This is the replacement for Los 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonnen, which is District eleven, the 31 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: worst councilman in Los Angeles history, the worst politician in 32 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: American history, the most destructive councilman that's ever been seen. 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: He's the one who single handedly ruined large neighborhoods, large 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: swaths of the West Side with with his weird issh 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: for homeless people in criminals. Yeah, and even put out 36 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: a voter guide. And he did not pick as his 37 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: replacement our next guest. Surprise, there's all kinds of frightening 38 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: mini Bonnens Bonn and wannabe's running. Ignore all of them. 39 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Trust me, Tracy Park for City Council. That's who you 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: should vote for in the eleventh district on the West 41 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: side of Los Angeles. She's the one who should win, 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and we're gonna get her on. Now, Tracy, how are you? Hey, guys, 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm really good. Are you? I'm doing good. I've met you, 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: I guess about a year ago at an event, and 45 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: we had you on the show last summer when you 46 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: first announced your running. How good do you feel about 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: the campaign? I don't know if you do polling or 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: what your method of determining. You know how well the 49 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: campaign is doing. What do you think is going on? Oh? Well, 50 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished over 51 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: the last year. We, through hard work and determination, have 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: built an amazing broad coalition across all of CB eleven. 53 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: The polling looks good and I am cautiously optimistic heading 54 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: into the primary on June seven. Now, is this a 55 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: situation where if nobody gets fifty percent plus a vote, 56 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: then the top two go to November? Is that going 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: to happen? That's what would happen. Yes, I'm hopeful about 58 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: the fifty percent plus one. That would be ideal. So 59 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: we can spend the next six months working on policy 60 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: and hiring the transition team. But given the number of 61 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: candidates in the race, most likely there will be a 62 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: runoff in November. What is the number one thing you're 63 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: going to jump on right away if you get elected 64 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: in November? What what is what is the one issue? Well, 65 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: homelessness in public safety, but in so many ways those 66 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: two things are interrelated, and so those are the top 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: of mind issues for I think the majority of voters 68 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: in CD eleven and across the city of La What 69 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: do you You're dealing with a city council where often 70 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: they voted fourteen to one against Joe Buscayeno and any 71 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: common sense idea he had about those issues? What can 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: you do for the district regardless of what the city 73 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: council does as a whole, you do have some It 74 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: seems like Bonnet had a lot of autonomy and setting 75 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: homeless policy and deciding how much police presence there'd be 76 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: and what would be enforced and what not enforced. That 77 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: seemed to be true. Is it? It is true? Actually? 78 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: And you know our no camping ordinance is a perfect 79 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: example of that. As you probably know, under that ordinance, 80 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: each individual council member gets to decide whether or not 81 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: to do any enforcement and where that enforcement will occur 82 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: within his or her own district. Now, not only did 83 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: Mike Bonnen vote against see ordinance, but he has not 84 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: brought forward any enforcement resolutions to the full council, and 85 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: he has voted against enforcement efforts that other council members 86 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: have tried to do in their district. So that is 87 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: something that you know, I will be taking up on 88 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: day one. Our neighborhood and community councils across the district 89 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: have submitted their own motions identifying locations where they would 90 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: like to see enforcement, and that's going to be my 91 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: top agenda when I get to city Hall. What are 92 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: you hearing from people when you're gradual campaign? You know 93 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: what I am hearing across the entire district is widespread 94 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: frustration and anger with the status quo, the lack of 95 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: responsiveness from the CD eleven council office, and widespread concerns 96 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: about public safety. And frankly, people are you know, they're 97 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: concerned about the homelessness and the impact that it's having 98 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: on every pocket of our community. You know, our business 99 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: community is impacted by this. There are encampments around schools. 100 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: Every day there's you know, another encampment fire or RV fire, 101 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: and people are just they're frustrated with all of it. 102 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: What would you do with that Bologna Wetlands situation there 103 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: with all the RVs piled up there and all the 104 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: pollution that's going on there in that environment. So that is, 105 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: first of all, something that should never have been allowed 106 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: to happen in the first place. And you know, we 107 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: talked about this at length the last time I was 108 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: on You know, that is a state protected environmentally sensitive 109 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: habitat area and that encampment should never have been allowed 110 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: to exist there, and certainly not to stay for the 111 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: length of time that it has been there. You know, 112 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: that is that whole strip of Jefferson is designated as 113 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: no parking And I'm sorry, but the COVID you know, 114 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: moratorium on parking enforcement just isn't holding water as an 115 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: excuse anymore. So many of those vehicles are inoperable, they're dangerous. 