The economy is sick. Access are high. Housing is expensive and businesses are leaving. California needs fixing. And John Phillips is just the man to leave the charge. It's the fix California hour with John Phillips and Randy Wang. And we continue at 105 in the afternoon on the John Phillips show. Mr. Randy Wigs in Culver City. John, I think I'm getting a little more vain in my right-bowl age of 41. I'm looking at myself in the camera at johnny.like.com and I'm like, the lighting in this studio is terrible. I have shadows under my eyes and johnny's looking great in his home studio,

1:02not in dumpy Culver City. Maybe I'm just jealous. We're broadcasting live on the radio on 790 K ABC 810 K S F O and live on YouTube. But johnny.com that's johnny with a Y. I got to get you in there right now because I have a new poll. The last story that we did is one of the more decisive, divisive ones that we talk about on the show. Some people are for the flock cameras. Some people are against the flock cameras. So currently at the poll up at johnny.com. Do you support flock cameras? Flock is fabulous. Has 32% of the vote and bleep flock has 68% of the votes. Interesting. Well, if you decide to do something about that studio, just fool around with the lighting. Be careful with the bow talks because people who go wild with the bow talks end up looking like john rivers. I don't think I'm going down that route. 800 222 5222 God rest yourself.

2:021 800 222 5222. It is our pleasure to welcome our next guest to the program. He is the anchor of Fox News at night, which you can watch each and every weeknight on the Fox News channel. He also has brand new book that's available online at amazon.com. It's called turns out they were right all along. Life lessons learned eventually. Trace Gallagher. Welcome. John, thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Just very quickly run that out here. I'm against the flock cameras. So just we're getting. I was kind of kitchen. I'm against the flock. I'm the bleep. I'm on the bleep flock. I got that thing 68% there, and if you think randy's lighting is bad at his studio, take a look at this. I mean, this is like, hey, pop it up. Try to get some sunlight in here and it's cloudy up. Yeah, what do you want to porch somewhere? Oh, yeah, we're near a porch. So where the book is called turns out there right all along.

3:05It's stories about me. It's stories about people that that I have come to know famous people and not famous people. People who have given me wonderful advice over the years that I similarly dismissed because of course, you know, when you're up and you're like, I got it. I got it, including, you know, people like to great John Wooden, the UCLA basketball coach is a great story there about it. It's Southern California based. And so it's a story about when I was a kid, I went to mammoth high school. Everybody, all your audience knows mammoth high school is mammoth mountain California. That was where I grew up. And when you go to mammoth high school, John California, you got to play three sports because there's only 200 kids in the whole school. So I was terrible at basketball and I thought I could go to that wooden camp. Man, oh man, oh man. I'm going to be golden, but it was 500 bucks. And back in, you know, 1977, 500 bucks was real. My dad, you get half, I'll get half. I worked, I got half, went to the wooden camp down here in Southern California.

4:06And I walked into the gym and five minutes later, John Wooden walks out. The Wizard of Westwood walks out, taps the microphone three times. And he says, boys, he says you, you should, you know, sit down, take your shoes and socks off. You should have two pairs of socks. Take those first pair of socks and you put them on inside out. You take the second pair and you put them on the right way and then you put your shoes back on and you tie them up nice and tight. He says, if you do that, you will not have blisters. You cannot play basketball with blisters. And then John Wooden turned and he walked off stage and we never saw him again. The rest of the kids. 500 bucks. 500 bucks, that's the way he got. It's a few times less than from the Wizard of Westwood. But as you go through time, you learn, you know, he's a brilliant guy. He had the John Wooden pyramid he had. So it kind of leads in those kinds of stories where, you know, sometimes you, you dismiss what's done. And then it comes back to this day. I still wear two pairs of socks to play racquetball.

