Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, why is it that the press has to report
things in this manner?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
The poor little.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Palestinians, they don't have any flower left.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
They're tired, they're weary.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Wait a minute, what about the people who got their
families ripped apart, slaughtered, burn alive.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
You name it.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
You must be new here.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I was kind of on his side too, because when
I heard the report, I'm like, well, maybe if you know,
Hamas didn't steal everything that we were trying to give them,
then maybe it would have gone a little bit better.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Well that crossed my mind too, And I mean, the Palestinians
will still go by the flower in the black market
from amas So and we just keep shipping it over
to them.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Remember the pier that we built or the barge or whatever.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, that worked out pretty well done.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
And we did get a lot of trucks that were
every bit of material, food, and service that we sent
them was stolen by Haman.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
You remember, you remember? I know it was a while ago,
but yeah, I vaguely remember that.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
And the pier that we built at the floating barge.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
What you Yeah, I've tried to forget about that one too.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's destroyed. Yeah, gone yep.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Uh. This disappeared in the New York Times on the
twenty fourth and and the headline caught my eye. What
shopping bags should I use? Uh? You can also get
this in and and Uh. You can read it in an
spole on the New York Times website too, which I
found very very unhelpful. Uh. It starts out like this.
(01:47):
With more city, states and countries banning single use plastic bags,
papers become a popular alternative at their grocery checkout. At
first glance this scene, this seems like an obvious wind
for the environment. Plastic bags, after all, are made from
fossil fuels and are a major source of pollution. Now
(02:12):
I'm a little confused by the structure of the sentence.
Plastic bags, after all are made from fossil fuels and
a major source of pollution. So the bags are made
from fossil fuels and from a major source of pollution.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
We'll keep using them if they're eating up all the pollution.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, or plastic bags are made from fossil fuels and
are a major source of pollution. What what?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
The bags are made from pollution, So we are helping
by using them.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
And there's that interpretation too. But then I'm not the
editor for the New York Times, so that's not how
I would have written it. But then the next paragraph,
paper bags, however, are not a better choice blasphemy from
the New York Times, because they write they come with
(03:13):
their own list of environmental caveats, as do their reusable totes.
You know how they're trying to get you out of
your car. They just like people driving cars. They just
don't like people carrying their groceries out in a bag
of any sort. So plastic bags are bad. Paper bags
(03:35):
have their own environmental caveats, and reusable totes also have
problems too. So what are you supposed to do? I
know you're supposed to hire illegal aliens waiting at the
home depot to come over to the grocery store and
take your bags, take your groceries home for you. How
about that? It's hard to make apples comparisons pun intended,
hahaha of different kinds of grocery bags. That's because of
(03:57):
bag's environmental footprint. To depends on a plethora of factors.
How was made, what materials were used, and how far
it was transported in so much more. But the few
thorough studies have been that have been done on the
subject offer some helpful takeaways. Paper bags tend to require
(04:18):
more energy. Now, remember this is March twenty four. We've
heard this before, so why would they start printing well
known information again? Paper bags tend to require more energy
to produce than plastic ones. A twoy eleven study fourteen
(04:41):
years ago by Britain's environmental agency concluded that you'd have
to reuse a paper bag three times, or as Musk
would say, thrice to bring its global warming impact in
line with that of a plastic bag used just once. Okay.
(05:03):
A twenty eighteen study seven years old by Denmark, Well
they're just too busy focused on trying to keep greenland
similarly found that plastic bags made from polyethylene of versatile
and widely used form of plastic, have the smallest environmental
footprint of eight types of grocery bags, including paper ones. Well,
(05:29):
then why the hell are we using plastic bags low
density polyethylene of versatile and widely used form of plastic.
Those plastic bags have the smallest environmental footprint footprint of
eight types of grocery bags, including the paper ones, And
(05:50):
why the hell are we using them. Does the Times
understand what they wrote here? They're justifying the use of
plastic bags discarded bags. According to a British study, what
happens to a bag at the end of its life
contributes very little to global warming. But the question is
(06:11):
still worth thinking about. I mean, that's what they write.
