We're now at a place 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: now where the quote advocates, activists, nutty politicians like Mike 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Bonnen are shaking their head and say, this isn't about shelter. 23 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: First of all, this is housing first, and it's about 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: permanent housing first. We have to build these people real homes, 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: real apartments. We're not going to put them in a tent. 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: We're not going to put them in a shelter. We're 27 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: not going to put them in a tiny home. We 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: have to find them real permanent housing. And on top 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: of that, where they lay. So if they're hanging out 30 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: in venice, I don't care where they're from or who 31 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: they are. They're residents here and we're gonna get them 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: a place to live. Where they lay, Yeah, where they 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: lay their stuff. You have to build a home around 34 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: them right there, squat right, Just build a little house 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,639 Speaker 1: right on top of them there. That's where we are today. 36 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. So you know, you heard the story 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: last year or the year before about an audit of 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles is spending on homeless housing, 39 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: and there's a report of an eight hundred thousand dollars 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: apartments being built in corea town. Now we're going to 41 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: move over to Venice Beach, still part of the City 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: of LA and of course grown zero for many homeless 43 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: problems with people camping on the boardwalk. This report says 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: that they've got a project they want to get approved. 45 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: They could cost one point two four million dollars per unit. 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: It's known as the Venice Median Project, also known as 47 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: the Pacific Dell Project, and the Homelessness and Poverty Committee 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: the City of La which is going to be voting 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: on whether to push this forward. Here. This is a 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: big project of Mike Bonnin's, maybe he wants to approve 51 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: before he leaves office. It's going to cost a million, 52 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: two hundred forty thousand dollars per unit for four hundred 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: sixty square feet built on two city owned parking lots 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: on Venice Boulevard. You get a million, two hundred forty 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: thousand for four hundred sixty square feet for an almost person. 56 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: I cannot talked now to Marjorie Witzman, who started the 57 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Coalition for Safe Coastal Development and apparently is well aware 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: now this project, can give us some more information on it. 59 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: Let's get her on. Welcome Marjorie, how are you this 60 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: This is hard to believe. I mean, well, the way 61 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: we described it is that correct. I just can't believe. 62 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: Sadly incredibly correct. It is one million, two hundred and 63 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: forty nine thousand dollars for four hundred sixty square foot 64 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: average unit a block from Venice Beach on the historic 65 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Venice Canal as you do as you do in Venice. Um, Yeah, 66 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: it's it's massively overpriced. It's the most expensive affordable housing 67 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: probably in the world, definitely in the state of California. 68 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: And Mike Bonnen is pushing this through. He skipped important meetings. 69 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: He had a meeting last week for the DDA as 70 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: they call it, which is the Disposition and Development Agreement, 71 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: which basically means they are disposing of this last open 72 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: space in Venice, this valuable land for ninety nine year 73 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: lease at a dollar per year, and after fifty five 74 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: years it may not even be required to be affordable. 75 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at in Venice. So's it's one 76 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: hundred and forty units. Is this being paid for out 77 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: of one of the taxes that they raise for homelessness 78 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: or how are they financing this? They've got a whole 79 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: different of funding sources. They won't disclose those really until 80 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: they get ready to build it. The important thing to 81 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: know on this project as well, they are destroying four 82 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: units for perfectly good affordable units A for a long 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: time Venice residence. They never had to use this three acres. 