5:07Were you ever able to see him at the Valley Inn in Sherman Oaks? The Valley Inn is the sports casters or was the sports casters hangout where not only would John Wooden eat dinner there like five nights a week. But Chick Herne, the late great chick Herne and his lovely wife, Marge, used to have dinner there like two nights a week. Dan Avey, my pal, who worked at KBC with me, who was the voice of the USC Trojans football team and the LA King's hockey team back in the early days. He used to go in there like five days a week. You go into this restaurant in Sherman Oaks and you'd see all of these sports legends everywhere you turned. Yeah, well, less than yes, I've heard the stories. I've met some of those legends, but no, never did I attend, never did I go there. But, but, you know, because I was in those early years and yet I was not here in LA. I was in Ume Arizona, right? You're trying to get your reps and television. I was in Ume Arizona and I was in Boise, Idaho. And then I went to Vegas and then it's off to Orlando and then New York and then Chicago and you know, you get it's like being in the army where you're not, you're not shooting anybody.

6:17But, but that's kind of what you do is you just make your way around the country. So, no, I did not, I did not was not enmeshed in that Southern California culture at the time when it came to source. Recently, John Morgan of Morgan and Morgan, the famous litigator who is also a mega donor, used to be with the Democratic Party. Now he's an independent, made a lot of headlines by talking about work from home. And he no longer allows people in his office to work from home because what he said that he was finding out was that nobody was doing anything. It wasn't work from home. It was not working at all, but the paychecks were still going out. So, he's forcing everyone back into the office. We just had him on the podcast, which is going to air tomorrow. And one of the things that he said, because he also has a book out about his career, is that a lot of the breaks that he's gotten in his life have happened because he's been in the office when everything's gone to hell.

7:23And opportunity presented itself, and he was the guy who was there. He was the guy who was ready to take the reins. And if you're not physically present, if you're not there, when they need someone to solve a problem for the managers, then you miss out on a lot of opportunities. How much in your book and in your career was being physically present, being physically there? How much of a role did that play in your success? Oh, I think it's 90%. I mean, by the way, John Morgan, when I was in Orlando doing the news in Orlando, John Morgan, that was the base for their mega company. And then they started kind of going to gravitating to states that would be more amenable for them, where they could win these lawsuits. So, that's how John Morgan became this behemoth in the injury law professor. But, you know, showing up, John, is 90% of the battle, right? I mean, it's like Phil Ho, I don't know who said this. But it's like someone once told me, and he said, you know, the bottom line here is, it's great to win the fight.

8:27But it's a lot more important to show up for the fight. Because if you show up for the fight, it tells you opponents you are willing to go toe to toe and face to face. And you are also willing to endure some very uncomfortable consequences, even if you win, that's the whole point. Because even if you win a fight, you're going to get your butt whipped a little bit. You're going to get some negative impact on that. And that's just, that's how life is. It doesn't matter what you do or where you go. If you go to Ume Arizona, you're making $11,000 a year. You're getting experiences and television, but you're guestitude. You're also, you know, you're out covering stories in 125 degree temperatures. I mean, that's the voice of the Idaho, the opposite, where it's 45 degrees below. And you're, you know, you're kind of in the same vein. You have to show up. And the guys who keep showing up are the ones who always come out first. You just keep showing up again and again and again and either they get tired of you and let you do what you've been wanting to do.

9:27Or you get good enough at what you've been wanting to do. It's like, you know, covering breaking news. At the early years of Fox News, all we did for hours and hours, especially here in LA, cover breaking news, car chases. You cover car chase after OJ car chases became the thing to watch. And the ratings would go up and we would do them for hours and hours. We would do a goat cut on the side of a hill in palace, Verde's right and you sit there and do two and a half hours of broadcasting on it. And wait until the goat was finally lifted off by a helicopter and the ratings were sky high. So it's just it's part and parcel of showing up. And then when you do show up, you've got to get better. You've got to be better at what you did and how you started. Throughout your career, you have interviewed very famous politicians. You've interviewed famous actors. You've interviewed diplomats. You've interviewed the best of the best, the cream of the crop in any number of professions.

