Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: A lot on the agenda today for President Trump. He
Speaker 2: has already greeted the Los Angeles Dodgers, honoring them for
Speaker 2: their World Series win.
Speaker 3: From last year. They got a little tour of the
Speaker 3: Oval office.
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershop presented him with a Trump forty seven jersey.
Speaker 2: Then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett Yahoo is also in town.
Speaker 2: The expectation is they're going to hold a news conference
Speaker 2: a short time from now. I think it's probably about
Speaker 2: eleven thirty is when we're going to see some of that.
Speaker 2: But obviously tariffs are going to be a big issue
Speaker 2: that they talk about. Of course, Israel was one of
Speaker 2: those countries that was hit with an import late levy
Speaker 2: as a result of this, although they have said that
Speaker 2: they would be willing to negotiate of the war in
Speaker 2: Gaza's back on again.
Speaker 3: That's going to be a topic.
Speaker 1: So are you feeling a headache? Are you feeling have
Speaker 1: you been coughing? How's the old abdominal area? How's your
Speaker 1: temperature hot?
Speaker 3: Cold?
Speaker 1: And norm normoush normish. Have you been You were in
Speaker 1: mammoth right recently? Was the beginning of Were you exposed
Speaker 1: to urine when you were there?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, he did urinate other other your other people's,
Speaker 2: other people.
Speaker 3: Are there other things? Doubt it. They urinate that.
Speaker 1: Droppings of saliva. Did you get into any of that?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, questionnaire is over.
Speaker 1: So we talked with the death of Gene Hackman and
Speaker 1: his wife about this whole rodent born virus threat. Apparently
Speaker 1: in New Mexico it's a thing because of the environment
Speaker 1: and what have you. It's a apparently a thing hantavirus, hantavirus,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, and mammoth as well.
Speaker 1: In fact, three people have died from this, and health
Speaker 1: officials say that it's very rare to have three deaths
Speaker 1: like that at this time of year.
Speaker 3: Well it's rare.
Speaker 2: I mean, hantavirus itself is pretty rare, and there have
Speaker 2: been those fewer than one hundred residents in the state
Speaker 2: diagnosed with hantavirus since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3: There was an outbreak.
Speaker 2: This is what I remember because I was in college
Speaker 2: and there was a concern that it was happening on
Speaker 2: the Four Corners region New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah.
Speaker 3: That area specifically.
Speaker 2: Represented the first confirm instances of the haunt of virus
Speaker 2: endemic to the Americas that could cause disease. Following the outbreak,
Speaker 2: they described this as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and I remembered
Speaker 2: it because there were so many warnings that were put
Speaker 2: out in California, and again these cases weren't even in California,
Speaker 2: but there were places that geographically mirrored that location, and
Speaker 2: they said, there could be problems here because we have
Speaker 2: some of the same rodents, we have some of the
Speaker 2: same conditions, and you can't, for example, be careful when
Speaker 2: you're sweeping out your cabin or something like that from
Speaker 2: the winter, because this is how you disturb the haunt
Speaker 2: of virus tainted droppings of these rodents, and then it
Speaker 2: gets in your lungs and then you're sick.
Speaker 3: Health of visuals.
Speaker 1: Believe that a boom and the deer mouse population may
Speaker 1: be to blame. I'm gonna throw this out there. Squirrels,
Speaker 1: what about them? Squirrels carry this and we all know.
Speaker 1: Let me believe my eyes and my ears when I
Speaker 1: say that squirrels have become out of control.
Speaker 3: Their behavior, their bravery, their courage.
Speaker 2: Their readencourage make it sound like they're positive qualities.
Speaker 3: And I think you mean in the negative way. They're pretentious.
Speaker 3: They think that they they think you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're precocious was the word I was looking for.
Speaker 1: They think that I want them, and they think I
Speaker 1: want them in my life and I don't. They think
Speaker 1: they that you want them to live outside with you
Speaker 1: on your deck and eat with you, and you don't.
Speaker 1: They are aggressive, They're more aggressive. They've become more aggressive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's more of them. I see them everywhere.
Speaker 3: Are you seeing them at home?
Speaker 1: Or you talking about seeing I haven't seen this guy
Speaker 1: in a long time. I think he is gone.
Speaker 3: He has left us. He got rabies and died from it.
