<v Speaker 2>sporting of Ronner is going to stay because if you'

00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>term of affection. It is a term of endearment. Yes,

13
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.399
<v Speaker 2>that uh. Super producer Kayla, who is producing for me tonight,

14
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>introduced to the building and Ronner just wants to make

15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>sure that you all know well. I maybe we're unaware

16
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>of the influence she has over me. She's here today.

17
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>She isn't often when we do our show, and I

18
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>think it's because of her, her powerful presence that I

19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>had to say, Touala Bear.

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate that, Ronor.

21
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>It's very true.

22
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I am pretty powerful and Twala is the best mayor

23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 3>in the world.

24
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>I understand, best bear in the world. I love it.

25
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 2>We are off to a fun start. And interestingly enough, Ronner,

26
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>you came in and you were in very good spirits.

27
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So I take it that your trip in was not

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>crazy or insane. No, I don't need to remind you

29
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>that we had the Batan Death Drive there two ago

30
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>and we I had to call and tell Krozer to

31
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>be ready to do seven o'clock because I didn't think

32
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna make it. But and you had something similar, No,

33
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I had the exact similar. I literally thought I was

34
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>going to have to just turn around and go home

35
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 2>because I thought that there was no way on earth

36
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I would get here. And I thought the same was

37
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen today. I was ready for because not all

38
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>schools are out on spring break yet, but at least

39
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 2>my school where I work, we are on spring break,

40
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and I thought maybe there's some more schools that are

41
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>off or not on the LAUSD calendar as well. So

42
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I was like preparing for spring break madness. But no, no,

43
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>it's just me and it's actually not really a spring break.

44
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Because when I was thinking about it this morning, because

45
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I was dropping my daughter off, I said, wait a minute,

46
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute, wait a minute. If your spring break

47
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>is not the same as mine. That means all next week,

48
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>while I'm off, I'm still gonna have to be getting

49
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>up early in the morning to drop you off. Lucky

50
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>you love that, don't man?

51
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 1>You know?

52
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Look, let me tell you you're an early morning type.

53
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Not on any planet. There isn't even a planet that

54
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>we know of in our solar system where I would

55
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 2>get up in the morning. That planet doesn't exist, and

56
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>it's sure enough doesn't exist on this year plan we're on.

57
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I am not a morning person. I ab whore getting

58
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>up in the morning. I abhor the neighbors roosters that

59
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>go off. What you have neighbors with roosters, I don't

60
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>know where it's at, but you hear it in the distance,

61
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's when it's like real, real quiet out there,

62
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>and you hear that in the distance. I feel like,

63
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>is that on purpose? I don't want to initiate anything

64
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 2>that's going to get you into trouble, but I'll just say,

65
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, those roosters are some good eating and if

66
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>they if they if they go missing rooster meat, I

67
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 2>don't know, Yeah, try it, try it with some some

68
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>breading and uh and and and deep trying a nice

69
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 2>rooster meat sounds well, the neighbors try the neighbors pets,

70
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>is what I'm suggesting. Neighbor does come up missing, we

71
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 2>all know that it was by way of the suggestion

72
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>and supreme influence of Mark Rona. My hands are clean. Okay,

73
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about the roads, I was looking at a few

74
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>stories on the way in that has to do with

75
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>our drive, our commute, and just being in veal here

76
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 2>in southern California, because this is not the East Coast

77
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>where you can hop a train and get anywhere you

78
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>want without the use of a car. No. Out here,

79
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>we rely on cars. And it's interesting because in a

80
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>state where at one point our sunsets were beautiful only

81
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>because of the small caused by cars, it seems here

82
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>in California, California's clean air vehicle detail program could soon

83
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>be coming to an end. So my question, first of all,

84
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 2>is will that mean that people are just no longer

85
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>going to care about clean air vehicles? Who knows, but

86
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the clock is running out on California's clean air vehicle

87
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 2>decal program. You may have seen these colorful stickles stickers.

