Is Ken with us? 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: It says he's connected by now he would have objected 10 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: to something. Just keep going, keep going, I'll figure it out. 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: That's well, that's inspiring. Well, you've got a pile of 12 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: papers in there. You got a story to talk about 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: there in somewhere. Sure, sure I could, or I could 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 1: just you know, let the silence hang over all. 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: This is good. 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't like the silence. That'll do well for me. 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Why was the show silent today? You got to talk 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: to Eric? I don't know. This is okay. Among the 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: things we have coming up later in the show. Oh, 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Andy Bills. Andy Bells published an 21 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: op ed editorial, and well it was in the Wittier 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: Daily News. I guess it was in the Southern California 23 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: Newsgroup papers and Andy Bailes is the man who runs 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: the the mission, the Union Mission, Union Rescue Mission on 25 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: skid Row. We talk about him frequently because he is 26 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: one of the very few voices of reason and rationality. 27 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: His Union Rescue Mission have helped a lot of homeless 28 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: people and actually been successful in getting them back on track. 29 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: And he saw this housing first philosophy come years ago, 30 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: and he predicted it was going to be a disaster. 31 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: He told everybody it was going to be a disaster. 32 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: They ignored him. And now the disaster has happened. We 33 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: have tens of thousands of people on the street and 34 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: thousands dying, two thousand plus a year. And it takes 35 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: about five years to build a single housing unit. So 36 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: during that five years to build one unit, it eight 37 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: thousand people die in the streets. And he has this 38 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: up ed piece we're describing, you know how he got here. 39 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: How suddenly these homeless executives, these activists got together and said, 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: we have a new idea. It's going to be called 41 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: housing first. And this is what's going to get enough 42 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: with people who manage homelessness like Andy Bales. We are 43 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: going to solve homelessness because Andy says, what you have 44 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: to do is provide them with some immediate shelter of 45 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: some kind. And they said, no, no, no, no, that's 46 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: the old fashioned way. Don't you know. Times have changed, 47 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: things are different. Now it's housing first. Wow, what do 48 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: we have now? Now we got in the county, we 49 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: have seventy thousand bodies lining the streets and they're on Fenton. 50 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: It'll end they're dying by the thousands. And all these 51 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: experts were wrong. And I wonder, see, this is what 52 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm This is a big question I have with almost 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: every story we do. Are they stupid or are they corrupt? Uh? 54 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: Or are they both? Does one lead to the other, 55 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: because what they've done is they had a theory that 56 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: would ensure many more millions of dollars of tax money 57 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: come pouring in, you know, to build housing. And so 58 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: they got that there was a reward even though the 59 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: theory is a failure. It's an Housing first is a 60 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: flat out failure. If you see anybody say otherwise, they're stupid, 61 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: or they're lying, or maybe they're corrupt. Housing first is 62 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: a failure. But its side effect is it's made a 63 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: lot of people rich in the homeless industrial complex. They're rich. 64 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: They guilted everybody into passing two taxes, one in LA 65 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: County and one in LA City tax so many of 66 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: us are paying both taxes, billions of dollars going into 67 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: the system. Clearly it's a failure. We have more homeless 68 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: than ever, and now it's so overwhelming. Nobody knows what 69 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: to do and there's like no end in sight. Because 70 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: the original theory was extremely damaging. And sometimes you can 71 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: make a decision that damages a situation. So because you 72 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: have a new theory, we have a brand new theory, 73 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: and you force a change in a situation and it 74 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: turns out to be so disastrous you never come back 75 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: from it. And I'm starting to wonder if that's what 76 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: we got here anyway, Andy Bale's will talk about it 77 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: after three o'clock. I'm here. That's welcome. How are you? 78 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, well, I'm kind of distraught and a bit panicked. 79 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: I see you're sympathetic. You're almost never distraught or panic Well, 80 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this writer strike, What am I? What am 81 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: I gonna do? What am I gonna watch? What am 82 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: I gonna I? 83 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 3: Really, I've been wandering around all morning, trying to figure 84 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: out if all my shows disappear. 85 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: I wow, you see attention given to this story. Well, 86 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: major industry, I must, but it's it's it's dopey shows. 87 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: It's not like, yes, jobs, but honestly. 88 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: They should get other jobs. Well, I don't know about getting 89 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: other jobs. 90 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: Obviously, yes, if you're struggling and you really are just 91 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: barely making it and you've been doing this for years, 92 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: you might want to consider another another line of work. 93 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: You're you're correct, because, uh, what they're trying to do. 94 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: I look when I heard this, and I heard the 95 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 3: most of dispute is about streaming. 