116 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: There has been constant reports of crime and violence and 117 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: the problem has just gotten worse. While the Council office 118 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: has done absolutely nothing to get that situation addressed the 119 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: crime especially. I mean my next door app feed is 120 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: every day it's one of the first things I look at, 121 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: and I can't believe the number of security videos that 122 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: people shoot from their homes and their apartments and cars 123 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: are being broke into in their driveways or just outright 124 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: stolen guys breaking into mail rooms of apartment buildings and 125 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: grabbing everything they can, packages, people weirdos showing up on 126 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: people's back porches and back steps. It's in every neighborhood 127 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: that I can read about, Like nobody is getting spared 128 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: on the West Side, just all this random burglary type 129 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: crime and trespassing crime. What can be done about this here? 130 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: Because everybody's upset and scared. They're scared to go outside 131 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: to park in front of their house and get in 132 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: their car at night. Yeah, And you know, there is 133 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: literally not a meeting that I am in with constituents 134 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: around the district where I'm not hearing those exact same stories, 135 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: whether it's been a property crime, a vandalism crime, or 136 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: someone who has been personally assaulted or victimized by folks 137 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: on the streets. And this is occurring in pockets of 138 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: the district that historically have been safe and generally pretty 139 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: well insulated from these types of incidents, and you know, 140 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: there's just sort of this you know, perfect storm of 141 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: circumstances that have happened. With defunding LAPD, we lost about 142 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: eight hundred officers. You know, with Prop forty seven, we 143 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: have reduced what used to be felony drug charges down 144 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: to misdemeanor and fractions you can feel up to nine 145 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars with impunity, and we have a 146 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: district attorney that won't prosecute crime, and it has emboldened 147 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: criminals across the city. You know, even with violent crime. 148 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: We saw in twenty twenty one nearly four hundred homicides 149 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: and that is more than we have seen in a 150 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: decade in our city. And you know, we are going 151 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: to have to reinvest in community safety, and that means 152 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: funding LAPD, ensuring that they have the staffing and the 153 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: resources that are necessary not only to work on the 154 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: prevention side of crime, but you know, to actually investigate times. 155 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: And we need somebody that is going to take the 156 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: thumb off the scale and let them do their jobs. 157 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: And frankly, over here on the West Side, you know, 158 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: our police partners have been hamstrung by the council office. 159 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: And I am absolutely thrilled and honored to be endorsed 160 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: by our nine thousand frontline men and women of the 161 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: LAPD because they know that I have their back and 162 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: that the vast majority of the constituents on the West 163 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: Side appreciate them and recognize how important they are to 164 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: our communities. And I don't know if you have endorsed anyone, 165 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: but it sounds like you're winning that council seat. Would 166 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: be a good partnership with Rick Caruso winning from mayor, 167 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: so you know, I think that there are you know, 168 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: a number of mayoral candidates that have excellent resumes, and 169 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: I am not going to publicly endorse anyone.

She is trying to 186 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: replace Mike Bonnen the LA City Council seat to District eleven. 187 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: More coming up. Even look at the other candidates. They're scary, 188 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: They're clowns, They're monsters. John and Ken Cafi. Speaking the election, 189 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: we just talked to a candidate from Mike Bonnen seat 190 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: on the LA City Council. The gangster rap pioneer Snoop 191 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: Dogg has endorsed Rick Caruso from mayor, which is kind 192 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: of interesting, isn't it funny? So it was a long 193 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: time South Central activist by the name of Sweet Alice. 194 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: I've been hearing her names for many years, and they 195 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: did not go for Karen Bass only because I'm at 196 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: least saying that because that would have been what people 197 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: would have might have guessed that, you know, a celebrity 198 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: like Snoop Dog would do. But apparently, legitimately it's not 199 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: just public relations eyewash. He legitimately has been involved running 200 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: or funding a lot of organizations to help people in 201 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: the minority neighborhoods for a long time. And he's got 202 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: a lot of friends in leadership down in those neighborhoods. 203 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 1: So he really, he really has. It wasn't just for 204 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: show to put out a brochure and have a photo op. 205 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: He's really done a lot of work down there and 206 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: for a long time, long long ago before he ran 207 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: from mayor. Now moving over to another city. Problem, And 208 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: here are two numbers to throw at you. LA Unified 209 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: School Districts is expecting enrollment to drop by thirty percent 210 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: in the next decade. And here's the other number. The 211 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: teachers want a twenty percent raise. Now, how do these 212 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: two things jive mathematically? Can you believe that there were 213 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: twenty percent raise over the next two years? That's their demand. 