A lot of really cool things 17 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.520 going out there, all right. Floridians are, of course picking 18 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.959 up the pieces after Milton made landfall. Dangerous category three 19 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.239 hurricane cut through the state as a Category one storm 20 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:16.000 before moving offshore. Keep in mind, we still have folks 21 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.840 in Georgia in parts of Georgia with power outages. Was 22 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.560 hearing from some of them. Yesterday on our talkback features, 23 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.079 saying that they are still battling with power outages. Nothing 24 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.560 is being done in their eyes at some points there. 25 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.760 Why is this important? Well, a couple things. They're fellow 26 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.280 Americans that are sitting there dealing with all of this 27 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.480 crazy weather. But also if people are looking to move 28 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.079 out of Florida or get away, they're most likely going 29 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.359 to be hitting into Georgia. 30 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.879 And you know, Georgia is still. 31 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.239 Having its own issues as well dealing with all that. So, 32 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:59.079 deaths from Helene nationwide have reached at least two hundred 33 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.200 and twenty seven people, according to reports from CNN and 34 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.719 the Associated Press. That makes Helene the second deadliest hurricane 35 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.800 in the US this century. In North Carolina, officials say 36 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.439 one hundred and twenty people are confirmed dead. 37 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.280 Thus far. 38 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.879 Sad thing about these numbers are always expected to rise 39 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.439 as we get more information. All right, As you remember, 40 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.039 COVID nineteen wreaked havoc, but not as much havoc as 41 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.599 horrible it was that people died, not as much havoc 42 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.360 as the decisions that are made. You know, I was 43 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:41.280 once told that life is ten percent what happens to 44 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.639 you in ninety percent how much you react to it 45 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.919 or how you react to it, and so we get 46 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.759 this pandemic, horrible thing with COVID nineteen. Our reactions are 47 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:57.400 to it government wide, individually, getting the vaccine, not getting 48 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.599 the vaccine, whatever it may be. Those are the things 49 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.840 that we're going to be dealing with after when this 50 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:10.199 becomes a yearly endemic type situation. So one of those 51 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.199 things was California students. I was lucky. On a personal note, 52 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.159 I was lucky. My boy is seven going on eight, 53 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.159 and so it didn't affect him in the same way. 54 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.759 He was still young and out of school, and when 55 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:27.000 he did go into preschool, it was an outdoor school, 56 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.360 so it didn't affect him same way, although he did 57 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.000 have to wear masks and things like that. But if 58 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.319 you had a kid that was in school and had 59 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.560 to do with the garbage learning that goes with trying 60 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.439 to learn out of school by way of video and 61 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.759 the like, there was lots of problems. So the good 62 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.680 news at this point is this scores are up. They're 63 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.479 going up, especially with the Latinos Blacks, low income kids. 64 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.080 That's great. 65 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.520 Los Angeles schools did better than the state average. 66 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:56.280 Great. 67 00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.840 We need more and more of this news. Some school 68 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.319 districts like Compton saw big improvements. Wonderful, but with good 69 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.319 news comes from not so good news. Most students still 70 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.479 aren't meeting the state's expectation in math, English, and science 71 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.560 the big three there to be able to have those 72 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.439 numbers continue or to continue to have them wobble is 73 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.480 not good. Still not back to where we were before 74 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:28.560 the pandemic. That's crazy making. I had said on the 75 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:33.480 air when this stuff was first going down that we 76 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:38.639 will deal with the pain of the decisions made here 77 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.360 in California and beyond for a decade or more at least, 78 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.920 and we do not have footing. I was at the 79 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.759 doctors the other day and I said, you know, I 80 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.720 remember before the pandemic, you could get an appointment in 81 00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:01.480 a couple of weeks for anything, dermatal, you're going whatever, 82 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.319 You're going to go see a doctor for about two weeks. 