It contributes very little to global warming, but the question
is still worth thinking about. Okay, I thought about it
and I decided that, well, it contributes very little to
global warming. I can have a plastic bag be used
more than one time, so I think I'll go with
the plastic bag. Only about ten percent of plastic bags
(06:32):
in the US get recycled. The recycling rate for that
category includes paper bags. The recycling rate for the category, Oh,
the recycling rate for the category that includes paper bags
is significantly higher forty three percent. Again, they're making the
(06:54):
case to use a paper bag. It still means that
most paper and plastic bags wind up in landfill or
to some degree an incinerator. In landfills, paper bags produce
methane and carbon dioxide, both potent greenhouse gases. Well, why
(07:16):
don't we capture the methane and use it? Why don't
we capture the methane from the degrading plastic bags and
use them for a fuel. Why just vent it out
use it? But a plastic bag in landfill produces neither.
But when plastic escapes into the environment, it can degrade
(07:37):
into macroplastics. They sometimes lasts for centuries. Okay, well, so
what to takeaway on toats now? I found this one
particularly interesting. Reusable totes have surged in popularity as a
way to reduce demand for single use bags. But those
good intentions have backfired because branded toats have become ubiquitous
(08:01):
swag at conferences, company events, and with certain retailers. Oh
you mean like Walmart that sells them. Huh, everybody else
that sells them, whole foods, everybody sells them reusable totes. Well,
if a home accumulates more toats than it could ever use,
that defeats the purpose of reducing overall consumption. Oh so, now,
(08:25):
the purpose is not about the environment. The purpose is
about consumption. We don't want you to consume too much.
There's too much consuming going on. The British study found
that a cotton bag would have to be reused more
than one hundred and thirty one times to reach the
(08:46):
equivalent carbon footprint of just one single use plastic bag.
A daily study put that figure at one hundred and
forty nine times. Why because the toats that you get
at Walmart, Art or Whole Foods or anywhere else, the land,
water and fertilizer required to grow cotton, the energy need
(09:08):
to process the cotton into yarn or other materials, and
the fact that most cotton bags are shipped from China
or India. So seek out re usable bags that are
made in your own country from himp or bamboo. Oh
or use fabric scraps, make your own bag. People have
(09:34):
too much time on their hand to worry about too
much stuff that does not make any difference. Marie Lapin,
the French populist leader, sentenced to jail banned from politics
in a lawfare case. What's going on here? Uh? The
(09:56):
long standing leader Maury Lapin Francis National Rally party she's
leaning in the opinion polls for the presidency, has been
prohibited from participating in any elections for the next five years,
according to a court ruling. Oh so they've got law there.
In the EU two, she was convicted of misusing European
(10:22):
Union funds. She got one hundred thousand dollars fine along
with a political ban. She's also been given a four
year prison sentence, of which two years were suspended, with
the potential option to serve in the remaining time under
a ankle bracelet. The Paris Court's decision came after the
Penn and several associated party personnel were found guilty of
(10:45):
diverting funds meant for EU parliamentary assistance to instead pay
her staff from two thousand and four to twenty sixteen. Now,
according to every report I've read, it's still the law.
I shouldn't say it's the law. It's a regulation. She's spent.
(11:09):
She's been found guilty of fighting a regulation which most
stories say is arcane and is mocked by most other
European countries. Jones Benedict de PERTHEUS who headed the proceeding,
dimmed the actions of a serious and lasting a tackle
and the rules of democratic life both within Europe and France.
No wait a minute, so the EU is doing this
(11:31):
or France is doing this. Well, apparently the EU is
doing it. It impacts her twenty twenty seven run for
the presidency, and despite the conviction, they of course they
denied any wrongdoing. Now it affects a bunch of other
people too. Catherine Grissette got a suspended sentence and an
(11:56):
electoral ban. Lewis Allo sentenced to a part suspended eighteen
month prison sentence. But La Penn is the one that
got the biggest political ban. Huh. Seems the EU is
a little concerned about Lapen remaining what can only be
considered a pivotal figure in French politics. She's made substantially
(12:19):
in roads into the mainstream political landscape over recent years,
and the verdict is the latest case of lawfare against
populist parties, not just Lapen but others and French voters
like they're going to descend against the idea that a
rogue judge can rule candidates ineligible for office. We elected
(12:40):
a felon, so I bet the Penn still runs. But
it just goes to show that, guess what, lawfare occurs
everywhere and investigations underway because in my other state, in
(13:04):
New Mexico, there's been an arson attack on the Republican
Party headquarters in Albuquerque early Sunday morning, causes substantial damage
to the front entryway, smoke damage throughout the building, The
Albuquerque Fire Department responded to the incident just before six
in the morning. They brought the fire into control within
(13:24):
five minutes. No casualties reported. The Republican Party of New
Mexico has condemned the attack. Amy Burrell, who's the chairwoman,
characterized it as a deliberate active arson also included messages
spray painted on the premises, including the phrase ICE Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement equals the KKK. Did you know that? Yeah,
(13:49):
the ICE Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is apparently burning crosses.