10:29Is there any character traits that you've seen that are commonalities between people who are ultra successful in whatever it is that they do? And I asked that question because in my career, what I have noticed is that the people who are super successful are just animals. They consume a lot of life. They don't sleep very much. They want to be everywhere. They eat a ton. They exercise a ton. Everything they do, they do in excess. And they want to consume as much life as humanly possible. It's very true. I mean, they also, you know, they tend to drink a little bit more than they should be drinking. And, you know, it's all hands on death for them, right? They want a little bit of everything. It's like this buffet. And they're not going to leave anything. They're going to take a dab of everything. And they're going to taste everything because it's her personality. It's who they are. And it's, you know, where the anxiety just eats them alive inside. And so they can't really sleep all that much. So they get up and they start doing, you know, the people that I've talked to, one of the things that, you know, you mentioned that it's just doing everything.

11:38One of the things that I've also found that is that is one of these endearing qualities of people. It doesn't matter if it's Tom Hanks or if it's Donald Trump. These people who are, who are capable of telling you a compelling story and just making you sit and listen for a minute, a minute and a half. And you can't wait to hear how the story comes out. They've all that got that kind of, you know, that trait where they're just good storytellers, right? They've done enough. They've been successful enough that they've got some great stories. They know what stories work. They know what stories don't. And so if you find somebody who is ultra successful, one of the traits that you will know that's that is in common. A lot of these people have is the ability to tell a good story, a compelling story can be 30 seconds. It can be 10 minutes. Doesn't matter. Somebody who can hold the room for 30 seconds, 10 or 10 minutes, tends to be ultra successful in life. At least I found.

12:41I'll tell you something else, that type of person to me seems incapable of retirement. Right where I just can't look at Donald Trump and see him sitting on a sofa watching reruns a judge Judy. I don't see that happening. I don't see Nancy Pelosi doing that. I mean, look for heaven's sake. Look at Frank Sinatra, how he spent his final years of life. Even though the guy could barely had a voice left, couldn't really stand on stage. For the duration of the concert was still traveling around the globe and singing because that was what he knew and that's what he did and he did it all the way until the end. Tony Bennett Tony Bennett was 94 95 he had Alzheimer's for five or six years and he would still get up there and sing every note of every song. I mean, literally days before he died, he went up on stage and performed a couple of his songs. It just gets in your blood and you can't leave it alone.

13:43I mean, you look at some of the guys, I look at some of the people at Fox, I look at Larry Cutler who worked at E 79. He worked at the White House, right. He was decided in 71. He was going to go work at the White House. So he worked at the White House for years. And now he's 75, he's going to retire now. I'm going to go back and work at Fox News for another four or five, six years. Who knows, but that's the guy. It's just it gets in their blood and they can't leave. And so you're exactly right. People, Dick Van Dyke will be 101 years old in December. He's still doing interviews. You're like, what is going on here? George Burns was still smoking cigars at 93 and laughing because he was still alive. He'd smoked tens of cars today and laugh because I'm still alive. He lived to be 100. I mean, it's just that it's this whole zest for life. You talk about here, you know, you got to have exercise. I think if you've got a zest for life, you're going to live. You are going to live a decently long life. Now, in the book, you talk about your various positions that you've had all over the country and broadcast journalism. And that in the old days, that was how people made it in the business.

14:52You started out at a small market. You started out on weekends. You started out doing late nights. The jobs that the people who had been there a long time didn't want. You proved yourself. And then you worked your way up the food chain to bigger markets and bigger shows until finally you end up in a big market or a cable channel or a network or something along those lines. It seems like now with the new guard, that is changing where you don't see people moving around from those smaller affiliates to the bigger ones to the biggest ones. Where now people start out doing a podcast and they make themselves famous doing that and then they just shoot right to the top. And there's not really that time that spent allowing the cookie to bake in the oven and really understanding the craft and seeing every curve ball that the pitcher can throw at you 9,000 times by the time that you're in the big leagues. And you know how to hit that curve ball because you've done it so many times. Now for a lot of these people, that's not what happens. They become famous on social media. They become famous on the podcast circuit or whatever.

