Anyway, 107 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: My point is I just always feel like this time 108 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: of year just flies behind. It's so frigging busy. But 109 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: the rest of the year is it's just it's everything's 110 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: got its own timber to it right, its own, its own, 111 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, Aura, And this year is just a weird. 112 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: It's the hustle and bustle. I guess is why they 113 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: call it the hustle and bustle. You know, Chris, you 114 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: call us the B team. I think of as more 115 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: as the special ops team. We have to go. Oh, 116 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: I like that I have to come in to take 117 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: care of things when when not everybody else can. I 118 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: like that we're Radio team six. There you go, Yeah, 119 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: that's good, that's good. The other thing happens this time 120 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: of year, too, is a lot of people are trying 121 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: to get medical things done. Right now, I'm in that 122 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: boat because my deductible is met. So my wife and 123 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: I had a lot of stuff this year, right, a 124 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: lot of just a lot of medical stuff. This year, 125 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: my deductible is met. We've also capped our or we've 126 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: we've maxed out our out of pocket stuff. So anything 127 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: else that we do from here on out is one 128 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent covered by insurance. Oh what are you going 129 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 1: to get? I'm gonna have my heart restarted next week? Seriously. Yeah. Yeah, 130 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: So my heart keeps going into a fib, which is 131 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: pretty common, but it's just it's it's just out of rhythm, right, 132 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: and I don't like it. A lot of people live 133 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: with it. My brother lives with a FIB, my mother 134 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: lives with a fib. It's in my family. But I've 135 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: done it. I did it once earlier this year too, 136 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: where I had I had to be restarted. So this 137 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: time we're gonna restart it. We're gonna go on some 138 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: what they call pacing medication. But I told my cardiologists, 139 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, let's do it, because I had the option. 140 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Do you want to just try to deal with it 141 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: or do you want to have it? Do you want 142 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: to do a defibrillation again, and I said, well, it's 143 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: paid for it. Now, let's get it done. If I 144 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: can do it before the first of the years, let's 145 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: get it done. I said, it's too bad that this 146 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: has to weigh into my medical decisions. But it's it's 147 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: the truth. I go. It's it's the practicality of the matter. 148 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: It's the reality that I have to worry about this 149 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: because otherwise it's like six eight grands something like that. 150 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: So this is the time of the year that you 151 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: can pretend that you live in one of the other 152 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: thirty five or thirty six civilized countries that has healthcare 153 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: for everybody.

That is next. 222 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: Chris merrill in for John A. Kenk If. I am 223 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere in your eyeheart rady web. We 224 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: had years ago, California was leading the way when it 225 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: came to legalization right. I don't think we were the 226 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: first state to legalize marijuana, or did we try it 227 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: and then we backed off of it, or I can't 228 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: remember exactly how they went, Mark, what was do you 229 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: remember the timeline, like we legalized it and then it 230 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: was it was among the first. I didn't live here 231 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: at the time. I moved here from Washington four years ago, 232 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: where it was legal as well. And the differences between 233 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: the two states is really hilarious. They're still on lockdown here. 234 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: It's it's like a supermax prison when you go into 235 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: a shop here. California was the first in ninety six. 236 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: In ninety six, but then eric didn't they didn't it 237 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: get like dialed back or challenge in courts or something 238 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: like that, and then it was I'm sure, I'm sure 239 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: that's how it went. But I know, medicinally it's been 240 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: legal since ninety six, and then recreational it just happened 241 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: within the last couple of years. Yeah, okay, So that 242 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: that job's with what I recall too. As we all know, 243 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: marijuana is a gateway drug. If you try marijuana one time, 244 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: you will immediately be addicted to heroin. As we all know. 245 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: If you take one puff. As soon as you puff, puff, 246 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: then pass. You can't wait to get on the horse. 