It's on Apple, iHeartRadio, Apple all over the place. 18 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.799 The Bill Handle Show Podcast. Okay, Now, oh, what a 19 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.959 ridiculous story we have that I've never done before. Homelessness, 20 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.719 because that's not a huge issue here, well across the country, 21 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:20.359 but particularly here in California, particularly here in southern California, 22 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.359 particularly here in La County. 23 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.799 Well, ever since the Supreme Court ruled. 24 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.719 In Grant's pass versus Johnson that homeless encampments can be 25 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.879 cleared out even if there are no beds available for 26 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:41.159 the homeless. There is a question that the homeless are asking, 27 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.040 and it is a legitimate question, and that is. 28 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.920 Where do we go? Where do you put us? Where 29 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:51.599 do we camp? 30 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.359 I mean we can't afford housing. I mean all we 31 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.640 can afford our tents. And if you clear us out 32 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.719 of that, then we go there, and you clear us 33 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.439 out of there, then we go over there. 34 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.480 And then what happens when you clear us out of 35 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:08.240 over there? 36 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.000 And so you would think one of the champions of 37 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.680 the homeless those encampments would be a Gavin Newsom because 38 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.439 he is a liberal. 39 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.439 He's come down hard against the homeless. 40 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.439 I mean he has taken state agencies, Caltran's Department of 41 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.960 Wildlife and said anything on state land, you're gone. 42 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.680 We're clearing you out. And he said it used to be. 43 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.639 The cities would say, but the courts won't let us 44 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.159 because there are no shelter beds available, and we're trying 45 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:40.759 as hard as we can to build shelter beds. 46 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.599 He says, that's done. No more excuses. 47 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.879 You start cleaning out those encampments or now here's the ore. 48 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.319 What kind of power does Gaven Newsom have over La County. Well, 49 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.919 not really, except he says, if you don't do that, 50 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.240 if you don't clean out the encampments, you're not gonna 51 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.960 get state money. I'm not going to give you the 52 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.159 money that I'm giving you now to help you with 53 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.719 a homeless There's a billion dollars just in this year's 54 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.199 budget in California that goes to the cities and counties 55 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.560 to deal with homeless and he made it very specific. 56 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.159 If you don't do what I want you to do, 57 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.719 if I don't see real action, if I don't see 58 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.240 real determination to clear up this problem, you ain't getting 59 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.960 any money. 60 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.240 No money for you and figure it out on your own. 61 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:31.719 What do you do? 62 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.199 And I've said this homeless issue as long as people 63 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.680 can't afford to live in southern California, and it ain't 64 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.840 getting any easier. It's basically southern California in the Bay Area, 65 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.400 that's what we're talking about, which it's much stronger here 66 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:47.280 in southern California. 67 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.439 The problem and you see mayors. 68 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.800 I understand Stockton, I understand fres Tho, super conservative cities 69 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.039 that they've come down really hard. 70 00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:02.319 But how about San Francisco that has come down hard. 71 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.479 Now La County, you've got the mayor of La City 72 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.599 said we're not going to enforce. 73 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.159 La County. We're never going to enforce, which is. 74 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.400 Maybe one of the reasons La County is sixty thousand homeless. 75 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.199 I mean that is beyond that's just beyond comprehension. 76 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.360 There's so many homeless. 77 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.000 So now even in those places La County, the city, 78 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.959 the homeless, advocates, the workers are saying those encampments are 79 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.040 being cleared out pretty quickly. The police are much more aggressive, 80 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.639 and they don't have to worry about shelter beds being 81 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.480 available because grants Pass versus Johnson US Supreme Court said 82 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.399 that's off the table. 83 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.040 Just clean them out. 84 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.360 By the way, the question is, and those that are 85 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.439 on the street in the encampments, where do they go? 86 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.480 I've told you on the way home coming from the station, 87 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:57.720 I got off on a freeway off ramp and then 88 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.319 made a left underneath the over where the freeway went, 89 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.800 and under that overpass was from one end to the 90 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.959 other was this homeless encampment. 