He 5 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.320 has already greeted the Los Angeles Dodgers, honoring them for 6 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:18.920 their World Series win. 7 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.440 From last year. They got a little tour of the 8 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:22.199 Oval office. 9 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.760 Clayton Kershop presented him with a Trump forty seven jersey. 10 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.280 Then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett Yahoo is also in town. 11 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.520 The expectation is they're going to hold a news conference 12 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.280 a short time from now. I think it's probably about 13 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.039 eleven thirty is when we're going to see some of that. 14 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.280 But obviously tariffs are going to be a big issue 15 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.719 that they talk about. Of course, Israel was one of 16 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.200 those countries that was hit with an import late levy 17 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.799 as a result of this, although they have said that 18 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.640 they would be willing to negotiate of the war in 19 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:54.119 Gaza's back on again. 20 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.079 That's going to be a topic. 21 00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:01.880 So are you feeling a headache?

Doubt it. They urinate that. 32 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.040 Droppings of saliva. Did you get into any of that? 33 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:39.760 Yes? 34 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:40.319 I did. 35 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.079 Okay, wait, questionnaire is over. 36 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.519 So we talked with the death of Gene Hackman and 37 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:55.519 his wife about this whole rodent born virus threat. Apparently 38 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.599 in New Mexico it's a thing because of the environment 39 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.840 and what have you. It's a apparently a thing hantavirus, hantavirus, 40 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.959 whatever you want to call it, and mammoth as well. 41 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.840 In fact, three people have died from this, and health 42 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.520 officials say that it's very rare to have three deaths 43 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:13.800 like that at this time of year. 44 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.639 Well it's rare. 45 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.520 I mean, hantavirus itself is pretty rare, and there have 46 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.919 been those fewer than one hundred residents in the state 47 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.800 diagnosed with hantavirus since nineteen eighty. 48 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:26.919 There was an outbreak. 49 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.280 This is what I remember because I was in college 50 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.159 and there was a concern that it was happening on 51 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.120 the Four Corners region New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah. 52 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.479 That area specifically. 53 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.479 Represented the first confirm instances of the haunt of virus 54 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.360 endemic to the Americas that could cause disease. Following the outbreak, 55 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.439 they described this as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and I remembered 56 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.280 it because there were so many warnings that were put 57 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.159 out in California, and again these cases weren't even in California, 58 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:10.719 but there were places that geographically mirrored that location, and 59 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.960 they said, there could be problems here because we have 60 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.719 some of the same rodents, we have some of the 61 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.599 same conditions, and you can't, for example, be careful when 62 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.879 you're sweeping out your cabin or something like that from 63 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.639 the winter, because this is how you disturb the haunt 64 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.520 of virus tainted droppings of these rodents, and then it 65 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.120 gets in your lungs and then you're sick. 66 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:34.159 Health of visuals. 67 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.120 Believe that a boom and the deer mouse population may 68 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:44.439 be to blame. I'm gonna throw this out there. Squirrels, 69 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.080 what about them? Squirrels carry this and we all know. 70 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.000 Let me believe my eyes and my ears when I 71 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.759 say that squirrels have become out of control. 72 00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.400 Their behavior, their bravery, their courage. 73 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.000 Their readencourage make it sound like they're positive qualities. 74 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.240 And I think you mean in the negative way. They're pretentious. 75 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.439 They think that they they think you want. 76 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.599 Yeah, they're precocious was the word I was looking for. 77 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.680 They think that I want them, and they think I 78 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.399 want them in my life and I don't. They think 79 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.720 they that you want them to live outside with you 80 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.560 on your deck and eat with you, and you don't. 81 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.519 They are aggressive, They're more aggressive. They've become more aggressive. Yeah, 82 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.079 there's more of them. I see them everywhere. 