Speaker 3: Probably he clearly had rabies us. No, he's dead. I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure he's dead.
Speaker 1: All those squirrels live a very long time, and we
Speaker 1: learn that they learn like they live like eighteen twenty years.
Speaker 3: Squirrels do, right, I think, so did we learn that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But uh, I think I don't think it's a mouse.
Speaker 3: I think it's these crazy ass squirrels.
Speaker 1: I think it's perfectly normal to just come up with
Speaker 1: you and like like they're no longer just like hunting
Speaker 1: for nuts or hiding their nuts in your planter boxes.
Speaker 1: They're like trying to live amongst us. And I bet
Speaker 1: those little those those those little roadents are spreading this
Speaker 1: thing well. But here's the thing, the squirrels we're dealing
Speaker 1: with in New Mexico.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that we're that makes this unusual.
Speaker 2: And that's what doctor tom Boo, the Mono County Public
Speaker 2: Health officer, says. The timing and the circumstances are atypical
Speaker 2: because you're not going to see a lot of those
Speaker 2: mice rolling around or definitely not squirrels rolling around this
Speaker 2: time of year in the Mono Lakes area or or
Speaker 2: Mammoth Lakes area because there's snow on the ground. They
Speaker 2: don't get out and party like they would in the
Speaker 2: late spring early summer, which is much more common for
Speaker 2: these but.
Speaker 3: With climate change, no, but yeah, but it's still cold
Speaker 3: up there. It's still I've.
Speaker 1: Seen squirrels in the cold. Here's the thing. You think
Speaker 1: it's the flu? Is the other thing? Fatigue, fever, muscle eggs, headaches, disneyness, chills,
Speaker 1: all of that, and then you just die. About one
Speaker 1: in three people who contact the virus die.
Speaker 2: Air out your spaces. That's one of the things that
Speaker 2: doctor Boo says is air out your space.
Speaker 3: Doctor Boo, I just told you. He's the Mono County
Speaker 3: Public Health Office. Sorry, I was a catastrophized.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: Is that the right word? Yes, you did. You nailed it.
Speaker 3: They said.
Speaker 2: The incubation period following a haunt virus infection usually last
Speaker 2: weeks and begins as flu like symptoms.
Speaker 3: You mentioned all of those things that cant to you
Speaker 3: and then die and then death.
Speaker 2: In the summer of twenty twelve, three visitors to Yosemite
Speaker 2: died from an outbreak of hantavirus. They stayed squirrels up
Speaker 2: there in Curry Village.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my husband's going to go stay in one of
Speaker 1: those in a couple of weeks, is he really?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where he stays up there.
Speaker 2: Ten cabins crack the window when he starts sweeping out
Speaker 2: the old uh mouse poop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want him to survive. I don't know
Speaker 3: how the things are going at home right. Well, it's
Speaker 3: day to day, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Today I may want him to survive the Unta virus tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I may not. I don't know. You know how marriage is. Yep,
Speaker 3: you rushed to pick you up after you fell on
Speaker 3: the ground. He just left me there, are you kidding?
Speaker 3: He's like looking around, like do do?
Speaker 2: Which would I suppose it's better than laughing, Like pointing
Speaker 2: and laughing would have been better.
Speaker 1: When they ignore it, then it's like you don't want
Speaker 1: to embarrass the old person who fell down. If you're
Speaker 1: young and spry and you fall, it's funny. Hah, you
Speaker 1: fell down. If you're legit of falling age, no one
Speaker 1: laughs at you. The last time you laughed at an
Speaker 1: old person falling down. You don't do that. Young people,
Speaker 1: you get the laughter. Old mother in law was in
Speaker 1: town a week and a half ago. She fell down
Speaker 1: and laughed. No did she fall down?
Speaker 3: No she did not. Oh that I saw she may have.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wasn't home all the time, but it was not
Speaker 2: announced that she fell down. But if she did, that
Speaker 2: would have been pretty funny. That is not true. That
Speaker 2: would not have been funny at all.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to be in the tent cabin. Dian
Speaker 1: of the rodent droppings.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: Am six forty.
Speaker 2: We are watching what's going on in the White House
Speaker 2: with a little bit of a head scratching going on.