91 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:13.240 Tense. Just every inch of the covered overpass gone. 92 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.480 One day I come back, I come home and nothing 93 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.040 is there, just a bunch of trash, mounts of trash. 94 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.360 And the next day the trash is gone. So it 95 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.040 took them two days, one. 96 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.519 Get rid of the temps the people, and the other 97 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.839 one the trash goes out. There must have been eighty 98 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:35.600 one hundred people living there. Where did they go? Now, 99 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.360 I'm hoping they went to your neighborhood, because that works 100 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:48.519 for me. Does it work for you? And what is 101 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.600 the answer? And I've said this many many times, and 102 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.959 I think is absolutely true. Next year it'll be a 103 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.759 little better. The year after that, it'll be a little better. 104 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.160 The year after that, it'll be a little better. In 105 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.759 the analogy, assuming that the homeless population doesn't keep on rising, 106 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:05.600 which it has been. 107 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.399 And the analogy I make. 108 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.439 Remember, I used to be in the construction business, working 109 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.439 my way through law school. 110 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:12.800 I had a construction. 111 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:17.120 Business, which I failed miserably at is when they passed 112 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:22.920 the law regarding wooden shakes, the wooden roofs, and the 113 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.240 law was passed saying no more wooden shakes. They have 114 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.079 to be asphalt, they have to be concrete, they have 115 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.040 to be tile. You cannot use wood anymore to make roofs. 116 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.160 You know, the woodshakes, And I said, oh, so what 117 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.079 everybody has a wood shake took thirty years, because that's 118 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.360 the life span of a roof. They don't make that. 119 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.800 You won't see one in the city of la anymore. 120 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.240 The roofs are all gone. Anytime they had to be replaced, 121 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:52.000 they replaced it with a fireproof roof and it's completely changed. 122 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:52.759 Took a generation. 123 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.959 And I think the same thing is going to happen 124 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.319 here dealing with the homeless. We're going to add a 125 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.800 shelter bed a couple hundred next year, and maybe four 126 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.319 hundred a year after that, and before you know it, 127 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.759 you turn around and fifty years later you have enough 128 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.160 shelter beds, assuming that the homeless. 129 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.560 Population doesn't increase like crazy. 130 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.120 And as of right now, the homeless population has outpaced 131 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.879 the money and the beds that are being put up. 132 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.199 I've said this many times. I think it's absolutely true. 133 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.680 America is truly the great Land of opportunity. It is 134 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.160 an amazing country. It's just a rough place to be 135 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.879 poor in. This is not a good place to be 136 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.519 poor in America, particularly here in southern California. A story 137 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:43.720 about electricity and electrical rates, and this is not a 138 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.959 story about solar, although by these days, I don't know 139 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.079 who is not. 140 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.839 Putting solar in because it's crazy. 141 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.480 You know, I moved to the most expensive utility in 142 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:54.519 the United States. 143 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.160 Yeah, can't wait. Well, I'm gonna throw a couple figures 144 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.240 out at you that you're going to to go. Come on, really, 145 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:02.279 all right? 146 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.600 We go up near the salt and Sea. There are 147 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.360 plans to build a data center to support AI. It's 148 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.519 going to cover fifteen football fields and it's going to 149 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.519 require power that would support four hundred and twenty five 150 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:21.720 thousand homes. Santa Clara, right in the heart of Silicon Valley. 151 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.959 Electric rates are rising like crazy. Why because the utility 152 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.560 is spending on transmission lines infrastructure to accommodate the demand, 153 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.879 the power demand from fifty data centers, which now consume 154 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:41.559 sixty percent of the city's electricity. The entire city of 155 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.759 Santa Clara, sixty percent of the electricity is used by 156 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.919 the data centers, not the people, not the industry, none 157 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.759 of it, all right, So why is that? Well, because 158 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:02.440 the power needed toize the internet those servers, and they 159 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.720 keep on adding because the Internet is getting bigger and 160 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.399 bigger by the second, so need more data centers by 161 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:14.159 the second. Well, they consume unbelievable amounts of electricity PG 162 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.639 and E told its investors that we're gonna have we're 163 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.759 gonna need two dozen more data centers, which is going 164 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.120 to require three point five gigawatts. 