WEBVTT 1 00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.679 I am sixty It's later with mo Kelly. I'm live 2 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:34.600 everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And the immigrant marches continue. 3 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.520 Yesterday I told you all the things that were going wrong, 4 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.799 all the things that you weren't doing right, and why 5 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.479 this was not going to make any difference in the 6 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.600 grand scheme of things. But the marches have continued on, 7 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.359 and I think there is an opportunity to help everyone 8 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.479 understand why certain marches have worked in the past and 9 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.679 why some won't ever work. And it's more than just marching, 10 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:05.519 because because this Day Without Immigrants movement has continued into 11 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:10.879 its third day. In fact, marchers were school students, several 12 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.120 hundred from Marshall High School. They marched in the street, 13 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.799 some caring signs or a Mexican flag on their way 14 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.640 to Alvera Street, where they chanted and held a rally. 15 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.959 And I can say, as someone who's a student of 16 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.879 the civil rights movement, that is honorable. But if you 17 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:31.079 really want to be an effective protest, if you really 18 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.879 want something to come out of your action, something beyond 19 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.719 just appearing on TV, beyond being seen on KTLA or 20 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.200 k COW and having your thirty seconds of fame where 21 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.040 a microphone is being placed in front of your face. 22 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.280 If you want something beyond that, let me help you out. 23 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.640 Because we live in an age where we think that 24 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.799 protesting is just marching, just walking down the street with 25 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.319 a sign and a megaphone and being heard, and then 26 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.280 you are doing something. No, you're not really doing a lot. 27 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.280 You're making some noise. But why the civil rights movement 28 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.680 was successful was far more complicated than just marching. Marching 29 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.960 was just one tool. But this is just for anyone 30 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.240 who wants to plan a protest, anyone who maybe wants 31 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.840 to inspire the government to do something different, wants their 32 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.680 grievances to be heard and changed, to actually be made. 33 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.879 Please listen to me right now, because I want to 34 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.080 give you something which made the modern civil rights movement 35 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.520 successful that is not being used today. And if you 36 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.759 learn just some of the history, you would be better informed, prepared, 37 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.159 and ultimately more successful. Part of the reason why the 38 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.599 modern civil rights movement I'm talking about the late nineteen 39 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.439 fifties into the late nineteen sixties. Part of the reason 40 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.199 why that movement was successful, and it was over about 41 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.840 a ten to twelve year period. It wasn't like ten 42 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:09.360 to twelve days, ten to twelve years, depending on when 43 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.520 you mark the actual start of the civil rights movement. 44 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.039 But if anything, the modern civil rights movement had a 45 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.800 clearly defined goal, legislative goal. In other words, they were 46 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.319 making sure that all these efforts were pointing toward the 47 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.759 passage of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four 48 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.719 and the Voting Rights Act of nineteen sixty five. 49 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.319 That was the goal. 50 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.919 In other words, the ass what is it you're demanding 51 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.960 of government? That's why doctor King was meeting with then 52 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.000 President Kennedy. That was the ass That was the whole 53 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.840 point of the march on Washington. Okay, Now, what would 54 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.080 the methods use to gain leverage? Just because people in 55 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.479 power governments are not just going to give you something. 56 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.400 The Congress is not just going to sign something because 57 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.479 you're out there marching, you have to have some means 58 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.759 of leverage. For the civil rights movement, one of those 59 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.280 examples was the Montgomery bus boycott of nineteen fifty five, 60 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.439 where Rosa Parks, I think, on like February fourth of 61 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.439 nineteen fifty five, if I'm not mistaken, decided to not 62 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.800 sit at the back of the bus. That was one 63 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.839 instance of civil disobedience. But It set off the Montgomery 64 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:27.680 bus boycott, which lasted more than a year and brought 65 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.360 the bus company to its knees economically and forced them 66 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.839 to address the concerns of black Montgomery residents. 67 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:38.560 There was a plan. 68 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.279 People had to help carpool and they were taking random 69 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.240 strangers to work. People did not have transportation because they 70 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.720 refused to use any of the bus lines for more 71 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.720 than a year. That was the method to gain leverage. 