As we step unapologetically into the week, 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,159 rooted in purpose, power, wisdom, truth and faith. We're blessed 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,240 with several celestial influences inviting karmen, closure, grounded self reflection, 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,799 and deep emotional release. This week, the cosmic call to 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,679 action is to surrender control, face reality with Gray's trusting 14 00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:55,079 divine order. Our transformational journey begins with the Sun, Mercury 15 00:00:55,159 --> 00:01:01,479 and Venus and Virgo leading into Friday. Or listen to 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,879 Friday's full moon moonery eclipse and Pisces Hi Hi. It's 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,799 a crazy week. This eclipse represents completion and life course shifts, 18 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,640 breaking things open and giving us an energetic push to 19 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,760 release old patterns and stagnation. Under the piss's full moon, 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,159 it's time to act on our dreams, not just talk 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,040 about them. To surrender healing and expanded consciousness, we gain 22 00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,400 insight and clarity. This cycle is a true walk through 23 00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:30,959 the valley of the shadow of death, fearing no evil 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,640 as it pushes us beyond our comfort zone. We gain 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840 deep inside by setting new intentions, taking out the trash 26 00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:40,640 and letting go to let God. It's a leap of faith, 27 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:44,640 bringing spiritual growth through self acceptance, courage, and prayer. The 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,680 call to action is to soften our hearts, release ego, 29 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,280 and listen to the wisdom of our soul. The time 30 00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,239 has come to release the bs and trust that is safe. 31 00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:56,959 To embrace our power on apologetically opening ourselves to receive 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,079 fulfillment of our long awaited dreams.

And 93 00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,639 remember Mary j no hater ration, holration. 94 00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: In this dancery. You forgot the dancery. 95 00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess our lives is like a dancer. Reason. 96 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: So a Virgo Virgo Virgo we got. We got all 97 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,040 this Virgo energy. And then a full moon in Pisces. 98 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: See yeah, in the opposition full moons when the moon 99 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,399 is well, the sun is opposite the moon. That's why 100 00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,959 we get a full boom because it's the light. And 101 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,600 so we have a lot, it's a lot of Virgo 102 00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,000 stuff going on. On the twenty second, the sun enters 103 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,879 Virgo for four weeks. On the twenty fifth, Mercury moves 104 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:16,439 into Virgo, supporting clarity and organization. And on the twenty eighth, 105 00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,319 we have the lunary clips in Pisces, and it's aiding 106 00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:21,240 us to break free from the path and to move 107 00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:25,000 in through the future, manifesting change. However, this lunary clips 108 00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:27,639 starts on Thursday night and all the way to Friday. 109 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,240 It's kind of Craig Craig, and we also have we 110 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,519 also have Mercury and Virgo square Uranus asking us to 111 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,240 think outside the box and to work on inside of 112 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,600 truth as opposed to illusions, and also to step away 113 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,920 from any friction. So you know, with a cool move 114 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,560 and a lunary clips and the Virgo like because you 115 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,639 think of Virgo, Virgo is purification, Virgo is analytical, and 116 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,839 in Virgo is exalted. Virgo helps us get organized, It 117 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:06,199 helps us take the trash out, It helps us have 118 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,240 discerning It can be very critical and judgmental, but it 119 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,720 also gives us that discerning dynamic that we need to 120 00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:19,079 make change with the Pisces opposition, we have to work 121 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,160 really hard to not be delusional about the reality that's 122 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800 in front of us. Believe people when they tell you 123 00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,839 who they are, let go, when spiracs let go, and 124 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,519 especially under this eclipse, you know there's a lot of 125 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,360 gang going on. So just be mindful of what your 126 00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:36,879 truth is and don't go for the okie doke. And 127 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:38,440 I don't know how to say it any other way. 128 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: All right, pay attention face reality. That's pretty straightforward. Sahara 129 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,799 Ali will return with us. So if you have a 130 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,600 question or comment eight hundred and nine two fifteen eighty. 131 00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:52,720 If not, you know, I do, I do. I felt 132 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,159 like I was in a mercury retrograde eclipse twilight zone yesterday, 133 00:08:57,159 --> 00:09:00,159 and so I shall buckle up for the week ahead. 