Right now, I'm 30 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: going to focus on an interview with Vogue magazine, which 31 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: was a fashion magazine, right, celebrity fashion. Sure, a lot 32 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: of women like it. Sometimes they've had a good interview 33 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: in it. This one was written by Maya Singer. Now, 34 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Maya Singer slobbers over Gavin Newsom in such an overt way, 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: I'm sure she thinks she's a journalist. Do you think 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating? 37 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: All right, let's hear it. 38 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: This is her writing. Let's get this out of the way. 39 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: He is embarrassingly handsome, embarrassingly his hair seasoned with silver, 40 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his 41 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: final State of the State address. And then she quotes 42 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: him giving the address, saying things like secret police businesses, 43 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: rated windows, smash citizens, detained citizens, shot masked men snatching 44 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: people in broad daylight. And she writes his tone is temperate, 45 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: but the words echo through the state Capitol's Assembly chamber, 46 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: the August backdrop for his speech. Newsom shakes his head, 47 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: seeming more mournful than angry, seeming yes, presidential. None of 48 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: this is normal. He says, embarrassingly handsome. 49 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: I've never heard of somebody being embarrassingly handsome or beautiful. 50 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: It must drive Trump nuts, She writes, Newsom life ardent, energetic, 51 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: a glimmer of optimism in his eye, Kennedy esque, where's 52 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: my vomit bag? I always have one here? Where is it? 53 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Add to that his stunning wife and four horrible kids, 54 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: and the executive strut of a self made millionaire who 55 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: has spent the past seven years at the helm of 56 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: a state, big complex and rich enough to be a 57 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: nation of its own. I'm only on paragraph too. 58 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 3: Is this an opinion writer? 59 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: Feature writer? 60 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: Okay? 61 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: It's built around his new memoir called young Man in 62 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: a Hurry, where he talks about kind of how stupid 63 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: he's been all his life in the low nine sixty 64 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: sat scores the ninety three. IQ couldn't really read as 65 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: a kid. Even his mother thought he was a dunce. 66 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I'll get to that. Mothers know do you have enough kid? No, 67 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: If you have enough kids, you know which one is nuts, 68 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: which one's the dunce, which one in is trouble? She says. 69 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: The book sets him up, and I'm giving you just 70 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: a tiny excerpt. This is a thirteen page story if 71 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: you print it out. The book sets him up, sets 72 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: him up as someone who fights, someone who dreams big, 73 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: someone who sweats the details, someone with a desire to serve. 74 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: What the memoir does is reassure you that Gavin Newsom 75 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: is a person with frailties and failings, a man who 76 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: had to search for himself. Where am I? I can't 77 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: find myself? Where'd I go to search for himself? I 78 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: made a bad mistake. I lost myself. Somebody helped me 79 00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: search for me. Because of his problems reading, he says, 80 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: when language eludes you, this is him. When language eludes you, 81 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: identity eludes you to you start trying on costumes to 82 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: see if they will fit. See. This is supposed to 83 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: explain why he's such a chameleon. And he has different 84 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: views on different days depending who he talks to, because 85 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: he's always trying on identities. I tell this to somebody 86 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: the other day that if for some reason California was 87 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: a majority Republican state like it was thirty years ago, 88 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: forty years ago, Newsom would be a flat out Republican. 89 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: He sells. He tries to sell whatever he thinks people 90 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: are going to buy in that moment, wherever he's standing, 91 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to express my relationship to my truth. There 92 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: you go. 93 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 6: Nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there 94 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 6: and lies to you. 95 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure. So you start trying on costumes to 96 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: see if they'll fit. He writes of his childhood struggles 97 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: with undiagnosed dyslexia, one source of his confusion about who 98 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: he was and where he fit in the world. So 99 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: he didn't know who he was, and he didn't know 100 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: where he was, and he didn't know how to speak 101 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: about it. When I come back, I'll tell you what 102 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: his mother thought of him. 103 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: She shall find him embarrassingly handsome. 104 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: Yes, Maya Singer, this is what passes for journalism. Oh, 105 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: and I'll give you a list of things that Maya 106 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: Singer admits in the story she did not ask him 107 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: about She gotta be around for that too. 108 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 109 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 4: six forty. 110 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: Are we keeping our lunch down? So far? We have 111 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: one of the largest tongue baths in history done by 112 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: Maya Singer Timity Tibbity too for Vogue, which is a 113 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: fashion magazine. Normally you'd have very attractive models on the 114 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: cover of Vogue. Well, their big story is Gavin Newsom, 115 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: and I have to repeat the first line she writes, 116 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: Let's get this out of the way. He is embarrassingly handsome. 117 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: That was the Now. Maya Singer claims she's a journalist 118 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: and a filmmaker based in New York City. A contributing 119 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: editor to Vogue, she has earned wide acclaim for her profiles. Okay, now, 120 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: when I left off, I'm just very very long article 121 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: he was She was quoting him. He's still suffering because 122 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: he had dyslexia as a child. And I've known a 123 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: number of people with dyslexia, and people my friend went 124 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: through this and said, yeah, even his own parents thought 125 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: he had a stupid Certainly the teachers did, and other 126 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: kids because he can't read well. This apparently has had 127 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: a huge impact on little Gavin to the point where 128 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: he doesn't know who he is or where he is. 129 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: When language eludes you, identity elludes you too. He's a 130 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: man who had to search for himself. And you start 131 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: trying on costumes to see if they'll fit, he says, 132 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: and he quotes Oscar Wilde, what's the quote? First you pose? 133 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: Then and his voice trails off. He's had to let 134 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: some things go and writing the memoir, because that's what 135 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: this is based on. This memoir young man in a hurry, 136 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: which isn't out yet, but so he says, like, you 137 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: let some things go, like when my mother told me, 138 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: it's okay to be average. That's what mom said to him. 139 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: It's okay, Gavin to be average. L Worts. You're not 140 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: that bright, you don't have much going for you. You just 141 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: accept it's not average.