247 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: You want that. You want that crack rock, and you'll 248 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: do anything to get it, without ever even knowing how 249 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: to get a crack rock. You'll want crack rock because 250 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: you tried marijuana. We know how marijuana works. It's a 251 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: gateway drug. And so now that we have I'm joking 252 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: now that because somebody's out there screaming at me, going 253 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot, it's true, but I'm joking now that 254 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: we have legalized marijuana, that's just a gateway anti prohibition law. 255 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: It only makes sense now that we've legalized marijuana that 256 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: we're going to be pushing for legalization of everything else. Now. 257 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: For some people, they've wanted to legalize all drugs for 258 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: a very long time, and there are reasonable arguments to 259 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: be had, philosophical arguments about being able to do what 260 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: you want with your own body and what you know, 261 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: whether or not you want the government controlling that. But 262 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: I think most of us believe that there's probably a 263 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: middle ground here, right that, Okay, we can see legalized 264 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: legalizing marijuana, but probably not legalizing cocaine. For instance. Some 265 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: people are gonna say no, no, we have to. We're 266 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: in open society, and some people will say, well, we 267 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: should have legalize marijuana, but I think a lot of 268 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: us fall in the middle where we go. Marijuana legalization 269 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: is is all right, Cocaine is problematic, all right, So 270 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: I think we get that. What about the magic mushrooms? Yeah, 271 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: magic mushrooms are interesting to me because I'm seeing that 272 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: more and more people are using medicinal psychedelics like magic mushrooms. 273 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: They're using these as part of therapy, but also some 274 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: people who don't necessarily need psychedelic therapy are using magic mushrooms. 275 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: For Coachella, California is looking at since we've legalized marijuana, 276 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: maybe we take the next step and legalize the magic mushrooms. 277 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: To decriminalize magic mushrooms in California from Kathy, The measure 278 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't allow dispensaries to sell mushrooms, but it would prevent 279 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: police from arresting people for possession of plant based psychedelics. 280 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: Kile's Rachel met a Tough live in Santa Clarita with 281 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: more on the new proposal. Rachel jel, Hey, Eric, do 282 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: you have that? Can you pull that audio up? The 283 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: sales has been introduced to decriminalize magic mushrooms, naw rachel mica. 284 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: This would allow people to use limited amounts of certain 285 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: psychedelic drugs, and supporters say it's an important step in 286 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: the treatment of mental illness and addiction, but skeptics are 287 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: concerned it could be dangerous. It's a second attempt to 288 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: pass legislation decriminalizing the use and possession of plant based 289 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: psychedelics like magic mushrooms and ayahuasca for anyone twenty one 290 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: years and older. It does, not, however, allow for the 291 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: sale of the drug. California Senator Scott Wiener introduced SA 292 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: So hold on, we're legaliz we can't sell it, which 293 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: means you can't buy it, but it can be I 294 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: guess that means it has to be homegrown. Are we Suddenly? 295 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: Is everyone in the Central Valley that has a cow 296 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: going to be growing their own magic mushrooms under their 297 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: patties every day?

Oh, 301 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: that's kind of decriminalization then, right, that's different than legalization. 302 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to read between the lines. It's a 303 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: good thing. I took a horticulture class, so Eric is um. 304 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: Eric is my new roommate.

This 318 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: is interesting, though, doesn't this argument sound exactly like the 319 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: argument for marijuana, Like there are people that are off 320 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: of opioids and other pain medications because of medicinal marijuana. 321 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: There are people that are able to get through because 322 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: they get through the day because of marijuana. It treats PTSD. 323 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: It does like all of a sudden, every argument we 324 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: made for marijuana is being made from magic, mushrooms and 325 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: other psychedelics. Right. This is And the other thing too, 326 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: is that you hear that they're like, look, shrooms aren't 327 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: the problem, and it's heroin. It's not like heroin. It's 328 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: like the war on drugs is pick a drug worse 329 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: than the one you've got now, and then the one 330 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: that's not as bad. We ought to legalize. I'm not 331 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: so sure I'm crazy about this. I do think I have. 332 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: I've seen a little bit about people using the psychedelics 333 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: for therapy, and I think there's merit to that should 334 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: be studied. Further, I'm not so sure about legalizing, although, 335 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: as Mark pointed out, decriminalization maybe the initial goal, especially 336 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: when it comes to medicinal use. Well, you've heard of 337 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: the Overton window. This is more like the Nibisco window. Oh. 338 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: I like where you're going with this? Do you see 339 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: why I'm headed here? It got you there? Okay? I 340 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: like where I like where you got with that one absolutely. 341 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk about homelessness. We'll do that 342 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: here in just a few moments. As the new mayor 343 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: has decided to make this major piece of her agenda 344 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: and she's following up on some of the promises that 345 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: she made on the campaign trail to focus on homelessness. 346 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: But will her plans help that's next Chris Maryland for 347 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: Jenna Kent.