96 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: We'll think about it now. 97 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: You probably could not have another show written, But with 98 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 3: all the content that's already out there, you could probably 99 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: spend the next twenty years watching all the shows that 100 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: you haven't had a chance to see that you've been 101 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: interested in. Right, there's so much content. Now, that's what's 102 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: going to reduce the pay There's just so many choices 103 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: with all the streaming services and everything else that's out 104 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: there on the internet and social media and that people consume. 105 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: I don't know how you can expect this is the conundrum. 106 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: You might get more work but you probably get less pay. Yes, 107 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 3: there's just so many sources now for material to be 108 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 3: disseminated to the public. 109 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Because it used to be when in the three network 110 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: world you could have three shows getting forty million people 111 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: of piece watching every night. 112 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: And there it was the opposite because you had to 113 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 3: compete with a whole lot of other writers to get 114 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: on one of those shows. But then you probably made 115 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 3: good money when you considered you know, the reruns and 116 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: the syndication, all the other benefits. But now we have 117 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: the opposite. There's a million places to look at entertainment now, 118 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: so and I don't know how you could expect. And 119 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: so they audiate the kind of money. 120 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: You might have made. 121 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: If you say you wrote for Friends, that's even you know, 122 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: twenty five thirty years ago, write that show? Yeah, but 123 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: that pretty much back then there was the three networks 124 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: and maybe a couple of other some cable channels, some 125 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: cable channels that drew some audience. But I mean, those 126 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 3: writers are incredibly filthy rich for that TV show. But 127 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 3: you can't expect that to happen today. We're not going 128 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: to have another huge where ten twenty thirty million people 129 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: watch every week it's not going to happen. 130 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: I got a friend, he's an entertainment lawyer, and he 131 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: says that places like Netflix and Amazon Prime do not 132 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: want to share audience totals with anybody. Nobody really knows 133 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: how many people watch all these streaming hits, and they 134 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: won't tell the writers, and they won't explain, like how 135 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: many of these shows actually bring new subscribers, right, Like 136 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: what do you There must be some shows that cause 137 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: people to say, Wow, I heard that's really great. I'm 138 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to subscribe to Netflix now, and then you 139 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: start paying your seventeen dollars a month, right, right, So 140 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: the writers don't know for sure what's a hit or not. 141 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: You get an idea because it's discussed in the media 142 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: and you hear friends talking about it, say I have 143 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: an idea of what the hits are, but you don't 144 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: have any exact numbers. And these these these obviously these 145 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: companies are taking in billions of dollars in streaming fees. 146 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: They're also spending billions of dollars to develop content. But 147 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: it looks like the uh, the writers are getting squeezed. 148 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: They're not. They're not sharing in the riches and that's 149 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: that's what they're going on strikeover. Oh that, But I'm 150 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: thinking there may be riches. But when you have so 151 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: many streaming services competing for audience, and yeah, let's say 152 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: you've put out a show and gets pretty good critics, 153 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: reviews or whatever and a little bit of buzz, it 154 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: may still have just a few hundred thousand people that 155 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: watch it. Could be we go back to Friends, which 156 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: would have ten twenty thirty million people watching it every week. 157 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, see the difference there. Oh yeah, how could 158 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: you expect to say, well, we're rolling in riches? But 159 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: then they're going to say, well, but you have a 160 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: thousand of those shows drawing just a few hundred thousands 161 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: and people, and these thousand, but one hundreds and these 162 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: streaming series they're like eight ten episodes. Years ago, the 163 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: network series would be twenty four, twenty six. And in 164 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: the old old days, back in the fifties and sixties, 165 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: they do thirty nine episodes a year. Right now it's 166 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: single digits, like eight episodes. It's like WHOA. 167 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 3: And the wild card here which I heard this morning 168 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: which got my attention, is AI. 169 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: Yes. Apparently they're very. 170 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: Concerned that artificial intelligence could start writing a lot of 171 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: the shows and taking over. 172 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: What they want to ban is artificial intelligence, writing a 173 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: like a what they call a spec script, right, you know, 174 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: writing a general outline of a script and then handing 175 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: that to a regular writer and saying, Okay, just polish 176 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: this up, fill in the blanks, make the joke sharp 177 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: or whatever. But the basic idea is going to come 178 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: out of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence. What you could 179 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: do is you could feed in let's say it's a 180 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: detective show, right, just feed in ten thousand detective show scripts, right, 181 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: because there's a formula to everything, right, So you could 182 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: come up with a formula script to keep you know, 183 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: come up with you know, twenty five shows for next year, right. 