They're making up nooses and they are hanging illegal aliens
all across the country in these ceremonies in the middle
of the night, big crosses burning. They got their white
(14:10):
hoods on. You may think they just wear their uniform,
but they don't. They've got ice, you know, white gowns
and capes that they wear. They got their white sheets
on and they're going around and they're deah, they're hanging people.
No they're not, but ice equals KKK. That's the best
(14:34):
they got now. Interestingly, the Democrat Party in New Mexico
issued a statement condemning the attack, emphasizing that those actions
have no place in a democratic society and stressing the
importance of peaceful dialogue to address our political differences. And
(14:54):
the Democrat Party in New Mexico expressed hope that the
perpetrator would be swiftly apprehended and held liable for their actions. Now,
I did a little quick search, and I couldn't find
where the Democrat Party of New Mexico has condemned the
attacks on Tesla, either the company at the dealerships or
(15:20):
on their infrastructure like they're charging stations, or on cars
that other people have bought. Why not? Why why don't
you condemn that too. In other news, the President of the
United States has decided that he signed an executive order
(15:42):
to end collective bargaining with federal unions in any agency
that is involved in national security. Now it uses authority
from the Civil Service Reform Act of nineteen seventy eight.
So the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, National
Science Foundation, the Coastguard DHS, the Department of Justice, Department
(16:06):
of State, Department of Energy, and others can no longer unionize.
One more good thing. Just keep on keeping keep on,
keep on trucking. Trump, Just keep on trucking.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Mike everybody knows that a plastic bag has a life
cycle of three uses.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Number one it carries your groceries. Number two it carries lunch.
Number three it carries used cat letter.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
And number four it can carry dog poop. So the
third one can be used for catletter or for dog poop.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Whenever they you were talking about earlier about the number
of uses that a bag gets and everything, and you know,
use this paper bag versus this plastic bag versus this tote.
I always remember, back in the day, there was a
chip company, a Freedo La. It's a very small company,
but they tried with their off brand sunships to create
(17:15):
a biodegradable chip bag.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I don't remember this.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
And it worked. It worked well, but it was only
in production for year and a half. No, no, it
was too loud. Consumers did not like the chip bag. Seriously,
you open it up, they would crinkle and just make
too much noise. So they canceled it.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
So noise pollution is more important than plastic pollution.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, they they lost about eleven percent of their sales
in that run of those bioscopical bags.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
In other news, to prove that the it'll be here soon.
This story happens to be from k c AL out
of the CBS affiliate in Los Angeles, but it will
soon come to Colorado two and I would just urge
all RV dealerships to be aware of this story if
(18:19):
you're not already. It's well, it's kind of funny, but
it's kind of pathetic too. These are homeless encampments we've
ever seen. Dozens of people have broken into and moved
into a storage yard full of brand new luxury RVs.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
The lot is in the City of the Industry, near
the corner of Gael and Zeusa Avenues. Tonight Cakew's Lori
Paris joins us Live with the story. Lauri Well Susian one,
You're right. We have seen encampments all across La County,
but this is one of the most astounding. What we
saw today was a busy and active community of people
(18:59):
living in a parking lot full of RVs that do
not belong to them. Skycow video of the lot, near
the corner of Gale and Azuza Avenues in City of
Industry shows dozens of RVs with people appearing to live
in them. Outdoor furniture and belongings in the yards like
any neighborhood, except this isn't a neighborhood. It's the storage
(19:23):
lot of a company called Black Series RV, and this
is their overflow stock of luxury campers that sell for
forty to one hundred grand.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We've noticed that several of the trainers have been burning.
Like I said, there's homeless here, probably sometimes late at night.
They're coming in and out.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Workers like Marilyn Martinez, who works nearby, say a city
of squatters started taking over months ago, massive piles of
trash and debris piling up. The RV company says trespassers
are now living in at least fifty of their campers.
They tried using security teams to retrieve them, but say
the few they recovered were trashed. Other times they gave
(20:05):
up fearing for their safety. Martina says she and her
co workers walk in pairs to their cars.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Well, some things it is kind of dark, you know.