165 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.200 What does that mean? How about this one? 166 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:33.159 The output of three new nuclear reactors and nuke's power 167 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.879 hundreds of thousands. 168 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.440 Of homes and this is going to be the equivalent. 169 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:40.399 Of three of them that have to be built. That 170 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.000 is scary stuff. And I'll tell you something else. Okay, 171 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:48.200 this one is as I looked at this figure, I 172 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.960 went really just to give you an idea of what's 173 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.240 going on with the power that's necessary and how that's 174 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.120 going to change everything is as follows. 175 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.919 You've got chat GPT powered search. 176 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.080 Now, when you do a normal AI or when you 177 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.519 do a not AI. When you do in normal search, 178 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.039 for example on Google without AI, you use a ton 179 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.559 of a ton of power. I mean, there's no question 180 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:22.720 that search causes the data center to create and use. 181 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.080 Power to give you the information. 182 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.159 An AI search, for example, a chat GPT powered search 183 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.759 that uses ten times more power. 184 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.600 Because it sweeps the Internet. 185 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.080 And it comes up with the algorithm that produces the 186 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.120 answer and figures out. As you know, we've talked about AI, 187 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.840 but it's there's a lot of complicated technology and it 188 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.279 sucks up power. 189 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.000 Are one of the experts. 190 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.679 There's an associate professor of Let's Computing Engineering at U 191 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.039 SEE Riverside, Shalai Wren. He calculated the global use of 192 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:10.240 AI is going to require as much fresh water because 193 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:15.919 that cools reactors and that cools electrical systems. In twenty 194 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.440 twenty seven, now used by four to six countries the 195 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:25.039 size of Denmark. I mean we are talking a scale 196 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:32.720 that is astronomical. Silicon Valley is the world's epicenter of AI. 197 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.799 Some of the biggest developers are headquartered. 198 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.960 They are Alphabet, Apple, Meta, open Ai, the people created 199 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.279 chat GPTs in San Francisco, Navidia, the maker of the 200 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:52.399 chips needed for AI that operates from Santa Clara, and 201 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.240 the big tech companies and they of course are throwing 202 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:57.840 money into AI. 203 00:11:59.039 --> 00:11:59.559 All the talk. 204 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.080 About micros, Amazon, I mean all of them are spending 205 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.000 billions to build new data centers around the world, and 206 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.639 it sucks up energy to the point where Diabolo Canyon, 207 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:17.480 the nuclear the last nuclear plant in California, they had 208 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.799 to extend its life more so than it was originally 209 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.840 called for. The fossil fuel plants that are supposed to 210 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:32.639 be replaced, No, they're not going to be replaced anytime soon, 211 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.759 because they need them. We desperately need them. And so 212 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:42.919 one of the real costs well, is just using the Internet. 213 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.840 And we have to look at not just the security 214 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.600 issues of the Internet and cybercrime, but simply the amount 215 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:57.519 of energy it's going to cost us. Goldman Sachs, one 216 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.480 of the big financial institutions, has analysts up the Yinnan. 217 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.600 They estimate that by twenty thirty six years from now. 218 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:15.320 The demand for AI and the Internet and the data 219 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:19.639 centers could be as much as eleven percent of the 220 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:24.320 entire US power demand, just the data centers. It's now 221 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.720 three percent, by the way, it's still huge. So the 222 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:33.080 biggest concentration basically in the world of these data centers 223 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.159 happens to be in Santa Clara. 224 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.639 Why well, let's start with. 225 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.759 Electric rates or forty percent lower than those charged by PGE. 226 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.440 And let me tell you what these This is where 227 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.720 money really counts when you can go into utility with 228 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:53.960 your lobbyists and truly promote your position. The more electricity 229 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:59.120 we use as consumers, the more it costs, because we 230 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:02.559 have that tear systm them and first chier. You have 231 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.159 a certain amount of money you pay, you go into 232 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.679 second tier, it gets more expensive, the third tier. 233 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:07.799 It gets really expensive. 