214 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: They refused to show up for work for a year 215 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: and a half and destroyed the education of hundreds of 216 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: thousands of kids. And then the first contract negotiation, it's like, hey, 217 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 1: we had twenty percent more. I've never seen an organization 218 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,119 Speaker 1: that deserves just to be just to be flushed from society. 219 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: Just every all of them ought to be fired. Do 220 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: you remember, I mean doing this show, and it was 221 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: probably fifteen or twenty years ago. They were panicking that 222 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: they had to be build, build, build, because enrollment is 223 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: going to boom. And you know what, it peaked twenty 224 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: one years ago, seven thirty seven thousand students. It's been 225 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: reclining since then. So again the exact opposite land, right, 226 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: because you wanted to build, build, build new campuses. Instead 227 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: we're seeing enrollment to cline. Organizations make fake predictions about 228 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: growth and they want to grow their kingdom in order 229 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: to get financing. If they say, well, you know, in 230 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: twenty years we're gonna have two hundred and fifty thousand 231 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: more kids, well then you're gonna get funding for that. 232 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: And eighty percent of funding of a school is for 233 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: teacher administration and staff salaries and pensions and health benefits. 234 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: So it's all about paychecks. It's all payroll. That's what 235 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: school funding is. Eighty percent is payroll. I don't know 236 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: what people people saying money for the schools they know 237 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what they think the money goes for, 238 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: but four out of every five dollars yet no what 239 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: gold plated books? I mean, I don't understand. You have 240 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: to you have to pay for the buildings, the construction, 241 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: but that's using a bond measure, right, And there's there's 242 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: a there's a stable mortgage on that. And most of 243 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: these schools were built a long time ago, so most 244 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: of the money, most of the operating expenses, is payroll expenses. 245 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: So when you hear more money for the schools, well, 246 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: you know there with the windfall in Sacramento, by law, 247 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: a big percentage of that windfall has to go to 248 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: the schools. So the teachers are all lined up and saying, hey, 249 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: that windfalls our windfall, that's our twenty percent increase. But 250 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: if they get a thirty percent enrollment declined, they're not 251 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: going to get as much money. That's how it works. 252 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: They're paid based on the pupils. The reasons cited for 253 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: this uh, Families moved to more affordable areas, birthrates dropped, 254 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: immigration dropped, did it really? And charter schools are starting 255 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: to grow. Can you imagine pitching to a family to 256 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: go to an LA public school. Hey, would you like 257 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: to send your kid to the school down the block? 258 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: Do you know it's one of the worst schools in 259 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: the nation. Do you know the teachers last year basically 260 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: went on strike for a year and a half because 261 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: they didn't want to take a bath for eighteen months. 262 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: They didn't want to stand up and get dressed and 263 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: go to school, so they stayed home and they wouldn't 264 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: teach anybody. And do you realize that you come to 265 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: this school your kids grades? We're all made up. You know, 266 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: we'll give you good grades. Even if you don't know 267 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: a damn thing. You can be dumb as a box 268 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: of rocks, that's okay, we'll give you a bad plus 269 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: at least. And this is always worth mentioning on top 270 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: of the twenty percent raise. Keep this in mind, they 271 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: get lifetime retiree health benefits. About that, it is a code. 272 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: Would you imagine that having lifetime health insurance? It's a 273 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: criminal racket. They steal just millions and millions of dollars 274 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: from taxpayers and the students get nothing. I mean, I 275 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: mean this is great. Under the current structure, there could 276 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: be more LA, unified retirees and dependence receiving healthcare benefits 277 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: and active employees, according to the chief financial officer of 278 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: the school district, and they retire relic That was never contemplated. 