134 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,519 We did face reality, though we did. We got bag 135 00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:06,799 in the car and drove back to LA listening to 136 00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:11,440 KBLA Talk fifteen eighty. You know, we were talking with 137 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,559 James this morning about how you know, how this massive 138 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,919 report does or does not help the fire victims, fire 139 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,720 survivors there in Altadena. You are an Altadena Pasadena community 140 00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:30,879 member yourself, and I know that some of those fire 141 00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:34,759 survivors have come to you for treatment and counseling and 142 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:41,720 you know, sound treatments, healings, life coaching. Are you I 143 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,799 feel like it's been so long without meaningful relief for them? 144 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,879 Are you seeing people holding on to hope? Or you 145 00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,960 talk about the you know, the eclipse energy and the 146 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Virgo energy means we got to face reality. How is 147 00:09:59,279 --> 00:09:59,840 this hitting? 148 00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: It's so it's on so many levels, because there are 149 00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:08,240 some people who are liquid and they are still going on, 150 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,480 and there are so many people that's displaced. I have 151 00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:15,320 several teenagers that I see and it's because they're all 152 00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:17,879 living in one place, sleeping on a couch. They don't 153 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:22,399 they don't feel centered or grounded and there's deep depression. 154 00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:25,559 And then the real thing is there's a lot of 155 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,360 politics going on with this, okay, and there's a lot 156 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:36,120 of there's a lot of confusion, and the things that 157 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,399 they're asking of people really doesn't make sense. I know 158 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,159 one of my clients, everything in our house burned and 159 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,320 she went to go get supported and they said, well, 160 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,000 do you have your ss car? Do you have your 161 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,679 birth certificate? And she says it burned in the fire, 162 00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:52,759 and they says, well, go get it and then come back. Now, 163 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,039 you know that is insensitive, it is disrespectful, but I 164 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,600 know politics is politics. But the other thing is that 165 00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:07,240 it is very daunting, it is very very traumatic, and 166 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,679 some people are having deep emotional psychosis coming to the surface. 167 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:20,679 And it's really interesting. For the men, it's initiating crazy perversions. 168 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,039 Their wives are like he wants this and not and this. 169 00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:29,159 It's just really interesting how people manage stressed differently. But 170 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,559 what really hurts my heart is the kids. The kids, 171 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:38,039 they don't understand. They feel ashamed because they have to 172 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,080 go to school and they're going to school with kids 173 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,399 who have everything, and they don't have everything. They don't 174 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:45,559 have their clothes, they don't have their memories, and then 175 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,720 the people that are liquid, they are frustrated with the 176 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360 politics of trying to rebuild and the dynamics that they 177 00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:58,080 go through with the contractors and the permit and them 178 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:02,399 having too the powers that be come out to the 179 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,519 contractors come out, it's like, well, you can't have this 180 00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:07,200 over here, you can't build that this way. So it's 181 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,480 a lot of I don't put it this way. There's 182 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,320 a lot of deception, there's a lot of greed. And 183 00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:16,799 you know, we ride the bike up there and some 184 00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:22,440 houses are up, some houses aren't. Some houses are boarded 185 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,360 up but still have fire damage on them, and you 186 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,480 can tell who has money and who doesn't. And that 187 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:32,519 is the big thing with this fire situation. It's a 188 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,559 great divide the haves and the have nots, and the 189 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,360 have nots are suffering greatly. And the hard part of 190 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:43,639 the have nots is one of the city forms that 191 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:50,200 I attended. They would have Grandma across the street, Auntie 192 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:56,080 Jane around the corner, sister next door, and all of 193 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,639 this is gone. They have no place of respite, they 194 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,559 have no. 195 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: Right because I mean, if you're a have not in 196 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,399 that situation, you might have been a long term resident 197 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,360 of a home that was passed on to you by 198 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,799 your family. So you didn't feel like I have not. 199 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,960 You had your family there. You guys could pitch in resources, 200 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:15,440 you had a place to live. Now if you're under 201 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,919 insured or uninsured, all of that is gone and probably 202 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,320 not coming back. And that's got to be tough for folks, 203 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:25,360 you know, in any. 204 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, but even with the insurance, there's a lot of 205 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,639 politics around there. They don't want to pay you the 206 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,480 value of your property. But this is the kicker that 207 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,720 they still have to pay rent. 208 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 209 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,279 Speaker 2: I have a client. They have a condo and some 210 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,600 big condo thing and one side of the building burned 211 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,039 and the other side of the building only had smoke damage. 