Karen Bass has been the mayor for what 358 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: less than two weeks now, and she is really making 359 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: this the homelessness a huge part of her I guess 360 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: we say legacy. She's trying to build her legacy around this. 361 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: It was part of the big campaign push as well. 362 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: So she's following up and says this is going to 363 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: be a priority, and it seems to be a priority 364 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: going forward. Blake trolley out of the Cafeie news room 365 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: and she met a kind of a big announcement today 366 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: as we're talking about getting some people off the streets. 367 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: That's right. The mayor announced her Inside Safe plan today. 368 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: This is her first major plan to get homeless people 369 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: off the streets and in this case, into motel rooms. 370 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: The Mayor's been teasing this plan since last week when 371 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: she announced her state of emergency. Under this plan, the 372 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: city is going to go out idea the most critical 373 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: homeless camps and offer people at those homeless camps motel rooms. 374 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: People will be able to stay in those motel rooms 375 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: get services. This includes mental healthcare, drug treatment until permited 376 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: housing becomes available. The mayor state is today. She knows 377 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: housing will take months to develop. She knows it's going 378 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: to be a while till she can get that affordable 379 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: and permited housing built. This is a place for people 380 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: to go wall that housing is being built and the 381 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: work is already underway, Chris. Interestingly, she made the announcement 382 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: today about the inside Safe program, but the city started 383 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: the program technically yesterday. The city says that went out 384 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: to an encampment off Kawanga under the one oh one 385 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: and began offering motel rooms. An officials say they had 386 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: a ninety percent acceptance rate, so ninety percent of the 387 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: people that they offered those motel rooms and services to 388 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: accepted those. But again, as for the pace of this program, 389 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: it was a major announcement. I still would not say 390 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: that this is going to be an explosive launch. Here's 391 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: the mayor basket. We'll go to bite one. Here's Mayor 392 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: Bast's talking about the availability of beds as she gets 393 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: this program going. The service providers have identified the beds 394 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: and so we know that there are specific motels where 395 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: people can go to in the best of all worlds. 396 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: What I would like to see is us to be 397 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: able to do this citywide, but we're not at that 398 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: capacity just now. It's going to take us a minute 399 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: to ramp up. I think this is day nine, no 400 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: day ten of being mayor. So Ken jokes there that 401 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: you know it hasn't been long and you know, as 402 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: you say, this was a major component, of course of 403 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: her campaign, and I think anybody wanting to take the 404 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: head seat here in LA would have to make this 405 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: their center issue. And the county, of course, Chris, yesterday 406 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: we heard the county has jumped on board. The county 407 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors voted yesterday to help with this emergency, 408 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: agreeing to actually put county service department heads and city 409 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: meetings and also have county staff work with city teams 410 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: to pair people with services. So that leaves us with 411 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: the big question is the state gonna get more involved 412 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: with all of this? And I think the state's going 413 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: to going to have to, I mean Bass signaled this morning, 414 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: LA it doesn't sound like it is going to be 415 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: a loan for long if we can go to by 416 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: number two. And last night I attended the inauguration of 417 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: the new mayor of Long Beach, Rex Richardson, who said 418 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: in his inaugural address that today he will declare a 419 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: state of emergency in the cities in the county's second 420 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: largest city. We're getting calls now from other cities about 421 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: our approach, what we're doing. So where does that leave 422 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: the state? Well, Mercedes Marquez, she's mayor Basses Housing chief. 423 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: I spoke with her on state involvement. If we could 424 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: go to buy three. Do you hope the state gets 425 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: involved with this? I know yesterday the mayor went down 426 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: to the county. She pleaded with the county. Are you 427 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: hoping the state gets involved this? This is obviously a 428 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: state wide issue. We expect the state will be involved. 429 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: They have different types of programs. The mayor has already 430 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: been in touch with them, and in fact, I'm meeting 431 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: with the state tomorrow. If it seems like she was 432 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: answering that questions fast, Chris, she was because like, yes, 433 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: she had to run to a TV interview, so I 434 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: was holding her up on accident so that the interview 435 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: actually got cut off right after that and she had 436 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: to run into a live TV interview she had agreed 437 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: to do. Oh, I'm really sorry that the TV didn't 438 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: get what they wanted. I feel getting their thing terrible. 