279 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: He said, no, no, because the people are retiring when 280 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: they're fifty five years old. They're living to ninety five, 281 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: and now you got forty years worth of pension and 282 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: health payments to pay health payments for people living into 283 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: their eighties or nineties. That's unbelievably expensive, right, And the 284 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: kids that they quote taught got out of school and 285 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: don't know damn thing. They literally don't know stuff. They 286 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: can't even make change when you go and buy a 287 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: coffee at Starbucks. Believe me, they can't do change. It's 288 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: a good thing that we've mostly switched to a credit 289 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: card system because on the rare occasion when I like 290 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: hand cash to somebody, almost every time they have a block, 291 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: they don't know, Wow, it's four sixty nine and he 292 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: gave me a ten, huh, and they just stare, and 293 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: then sometimes they ask for a consultation. I'm not making 294 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: this up. I've seen this multiple times. I thought though, 295 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: if you just put the numbers into the cash registered, 296 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: the change amount comes pops up. On the screen. No, 297 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: isn't that the way? But then you have to convert 298 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: it to coins, so you have to add it in 299 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: your right if it says, if it says, the chance 300 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: says seven dollars and two cents, how hard is that 301 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: to figure out? Well, the two cents is cheesy, okay, 302 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: but it's but if it's fifty seven cents, what do 303 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: you do there? They don't know to grab two quarters 304 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: and nickel and no, two pennies, No, they don't. Well, 305 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: I've not seen that. That's a good one. Well, I've 306 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: seen that. I've seen. I can tell you the place 307 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: I went. I've seen that. All right, let me come back, boy. 308 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: There are some really new bizarre stories coming out of 309 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: the Buffalo shooter situation. We'll get to that next John 310 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: and Ken show. Calf, I'm all right, we're gonna talk 311 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: to an attorney representing some new clients. They're suing Soulcal 312 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: Edison over the lagun and the guelfire. That'll be here 313 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: at five h five. The Buffalo shooter. Wow, there's two 314 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: or three really bizarre stories that have cropped up today. 315 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: Let's look around, all right, Debora Mark's not here. Apparently 316 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: the alleged Buffalo shooter Peyton Gendron once beheaded a cat. 317 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: According to his journal. Wow, isn't that classic though? And 318 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: what do we say about people that torture and kill animals? 319 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: I remember reading about other mass shooters or serial killers 320 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: that as they were when they were children, that the 321 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: cat always gets it, like they killed the cat, and 322 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: they usually kill it in some brutal, gruesome way. Yeah, 323 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: he's claiming, because this is his up, don't do that 324 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: to dogs? In a journal on this discord app and 325 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: he said that this straight cat was attacking his family cat, 326 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: but he chased it around the garage and he eventually 327 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: grabbed it and started stabbing it, and then he used 328 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: to hatch it and hacked off its head. That's what 329 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: he wrote in his journal. Yeah, and and listen, and 330 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: I look, if you have a weak's stomach and you're 331 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: very sensitive about animal violence, I understand, so you might 332 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: want to turn the radio down. But he took meticulous 333 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: notes to the killing. You know, you have to understand 334 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: what these people are like. And I find it impossible 335 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: to believe, impossible to believe that at the psych evaluation 336 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: team had done even five minutes of digging they wouldn't. 337 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: They would not have discovered this kind of darkness. He 338 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: writes about the cat. It bled from the mouth, and 339 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: I was able to grab the cat's tail and wind 340 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: up and smack the cat's head on the concrete ground. 341 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: Oh dear god, I did that a few times. And 342 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: when it went limp, I grabbed a hatchet and swung 343 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: at its neck twenty times until it came off. And 344 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: this is even more chilling if he wrote that he 345 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: felt no empathy or emotion after killing the cat. Honestly, 346 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: right now, I don't feel anything about killing that cat. 347 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: I thought it would be in pain. I thought I 348 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: would be in pain, but I literally just felt blank. 349 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: And there you have is like the the psychosis. There 350 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: you have what a psychopath is like. They just see 351 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: the photo. No, I just read the print out a 352 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: photo of the cat. It's a photo of him. It's 353 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: a selfie. He's wearing goggles and there's little blood spatters 354 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: all over his face. I did see that. How freaking 355 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: sick is that? Okay, okay, this is this is what 356 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: astonishes me. Here he's he's sitting in the mental health center. 357 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: They want to do an evaluation because he's threatening murder suicide, 358 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 1: murder suicide, which means he was going to shoot up 359 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: the school, And even the police said, it's like, well, 360 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: this guy's nuts and right now, all right, And this 361 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: has been true for about twenty five years. I think 362 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: I think all the serial killers, or all the shooting 363 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: spree murder spree characters, they've all been online. They've all 364 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: written extensively, They've made this videos, they've written manifestos. It's 365 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: all there. I'm just astonished. And you know what I 366 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: noticed in public life, Hardly anybody in public life is 367 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: saying that out loud. Why didn't the employees at the 368 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 1: psych center just find a way to go online and 369 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: see what his writings were about? They had to be there. 