212 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,399 So they fixed the smoke damage building first, and they're 213 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,120 still will rebuilding their condo. But they still have to 214 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:55,559 pay rent. Yeah, and h o A fees and all 215 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,360 of this. And the other part is there was a 216 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:00,919 beautiful form. It was really wonderful. We got to do 217 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,279 a sound bath and I got a chance to do 218 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,720 a guide of meditation. There are some dynamic sisters who 219 00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:10,559 are well educated in their attorneys and they are fighting 220 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,960 for the community getting things together. Ashley I don't know 221 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,720 Ashley's last name, but the collaboratory they're doing a really 222 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,679 good job with helping the people, supporting the people and 223 00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:26,840 championing the people and trying to give them clarity and support. 224 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,679 They have this huge board, it is crazy where all 225 00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:34,200 the houses were burnt, all the houses that are rebuilt, 226 00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:37,200 all the houses that will never be rebuilt, and a 227 00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:41,480 list of all the displaced people. It's heart renting, it's 228 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:45,480 heart wrenching. It's like watching a slave ship diagram. It 229 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,559 is just so heart wrenching to see so many people 230 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,600 displaced and where are they? 231 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,279 Speaker 1: You know? 232 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: They say, well, a lot. 233 00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,799 Speaker 1: Of them are in South LA some are you know, 234 00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:59,120 further Afield. And that's you know, people from what I've 235 00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:02,039 been able to gather, they've gone. The ones that aren't 236 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,639 living in their cars have gone to where other black 237 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,720 people are that they know, right, which is right? Any 238 00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:13,639 in any case, it's I'm glad that you're, you know, 239 00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:16,720 working with folks in the ways that you can. It's 240 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,879 kind of an all hands on deck situation. But it's 241 00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,799 sad to hear about those kids, you know, and how 242 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:23,919 their whole lives have. 243 00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: Been just oh yeah, and they with you kids and 244 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:32,480 they know their house burnt down, and they make them 245 00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,120 feel so small. I have one young lady. It just 246 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,320 hurts my heart. You know, she's she's sleeping on the 247 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,399 couch with her mom at her at her aunt's house. 248 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,000 You know, it's like ten people in a three bedroom place, 249 00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:48,720 and it's just so hard. And she's a gorgeous little girl, 250 00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:50,919 and she just cries every time she comes. And I 251 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,600 try to give her hope. And I understand, God doesn't 252 00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,039 give you a burden that you can't carry. But as 253 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440 you carry the burden, it is so important to hold 254 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320 on to the faith. And it's really hard to have faith. 255 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,879 And so it's so important that we have love and 256 00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:08,799 compassion and lots of prayers for the souls that have 257 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,279 chose to take this journey to bring this awakening about 258 00:16:12,559 --> 00:16:15,879 the disparity that exists up in Altadena and the greed 259 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,120 that exists in this whole community and this global thing 260 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,639 of greed. And so I say, everybody stay prayed up 261 00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:28,279 about Altadena, do what you can to support the Alcadenians, 262 00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:31,799 and stay in a positive mind. And all of the 263 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,480 legal people, with all your legal power, go and help 264 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,000 those people and help guide them. So that they don't 265 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,519 get cheated, or that they can feel like they have 266 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,919 something bigger to support them with, because a lot of 267 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:44,960 people are not educated about the laws and the insurance 268 00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:48,240 and all the political things that you have to go through. 269 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,360 Even designing and building a house. There's a lot of 270 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,159 legal stuff and there's a lot of contractors that are 271 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,360 cheating people. So all the powers that be, whatever skills 272 00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:01,879 you have, whatever knowledge you have about building houses or rebuilding, 273 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,279 or helping find placements or grants or whatever, show up. Yeah, laboratory, 274 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,200 The collaboratory is a good place to start. They have 275 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,759 a whole organization and they have their hands on the 276 00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:15,279 pulse of all the Altadena Fuier situation. 277 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: The person you're talking about is ash Level with Alta 278 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,279 Dina Rising is the organization, right, yeah, right, And they 279 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:29,839 have a website altadenuisingnow dot org.