184 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean when I was a kid, I watched detective 185 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: shows obsessively and then after a while I realized, wait, 186 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: this is the same script. Yeah, it's just three purposed right, 187 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: And we worked a few details. And sometimes it was 188 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: the same producers. One show at ended it's run, they'd 189 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: start another show and they took all the scripts with them. 190 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: Not much different today if you look at the network, 191 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 3: So how many csis are there? 192 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: How many? Oh? Yes, other shows with the same basic theme. 193 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't watch much anymore, but I've read as sitcoms 194 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: were like that too, Like Bewitched, which was on back 195 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: in the sixties and seventies, they ran through the same 196 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: scripts like twy everything played twice because the show ran 197 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: eight years and they were out of ideas, but the 198 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: network wanted to keep calling. So let's just say just 199 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: you know, Dora turned somebody into a monkey cat through 200 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: a dog. I knew Bewitch because I watched a lot 201 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: of them during Darren's in trouble. And so basically, what 202 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: the union wants the writers killed. They don't want AI 203 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: products to be deemed writers, and they don't want it 204 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: to be used to generate the original material for the 205 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: development of TV shows and movies. Right. 206 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 3: They want to keep the core purpose of actual writers, 207 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: but also hurt the writers. Years ago too, was reality 208 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 3: TV that took out some of it. 209 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: So that came out of another strike. I heard, oh, yeah, 210 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: yeah that. You know, It's like McDonald's whenever the fast 211 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: food workers complain about too they don't make enough money. 212 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: There's now three McDonald's that are entirely mechanically operated. There 213 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: are no employees. The whole system is automated, and that's 214 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: it came out of strikes and employees constantly complaining and 215 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, we don't want to hear about 216 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: it anymore. 217 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 3: Oh, we're late for the break. And this when I 218 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: mentioned my jaw dropped yesterday for the first time in months. 219 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: I went to Costco and yes, there's self served and 220 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 3: there were kiosks at the food court to order. And 221 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: I'm like wow, because Costco to me has always treated 222 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 3: their employees very well. They have very good, pretty good 223 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: pay and very good benefits, and I thought they'd be 224 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 3: one of the last to start to automate. When I 225 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: saw that yesterday, I said, it is a different world, 226 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 3: isn't it. 227 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard something about that today. I'll mention it 228 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: when we come back. 229 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: All right, Johnny Ken, you have a chance for money 230 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 3: coming up next. KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere the 231 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app. 232 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 2: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 233 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: AM six forty. 234 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: Just one more note, we were talking about our official intelligence. 235 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: I heard today on a newscast that there's some world 236 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: economic research organization I forget the name of it, but 237 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: they predict that AI is going to destroy eighty five 238 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: million jobs in short order. I believe it in the 239 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: next few years. They also claim that potentially it can 240 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: create ninety seven million jobs, but that's going to be 241 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: a lot of people having to learn skills that they 242 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: don't have right now and are not going to have 243 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: for a while. So I think there's would that be 244 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: managing the AI? What would the jobs be, I wonder, well, somebody, Yes, 245 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: somebody is going to have to work the AI. The 246 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: AI just can't. You have to feed it, so you 247 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: have to program it. 248 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 3: Oh no, we're always told in doomsday well stories that 249 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 3: they don't need us. 250 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: Well, eventually, yeah, eventually it. 251 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: Can accumulate knowledge and over time just get bigger and stronger. 252 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they'll kill us. They'll kill us. Stupid world. 253 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: It's something to be reckoned with, though, especially when you 254 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: talk about certain fields of work, which would include not 255 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: just entertainment, but you think about it. 256 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: Even in uh. 257 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: Surgery medical field, it's possible, you know, robotic surgery. I 258 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: saw a story last week that they're trying to get 259 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: old people used to having robots to be their home 260 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: health workers because there's a real shortage of people in 261 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 3: that field to help the elderly with their daily tasks, 262 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: you know what. And they're introducing robots and I to 263 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: uh to uh at the. 264 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: Home because you know, you get some really low level characters. 265 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: And yeah, somebody doesn't shower, might steal from you. Yeah, 266 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: my father in law had money stolen from him. Oh 267 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: he did by one of these you know day nurses. 268 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: H geez, you looted his wallet? Is that right? Yes? 269 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: Now they're not paid enough, so you're see they're desperate. 270 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: Why are you picking on people that don't make enough money? 