88
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>They're on the back of vehicles that are riding in

89
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the HOV lanes. Well, the program allows vehicles that meet

90
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>specific emission standards to use the car pool lanes regardless

91
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 2>of occupancy if you have that sticker. Now, it seems

92
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>that with the passing of AB two sixty seven, a

93
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 2>bill authorized by someone who hates driving and hates cars,

94
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>a similar member, Greg Wallace, who must be from the

95
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>East Coast, they are going to be bringing this program

96
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>to an end. Now, look, it may not be mister

97
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Wallace's fault all together, but really and truly, this is

98
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>something I think to myself, mister Wallace, if you want

99
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>us to continue to have clean air and really abide

100
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 2>by these clean air standards that have to be maintained

101
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>by getting those stickers, then you need to keep the

102
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>program going. Good sir, You need to keep the program

103
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>going or it's going to be back to us having

104
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 2>those beautiful deep red smoggie sunsets. Now, they used to

105
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>be beautiful growing up, they really were. I did not

106
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>know that we were literally breathing in tar. I didn't know.

107
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's gotten better since we started practicing clean emissions

108
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>and all that kind of good stuff. So whatever that

109
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>may be coming to an end, but also also also

110
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 2>So California is exploring getting rid of the gas tax

111
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and replacing it with a road charge program. And I know, Mark,

112
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I saw your eyebrows furrow a little bit. Well, I

113
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 2>was thinking, have you seen these side by side photographs

114
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>of the sky in La then and now and then?

115
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 2>How insanely different it is? Yes, yes, I don't want

116
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>to go back to the Then why would anybody? Because

117
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 2>there are certain people who just they they can't see

118
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the force for the trees going to be able to

119
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 2>and you're you're not gonna be able to see the buildings,

120
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>for the cement or the bricks. Because if you get

121
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>rid of these programs and say you want to take

122
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 2>away all the incentives for car sells and all those things,

123
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>that's going to change and that's going to change the climate.

124
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 2>When we start exploring ways to get rid of the

125
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>gas tats and instead put charges on roads, making it

126
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 2>where because we are driving everywhere where. This also is

127
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 2>going to add to this thing called small and it's

128
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it really really hard to drive. But the

129
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing, the biggest story that I saw having to

130
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>do with driving, and it's actually more having to do

131
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 2>with parking. And this is a story. When I saw it,

132
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I said to myself, big whoop. You deserve it if

133
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.759
<v Speaker 2>your department goes under. And I'm sorry if you are

134
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>a meter person. But right now in Los Angeles, there

135
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>is a huge issue happening within the meter collection realm okay,

136
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>right now, meter collections are down, and it has a

137
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>lot to do with the COVID programs which said, like, look, man,

138
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>park wherever you need to, We're not going to be

139
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>sending meter people after you. Yes, and a lot of

140
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 2>money went away. But right now, right now, it seems

141
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 2>that the collection of parking fines and giving out tickets

142
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>has gone down to the point where now department, the

143
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 2>department is in danger. There's a lot of meter people

144
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>who are retired, rightfully, so get out of here. Meter people.

145
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>You can't call you meter maids anymore. No, they're meter people,

146
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>meter humans. They're meter humans. They are no longer maids

147
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 2>because they are not serving us unless they are serving

148
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 2>us a healthy dose of blank. You you blank, and

149
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>meter person, let me tell you not stand Look. I'm sorry,

150
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 2>look meater people, I'm just telling you that you have

151
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 2>quite possibly the most hated position on planet Earth. You

152
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>are exactly right You've got to have some healthy self

153
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>esteem to go into the meter human profession, because is

154
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 2>there anybody on earth that people are less happy to

155
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>see when you show up. Apart from like a dentist

156
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 2>or a process server, nobody's happy to see you. They

157
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.279
<v Speaker 2>are awful people.

158
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I was leaving Target actually yesterday, and a guy was

159
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 3>scanning my license plate and I said, I'm leaving.

160
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving. He's like, I'm not stop you. You're going

161
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to get a.

162
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 3>Ticket in the mail.

163
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>You. This is why when I read that they are

164
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>are are suffering financially and that you know the meter

165
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 2>department is under danger. Look you know what, Take the

166
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>whole building and demolish it. Okay, take all those little

167
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 2>white cars and put self driving taxi signs on the

168
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 2>top of them, and let's get more cars on the

169
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>road taking us to and fro and maybe won't have

170
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>to park. Because I promise you this. The very next

171
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 2>time I hear someone tell me I'm sorry, I'm already

172
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 2>in the process of writing it. The tickets got to go.