83 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:09.839 Now it's two to three months. And I go, what's 84 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.879 going on? He goes, I don't know, but I don't 85 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.120 think we've still made up for the pandemic. We're still 86 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.160 seeing patients, still trying to catch up. So we're still 87 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.279 not back to where we are before. The pandemic. When 88 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.959 it comes to testing school testing. Some interesting things coming 89 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.040 out of these studies are more California students are considered 90 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.879 economically disadvantaged now, so obviously there's more people in that 91 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:48.480 category due to not. 92 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.600 Not coming out of the situation of the pandemic. 93 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.439 So not only are we still seeing the kids, they're 94 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.199 catching up in some ways getting better but not completely 95 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.040 when the test course, but also you've got kids that 96 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.639 are now set back because of home situation mom and 97 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.720 dad maybe not working, or work has been cut or 98 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.360 things have changed. Science scores are the lowest of the 99 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.480 three subjects. Math and English alongside six and eighth graders 100 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.079 showed some of their biggest improvements, which is a good 101 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.920 thing because those are eighth graders. Obviously you're knocking on 102 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.040 the door of high school. Sixth graders, you're knocking on 103 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.759 the door of middle school or junior high as we 104 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.759 say sometimes out here. So education leaders happy about the progress, 105 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.680 but still trying to catch up. The main takeaway here is, yes, 106 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.839 things are getting a better a little bit. It's taking 107 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.560 a long time. It's very slow. Skills schools are still 108 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.319 working hard to help the students recover from the pandemic 109 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.720 and the impact on learning, but they still are at 110 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:57.040 a deficit. Keep in mind they often lost money, they 111 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.839 had issues. The amount of fundraising. If you're a p 112 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.439 and you know about the amount of fundraising going on 113 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.720 to a place that is supposed to be covered by 114 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.079 tax dollars is insane. These poor teachers that are putting 115 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.279 their own money into being able to get the most 116 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.839 basic of supplies. So what was already a mess is 117 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.680 it became a larger problem during the pandemic, and now 118 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.120 after the pandemic is barely scratching its way back to 119 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.120 the top. Something we're going to be dealing with, maybe 120 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.759 not on the school level, but with local economies and 121 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:32.519 everything like that. 122 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.240 I say, for a decade or more. 123 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.279 Somebody pirate porch pirating at my house.

I will find you and I 163 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:36.080 will kill you, all right, Ay, breast milk silly host 164 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:43.840 transitions are for kids. Breast milk for grown ups. Why, okay, 165 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.960 let's talk about something you might not expect. A little 166 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.960 weird adults drinking breast milk. 167 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.679 I said, for good I will find you. 168 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.759 You heard right. So here's the basics about this. People 169 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.440 have been using breast milk for a long time. 170 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.080 Did you know that. I mean not just feeding the babies. 171 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.399 I will trik you down, but for all kinds of things. 172 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.519 This is throughout the ages, not just baby food, but 173 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.399 the first century. Pliny the Elder, and with a name 174 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.440 like that, people were going to them all the time 175 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.039 looking for information. He recommended it for fever, for gout, 176 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:27.240 healing from poisonous beetles, because that's a problem, especially ringo. 177 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.399 In the seventeenth and eighteenth century England and even in America, 178 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:37.320 breast milk was prescribed for ailments ranging from consumption, which 179 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:42.279 is what is that? Is that tuberculosis consumption? I think 180 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:47.600 it's tuberculosis to blindness. Oh you're going blind, have some 181 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:53.559 bow milk, that'll you'll be good to go back here. Now, 182 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.960 in modern day, some grown ups are starting to drink 183 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.440 it thinking it might be good for them. So here's 184 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.000 the breakdown here. Breast milk is awesome for babies, right 185 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:06.600 It's got fats, it's got proteins, vitamins, special sugars that 186 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.279 helps babies grow and stay healthy. But for adults, we 187 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.159 don't really know. It's a bit tricky. The good and 188 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.279 the bad of this is. The good news is scientists 189 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.080 are finding some cool stuff, some things that are in 190 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.799 breast milk that might help with medical treatments. 191 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.840 That's wonderful. 192 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.519 The bad news is that drinking breast milk probably won't 193 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:30.960 do much for healthy adults. 