Yes, that's what I 281 00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:37,599 love about Altadena Rising.

We got news, traffic and sports, 305 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,880 and then the phone lines are wide open. If you 306 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,039 want a vent, I'm here for you. A Bla Doug 307 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,200 fifteen eighty. If you belong here and you're welcome here 308 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,440 at eight hundred and nine to fifteen eighty, eight hundred 309 00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:08,920 nine to fifteen eighty. That's the number to call if 310 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,839 you want to say a thing about a thing. And 311 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,160 there are so many things we learned over the weekend 312 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,920 that Carmelo Anthony will not get or least the judges 313 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,160 ruled not to grant him a new trial. And that 314 00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:28,960 is not shocking after the reports that we heard from 315 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:33,440 activists on the ground there in Texas that even though 316 00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:40,839 they had granted the defense's motion that they would get 317 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,039 a new judge, that those two judges were friends, that 318 00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,559 the prosecutors were friends, that they were all sort of 319 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,839 part of a small town group of old school white 320 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,960 folks and the judge, which to me, it seems very 321 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,119 strange that if there was enough bias on the part 322 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,119 of a judge to warran a new judge, that there 323 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,839 wouldn't be enough to warrant a new trial. But that 324 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:12,960 is what the that is what the new judge decided 325 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,440 that there will be no new trial. The defense team, 326 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:21,799 the new lawyers for Carmelo Anthony, not giving up. They 327 00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:27,839 are planning to appeal and we shall see. But right 328 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:35,240 now the thirty five year sentence for defending himself stands, 329 00:20:35,759 --> 00:20:39,319 and yeah, there's more to say about that. Sam called 330 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:46,119 last week talking about how information about Carmelo Anthony came 331 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,440 out that was not favorable to him, and a lot 332 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,119 of information came out about the Metcalf twins that was 333 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,680 not favorable to them. But as hey, hey with mamas 334 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,200 for Carmelo Anthony, and he pointed out on Instagram what 335 00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:09,200 Carmelo Anthony was doing was talking smack on text He 336 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:14,119 was saying some things that were not good, you know, 337 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:19,880 violent thoughts and dumb stuff. But what the Medcalfs did 338 00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:23,720 was take action, spraying Nazi graffiti and beating people up. 339 00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:27,559 It's a little different, you know, talking big on texts 340 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:31,359 as opposed to taking actions. It's a little different. And sadly, 341 00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:35,920 you know, teenagers do have impulse control problems and many 342 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,440 times they talk smack and say things and try to 343 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,240 act big. And I'm not justifying that, but it's not 344 00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:46,160 the same as going grabbing someone and beating them up 345 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,759 or spray painting Nazi symbolism on walls. Those are actually actions. 346 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:58,279 Those are not just posturing in any case, free Carmelo. 347 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,720 We will continue to watch this case, even though, as 348 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:08,720 we said, for now Carmelo Anthony goes back to prison 349 00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:13,319 after Judge Michael Chitty that's his name. I didn't make 350 00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:17,160 it up. Judge Michael Chitty was put on the case 351 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,079 as a new judge because of what seemed to be 352 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,799 bias in the case of the old judge, and yet 353 00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:28,200 same result. Let's go to Big Phil calling us from 354 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,000 LA Good morning, Big Phil. 355 00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:33,759 Speaker 3: Money that was go sleep man. That Tavis fu he 356 00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:36,200 putting the ham on Mark Keith? Did they get him? 357 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720 Dooming got a million dollars? 358 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,519 Speaker 1: That's what That's what Tavis is reporting. I have not 359 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,759 seen any paperwork. I know that Tavis's is reporting. Well, 360 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,240 I believe Tavisa is reporting what the council president said himself. 361 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,720 So I don't know. I mean, I know that funds 362 00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:02,319 came in from the Metro and I and I don't know. 363 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,359 I haven't seen any breakdown as far as money from 364 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,880 the Metro versus money from destination Crenshaw or procrastination Crenshaw. 365 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,240 I haven't seen that breakdown. And I think that is 366 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,759 the point, is that we want to see an audit. 