• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Well, last year there was like fifteen sixteen hundred people.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Let's double that. Let's pack the place. And there's lots
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: of food too.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is not the you know, crappy little
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Costco appetizer size appetizers that it's not. It's almost not
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: even worth at my Costco shoving the old Korean ladies
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: out of the way to get to the front of
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the line. This is going to be phenomenal. Okay, moving on,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Thank Jesus, Okay, you got it all right. As everybody knows.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Prop fifty passed overwhelmingly here in at California. I mean,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: we knew it was going to pass, we just didn't
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: know it was going to pass with these kinds of numbers.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: And there's all kinds of political issues on that one.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: But what I wanted to do was talk about the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: lawsuit that was filed because California Republicans literally only have
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: one way to go. They're not going to win this
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: one on the ballot. So what they have done, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of course is redistricting. It's enabling the state legislature to redistrict,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: to draw new congressional districts, moving in this case, more
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Democrats in various other areas and moving Republicans into one area,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: so that district, Okay, it's a Republican district, let's go
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: for the other ones. That's what redistricting does. There is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a commission that was created during Schwarzenegger's time and it
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: took redistricting and took it out of the hands of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the legislature because of the political considerations, and it put
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it into the hands of an independent commission.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: So what the Prop.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Fifty does is we're taking it back because it was
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: a direct challenge to what they did in Texas by
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: creating by redistricting, creating effectively five new Republican district especial
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: means five new congressional Congressional members of Congress Republican one.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And they Republicans want to stay in power and the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Democrats want to take it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: No surprise there, all right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So now the Prop fifty has been passed, what are
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the California Republicans doing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Well, they're looking for an excuse to shut it down.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And what they've done is file the federal lawsuit to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: block the imposition of Prop.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Fifty. Here is the basis of the lawsuit.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: This is the only one they have, and that is
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: that race is used as a factor to favor Hispanic voters.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So it's really not about Democrats and Republicans, it's about Hispanics.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It's about race, and that's why they are redistricting and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court is rule states may not without a compelling reason,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: backed by evidence that was in fact considered, that separate
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: citizens into different voting districts on the basis of race
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is allowed. Bottom line is, you can't redistrict based on race. Well, okay,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that's the argument. Hey, I've got a counter argument. How
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: about Hey, it has nothing to do with Hispanics. It
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: has to do with the Republicans and Democrats, the fact
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that Hispanics are part of these districts. So what it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: about politics, that's it, And what the Republicans are saying,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, it really doesn't have anything to do
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: with politics.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It really has to do with race.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Guess what, I don't think that's going to fly at all,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: not even close.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And so it's real simple.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, the states have the ability to create their
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: own districts because there's a state issue. Elections are controlled
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: by the states, and if there is any kind of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: reasonable reason for redistricting, the courts are going to have
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it happen. Now, if California were to pass Prop fifty
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and say that this is only about Hispanics, that's it,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that politics have nothing to do with it, that's the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: only way I think they would win. I think they're
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: going no place with this. So there it is. It's
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: over and Texas. And this was Texas doing it at
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the quote suggestion or some would say the order of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: President Trump in order to keep more Republicans in Congress.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And he's a Republican and I can see that. I mean,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you have I think a democratic president would do the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: same thing if the advantage I mean they have.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: The margin is razor thin.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's four or eight Congress people and it's
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: going to be well, based on what we're going to say,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about the midterms for between now and the midterms.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: There's so much.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, all of us browse the internet, right, I get
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a little bit of trouble when I browse the internet,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you know the various Well, I'm not going to get
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in there. Let's just say I do it for research
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: purposes only fair enough. Now, okay, let's talk about the Internet. Wow,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we don't talk about the Internet very much. And there
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: is a new law. It's a California law, but it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: gonna affect everybody in the country. I'll tell you why
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: in a second. And it literally changes the way that
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: we browse the Internet. And this is a privacy change.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Web browsers will be required under this new California law
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that Americans Californias. But therefore Americans are literally changing how
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: we control our data when using the Internet. Assembly Bill
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: five sixty six, signing a law by Newsome requires companies
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that make web browsers to offer users and opt out
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: signal that automatically tells websites not to share or to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: sell personal information. Now, if you don't have some kind
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of an opt out, and you just go on to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the Internet, and let's say you're searching whatever you're searching,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and for some reason this morning I was searching OJ
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Simpson and when he died and what happened, I don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: know why, but I did well. And I think I
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: use Safari well. Through Safari, they know who I am,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: what I'm doing. Why there's no such thing as privacy? Well,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: this tries for privacy, and it automatically with one toggle right,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: one click tells websites.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Not to share or sell personal information. Isn't already available?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, if you're coughing through with this, yeah, that is available.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Most browsers have that, but you have to go individually
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to each one. And if you're looking at several different
