To 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: the Contrary Zone, Charlie Sikes comes by to talk about 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: Trump using the Iran war to enrich himself with stop tips. 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: Then we'll talk to California GOUBERNATOIO candidate Tom Steyer about 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: his plan to make California a better place to live. 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: Plus, as a bonus, we have such a fun conversation 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 2: with Elevate Utah's Gabby fan Layson and Jackie Morgan, who 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: stopped by to talk about mister Wonderful accusing them of 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 2: being Chinese agents and their work against data centers in Utah. 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: And you don't want to miss this, which is why 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: you're hearing me announce the show right now. But first 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: the news. So my one of the things everybody was 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: worried about is, you know, Trump seems to be saying 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: crazier shit at a much faster clip than usual lately. 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: And in addition to that, this China trip could be 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: very fragile, and everyone was worried what he was saying. 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: Of course, we got this new gem where he says 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: that the Iranian war is mostly for public relations. 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: Yes, I want to go back to how this story started. 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: You may remember a Democratic president, Barack Obama. He made 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: a deal with the Iranians to keep them from building 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: a bomb. Donald Trump spent his entire presidency saying that 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: this was a terrible deal. And you know, his Maga 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: people were like, there were palettes of cash, and it 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: was illegal and it was a bad deal. Okay, fast forward. 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is desperate for the same deal that Barack 32 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: Obama made. Now there is no world in which they're 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: going to get as good a deal because the Iranians 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: have figured out that they could just close the straits, 35 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: and so they have. And so, ladies and gentlemen, we 36 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: find ourselves in a complete disaster. And so Donald Trump 37 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: has decided that he's just going to say that none 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: of this is real. We have been here before with 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. So he says, we have nine cameras on 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: that site, on those three sites, twenty fours a day, Okay, 41 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: I didn't know. We're monitoring that. But that's something I 42 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: just feel better, he said, if I got it. Actually, 43 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: but that's it. It's more of a public relations thing 44 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: than anything else. Jesse, is it a public relations thing. 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 2: Well, it seems like it's much more that Trump doesn't 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: want to have to admit defeat there, and that is 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: public relations and everything is yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying, 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: is like, you know, at the end of the day, 49 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: they know they've done goofed to quote the Internet, and. 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: Yes, it's not good. 51 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is going to end up being 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: just a complete disaster for everyone involved. Look, it's just 53 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: would have been so easy to have not ripped up 54 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: the deal, Like this was just such a problem of 55 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: Trump's own making. And now straits are still not open, 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: oil and gas is about to get way more expensive 57 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: unless he can make a deal. We have a scarier 58 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: Ayahtola in there, who's younger and more radicalized, and it's 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: just like just yet another dumb saying Donald Trump did 60 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: of his own making to the rest of us. 61 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: Scary Iatola is gonna be I do bad day. 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: Scary Iatola is going to be all of our band 63 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: names new Scarier, Younger Hyatola. 64 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: So it sounds like a great movie trailer. 65 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I love it. 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: So we saw Pete. 67 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: Haig Sith try to get one point five trillion dollars 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: of the military budget and just man like these people 69 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: just don't care even enough to prepare a little like 70 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: his whole performance was giving. 71 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: I read this on the way here. 72 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: So this is from his his his testimony. I like 73 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, a military guy who Pete Hegseth is like 74 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: obsessed with trying to discipline. Mark Kelly says, it feels 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: like that number was just pulled out of sin air. 76 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: I bet it was, baby, I don't think feels like 77 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: I bet it. I mean, there were so many points 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: in this administration where like you think they're making something up. 79 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: They probably are. So this is a good one. The 80 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: department's own press releases the following the hearings, during which 81 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: the media was alerted Toss with wisdom. He said things 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: like the budget will ensure the United States continues to 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: maintain the world's most powerful and capable of military as 84 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: we grapple with a complex threat environment across multiple theaters. 85 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: That sounds like gay, I what is interesting about this 86 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: access situation is that he has really like there were 87 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: all these opportunities to get cheaper things, Like you'll remember 88 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians were like, let us teach you how to 89 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: do drones that are cheaper so that you don't have 90 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: to spend remember this, like you could do much cheaper 91 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: drones because because you will remember, the Ukrainians don't have money, 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: and so they've mounted this like super successful drone defense 93 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: with not much money for very inexpensive drones. Now we 94 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: know from pretty good reporting that actually there are a 95 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: lot of munitions that that our military are using that 96 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: are way more expensive than they need to be to 97 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: shoot down you know, like a lot of the stuff 98 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: where we're using like real missiles when we could be 99 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: using cheap drones. And because our president is so angry 100 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: at the Ukrainians for defending themselves against Russia, we can't 101 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: take this technology, which is unbelievably stupid. And I feel 102 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: like there are so many opportunities in this administration to 103 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: like save money or not do something stupid, and at 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: every point our president and his cabinet filled with billionaire morons, 105 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: it's like, no, no, let's just do this. The worse 106 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: more expensive way. 107 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Conservatism is really dead in this amous straation.