367 00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:22,279 We want to see what money went, where, to whom? 368 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,519 And why isn't it finished? You know that I think 369 00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:30,119 is the whole point. Did duel get a million? What 370 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,440 happened to that million? Did it ever go to really 371 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,759 go to dueling? You know what I mean? That's those 372 00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:37,720 are the questions that we're asking. 373 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,799 Speaker 3: The money getting funny anyway that Ramen, she needs to 374 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:43,640 go shut down. I mean, she's making a fool out 375 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,640 of parents went to that meeting. She needs to go 376 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,960 really shut down. To be honest with you, that's just 377 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,839 my last land with that. 378 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,279 Speaker 1: What meeting Are you talking about that, Karen? Are you 379 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:57,240 talking about the debate? 380 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,319 Speaker 3: The debate with Yeah, I mean she had no experience, 381 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,920 like Kara Beth says, she hired a politics the dirty, 382 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,400 dirty game. Okay, it is. 383 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: It is And also it's politics. I mean for Nathew Rahman, 384 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,680 who's a sitting council member in the La City Council, 385 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,799 she's mad that she was pulled off as the leader 386 00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:27,039 of the housing committee, but she the homeless committee. I 387 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,799 guess she says it's for political reasons. Well, that's politics. 388 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,279 Everything is for political reasons. You know the reason you're 389 00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:38,160 complaining about it is political. The reason people are saying 390 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,240 you're not effective. Everything is political. There's a book by 391 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,400 former Speaker Willie Brown which is brilliant and he breaks 392 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:53,960 down politics. Yeah, if you resind your endorsement of the 393 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,720 mayor a month after you endorse her and decide to 394 00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:59,960 run against her, there's going to be political consequences that. 395 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,920 That's why they call it politics. However, the people on 396 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,279 that homeless committee are saying that she just wasn't showing up, 397 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:09,920 she wasn't doing her job. And then the very day 398 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,640 of the of her final meeting as the chair, because 399 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,880 she'll still stay on the committee, she just won't be 400 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,920 the chair, she didn't show up and they didn't have 401 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,720 quorum so they had to cancel it. So you know, yes, 402 00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:25,440 it's political. It's politics. That's why they call it politics. 403 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:34,160 It's going to be quite a lively spirited election season. 404 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,400 And I hope that no matter who wins, you know, 405 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,480 the mayor's race, no matter who wins these ballot measures 406 00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:46,880 and all of these you know the governor's race, well 407 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,640 that we all come out a little smarter, better informed. 408 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,640 I mean, at least in La. Either way it goes, 409 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,480 you've got a Democrat either way it goes you've got 410 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,440 a woman of color. But to your point, Big Phil, 411 00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:04,640 if I have two candidates with similar voting records and 412 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,559 one has tons of experience and the other one has 413 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,839 no experience, I'll probably take the experience one. If I 414 00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:17,599 have two candidates with similar voting records and one is 415 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,000 black the other's not black, I'm gonna take the black one. 416 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:25,799 That's just me. But now you've got the convergence of 417 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:28,720 the black one being the one with more experience on 418 00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:34,640 the on the local, community organizing, federal, you know, in state. 