that.

93
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: Well, doctor Wright, you know how this bass inside Safe

94
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: program works. They're supposed to only be doing this for

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: what they call the troubled encampments, And what worked for

96
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: you guys is that this got a lot of TV attention,

97
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: so it made its way up.

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, media people, No, you guys did a good job.

99
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: And what about that worthless councilwoman. Then Katie Eerra slot.

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: She wasn't interested until the story made the front pages.

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 4: Correct, it's absolutely correct.

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: Make statements about this is unacceptable and we're going to

103
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: do everything weekend.

104
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Because then because then I saw a quote of hers recently, Well,

105
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: this takes months to coordinate, but they actually did it

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: in a day when they finally decided to do it. Yeah.

107
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: Correct, But you know this is not in my opinion

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: the long term, No, it's not. You know, Cameria State

109
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: Hospital one thousand, five hundred acres and it was for

110
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: people with developmental disabilities. And then our legislature so smartly

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: passed this law that you couldn't in turn somebody, you

112
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: couldn't commit them. So guess what happened?

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: They all left? Where'd they go on the street?

114
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: How would you describe the people at this encampment where

115
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: they drug addicted, alcohol addicted, mental health problems, so they're

116
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: just lazy and they can't get together, and how would

117
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: you describe a lot of them?

118
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: Well, I spoke with several times.

119
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: Officer O'Brien, that's his beat, and between him and myself,

120
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: we've learned that there's a variety of people. Many are

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: drug addicted and selling drugs, and that's why they don't

122
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: want to go to an organize residents, because they want

123
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: to be free to do that. A lot of mental illness.

124
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: You hear people just screaming. One gentleman just sweeps the

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: same part of the sidewalk all day, and that retetitive

126
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: behavior is typical of psychosis. So it's a mixed bag.

127
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 3: But between drug addiction and alcoholism, I mean, that's probably

128
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: the majority of them.

129
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: All right, Doctor Wright, thanks for talking to us once again.

130
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: And I guess it's a better situation for you now there.

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: Now they take a lot better.

132
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: But don't I don't think in the long term we

133
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: can do this piecemeal. We've got to have a large

134
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: facility that can house thousands of people.

135
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's just trying to get a media victory

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: by grabbing people into motels as fast as she can.

137
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: We got to build a lot of those facilities. That's

138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: what they got to be working on.

139
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: But honestly, I was suspicious about them, but they did

140
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: do it. And so for my selfishness, it's better, but

141
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 3: not I don't think for the long run.

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let us know if they keep them away,

143
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: because that's always the next big question is are they Yeah?

144
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well, good talk with you, doctor, Right, all right,

145
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again. Thanks, doctor ken Wright.

146
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Enthomologists in the Beverly Grove area, which has had this

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: homeless encampment problem. I heard a couple of the vagrants

148
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: interview this morning, and they were kind of complaining. One

149
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: was saying, they wouldn't tell us where they're taking us.

150
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: We think it was a motel in Lindwood. That's far

151
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: from here.

152
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: This is not the area that we know. You don't

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: own property here.

154
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Another one said, we could only take two bags of

155
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: our stuff, and I'm a size thirteen shoe. I put

156
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: my shoes in there and two outfits and.

157
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: It's a full bag. That's not fair. That's really what

158
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: I heard. We have to take all their troubles and

159
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: their problems. Don't get a job, buy yourself a big house,

160
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: buy yourself lots of shoes. That's what Debra did. You

161
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: don't have room for all your style shoes. Nebra has

162
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: a big house, she's got room for hundreds of shoes

163
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: and she wears Loyala size one six children's six. All right,

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: we got more coming up.

174
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: The iHeartRadio app the microphone icon. That's an easy way

175
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: to do it. Call the toll free number one eight

176
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: seven seven Moist eighty six operators standing by. Not really

177
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: one one eight seven seven. Well yeah, but not till

178
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: later in the day when he gets to the calls.

179
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: He doesn't take a live an like more slinkles one

180
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight eighty six.

181
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: I remember there was this idea when you and I

182
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: did show on the road one day that we would

183
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: do a live moistline.

184
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: From I was like, no, no, no, no no.