72 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.480 And the last part is how committed are you to 73 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.839 the fight? And that's a part of the method to 74 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.680 gain leverage. Doctor King said, hey, we're not going to 75 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.079 use violence. We want to be seen on national TV 76 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.959 and seen by the world as not fighting back against 77 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.680 the brutality to gain the moral high ground. That was 78 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.519 the method and also demonstration of commitment to the fight. 79 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.079 How long are you willing to struggle and suffer to 80 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.040 retain your leverage and reach hopefully the legislative goal. And 81 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.040 let me give you something else out of history, and 82 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.639 this is almost like a parable or fable now in 83 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.079 civil rights history. You might have heard it before, but 84 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.720 from what I'm seeing out on the streets today, people 85 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:34.480 don't know this. 86 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:35.319 So I'm going to share it. 87 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.800 With you back in about I want to say about 88 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.720 nineteen forty one, President FDR sat down with a Philip 89 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.279 Randolph and he was the head of the brotherhood of 90 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.399 Sleeping car porters, the Pullman Porters Association. There's one of 91 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.439 the few jobs in which African Americans could actually unionize. 92 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.800 A Philip Randolph got a meeting, and I'm really condensing 93 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.480 the story, got a meeting with FDR and explain how 94 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.560 civil rights advancement was not only good for African Americans 95 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.519 but the larger country, and how FDR could and should 96 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.120 use his bully pulpit to make it happen. Because remember, 97 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.079 World War Two is going on, and you have all 98 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.680 these there were issues which were happening in the military. 99 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.720 They're going to desegregate the military and have these veterans 100 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.920 coming home to an America in which they did not 101 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.959 have full rights as citizens. So they're trying to preempt 102 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.600 other problems which were going to happen in America. In 103 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.879 the event, eventually, world War two it end and FDR, 104 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.800 as a story goes, listen to the presentation of a 105 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.759 Philip Randolph, and he was moved. He was actually moved, 106 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.759 He was convinced and as the story goes, he said 107 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.680 something to the fact of you have convinced me I 108 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.240 agree with everything you said. 109 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.519 You were right at everything you said. Now a Philip Randolph, 110 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.959 go out and make me do it. 111 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.040 Go out and make me do it. And that is, 112 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.040 then go out and create the social circumstances in which I, 113 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:11.079 as the president, am compelled compelled to make these changes, 114 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.360 and then use the bully pulput to encourage or be 115 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.519 a molder of consensus and push Congress in the direction 116 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.839 to pass the adequate legislation. Mind you, that was like 117 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.560 nineteen forty one. That legislation did can't get passed until 118 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.319 twenty four years later. But the whole point is it's 119 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.040 not a one day thing. And if you're going to 120 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.439 create the social environment in which America seems that it 121 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:46.040 has no choice but to change direction regarding immigration reform, 122 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.240 that Congress should act and pass some sort of comprehensive 123 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.360 immigration so we can stop these raids by ice. It's 124 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.279 going to take more than students walking out of class 125 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.759 on a given day. It's going to take more than 126 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.439 people amassing on the one on one freeway or various 127 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:10.399 freeways around the country and having your voice heard as 128 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:15.600 are often told or being seen on TV, or writing 129 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:21.360 cute signs and getting on social media and hashtagging. You 130 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.120 have to be able to demonstrate that there is a 131 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:29.480 specific legislative end and ask for your local congress person 132 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.679 to follow up on to put in a bill, to 133 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.919 push Republican leadership to bring to the floor to have 134 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:42.200 Congress vote on it, and then create the social circumstances 135 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.720 in which a president, any president, this president Donald Trump, 136 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.799 to say I have no choice because of my own 137 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.039 political insecurity or wanting to make sure that I can 138 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.399 maintain the status quo of this situation, that I have 139 00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:02.320 to concede to the demands because there's a specific legislative 140 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.159 ask if you're out marching today or tomorrow, next week, 141 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.080 and you do not have a clearly defined goal, and 142 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.320 a clearly defined goal is more than stop. 143 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:17.480 The raids, then you're wasting your time. You're out there 144 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.279 getting steps on your fitbit. 