370 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: If you're writing about murder suicide, it means you're going 371 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: to shoot up the school. You're going let's just assume 372 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: that that's what it means. And if they're going to 373 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: shoot up the school, it means they've been written about it, 374 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: writing about it, and fantasizing about it for months and 375 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: maybe years. It seemed to me he used this discord 376 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: app which we talked about before. The other bizarre story 377 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: is about thirty minutes before he started shooting in the 378 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: supermarket and Buffalo. He invited a small group of people 379 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: to join a chat room online. Now, it says here, 380 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: up until that moment, the posts in the room on 381 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: the chat application Discord had been visible only to Peyton Jen, 382 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: who for months uploaded pictures of himself posing with his 383 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: gear and his weapons. But it says none of the 384 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: people he invited to review his writings appeared to have 385 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: alerted law enforcement. He basically want to discuss his plan 386 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: to kill people because they're all into it. They all 387 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: would like to do that too. That's why they go 388 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: on the app. That's why they're in these specific chat rooms, 389 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: is to fantasize and discuss murdering their classmates. That's their thing. 390 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: It says he was working to build an audience because 391 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: he used to know he live streamed the attack until 392 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: they cut it off after a couple of minutes in 393 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: they live streamed it. He live streamed. Yeah, but I mean, 394 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean he's not the first one to do that either. 395 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: It's all the same pattern. In fact, they pick up 396 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: the method from the last guy. You know, he was reading. 397 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: I think about that killer in christ Church, New Zealand, right, 398 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: the one who went into the mosque. I think he 399 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: live streamed his killing as well. This is, this is, it's, 400 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: it's all there, and it just seems like the police 401 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: and the mental health evaluators first thing they do is 402 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: like get his computer, get his iPhone, get his iPad. 403 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: And bizarre story number three is apparently dispatcher hung up 404 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: on a Buffalo supermarket employee calling it about the mass shooting. 405 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: That's really bizarre too. A Latitia and assistant manager at 406 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: the Tops Friendly market said she called nine one one 407 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: to report the gun shots. I tried to call nine 408 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: one one. I was whispering because I could hear him 409 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: close by, and when I whispered on the phone, the 410 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: dispatcher started yelling at me. Why aren't you whispering? You 411 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: don't have to whisper. The dispatcher seemed underwear that the 412 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: gunman was already inside the market. And I'm trying to 413 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: tell her man he's in the story shooting, it's an 414 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: active shooter. I'm scared for my life image and she 415 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: said something crazy to me and then she hung up 416 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: in my face. I had to call my boyfriend front 417 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: to call nine one one. Shockingly, they are actually discipplining well, 418 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: they should be outright firing this dispatcher. Can you imagine 419 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: a dispatcher going, why are you whispering? Like they never 420 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: got a call before from somebody somebody's trapped in a 421 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: house and there's a bad guy stalking around and you 422 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: don't want to let him know you're calling nine one one. 423 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: They really have never encountered that before. That was never 424 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: part of the training session. Good lord, it seems hard 425 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: to believe. Here's another part in his In his diary, 426 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: uh these are I guess more online entries, he wrote 427 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: about his relationship with his family and his efforts to 428 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: raise money for the attack. He was going to sell 429 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: his jackets online, and he took trips to local flea 430 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: markets to buy silver coins that it could resell later 431 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: at a higher rate. He wanted to finance I guess 432 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: the because you know, he needed needed ammunition, He says, 433 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: my power. It's no little about me. In case you're 434 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: wondering about the relationship with the parents, they don't know 435 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: about the hundreds of silver ounces I've had, or the 436 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: hundreds of dollars I've spent on AMMO. They don't know 437 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: that I spent close to a thousand dollars on random 438 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: military bleep. They don't even know I own a shotgun 439 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 1: or an AR fifteen or illegal magazines. Promise me, if 440 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: you have a child, you will be there, and you 441 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: will be close. Be a friend dear child, and make 442 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: sure they know that you will always be there to 443 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: help them talk about their problems and ways to solve it. 444 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: And never make them feel bad, never in capital letters, 445 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: never make them feel bad for coming to you. I 446 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: guess he was an only child. I didn't see anything 447 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: about siblings. Oh they really weren't. Just never poked around. Huh. 448 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine, like one of my sons sneaking 449 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: an AR fifteen in the house, you know. And I 450 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: remember reading about again other of these mass shooters, same 451 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: kind of relationship with the parents. The parents were kind 452 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: of dead to them. There was just no interaction, no connection, 453 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: no awareness. That's the only way you could end up 454 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: with this situation. He may have been born at psycho, 455 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: but if you're you're paying attention, you can at least 456 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: prevent this from happening. All right, we got more coming up, 457 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: John and can Cafi. All right, there's already a lawsuit 458 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: against so kell Edison for last week's LAGUNAA Gel fire. Quick, 459 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: we'll talk to an attorney representing those who are suing 460 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: coming up. Obviously, it's probably people that lost their homes. 