83 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.160 Are you seeing them at home? 84 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.680 Or you talking about seeing I haven't seen this guy 85 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.879 in a long time. I think he is gone. 86 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.319 He has left us. He got rabies and died from it. 87 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.160 Probably he clearly had rabies us. No, he's dead. I'm 88 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:46.959 pretty sure he's dead. 89 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.079 All those squirrels live a very long time, and we 90 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.079 learn that they learn like they live like eighteen twenty years. 91 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.079 Squirrels do, right, I think, so did we learn that? Yeah? 92 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.519 But uh, I think I don't think it's a mouse. 93 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.399 I think it's these crazy ass squirrels. 94 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.600 I think it's perfectly normal to just come up with 95 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.639 you and like like they're no longer just like hunting 96 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.439 for nuts or hiding their nuts in your planter boxes. 97 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.879 They're like trying to live amongst us. And I bet 98 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.600 those little those those those little roadents are spreading this 99 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.040 thing well. But here's the thing, the squirrels we're dealing 100 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:20.920 with in New Mexico. 101 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.600 Here's the thing that we're that makes this unusual. 102 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.360 And that's what doctor tom Boo, the Mono County Public 103 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.240 Health officer, says. The timing and the circumstances are atypical 104 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.680 because you're not going to see a lot of those 105 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.000 mice rolling around or definitely not squirrels rolling around this 106 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.319 time of year in the Mono Lakes area or or 107 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.360 Mammoth Lakes area because there's snow on the ground. They 108 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.720 don't get out and party like they would in the 109 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.439 late spring early summer, which is much more common for 110 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:56.000 these but. 111 00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.000 With climate change, no, but yeah, but it's still cold 112 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.040 up there. It's still I've. 113 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.879 Seen squirrels in the cold. Here's the thing. You think 114 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:12.199 it's the flu? Is the other thing? Fatigue, fever, muscle eggs, headaches, disneyness, chills, 115 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.199 all of that, and then you just die. About one 116 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.160 in three people who contact the virus die. 117 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.079 Air out your spaces. That's one of the things that 118 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.959 doctor Boo says is air out your space. 119 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.600 Doctor Boo, I just told you. He's the Mono County 120 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.360 Public Health Office. Sorry, I was a catastrophized. 121 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:32.759 I know. 122 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.439 Is that the right word? Yes, you did. You nailed it. 123 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:36.720 They said. 124 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.800 The incubation period following a haunt virus infection usually last 125 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.360 weeks and begins as flu like symptoms. 126 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.839 You mentioned all of those things that cant to you 127 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.279 and then die and then death. 128 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.079 In the summer of twenty twelve, three visitors to Yosemite 129 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.279 died from an outbreak of hantavirus. They stayed squirrels up 130 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.480 there in Curry Village. 131 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.399 Yeah, my husband's going to go stay in one of 132 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.800 those in a couple of weeks, is he really? 133 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.120 Yeah, that's where he stays up there. 134 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.240 Ten cabins crack the window when he starts sweeping out 135 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.319 the old uh mouse poop. 136 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.399 Yeah, if you want him to survive. I don't know 137 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.879 how the things are going at home right. Well, it's 138 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.120 day to day, you know what I mean. 139 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.240 Today I may want him to survive the Unta virus tomorrow. 140 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.360 I may not.

He just left me there, are you kidding? 143 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.839 He's like looking around, like do do? 144 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.319 Which would I suppose it's better than laughing, Like pointing 145 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.680 and laughing would have been better. 146 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.319 When they ignore it, then it's like you don't want 147 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.279 to embarrass the old person who fell down. If you're 148 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.639 young and spry and you fall, it's funny. Hah, you 149 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.000 fell down. If you're legit of falling age, no one 150 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.319 laughs at you. The last time you laughed at an 151 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.120 old person falling down. You don't do that. Young people, 152 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.000 you get the laughter. Old mother in law was in 153 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.800 town a week and a half ago.