145 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.440 If you have not determined a course of action in 146 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.960 which you have leverage which forces America to listen to 147 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.799 you and take your concerns about immigration reform seriously, you're 148 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:38.799 out there exercising. If you're not committed to this fight 149 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.840 assuming that you care about Abuela or Abuela you know, Madre, 150 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.039 and I'm not trying to be funny anyone in your 151 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.480 family who is impacted by these raids. If you're not 152 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.200 committed to at least sees this through the midterms, where 153 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:59.679 you could swing the balance in Congress if you're strategic, 154 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:06.159 and then create an environment where Congress can then put 155 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.679 pressure on the president. If you're not willing to work 156 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.200 all the way through the midterms, then you're just wasting 157 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.519 your time because people in power know that you're going 158 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:14.120 to get tired. 159 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:16.440 They're betting on you getting bored. 160 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.000 They are sure as hell as I'm sitting here that 161 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.240 in two weeks you'll have moved on to something else. 162 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.240 You haven't heard a peep out of Donald Trump because 163 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.039 there's no need for him to address it, because there's 164 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.799 social circumstances as such, there is no reason for him 165 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:36.879 to change course. If you want to imitate what happened 166 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.080 in the nineteen fifties and sixties with these protests, because 167 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.879 that's the model you're using. If you want to imitate 168 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.320 that model and also imitate the results it yielded, then 169 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.879 you have to take all the lessons of the civil 170 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.480 rights movement. You're going to have to find to find 171 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.279 that goal in a clear sense. You're going to have 172 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.240 to have a clear method to gain leverage, which makes 173 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.080 the world. The country, then the state take notice of 174 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.320 what you do over a long period of time, not 175 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.679 just marching. You have to be committed to it in 176 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.120 the way that the modern Civil rights movement people were 177 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.960 committed for years. If you don't do all three, you 178 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.279 will get nothing.

I think of a 191 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.840 good neighbor as someone who I don't need to worry about. 192 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.039 They're not going to break into my house, and they 193 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.679 will look out for my house, especially if if I'm 194 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.960 not home, if my pets get out, they'll give me 195 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.399 a call or do something, make sure my pets get 196 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.960 put back in the backyard. That to me is what 197 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:36.679 a good neighbor does. That is how State Farm bills itself, 198 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:42.559 no pun intended. State Farm General is California's largest insurance provider, 199 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.399 and did you know State Farm has requested an emergency 200 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:53.799 interim rate rate hike averaging twenty two percent for each 201 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.759 and every homeowner twenty two percent averaging in other words, 202 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.720 it could be twenty one twenty percent for some and 203 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.759 twenty three, twenty four, twenty five percent for others. We're 204 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:09.200 talking about, in average, twenty two cents more on every 205 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:14.399 dollar of your premium. In a letter to California's Commissioner 206 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.840 of Insurance, Ricardo Lara, State Farm said it has already 207 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.240 received more than eighty seven hundred claims and paid over 208 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.399 a billion dollars to customers in the wake of the wildfires. 209 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.360 First, I don't believe that. I don't believe that's truthful. 210 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:38.879 Why because they have been accused of not paying off claims, 211 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:44.759 They've been accused of dropping people and their policies. So 212 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.679 if they say, excuse me, Mark Ronner, this might be 213 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:48.879 a little cumbersome phrase. 214 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.000 It strange credulity. 215 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.120 You know, there might be some minor flaw inherent in 216 00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.399 a business model that requires not paying people out for success, 217 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.720 and something about it that just doesn't sit right with me. 218 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.559 And I think it's a reasonable assumption. Since wildfires don't 219 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.120 happen every day. 220 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.399 For the I would say most of the. 221 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:19.519 Time they are receiving premium payments, not paying out for 222 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:24.639 the most part. And also, if you listen to this 223 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.320 show yesterday, I was speaking to Jackie Ray and I 224 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.080 highlighted them how State Farm's advertising budget. That's why I 225 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.159 keep saying, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there, 226 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.879 like a good neighbor, we want more cash. And they 227 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:44.279 spent a billion dollars fiscal year twenty twenty four on 228 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:49.360 just those commercials and ads that we've all seen and know. 229 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.559 The ad budget. 