419 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,359 So I'm you know, like I said, I'm paying attention, 420 00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:43,920 I'm reporting the facts. I do my best any time 421 00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:46,680 that I interview candidates, I'm always going to be fair 422 00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:49,880 and ask the tough questions to both. But it is 423 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,480 that was quite a quite a mayoral debate out in 424 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:56,799 Sherman Oaks. 425 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 3: Hello, Yeah, yeah, see you you bet my mother at 426 00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:05,119 the Afterton there's my Mother's the one to hit court 427 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,599 system ob with Saint Louis. She's a very briy, one 428 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,319 beautiful woman. She's gone now, but she told me she's so. 429 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,640 I want to be no politician because this is a dirty, 430 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,480 dirty gay, and she's right, I'm gonna land. God bless 431 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:16,880 you definitely come out. God bless you. 432 00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: Okay, God bless you too. I mean, and I get that. Okay, 433 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:28,119 there is always there is always dirt and politics, but 434 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,759 a lot there are people getting stuff done too. Like 435 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:36,359 it's tough and money is way more of a of 436 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,839 a powerful player than it should be. Yogi Fish says, now, 437 00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:45,160 don't based vote based on race, not race alone. Okay, 438 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:47,799 yogi fish, you got a business assuming you're black, you 439 00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:51,359 look black in the picture. You've got too candidate? Yeah, right, 440 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,680 you never know. It could be abot. But you got 441 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,279 two candidates. You got two candidates for a job that 442 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,880 you're hiring. They both have the same resume. One is 443 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,599 black and one is not what you're gonna do. They 444 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,119 have the same resume. That's not hiring based on race. 445 00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:15,119 It's hiring based on qualifications. But if they're if all 446 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,920 things are equal, yeah, I'm going with black. I'm betting 447 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:24,839 on black for sure, and proud of it too. Eight 448 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,319 hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty. And that's not just politics, 449 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:38,799 that's work, that's interpersonal relationships, that's art, that's just to 450 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:46,599 me natural, Yes, because I see being black as an asset, 451 00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:50,799 not a liability. Eight hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty. 452 00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,759 Eight hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty. He says he's purple. 453 00:28:54,079 --> 00:29:03,000 What does that mean? You're Barney the dinosaur. Sharing is caring. 454 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,880 Uh No, that's not called racism, that's called common sense. 455 00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:12,200 I'll take the melanated one. Thank you. Eight hundred nine 456 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,519 two oh fifteen eighty. Say it to my face, Say 457 00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:16,599 it to my face.

We are 461 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,200 kbla talk fifteen eighty. Phil called me at eight hundred 462 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,200 and nine to oh fifteen eighty, eight hundred and nine 463 00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:40,559 to oh fifteen eighty. Rest in peace to Michael Wright, 464 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,880 the actor known most famously for the movie The Five 465 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:51,799 Heart Beats. He died from marchiafava bignami disease, which is 466 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:57,000 a rare neurological condition. He was seventy years old, so 467 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,599 rest in peace to him. Know, just a fine actor 468 00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:09,559 who worked throughout his life, which is actually surprisingly rare, sadly, 469 00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:14,960 very rare. So yeah, rest in peace to him. Sad 470 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:24,160 to lose another great one. And it seems like the 471 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,720 news cycle is continuing to speed up, but the help 472 00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:31,720 is not continuing to speed up. If your help does 473 00:30:31,759 --> 00:30:35,559 not seem to be on the way. If you're in Indiana, uh, 474 00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:41,200 still waiting for power. Lots of people, thousands still after 475 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:47,160 a storm there. It's been almost two weeks and a 476 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,000 lot of folks still do not have power. It's crazy 477 00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:56,799 to me. I mean, that is sounding like life in 478 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:04,279 a an underdeveloped nation. And I get that. You know 479 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:09,359 there were there was widespread damage, but can't you bring 480 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,079 in some temporary generators or some kind of help. Again, 481 00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:17,400 You've got people at the mercy of this utility company 482 00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:21,799 reminding me a lot of what's going on here in LA. 483 00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:29,559 But also I wonder, in the context of this current administration, 484 00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:35,079 you know, are they doing all they can do, especially 485 00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:44,599 when you're talking about a majority black community and the 486 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,160 governor a Republican, claims that the National Guard is working 487 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,640 really hard to get the power back on, and state 488 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,039 workers from the Department of Correction, which of course makes 489 00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:58,640 me wonder if they're actually incarcerated persons are working to 490 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:05,319 get the power back on, but still tens of thousands 491 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:10,920 of people, mostly black people, are without power. It's it's 492 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:17,880 