Go in some, ways it's 506 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 4: a silly question because After january, sixth we know is 507 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 4: going to.

Seats 523 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 4: and those two seats will make the difference between whether 524 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 4: or Not Donald trump gets Another Supreme court, justice whether 525 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 4: he controls The. Senate And republicans have done this in the, 526 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 4: past losing losing winnable seats by having you, know questionable. 527 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 5: Candidates you. 528 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Know but let's talk about that for a, minute because In, 529 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: MAINE i Think maine is different Than.

Research so people AND i know people 549 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 4: don't like to hear, this but you may, say, WELL 550 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 4: i don't want to talk about, THAT i don't want 551 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 4: to hear about, that or that doesn't. 552 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 5: Matter, well but it. 553 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 4: Matters if one hundred million dollars of negative advertising is, 554 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 4: dropped that will flip a, Sentenceee and SO i worry about. 555 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,959 Speaker 4: That but to your, point it is so important that 556 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 4: The democrats do win the midterms and then keep the 557 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 4: momentum going through twenty twenty. Eight but you had a 558 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 4: very interesting when you said that if they win and 559 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: they get their winners, seated. 560 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: That's What i'm worried. 561 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 4: About when if we ever worried about that sort of, thing, 562 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 4: before AND i think it's legitimately you raise that concern 563 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 4: that going back to your, question what are they prepared to? 564 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 4: Do you, know would they refuse you, know obviously throw 565 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 4: up bogus conspiracy theories and then refuse to seat the 566 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 4: winners of those? 567 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 5: Elections is that? Conceivable it's absolutely. 568 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: Conceivable the one thing THAT i think we've seen With 569 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: trump historically is like With january third or, Six january sixth, Six, 570 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: yeah is that, people if you, do if his elites push, 571 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: back he will ultimately do the legal. Saying not, always 572 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: but like when it comes to you, know when his elite, 573 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: said you have to tell them to go, home he 574 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: finally did. It like WHAT i think will, happen AND 575 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: i don't know what it'll look, like but my guess 576 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: is it will look something Like democrats will win Either 577 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: congress or the, set you, know The house The center are, 578 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: both and Then trump will say it's a, fake it's not, 579 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: true and Then democrats will have to prove and prove 580 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: and prove what we all know to be, true and 581 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: then he'll eventually let them do what they're supposed to 582 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: do by. Law but that's really scary even just talking 583 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: that through. 584 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 4: NO i think you're, right but also take a step 585 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: back from, that you, know, no, no, no, yeah well exactly 586 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 4: that you go through this process and at the end 587 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 4: of the, day you, know what level of confidence do 588 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 4: The american people have in the electoral system or the 589 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 4: fail or the fairness of that. System and when The american, 590 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 4: people on you, know basically because of you, know, hypertribalism 591 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 4: essentially decide that they don't really trust the democratic process, 592 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 4: anymore then then we have broken something. Fundamental and so 593 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 4: while we're focused On trump versus The democrats right, NOW 594 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 4: i think that we ought to realize That trump has 595 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 4: taken a sledgehammer to the pillars the undergirding of any democratic, 596 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 4: society which is some confidence in the rule of, law 597 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 4: confidence that the constitutional process. Works AND i think the 598 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 4: level of cynicism by the time we are through this 599 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 4: term is going to be through the. 600 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 5: Roof AND i think we're seeing signs of that. 601 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: Already, YEAH i, mean no, Question and it's just wild 602 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: to be here right.