We do have the cross every year, and it's like
we have to be watching our backs, especially as girls.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Yeah, the city gave us a statement saying the city does.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Not own the site.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
This is a private trespass dispute between the property owners
and a private party. The city is working with the
property owners in helping to coordinate clean up efforts at
the site, and County Supervisor Hilda Slise told us the
County of Los Angeles does not have jurisdiction over land
use matters in incorporated cities like City of Industry, but
my office has been proactive in addressing concerns at the lot.
(20:45):
Her office says they've sent outreach workers and alcohol and
drug abuse teams to the site. But Raymond Henderson, who
says he lives in one of the RVs, says, what
you see here is desperation, and many moved into the
campus only after they had been broken into by others
and seem to be abandoned by the RV company.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
They had homeless people coming here. They give you a
piece of paper and tell you to call these numbers.
Did they already know that Celtias is already four? Now
they're about to kick out a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Of people that don't really have nowhere to go.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
So you're gonna be seeing them on every bus stop,
every street corner.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
You're gonna be seeing those people. It sucks.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
A black Series RV is now working through the court
system to get possession of the site and to legally
remove anyone who is there. Of course, they won't be
able to sell those RVs. They are working with companies, however,
that might try to refurbish or salvage them and resell
them themselves. We are live in city.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Now. This story raises a lot of questions with me
that I thought that I kind of understood things, But
I guess I'm just kind of ignorant. Let's go back
to this partcast.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yeah, the city gave us a statement saying the city
does not own the site.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Well, what does that have to do with the price
of eggs and Denmark? Nobody claimed that the city owns
the site. It's a storage facility for this RV dealership.
They own the site. It's private property. Okay, So what
do they say about the private property?
Speaker 6 (22:16):
This is a private trust pass dispute between the property
owners and a private party.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Now, how can it simply be that if it's a
trust pass, that's a violation of local law, perhaps even
state law. So where's law? Where's law enforcement? Where the cops?
And if if the owner of the property and the
(22:41):
owner of the trailers, the dealership is saying, Hey, there's
somebody who's broken into this trailer. In fact, the burglar
happens to still be in there. You want to go
arrest them? No, you see, this is just a trust
pass dispute between you and the But you're a private party,
and well the people that into a private party. Oh
so the people that break into my house are a
(23:04):
private party and it's on private property and I own
the house, So that's just a trespass dispute.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Right.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
No, Now I want to think this is just the
craziness of California. I think it's the craziness of its
homeless people. Now why do I think.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
That the city is working with the property owners and
helping to coordinate cleanup efforts at the site?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, now I'm confused if it's if it's a private
dispute between the property owners a private party, and the
squatters a private party, but yet they burglarize, they've broken
into your private property, and you're claiming that it's not
a lawforce of matter, Then why are you trying to
(23:52):
help coordinate the cleanup of the site. Oh, because when
it comes to the environment, because if you see this video,
the amount of trash is freaking unbelievable. Just mounds of
trash around some of these fairly expensive RVs. I mean,
some of which I would pay that much for an RV,
(24:14):
but then you know, I'm not really an RV person.
But you have to look at the amount of trash, and.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
That County Supervisor hillas Elie told us the County of
Los Angeles does not have jurisdiction over land use matters
in incorporated cities like City of Industry. But my office
has been proactive in addressing concerns at the lot.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
What about law enforcement? Nobody's asking about whether you have
a land use matter. So we've gone from it's a
private trespassing matter, so now it's a land use matter.
What you're claiming that they're that the owners of the
RV dealership are violating the municipal law about zoning by
(24:56):
allowing people to live in your RVs. Well, you're not
allowing people to live at ther RVs. They've broken into
the RVs. It's not a land use matter. But nonetheless, oh,
we're proactive and addressing concerns with the lot.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Really, what do you do in her office is they've
sent outreach workers and.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Ap Oh, you're sending outreach workers and that's special. Weren't
you send cops to arrest the people who have vandalized damage,
broken into it, or squatting on this private property in
these RVs. I mean, I'm looking at a freeze frame
(25:32):
where I just stopped this video, and I can see vandalism, destruction.
There's somebody standing inside one of these RVs. So they're squatting.
They've got blue tarps up, they made a little patio.
There's trash everywhere, and you sent social workers.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Alcohol and drug abuse teams to the site.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Oh so what what are you going to do with
If they're using drugs illegally? Why don't you arrest them?