173
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>I won't lose my mind. I do. I cannot stand

174
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>the meter profession. I don't even know why they created

175
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>other than to piss us off here in southern California,

176
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 2>because I don't know anywhere else in the country where

177
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>anyone faces this level of meter harassment. You have to

178
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>wonder about the psychological profile that they look for in

179
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>meter patrol people, because you know, with like Delta Force

180
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 2>or CIA or something. They you know, they look for

181
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>orphans that kind of thing. What kind of person becomes

182
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 2>a meter human. They probably look for people who have

183
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 2>on their resume. I'm okay with kicking puppies. You're so,

184
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Lord Mercy. It's KFI AM six forty Live everywhere all

185
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.679
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app.

<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

187
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

188

189
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>This is Later with Moe Kelly. I'm twilet sharp in

190
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 2>for bo Kelly. And if you think Mo has an

191
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.600
<v Speaker 2>issue with beaches and the water and whatnot, hold my

192
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 2>beer because Mo is someone who would get out on

193
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 2>a cruise over the open water. Me, up until going

194
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 2>on my first cruise with Moe and his family, I

195
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>would not get out over dark water for anything. I

196
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 2>don't even like getting into a swimming pool and looking

197
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>down at the deep end. I don't know if it

198
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>was a traumatic Jaws watching when I was a kid.

199
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.639
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea where it came from. But I

200
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 2>don't like deep dark water. I don't like deep water period. Okay,

201
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.919
<v Speaker 2>And no, I can't swim, so that could have like

202
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 2>some sway in my feelings. But even still here in

203
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 2>southern California, the notion of getting in this poop filled

204
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:48.799
<v Speaker 2>water is next to insanity. Okay, next to insanity when

205
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you are dealing with poop tides and all the filth

206
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 2>that is in our water here. The water here in

207
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>southern California is not brown because it's dirty. It's brown

208
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 2>because of what's going down, all the wasted bacteria that

209
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 2>just flows into our ocean. How do we know, because

210
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>once again, this is almost every weekend where health officials

211
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 2>are warning us against ocean water at several beaches across

212
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>southern California, Los Angeles, Orange County. All that you might

213
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>as well just say stay out of the water. Don't

214
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>say this beach and that beach, but this beach over

215
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>here is okay, No, just stay out of the water, okay,

216
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Believe it or not, The ocean water isn't supposed to

217
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 2>be a dark, opaque, filthy color. Okay. I've been to

218
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Miami and I've seen the blue green beaches. I've been

219
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to islands in Puerto Rico and Jamaica where the water

220
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>is clear you can see down to the sand all

221
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the way through, and it's like, that's what ocean water's

222
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>supposed to look like, nothing floating in it? Is that

223
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the official Noah term for it. National Oceanic and Atmospheric

224
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Administration poop tides, poop tides. Yeah, poop tides. Okay, they

225
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>have adopted poop tides. And it's not seaweed that's catching

226
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 2>your leg concern. It's the filthy poop beach. Okay. The

227
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>La County Department of Health has issued warnings for beaches

228
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 2>from Mother's Beach of Marina del Rey all the way

229
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.159
<v Speaker 2>over to Los Floria State Beach is Santa Monica. Look,

230
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>just all of the beaches. Stay out of the water.

231
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Now for me and my beach water conspiratorial mind, that

232
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>there may be something else going on in the water

233
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.559
<v Speaker 2>because these blue green waters that people are like, oh

234
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 2>my god, the water is blue and it's green and

235
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 2>it's glowing, glowing, beach water is not a good thing.