Ground like it's a 765 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 6: pleasure for, me but it's also like primary research for 766 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 6: doing something, Well like you've got to know what is 767 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 6: on people's minds and where their hearts are to make 768 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 6: sure that what you're saying and what you're doing actually 769 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 6: reflects the needs of the people Of. 770 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: California so you have it's fire, season and it's basically 771 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: always fire. Seasons what's to solve in your? 772 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 6: Mind how do we solve that? Problem, look there are 773 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 6: two things we need to do about. Fires but let 774 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 6: me start by, Saying california is a fire. Ecosystem there 775 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 6: have been fires In california longer than there are people In. 776 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 6: California and so the critical thing is to avoid catastrophic, 777 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 6: fire and to avoid catastrophic fire around people and around. 778 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 6: Buildings and so how do we do. That we do 779 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 6: micro and we do. Macro so macro is you do control, 780 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 6: burn you reduce the dry, timber you basically, take and 781 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 6: you then. Monitor we can monitor this incredibly, well you, 782 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 6: know using drones but also from, satellites so that you 783 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 6: know when a fire, begins so that you, know so 784 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 6: that you're ahead of the. Game so that's one thing 785 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 6: you can. Do, secondly you can harden. HOUSES i, mean 786 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 6: the thing that everybody knows is you can cut the 787 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 6: vegetation five feet away from your. House and if you do, 788 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 6: that that's a dramatic. Difference but there are also ways 789 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 6: to harden a house that can get it through An 790 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 6: altadena fire or A Pacific palisates. Fire and that's something 791 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 6: that THIS i have a friend who does this for a, 792 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 6: living and basically the state should be helping people finance 793 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 6: that because if we do those two, things the macro 794 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 6: and the, micro we dramatically reduce the risk of fire 795 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 6: for insurance. Company and what we need to do is 796 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 6: reduce the, risk force the insurance companies to take that 797 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 6: into account when they're writing policies and how much they 798 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 6: charge so that cost go. Down and let me say, 799 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 6: This my friend who does this said we can reduce 800 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 6: the risk by more than ninety. Percent. Wow so DO 801 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 6: i think we're going to start by getting a ninety 802 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 6: percent reduction in home? Insurance? No but DO i think 803 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 6: that that implies a dramatic. Reduction. Yes and that's where 804 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 6: The governor Of california really can come, in you, know 805 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 6: it is really the governor's job is to stand up 806 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 6: For californians against interests that are too powerful for, them 807 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 6: so against insurance, companies to insist that they, pay but 808 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 6: also to insist that they take into a count the 809 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 6: facts on the. Ground when we've reduced risks, dramatically you've got, 810 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 6: it you, know going and saying you've got to take 811 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 6: this into account when you're writing home. Insurance you can't 812 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 6: have people do it spending all this time and effort 813 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 6: and money to harden their house and not taken into. 814 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 6: Account and SO i see that as this is a straightforward. 815 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 6: Task we need to reduce the real, risk and then 816 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 6: we need to get the insurance companies to take it 817 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,399 Speaker 6: into account so the cost of home insurance goes. 818 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 1: Down homelessness is like a real, problem a real problem In. 819 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: California what is your? 820 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 6: Plan, So, molly my going in thesis is, this nobody 821 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 6: gets well on the.