When she told him it's okay to be average, 144 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: I had so much resentment, so much hatred. This is 145 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: to his mom, and frankly, I was feeling that even 146 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: during the writing and then I began to understand. He says. 147 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: She was trying to let me know, Gavin, it's okay 148 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: to be you. 149 00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 7: What does this mean? 150 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: These are actually his thoughts going on in his head. 151 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: Have you ever not known who you are? 152 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 7: No? 153 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: Well, every day you wake up and you know I'm Deborah, right, 154 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: I think? 155 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 7: So? 156 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Have you ever not known where you are?

He had about ten or eleven wineries, restaurants, 210 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: things like that. And it's always bothered Gavin because at 211 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: some point he realized that he wasn't a self made man. 212 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: He had a rich sugar daddy family that gave it 213 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: his start.

Just it's my favorite Karen Bass clip because 250 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: she says nothing in it for a minute and a half. 251 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: And this is when her plane landed from Africa and 252 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: the fire had already been raging for over twenty four hours, 253 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: and the Palisades was on its way to obliteration. And 254 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: she comes off the plane and there is one British 255 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: reporter chasing her, stalking her, trying to get her to 256 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: say something, and she refuses to didn't say a word 257 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: because she'd care.

And he 264 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: was arrested because in Minneapolis, he and a group of 265 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: anti ice wackos stormed a church and interrupted a service 266 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: people were trying to practice their religion. And he was 267 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: part of the group, and he admitted it on camera 268 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: that he wasn't a journalist covering it. He became a 269 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: journalist after he got charged, because that's his defense. First 270 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: Amendment to the I was a journalist chronicling this event. 271 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: It's like, well, no, you weren't.

But here, here's where Bass shows up 279 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: and she was going to about to give her remarks. 280 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: I guess she was just inside the courtroom and she'd 281 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: come out of the courtroom and listen to how she 282 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: was greeted them come. 283 00:19:46,119 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 8: Through right right there. 284 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: It's f you Karen Bass.