236
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I know. People say, no, it's it's the it's when

237
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>the algae and the after effect of the water. No, no, no, no,

238
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>keep your scientific reasoning out of here. I don't want

239
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 2>to hear it. If you want to go out and

240
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 2>get in that blue green algae water that's obviously obviously

241
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.279
<v Speaker 2>having a connection with all these seals and sea lions

242
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 2>that are coming up on the shores and just see

243
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>and literally they're staring at the water. Okay, when you

244
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 2>have sea creatures on a beach and they would rather

245
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 2>sit on the beach rather than go back in the water,

246
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to hear your rational because you know what,

247
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 2>if you don't speak actual seal, all you're doing is guessing. Okay,

248
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>these are guesses and a hypothesis of why the seals

249
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 2>and all these creatures along the beaches right now are

250
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.240
<v Speaker 2>staying out of the water and we're having all these

251
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>deep fish, deep water fish floating up and all this

252
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff. Welles getting beach because they're choking on

253
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the filth in the water out here, and they don't

254
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>like it. It is grotesque. Okay, they still don't even

255
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>know what to do with all these beech seal lions

256
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and mountains or sea lions and seals that are Huntington

257
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Beach and Manhattan Be's. They're all over in the beaches

258
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.559
<v Speaker 2>over in Orange County. It's where they're all hanging out,

259
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and they're looking at the water and they're barking saying

260
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.799
<v Speaker 2>hell no, you hear they're saying, hell no, that's what

261
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.279
<v Speaker 2>they're saying about the water. Okay, but imagine this. Imagine

262
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>this here in southern California with our water where the

263
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.120
<v Speaker 2>bacteria levels pure bacteria, which is way too high for

264
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>any human to go into. Imagine that water coming at

265
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you one hundred plus miles an hour. Imagine a tsunami

266
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of poop. Keep your mouth closed, keep your mouth closed,

267
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.679
<v Speaker 2>and your cheeks tight, because when a tsunami hit Southern California,

268
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.519
<v Speaker 2>it's not gonna be poop tis. It's gonna be a

269
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 2>poop nami. A poop nami. Yes. Right now, officials are

270
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 2>cautioning residents to check whether they live in a tsunami

271
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.879
<v Speaker 2>zone ahead of Tsunami Preparedness Week. Yes, there's actually a

272
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.159
<v Speaker 2>week starting tomorrow all the way through next week is

273
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Tsunami Preparedness Week here in southern California. And yes, the

274
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.840
<v Speaker 2>chances of a tsunami hitting us anytime soon are probably,

275
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, next to zero. But but but all these

276
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.720
<v Speaker 2>little mini earthquakes that we've been having that everyone wants

277
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 2>to laugh at, Oh twalla, the earthquakes. What if we

278
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 2>have one in the water that we just can't feel,

279
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>all right, our little meters don't go off, and that

280
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 2>water sets off the tsunami, okay, and sends that poop

281
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>coming at you one hundred plus miles an hour, a

282
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>liquid code brown. Nobody wants this. Nobody wants it. Mark,

283
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no way you're gonna want to clean

284
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 2>up the beaches. California will be done if we get

285
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 2>hit with the tsunami. And it's interesting that they say,

286
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, make sure you are monitoring and checking if

287
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you live in a tsunami area, because what are you

288
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. What are you gonna do for tsunami week?

289
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Are you gonna pack up and move somewhere? No, No,

290
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 2>go inland the beaches.

291
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.559
<v Speaker 3>You see the waves going the opposite way, You get

292
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:43.000
<v Speaker 3>in your car, you head to the there there's.

293
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>No places to stay right now, right now, those of

294
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 2>us who've been impacted by eating in the palisades. Were

295
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.399
<v Speaker 2>already staying everywhere, so there's no order for people to go. Okay,

296
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 2>that's fair. Well, remember when you were a child and

297
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:55.960
<v Speaker 2>you would make fun of relatives who kept the plastic

298
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>covering on counches. Ye, leave it on, Just leave it

299
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.799
<v Speaker 2>on if you're if you're in the area, if you're

300
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.640
<v Speaker 2>in one of these areas. Yeah, yeah, but now you

301
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>can go on and check. I did not grab the website,

302
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 2>but you can go on and check if you do

303
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.599
<v Speaker 2>live in one of these tsunami areas. I believe it's

304
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 2>not tsunami dot Com. It's not. It's not our uh producer, Kayla,

305
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not. I thought it was, and I think I

306
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 2>accidentally deleted it where you could go and check. I'm

307
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>talking and stalling so I can give you time to

308
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 2>look it up. If you didn't know that, Kayla, Yes,

309
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I know you're taching it. Did somebody rush right in

310
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 2>and hog tsunami dot Com so that the legit people

311
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>couldn't have it? Maybe? Maybe because it's If Kala says

312
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 2>that is tsunami dot Com, I will fall out. Got

313
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.440
<v Speaker 2>this great idea for a restaurant. Guess what we're gonna

314
00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 2>call it.