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: You don't realize that this editing and calls that are

186
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: rejected a lot to this to make the moistline sound

187
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: the way it does when people are asked to speak

188
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: off the top of their head, it will not work.

189
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: You.

190
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: What you hear every week is the cream. Yeah, sadly

191
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: sour cream.

192
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: You know what's coming on the show after two thirty.

193
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: Can't find news reporter Blake Trolley for the story that

194
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: got us worked up yesterday. We have an l a

195
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: nonprofit that's handing out meth pipes to the homeless on

196
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: Skin Road. And even the vagrants were distressed in the

197
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: news story we played yesterday. It's right, they were upset

198
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: you and that guy could barely speak where you get dude.

199
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: These are people who have fried nearly every available brain

200
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: cell with meth. They can barely articulate, and they were

201
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: pissed off that that free meth pipes were being handed

202
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: out by this idiotic, stupid non profit. And it's not

203
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: a non profit because, as was demonstrated in the story,

204
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: this was a genus silver from Fox eleven. She had

205
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: the story, they take twelve million dollars in revenue I

206
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: guess tax money and donations. Seven million go for salaries

207
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: and benefits. So you know what that game is.

208
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: So it's only five million dollars for services, which includes

209
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: smeth pipe pipes are pretty cheap. No, these these nonprofits

210
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: exist to enrich the people who run, to build a

211
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: bureaucracy exactly, and to pay the top people big bucks.

212
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: The place is called Homeless Healthcare Los Angeles. Did you

213
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: look up the salaries of the top executives there? Did

214
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: you do that? Or uh? No? I did not, but

215
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to file tax s. I saved a couple

216
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: of the pages, and I got to the Board of

217
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Director's page, and.

218
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: I told you yesterday they were selling hoodies and t

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: shirts with their name on them on the website.

220
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. If you click the Board of

221
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: Director's link on the front page, it doesn't go anywhere.

222
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: They turned the link dead, but if you google it

223
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: you could get to the page.

224
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I wonder if that's because of yesterday's response.

225
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's very suspicious, but I googled the

226
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: page and then I could find it. But you can't

227
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: get careful. It will dox them, by the ways, like

228
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: that term dox. We'll docs them. I've noticed whenever we

229
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: come across these nonprofit companies or sometimes legislative boards, city councils.

230
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: Often the link to the names of the council doesn't work.

231
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: They make it hard to find and you can't see

232
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: their bios and their contact information doesn't exist. Well, this

233
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: is because of Trump, I like the show go silent.

234
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: No oh yeah, because that's what the media will tell

235
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: you that because Trump started all this rage against government officials,

236
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 2: that that's exactly why they're they're removing all their information

237
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: the websites, because they'll be tracked down and they'll be

238
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: screamed at.

239
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: Of course it works both ways.

240
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: The progressive scream the judges and everybody else they can

241
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: find that they don't.

242
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think collecting twelve million paying out seven

243
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: million in salaries now, is I legitimate? Yeah?

244
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: So all right, I think what I'm about to say

245
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: these two words, I'm guessing you're pretty ready to ban.

246
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: All right.

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: It goes along with this story, and I'm always in

248
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: a banning mood. I know you've banned a number of

249
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: expressions that are used on the show. Right, We've talked

250
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: about over the years. What was the one from a

251
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: couple of months ago that was coming up like every

252
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: day and You're.

253
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: Like, oh, we can't say anymore. Probably a weather term.

254
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: I think we banned a lot of weather. Oh you're right,

255
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: bomb cyclone, bomb cyclone, and atmospheric river. And this one

256
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: is harm reduction. Oh that's bad, Yes, definite, I guess right.

257
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: Well, that's at the center of what we're going to

258
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: talk about with the meth pipes. Also in this story,

259
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: there's a free vending machine at Santa Clara University and

260
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: it's got the drug Naxelon in it. I mean, really, again,

261
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: the idea of this is the banned words harm reduction.

262
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: We just want to save lives. We don't care if

263
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: you use drugs and you're splay out on the floor.

264
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: Just get some maxlone handy and save yourself or have

265
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: somebody save you.