230 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:59.080 Alone, from what we know publicly, can make Southern Californians whole. 231 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.720 Well, next thing, you're gonna have the nerve to suggest 232 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.279 that our healthcare system is whack too. 233 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.879 There is a connection when you talk about insurance premiums 234 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:11.200 it's the same. 235 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.639 Dare I say, should they call it the scam racket? 236 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:23.639 Perhaps scam racket scheme synonyms tomato tomato, potato fall, the same. 237 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:29.000 California homeowners, we know this. We already faced some of 238 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:33.159 the highest insurance premiums in the country, and insurers have 239 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:38.840 deemed California a risk because of wildfires. 240 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.840 According to the company State Farms. 241 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.519 Generals, surplus available to pay out claims has been depleted, 242 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.480 in part due to claims paid out as a result 243 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:56.919 of natural disasters. Wait a minute, wait, wait, Assuming State 244 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.559 Farm Generals telling the truth, and I don't believe them, 245 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.759 but for the sake of argument and radio commentary, let's 246 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.919 say they're telling the truth. They're saying that they had 247 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:13.000 been depleted prior to these fires. 248 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.679 It wasn't depleted enough to stop them from paying their 249 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.840 CEO twenty four and a half million a year. 250 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.240 It wasn't depleted enough for them to spend again one 251 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:28.559 billion dollars in the past year on commercials. Don't get 252 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:30.840 me wrong, I really did like the commercial let's have 253 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.480 billion dollars get you there. I mean that that would 254 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.840 be involving tattooing the insides of your eyelids A billion dollars. 255 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:43.600 A billion dollars just on advertisements alone. 256 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:44.720 Commercials. 257 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.679 Are they carving something into the moon's surface? 258 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.960 I don't know. They are funny. 259 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.519 Whoever, the ad agency is getting paid out the ass 260 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.399 okay a billion dollars because they only probably have one 261 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.360 ad agency. They probably have different market campaigns, but it's 262 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.839 a billion dollars. If for example, and just for argument's sake, 263 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.759 State Farm said, you know what, we are so committed 264 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.720 and such a good neighbor to use their phraseology that 265 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.880 we're going to not advertise for the next year to 266 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:24.599 make sure that all Southern Californians are made whole. We're 267 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.759 going to use that billion dollars that we would have 268 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.680 spent on advertising because they spend it every year. 269 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:30.759 It's not like that broke. 270 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.400 They have that money to spend every year, which means 271 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.160 they have it for twenty twenty five. Maybe they have 272 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.359 to do some funny accounting and move some of the 273 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:43.119 advertising budget over to the people budget, to the insurance side, 274 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.880 and say we're going to spend this billion dollars in 275 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:51.519 twenty twenty five on the people of Southern California because 276 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.960 they are more important than commercials, and if anything we 277 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:01.319 think as a business model that we're to mouth advertising 278 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:06.440 would mean more than any commercial with Oh my gosh, 279 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.279 Pat Mahomes or Andy Reid or the actor Kevin Miles 280 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:17.440 who plays Jake. I think people would appreciate that and 281 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.640 would speak of the goodwill and the good neighbor policy 282 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:25.519 behavior of State Farm in a way that no commercial could. 283 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.359 And so that's why we're going to move a billion 284 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:31.759 dollars of our ad budget to the people of southern California. 285 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.440 It's almost as if you're suggesting that an actual good 286 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:41.000 neighbor wouldn't clean you out when the chips are down. 287 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:40.759 And also leave. 288 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.079 Oh yes, you know, an actual good neighbor would say, hey, 289 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.440 you know there's a there's a disaster coming, but I 290 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.759 got you Okay, I'm going to hose down your house. 291 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.359 I want to make sure that your house is as 292 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.279 safe as possible. 293 00:18:54.119 --> 00:19:00.880 You're getting hosed, alrighty, oh yes, you're getting thoroughly hosed, and. 294 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.759 They're going to charge you twenty two percent more for 295 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.880 that same hose.