This is the utter failure of our society to function
as any normal society. This is the destruction of Western civilization,
(26:15):
all right here in an RV part in City of Industry, California.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
But Raymond Henderson, Yeah, well this guy.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
I love this guy. So here's one of the squatters.
Listen to what he has to say.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
He says he lives in one of the RVs, says
what you see here is desperation. And many moved into
the campus only after they had been broken into by others.
And seemed to be abandoned by the RV company.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Oh so you see, we somebody had already broken into it.
So we're just the subsequent burglars. We're just the subsequent criminals.
But his rationale is even better than that.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
He had allless people come in here.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
They give you a piece of paper and tell you
to call these numbers. They already know that such as
is already cool.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Say, the shelter's already full. So this is this is
our only choice. So if you can't afford your mortgage,
just go to City of Industry. Hell Hell's Bells. Look
up on you know, out on West seventy I seventy,
there's all sorts of RV dealerships out there. Just go
move into one of those. Go down you know, south
(27:21):
of Colorado Springs, there's all sorts of RV dealerships down there.
Just go break into one of those. I mean, where's
good as California?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (27:30):
They're about to kick out a lot of people that
don't really have nowhere to go.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
All right, We're gonna kick out a bunch of people
have nowhere to go? And what say, you're.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Gonna be seeing them on every bus stop every street corner.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You're gonna be seeing those people.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
No, you're gonna be seeing these people, and we don't.
You don't want to see these people. So we're gonna
allow them to continue to break the law because we
don't want to see them. It's private trespass. We're gonna
ignore the vandalism. We're gonna ignore the break in. We're
gonna ignore all all the invite We're going to ignore everything.
Sucks to be the RV dealership, doesn't it. Yeah, you see,
(28:08):
owning a private business means you have an obligation to
give your business over to the homeless. Yes, Oh, you
didn't realize that. Huh. Turn them away and see what
happens to you.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Hey, Michael, When I was in high school, say some
thirty years ago, I did a science for a project
with plastic bags that use a corn starch additive to
it so that they would degrade faster once they went
to the trash dum. There are other alternatives of plastic bags.
People just need to use the resources out there to
(28:39):
make them.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
No, we'd rather, we'd rather, Uh, we don't let We
don't allow people to make their own choices. We don't
allow people to go out there and start deciding what
they're going to do and not do. I mean that needs.
Can you imagine if we let people make their own
choices about, you know, where to live, what to draw of,
what to eat, uh, what news to consume, what to say?
(29:06):
I mean, it would be a world of chaos. So
I'm fully on the side of government regulation and government
dictates of telling us it'd be a simpler life. You know,
you go to the grocery store and you're you look
at all the piles of broccoli and you're trying to
pick out the best bunch of broccoli. You go to
(29:29):
the strawberries and you try to pick out the best strawberries.
You go to the you know, you go to the
you go to the chip aisle. Were talked about chips earlier.
Oh my gosh, there's more chips than you can possibly imagine.
We've got too many chips and we and we've got
to reduce the choice in chips in order to make
life easier for people, because the fewer decisions we have
(29:51):
to make, the easier it will be for government to
just direct us in the proper direction. Because once if
somebody gets elected to office, their IQ their intelligence quotion
like it. It's tripled, it's it's squared, it's huge, And
(30:12):
so we'd be better off if we just allowed them
to do that. And besides, we're not taxing enough stuff.
We need to tax more things. You know, I'm a
real I'm very adamant about getting eight hours of sleep
a night, and I know some people can't do it,
but fortunately I can, and I work very hard and
(30:34):
making sure I get a full eight hours of sleep
every night, because sleep is precious. You can go a
lot long without food than you can without sleep. So
in Maryland, they decided, again making a better decision for
you than you should make for yourself, they decide that
they want to tax sleep. Democrats have pushed through House
(30:55):
Bill eight fifty eight. It's a bill that establishes a
mattress stewardship program, and that fantastic. Now, under that bill,
the purpose is to promote safe disposal and recycling of mattresses.
I think they could just ship them out to California
(31:17):
to that RV storage lot, and I'm sure all of
those people would be happy to have a used mattress.