266
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing it. It's it's okay to have

267
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: noxalon available if you want to rescue a college student

268
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: who inadvertently popped an adderall and it turned out out

269
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: to be fentanel. But if you take drug addicts who're

270
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: dying in front of you and hand them more drugs

271
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: so they can die sooner, like in the meth pipe situation,

272
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: every time they take another hit of myth they're that

273
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: much closer to being dead from a meth overdose or

274
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the brain damage that they're suffering from. Right, So that

275
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: that's horrible. But if if you actually have a vending

276
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: machine at a college dorm, and because it's free, I'm

277
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: somebody will just go in there and take them all

278
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: and go sell them, right, Yeah, yeah, that's probably I

279
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: think this is just asking for it.

280
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: One guy is going to say, oh, free, I'll just

281
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: keep pushing these buttons and take all the maxlone out

282
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: of here and I'll find a place to sell it

283
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: where the drug addicts are.

284
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: I just it's very smart. I'm kind of amazed that

285
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: if you see they're not putting in colleges these NOx

286
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: alone machines, doesn't that occur to you? I guess I

287
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't take any random pill from anybody anymore, because now

288
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: that it's so deadly that you have to have a

289
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: special display case.

290
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: I wonder what percentage now of social media pills, or

291
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: at least with any kind of fentanyl.

292
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: I wonder what that want. Somebody should do a study.

293
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: Somebody should buy a bunch of pills off of social media,

294
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: and then I analyze them in the lab and tell

295
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: us what percentage of them actually on them.

296
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I want to know that. I mean, why would you

297
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: keep taking the pills? Well, at street pills I'm talking about, right,

298
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean there's plenty illegal.

299
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: Pelopioids are addictive. That's why people take the pills. Yeah,

300
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: I feel like it gives them a release from whatever

301
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: their stress or problems are.

302
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but some of these they just they

303
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: go for a quickie hit. I think they're in a

304
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: pre addiction state. Although you can get addicted after just

305
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: one or two pills, you can.

306
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, did you see they arrested to I think

307
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: it's in the Inland Empire and Riverside. Oh yeah, here

308
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: it is Norco. They've arrested a mother accused her of

309
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: murder because her seventeen month old child died from fentanyl

310
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: seventeen months Apparently the woman had it in the home

311
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: and the child accidentally ingested it.

312
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: There's a record number of children, not teenagers, but little children. Yeah,

313
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: pediatric deaths are way up from fentanyl set. I mean,

314
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: the numbers were really low.

315
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: So I don't hate to use these crazy percentages that

316
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: they use, but yes, definitely, this is beginning to be

317
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: a bigger problem.

318
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: There's a morning sign how much is out there? And

319
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: also how many people are taking pills and getting high? Yeah,

320
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: because we're circling the dream.

321
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all of the I mean, remember when Trump

322
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: was running for president, we had a bad opioid problem.

323
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: We didn't have fentanyl, but we had many people dying.

324
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: Of overdoses because that's how they were dealing with the

325
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: unemployment problem and everything else.

326
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: They were frustrated and they're all alone and isolated. Yeah. Yeah,

327
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, so weird.

328
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: Well, when we come back, we'll get more on that

329
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: meth pipe story. Blake Trolley's got a little to tell

330
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: us about this nonprofit. As John mentioned, they took in

331
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: twelve million. He said they spent seven million on salaries.

332
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: That's what they had in the news story Genus Silvin

333
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: did on Fox eleven.

334
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, this is the nonprofit that's handing out

335
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: meth pipes to the homeless on skid Row. John and

00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

339
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk about the border situation coming up

340
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: after three o'clock. Of course, the expiration of Title forty two.

341
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: The reimposition is something called Title eight. Tell you what

342
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: that's about, and it may be the explanation as to

343
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: why so many people are trying to get into the

344
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: United States as soon as possible, lining up at the border.

345
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: The House of Representatives in DC did pass a bill,

346
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: of course, it's Republican controlled dealing with the border. Will

347
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: tell you all about this, And yes, we'll play a

348
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: couple of clips from last night CNN town hall featuring

349
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.

350
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: That was entertaining. Did you watch it? I watched a

351
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: bunch of clips late last night and this morning, and

352
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: he kind of took over the thing. Yeah, it was

353
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: the show. It was there, the audiences packed with his fans.