Speaker 2: Benjaminett and Yaho, Israeli Prime Minister is at the White
Speaker 2: House and is meeting with President Trump. The White House
Speaker 2: just announced though a short time ago, that there will
Speaker 2: not be a news conference, and we don't know why.
Speaker 2: The last time this happened was, of course, when President
Speaker 2: Zelenski of Ukraine was at the White House for a
Speaker 2: meeting and the joint news conference was called off because
Speaker 2: we saw how that went in the Oval Office and
Speaker 2: it wasn't great. I don't know what the reasoning is
Speaker 2: for the calling off of the news conference with Benjamin
Speaker 2: and Yahoo and President Trump, so something to keep our
Speaker 2: eyes on. Of course, they're dealing with everything that's been
Speaker 2: going on with the tariffs. President Trump, earlier today on
Speaker 2: Truth Social said the United States has a chance to
Speaker 2: do something that should have been done decades ago. Don't
Speaker 2: be weak, don't be stupid, don't be a pannikin oh
Speaker 2: which is a new again. He's writing a new party
Speaker 2: based on weak and stupid people. He said, be strong, courageous,
Speaker 2: and patient, and greatness will be the result.
Speaker 3: Stay the course, Stay the course.
Speaker 1: Opening statements begin today in a case that we have
Speaker 1: followed since we got wind of it, the Doomsday Mom.
Speaker 3: Remember this. This is going on in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Lori Valoda Bell accused of conspiring to kill her fourth husband,
Speaker 1: and she was found guilty in Idaho in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three of murdering her two kids and conspiring to murder
Speaker 1: her husband's first wife.
Speaker 3: That story is just so wild every time we tell it.
Speaker 1: With this pretty woman who's got these bodies piled up
Speaker 1: behind her, and you.
Speaker 3: Know, we've even seen them.
Speaker 1: We've even seen bodycam footage of cops talking to her
Speaker 1: on the scene of one of these bodies that found
Speaker 1: itself in front of her. And you can see how
Speaker 1: deferential the cops are to her despite her being on
Speaker 1: the scene of a dead body, and just there's no
Speaker 1: way she could have anything to do with it.
Speaker 3: Look at her, She's this.
Speaker 1: Cute, young, petite blonde mom that she wouldn't be a suspect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's how she operated for years under that umbrella,
Speaker 1: and she killed her kids, a couple husbands. I think
Speaker 1: there's a brother in there, an ex wife.
Speaker 2: In subsequent interviews, you can tell she's her feet do
Speaker 2: not touch the earth. She is not there there, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: And it's pretty clear in some of those.
Speaker 3: Well, and that's her whole thing, right.
Speaker 1: She was the doomsday person who hooked up with a
Speaker 1: number another doomsday person and thought that Satan had taken
Speaker 1: over her children, which is why she killed them.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just odd.
Speaker 1: She's like one of the perfect cases of when crazy
Speaker 1: doesn't present itself.
Speaker 3: We all think about.
Speaker 1: Crazy people, and we think of crazy presents itself as crazy.
Speaker 1: It looks crazy, you know it when you see it.
Speaker 1: But she is one of those people. And you know
Speaker 1: the proof is in all those bodycam interviews. It's like
Speaker 1: she doesn't appear. I mean, once you start listen really
Speaker 1: listening to her, you're like, eh, there's a few beers
Speaker 1: short of a six pack here, but she doesn't look crazy.
Speaker 1: And those are the most dangerous people. Yeah, Like what, like,
Speaker 1: you could have killed four people this weekend and look
Speaker 1: at you, all normal, mister normal pants.
Speaker 3: I'll never know.
Speaker 2: I'll never know floating down the Brazos River right now.
Speaker 2: I would have taken them to Lake Lake Waco anyway,
Speaker 2: it's better hiding spots. The State Water Resources Control Board
Speaker 2: here in California's begun holding a series of hearings on
Speaker 2: a petition by Governor Newsom to amend water rights permits
Speaker 2: so that flows can be diverted from new points on
Speaker 2: the Sacramento River where the intake of a forty five
Speaker 2: mile Delta tunnel would be built.
Speaker 1: You know, Gavin Newsom has done a couple things that
Speaker 1: I've agreed with, and I don't remember what all of
Speaker 1: them are. One of them was that he sat down
Speaker 1: or he was going to sit down with Republicans for
Speaker 1: his podcast and kind of talk about differences, and I
Speaker 1: thought that was a great idea. He did something else
Speaker 1: recently where I thought it was a really good idea,
Speaker 1: and now I can't remember what it was.