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: It's a three acre lot. They could have used a 85 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: portion of it. They could use some of it. When 86 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: this was first pitched, Mike Bonnen actually came to my 87 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: home and pitched it as a ninety unit place where 88 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: we would have battered women and hia foster kids. And 89 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 1: we're like, okay, ninety units, we can handle that. Turned 90 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: around and made it one forty and he's keep going 91 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: ever since. The critical thing is he's not looking at 92 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: the environment at all. There's no environmental review on it, 93 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: and we're in a flood zone, we're in the Umami 94 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: escape zone. And this is a very well used parking 95 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: lot from anyone who comes to Venice Beach, if you 96 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: go there on a sunny day, doesn't even have to 97 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: be a weekend. It is packed with angeline who's who 98 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: come to use Venice Beach. But Mike Bonnen saw this 99 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: as a feasible place to build affordable housing, and they 100 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: actually what makes affordable housing affordable is the fact that 101 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: you can actually minimize the parking. They can't do this here. 102 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: They have to build parking as for coastal commission, add 103 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: parking for residents now and for commercial use, which nobody 104 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: ever asked for. They're supposed to be building affordable housing, 105 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: not a sixty eight foot lookout tower they're having. They 106 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: have features of this that are unbelievable. It's a sixty 107 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: foot tower. They have an art center and predominantly a 108 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: parking garage that they now have to replace for Mike 109 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: bonded to say that this parking lot was underutilized. He's 110 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: now replacing it with a twenty million dollar parking tower 111 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: that has to have mechanical lift parking in order to 112 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: accommodate every spot that they need for coastal commissions. It's 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: just nuts. What is this technically homeless housing? Are you 114 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: calling it affordable housing? Are they going to actually be 115 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: charging people a very low amount of purchase or rent 116 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: these units? Well, it's a real good question. It was 117 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: pitched to us as affordable housing, that this would solve 118 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: the problem of all the homeless people you see on 119 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: the beach. In fact, only seven of these units are 120 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: for extremely low income units. Everything else half of them, 121 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: sixty eight units will be permanent supportive housing. The rest 122 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: can be for people making up to ninety thousand dollars 123 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: a year. So I have school teachers and people working 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: around your ninety thousand is a lot. So I think 125 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: this is Bonden's entree into kind of going more moderately 126 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: into upgrading housing or making housing for everybody a block 127 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: from the beach. But that's not what was pitched. That's 128 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: not what Triple H was voted to build. So they're 129 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: going to use Triple H tax money to build apartments 130 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: for people making up to ninety thousand dollars. Yeah, actually 131 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't think they have any Triple H money left. 132 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: But that's how it was pitched to the community. It 133 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: was definitely presented as such, but now they're using a 134 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: bunch of different funding sources that change every ProForma. Who's 135 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: the developer on this, Yeah, how'd we come up with 136 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: one point two four million? Well, what it is? It's 137 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: Venice Can Unity Housing, who's never had a project larger 138 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: than twenty units, who is being backed by Hollywood Community Housing. 139 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: So the two of them are doing it together, and 140 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: they are claiming the cost of the units themselves or 141 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty board ninety seven. But what they 142 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: didn't factor in is the cost of the land. They're 143 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: saying the land is valued at three million dollars. This 144 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: is prime beachfront property, a block from the beach. Minimal, 145 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: it's seventy million. So adding on that seventy million plus 146 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: the twenty million for the parking is what gets you 147 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: up to one point two four nine bond and will 148 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: hide that cost until you we're out of our minds. 149 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: But there was never need to replace this parking. But 150 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean, seventy million is what these organizations are going 151 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: to pay using tax money. Tax money. Absolutely, we pay 152 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: for it three times. This is this is open space. 153 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: This has benice open space that we are now. The 154 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: city owns the land already. They own the land and 155 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: their least it back for a buck a year. That's 156 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: how they're leasing it back. And because they're leasing it back, 157 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: they feel that this does not qualify for anything in 158 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: terms of pricing. But this is city on land, this 159 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: is our land. That's seventy million dollars that they're taking 160 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: much like they're taking the historic bridge. They're commondeering one 161 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: hundred year old historic bridge in between these two massive 162 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: units and using it as a design feature for these buildings, 163 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: not as an access point to the beach. This is 164 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: a prime access point where pedestrians, bicycles, cars went over 165 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: that bridge. Anyone. We've had a lot of people come 166 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: out and see it. Racrusoe came out, Karen Bass came out. 167 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: Nobody can believe they would build this in this spot. 168 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: It's basically a big bathtub. It's a THEEMA designated flood zone. 169 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: You look up and you see a big angle where 170 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: the ocean would come in end the event of the tsunami. 