234 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:10.519 And that's one of the reasons why people buy solar 235 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.320 all the time. And we used to be told to 236 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.440 use your all your appliances at night. Now is to 237 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.639 the day because we're using all the soul, we're getting 238 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.519 all the solar energy. Okay, So the premise is the 239 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.159 more electricity we use as consumers, the more it costs. 240 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:32.399 With these data centers, electricity that they use is based 241 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.759 on volume. That's what they pay volume of electricity use. 242 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:42.360 The more they use, the cheaper it is. So they 243 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:46.519 have all the incentive in the world to build and 244 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.039 build and build, because what is one of the most expensive, 245 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.440 if not the most expensive part of running those data 246 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:57.480 centers electricity, what it costs to actually run those centers. 247 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:01.279 I mean, once you've invested, that's a capital investment. Okay, 248 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.240 you're sort of done. You put the building up you've 249 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.000 built the computer systems. I mean they have to be 250 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:11.960 replaced every few years. But the electric bill comes due 251 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.320 every month, so let's use a ton of it. So 252 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.240 just keep on using AI, which we're all going to do, 253 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.200 and be prepared to pay for it with your electric bills, 254 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.600 because who ends up paying for it? 255 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.200 We do, of course, we do, consumers. 256 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.279 Okay, enough of that, now, let's move over to the 257 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.039 decline of America's public schools. 258 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.840 You remember as a kid you maybe still do your children. No, 259 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.159 they don't go to public pools. I got one word 260 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:44.399 for it. 261 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.240 And this is based out of a study that was 262 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.919 just done, an analysis of public pools all over the. 263 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:55.960 Country, and it is entitled cooties. That's it. 264 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:04.320 Cooties Why because they're public pools, that's why. And frankly, 265 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.320 we're not into sharing our pools. 266 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.240 We used to didn't care. Now it's a different story. 267 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.000 Now people are actually upset that people pee in public 268 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.120 schools pools. 269 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.240 By the way, how could you. 270 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.879 Go swimming in a public pool and not pee. I've 271 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.200 never understood that. I mean, that's what they're for, isn't it. 272 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.360 And I used to go like crazy my kids, Uh uh, 273 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.519 no way and why are there fewer public pools out there. Well, 274 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.919 one of them is exactly that the other one is 275 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.639 well because also we are just not as close. We 276 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.720 don't Americans are not really good about living, you know, 277 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.720 bumper to bumper. 278 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.159 We just don't like it. No, we like our. 279 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.360 Buildings right, like our houses apart. We just we have 280 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.840 personal space. That's very different. I mean, the Japanese are 281 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.240 on top of each other and that's their culture. Americans 282 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.360 are not far less than anyone else. 283 00:16:59.279 --> 00:16:59.960 And the problem is. 284 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:06.720 Temperatures are soaring like crazy, and public schools. Not only 285 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.480 are public pools are not only not being built, they're 286 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:12.799 not being maintained. Because this is let's kick the can 287 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:17.559 down the road. When someone is elected to office, they 288 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.240 rarely run on. We have to maintain our infrastructure, and 289 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.640 that sort of doesn't do it. So maintenance is simply 290 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.119 not done, which is why our roads are falling apart. 291 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.440 Which is why our water systems LA for example, it 292 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.680 was built over one hundred years ago. The lifespan of 293 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.640 that water system is one hundred years or past the lifespan, 294 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.480 which is why we get these cracks and we have 295 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.000 these water leaks and water spouts and geysers of water 296 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.279 all the time, and the public pools are the same thing. 