But if she did, that 159 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.759 would have been pretty funny. That is not true. That 160 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:15.839 would not have been funny at all. 161 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.480 Now you're going to be in the tent cabin. Dian 162 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.040 of the rodent droppings. 163 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.759 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 164 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:27.879 Am six forty. 165 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.240 We are watching what's going on in the White House 166 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.879 with a little bit of a head scratching going on. 167 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.240 Benjaminett and Yaho, Israeli Prime Minister is at the White 168 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.919 House and is meeting with President Trump. The White House 169 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.000 just announced though a short time ago, that there will 170 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.120 not be a news conference, and we don't know why. 171 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.960 The last time this happened was, of course, when President 172 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.519 Zelenski of Ukraine was at the White House for a 173 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.480 meeting and the joint news conference was called off because 174 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.639 we saw how that went in the Oval Office and 175 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.200 it wasn't great. I don't know what the reasoning is 176 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.600 for the calling off of the news conference with Benjamin 177 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.399 and Yahoo and President Trump, so something to keep our 178 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.600 eyes on. Of course, they're dealing with everything that's been 179 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.480 going on with the tariffs. President Trump, earlier today on 180 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.200 Truth Social said the United States has a chance to 181 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.600 do something that should have been done decades ago. Don't 182 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.240 be weak, don't be stupid, don't be a pannikin oh 183 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.799 which is a new again. He's writing a new party 184 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:42.720 based on weak and stupid people. He said, be strong, courageous, 185 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.440 and patient, and greatness will be the result. 186 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.720 Stay the course, Stay the course. 187 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.960 Opening statements begin today in a case that we have 188 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.120 followed since we got wind of it, the Doomsday Mom. 189 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.320 Remember this. This is going on in Arizona. 190 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.000 Lori Valoda Bell accused of conspiring to kill her fourth husband, 191 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.840 and she was found guilty in Idaho in twenty twenty 192 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.919 three of murdering her two kids and conspiring to murder 193 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:07.440 her husband's first wife. 194 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.799 That story is just so wild every time we tell it. 195 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.960 With this pretty woman who's got these bodies piled up 196 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.200 behind her, and you. 197 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.279 Know, we've even seen them. 198 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.000 We've even seen bodycam footage of cops talking to her 199 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.759 on the scene of one of these bodies that found 200 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.759 itself in front of her. And you can see how 201 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.639 deferential the cops are to her despite her being on 202 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.960 the scene of a dead body, and just there's no 203 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.919 way she could have anything to do with it. 204 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:34.000 Look at her, She's this. 205 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:39.519 Cute, young, petite blonde mom that she wouldn't be a suspect. Yeah, 206 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.960 and that's how she operated for years under that umbrella, 207 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.679 and she killed her kids, a couple husbands. I think 208 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.720 there's a brother in there, an ex wife. 209 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.720 In subsequent interviews, you can tell she's her feet do 210 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:57.000 not touch the earth. She is not there there, no, no, no, 211 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.000 And it's pretty clear in some of those. 212 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.840 Well, and that's her whole thing, right. 213 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.799 She was the doomsday person who hooked up with a 214 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.840 number another doomsday person and thought that Satan had taken 215 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.159 over her children, which is why she killed them. 216 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.759 It's just it's just odd. 217 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.360 She's like one of the perfect cases of when crazy 218 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:15.519 doesn't present itself. 219 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.200 We all think about. 220 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.480 Crazy people, and we think of crazy presents itself as crazy. 221 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.879 It looks crazy, you know it when you see it. 222 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.240 But she is one of those people. And you know 223 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.639 the proof is in all those bodycam interviews. It's like 224 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.320 she doesn't appear. I mean, once you start listen really 225 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.639 listening to her, you're like, eh, there's a few beers 226 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.039 short of a six pack here, but she doesn't look crazy. 227 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.840 And those are the most dangerous people. Yeah, Like what, like, 228 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.639 you could have killed four people this weekend and look 229 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.759 at you, all normal, mister normal pants. 230 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.399 I'll never know. 231 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.320 I'll never know floating down the Brazos River right now. 232 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.000 I would have taken them to Lake Lake Waco anyway, 233 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:04.279 it's better hiding spots. The State Water Resources Control Board 234 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.879 here in California's begun holding a series of hearings on 235 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.480 a petition by Governor Newsom to amend water rights permits 236 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.440 so that flows can be diverted from new points on 237 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.240 the Sacramento River where the intake of a forty five 238 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.759 mile Delta tunnel would be built. 