16:01And then they go to the top. Then they get the network shows and those sorts of things. And it seems to me like it's, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm sure from their point of view, it's a good thing because they made it to the top and in a very relatively small amount of time. But I don't necessarily know if you learn all the things that people who started out at the bottom learn. And you don't necessarily have the skill set as someone who has seen everything that you can throw at them. Right. No, I think you're exactly right. And part of the problem is is that now you have people that are specializing. So instead of going to work for KYL and Yuma Arizona. And by the way, some of these small markets that I was able to make my bones in have dried up. I mean, we used to have my station in Newman used to have three, four newscasts today. Now, and there's like all the stations are under one roof and they've got 15 minutes at 11 o'clock. That's it. There's just no more money in local news anymore.

17:01So the small markets are drying up. But you're right when you talk about people who are in politics one day and they are a press secretary for somebody. And the next day they're working for a cable channel and there's kind of specializing in politics. They don't really have any broadcast teeth, but, but that's kind of that's the way the game is now. You know, it's it's the whole thing we talked about repetition, right. I mean, we would sit there and do these breaking news stories every single day and after you do them for so long, you get very good at it. It's a tip. You get good at these to do it enough repetition. But, but a place in more for these young people to get one man bands, they go out, they shoot the video, they edit the video. They're the reporter. They're the producer. They're the director of the industry. They're the director of the industry. They're the director of the industry. And so they can't just sit on television and speak for hours on end. And I think that's that's a negative to this industry. I mean, you know, you look at the way that Peter Jennings came through the ranks.

18:02And you think that's a lot different than the guy who's currently entering a ABC. It's just a different trajectory because times would change and they will continue to change. And my daughter was thinking about going into broadcasting and, you know, the small market was the farthest she was going to go work for a campaign. And she was going to become a press and then go from there. And that seems like an avenue to get in, you know, and you're exactly right. Get a podcast. Anybody can get a podcast. Sometimes it resonates. Sometimes it doesn't. You get a podcast. You get some listeners. People pick you up. And the next thing you know you're off and running as a broadcast. And it reminds me of the old days with the first TV stars when Lucy and when Jackie Gleason and all of these people became stars on television. They'd been working in Vaudaville. They'd been working in radio. They've been working in the night clubs. They'd been doing that a very long time. And by the time they were ready for television, they were ready.

19:02And when you put them on so many of those people became stars that are still recognizable today. People hear Lucy's name and, you know, she's been dead for decades, but you talked to any little kid. They know Lucille ball. And part because when she went on that television screen in the 1950s, she was ready. Yeah, you listen to Jackie Gleason. Jackie Gleason will kind of go over his story and he and he and art carny who played Norton on the old Jackie Gleason show. You know, they would do this routine night after night after night and on radio and in night clubs and stuff. And by the time they got to television, they didn't have to write these episodes. They just went out there and started doing their thing and they could literally do them live. And that was the whole thing. It was such. There was so much repetition. And they had this, they had this great relationship in this rapport. And it was funny and Lucille ball is the same way. She could pick up any net writer script. She would just go out and she would be funny. And that has changed. Now it's, you know, it's the opposite, right?

20:08Is you need more, you need more writing, you need more rehearsals and stuff in comedy today than you did back in the day because they were doing it every single day and night in just building their careers. And now you go into a different scenario almost every week when you're doing these comedy shows, you talk to the people who are doing them and they're like, no, we labor over these things and we're doing seven, eight, nine takes because it's, you know, it's, you know, it's a great thing. It's, you know, it's, it's not easier. Not, you know, have the same timing as these guys used to have back and vulnerable.

It's happened yet again. I see time for the California crime blotter.