171 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: With this ridiculous parking structure they had, it's a death trap. 172 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: You have people in there who will have to wait 173 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: for their cars to be that way eight and brought 174 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: to them before they can leave all at once. It's 175 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: even the department chair of dot Guiote is actually going 176 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: to be running that parking separately, and that he had 177 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: major concerns about it. We just entered that on record today. 178 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: We had a plumb hearing today where they actually of 179 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: course pushed it through and we'll be going back to 180 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: council tomorrow for the DDA again. And these hearings themselves 181 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: are ridiculous. I claim to I talk a little fast 182 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: because I used to talking in one minute soundbites. We 183 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: get one minute to comment on our future and then 184 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: it And that's how these council hearings work. They're absolutely absurd. 185 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: They're built to support the person who's promoting the project. 186 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: People still have this ridiculous, blonde blind faith in bond 187 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: In though he's nothing done nothing but destroy our town. 188 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: We have a current lawsuit actually that Yeah, I heard 189 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: that you have a lawsuit against us. Yeah, all right, well, Marjorie, 190 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: we appreciate you coming on. This is quite the insane. 191 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: It's just flat out insane. Every bit of this can 192 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you all about Bonnen's what we got Bonnen 193 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: four in his lawsuit. It's really quite interesting. We will 194 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk with you again soon. Sounds great. I appreciate 195 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: you guys having me on. Thank you. That's Marjorie Whitzman, 196 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: who started something called the Collision for Safe Coastal Development. 197 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: She's been fighting this Bonnen project, which we just mentioned. 198 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: It's one hundred and forty units being pushed off as 199 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: affordable housing in Venice one point two four million dollars 200 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: for a four hundred and sixty square foot unit. That's 201 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: some of the mind boggling go to the homeless. So 202 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: a homeless person, you know, coming from Texas with a 203 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: meth addiction wins the lottery gets a apartment built for 204 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: him for a million and a quarter. We got more 205 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: coming up, John and Ken. It's really infuriating. I need 206 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: a drink. Well, you know, we talked about the homeless, 207 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: and of course this big project going up in Venice, 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: which could cost one point two four million dollars per unit. 209 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: It's being challenged by lawsuits. It hasn't been completely approved yet, 210 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: but it'll be part of the legacy of Mike Bonnen, 211 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: who you know, who subscribes to this belief that if 212 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: you squat somewhere, you live there. Who's the developer who's 213 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: making the profit on this and what's his relationship to Bonnon? 214 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: M I don't know us. Again, someday you should have 215 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: an investigation to see if there's any payments, political payments. Well, 216 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: h comes the story in the Olsagundo Times that UCLA 217 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: researchers have we got the answer here. They have developed 218 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: a brand new predictive tool. It's an algorithm to figure 219 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: out whether you're going to fall into homelessness. And then 220 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: before you fall into that ditch, the outreach people get 221 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: there really fast and they catch you and they make 222 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: sure you don't fall into the homelessness. Do they pull 223 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: the needle out of your arm? According to this story, 224 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: there are at least fifty factors. The best models require 225 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: somewhere between one hundred and fifty and two hundred factors 226 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: that have to go into this algorithm. You don't you 227 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: know what I could come up with a few off 228 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: the top of my head. Are you working? Are you addicted? 