239 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.879 You know, Gavin Newsom has done a couple things that 240 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.759 I've agreed with, and I don't remember what all of 241 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.679 them are. One of them was that he sat down 242 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:34.679 or he was going to sit down with Republicans for 243 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:38.000 his podcast and kind of talk about differences, and I 244 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.559 thought that was a great idea. He did something else 245 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.759 recently where I thought it was a really good idea, 246 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.519 and now I can't remember what it was. 247 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.639 It's really I should you it start. I should start 248 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.600 writing this stuff down. 249 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.559 But he has done a couple things as he gets 250 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.159 ready to continue running for president and move to the 251 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.120 middle that makes sense. 252 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.159 And this is one of them. 253 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:02.480 Yes, we should find a way to bring the water down, 254 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.799 but the fact that we haven't goes back to the 255 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.600 Delta smelt and all the things that President Trump talked 256 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.159 about with John Cobalt when they had that interview. This 257 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:17.240 is called the Delta Conveyance Projects, right, that's Sexy's name. 258 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.159 The state needs to build new infrastructure in the Delta 259 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.759 to protect the water supply, they say, because of climate 260 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.960 change and earthquake risks. A bunch of the big water 261 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.240 agencies here in Southern California, including the Metropolitan Water District 262 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.000 Southern California, support this idea because and I should say 263 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.360 they support it by giving some of the money originally 264 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.799 for the planning work. I mean, just a couple of 265 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.559 months ago, the Metropolitan Water District voted to spend one 266 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:48.240 hundred and forty two million dollars for some of the 267 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:53.200 original planning work. Now, they obviously deliver millions of gallons 268 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:58.039 of water, you know, to millions of people, But the 269 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.039 Metropolitan Water District probably won't even side whether to invest 270 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.240 in the building of the tunnel until twenty twenty seven. 271 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:06.799 So this is still one of those things that's a 272 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.559 decade out. It should have been done three decades ago. 273 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.200 Opponents of this plan, especially those that are in northern 274 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.679 California and they like their water to stay there. Environmental 275 00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.240 advocates are against it native tribes. They say that this 276 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.840 is an expensive boondoggle that would actually harm the environment. 277 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.720 I don't know if they care about the environment. I 278 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.200 feel like we need to follow the money here. I mean, 279 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.600 this has been something that governors have failed to get 280 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.279 over the finish line. Schwarzenegger wanted it, Jerry Brown wanted it. 281 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.320 Everyone realizes the water problem in California that exists, But 282 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.399 there's got to be the money that's held up somewhere. 283 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:49.600 And it could be absolutely the Native American poll here. 284 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:55.759 I don't know, but there's gotta be a reason other 285 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.200 than the delta smelt. I just think that that is 286 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.080 grade A blown but not even the kind of blowning 287 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.519 You and I we eat the real bad stuff, expired 288 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.960 stuff with the little knots and you don't know what 289 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.480 that is whatever. 290 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.039 But if you're gonna if you're gonna pick a cause 291 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.720 to rally people in California behind, that's gonna be your 292 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.679 bigger that's gonna be a bigger poll. 293 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.559 I think for people, it's not like you said, it's 294 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.480 not sexy. Yeah, I mean every time we talk about water, 295 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.639 it's like, oh my god, But it's so important and 296 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.559 it's it's and I guess that's why it's not politically 297 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.279 savvy to dive into this argument because it's not sexy. 298 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.679 But it's it's it's it's literally the only thing we 299 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.600 need in this life is water, and I mean it doesn't. 300 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:44.639 It doesn't generate the excitement exactly until all of it. 301 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.320 It's not gonna get it. 302 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.679 It's not gonna get voters to the poles unless it's 303 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.639 brown water like in Flint. 304 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.159 Late three year old early four year old notorious South 305 00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:01.919 Africa mom driving me around in the rain looking for 306 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:08.279 little fairies flying around flowers because they come out in 307 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.840 the rain. So Nele say, I. 308 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.519 Love that so much that his mom told him that 309 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.039 fairies come out in the rain. 310 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:25.279 I'd love that. That's very outsized reaction to that story. 311 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.759 I'm sorry, are you gonna start crying? All right? 312 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.519 Let us know what is your earliest memory that you 313 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.159 have super early, like two, three four. 314 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:37.639 Something like that. 315 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:44.039 Go on, you're not thinking about it little fairies like no, okay, 316 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.000 I'll put that to bed with the puppets. 317 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:50.000 I doubt it. I feel like it's going to come back, 318 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.000 just like the puppets. 319 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.919 Michael Monks, It's gonna join us let's talk about the 320 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:02.159 the head of the LA Homeless Services Authority realized her 321 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.039 days are numbered because she ain't going to get no money. 