194 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.320 So it's not like, you know, we went through the 195 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:36.080 bone broth thing. 196 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.919 I don't know if that's still a big thing right now, 197 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.799 But like, oh, bone broth is the most magical thing 198 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.279 in the whole eyed world, and everybody's looking for that elixir, right, 199 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.759 So it doesn't look like milk is that unless there's 200 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.480 an issue that the things like these fats, these proteins, 201 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.960 vitamins and sugars that they're going to help with you 202 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.559 if you are not healthy, there's something if your body 203 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.120 doesn't need these things the way a baby does, and 204 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.440 it's not gonna do crap for you. So the weird 205 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.480 weird stuff on all this is that some people are 206 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:10.399 buying breast milk online. Now, I hope you would know this, 207 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.039 but your old powd Neil is going to reinforce this 208 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:13.360 for you. 209 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.080 I believe what I'm saying it. 210 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:22.519 Don't buy breast milk online. Okay, but why Neil? Well, 211 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.559 I'm no Pliny the Elder, but I will tell you this. 212 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:28.759 You don't know where it came from. You don't know 213 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:36.399 it is, and it's it could be biologically hazardous because 214 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.840 someone It's not so much that you want to buy it. 215 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:40.519 I get it, you think that maybe's can be good 216 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.840 for you. It's that somebody felt the need to sell it. 217 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.440 We don't know them. 218 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.039 That's the X factor there, so don't do that. People 219 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.600 trying it for things like building muscle or curing hangovers, 220 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.399 and for the science on that says that doesn't work. 221 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.039 But researchers are seriously looking at milk new ways. They're 222 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:06.200 making fake versions of bread breast milk sugars. Well, this 223 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.279 is what formula is people that might help with things 224 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.600 like heart disease or arthritis. They're using breast milk to 225 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.720 check moms for early signs of breast cancer. 226 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.519 Well that's but how does that help me? 227 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.639 Yes, you want to chest the test the breast milk 228 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.600 for the woman to see if her breasts are bad. 229 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.000 But it's not like I'm buying it online swigging it 230 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.440 and going uh oh, I taste breast cancer. Yeah, so 231 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.559 there's nothing, there's nothing for me. So the bottom line here, 232 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.360 it's amazing for babies, not necessarily a magic drink for us. 233 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.840 And if you're a healthy adultult it's not going to 234 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.080 do anything. And having said that, I will tell you 235 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.759 that one host and I'll tell you who it was 236 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:55.000 when we come back. One host here at KFI served 237 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.879 her breast milk to dinner guests. 238 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:07.200 Dud Dud, dud dud dun, dun, dun, dun, duh, it's 239 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:12.840 not you and dun no no, no, no, no, no no, 240 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:15.039 it's another female host. 241 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:16.320 I'll tell you when I get back. 242 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.440 Let's get the news now with Amy King. I swear 243 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.519 to God, I will find that guy. 244 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.639 I will. 245 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.399 I will find him, and I will take that stupid 246 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.320 jacket off that he was wearing, and I will punch 247 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.120 him in the eye because porch pirating is one of 248 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.200 the worst things in the whole wide world. Hey, everybody, 249 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.360 Neil Savadra in for Bill Handle this morning. Wayne will 250 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.799 be filling in starting again on Monday, so don't fret, 251 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:40.320 my pet. 252 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:44.919 You'll have him back on Monday, Big news Day. 253 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:52.639 Obviously, things is still the repercussions of such a horrendous weather. 254 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.080 Situation. 255 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.080 I'm sorry a little preoccupied if you did in here. 256 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.159 My house was porch pirate, and while I was on 257 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.840 the air doing my duty to inform you, dirt bag, 258 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.960 I saw it. My wife thought he was delivering something. 259 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.559 He stole something. So it's preoccupying me because people are trash. 260 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.519 All you got was prop candles for by kids schools 261 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.240 Halloween haunt. So good on you, buddy. You stole from 262 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:32.720 children any who, people with much worse situations going on. 263 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.159 You've got Floridians picking up all the pieces after Milton 264 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.200 made landfall dangerous category three hurricane. Of course we're still 265 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.480 looking at the aftermath of that for those that were 266 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.440 thinking of leaving and going to Georgia. Georgia still dealing 267 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.080 with Helene and the aftermath, many of them still without power. 