Possible the strategy we have right 834 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 6: now is shelters and then permanent assisted. Housing people don't 835 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 6: like to go to. Shelters homeless people don't like to 836 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 6: go to shelters because they're, dangerous they can't bring their, 837 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 6: dogs they have no. PRIVACY a lot of homeless people 838 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 6: would rather be on the street than be in a. 839 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 6: Shelter and permanent housing takes seven years and it costs 840 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 6: between seven hundred and fifty ninth a million dollars a 841 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 6: key and fifteen. Thousand you're, Crazy and What i'm talking 842 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 6: about is something very. Different WHAT i want to do 843 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 6: is emergency interim, housing basically having you get a room 844 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 6: with a, key can bring your, dog you don't have 845 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 6: to be. Clean there's common, food you, know dining, facilities laundry. 846 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 6: Facilities it's basically saying it's much much, cheaper it's we 847 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 6: can do it much much, faster and it's, saying after seven, 848 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 6: years it's created so many problems for, everyone you'll be 849 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 6: dealing with those. Forever and so what we've seen, is, 850 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 6: look this is the most compassionate thing we can do for. 851 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 6: People this is the most effective thing we can do 852 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 6: for people. This it saves a lot of. Money but 853 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 6: the other thing is this Money california needs to build, 854 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 6: housing AND i want to build it densely around public. 855 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 6: TRANSPORTATION i want to create walkable neighborhoods that are fun and, 856 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,279 Speaker 6: exciting and they've all to be all those, things they 857 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 6: have to be, safe and so it's really clear that 858 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 6: we need, safe walkable neighborhoods that people can get a 859 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 6: huge kick out. Of so it's solving the homelessness. Problem 860 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 6: dealing with it compassionately and effectively is something that's critical 861 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 6: for the future Of california and, cities and that's WHY 862 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 6: i take it. Serious BUT i think this is actually the. 863 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 1: Answer in Southern california that seems like a pretty heavy. 864 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 6: Lift, well which part the building around public? Transportation? 865 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: Transports the public, Transport, WELL i. 866 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 6: Think why do you say, that BECAUSE i think that you, 867 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 6: know they have our. CITIES i think the question the 868 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 6: alternative to a large extent is doing sprawl, right go 869 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 6: to a place that doesn't have a lot of existing 870 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 6: infrastructure and just keep spreading. Out AND i think for 871 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 6: from the, state what that leads to is really long. 872 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 1: Commutes, right and people can't and they don't have, cars and. 873 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 6: And so then you know that there's no public. Transportation 874 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 6: so by, definition you're doing an hour and a half. 875 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 6: Commute by, definition you're the uber driver for your, kids 876 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 6: you know You and it's very. Isolating AND i think 877 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 6: what we we're seeing is people want walkable neighborhoods with 878 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 6: communities and a vibrant you, know. 879 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 1: Downtown high speed rail has been a real that's been 880 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: like a dream of at least all of, ours to 881 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: have some kind of like why do you think that 882 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: project has gotten so? Derailed, WELL i. 883 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 6: Think there was multiple problems with the way that. Project 884 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 6: i'm a huge fan of public. Transportation, Yeah i'm a 885 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 6: huge fan of high speed.