354
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: It was like the old days again. Ut that wasn't

355
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: actually a town hall meeting. He turned it into his

356
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: own rally. All right.

357
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: So yesterday we brought you a story from Fox eleven

358
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: News by Gina Silva about government funded meth pipes being

359
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: handed out to LA's homeless on skid Row. The nonprofit

360
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: behind this is something called Homeless Healthcare Los Angeles. Alleged

361
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: league workers drive around skid Row and golf carts handing

362
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: out drug paraphernalia into those in the even the.

363
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: Meth addicts couldn't believe it. And the president is Scott Fears.

364
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: He's a doctor and a professor of psychiatry UCLA. And

365
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: I've found their border direct and all the all the

366
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: principles here. And it's a lot of a lot of

367
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: rich people. It's people in finance. It's a lot of

368
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: people with doctorate's business business people.

369
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: Why they're doing this. Blake Trolley can't find news with

370
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: more on the story. Let's see what he was able

371
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: to dig up.

372
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, guys, so you know all of this started when

373
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 6: a guy named Tony Anthony took video of all of this.

374
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 7: He runs a TikTok page. I looked into it.

375
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 6: He takes videos around skid Row of many different things, cooking,

376
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 6: just different elements of life on skid Row, and he

377
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 6: claims and he talls video of a golf cart which

378
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 6: appears to have belonged to Homeless Healthcare LA handing these

379
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 6: pipes out. He he appears to ask for one and

380
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 6: pretty effortlessly. A lady inside a golf cart that again

381
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 6: looks like it's labeled Homeless health Carolay hands it to

382
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 6: him without really much hesitation at all. He claims they

383
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 6: had boxes of this stuff. People in the area say

384
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 6: broken use pipes can be found all over the street.

385
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 6: Tony Anthony against this, as is Andy Bales, who runs

386
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 6: Union Rescue Mission. I know you guys have him on

387
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 6: from time to time. I spoke with him about this

388
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 6: earlier today. He thinks this is a terrible idea.

389
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 8: It's heartbreaking to me because I know that it is

390
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 8: enabling a deadly addiction. And these pipes were handed out

391
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 8: to people without any education that I know of or

392
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 8: that is aware. And they also did not make sure

393
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 8: that any narcan accompanied And by the way those pipes

394
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 8: going out, it means they could be smoking meth, or

395
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 8: smoking meth mixed with fentanyl, or smoking mixed with fentanyl

396
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 8: with horse strengthquilizer, which is not able to be overcome

397
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 8: by narcan. So, in other words, if you overdose on

398
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 8: a mix of fentanyl and horse strength, you can't be

399
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 8: brought back by narcan. So they're handed out. They're handing

400
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 8: out meth pipes that potentially could be deadly, and nobody's

401
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 8: following to see if everybody's okay. They're just handing out

402
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 8: the pipes and making it able for people to overdose.

403
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 7: And homeless healthcare.

404
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 6: LA guys really focuses on this harm reduction model that

405
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 6: we've heard about. It offers other services including needle exchange,

406
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 6: overdose reversal, kits, hygiene services, behavioral health. You know, when

407
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: you talk about harm reduction, it really takes on kind

408
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 6: of this attitude of.

409
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 7: Well, people are going to do drugs.

410
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 6: We're going to try to mitigate the risks knowing we're

411
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 6: going to do drugs anyways. That's kind of the The

412
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 6: risk is philosophy.

413
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: The risk is actually taking the meth into your system.

414
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: They're making it easier. They're not reducing the harm, they're

415
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: creating the harm. Sorry. Sorry, yeah, we'll be furious. This

416
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: is such maloney.

417
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 6: And Bales went on to say that this is not

418
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 6: the answer in his mind. He says, you know, recovery

419
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 6: really needs to be the direction that this heads. And

420
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: I saw I heard you guys breaking down the financials.

421
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 6: I'm working to figure out exactly how much this organization

422
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 6: that's currently in government money. It's been reported that in

423
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen it got more than eleven million dollars in

424
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 6: government funding. John, I heard you breaking that down, that

425
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 6: twelve point four million dollar operating fund in twenty nineteen,

426
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 6: A huge portion of that going to salaries, but again bails.