268 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.159 Just insane, a situation we talked about earlier with Amy King. 269 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.960 One person has died, twenty three people have been rested 270 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.799 after an elevator had an issue, some technical issue at 271 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.680 a Colorado tourist mine. So there's an old gold mine 272 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.160 where people were, you know, they go and they check 273 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:16.079 it out, and people were trapped a thousand feet underground 274 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.640 for six hours. Can you imagine what your head starts 275 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:25.160 to do after that. California officials have sees nearly one 276 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.799 point seven million dollars worth of fentanyl this month in 277 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.359 two traffic stops. So I get it when people complain 278 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.519 about traffic stops, whether it's minorities or what, or whether 279 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.359 they're a hass or whatever it is. But you know 280 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:45.200 what I will tell you, it seems like traffic stops 281 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.720 are the key to nailing people for the most part. 282 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.039 It just they seem to produce so much anyway. So 283 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.680 that was some of the headlines going on in some 284 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.960 of the news bits you need to know right now. 285 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.240 As far as the question I left you with, what 286 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:07.079 female talk show host here at KFI actually gave breast milk? 287 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:08.920 You'll have to listen to the podcast if you don't 288 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.119 know what I'm talking about, because I'm not going to 289 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.799 go over the whole breast milk thing. Again, that's too indulgent. 290 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.880 A little sure Kono would love it, but the regular listener, 291 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.200 they're not going to dig that. So we were talking 292 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.000 about breast milk. Adults are drinking breast milk. Now, it's 293 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.319 a whole thing. Go back and listen to it on 294 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:32.880 the podcast, Doctor Wendy Walsh gave breast milk in food 295 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.680 to dinner guests. Now, if I remember the story right, 296 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.559 she told it on the air. 297 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:39.799 If I remember the. 298 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:45.079 Story correctly, she basically was out of milk and a 299 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.200 dinner party that she was throwing and just put her 300 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.799 breast milk in there because she was breastfeeding at the time. 301 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.279 So if you had that on your being go card, 302 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:01.200 God bless you. You know what what is I because 303 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:06.759 I'm talking about milk, and then I feel like if 304 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.559 I do this story, I kind of want some time 305 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:13.559 to do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna move some things 306 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.160 around here, Amy King, you ready for news? Because I 307 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.720 want to get into this but I don't want to. 308 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:21.799 I don't want to try, and I don't want to 309 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.480 cut it short. You got it, I'm ready. 310 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.920 You got some news? All right? Well, we'll be back. 311 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.960 I just want to be ready for you, that's all. 312 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:31.000 I don't know if Will's ready, but I'm ready. Well, 313 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:36.359 Will's always ready. He's ready to sing, he's ready to dance. 314 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.039 He is singing and dancing, you guys and dolls. 315 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.440 I was looking for a reason to plug it, and 316 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:42.079 where's it at. 317 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:50.880 It is in Alta Dina at the historic Barnesworth Amphitheater. 318 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.200 Thank you, Amy King? 319 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:53.000 Is that right? 320 00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.279 I don't know. It sounded right to me. 321 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:58.119 I think I think that's it, but I'll ask Will 322 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.839 just to I'm trying to remember if that's the name 323 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.400 of the theater. 324 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.480 But it's going on. 325 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.119 His opening night was last Sunday. Said it was really fun. 326 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.359 Oh that's cool, and tickets are available. 327 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.240 That's awesome. 328 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.839 Yeah, everybody, Neil savedra in for Bill handle Wayne Resnik 329 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.079 will be filling in for Bill starting on Monday again. 330 00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:21.720 Thanks for hanging out on this Friday morning. I watched 331 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.880 someone parch pirate live while I was here working today. 332 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.599 Oh it's infuriating. I tell the story. You can go 333 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.359 listen to it, but man, oh really grinds my gears. 