23:23And I think this would involve another street takeover, but there's a little bit of a twist. The twist is the LAPD finally got the go ahead to take one of these things down and it was glorious. And that's a massive street takeover saying where they actually did what you see in smaller counties all the time where you block off every possible escape route, you trap them all in and then you go after everybody and give them tickets. Good for them. That's progress. It's something. It's a step in the right direction for more on operation street sweeper, which is a fantastic name. Here is KTLA. The LAPD launches a massive staying targeting street takeovers and ends with dozens of people arrested and hundreds more cited love to hear it. Love to hear people actually got arrested for this nonsense. I wonder how many people are going to miss the mensameding because they were stuck in jail overnight.

24:25Authorities say operation street sweeper was planned in advance using intelligence to predict locations of those street takeover. Did you really need to you have like a whole lot of ideas of where these things happen. Just look at the track marks that are in every intersection in South L.A. and Compton. Don't they advertise it on TikTok too. Yes, they do. And what a lot of them do now is apparently there's like what's app chats or group chats even on iPhones that the young kids, the have gotten beyond even social media. They have their own private networks for this nonsense, but still there's got to be a way to crack down. The tow trucks roll down to the scene to take away all of the impounded cars. Chris Wolf now with more on that. We should do forget due process. You're a well, you have one of your cars at one of these events and it's doing donuts. Get the trash compactor out there today and let's crush went into a cube in front of everybody or just swap out whatever car they brought to the street takeover with the Nissan Altima.

25:30Well, do we have an Altima that we can spare? Please move it now. You're blocking someone. That clip is 20 years old this year. Communities are fed up. Police and city leaders are fed up and now cops are cracking down on illegal street racing street takeovers and so called side shows. And if you're wondering if it's just a coincidence that all of a sudden the LATPD has been allowed to crack down on this two months before the election. No, it's not a coincidence. And the message to parents start parenting and watch over your kids. There was more hell raising on this Labor Day holiday weekend as hundreds of young people in dozens of cars took over the intersection of Figaroa Street and a laundromat boulevard and think about the drive to do this to participate in the illegal activity.

26:42It is so strong they even put up with the humidity to do this nonsense. I wouldn't harbor for gateway early Saturday morning. So called side shows if you're wondering if society is overall getting dumber you just have to play videos of side shows and yes we are. Like this display in South LA last month have become a persistent plague in Los Angeles often leading to serious injuries, vandalism, looting and overall mayhem. But this time in Harbor Gateway as part of Operation Street sweeper the LAPD was able to quickly join the sinister circus. Sinister circus now there's some alliteration for you not quite at mark brown level but good. The perimeter and then closing in on all of the chaos. Some participants scattered and tried to hide in nearby yards or breezeways.

27:48Okay, if the cops catch you all they're going to do is give you a ticket. If you break into someone's house or you're on someone's property in the middle of the night you might actually get shot. Well, there was panic going on usually these little bastards don't expect any consequences for this and that's why there's so brazen about it. But home security cameras are always watching and recording. You know, maybe it's gender bias of me, but there's something even worse about the young teenage girls doing this than the dumb teenage boys. Teenage boys are idiots, but girls should know better. You notice there's always a certain look to the girl that's there. There's a certain phrase that I will not use on the air that I'm going to type into the chat. So if you want to see the phrase that most people would refer to this woman, I'm just going to type it in the chat, but I will not say it on the radio.

28:50I was thinking Ho Chi Mama. In the 70s, that's what they called them in the 2020s, they have a new name for them. It's in the chat. The LAPD explains these dangerous and explosive gatherings can erupt almost immediately through social media. And by the time authorities arrive, the gravel rousers are in the wind. However, times are changing. I love it when the cars are doing donuts and they just knock down the idiots like bowling pins because it's always a 7-10 split. And these dumb asses sign up for it. Ejik planning, intelligence gathering and the use of drone technology we accurately predict. You can actually see a smile on his face. They're like two or three times a year where Jim McDonald gets to do his job. Because most of the year, he gets to not do his job and have to run cover for Karen Bass because the job of the police chief is not to enforce the law. It's to make the mayor look good.