She just kept yelling, F you Karen Bass 288 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: over and over again. Now, uh she best. Finally, I 289 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: guess gets to the microphone or gets to reporters, and 290 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: and she admits she's not a lawyer. Cut too, I 291 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: am not. 292 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: A lawyer, but I will tell you to listen to 293 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 2: this court proceedings. That made no sense at all. What 294 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: they described as his crime, from my perspective, a lay 295 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: person's perspective, was the work of a reporter. He went 296 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 2: into the church along with the protesters. 297 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 7: He covered the story. 298 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: He listened to what the people said who were in 299 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: the church. That is his crime. It made no sense 300 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: to me, And frankly that if I were the administration, 301 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 2: if I were the other side, I would be embarrassed 302 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: by that court proceeding that actually wanted to limit his 303 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 2: movements so he could not go anywhere except for Minnesota 304 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: to New York, a journalist who travels the country. 305 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: Except he admitted he was part of the group protesting. 306 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: They thought the assistant pastor of this Minneapolis church was 307 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: somehow involved with ICE. I don't know if that's true 308 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: or not, or what the involvement was, but that was 309 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: the reason this group of anti Ice wackos barged into 310 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: the church, and he admitted on his own video he 311 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: was part of the group. So she's either ignorant or 312 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: she's lying, and I'm sure she in line. Wait she 313 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: goes on. Listen to her. This is a cut number three. 314 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: So we have seen protesters under attack, We have seen 315 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: people being snatched off our street, and now all of 316 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 2: you are at risk, and this is just unacceptable.

Was 332 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: he aware of the protesters? 333 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 7: He is? 334 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: I consider him a journalist.

Such a failure, 400 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: such a liar. Inside Safe. As soon as she took office, 401 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: she said, this program, I'm gonna get lots of homeless 402 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: people off the streets. They're gonna be inside, they're gonna 403 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: be safe. We're gonna put them in motels and hotels, 404 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna find them permanent housing. And this 405 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: is gonna have to make a big impact on homelessness. Well, 406 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: it's almost three full years into it and they have 407 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: spent three hundred and twenty two million dollars on Inside Safe. 408 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: The Westside Current describes it as limited, uneven results. Inside 409 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: Safe And these are Karen Bass's numbers, and they lie 410 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: a lot, but let's roll with it. Inside Safe served 411 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: a little over five thousand people across one hundred and 412 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: fourteen encampments, but out of the five thousand, one hundred 413 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: seventy nine people. Only twelve hundred and forty three are 414 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: in housing. Okay, fifty one hundred been served, Only twelve 415 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: hundred god housing the largest share. Twenty three hundred have 416 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: exited the program. And then you asked the city, well, 417 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: what happened to them? 418 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 7: Who don't know? 419 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: We don't know. They don't write it down. See, shortly 420 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: after they started inside Safe, they realized, wow, this really 421 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: doesn't work. This is a cost of waste of money. 422 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: So they stopped. They stopped sharing the results with the media, 423 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: with the public, and of course the lazy ass media 424 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: here doesn't pursue it except Westside Current dot com, which 425 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: is a local paper on the West Side. Yeah, twenty 426 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: three hundred people exited the program. Nobody knows where they are. 427 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: They're sixteen hundred in interim placements inside Safe. The spending 428 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: amounts to roughly two hundred and fifty nine thousand per 429 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: person housed, So they only got twelve hundred housed at 430 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: of fifty one hundred, and it cost them two hundred 431 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: and fifty nine thousand dollars per first two hundred and 432 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: fifty nine thousand. I why not just give him that 433 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: check and see what happens. Give him that check and 434 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: an airplane ticket and send them to some some what 435 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: other state. You know, there isn't another state in the 436 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: Union that puts up with this. You know, we have 437 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: we have almost half of the street homelessness in the 438 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: whole country. Seriously, we do almost half of the street homeless. 439 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: So you can can't send him anywhere. In the past 440 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 1: four months alone, about two hundred and fifty Inside Safe 441 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: participants have returned to homelessness, and eighteen have died. Eighteen 442 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: have died, so eventually they get tossed back into the 443 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: street and they're dead. There's Karen Bass's compassion. It's like 444 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: you see Mom Donnie. In New York City. They have 445 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: this ferocious cold snap.

The old 450 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: mayor said, there's actually a law that says everyone is 451 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: entitled to shelter, and so they built shelters con mensurate 452 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: with the law. Donnie changed that like overrode the law 453 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: and said, now, if you want to stay outside, we're 454 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: not forcing you. It's not a it's your right. Fourteen 455 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: died froze to death. You imagine fourteen dead frozen bodies. Now, mom, 456 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: Donnie has changed his policy. Here's another inside safe experiment 457 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: in Venice.