Isn't this is another tax on Marylanders as that state
like Colorado and California just sink into financial turmoil elevated
credit downgrade risks. But they're going to impose a new
(31:39):
six percent tax on mattresses, which is on top of
the existing six percent sales tax. What I wouldn't give
for a six percent sales tax? Have you locked the
sales taxes you pay? Holy crap? Now you can't object
to this, and I would encourage you not to object
to it because it's for the environ They're gonna take
(32:01):
this money and put it into a uh left of
state government. Now they face a three point three billion
dollar budget shortfall of Colorado. We've only got a billion
and a half. But we know that from experience that
getting more money will not close the gap between what
the Democrats confiscate out of your pocketbooks and what they spend. Rather,
(32:22):
it's just going to inspire them to spend even more irresponsibility.
What's next after you know what? Mattress Stewardship? What's going
to be next?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
ALTIL eight fifty eight Mattress Stewardship Program Establishment.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
It's on third reading and final passages. There any debate, unspeaker, Yes.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Something to say to speak?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Yeah? You got something to say. Are you gonna Are
you gonna bitch a moment about this mattress tax
Michael, why is it that the press has to report
things in this manner?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
The poor little.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Palestinians, they don't have any flower left.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
They're tired, they're weary.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Wait a minute, what about the people who got their
families ripped apart, slaughtered, burn alive.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
You name it.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
You must be new here.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I was kind of on his side too, because when
I heard the report, I'm like, well, maybe if you know,
Hamas didn't steal everything that we were trying to give them,
then maybe it would have gone a little bit better.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Well that crossed my mind too, And I mean, the Palestinians
will still go by the flower in the black market
from amas So and we just keep shipping it over
to them.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Remember the pier that we built or the barge or whatever.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, that worked out pretty well done.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
And we did get a lot of trucks that were
every bit of material, food, and service that we sent
them was stolen by Haman.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
You remember, you remember? I know it was a while ago,
but yeah, I vaguely remember that.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
And the pier that we built at the floating barge.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
What you Yeah, I've tried to forget about that one too.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's destroyed. Yeah, gone yep.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Uh. This disappeared in the New York Times on the
twenty fourth and and the headline caught my eye. What
shopping bags should I use? Uh? You can also get
this in and and Uh. You can read it in an
spole on the New York Times website too, which I
found very very unhelpful. Uh. It starts out like this.
(01:47):
With more city, states and countries banning single use plastic bags,
papers become a popular alternative at their grocery checkout. At
first glance this scene, this seems like an obvious wind
for the environment. Plastic bags, after all, are made from
fossil fuels and are a major source of pollution. Now
(02:12):
I'm a little confused by the structure of the sentence.
Plastic bags, after all are made from fossil fuels and
a major source of pollution. So the bags are made
from fossil fuels and from a major source of pollution.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
We'll keep using them if they're eating up all the pollution.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, or plastic bags are made from fossil fuels and
are a major source of pollution. What what?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
The bags are made from pollution, So we are helping
by using them.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
And there's that interpretation too. But then I'm not the
editor for the New York Times, so that's not how
I would have written it. But then the next paragraph,
paper bags, however, are not a better choice blasphemy from
the New York Times, because they write they come with
(03:13):
their own list of environmental caveats, as do their reusable totes.
You know how they're trying to get you out of
your car. They just like people driving cars. They just
don't like people carrying their groceries out in a bag
of any sort. So plastic bags are bad. Paper bags
(03:35):
have their own environmental caveats, and reusable totes also have
problems too. So what are you supposed to do? I
know you're supposed to hire illegal aliens waiting at the
home depot to come over to the grocery store and
take your bags, take your groceries home for you. How
about that? It's hard to make apples comparisons pun intended,
hahaha of different kinds of grocery bags. That's because of
(03:57):
bag's environmental footprint. To depends on a plethora of factors.
How was made, what materials were used, and how far
it was transported in so much more. But the few
thorough studies have been that have been done on the
subject offer some helpful takeaways. Paper bags tend to require
(04:18):
more energy. Now, remember this is March twenty four. We've
heard this before, so why would they start printing well
known information again? Paper bags tend to require more energy
to produce than plastic ones. A twoy eleven study fourteen
(04:41):
years ago by Britain's environmental agency concluded that you'd have
to reuse a paper bag three times, or as Musk
would say, thrice to bring its global warming impact in
line with that of a plastic bag used just once. Okay.
(05:03):
A twenty eighteen study seven years old by Denmark, Well
they're just too busy focused on trying to keep greenland
similarly found that plastic bags made from polyethylene of versatile
and widely used form of plastic, have the smallest environmental
footprint of eight types of grocery bags, including paper ones. Well,
(05:29):
then why the hell are we using plastic bags low
density polyethylene of versatile and widely used form of plastic.