271 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Then sometimes caused to do desperate things. You know what, 272 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: I did this whole attitude that I'm not getting enough money, 273 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: so I've got I've got to blackmail you go on strike. 274 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: It's like, at some point in my theory behind shoplifting 275 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a crime. Shoplifting shouldn't be right, and it's 276 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: like it's been denied by the capitalist system. To them, 277 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: you have to know, you should know that you always 278 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: have to look for a better job or get the 279 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: skills in education to qualify you for the better job. 280 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: That is like rule one of life is when you 281 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: become an adult. 282 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 3: In fact, we'll be talking along these lines later on 283 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: in the show because The Times did a special today 284 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: on how what percentage of fast food workers in La 285 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: County are homeless. 286 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's the same thing that John's just talking about. 287 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: It's like, well, you can expect to be paying fifty 288 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: to one hundred thousand dollar. It was a year for 289 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: you know, stuff and fries and a container. 290 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: The story's on a fifty three year old guy bitching 291 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: that he doesn't have enough money. He's got to live 292 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: in his car. It's like, wow, I think you made 293 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: a few other bad calls in life. Yeah, I mean 294 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: you end up living in a car and working at 295 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: a McDonald's. That's on you. 296 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: No matter how long you make you work, there's a 297 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 3: certain skill level that means you're replaceable, which means they're 298 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 3: not gonna pay a hell of a lot. 299 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: It just works that way, you know. And you can 300 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: bitch about greedy organizations all you want. That's what they are, 301 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: all right, And that's why AI is going to take 302 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: off and put a lot of people out of work 303 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: because it's gonna make the company much more profitable. 304 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, but also food, it keeps the prices low for 305 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 3: people to buy the food. You're gonna start paying the 306 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 3: workers an incredible quote living wage. You're gonna have a 307 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: much more expensive meal than others are gonna say I can't, 308 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 3: I can't afford that anymore. 309 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: That gonna go there. Yeah, that's the idea behind fast food. 310 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: It's fast and it's cheap. Your employer pays you because 311 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: they have to, because they think you help them make money. 312 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: They don't really want to pay for your healthcare. They 313 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: don't really want to care. They don't care about your pension. 314 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: They don't care if you get sick and die when 315 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: you're sixty eight years old. They don't care. They're paying 316 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: because they need somebody working to make them money. And 317 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: if they get ai to do that work, you're out. 318 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: All right, We got more coming up.

It 357 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: was a big story on the local news. Well that's 358 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: that was a California government holiday. It was, Oh, sure, 359 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: because it's a it's a communist holiday from the Soviet Union, right, 360 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: but it's an actual California state holiday. Well, I'm in 361 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: solidarity with the Soviet communists. 362 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 3: Yes, Well that's how it originated. Pronounce become a worker's holiday, 363 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 3: which I thought was Labor Day. But now everybody's now 364 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: it's May Day, and it's all about the people who 365 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 3: feel theyre underpaid May Day. 366 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, is I remember giving my 367 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: mother a bouquet of paper flowers that I made grammar school. 368 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: That May Day was supposed to be like a sign 369 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: of spring. Oh was it? Yes? When I was a kid. 370 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, we did something when I was in Catholic school 371 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 3: with the Virgin Mary in money, but I don't remember 372 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: what it was, and flowers and stuff. 373 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: You know, it's just more obnoxious socialism crap. Shut up, 374 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: go to work. 375 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 3: All right, Well, excited news from the world of let's 376 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 3: get the media's attention by sending in the military. We're 377 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 3: gonna give you an updates soon on the announcement by 378 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 3: a dipity do that the California Highway Patrol, in the 379 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 3: National Guard, we go to San Francisco to try to 380 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 3: help with the fentnel crisis. But the story today also 381 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 3: is that Joe Biden is sending one thousand, five hundred 382 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 3: active duty troops to the southern border because Title forty 383 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 3: two is coming to an. 384 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: End next week. 385 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 3: Actually, we've been talking about this for months because Title 386 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 3: forty two. They think migrants believe when that policy ends, 387 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: it's really an open door into the US. They won't 388 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: get deported. Yeah, it ends on May eleventh. They're gonna 389 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 3: they think illegal crossings could double to ten or eleven 390 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: thousand a day in the coming weeks. 391 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: Nobody really knows, but these are the estimates. I heard 392 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: ninety thousand people have acrossed the border in just the 393 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: last few days. Ninety thousand. Wow, didn't I see a 394 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: headline that Biden's spokeshole says that the illegal immigration is 395 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: down by ninety percent at the border, and that's why 396 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: that Kringjong Pierre. I don't I pay no attention to 397 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: anything out of her mouth. Well, the other thing is, 398 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: remember that they were pulling a new trick. 