229 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Are you addicted? Are you a drunk? You have untreated 230 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: mental illness? There it's about four questions that covers most 231 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: of the homework. You have no friends, no family, nobody, Yes, 232 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: are no supportive group anywhere. Usually these people have driven 233 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: off everybody they know because of their addictions, mental illness, 234 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: and bad behavior. You don't need one hundred and fifty inputs. God, 235 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: everything in government they makes it so ridiculously complicated. Then 236 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: they declare themselves experts. Here's what they use. Five hundred 237 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: factors for Ellen County, And here's what some of them 238 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: are who's been in an emergency room, who's been booked 239 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: in jail, who suffered a psychiatric crisis, who has gotten 240 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: cash for aid or food benefits, and who listed a 241 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: counting office as their home address for the program. Yeah, 242 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: it gives you a good idea that they're already homeless. Wow, 243 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: aren't they geniuses? That's it. Then it's a tough factor 244 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: to use. I bet you they're homeless. They don't have 245 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: an address. All A good point. They found out that 246 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: the people at the highest risk are actually not the 247 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: ones enrolling in typical homeless prevention. I don't know they 248 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: were homeless prevention programs. What do those? You know what 249 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: that is? You pay the rent, you go work, and 250 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: you pay the rent. That's homeless prevention responsible to yourself. 251 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Do you have to be taught that? Did these people 252 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: have parents? You're supposed to figure out how the world 253 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: works by watching your parents the first twenty years. And 254 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: if you see them writing a check every month to 255 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: pay the rent or to pay the mortgage, there's your clue. 256 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: That's how you stay at a homelessness. Any day now 257 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: and I was expecting this, well us comes in June. 258 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: They're going to release their new homeless count for LA. 259 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: They haven't done that yet. San Diego did it, Orange 260 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: County did it. I think the Empire did it. Whatever, 261 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: But La LA and La County has not revealed they're 262 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: homeless count numbers. I think there's still uh still yeah, yeah, 263 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: how can we erase some of these? No, I mean 264 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: this is really simple. This is there's no need for 265 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty or five five hundred factors. For 266 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: God's sake, do you know, if you just do a 267 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: few simple things in life, it's nearly impossible for you 268 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: to fall into poverty, let alone homelessness. It's just impossible, 269 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: because it's not that hard to do the basics and 270 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: at least keep a roof over your head. It's not hard. No, 271 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, I always thinking about this the other day. 272 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: I think I've read studies that as much as seventy 273 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: five percent of people still live within a certain radius 274 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: of where they grew up. It's true, Yeah, it is true. Oh, 275 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: that's part of the problem. If you're not cutting it. 276 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: If you can't afford the housing, you can't get a 277 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: job to afford the housing. You gotta move on. You 278 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: got to find a new place to grow your life, 279 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: and I don't think people do that, and they get 280 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: caught in a rut and then yeah, before you know it, 281 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: maybe they're drinking and using drugs and it spins out 282 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: of control and suddenly they don't have a fun. Really, 283 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: if you do, if you go to work and then 284 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: don't do drugs and booze, how do you how could 285 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: you end up homeless? It's impossible. Just go to work 286 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: and then take some of that money to pay the rent. 287 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean that's the end of the handbook. I probably 288 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: should put that in a book form and I could 289 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: make a million dollars. Four steps. This story picked out 290 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: a guy by the Anthony Padilla Kordova. That's a great one. 291 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: He got out of state prison during the pandemic. Well 292 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: what do you think that was? That was all the 293 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: COVID release stuff, and he was starting to stay off 294 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: alcohol and jugs drugs. He finally got into rehab because 295 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: he got a again because of his drinking. Oh my gosh, 296 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: here comes the long story. They moved him into a 297 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: silver living home. But his life felt precarious. His life 298 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,959 Speaker 1: felt precarious, right. He did pick up some work as 299 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: a prep cook and a dishwasher, but he didn't have 300 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: his driver's license and blah blah blah, so he has 301 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: to get on a bus to go to jobs as 302 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: far as Irvine. Wow. To see, this is how it begins. 303 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: They end up in this complicated web, and they always 304 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: got a lot of excuses and a long winded story. 