322 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.480 We'll explain what's going on. 323 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.359 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 324 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.799 AM six forty. 325 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.160 Live everywhere below the belt iHeartRadio app. 326 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.799 Dow Jones Industrial Average still down about three hundred points. 327 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.640 It had a brief moment in positive territory earlier today, 328 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.480 but it is down below zero once again, down two 329 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.599 hundred and ninety. 330 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.599 Two at this moment. 331 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.480 The White House has announced that they're not going to 332 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.079 do a news conference a joint news conference with Benjamin 333 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.799 eett Yahu and President Trump taking questions, but that President 334 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.680 Trump will be taking some questions. We assume that the 335 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.680 tariffs in the fallout from the tariffs are going to 336 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.400 be the main topic. 337 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.400 So Michael Monks from KFI News has been on top 338 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:59.200 of the homelessness issue four years now, and they are 339 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.920 actually showing movement in downtown LA. Whether it's the judge 340 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.480 who told Karen Bass and the County Board of Supervisors 341 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:08.720 get your act together and start accounting for all this 342 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.920 money the voters have approved for you to fix this 343 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:16.200 or the heads that have rolled recently. One of the 344 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:20.880 heads that is rolling is the LA Homeless Chief. She 345 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.680 is resigning. Valechia Adams Kellum, the head of the LA 346 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:31.759 Homeless Services Authority, announced her resignation on Friday. Why well, 347 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:35.279 the County Board of Supervisors decided to say, you have 348 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.599 no clothes emperor. They strepped her agency of more than 349 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.000 three hundred million dollars and took away hundreds of workers. 350 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:46.039 Michael's on this and we see this coming, Michael, what's 351 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.240 going on? Where did she run a foul? 352 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.200 The writing was on the wall, not just for her, 353 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.960 but maybe for LASA overall. Last week was probably the 354 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.559 most consequential week in the history of fighting homelessness in 355 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.960 Los Angeles in quite some time, because it all fell apart. 356 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.799 As you noted. 357 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.160 I mean, it's been years and years of spending billions 358 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.680 and billions of dollars and seeing very limited, if any 359 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.160 results at all. And so what happened last week. On Monday, 360 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.640 the new half sent sales tax goes into effect. That's 361 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.720 to spend a lot more money on homeless programs. On Tuesday, 362 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:20.000 the LA County Board of Supervisors voted to leave LASA 363 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.519 and create their own internal homeless department. Meanwhile, at City Hall, 364 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.559 the city decided to scale back Mayor Bass's inside Safe program, 365 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.839 denying her millions of dollars that she wanted. And then 366 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.880 on Friday, Valicia Adams Kellum, the head of the LA 367 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.799 Homeless Services Authority, said I'm out and it's probably the 368 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.519 right decision because the agency she was brought into oversea 369 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:44.759 is not going to be that agency anymore. By around 370 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.799 this time next year, they'll have a lot fewer employees 371 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.000 and hundreds of millions of dollars less than their account. 372 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.240 She was also considered one of the architects of that 373 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.200 Inside Safe program. 374 00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.519 Very close ally of Mayor Bass. Mayor Bass brought her 375 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.720 end oversee this agency. This is an agency that is 376 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.680 co governed by the county and the city. 377 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.559 I think she's getting out before the fraud bomb. 378 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.079 Strikes the froud moomb. 379 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.519 Well, because inside Safe was at the heart of this whole, like, well. 380 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:14.839 How are you spending your money? 381 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:19.119 Remember, the mayor didn't want the city Controller to be 382 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.279 in charge of the audit of inside Safe for whatever reason, 383 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.200 and that's part of why the judge said you're doing 384 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:27.759 it wrong. And now suddenly the person that Bass placed 385 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.599 at the head of Inside Safe is cutting and running. 386 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.240 I'm smelling something here. 387 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:34.720 And you're right to suggest that there are a lot 388 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.519 more eyeballs on this spending. It seems like the folks 389 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:39.480 who were kind of letting it fly under the radar 390 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.680 for a little while are now pulling up their pants, 391 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.000 tucking in their shirts, and getting real serious about this money. 392 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.599 And that's what I mean about the significant development at 393 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.559 city Hall. They don't just write blank checks to the 394 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.680 mayor's program anymore. They want to see the data, they 395 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.160 want to see the results, they want to see the receipts. 396 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.480 And it's all pushed by what happened two weeks ago 397 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.000 when Judge David Carter said, y'all got to get it 398 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.440 together because we. 399 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.640 Are not getting the answers that we want. 400 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.039 I don't know if you notice, but I'm a federal 401 00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.759