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 3>It is conservation dot c a dot gov slash CGS

316

317
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 3>mouthful tsunami dot com.

318
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure I'll take you there as well. Love

319
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>it camfi AM six forty. We are live everywhere on

320
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:09.039
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app. And yesterday we talked about possibly moving

321
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 2>to Disney's Villa in the Coachella area and no, none

322
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>of us can afford it. But but but thanks to

323
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Fanny May, we may actually be able to get ourselves

324
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:28.440
<v Speaker 2>into a condo right now. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong,

325
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>but with the way I'm looking at this where it

326
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>says that Fanny May's blacklist has four hundred and thirty

327
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 2>eight California communities with availabilities, I'm thinking that we may

328
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 2>have something. So we'll look into that.

329
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, you're listening to Later with Moe

333
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>that you are are in the market for a place. Well,

334
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of looking in when the right place comes

335
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.799
<v Speaker 2>along that I can afford and live indoors, and then

336
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:14.599
<v Speaker 2>I'll jump yeah, super producer, Kayla, are you still looking?

337
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Are you comfortable where you're at?

338
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

339
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.880
<v Speaker 2>No, I love my place. I'm very comfortable for now. Yeah.

340
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.720
<v Speaker 2>What about you, Foosh? You comfortable yet comfortable? Yeah? Yeah,

341
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you see that that response was a little uncomfortable, that

342
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:32.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm comfortable, a bit lackluster. Yes, in fact, he's lying.

343
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm declaring in the hostile witness that that was not

344
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a comfortable response, like to get I'd like to be

345
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.839
<v Speaker 2>a homeowner. But okay, comfortable, Okay, okay, okay, cool, cool.

346
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I figure that you and I know hell Uh, being

347
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 2>from and growing up in and and living in the

348
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Pasadena altad the area, I can tell you this, every

349
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>single person that I know growing up UH is looking

350
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 2>for a place right. There are many who would like

351
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.720
<v Speaker 2>they would love the opportunity to stay in Altadena. And

352
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.920
<v Speaker 2>there are so many different initiatives, so many different groups

353
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>working within the Altadena area to help rebuild the city,

354
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 2>to help people stay in their homes with everyone who

355
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.119
<v Speaker 2>wants to that can I mean, I went to a

356
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of a town hall so to speak put on

357
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 2>by none other than Beyonce. Beyonce and her mother they

358
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.480
<v Speaker 2>have an organization that they have started called be Good,

359
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and this organization right now, they have been doing God's

360
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 2>work here in southern California. And while acknowledging the need

361
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.839
<v Speaker 2>in Palisades, what touched Beyonce and her mother the most

362
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.279
<v Speaker 2>is the destruction of Altadena and the history of Alta

363
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Dina and it's relevance in southern California for black home

364
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 2>ownership and the like. And neither of them are from Pasadena. Yes,

365
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.599
<v Speaker 2>they're in Texas, and there is a Pasadena, Texas, but

366
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 2>neither of them are from the city. All right. But

367
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 2>when they saw the destruction and they saw what was happening,

368
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>they came together and they said, we are going to

369
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.880
<v Speaker 2>put our own money. We are going to use our pool.

370
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.240
<v Speaker 2>No one is telling Beyonce no. Okay, they may tell Twalao,

371
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 2>but no one is telling Beyonce no. So Beyonce's gonna

372
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:40.720
<v Speaker 2>go out and get the money. She's gonna go out

373
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and get the money. She's gonna go out and get

374
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the resources, and she's gonna have people coming together and

375
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.720
<v Speaker 2>we are going to help this city. Every which way

376
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 2>that we can. And what I saw them do just

377
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.400
<v Speaker 2>for this town hall and for everyone that was in

378
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing short of miraculous. Okay, I've seen a

379
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of politicians on the West Coast talk about what

380
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do for whether it be Eaten or

381
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 2>the Palisades, and I've seen little to nothing happen. The

382
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.519
<v Speaker 2>movement has been slow as far as what it should

383
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.359
<v Speaker 2>be in my estimation. But to see someone like Beyonce

384
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and her mother come out and say, here's what we're doing.