305 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: And every decision is a bad decision. No impulses are controlled. Yeah, 306 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: so the case worker, Oh, look at that. They got 307 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: him a breadthalyzer so they could put it in the 308 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: car so he could legally drive again. I guess that 309 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: was one of the conditions of getting his driver's license back. 310 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: They gave him gift cards for groceries. They gave him 311 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: some stuff from clothing and shoes to where to work, 312 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: as if he say, year olds, I know, you're exactly right. 313 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: This is what frustrate. I didn't do all that stuff. 314 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: I know. No, what is this guy's age thirty something? 315 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: He's twenty nine. I used to tell my sons all 316 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: the time, do it yourself, do it yourself. My wife 317 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: and I used to go round and round. She'd want 318 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: to help them where I go. No, let them do 319 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: it themselves. I we're gonna be dead one day. They 320 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: got to figure out how to live on their own. Man, 321 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: make make the right decisions. I don't understand this. How 322 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: do you grow up? Really? How do you become an 323 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 1: adult and not know how to do the basics? How 324 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: does that happen? All right, we got more coming up, 325 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: John and Ken Cafe. The ballot harvest thing is coming 326 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: in in Lakaron Bass's edging ahead of Rick Caruso. Oh no, yeah, 327 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: what do we got. They put out new numbers. Yeah, 328 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: they put out new numbers. Just came in.

I don't think people talk 374 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: to him very long because he just stares at you. 375 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: Maybe they keep him away from people because they're afraid 376 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: he'll just start babbling. You can't have a long conversation 377 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: with him. I mean he stands there going huh. Well, 378 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: today he went before a friendly crowd. Oh it's even 379 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: described that way, a friendly crowd of you in supporters 380 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: the AFL CIO convention in Philadelphia, and he started. He 381 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: started talking about the great economy we have and blaming 382 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: the Republicans for blocking his ideas on inflation and how 383 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: to deal with inflation. Democrats control Congress. They do with 384 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: the Senate, though, is probably what he's talking about. But 385 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: but there's no ideas to control inflation. I don't think 386 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: he's had none. What's the idea? I don't know. He 387 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: just started babbling, stop printing money. He acknowledged that inflation 388 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: is sapping the strength of a lot of families. He 389 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: says it's been made worse by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 390 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: The great thanks, you're still trying that one. Jobs are back, 391 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: but prices are still too high. COVID is down, but 392 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: gas prices are up. Our work isn't on. It's just 393 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: like a nonsense generics b Did you see the whopper? 394 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: He told in a speech that was the Naval Academy. 395 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: He went to the Naval Academy. That was last week, 396 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: but they unearthed though well. He claimed he was appointed 397 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: to the Naval Academy in nineteen sixty five by Senator 398 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: Caleb Boggs of Delaware. But they searched Bog's archives and 399 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: they can't find any evidence to back that claim. It 400 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: also makes no sense because he had already graduated by 401 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: that time. He was he already graduated University of Delaware 402 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: and he was headed to Syracuse Law School. And there's 403 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: no graduate program at the Naval Academy, so there's no 404 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: reason to be nominated. He just he just made it up. Now, 405 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: Trump ate up a lot of crap too, So this 406 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: is what politicians do. I don't. But he's really really compulsive. 407 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: I mean claiming he got he got nominated to the 408 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: Naval Academy. Get out of here. Meanwhile, I guess who 409 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: showed up for a speech today in Moscow. Yeah, Vladimir Putin. 410 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: And the pictures in the video coming out show him 411 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: very shaky. He's rocking back and forth as some Russian 412 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: filmmaker accepted a prize. He then took to the podium 413 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: and appeared to shake before both legs buckled, forcing him 414 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: to grip the Stands have been telling him to cut 415 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: down public appearances. I studied the video. Oh I did, 416 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: because there's like the McGruder film. Yes, it was a 417 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: Pruder was a Pruder film, right, McGruder film Mud was 418 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: a different one, the Pruder film of the jam camsstage. Yeah, well, 419 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to see because there's been all these stories, 420 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, don't know what's propaganda. I'm sure the Ukrainians 421 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: are putting out a lot of dirt about Putin that 422 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: may or may not be true. But yeah, his legs 423 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: were like wiggling around there while he was standing standing, 424 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: and his when he was standing at with his arms 425 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: at his side, his arms were trembling and he was 426 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: looked like a He looked like he was gripping the 427 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: podium tightly. Yeah, there was something going on there. There 428 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: was a lot of excess movement. Yeah, I'm watching it 429 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: right now, and one leg is kind of shifting. Oh yeah, 430 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: his knees kind of moved lurched forward. That could be Parkinson's. Yeah, 431 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question he's got a health problem. 