29:51Locations of four separate street takeovers culminating right here where we're standing at the intersection of Figaroa Street and a laundromat of art. More than 150 officers were deployed working with precision. They covertly and simultaneously surrounded a gathering of over 700 people who are participating in an illegal street. By the way, I love this. Just the feeling of having hundreds of people boxed in and they can't leave and LAPD has every exit. This is the kind of feeling these little bastards deserve. It's great, but all they ended up with was a kin to a parking ticket. Take over and as you can see in a residential neighborhood. It is offensive to folks who are just trying to live their lives in their homes and follow the rules and be raised their families and just get some sleep before work. It's the most animated. I've seen Tim McCosker since he got pissed off that sailing was going from San Pedro to Long Beach for the Olympics.

30:53Well, could you imagine what kind of calls his office must get when these things happen? Authorities arrested people in the chat are saying they can't see the thing that I wrote in the chat. I think they just want me to type it again. That was a one time only offer. You're welcome to guess what the term is. Nearly 70 people on various. There was another girl in that shot. What the hell? Charges including assaulting a police officer. Hundreds of others were cited for being spectators at a street race or violating curfew as minors. The LAPD also impounded 200 vehicles and seized seven firearms. Oh, yeah, because these things are full of criminal activity. The gangs run these things. So even if you just do a sweep of whoever's there, you're going to find straight up criminals in there every single time. This is fantastic. And even though this is too little too late, you got to applaud them when they finally are allowed to do the right thing.

31:54Well, they didn't mention it, but I would assume that many of them also have active warrants for their arrest. So I asked from my heart. I asked parents, no way your kids are watch out for them and have serious talks to them about what they're dealing with here. LA mayor can if that doesn't work. Remember, LA County has a program where Barbara Ferrer goes to the schools and has presentations. He presents to the children while you shouldn't do a street takeover. Yeah. Can you imagine what that presentation must look like? Well, yes, I can. Next slide. By the way, this is not that important, but I have to bring it up because I was going to text you about this. Speaking of babs, do you know the old media guy, the guy that tried to get you kicked off a Twitter? What? He's running for city council in Santa Monica. I saw that and he's blaming all of Santa Monica's problems on Trump.

32:56Actually, you can blame a lot of Santa Monica's problems on his old boss, Barbara Ferrer. And you know, Barbara Ferrer is one of the reasons that Santa Monica is not what it used to be because Barbara Ferrer is the one that started passing out needles. Karen Bass released a statement saying that there is zero tolerance for illegal street racing. Well, there's been plenty of tolerance up to 60 days before the election. Yeah, this was the first time they've ever done anything about it. That's why it made the news. Yep. And street takeovers in Los Angeles. She says they are inherently dangerous. And we will continue to prioritize prevention, deterrence and enforcement. That means the Barbara Ferrer seminar. I wonder if she tells them about toileting. Well, it is an important thing to know.

All right, it's time to reopen the California crime blotter. He's the cashier. He's dummy.

36:01We can make this stuff up if we tried. I said, hell no baby boy. Let me get up on out of here. It's the California crime blotter. And Randy, this edition takes us to the animal shelter. This might sound heartless, but I'm just going to straight up say it and it might even be our poll for the two o'clock hour. Bum shouldn't be allowed to have dogs. And here's why look at what this crazy monster did to the staff of the animal shelter near Skid Row. Here is Fox 11 and Matthew Cedorf. An attack at an LA city animal shelter leaves workers injured and a dog thrown onto a busy freeway tonight. The top official warns budget cuts may be creating dangerous conditions and leaving shelters unprotected. Fox 11 says you see, you know, when I was a kid and I would ask a question, the answer was always because I said so.

37:03Why do I have to go to bed at nine o'clock at night? Because I said so. Why do I have to eat that broccoli? I don't like the way it tastes because I said so. Why do we have to leave the angel game in the seventh inning? Because I said so. And they were down by seven runs. Well, when you become an adult, people stop saying because I said so. That's no longer the answer to everything. Now, the answer to every question I have as an adult is budget cuts. How could I no longer get a meal in coach? Budget cuts. How come they don't clean my room every single day at the hotel? Budget cuts. And how come there's no security at the Skid Row animal shelter? Budget cuts.