Speaker 3: It's really I should you it start. I should start
Speaker 3: writing this stuff down.
Speaker 1: But he has done a couple things as he gets
Speaker 1: ready to continue running for president and move to the
Speaker 1: middle that makes sense.
Speaker 3: And this is one of them.
Speaker 1: Yes, we should find a way to bring the water down,
Speaker 1: but the fact that we haven't goes back to the
Speaker 1: Delta smelt and all the things that President Trump talked
Speaker 1: about with John Cobalt when they had that interview. This
Speaker 1: is called the Delta Conveyance Projects, right, that's Sexy's name.
Speaker 2: The state needs to build new infrastructure in the Delta
Speaker 2: to protect the water supply, they say, because of climate
Speaker 2: change and earthquake risks. A bunch of the big water
Speaker 2: agencies here in Southern California, including the Metropolitan Water District
Speaker 2: Southern California, support this idea because and I should say
Speaker 2: they support it by giving some of the money originally
Speaker 2: for the planning work. I mean, just a couple of
Speaker 2: months ago, the Metropolitan Water District voted to spend one
Speaker 2: hundred and forty two million dollars for some of the
Speaker 2: original planning work. Now, they obviously deliver millions of gallons
Speaker 2: of water, you know, to millions of people, But the
Speaker 2: Metropolitan Water District probably won't even side whether to invest
Speaker 2: in the building of the tunnel until twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: So this is still one of those things that's a
Speaker 2: decade out. It should have been done three decades ago.
Speaker 2: Opponents of this plan, especially those that are in northern
Speaker 2: California and they like their water to stay there. Environmental
Speaker 2: advocates are against it native tribes. They say that this
Speaker 2: is an expensive boondoggle that would actually harm the environment.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they care about the environment. I
Speaker 1: feel like we need to follow the money here. I mean,
Speaker 1: this has been something that governors have failed to get
Speaker 1: over the finish line. Schwarzenegger wanted it, Jerry Brown wanted it.
Speaker 1: Everyone realizes the water problem in California that exists, But
Speaker 1: there's got to be the money that's held up somewhere.
Speaker 1: And it could be absolutely the Native American poll here.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's gotta be a reason other
Speaker 1: than the delta smelt. I just think that that is
Speaker 1: grade A blown but not even the kind of blowning
Speaker 1: You and I we eat the real bad stuff, expired
Speaker 1: stuff with the little knots and you don't know what
Speaker 1: that is whatever.
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna if you're gonna pick a cause
Speaker 2: to rally people in California behind, that's gonna be your
Speaker 2: bigger that's gonna be a bigger poll.
Speaker 1: I think for people, it's not like you said, it's
Speaker 1: not sexy. Yeah, I mean every time we talk about water,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, But it's so important and
Speaker 1: it's it's and I guess that's why it's not politically
Speaker 1: savvy to dive into this argument because it's not sexy.
Speaker 3: But it's it's it's it's literally the only thing we
Speaker 3: need in this life is water, and I mean it doesn't.
Speaker 2: It doesn't generate the excitement exactly until all of it.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna get it.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna get voters to the poles unless it's
Speaker 1: brown water like in Flint.
Speaker 6: Late three year old early four year old notorious South
Speaker 6: Africa mom driving me around in the rain looking for
Speaker 6: little fairies flying around flowers because they come out in
Speaker 6: the rain. So Nele say, I.
Speaker 1: Love that so much that his mom told him that
Speaker 1: fairies come out in the rain.
Speaker 3: I'd love that. That's very outsized reaction to that story.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, are you gonna start crying? All right?
Speaker 2: Let us know what is your earliest memory that you
Speaker 2: have super early, like two, three four.
Speaker 3: Something like that.
Speaker 1: Go on, you're not thinking about it little fairies like no, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll put that to bed with the puppets.
Speaker 3: I doubt it. I feel like it's going to come back,
Speaker 3: just like the puppets.
Speaker 2: Michael Monks, It's gonna join us let's talk about the
Speaker 2: the head of the LA Homeless Services Authority realized her
Speaker 2: days are numbered because she ain't going to get no money.