399 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 3: They're going to reclassify people and that's considered illegal immigrants. 400 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Says Right, it's like everything crimes aren't crimes anymore. Illegal 401 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: crossings are in illegal crossings. Therefore all categories of crime 402 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: and illegal activities all down to nothing. 403 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: Well, the border patrol chief said that in a three 404 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: day period over the weekend, they arrested more than twenty 405 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: two thousand migrants. 406 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: So I don't know what, Well that tells you how 407 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: many how many people came over the border, right, because well, 408 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: actually that's only like a third, don't they miss? Well? Yeah, 409 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: the people. Yeah, so that ninety thousand estimate, that's not 410 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: too far off, is it, right? 411 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: But you have kind of a mish marshal last few 412 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: years since Biden became president. Some believe they should surrender 413 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: at the border because they'll get asylum and they'll get 414 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: to stay in the US rather than have to dealing 415 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 3: with running away all the time, you know, from border agents. 416 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 3: That kind of started when Biden became president. The idea 417 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 3: was just surrender and Claire asylum. 418 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: The cartels are putting out constant messages on social media 419 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: to people in Central America and Mexico to come here, 420 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: and they make up all kinds of stories that creates frenzies, 421 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: you know. They they give the false impression that hey, 422 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, today's a free day. Come on, there's gonna 423 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: be no consequences, and often they're in a consequences. They 424 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: don't even have to make it up, right. 425 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 3: Most often the government sends National Guard rather than active 426 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 3: duty soldiers. The idea again and we talked, well, actually 427 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 3: we think we talked about this yesterday, is they're supposed 428 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 3: to do some of the background work so border patrol 429 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 3: agents can stay more on the front lines. They just 430 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 3: go down there. I don't know what to fill the 431 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: office positions well, or maybe oversee the detention center because 432 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 3: ECRE agents can be more where the crossings are. 433 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 1: Because under the law, military personnel cannot act as law 434 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: enforcement on American soil, so they can't arrest migrants. They 435 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: can help with some of the administrative tasks. This is 436 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: the law. They can process migrants who ask for asylum. 437 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: And so we've had thousands of troops deployed at the 438 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: border periodically for years. Trump sent five thousand down at 439 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: one time. The Pentagon had sent twenty five hundred recently 440 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: as well. So this is an extra fifteen hundred and 441 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: it's provided. It's guys are gonna sit in chairs, right. 442 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: I think they're shipping fifteen thousand chairs that this crew 443 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: can sit in. And you had to remember this is 444 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: reality versus perception. Title forty two is implemented by Trump 445 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. It was a way to cut 446 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: down on border crossings because of the pandemic. They could 447 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: turn people away immediately from certain countries. But the problem 448 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: now isn't so much that Title forty two is ending. 449 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,239 Speaker 1: It's the message that it's ending. See what happens in 450 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: many countries in Central America and even all the way 451 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: over to Haiti and South America. The message is basically 452 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: very much dumped down to Title forty two. Overcome US 453 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: wide open. And John's right, that's what the smugglers sell everybody. 454 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: So that's going to explain the surge more than the 455 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: practical effect of Title forty two ending. If you see 456 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: the difference I'm trying to make it, it's what the 457 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: cartels communicate to the possilive people, right, and the cartels 458 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: are rowing the message. They're not paying attention to a 459 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: Biden press release or what that lying spokes Hollis says. 460 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: What they're paying attention to is what the cartel send 461 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: them on their social media, right, and they believe it. 462 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 3: They believe it, and because it gets customers, it gets 463 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: people to get people hooked, like okay, it's just like DACA, 464 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 3: who were still suffering the offense of the effects of 465 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 3: DACA from what was that two thousand and twelve that 466 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 3: was Obama's plan to let young people stay in the 467 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 3: country if they were brought here by their parents's children. 468 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 3: That we're still paying for that because there's still somebody 469 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: unaccompanied miners showing up at the border. That's one that 470 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: now has lasted what eleven years with a big problem. 471 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: Even if it's been declared illegal, that doesn't get through 472 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: no no, by the way they got their cheap headline. 473 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: Even the Wall Street Journal, which should know better, wrote 474 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: the headline Biden to deploy active duty troops to southern borders, 475 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: title forty two ends. And while that is literally true, 476 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: it's wildly misleading because it would give you the impression 477 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: that you now have these swarms of it's gonna be 478 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: like a military invasion, and they're gonna be tackling and 479 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: dragging away everybody who crosses the border. Now they're going 480 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: to work at desks.