They're 327 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.359 going to consider adding such stations to bathrooms located at 328 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.799 recreation centers, parks, libraries, and transit hubs. Also examine whether 329 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.279 they can update building codes for restaurants, shopping centers, and 330 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.440 entertainment venues. 331 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.319 Yeada yah, yahah blah blah blah. 332 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:52.160 Yes. 333 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.039 Yes. The amount of times that I have seen fathers 334 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.519 with infants yep. 335 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.680 And they go into the men's bathroom as they should 336 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.559 in this twenty first century where men shouldn't be going 337 00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.319 to nah, And I know that there's no baby changing 338 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.839 station in that men's bathroom more times than not. 339 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.440 That has to be a burden on that father. It 340 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.559 is a humongous burden. You know what else is a 341 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:24.440 burden the fact that rules be damned because all these venues, 342 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.079 movie theaters and all the like are supposed to keep 343 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.519 their bathrooms up to snuff. But you know what, I 344 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.160 walk into it. I walk into our AMC. I walk 345 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.480 into a bathroom that has urine near the floor where 346 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.519 the baby changing station is to begin with. Businesses and 347 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.200 parks do not keep their bathrooms clean enough for you 348 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.519 to be installing more tables for infants. You're supposed to 349 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.039 keep infants clean and wholesome and away from. 350 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.480 Pissing all that all over. 351 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:50.759 No, that's a no. 352 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.599 That's a no. 353 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:57.920 Okay, okay, So you're more against the idea of a 354 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.559 bathroom which is just unclear if they clean excuse me, 355 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.039 if they clean the bathrooms as they should. 356 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.799 You walk you mentioned AMC. I'll just say a movie theater. 357 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.000 I'm not trying to bust them out. 358 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:09.920 You walk into a movie theater and you see on 359 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.240 the backside of the door that's usually that list of 360 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:14.359 the times that the bathroom was supposedly clean. 361 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.200 You know, Arthur came in at four point. 362 00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.559 Thirty and John came in at five thirty, and you 363 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.880 can see this toilet paper and feces everywhere. It's like, 364 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.960 no one's cleaning this bathroom. I think that is a 365 00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:29.039 related but separate issue. If that movie theater is not 366 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:32.200 cleaning its bathroom, I don't know if that's an argument 367 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.359 against having the basic facilities available. It's almost like that 368 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.200 we're not going to have urinals in there because people 369 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:41.400 will get urine everywhere. 370 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.599 It's a bathroom you provide the facility. But you know 371 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:46.240 what they started doing. They said, let's just have a 372 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.160 trough so that we can avoid it. 373 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.039 Oh, they don't do that anymore. They've gone the other direction. 374 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:55.200 They have they have flushless ur urinals where they doesn't 375 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.319 have water. 376 00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.599 It just hits the hits the ground. Yeah, yes, I 377 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.279 got you. What I'm saying is when my children were young, 378 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.880 I would not let them go into a park, much 379 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.319 less me go in there. And I don't care if 380 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.640 I see the sanitation crew coming out and cleaning it 381 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:17.799 right then and there. This is a waste of taxpayer money. 382 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:20.720 How do I know? Because no one is going to 383 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.279 use this. If you're trying to do something, then maybe 384 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:30.559 make or increase the number of family only restrooms. You 385 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.680 can do that, But you cannot put baby changing stations 386 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.079 in bathrooms that are used by everybody. You just can't. 387 00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.839 You just can't. That is a waste of our taxpayer dollars. 388 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:46.279 If they do that, just make some more family only restrooms. 389 00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.400 Do that, and then maybe. 390 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:49.839 Well that's Steeve's like an added expense. 391 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.400 Regardless you're saying, not only are we not going to 392 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:56.400 put this in the restrooms, exist we have to then 393 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.279 create a family only restroom in a Starbucks, in a grocery. 394 00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.240 Store, or what have you. 395 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:08.079 Please show me a park, a business, Show me one, 396 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.839 Show me one where the baby changing station is adequately 397 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.880 up to part because there are plenty, plenty of businesses, 398 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.039 plenty of supermarkets, plenty of every place that has them. 399 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:21.519 They're all over the place now and none of them 400 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.160 are kept up.