432 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he's only seventies, not that old, but um, 433 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: it's it's boys. He looked pale. I'm looking at a 434 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: full color photo. Holy mackaem Maybe they put makeup on him. 435 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: Because it was on TV. But he looks really pale. 436 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: I thought he was going to undergo some type of operation. No, well, 437 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean he might have, yeah, says 438 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: he he oh yeah. He reportedly underwent quote successful cancer 439 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: surgery and his recovering following advice for medics the treatment 440 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: was essential surgery because I thought he had a blood cancer. 441 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: But you have to treat there's not really a surgical 442 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: procedure for that. There's no way to know if any 443 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: of these stories are remotely true. But if you look 444 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: at a video and it's supposedly not doctored, you at 445 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: least get the idea that something might be wrong. And 446 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: they re showing the one where he he met the British. Oh, 447 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the Baltic country precedents. In 448 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: his hands was all shaken and his leg is rocking. 449 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: That looks like Parkinson's symptoms. Yeah, that's the best we 450 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: can hope for. The stories coming out of Ukraine every 451 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: day is that the Russians had pretty much taken the 452 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: eastern part of the country. That may be all that 453 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: they're going to end up trying to do. So all right, 454 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: we got more coming up. John Wick. Wait a minute. 455 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: One last detail reports that his bodyguards have been collecting 456 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: his extrement while on foreign trips to stop people gathering 457 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: information about his health. I thought, you want to know 458 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: that they collect his body waste. Shall packet I saw 459 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: which are kept in signing a dedicated briefcase until they 460 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: returned to Russia. Their top secret, well that they don't 461 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: want foreign spies to examine the feces for DNA. Yeah, 462 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: you can figure out a lot about a person. Sure, 463 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: you could determine if they have certain illnesses, if they're 464 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: getting certain treatments, if they have a genetic predisposition. I 465 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: think Joseph Stalin used to do this with a chairman 466 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: Mao years ago. Oh really, they would steal his poop. Yeah, 467 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Russian spies, Well, there is another country on the planet 468 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: that does as much as California does, if not more, 469 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: when it comes to things like COVID and climate change. 470 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: And we'll tell you the most absurd, ridiculous fun story 471 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: of what they're doing. Next you'll find out what the 472 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: where the country is, what they're doing. But if you 473 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: think about COVID nineteen in the lockdowns, this was one 474 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: of the most oppressive countries on the planet, and they're 475 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: also leading the way when it comes to climate change. 476 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: We'll give you all this coming up here at five 477 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: o five. Well, coming off the heels of the big 478 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage, we have another shortage that's getting a 479 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: lot of attention, and it comes from the category of 480 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: feminine care products. Yes, folks, apparently there is a big 481 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: tampon shortage. I had noticed that, but well, I don't 482 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: think you're shopping for them too much, not anymore. Now, 483 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: at least you can have an alternative with that one. 484 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: What would what would the alternative hats? Oh? I see, Oh, yes, 485 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: you're right, women are doing or well, I'm just saying 486 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: if they're if you can't find a tampon, then you can. Yeah, 487 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: you have to deal with that. I think she should 488 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: take over this one. You're and I are clueless. I 489 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what goes on down there, 490 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: right Uli, Well that I know. It's just odd the 491 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: way this whole thing has worked. Why just certain things 492 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: like unique things like tampons are suddenly not to be found. 