334 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.240 All right, California pledge five hundred million, half a billion 335 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:46.319 dollars to help tenants preserve affordable housing. Guess how much 336 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:53.160 they got. The people in need got zero, not a nothing. 337 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.039 So in twenty twenty one, California promised this half a 338 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:02.000 million to help keep housing affordable. So how this works 339 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.720 is the money was meant for Community Land Trust. These 340 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:09.000 are groups that buy buildings and then they keep the 341 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:12.279 rents low, right, so they figure this out. Big news. 342 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.839 Think about that twenty twenty one pandemic. All that stuff 343 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.240 is hitting people are in need of help. They were 344 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.039 worried about the raising rents. And I'll tell you. I'll 345 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.039 give you an example. Luke Johnson, eighty five years old 346 00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.559 out in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles, that's 347 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.920 the east central part of Los Angeles. He and his 348 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.559 neighbors were excited about the program. Their landlord wanted to 349 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.359 sell their building. This was a perfect opportunity. They hoped 350 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.480 that a community land trust could buy it using the 351 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.400 state money. Of course, the states saying, hey, we promised this, 352 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.359 but three years went by the state didn't give out 353 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:55.640 any money. Nothing. Why well, the program got stuck in bureaucracy. 354 00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.079 What are the chances The state agency in charge took 355 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.440 way too long setting it up, so the money is 356 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:09.599 basically consumed and they get nothing. So during this time, 357 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:14.720 California's budget gets super tight. Lawmakers get frustrated that no 358 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.559 money was spent for this program, so back in June 359 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.039 of this year, they decided to cancel the entire program. 360 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:25.359 Three years. 361 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.839 Nothing, not a penny, they canceled the program. This leaves 362 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:36.400 people like Johnson Luke Johnson in a tough spot. The 363 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.480 community land trust can't buy their building because it doesn't 364 00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:42.759 have state money. Now Johnson and his husband might have 365 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.880 to leave the apartment that they've called home for decades. 366 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.279 I think, if I remember correctly on a couple other 367 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.599 stories I was reading, is maybe even forty years or something. 368 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.960 Housing advocates are disappointed, rightly so as those that are 369 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.720 sitting in those plays is hoping for a little relief. 370 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:06.960 They say, preserving existing affordable housing is important. Now, why 371 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.240 think about it. How much do we hear of complaints 372 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.720 that we need more housing, we need more housing. Well, 373 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:23.480 preserving inexpensive housing is right up there with making more housing. 374 00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.720 Otherwise you're going to have people not being able to 375 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.400 live where they are now, and that's going to be 376 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.599 a compound the problem. It's not incredible math. So what's next. Well, 377 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.039 at this point, the community land trusts are looking around. 378 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.440 They don't have that half a billion dollar coming in 379 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.160 that was promised by the state. They're trying to raise 380 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.799 money from banks and charities. They're hoping to create a 381 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:56.519 one hundred million dollar fund, and they're going to buy 382 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:01.920 properties and keep them affordable. So what's the lesson in this? 383 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.240 I was frustrating reading this through this last night and 384 00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:12.160 going this breakdown. This story is on a loop. It's 385 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:17.640 over and over again. The big lesson. You know, even 386 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.319 if you're not someone like me, I'm a smaller government guy. 387 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.960 I like and think that governments are better when they're smaller. 388 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.880 You have to agree with this that the government, whether 389 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.359 it's federal, whether it's state or even local. The way 390 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.000 it is now, it's too big to even manage and 391 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.039 fulfill the programs they've already created, the ones that they 392 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:43.400 already believe in, the ones that they've already promised, like 393 00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:48.960 this one. Even when the state wants to help White 394 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.200 Wick do with housing, we hear about a day in 395 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:54.079 and day out, we need more housing, more affordable housing. 396 00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:58.559 They're allowing ADUs, these additional dwelling units to go up 397 00:24:58.599 --> 00:24:59.319 on properties. 398 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.559 Matter of fact, that's what blew up in Long Beach 399 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.039 the other day. You remember that that was an ADU. 400 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:12.400 The money is continually mismanaged, The programs fail time and 401 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:18.119