38:05Sure, fly now and link at heights with the latest Matthew. Well, Glenn, some of those workers here on Friday were seriously injured in that attack. And unfortunately, this isn't the first time. New dramatic pictures from the latest attack inside North Central Animal Services. And this guy went ballistic workers Friday fearing for the you know, I'll say it before I'll say it again. Thank goodness for guys like Joey Tuchio who were shining a light on this and getting local news to report on it. Because what's going on in Skid Row every single day is a tragedy. And there are so many people there that probably have active warrants that have committed all kinds of animal abuse that should be in prison now. Lives a man just released from jail snaps while his dog was getting fixed. He started breaking computers. He had a staff member go on his knees plead for his life while he was screaming biblical verses. And this is a guy we let out of jail. This sounds totally chaotic. Yes. He broke somebody's arm. He was just beating the receptionist. He grabbed his dog, ran down there, dropped the dog on the 101.

39:11You know why because this method was probably a backyard breeder that was trying to torture the dog and make a new puppies and sell them on the black market until the dog dies. This is the kind of crap that goes on every single day and Karen Bass and Nithia Raminer paying a lot of lip service to this. But neither of them care about this or want to do a damn thing about it. Now how come this is being blamed on budget cuts. This just seems like a guy having a psychotic meltdown. I think it's the lack of security. New video obtained exclusively by Fox 11 shows another dramatic confrontation at the same shelter earlier this year. You know, some people have meth teeth. Some people have meth face. This guy has meth beard. You know what they should have done. They should have treated him like a dog with rabies and just put him down. Oh man, demanding his cat back. Can you imagine what it's like to work at the Skid Row animal shelter?

40:12No, there is not enough money on planet earth to get me to work there. And listen to this story because I've heard Joey tell this story, but it is. This is the kind of crap that we just allow. And demanding his cat back. What should we threatening to rip out the animals new micro chip? This is probably the third time I've heard of of mass people coming inside demanding things. Whoa. And it's not Halloween. No, I would be worried that that guy would have an oozzy. This is somebody wearing a mask with a skull on it like he is a lucha Libre wrestler, but then also has a Gilligan hat on. It's a weird combo. The witness is say the man from Friday's attack was later arrested at a nearby metro station after trying to take his own life. This guy came out and he started trying so he wasn't successful. Why'd they take him in? Just let him try again. Well, then you got to spend a lot of money to clean up the train.

41:14I'm working. Other rescuers tell us they saw him here the day before acting strange. He refused because he didn't know why he had been arrested and why they took his dog. Why this shelter? This shelter is connected to get right. You can just hear all kinds of howling and barking back there because Karen Bass has cut the budget of these animal shelters to the point where the dogs don't even get walk. So they're all miserable budget cuts. That's why somebody put in the chat. Why does it Randy live in the South Bay budget cuts? I'm security is so important because you have these lunatics coming from Skid Row in the surrounding area coming here to get their dogs. City employees and also staff of one of our vet clinics were physically attacked. City controller Kenneth Mejia releasing this video after Friday's attack described the hea the only prominent LA official endorsing Nithia. We have budget cuts to animal services or impacted budget cuts.

42:16Shelters across the city. This department has been short staff and underfunded mayor Karen Bass saying those injured here Friday or in her thoughts adding security is now on site. On Monday Fox 11 saw one unarmed security guard outside. That's not going to do anything. Nope. I love how he's got a uniform except he's got dirty sneakers instead of like actual shoes. Friday's attack happened, but advocates want more. So there you go. That's the latest on all the insanity on Skid Row. Dave Roberts here. There you are surrounded by fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers. Everybody remembers the game. Nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later at 2 a.m. You wake up with the fever and your throats on fire. Now what urgent care? Close. ER? Slam. Telehealth? Maybe. But the pharmacies close. You needed a medical emergency kit. These aren't first aid kits. They contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions.