493 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: I remember at the beginning of this, it was toilet paper, 494 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: and we all mused over that for months. Remember well, no, 495 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: that was a hoarding problem with the toilet paper. This 496 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: would just be the same thing. This is the raw materials. 497 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: Where did they come from? Is another China thing. I 498 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know whether they made of What 499 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: are the raw materials in the tampony? Eric, it's falling 500 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: asleep there, I'm I mean, I'm guessing it's plastic and 501 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: just cotton. Very good, Eric, thank you. So there's shortage 502 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: of plastic and cotton, plus the many products made out 503 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: of plastic and cotton. So I don't know. This story 504 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: at the Washington Post says it's raw material costs are soaring, 505 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: fuel labor shortages, and an embattled an embattled supply, ain't 506 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm battled supplied. It's data on the shortage is patchy, 507 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: but scarcit inflation have been reflected in price increases. The 508 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: average cost for a package of tampons is up nearly 509 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: ten percent in the past year, and the pads have 510 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: risen eight point three percent. The ones that right, well, 511 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: they get they're getting more expensive, But the shortage is 512 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: what the issue is. Yes, Oh, and product recalls have 513 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: hit a ten year high. Oh yeah, I mean they 514 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: can't even manufacture a tampon. How hard is that? I mean, 515 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a thing that just absorbs my daughter. My daughter, 516 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: just as an aside, graduated from college over the weekend, 517 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: and so I have a little party for her, and 518 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: I went to go get balloons, and apparently we have 519 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: a helium shortage. Oh that's been around for a few years. 520 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: That's been around for a while. Yeah, okay, I didn't know. 521 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: I've gotten balloons many many times over the past years, 522 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, I don't know, they 523 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: ran out of helium. You're right, that is a that 524 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 1: is aggravating though. It is when you have a party plant. Yes. 525 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: Nirov Patel, president and chief executive of something called Bristle Cone, 526 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: a supply chain logistics company. It is raw materials that 527 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: include cotton, rayon, and plastic. It's been squeezed in recent 528 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: years by the rush to produce medical essentials in the pandemic. 529 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: Supply challenges are heaping problems on producers. All right, So 530 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: the plastic and the ray and the rayon and cotton 531 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: it's being used for other Yeah that those are pretty 532 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: common ingredients and many medical supply things. So it's apparently 533 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: having an effect I got to mention the NPR thing. Yeah, 534 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: I said, that's going to be the kicker right here. Yeah, 535 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: So NPR sent out a tweet about the tampon shortage. 536 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: Tampons and necessity for many are becoming harder and harder 537 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: to find. People who menstruate are saying it's hard to 538 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: find tampons. People who mention not women, people who mentioned 539 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: because there are I have to do this every time. 540 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: There are people who men situate who do not count 541 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: themselves or consider themselves women. Really they have identified as men. Yes, 542 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: what's that? They still have those parts? What's the body 543 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: part down there? But they don't care what the body parts. 544 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: They want to be called a man or maybe they 545 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: want to be called non binary. But the thing is 546 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: the word woman. This is really bizarre. It's being like 547 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: drummed out of the vocabulary. Is not the only thing, right, Yeah, 548 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: But it's like everybody's looking for neutral they want everything 549 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: to be neutralized. Who is do you know anybody who's 550 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: who the toxic male has caused all this? I don't 551 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: know responses where're gonna You're not gonna just reduce us 552 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: to a gender. And I don't know any woman who 553 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: doesn't use woman to identify themselves. Do you have met 554 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: any a woman who doesn't use the word woman to 555 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: identify themselves. I've never met one, have you that'll talk 556 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: to people about how they identify themselves. That's just it. 557 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: It's just assumed, right because they have I just call 558 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: people by their name. I don't say, you know, hey, woman. Well, 559 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean sometimes they refer to themselves as being a woman, 560 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: right in some way. I guess that that. Alexandria Accascio 561 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: Cortez said this in public the other day. Um, it 562 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: was about an abortion bill. This is about making sure 563 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: that someone like me as a woman or any menstruating 564 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: person in this country.