So I stopped listening to 505 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 3: KFI because of you, and I. 506 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: Swat it's all because of me. No, I'm concerned.

And what the hell 509 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: I heard your annoying voice for a commercial for a 510 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: mail enhancement drug. Still yeah, still, it's still out there. 511 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: You didn't get a residual deal. 512 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 4: No, I didn't, and I will never do something like 513 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: that again. 514 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: WTF Jesus Christ, who the hell would hire you with 515 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: your horrible radio voice? Just go away? Would you? Oh? 516 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: Now I feel bad, do you? Well? I think that 517 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: was pretty harsh. 518 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 4: That was the meanest. But you know what, that person. 519 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that it was a guy. 520 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 4: He has no you know what, because that person didn't 521 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 4: put a return address, because that person is a coward. 522 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: What would you do with this return address? 523 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 4: I would send a little letter back. 524 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: How long have you been in this business? Oh? God, 525 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: so many years? 526 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 4: I know, Ken, I know I talked about Ken. I 527 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 4: talked about you today because I was. I showed this 528 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 4: letter to Chris Little and Michelle Q Kelly and other people, 529 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 4: and I said, you know what, I have written back 530 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: to people like this. But Ken always says, why do 531 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 4: you waste your time? Don't write back? Don't write back? 532 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 4: And sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. 533 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: Never Well, talk to producer Ray. 534 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: We call it count to ten, and by the time 535 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 3: you're done counting to ten, you'll probably calm down. 536 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: You don't want to just hit the reply button. 537 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 3: You send me emails occasionally from listeners, and you seem 538 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 3: worked up, and occasionally you do respond. 539 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: I see you're writing back. I don't do that. 540 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 4: I know I do, But I just think it's funny because, 541 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 4: first of all, I would like to see that person 542 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 4: do what we all do right on the air. Putting 543 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 4: ourselves out. 544 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: Is going to replace us all, and I don't care. 545 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 4: I've been successful. I do voiceover work. I'm on movies 546 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 4: and TV. This guy can go. 547 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: You know what. Guy's mentally disturbed. And he probably doesn't 548 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: even wear pants. 549 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 4: I'm sure he does. I'm sure he's listening right now. 550 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: And doing something. Yeah. Well, I got a good laugh 551 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: out of it. Just count at ten and give it 552 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: to me very nice. 553 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 4: And let me say, before people start inundating me with mail, 554 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 4: I'm not opening them anymore. 555 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm done. But we don't really get too 556 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: many anymore. You sound very seductive on that mail announcement, 557 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: commercial mail enhancement, and mail enhancement. We called it a 558 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: mail announcement, the mail, a mail announcement, the mail enhancement. Cocion. 559 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: I guess you're saying, yeah, you are announcing that the 560 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: mail is here. Yes, take a look down there. 561 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:17,479 Speaker 2: Uh. 562 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 3: We were just talking about how Biden wants is going 563 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: to bring troops to the border because Title forty two 564 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 3: is ending. 565 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: Now. 566 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 3: We switched to San Francisco, where the announcement was made 567 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago by Governor Dippity Doo. But 568 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 3: the National Guard and the California Highway patrol. We're going 569 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 3: to head to San Francisco to help crack down on 570 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 3: the drug problems. Well, yesterday was the first day for 571 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 3: that deployment. The San Francisco Chronicle sent a bunch of reporters. 572 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 3: They saw nothing. What a shock they saw nobody. The 573 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 3: official response from HP is that we've already assigned seventy 574 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: five officers to San Francisco. It consists of volunteers from 575 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 3: one of our units, according to the CHP commissioner. The 576 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: Chronicle did not spot any patrols on a three hour 577 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 3: morning walk through the two neighborhoods where official set officers 578 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 3: would be deployed Monday. 579 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: It's a fake policy with again to get the headlines. 