427
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

428
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: I would like to find out how much the principals

429
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: are making here, because I'm sure they're making six figure

430
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: salaries for handing out meth pops like they were part

431
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: of some street drug gang.

432
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: I sent you an email, John, from a listener who

433
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: looked them up in Charity Navigator.

434
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they got good ratings. They rate charities.

435
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: But they also had Mark Casanova, executive director one hundred

436
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: and fifty seven thousand dollars a year, one hundred and

437
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: fifty seven thousand dollars, Amber Roth, director of operations one

438
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five thousand, and Miguel Perez the controller

439
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five grand. Yeah, I got Do

440
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 2: you have these names listed here on their on their page?

441
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

442
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: I did look up Casanova. He is executive the executive director.

443
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: That's not harmored, that's giving them the mechanism so they

444
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: can kill themselves. I'm so sick of the double talk

445
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: that that that that creates harm, that's not getting them

446
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: off meth. It's it's it's it's helping them destroy their

447
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: brains quicker and die quicker. Do you see any any

448
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: methadics of retirement age. They die, They die in the street,

449
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: and it's a terrible death, and this organization is hastening

450
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: their death and they're making money off this blake.

451
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: I guess the claim was that there's dangerous meth pipes

452
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: and they're trying to give them like clean needles.

453
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: It's the idea here.

454
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 6: I guess that's the idea, guys. I've actually trying to

455
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 6: clarify exactly what the position is. I've reached out to

456
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 6: the organization for comment. I have not heard back from them,

457
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 6: but again, yeah, I've I've reached out uh Andy Bale's

458
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 6: Union Rescue Mission. Again, he says this is not the answer.

459
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 6: That the government, really, the county really should start funding

460
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 6: more money in this, you know, in more of a

461
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 6: recovery effort, you know. He says, it's dangerous the way

462
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 6: you know that this is all being funded. And again

463
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: he heavily works with the homeless population down on skin

464
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 6: on skid row.

465
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 7: Guys, I want to pivot here for a second.

466
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 6: If I heard you talking also about Beverly Grove while

467
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 6: we're all talking about this, and I think it's important

468
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 6: we also talk about the cleanup on that side. I

469
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 6: know yesterday I sent you guys the press release that

470
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 6: Inside Safe had gone there, and it sounds like earlier

471
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 6: this hour you guys are also talking about the Beverly

472
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 6: Grove cleanup.

473
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah on San Vicente.

474
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So this morning I went over there again.

475
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 6: Inside Safe started yesterday and we show up this morning.

476
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 6: There were still quite a few tents lining the street

477
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: of San Vicente. The Mayor's Inside Safe program began working

478
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 6: there yesterday. Twenty one people were housed yesterday. The city

479
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 6: says it expects to house another eight by the end

480
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 6: of the day today. Again, the city made a big

481
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 6: push yesterday to start housing people.

482
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 7: Today they came back to house even more people.

483
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 6: Officials say they think just about everyone who was there

484
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 6: has accepted the housing.

485
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: But again, business isn't. The areas say they're.

486
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: Skeptical that these camps are going to return, including this

487
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 6: woman who runs an interior design firm.

488
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 9: So it is good that they moved them, but I'm

489
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 9: pretty sure more gonna come, and it's gonna be the

490
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 9: same situation because we would cause sanitation, they would come,

491
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 9: just take a look and leave. And until yesterday we

492
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 9: finally saw some action. But I do believe it's gonna

493
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 9: happen over and over again.

494
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 7: And why is that? Why do you think they'll come

495
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 7: right back?

496
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 9: Because there's just no like, how did I say this?

497
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 9: There's no It just feels like this doesn't matter. It's

498
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 9: not important enough maybe to the mayor. And when we

499
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 9: were making calls, they wouldn't do anything until now, until

500
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 9: more people started joining and making complaints. But I just

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 9: think there's no real like regulation of the whole situation.