Proposed 993 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,920 Speaker 7: it's forty thousand, acres which is twice the size Of. 994 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 7: Manhattan it is, giant and it is also sitting in 995 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 7: a location that is directly on top of The Great 996 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 7: Salt lakes, watershed so it is miles away from The 997 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 7: Great Salt lake and. 998 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 1: Argument the eight how many ac is it going to? 999 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,919 Speaker 7: Be forty thousand? Acres, yeah it's very. Large it's very 1000 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 7: hard to like even conceptualize how big that is because 1001 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,400 Speaker 7: it is twice the size Of. Manhattan there's been like 1002 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 7: so many analysis of what this looks. Like but it's 1003 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 7: bigger Than, WASHINGTON dc and you can see it from 1004 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,840 Speaker 7: space when they build, it like that's how big it's gonna. 1005 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 6: Be so. 1006 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,399 Speaker 7: Yeah so it sits right on top of The Great 1007 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 7: Salt lake, watershed which we already. Had The Great Salt 1008 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:29,399 Speaker 7: lake is already in a climate. Disaster over the last few, 1009 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,799 Speaker 7: decades The Great Salt lake has been slowly drying, up 1010 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 7: and underneath The Great Salt lake sits a lot of toxic, 1011 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 7: chemicals and as The Great Salt lake is drying, up 1012 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 7: those toxic chemicals get released into the, air and so 1013 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 7: having another impact directly upstream from The Great Salt lake 1014 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:51,359 Speaker 7: will cause even more environmental disasters than we already. Have 1015 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:55,840 Speaker 7: and part of that analysis that we're no environmental experts, 1016 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 7: here but some environmental scientists In utah have, done is 1017 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 7: that that will cause the temperature to rise as much 1018 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 7: as four to five degrees during the day when this is, 1019 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 7: running and that would cause all of the like evaporation 1020 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 7: that needs to happen in cooling overnight to completely, stop 1021 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 7: which causes even more ecological problems for the. Area and 1022 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,080 Speaker 7: that's not just the area In Box Elder county where 1023 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 7: this is, proposed but this is statewide For. 1024 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,320 Speaker 8: Utah this would have giant. 1025 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 1: Impacts is the federal government doing anything to protect you 1026 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 1: guys from? This like it would use, electricity it would use, 1027 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 1: water it would fuck up your environment on the micro 1028 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: and the. 1029 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 6: Macro. 1030 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, uh is the federal government doing anything to protect? 1031 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: RIGHT i, know the federal government doesn't give a. FUCK 1032 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 1: i mean it's the state, government which might they're also completely, 1033 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: craven but might be a little. 1034 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 6: Better. 1035 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 7: Yeah so it's kind of a complicated. Structure obviously with 1036 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,000 Speaker 7: any sort of like state agencies and local control soft 1037 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 7: it gets really. Complicated so we have a state board 1038 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 7: called The Military Installation Development. Authority they're supposed to like 1039 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 7: manage development around military, installations but they have a ton 1040 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 7: of power and kind of have expanded from, that and 1041 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,080 Speaker 7: so they're the ones that approve projects like. This they 1042 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,839 Speaker 7: approved this project before the public even knew about. It 1043 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 7: they admitted basically that they were trying to keep this 1044 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 7: out of the public, eye and they gave it to 1045 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 7: the county commissioners if for the county that this would 1046 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 7: be proposed in to like essentially rubber stamp. 1047 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 8: It they don't really have any. 1048 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 7: Control if they voted against, it the state would have overridden, 1049 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 7: them and so they voted for. It so in some, ways, 1050 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 7: yes there are still like those you, know state and 1051 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 7: federal environmental sort of checks that they have to go 1052 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:39,439 Speaker 7: through over the next. 1053 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,439 Speaker 8: Year but the leaders in our. 1054 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 7: State as in many other red, states have basically no 1055 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 7: incentive to want to do. This Our senate president is 1056 00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 7: on the board OF maida that the state authority that approved. 1057 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 7: It Our speaker of Our house he owns several hundred 1058 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 7: acres right near this data center and has you, know 1059 00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 7: potentially had that you, know property value going up so 1060 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 7: much like between like two and sixteen, times depending on 1061 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 7: what you look at across the. Country we have other 1062 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 7: members of our legislature that also stand to, benefit you, 1063 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 7: know financially from, this and so there's not a lot 1064 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 7: of folks that have decision making power in our state 1065 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 7: that are incentivized to want to you, know stop this from. 1066 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 7: Happening but luckily for you, know the people of the 1067 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 7: world And, utah the citizens here are not happy about, 1068 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 7: it and so really the only people trying to Protect 1069 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 7: utah Is utahn's and our, leadership and everyone else is 1070 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 7: kind of rolling over because they don't have any incentive 1071 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 7: to do.