Speaker 3: We'll explain what's going on.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Live everywhere below the belt iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Dow Jones Industrial Average still down about three hundred points.
Speaker 2: It had a brief moment in positive territory earlier today,
Speaker 2: but it is down below zero once again, down two
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety.
Speaker 3: Two at this moment.
Speaker 2: The White House has announced that they're not going to
Speaker 2: do a news conference a joint news conference with Benjamin
Speaker 2: eett Yahu and President Trump taking questions, but that President
Speaker 2: Trump will be taking some questions. We assume that the
Speaker 2: tariffs in the fallout from the tariffs are going to
Speaker 2: be the main topic.
Speaker 1: So Michael Monks from KFI News has been on top
Speaker 1: of the homelessness issue four years now, and they are
Speaker 1: actually showing movement in downtown LA. Whether it's the judge
Speaker 1: who told Karen Bass and the County Board of Supervisors
Speaker 1: get your act together and start accounting for all this
Speaker 1: money the voters have approved for you to fix this
Speaker 1: or the heads that have rolled recently. One of the
Speaker 1: heads that is rolling is the LA Homeless Chief. She
Speaker 1: is resigning. Valechia Adams Kellum, the head of the LA
Speaker 1: Homeless Services Authority, announced her resignation on Friday. Why well,
Speaker 1: the County Board of Supervisors decided to say, you have
Speaker 1: no clothes emperor. They strepped her agency of more than
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars and took away hundreds of workers.
Speaker 1: Michael's on this and we see this coming, Michael, what's
Speaker 1: going on? Where did she run a foul?
Speaker 4: The writing was on the wall, not just for her,
Speaker 4: but maybe for LASA overall. Last week was probably the
Speaker 4: most consequential week in the history of fighting homelessness in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles in quite some time, because it all fell apart.
Speaker 3: As you noted.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been years and years of spending billions
Speaker 4: and billions of dollars and seeing very limited, if any
Speaker 4: results at all. And so what happened last week. On Monday,
Speaker 4: the new half sent sales tax goes into effect. That's
Speaker 4: to spend a lot more money on homeless programs. On Tuesday,
Speaker 4: the LA County Board of Supervisors voted to leave LASA
Speaker 4: and create their own internal homeless department. Meanwhile, at City Hall,
Speaker 4: the city decided to scale back Mayor Bass's inside Safe program,
Speaker 4: denying her millions of dollars that she wanted. And then
Speaker 4: on Friday, Valicia Adams Kellum, the head of the LA
Speaker 4: Homeless Services Authority, said I'm out and it's probably the
Speaker 4: right decision because the agency she was brought into oversea
Speaker 4: is not going to be that agency anymore. By around
Speaker 4: this time next year, they'll have a lot fewer employees
Speaker 4: and hundreds of millions of dollars less than their account.
Speaker 2: She was also considered one of the architects of that
Speaker 2: Inside Safe program.
Speaker 4: Very close ally of Mayor Bass. Mayor Bass brought her
Speaker 4: end oversee this agency. This is an agency that is
Speaker 4: co governed by the county and the city.
Speaker 1: I think she's getting out before the fraud bomb.
Speaker 3: Strikes the froud moomb.
Speaker 1: Well, because inside Safe was at the heart of this whole, like, well.
Speaker 3: How are you spending your money?
Speaker 1: Remember, the mayor didn't want the city Controller to be
Speaker 1: in charge of the audit of inside Safe for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: and that's part of why the judge said you're doing
Speaker 1: it wrong. And now suddenly the person that Bass placed
Speaker 1: at the head of Inside Safe is cutting and running.
Speaker 3: I'm smelling something here.
Speaker 4: And you're right to suggest that there are a lot
Speaker 4: more eyeballs on this spending. It seems like the folks
Speaker 4: who were kind of letting it fly under the radar
Speaker 4: for a little while are now pulling up their pants,
Speaker 4: tucking in their shirts, and getting real serious about this money.
Speaker 4: And that's what I mean about the significant development at
Speaker 4: city Hall. They don't just write blank checks to the
Speaker 4: mayor's program anymore. They want to see the data, they
Speaker 4: want to see the results, they want to see the receipts.
Speaker 4: And it's all pushed by what happened two weeks ago
Speaker 4: when Judge David Carter said, y'all got to get it
Speaker 4: together because we.