461 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: Number of homes so I think it was ten. Yeah, 462 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: And all the public officials in the media keep dodging 463 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: that that is the cause of so many of the 464 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: big fires in the state these last few years. They 465 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: keep prattling on about the drought which they can't control, 466 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: or the climate which they cannot control, and they ignore 467 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: how these energy companies run and they can control that, 468 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: but they don't because they're paid off, they bribed. This afternoon, 469 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: Old Joe made a move about a big issue with 470 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: many parents, the shortage of baby formula. He is invoking 471 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: the Defense Production Act. Remember all that when Trump was 472 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: president concerning stuff we needed for COVID. Yeah, that forcing 473 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: companies factories to produce a product that's necessary for the 474 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: good of the nation. And it somewhat even have to 475 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, shift and you know, their production towards the 476 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: needed items. It says here. He also has agreed for 477 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: an emergency airlift of baby formula from other places in 478 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: the world that could get it here. Those are the 479 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: two moved two moves that he is making this afternoon. 480 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: And of course we already know that the FDA is 481 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: allowing this abbot production plant in Michigan to reopen. They 482 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: had some bacterial problems. That was a horrible, horrible overreaction 483 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: by the government and by Abbott to lock down the 484 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: entire You can't do that. I was reading a story 485 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: to The Atlantic magazine because I was wondering about this. 486 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: It just had never really occurred to me. What did 487 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: people do in the old days if they had a 488 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: problem with breastfeeding because sometimes before formula, yeah, I mean 489 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: the old old days, right, and kids died. Yeah, that's 490 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: what happened. As kids died, you watched them waste away 491 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: from a lack of nourishment because you didn't have This 492 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: will happen with animals. You didn't have modern commercial formulas 493 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: until the mid twentieth century, so probably around the nineteen 494 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: fifties and before that. If you didn't produce the milk 495 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: in your breast, so there was some kind of connection problem, 496 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: or the milk dried up, the kid just might die. 497 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: I had no idea to have a story about a 498 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: woman named Elizabeth Hanson in seventeen twenty four. Um, wow, 499 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: they documented that. Yeah, she was an English This fascinating story. 500 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: She was an English colonist from New Hampshire. She was 501 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: captured from her home by the Native American Wabanaki tried 502 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: tribe they rated this colony, and she and her infant 503 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: were captured and she lost her milk supply because she 504 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: wasn't eating. She was exhausted, she was traumatized, and no 505 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: more milk would come out and her kids. She tried 506 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: to feed her baby broth and or she tried to 507 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: warm water in her mouth and let it dribble down 508 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: over her breast for the infant to suck on. But 509 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: the baby was starving. She was more likely to die 510 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: than live. And one of her captors, an older woman, 511 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: one of the Wakanabe captors, showed her how to make 512 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: a Wabanaki recipe for and food out of walnut milk 513 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: and boil it with cornmeal, and that worked and saved 514 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: the baby. The first formula. Yeah, so the ancient tribal 515 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: women figured out how to They had a recipe in 516 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: this situation, but the English colonist had no idea what 517 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: to do. And I just never realized how helpless people 518 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: would be if they couldn't produce milk and we didn't 519 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: have commercial formulas, and that's that's why the infant death 520 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: rate was so high way back when. So I know 521 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: of the formula consumed in this country is made in 522 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: this country. So that's why this has become a big 523 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: issue with the shortage. Yeah, well that's why they're going 524 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: to do this emergency airlift to bring some in from 525 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: other parts of the world. I don't know what government 526 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: bureaucratic blockheads decided it was a good idea to shut 527 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: down the entire Avid factory over their problem. I mean, 528 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,479 Speaker 1: that should never happen, it's just the style. And then 529 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: went on for weeks and weeks and months. Really, I 530 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: think February of this was originally shut down, and now 531 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: all the stockpiles have been used up. I'd say I 532 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: would just run by the insane, all right. When we 533 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: come back. It was twenty homes that were destroyed last 534 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: week in the fire in Laguna Niguel. We're gonna have 535 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: an attorney on the air representing some clients who are 536 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: already sewing so Cal Edison for that fire.