439 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: Blake has so many questions to follow up. First of all, 440 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: do we know what the costs are going to be 441 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: short term? Long term? I know that these have been 442 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: kicked around, but let's kind of go over right. Yeah, 443 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: So this program we've been offered a number that is 444 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: this will cost under one hundred million dollars. We haven't 445 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: been able to nail down a specific price. I talked 446 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: to Bass's staff about it today, wasn't able to get 447 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: a specific price tag. They are confidently saying that this 448 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: will cost under one hundred million dollars. But again, the 449 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: county is also going to be taking on some of 450 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: this budget. The county right now is operating on a 451 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: five hundred thirty million dollar budget. That budget was put 452 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: into effect July first of last year, runs through June 453 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: thirtieth of next year, so it's a one year it's 454 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: one fiscal year budget. But the county's going to be 455 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: having a meeting and I'm sure the city, I'm sure 456 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: this is going to be discussed with city budget. The 457 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: County's going to have meetings two months out and six 458 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: months out to assess if they're going to or if 459 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: the county is going to need more money. So we 460 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: could see the price tag at least with the county 461 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: go up as far as as as homelessness. And then 462 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: of course we hear there they're signaling they're talking with 463 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: the state, so uh, you know, this could also possibly 464 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: affect the state budget, depending on how much the state 465 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: gets involved. And I'm not surprised to hear that other 466 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: cities are deciding to take this approach. Yesterday at the 467 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: county boarder supervisors, meaning one of the supervisors touched on 468 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: some cities being concerned that if LA declares a state 469 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: of emergency, they might get short changed with county resources. 470 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: So could other cities do this just in a response 471 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: to try to keep up with what LA is getting. 472 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: I think that's that's likely a possibility. It's my Cobalt 473 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: Champo cynicism that comes out all of a sudden when 474 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: they tell you, oh, it'll be under one hundred million dollars, 475 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: I think we better figure it's going to be two 476 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. So I know that's that's not your report, 477 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: but that's sort of where I am on all of this. 478 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: Whatever a politician says that a price tag is going 479 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: to come in under something, you better double whatever it 480 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: is that they said that it's going to come in under. 481 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: It's like you know when you sit at a restaurant 482 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: and there's no prices on the menu and you start wet, 483 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: ye say, how much is this in the meters? It's 484 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: less than you expect. Okay, Well, don't always sticks with 485 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: the chicken. J always stick with the chicken. You don't 486 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: see prices, stay away from the beef about and the 487 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: seafood market price right that day? Yeah, so today though, 488 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, at the meeting, somebody did ask about police involvement. 489 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: That's one other element of this that I think everybody's wondering. 490 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: You build the housing, you get the services, but what 491 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: if people don't agree to do it? And so far, 492 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: the bear has really stayed away from from, you know, 493 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: committing any sort of enforcement on any of this. This 494 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: is of course all voluntary. They're claiming they've had success 495 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: with outreach workers and they gave us this number yesterday 496 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: that the mayor's housing chief, the one you just heard from, 497 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: she's the one you gave me this ninety percent compliance. Right, 498 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: So if they are getting that, then as this program moves, 499 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: you know you were asking before the break, how effective 500 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: could this be? Well, if they're getting ninety percent at 501 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: each encampment, and this will be effective, but time will tell. Yeah, Blake, 502 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: how does it work? With Blake Trolley in the Canfie 503 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: news room, he's been working on this great story about 504 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: Mayor Bass and how she's dealing with homelessness. How does 505 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: this work with the motels? Do they have agreements with motels? Yeah, 506 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: we're walking in with a wad of cash and saying 507 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: I'd like to check in for a night or two. 508 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: How does it work out? That's well pretty much. The 509 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: city at this point tells me they haven't actually master 510 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: released any of the motels. So right now they've identified 511 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: motels that are allowing for this. They're allowing them to 512 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: put homeless people inside. And one, you know, one thing 513 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: to keep in mind is some of these motels may 514 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: be hurting for business. This could be a good opportunity 515 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: for them to fill some rooms up. So right now 516 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: these motels are being filled as the city looks from 517 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: weirdly enough, as the city looks for motels to master lease, 518 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: and as the city gets affordable and permanent housing built. Yeah, 519 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm just imagining if I'm somebody who had booked a 520 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 1: vacation and that is not shown on the brochure, you know, oh, 521 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: he had a triple A rating, and then you find out, well, 522 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: but they also have seven people who who are here 523 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: with homelessness, and maybe it's the good homeless and maybe 524 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: it's the bad homeless