385
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.200
<v Speaker 2>We are going to keep our word and we are

386
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>going to take care of all of you. What I

387
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.480
<v Speaker 2>saw again in there was nothing short of amazing. And

388
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I've met Beyonce. I don't know how many times Microraft

389
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.079
<v Speaker 2>had her on concerts, had it on shows and off air.

390
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.359
<v Speaker 2>I'll even tell you a funny personal Beyonce story. But yes,

391
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I can never say anything bad about Beyonce, not because

392
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 2>of what she did for my family. And this is

393
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 2>non sponsorship, this is not getting paid to say anything

394
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>good about beyond just just hit my mind. As I'm

395
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.319
<v Speaker 2>looking at the availability of condos by way of Fanning

396
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.079
<v Speaker 2>made it just hit me about what Beyonce has done

397
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 2>for or us in the Altadta area and what she's

398
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:04.960
<v Speaker 2>doing here in southern California. I'm like, she doesn't know

399
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 2>any of us, She doesn't know any of us, doesn't

400
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>have to do anything, but still it's stepping up to

401
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.079
<v Speaker 2>do so. So I never had anything bad to say

402
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 2>about Beyonce, but you will never hear a crossword come

403
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>out of my mouth ever about her or her mother,

404
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>because they are about it. And they didn't have cameras there,

405
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have, you know, a bunch of press there.

406
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.960
<v Speaker 2>You know that Tina knows. She came out, she said, hey, look,

407
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Yonce wants to be here, but she is preparing for

408
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.720
<v Speaker 2>a tour where she is. But here's what we're doing

409
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 2>right now. And it was like one of those like man,

410
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.839
<v Speaker 2>everyone in there was crying because of what they did.

411
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 2>And So when I think about that, and I think

412
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.559
<v Speaker 2>about how how hard it is right now for just

413
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.200
<v Speaker 2>those of us here in southern California to even fathom

414
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 2>owning a home, it's almost as if this this state

415
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.039
<v Speaker 2>is set up for us to not own a home.

416
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 2>It's almost set up for us to stay in an

417
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.519
<v Speaker 2>apartment forever, because apartments, most every apartment is on a

418
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.640
<v Speaker 2>monthly basis, it's costing you what you could be putting

419
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.599
<v Speaker 2>towards a house, but none of us can get together

420
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.839
<v Speaker 2>enough to put down on the house to get out

421
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>of the apartment in the first place. So it's like

422
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 2>this rat race that we're in this this situation where

423
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 2>it's just it is rubbing two nickels together. Here in

424
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>southern California is rough, And I get it. I know,

425
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I know cost of living is a lot cheaper elsewhere.

426
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>When when I was in Eerie and they were charging

427
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:31.599
<v Speaker 2>US nine hundred and fifty dollars a month for a

428
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.559
<v Speaker 2>palatial estate, it was like one of those like every

429
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>time I pay this year, I was like, I feel

430
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.240
<v Speaker 2>like I'm gonna get in trouble, Like the police are

431
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna come and say you've been living in a drugg

432
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.599
<v Speaker 2>den and you know this house is being uh they're

433
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 2>using this to funnel money through. I just I said

434
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.200
<v Speaker 2>to myself, this is crazy how much it costs to

435
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:54.279
<v Speaker 2>buy a house in southern California. And yes, Fannie May,

436
00:24:54.759 --> 00:25:00.720
<v Speaker 2>they have this blacklist where where good news there is

437
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 2>an inventory of available properties for sale, and that inventory

438
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>list has grown. The bad news again is that these

439
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>properties are still touting their highest prices ever with the

440
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 2>highest interest rates ever in heavy buyer competition, because land's

441
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.200
<v Speaker 2>is finite here in southern California, all the deserts are

442
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 2>not build it out there. They're just building up in

443
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 2>areas like that. So yes, fat he may have more

444
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:33.240
<v Speaker 2>places in and they may have places available. But Mark,

445
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 2>if you had the opportunity right now to move into

446
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a place that could cost you some six seven thousand

447
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 2>a month, are you doing that tomorrow? Or I'd be

448
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:47.720
<v Speaker 2>living in my car. And in fact, do you remember

449
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.640
<v Speaker 2>when we spoke last night off the air, I told

450
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you that I'd been looking into people living in their cars,

451
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and more and more people who are working full time

452
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.680
<v Speaker 2>are forced to live in their cars because of how

453
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:02.960
<v Speaker 2>insanely expensive how and you can't rule out the factor

454
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.880
<v Speaker 2>of a private equity buying up real estate and houses.