297 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.599 Now, is there a future for public pools. Probably, And 298 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.359 here's why. 299 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:01.720 Because politicians are city councils, particularly because public school pools 300 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.880 are part of the city or a part of the 301 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:09.160 city infrastructure, they are now being looked at not as recreational, 302 00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:14.519 which of course they are, but as part of dealing 303 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:20.680 with climate change and are necessary for people. It's almost 304 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:25.400 like cooling centers where they become necessary because temperatures have 305 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:29.720 gone up and up, and people, particularly in the inner city, 306 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.559 don't have any place to go, and so public schools 307 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.039 or public pools simply seems to be the answer. But 308 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.599 here we go back to racism because when the public 309 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.480 pools really became public, and we're talking in the twenties 310 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:50.720 and thirties, as part of the depression, and FDR established 311 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.799 established the program during the depression of building the public 312 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.920 Works Administration, etc. 313 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.599 Public pools, city pools were built. That was part of it. 314 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.640 And then you had the de segregation cases. And by 315 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.640 the way, it was all racism in those days cities. 316 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.319 You know, black people didn't mix with white people, or 317 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:10.880 more the other way, white people. 318 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.920 Didn't mix with black people. So what ended up happening. 319 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.279 By the time the fifties and sixties came around, private 320 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.160 swim clubs came around. 321 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.880 They weren't building public pools anymore. 322 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:27.519 Private swim clubs went from well, nineteen fifty two there 323 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:31.359 were twelve hundred of them around the country. Twelve years 324 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:37.559 later there were twenty three thousand of them. Racism seems 325 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.359 to rear its ugly head, and did so particularly in 326 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:42.480 public pools. 327 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.480 And I remember as a kid and I sweat. 328 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.480 Burbank had a great I don't know if it's still there, 329 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.519 the Burbank pool, the public pool, it was phenomenal. I 330 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:55.759 used to go there all the time, drive there from 331 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.440 North Hollywood. 332 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:57.720 It was just a great pool. 333 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.599 If I remember the there weren't too many African Americans, 334 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.640 but the valley didn't have too many African Americans at 335 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.519 that time, and I was fine swim around. Got all 336 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.559 those diseases, the kooties, you could see the amiba's floating 337 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:16.279 floating on the water, just all kinds of disgusting diseases, 338 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:21.799 open sorees. People had shankers, superating puss filled shankers that 339 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:23.240 you would swim in. 340 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.440 I'm pretty sure, you brought some of your own. 341 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.799 Absolutely, you know what built when I was growing. 342 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.599 Up because we were broke, We didn't have any money, 343 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.000 and my mom didn't put in a dough boy pool 344 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.799 until I was, you know, ared eighteen or whatever. Probably 345 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:40.480 we went to the local high schools. The high schools 346 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.880 would open during the summer and that was the public pool. 347 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.440 We didn't have a designated public pool. It was the 348 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:51.400 high schools that would open up to the public. And 349 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.599 I don't know if you had to pay or whatever, 350 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:54.759 but you could. 351 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.880 Come in and use those. 352 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.119 And those have to be maintained because they use them 353 00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.920 for water polo. 354 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:00.960 Yeah, of course, you know. 355 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.640 And can you find out if the public school in 356 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.359 Burbank is a public pool. 357 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:06.640 I keep on saying public school. 358 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.759 The public pool in Burbank is still there, because I 359 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.799 remember it was one of the best pools out there. 360 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:16.079 I also used to go to Norwalk because they had 361 00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:19.200 a public pool that was phenomenal with the diving platform 362 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.279 because I used to jump into the water and I 363 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.839 would always try a cannonball in the water and I 364 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.920 was a pretty heavy set kid, and that was another 365 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.160 one you know that I enjoyed doing. All right, now, 366 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:31.759 how often? And I'm told about that, and I asked 367 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:33.559 this question. I'm asked this question all the time I 368 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.079 handle on the law bill. My information has been hacked? 369 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:40.319 What can I do about it? All right?