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: browsers and you're clicking through each one with the privacy
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of people are saying this is basically a pain in
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the ass that makes it difficult.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: This legislation.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the California Privacy Protection Agency, which is a
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: state agency, as well as several consumer groups that push
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: for this, that browsers like Google's Chrome, Microsoft's Edge have
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: until the beginning of twenty twenty seven. They have a
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: year to create a way for consumers to select that signal.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: They have to be able to we have to be
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: able to simply push the equivalent of a button, a
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: click through, and all of a sudden that information is private,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and it's private on any browser that you use.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't they assume we want our privacy and then you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: could opt in if I would use some sort of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: You know, but here's the problem. You're talking about some
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of the most powerful lobbies that exist. This alone probably
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: was a huge fight. I feel that way about organ transplants.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this before. They could clear up the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: organ transplant issue in one day by doing on your
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: driver's license. Do you want to opt out where automatically
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you're an organ donor and unless you don't want to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do it, and there are certain people that don't believe that,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you've got.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Anybody that drives, anybody who rides a motorcycle should absolutely
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: be a donor. Yeah, by yes, nurses call them donor cycles.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: That no joke.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because so many accidents happen.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And yeah, gang bangers are really good too, because occasionally
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: they get shot in the head, which leaves the rest
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: of them in pretty good shape. Now, as much as
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: we make fun of this, it is it is a
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: serious thing. But opting in, opting out is really important.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: So we are going to see, well, now it's law.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And by the way, there's other states too, Texas, New
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Jersey are doing the same thing. And now we get
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to it's a California law. How does it affect the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: rest of the country. And the analogy here I'm going
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to make with the manufacturer and the sales of automobiles,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that our emission standards in California are stronger than in
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: any place else in the country.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: We have literally the.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Most restrictive and the most powerful I guess you'd use
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that word emission standards. So you buy a car in Arkansas,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: where they don't have those emission standards. You buy a
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: car in Tennessee, where new cars are put in your
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: front lawn on cinder blocks without wheels, why do they
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: have different standards? They really don't, you know. Because California
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: is such a huge market for cars, such an enormous
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: market for cars, all the manufacturers are saying, Okay, we'll
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: just do it across the country, so the emission standards
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the country follows California. Same thing
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: with this philosophy, and that is there are other states
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: that don't have this restriction. California has this new restriction
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: with internet browsing. But the browsing companies, the firms that
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: do this, all the major browsers, will say, you know what,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: we have to do it for California, we might as
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: well do it for everybody else. California is ten percent
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of the population of the United States anyway, so it's.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Just easier to do that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: When we talk about California being at the forefront of
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of entitlement issues, social issues, it's not just
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: that we are at the forefront in terms of planning,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: in terms of liberalism. Yeah, I don't care which side
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: of the coin you're on now, you believe, don't believe.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's not just the philosophy that controls these laws being passed.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: It's just the nature of the number of people we
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: have here that has enormous influence, just the sheer number
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of people. When you control ten percent of the population
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of a country, you have a lot of influence. I mean,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you know, New Hampshire is six people. You know what
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: kind of influence in New Hampshire haves although two senators
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: just like we do.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Uh huh, what is that? Do you know that? I
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: think it's Maryland.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Maryland has two senators and one congress person. Because of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the population, you're better off running for the US Senate
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: than you are running for Congress. We, on the other hand,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I have forty million people. I don't even know how
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: many congress people fifty three something like that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're done with that. In baths.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Mayor of Los Angeles first day she came into office,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: declared the state of emergency over homelessness. And now she
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: has undone it. There's no more homelessness, or at least
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a state of emergency. What is a couple of days ago,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: three years after she became mayor. Homelessness is trending down,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: two years in a row, and as she said to
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the city Council, we have begun a real shift in
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: our city's decades long trend of rising homelessness.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: How many are dying each day? Yeah, they give that number.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I know they don't.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The other thing they don't do is we don't really
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: know who is homeless and who is not. I mean,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: think about this for a moment. If you're CouchSurfing right
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: or part of the time, let's say you're homeless, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: part of the time you have the money to buy
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a rent a sleeves ball hotel downtown LA, Well, for
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: those two weeks or three weeks you are home, you're
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: not homeless. And if the homeless population is being counted
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: at that time, you're not homeless. But a week later,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you're on the street. So it's not just a number
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that's thrown out. It's a lot more complicated than that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I watched an eighty year old, at least an
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: eighty year old woman the other day pull down her
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: pants on Beverly Boulevard and take a crap right in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: front of me, So I'm pretty sure she was not
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: homed You know what, my mother is dead. No, no, no,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: but really it was.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I no, I understand that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's the whole issue about mental illness,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: like right on the street, I know, and thirty percent