455
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.240
<v Speaker 2>In LA nearly twenty thousand people are living in their

456
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 2>cars right now, right now, right now, people who have

457
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:17.000
<v Speaker 2>full time jobs, well that's not all full time job,

458
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's nearly forty percent of the homeless. There are

459
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 2>people living in their cars in LA. Cars. I'm telling

460
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 2>you that there are people that I personally know who

461
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 2>have full time jobs. Okay, these are not you know,

462
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.559
<v Speaker 2>don't hear what we're saying and think, well, they got

463
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to do better than working at McDonald's. No, no, no, no,

464
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.599
<v Speaker 2>no no. I know people who are working within the

465
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.559
<v Speaker 2>high fives and the low to mid sixes and they

466
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 2>have decided to just tough it out, live in their car. Yeah,

467
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>membership and that's what it's going to be. And there

468
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 2>are no accidents. This is not a thing that just

469
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:59.079
<v Speaker 2>happened by accident. Going ahead. I just I'm reading multiple

470
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.359
<v Speaker 2>things at the same time here, Yeah, trying to wrap

471
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>my head around this. But the fact that you work

472
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a full time job and you can't live in a

473
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 2>house seems absolutely through the looking glass insane to me. Yeah.

474
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:16.440
<v Speaker 2>And it's like when I saw this list of condo availabilities,

475
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, published by La Daily News and the reporting

476
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 2>on what Fannie May's organization is put out, and I'm like, hey,

477
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:29.519
<v Speaker 2>this is great, this is great, but this information is

478
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.319
<v Speaker 2>literally it's not even worth the paper that is printed

479
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:35.519
<v Speaker 2>on because not a single one of us who all

480
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 2>work full time jobs. I work two full time jobs,

481
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's one of those things where still here in

482
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 2>southern California. We cannot go out and buy a house. Well,

483
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. We know that roughly sixty five percent

484
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.799
<v Speaker 2>of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, which in and of

485
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 2>itself is a little hard to swallow, not that I

486
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:58.960
<v Speaker 2>don't believe it, but that it shouldn't be. And so

487
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.039
<v Speaker 2>you get into this trap where let's say you have

488
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 2>to move into a place where the average rent here

489
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.799
<v Speaker 2>is three grand a month. That doesn't leave a lot

490
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 2>of working people a lot of money left over to

491
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 2>save and put away. And then when you factor in

492
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 2>that a huge percentage of Americans don't have an extra

493
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars for an emergency expense. You're not buying a house.

494
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.039
<v Speaker 2>You're not buying a house. And if you do, then

495
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.759
<v Speaker 2>that's all you have. You don't have anything in that house.

496
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 2>You're no longer driving your car. You are walking to

497
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.599
<v Speaker 2>work because every dime you make is going into the house.

498
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.079
<v Speaker 2>And and n you talking about a small house three

499
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 2>thousand a month, you're talking about a very very small house.

500
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And most apartments right now like they're looking at like

501
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:45.079
<v Speaker 2>thirty five hundred force for a one bedroom, one bath.

502
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm like the ooh, almost made me curse, all right,

503
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 2>don't do that. No KFI AM six before I gotta go.

523
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 2>housing and the situation. Now to Dina. I almost forgot that.

524
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 2>There are a couple of things I did want to

525
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:13.519
<v Speaker 2>make sure you were aware of. One is that FEMA

526
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 2>has extended the deadline to apply for wildfire disaster assistance

527
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 2>up until Monday the thirty first. All right, Monday, March

528
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.720
<v Speaker 2>thirty first is the absolute ind date deadline to apply

529
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:35.640
<v Speaker 2>for FEMA assistance. To apply for an SBA loan, find

530
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:41.039
<v Speaker 2>yourself a FEMA help center and make sure you apply.