580 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: It's like the military troops going to the Mexico border. 581 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: It's just for stupid headlines to make you and it 582 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: gives you a talking point. To the reporters, they talked 583 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: to Dell Seymour, who is a neighborhood business owner and 584 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: a nonprofit leader. 585 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 3: I saw a couple of cops on motorbikes. He snapped 586 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 3: a picture of two patrol cars, but he didn't see 587 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 3: anybody get out of their car, do any enforcement. 588 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: And I'm not even sure that it was CHP. I 589 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: think even they've been in San Francisco police. 590 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 3: My favorite, though, is that yesterday was a quieter day. 591 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: You know why, John, Why the first of the month, 592 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 3: people get their benefit checks and some take hotel rooms 593 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 3: because the money only goes so far. They use it 594 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 3: all up on the first day. 595 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: What do you do? You buy lottery tickets, drugs and 596 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: you get a hotel room. Yeah, you splurge right until 597 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: the money runs out. You can benefit check on a Monday. 598 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: Those are the three months, three main purchasing categories I know. 599 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, again, this seemed like a lot of hoopla, 600 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 3: and now I realized it was only the first day. 601 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 3: But if you're announcing a policy like this and you're 602 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,959 Speaker 3: serious about it, you kind of what I expected the opposite. 603 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 3: They would act like they're doing a lot the first 604 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 3: day or two, and then after a week you wouldn't 605 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 3: see anybody doing anything. 606 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: Looks he's a complete fraud. He was mayor. There's no 607 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: follow through. Here's mayor of San Francisco starting around twenty 608 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: years ago, and look what's happened to San Francisco in 609 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: the last twenty years. Do you think he has any 610 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: interest in the city. He's never shown even when he 611 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: was mayor. He was mayor for eight years, and everything 612 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: kept getting worse and worse and more disgusting and more dirty, 613 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: like are he's a carcetti about the same guy and. 614 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: The Tenderloin and Soman neighborhoods. Everyone thought it was quieter. 615 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 3: They did talk to one homeless guy, Julian Moore, who 616 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 3: wash and sleeps on a nearby corner, said that actually 617 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 3: drug dealings down because there's been a lot of police 618 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 3: activity over the last couple of weeks. He said he 619 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 3: was coughing. He's been diagnosed with lung disease and congenital 620 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 3: heart failure. 621 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: Wow. 622 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 3: And he claims the city workers came recently and threw 623 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: away my tent. He's waiting on a medical review to 624 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 3: get prioritized for housing throughout the city. This is usually 625 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 3: what you see when you see these stories, like in 626 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 3: these progressive news sites. They find the one person with 627 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 3: a lot of health problems who really wants housing, but 628 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 3: he's on a list. 629 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: He's self inflicted health problem. 630 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, more uses drugs, he admitted, Yes, he's got and he. 631 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: Says the police just say don't use them. In front 632 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: of us. That's what he said. They tell him. See, 633 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: nobody's even trying. That's pretty funny, right, Oh, it says 634 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: here in the tenderloin the same streets that are usually 635 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: cleared by community ambassadors, haven't they done the job? It's 636 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: really a great community. Let's see, we've got the National Guard, 637 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: We've got CHP, we've got community ambassadors, we've got San 638 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: Francisco PD. Wow, all those uniformed government workers running around. 639 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: Some of them have guns, some of them have badges. 640 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: Nothing changes. Everybody's getting paid, though. 641 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 3: Another resident said when police show up, dealers just run 642 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 3: around the corner. If they actually get caught then and 643 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 3: other dealers move in and replace them, he says they 644 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 3: need double or triple the enforcement. 645 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: They're going to make a denseness. I got one guy, 646 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: he's been on the streets for eighteen years. He's only 647 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: seen everything get worse. Oh, eighteen years. That almost matches 648 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's public career. Yeah. Yeah, teenagers dying of overdoses 649 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: on the street. Again, Newsom doesn't care.