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they figure of the homeless are mentally l thirty yeah, probably,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: if not more, but then you also have got to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: be more.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know. I mean the figure I don't
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: think the city goes out.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Thirty percent of city hall is mentally Dad's true.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: But the point of this is that that she has
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: declared that we are doing much better and the inside Safe.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Program is being curtailed. That was her claim to fame.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: That was her pet project, and what's happening is that's true.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: As of September, the INSI Safe program, for example, that
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: she had has moved five thousand people into interim housing,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: which is pretty good. More than twelve hundred been moved
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: into permanent housing, which is pretty good. Another sixteen hundred
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: are in interim housing, which is pretty good. And as
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of right now, this is the city counting. And I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: just told you the counting is weird because at what
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: point is it. It's a snapshot of the homeless at
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: any given time, and if you count them three weeks later,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it is a different snapshot because some are now out
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: on the street, some are back into housing, CouchSurfing, if
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: you will. So according to the number of homeless people
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: living in shelters, according to the Mayor's office, that's dropped
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: three point four percent.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: So it's a huge success.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Time.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: LA County has a.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Population of sixty thousand homeless people. I'm thrilled to twelve
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: hundred in the city of La Well, okay, they've lucked out.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: But when you talk about any kind of success.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You know the Union Rescue Mission, which Amy and I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: participate in every year, with over one thousand people just them.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: One organization does over one thousand. The city of La
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is bragging about five thousand.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, all right, all right, so much for that, all right, Now,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: this is one of those. And yeah, you know, I
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: have an issue with Donald Trump, and I try to
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: give him credit when credit is due. I do, although
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't think so. But here's one
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that I have a really hard time with, and that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: is the president. And that's just the president. It's his
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: go ordered the institutions we're talking about, schools, museum to
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: remove content that disparage Americans. This was an executive order
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: entitled Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History and arguing
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: that over the past decade, signs and displays, a museums
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and parks across the country have been distorted by a
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: widespread effort to rewrite our nation's history and replace the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: facts of our nation's history with revisionist history, with liberal ideology.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And under this revision revisionist history, our nation's unperiled. This
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: is Trump talking our nation's unperiled legacy of advancing liberty,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: individual rights, human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexists, oppressive,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: or otherwise irredeemably flawed.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the problem.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: First of all, he ordered National Park Service and the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Smithsonian scrub the of content that quote inappropriately disparages Americans
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: living or dead and replace it with language that celebrates
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the nation's greatness.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to argue the greatness of slavery, that was
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: great stuff.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Slaves are good, fisher friends, Slaves are good.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I'm not joking.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: You know that one iconic photo of the slave whose
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: back is so riddled with those whip marks.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I mean they're just the whole thing is.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Just covered gone, And that was the most iconic photo
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I think of slavery that existed. And so this network
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: is now moving ahead with a vengeance. Historians, librarians, volunteers
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: racing to document those museum displays and records that they
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: fear the Trump administration is simply going to say remove them.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: A museum has an exhibit that in any way disparages America,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: out it goes because we are only interested in having
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: museum exhibits that talk about the greatness of America, which,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: by the way, I'm fine, because there's a lot of
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: greatness in America. But the reality is we did have slaves,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: and it's the great sin of this country. It is
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the original sin of the United States is slavery. The
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: first black to put it was him put his feet
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: on American soil on what the North American continent was
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: was a slave boy, that tells you something.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: We removed that.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: How about removing the record of the Japanese Americans who
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: were interred one hundred and twenty thousand of them that
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: were interred throughout the country, particularly California during World War
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: two because of the fear they were spies and they
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: were somehow advocating the of the Japanese government that the
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: United States was at war with. We're talking about third
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: generation Japanese. You know how many times, you know how
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: many people were actually convicted of any kind of espionage
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: or sabotage of the Japanese ancestry during World War two zero.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, Germans, who were white, we were riddled
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: with German spies, riddled. There was the German American Bund,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: which was a pro Nazi organization, I mean Swastikas and
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Hitler and zig Heiles.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: But the Japanese, no, you know what, it was a vacation.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Give me a break.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: They got camp for free. We have to pay for
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: our kids to go to camp. They got it for free.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: You know that. That's how crazy this is.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That's the saying that if you don't remember history, you're
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: gonna repeat it or something like that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't remember history, you don't remember history.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: What's that? I don't remember?
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Repeat it? Hello, Dustined Dustined Still. I was just wondering
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: where are you going with that? But I mean, it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: just it is truly crazy making.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, it just is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I I just why don't we accept the fact that
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: in our greatness, which the United States is, there are
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of points in our history.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe not so great. How about facts?