502
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 6: She told me that, And I didn't know this, but

503
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 6: the last time, the last time I was there, I

504
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 6: spoke to her, she didn't mention this, that a pediatrician

505
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 6: actually had to move out of there because parents didn't

506
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 6: want to take their kids to that office. And again

507
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 6: I spoke with another woman, another business owner. She said

508
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 6: she's worried it's gonna pop up again. She said she

509
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 6: saw a tent actually being set up while they were

510
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 6: breaking down the tents yesterday. Also, guys, you know, inside

511
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 6: Safe is not an enforcement. It is more of a

512
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 6: you know, more of a of a suggestion. You know,

513
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 6: we have housing available for you and I do wonder

514
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 6: if there's gonna be any stubborn cases.

515
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 7: I spoke with one woman today.

516
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 6: She said she'd only accept housing if it was a

517
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 6: female shelter, a woman's shelter. The city officials said they

518
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 6: did have her lined up to go to a woman's shelter.

519
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 6: But again, that kind of goes to show you some

520
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 6: of the pushback they might be able to get. I

521
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 6: spoke with another guy. He actually was taken to the

522
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: housing yesterday. This housing is down at least what was

523
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 6: told to me is that the housing they're taking them

524
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 6: to is near Sofi Stadium. And one of the people

525
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 6: I spoke with this morning, and this was pretty early

526
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 6: this morning, was already back at the campsite. He had

527
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 6: been taken down to Sofi Stadium, but he was worried

528
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 6: about his friend's tent and his friend's belonging, so he

529
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 6: got Hublic Transit and went right back to Beverly Grove.

530
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Blake, thank you very much for that report.

531
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: Get yep, Yeah, that's the guy I heard interviewed this

532
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: morning that he went back there to help another friend

533
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: to his and they told all these stories about it,

534
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: and they're.

535
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: Telling us where we're going and we didn't. There's only

536
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: get two bags of.

537
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: Our stuff, all right, More coming up Johnny Ken kf

538
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: I AM six forty live everywhere I heard radio app.

539
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

540
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

541
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: We're close. Getting Tom McClintock on in a few minutes

542
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: after three o'clock because he has a bill he's written

543
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: that the House is probably going to pass to try

544
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: to clean up this border situation or at least allow

545
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: the Republicans to make their stand. Also, Lori lightfe with

546
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: the Chicago mayor has issued a state of emergency because

547
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: of all the illegal aliens that are coming in emergency

548
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: shelter and resettlement. She wants federal and state aid. They're

549
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: out of money, they're out of space. Hold on a second,

550
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to read something here. Did you have more? Well,

551
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: like you go on for a while, but I mean

552
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: that's that's yeah, you know, that's the headline here. You know,

553
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: she had declared Chicago's sanctuary city, just like Eric Adams,

554
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: and both cities have run out of space. They got

555
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: illegal aliens in the streets. In fact, in New York

556
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: City there was a law that says every homeless person

557
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: is entitled to a bed. So New York City has

558
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: these massive shelters and the homeless have to go to

559
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: them every night. And Adams has suspended that rule because

560
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: they have no more beds because of all the illegal

561
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: aliens that have ended up in New York. And now

562
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: Lori Lightfoot in Chicago says same thing. Here, we're at

563
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: a room, so we were declaring a state of emergency. Yeah.

564
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: The bill that we're going to talk to, Tom McClintock,

565
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: it has passed. It is to Secure the Border Act passed.

566
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: So you said that in the was it was in

567
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: the I heard it was headed there an hour ago,

568
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: two nineteen to two thirteen. It passed. Yeah.

569
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: In fact, two Republicans voted against the bill. One of

570
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: them's at Californian John Dwarty. I looked him up, Pistachio

571
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: Firemer from.

572
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: He barely made it. His His election was one of

573
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: those that was hanging for like two or three weeks

574
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: before they declare the winner.

575
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's because of the farm workers. He voted

576
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: against the bill, because he's got the farm workers and

577
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: the satios.

578
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: Or maybe he's nuts they maybe maybe we need to

579
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: bring back political human sacrifice. You know.

580
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: Again, this bill, which is full of good stuff, really

581
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: it's they want to finish the border wall, they want

582
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: to hire thousands of agents.

583
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: It's Republicans.

584
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 2: So you can guess that it's better than anything that

585
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: Biden would be doing. But I don't know if I

586
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: get past the Senate to you.