Speaker 3: Are not getting the answers that we want.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you notice, but I'm a federal
Speaker 4: judge and I can make your life hell. And so
Speaker 4: he was in skid row in recent days with our
Speaker 4: new US Attorney Bill A. Saley, who was walking right
Speaker 4: alongside him. So you can tell that the Feds are
Speaker 4: getting real serious about this. The county has made a
Speaker 4: very significant change. We have to see how serious they
Speaker 4: are about it. And now the city is pulling up
Speaker 4: the rear and they're gonna have to figure out what
Speaker 4: they do next.
Speaker 3: What do we know about this new US attorney.
Speaker 4: Bill Saley, assembly member from Riverside County. He's been a
Speaker 4: guest on KFI many times.
Speaker 1: I was going to say his name sounds familiar, and
Speaker 1: I haven't done any research on it, but I mean,
Speaker 1: if you bring in a new US attorney to this
Speaker 1: district who has political aspirations and is looking to crucify people,
Speaker 1: this is a good place to start.
Speaker 4: It's going to be an interesting dynamic because this is
Speaker 4: obviously a liberal stronghold in general, but when there is
Speaker 4: a Republican president, you do end up with a Republican
Speaker 4: US attorney to be BILLI.
Speaker 3: Saley.
Speaker 4: This is more power than he has had in a
Speaker 4: long time. He's a very outspoken Republican lawmaker and has
Speaker 4: certainly highlighted his positions here on this station. But now
Speaker 4: he's kind of got some authority on his own here
Speaker 4: locally in the central district of California, so it's La County,
Speaker 4: Orange County, and I think he'll find a way to
Speaker 4: keep himself busy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's definitely ambitious Yeah, what happens to LASA
Speaker 3: if she leaves?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: What does I mean this is it appears to be
Speaker 2: sort of the beginning of the disintegration because without all
Speaker 2: the money that they were getting before, is there a
Speaker 2: place for LOASA to exist in any sort of capacity
Speaker 2: like it was previously?
Speaker 4: Even the county suggested that there would be a place
Speaker 4: for LASSA, primarily through the federal funding that is received
Speaker 4: to fight homelessness on the local level, and one of
Speaker 4: those primary functions is the simple task of counting the
Speaker 4: number of homeless people.
Speaker 3: And over the past couple of years, los has.
Speaker 4: Claimed there's been a little bit of a decline in
Speaker 4: the number of homeless people living on the streets, so
Speaker 4: they would still do that. But what is the organization
Speaker 4: if it's not La County anymore and it's just essentially
Speaker 4: an extension of the city's homeless efforts. That's yet to
Speaker 4: be seen and we have not seen any proposals emerge
Speaker 4: formally from the city.
Speaker 1: Michael, thank you, Thank you for staying on top of
Speaker 1: all of this and playing in the weeds and then
Speaker 1: bringing all of the things you found in the weeds
Speaker 1: to us and the dandelions. Is it raining are there
Speaker 1: fairies with the dandelions?
Speaker 3: I don't think so, what is happening? Oh?
Speaker 1: So do you have an earliest memory? Do you have
Speaker 1: an earliest memory?
Speaker 3: I think it also, I do, I do? Okay, what
Speaker 3: is it? Okay?
Speaker 4: So I'm a child, I'm walking running, young enough to run.
Speaker 3: And young enough to run enough. Well, the music starting,
Speaker 3: then I wanted to play to the mood. So I'm
Speaker 3: in the grass.
Speaker 4: I've got a diaper on sagging a little bit hm,
Speaker 4: and I'm running towards my mom.
Speaker 3: I'm holding a.
Speaker 4: Cookie chocolate chip and half of it breaks off as
Speaker 4: I'm running to my mother on the grass.
Speaker 3: And that is my earliest mind. What do you remember
Speaker 3: feeling in that moment that it was probably all going
Speaker 3: to go to hell after that, the whole life.
Speaker 4: Well, I remember running to my mom and that is
Speaker 4: a memory that sticks with me every time I've run
Speaker 4: back to her since, as recently as two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, you know, yeah, I live in LA. Can
Speaker 3: you send a check.
Speaker 1: I called my mom when I was having a mental
Speaker 1: breakdown and she said, I'm on the toilet and I said,
Speaker 1: why are you answering the phone?