531
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.279
<v Speaker 2>If you are a victim from either the Palisades or

532
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Eaten wildfire, or any of the wildfires that ran through

533
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:54.839
<v Speaker 2>southern California in January, please please please apply. You can

534
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Speaker 2>go online and at Disaster Assistance dot gov, which is

535
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.319
<v Speaker 2>the fastest option. You can use the FEMA app available

536
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 2>at the App Store or at Google Play. You can

537
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:09.480
<v Speaker 2>call the female helpline at eight hundred six two one

538
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>three three six two. Once again, the FEMA helpline is

539
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred six two one three three six two. Or

540
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 2>you can visit a Disaster Recovery center and for locations,

541
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 2>you can visit DRC location or DRC locator. I would

542
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.720
<v Speaker 2>say visit the Disaster Recovery center in person so you

543
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>can have someone help you navigate the process because it

544
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.319
<v Speaker 2>is a lot. There's a lot of red tape, a

545
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of bureaucracy, and if you don't have someone on

546
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 2>the inside helping you find your way out, it can

547
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:53.240
<v Speaker 2>be daunting. Also, one more deadline before we end this hour.

548
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>The deadline is approaching for fire victims to choose debre

549
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:02.640
<v Speaker 2>removal methods. A residence impacted by the Palisades and eat

550
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:06.640
<v Speaker 2>wildfire have until the same FEMA date, March thirty first,

551
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>to decide how they will remove debried from their properties. Now,

552
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 2>our Mayor Karen Bass is urging all homeowners impacted by

553
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 2>the Palisades fire to opt into debris removal through the

554
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 2>US Army Corps of Engineers, which is free. Bass is

555
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.599
<v Speaker 2>also announcing a new emergency Executive Order to help expedite

556
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the rebuilding process and to protect against future disasters. And

557
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 2>that's great. Whatever you do, make sure you choose a

558
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.519
<v Speaker 2>method now. We do not want you to be stuck

559
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to take care of that yourself. I promise you

560
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 2>it is. It is insane. And I am happy to

561
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>announce that I was recently in in my neighborhood. The

562
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.720
<v Speaker 2>other day. We were going about and trying to help,

563
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 2>not help, but we were going through our place and

564
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:56.279
<v Speaker 2>cleaning out stuff or really throwing away a lot of stuff.

565
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Had to go through that kitchen, and god, that was

566
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a task. And that's just the first room, going through

567
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>and clean out that fridge with all that stuff that

568
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 2>had spoiled, all the stuff, and it was it was horrible.

569
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 2>And so that was a thing. But while there, I

570
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>saw trucks moving NonStop. These big trucks were hauling debris

571
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 2>up and down the street, and it was really amazing

572
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:23.640
<v Speaker 2>to see. And there was construction crews around the corner

573
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 2>from but I can see, I can see all the

574
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>way around the corner, and now I can see all

575
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the way onto the next block over them excavating and

576
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:33.839
<v Speaker 2>digging out the debris and getting rid of it. And

577
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I believe right now on our block, I believe there's

578
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>what four maybe five houses that have been cleared away.

579
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.279
<v Speaker 2>And seeing that and seeing these places just stripped away,

580
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had just had a time lapsed camera

581
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 2>that could just put in just sitting and it could

582
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:51.599
<v Speaker 2>just record all of the taking away and then you know,

583
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.599
<v Speaker 2>eventually the rebuilding. But it is an amazing thing to

584
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.279
<v Speaker 2>see just make sure you're not the one paying for

585
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.480
<v Speaker 2>a debris removal. Contact the US Army Corps of Engineers

586
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 2>and set your date to have them come and help

587
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.039
<v Speaker 2>you with that remove or not help you, but get

588
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>rid of it because you don't want to do it yourself.

589
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I promise you that I'll have some information on that

590
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 2>in the newscast at the top of the hour. Is

591
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>it true in your observation that things are going faster

592
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.719
<v Speaker 2>than predicted? Yes, absolutely, absolutely, shockingly shock The first I