that are in that motel with you. 525 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: So I feel like I feel like that could be 526 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: one of those real vacation downers for somebody if you 527 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: get stuck in one of the hotels or motels with 528 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: the with the bad homeless. Again, my guess is that 529 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: My guess is that the motels that are doing this, 530 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: they're probably hurting, you know, and this is probably a 531 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: good business opportunity for them, and uh, you know, it 532 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: is all positive in the sense that people want to 533 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: see homeless people be moved off the streets. And again, 534 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: what Karen Bass is doing is what she said, she's 535 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: trying to bring, you know, multiple levels of government to 536 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: the table. One of the interesting elements of this new 537 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: plan is some of these services we talk about mental 538 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: health services, drug treatment services. The county has now said 539 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: they will bring to these motels or to these affordable 540 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: housing places as well, or temporary housing places as well, 541 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: because it sounds like it'll be more effective to bring 542 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: the services to them as opposed to they live at 543 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: a motel and up to them to go seek out 544 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: these services. Yeah, I certainly see how that how that 545 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: would play out. I wonder what happens with the city. 546 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: And this is just again the cynic in me blake 547 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: what happens to the city when somebody takes it, takes 548 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: the city up on their offer and says, okay, I'll 549 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: go stay at the the travel center or whatever we're 550 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: calling the motel where somebody staying and they go in 551 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: and it's a it's a motel that has been hard 552 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: up for business and maybe for a good reason, and 553 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: that homeless person comes away with bedbugs. You know, didn't 554 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: go into the place with the bedbug issues. It comes 555 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: out of the place with bedbug issues. Is the city 556 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: gonna be on the hook for that sort of thing? 557 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: I feel like there's some liability that goes into some 558 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: of this when you're just meandering into a motel, or 559 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: maybe it's just the same liability that the motel would 560 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: have with any customer. Well, I know the city stands 561 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: on all of this, is that they're hoping that the 562 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: temporary housing is of quality. So I think when it 563 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: comes to working with motels, they have been a little 564 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: bit more selective, and I think that is part of 565 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: their process right now and identifying motels all right, I'd 566 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: like to be on that committee who just wanders around 567 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: sleeping at various hotels to determine which one is okay, 568 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: many bars good at this one. Bring somebody in here 569 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: that's good? All right? Blake Trolley out of the CAFI 570 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: news room. Blake, thanks for the update. Good to hear 571 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: from you. Yeah, thanks, Chris. Huge deal in the soccer 572 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: world as we lost an immaculate receiver and Argentinean soccer players. 573 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: Footballers had to be airlifted out of their own party. 574 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: That's next, Chris Merrill And for John Ken CAF, I 575 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: am six forty. It's more stimulating talk. We're live everywhere 576 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: and that I hurt Radio app. I'll talk about that 577 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: spending bill here in the next hour. I know that 578 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: sounds boring as hell. I'm gonna try to unboard it. 579 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: But one point seven trillion dollars and some of that 580 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: is going to Ukraine. Some of that might be going 581 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: to your retirement, some of that may just be going 582 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that we don't have another repeat of 583 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: January sixth oh the next hour. I didn't want to 584 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: bring this up. I'm a sports fan, but I won't 585 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: get into any exes and Oas I watched the World Cup, 586 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: and I think last time I was on, I think 587 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: I was in for Gary and Shannon, but I was 588 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: talking about how we just don't care about soccer until 589 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: it's World Cup, and World Cup is kind of like 590 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: the Olympics, like nobody cares about fencing. My apologies to 591 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: those of you in that niche sport that is fencing 592 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: in America. You know, it's just not a very popular sport. 593 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, the Olympics come out and 594 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: suddenly we're all wrapped, our attention is wrapped, and we 595 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: all become fencing experts, right, like, oh, it's Parey was terrible. 596 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: Oh it's horrible. Oh, on guard. The same thing with soccer, 597 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: and soccer is growing in popularity here in the United States, 598 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: but let's face it, it ain't American football as far 599 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: as popularity goes. But I do love watching that World 600 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: Cup and I was watching. I watched the final. I 601 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: turned the final match on in the second half, and 602 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I did, because and it was 603 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: it was kind of early for us, so I turned 604 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: it on in the second half, So glad I did. 605 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: I turned it on in Argentina. Argentina Argentina was up 606 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: two nil and suddenly there's a penalty on the French player. 