giving Flint, Michigan and Hurricane and Katrina because the health 493 00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:21,440 help always just appears to move a lot more slowly 494 00:32:22,799 --> 00:32:27,039 when it's us. How do you close down schools for 495 00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,599 a week and you don't know when they're going to open? 496 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,519 A week of mis learning is very significant. As we 497 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:43,799 saw during COVID, the power company apparently did an update 498 00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:49,440 about who has powerware in Indiana and when power will 499 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,599 be stored restored where, and they left they left Gary 500 00:32:54,119 --> 00:33:02,440 off that map. Make it make sense, Yeah, of course 501 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,400 they're angry. Oh the black people aren't even on your 502 00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:10,160 list of when and where we're going to restore power. 503 00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:15,599 Not only is a majority black city, Gary, Indiana, also 504 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:24,680 has a lot of underresourced folks there. The mayor says 505 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,200 there are no simple repairs that they have to fix 506 00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:36,559 entire systems. Still, forty three thousand people without power is crazy. 507 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:42,359 Almost two weeks later and now I guess we're having 508 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,799 an economic war with Canada. Thank you to the resident. 509 00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:51,480 His power is fine. I'm confused. Time to talk to 510 00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:57,200 doctor Julianne Malvo again because we've got. The US just 511 00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:02,240 imposed fifty tariffs on twenty billion dollars worth of Canadian 512 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,480 goods over the weekend after negotiations broke down. They couldn't 513 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,800 work it out. Canada said the US was being ridiculous, 514 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,000 they were asking for too much. Now they're taking countermeasures, 515 00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:24,920 and it's not a good situation. This is another ally 516 00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:30,400 that we're upsetting, that we're alienating that probably doesn't even 517 00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:36,519 consider us an ally anymore. Mark Carney, their prime minister 518 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,960 up there in Canada, he's saying, well, they're gonna be 519 00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:43,559 releasing the details of their own tariffs. But this is 520 00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:47,159 where my confusion comes in. Didn't the courts rule that 521 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,119 are tariffs, that many of Trump's tariffs were illegal, And 522 00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:54,559 now the government is paying back the companies but not 523 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,519 paying back us. We the consumers who paid those higher 524 00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:01,960 prices because of the tearffs. So the companies get the 525 00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:05,320 refund and they'll keep it as profit, but the people 526 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,119 still buy less with their dollars than they bought before. 527 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,519 Those prices don't automatically come down, and all the money 528 00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:16,519 that we've already spent in higher prices because of the tariffs, 529 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,119 we don't get that back. How is that? How is 530 00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:30,360 that economically sound? Well? Anyway, another ally bites the dust. 531 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,880 It was an eventful weekend. It wasn't just me going 532 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,559 to Anaheim for no reason thinking she was gonna see 533 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:49,400 Daniel Caesar and seeing flocks of teenagers. No, there was 534 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:55,320 a lot of news breaking over the weekend. So apparently 535 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,920 when we had heard threats about this, but apparently too 536 00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:05,639 of the alleged friends of Nolan Wells have given a 537 00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:11,000 formal demand letter to the Revernel Sharpton saying that unless 538 00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:15,239 he apologizes and retracts and deletes what they're calling false 539 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,159 in defaminatory statements about these alleged friends of Nolan Wells, 540 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:30,599 Warren Jackson Morgan, that they will sue him. And they 541 00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:36,800 have sent these pre suit demand letters nineteen pages, demanding 542 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:45,920 an apology and demanding the retraction of what they say 543 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,239 are statements about completely innocent young men. Sharpton says, bring it. 544 00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:54,280 I mean not quite in those words, he said, quote, 545 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,480 I welcome the lawsuit, and we'll have my attorneys be 546 00:36:56,519 --> 00:36:58,480 in touch with theirs to arrange for them to serve 547 00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:04,119 me so we can go to court. Okay, he sounds terrified, 548 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,679 but we still don't know what happened to Nolan Wells 549 00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:11,239 who was never seen alive again after taking a trip 550 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,880 to Horn Island in Mississippi for Fourth of July and 551 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,119 he went out on that boat with his white friends 552 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:28,440 and never came back.