587
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: No, but no, but it's time to you know, lay

588
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: down your marker. You know, each part of which side

589
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: of you on, each party ought to say, this is

590
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: what we stand for here. The Republicans want to shut

591
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: down the border and fix the situation. What are the

592
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: Democrats do? There's there They are now ten thousand people

593
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: a day are being are being detained at the board.

594
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: I've seen eleven twelve thousand other numbers well, because it

595
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: goes up every day. And this is before a title.

596
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: The hell title is forty two. I just think of

597
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: title eight. Title forty two. Title forty two to one

598
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: is expiring tonight, right Title eight is going to take over,

599
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: and that that's the asylum of provision in the law.

600
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: Title eight is what normally is in place. So they're

601
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: already getting ten to eleven twelve thousand people a day,

602
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: and that is a huge increase from normal before Title

603
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: forty two is lifted. I think you're not going to

604
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: believe what you're gonna see tomorrow. I think what you

605
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: said earlier in the show is true.

606
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: A lot of these people don't know anything about Title

607
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: forty two and Title eight, but they're getting the message

608
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: that they got to get there, right because the smugglers

609
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: are pushing that message, get there, get there. Something's happening

610
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: and you've got to act now.

611
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, it's like some sort of a fire sale.

612
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Well that the change in titles is important to us

613
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: because it drastically changes how the Border Patrol is to

614
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: deal with these people. And it allowed the Border Patrol

615
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: to turn back a lot of immigrants because of health

616
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: reasons because they invoked Title forty two. It's a World

617
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: War two provision. It was to make sure soldiers didn't

618
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: come back to the US and start spreading a lot

619
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: of weird diseases that they picked up in the war

620
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: zones and you know, from North Africa and Europe and elsewhere.

621
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: And it was used for the pandemic because they didn't

622
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: want thousands of legal aliens coming in untested unvaccinated, infected

623
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: with COVID, spreading it even more. But now that the

624
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: health emergency is over, Title forty two is over and

625
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: they can no longer turn back the immigrants for that reason.

626
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: You know, we've been covering the border on this radio

627
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: station for decades. It has never been this bad. Never, No,

628
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 2: this is It is as much screaming as we did

629
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: when Bush was president Obama was president.

630
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, nothing like this Bush.

631
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean, millions of people came in on Biden's first

632
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: year or two, and now we're looking at unbelievable, overwhelming numbers.

633
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: And I think Brandon Judd nailed it yesterday. Brandon Judd

634
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: is the head of the Border Patrol Council, the union

635
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: for the Border patrol agents. He came out on the

636
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: show yesterday. Go listen to the on demand if you

637
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: need to hear the interview he came on, writing though

638
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: at the one o'clock hour, he said, it's because the

639
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: activists have taken over inside the Biden administration. The open

640
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: Border people are making the decisions and ruling. And even

641
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: though they're trying to calm down any elements of the

642
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: media by saying bs stuff like the border is under control,

643
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: and ninety percent of migrants are being turned away.

644
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: That's what John Pierre.

645
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: I know.

646
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: They're just burning John.

647
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: Pierre's blatant lying, right, But they're trying to act like

648
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: oh and even the Times carries their water by saying, oh, now,

649
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: more stringent mergerers will be put in place. All of

650
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: this is a facade. They're gaslighting you. They want because

651
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: they call it a humanitarian crisis. These people need our

652
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: help and we have to let them in. And we

653
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: don't care that the US has immigration laws, it doesn't matter.

654
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: This overrides any of that. And they're now sending these

655
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: immigrants to little towns and cities that don't know how

656
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: to deal with it. They don't have the facilities, they

657
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: don't have the money. It's going to fill up the schools.

658
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: This is a massive invasion and it's been covered up

659
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: by most of the news media, and Biden and his

660
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: crew lies every day about it. When you have a

661
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: senile president and you have activist employees working in the

662
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: Department Home Land Security and the Border Patrol, this is

663
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: what you get. The lunatics in the Biden administration are

664
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: running things and Biden is snoring. He's taken a long

665
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: term nap here, all right. I don't think he even

666
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: knows what's going on.