607 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, in soccer, the person who's penalized 608 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: doesn't take the penalty shot. They canna have anybody do it. 609 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: Not like in American basketball, where if you're fouled you 610 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: take your final shots. No, in soccer, it's like, oh, 611 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: penalty on you, and now there's gonna be a penalty kick, 612 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: so we give that to our best player. Anyway, I 613 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: was watching that and France scored, made it two one. 614 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 1: A minute and a half later, France scored again. They 615 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: hadn't scored in eighty two minutes and suddenly they scored 616 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: twice in two in a minute and a half. It 617 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: was crazy. Goes into extra time, there's a couple of 618 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: goals and extra time. It was thrilling, It was a blast, 619 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: It was fantastic. It went to a penalty kick. H 620 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: what do you call that? Eric, penalty kickoff? Yeah, penalty 621 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: kicks all right, sounds like a shootout right in hockey. 622 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: It's like sudden disk shootout. Yeah, and uh. In Argentina 623 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: one the French had their a couple of their kicks 624 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: block and one went wide. He missed the he missed 625 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: the broadside of a barn well that, of course in 626 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: gay Peavy has turned into total racism. French Football Federation 627 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: condemning the online racist abuse directed toward its players and 628 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: pledging to take action after they were targeted as the 629 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: team lost to Argentina on penalties in Sunday's World Cup 630 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: final in Qatar. The BBC reporting on Monday that France 631 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: forward Kingsley Kaman and midfielder is it Orlene Chumainy. I 632 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: believe it's how you say his name. I'd probably have 633 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: slaughtered that were subjected to online racist abuse after missing 634 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: their penalties in the final. Um those two players are 635 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: back and so as one might imagine, the racist in 636 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: Paris came right out to say, evidently they missed the 637 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: kicks because of their skin color. So there you go, 638 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: seeing we're not the only Delta Bravo still floating around 639 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: out there. Meanwhile, in Argentina where they did win, they 640 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: had their celebratory parade. Problem is it got crazy as 641 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: they're taking their their double decker bus and you've got 642 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: the players riding on top of the bus. People were 643 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: trying to jump onto the bus like off of the 644 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: bridge overpass trying to jump onto the bus below so 645 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: they could be with the players. Eric, I think you 646 00:33:45,160 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: got audio this, don't you? These guys all right, I 647 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: was kind of expecting to hear more of a splat sound, 648 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: but I didn't. Just the same you hear the crowd 649 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: kind of go oh exactly, yeah. Yeah. It got so 650 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: wild that they had to they had to evacuate the 651 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: players from their own victory parade and Buenos Aires by helicopter. 652 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: They had to be choppered out from their own celebratory parade. Well, yeah, 653 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: there was four million people there and evidently all of 654 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: them wanted a piece of messy, right, yeah, run, they said, go, yeah, 655 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: you gotta get to the choppa off you go. Just wild, man. 656 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: It's I can't imagine that in the United States. When 657 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: our players do well, we get we're like, wow, they 658 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,919 Speaker 1: did really great, and then they go on a boat 659 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 1: parade and they start drunkenly throwing the trophy between boats. 660 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: In Argentina, people go and they want to start, I guess, 661 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: attacking the players. It makes a perfect sense. Well, Chris, 662 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: don't forget. LA was robbed of two championship parades in 663 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty with the Lakers and Dodgers winning a championship. 664 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: So you can imagine what would have happened if they 665 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: had a combined parade. Oh, that's true. That is true. 666 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: That's a good point. Maybe we just bring it all together. 667 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: They should have, but obviously COVID kind of ruined all 668 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: of that, and right, can't parade through with masks on, 669 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: I guess. And then real quick, here you see Franco 670 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: Harris died. Franco was a running back for the Steelers 671 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: during their four Super Bowl runs in the seventies. Terry 672 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: Bradshaw was quarterback, Franco Harris was the receiver, or excuse me, 673 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: was the running back. Franco Harris is the guy that 674 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: made the what's been called the Immaculate Reception where the 675 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: Bradshaw's pass was horrible, bounces off I think it was 676 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: a Cowboys player, right, and then ends up in the 677 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: hands of Franco Harris who ends up running around all 678 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: of the other Cowboys and into the end zone. And 679 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: it was just considered by many to be one of 680 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: the greatest plays in NFL history. The fiftieth anniversary of 681 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception would be Friday. Franco died today, seventy 682 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: two years old, so he joins some other celebrities this 683 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: year like Christie Alley and Christine McPhee from Fleetwood Mac 684 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: and Jerry Lee Lewis, the guy that played Hagrid in 685 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter movies, and Queen Elizabeth. Franco Harris is 686 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: up there with the rest of them. Probably probably settles 687 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: in between Christine McVeagh and Queen Elizabeth for popularity. I 688 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: would put him ahead of qwe two. All right, let's 689 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: talk that spending bill and what's in it for you? 690 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: That's next, Chris Meryl and for John and Ken. Okay, 691 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: if I am six forty, we're live everywhere in your 692 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app.