Those plastic bags have the smallest environmental footprint footprint of
eight types of grocery bags, including the paper ones, And
(05:50):
why the hell are we using them. Does the Times
understand what they wrote here? They're justifying the use of
plastic bags discarded bags. According to a British study, what
happens to a bag at the end of its life
contributes very little to global warming. But the question is
(06:11):
still worth thinking about. I mean, that's what they write.
It contributes very little to global warming, but the question
is still worth thinking about. Okay, I thought about it
and I decided that, well, it contributes very little to
global warming. I can have a plastic bag be used
more than one time, so I think I'll go with
the plastic bag. Only about ten percent of plastic bags
(06:32):
in the US get recycled. The recycling rate for that
category includes paper bags. The recycling rate for the category, Oh,
the recycling rate for the category that includes paper bags
is significantly higher forty three percent. Again, they're making the
(06:54):
case to use a paper bag. It still means that
most paper and plastic bags wind up in landfill or
to some degree an incinerator. In landfills, paper bags produce
methane and carbon dioxide, both potent greenhouse gases. Well, why
(07:16):
don't we capture the methane and use it? Why don't
we capture the methane from the degrading plastic bags and
use them for a fuel. Why just vent it out
use it? But a plastic bag in landfill produces neither.
But when plastic escapes into the environment, it can degrade
(07:37):
into macroplastics. They sometimes lasts for centuries. Okay, well, so
what to takeaway on toats now? I found this one
particularly interesting. Reusable totes have surged in popularity as a
way to reduce demand for single use bags. But those
good intentions have backfired because branded toats have become ubiquitous
(08:01):
swag at conferences, company events, and with certain retailers. Oh
you mean like Walmart that sells them. Huh, everybody else
that sells them, whole foods, everybody sells them reusable totes. Well,
if a home accumulates more toats than it could ever use,
that defeats the purpose of reducing overall consumption. Oh so, now,
(08:25):
the purpose is not about the environment. The purpose is
about consumption. We don't want you to consume too much.
There's too much consuming going on. The British study found
that a cotton bag would have to be reused more
than one hundred and thirty one times to reach the
(08:46):
equivalent carbon footprint of just one single use plastic bag.
A daily study put that figure at one hundred and
forty nine times. Why because the toats that you get
at Walmart, Art or Whole Foods or anywhere else, the land,
water and fertilizer required to grow cotton, the energy need
(09:08):
to process the cotton into yarn or other materials, and
the fact that most cotton bags are shipped from China
or India. So seek out re usable bags that are
made in your own country from himp or bamboo. Oh
or use fabric scraps, make your own bag. People have
(09:34):
too much time on their hand to worry about too
much stuff that does not make any difference. Marie Lapin,
the French populist leader, sentenced to jail banned from politics
in a lawfare case. What's going on here? Uh? The
(09:56):
long standing leader Maury Lapin Francis National Rally party she's
leaning in the opinion polls for the presidency, has been
prohibited from participating in any elections for the next five years,
according to a court ruling. Oh so they've got law there.
In the EU two, she was convicted of misusing European
(10:22):
Union funds. She got one hundred thousand dollars fine along
with a political ban. She's also been given a four
year prison sentence, of which two years were suspended, with
the potential option to serve in the remaining time under
a ankle bracelet. The Paris Court's decision came after the
Penn and several associated party personnel were found guilty of
(10:45):
diverting funds meant for EU parliamentary assistance to instead pay
her staff from two thousand and four to twenty sixteen. Now,
according to every report I've read, it's still the law.
I shouldn't say it's the law. It's a regulation. She's spent.
(11:09):
She's been found guilty of fighting a regulation which most
stories say is arcane and is mocked by most other
European countries. Jones Benedict de PERTHEUS who headed the proceeding,
dimmed the actions of a serious and lasting a tackle
and the rules of democratic life both within Europe and France.
No wait a minute, so the EU is doing this
(11:31):
or France is doing this. Well, apparently the EU is
doing it. It impacts her twenty twenty seven run for
the presidency, and despite the conviction, they of course they
denied any wrongdoing. Now it affects a bunch of other
people too. Catherine Grissette got a suspended sentence and an
(11:56):
electoral ban. Lewis Allo sentenced to a part suspended eighteen
month prison sentence. But La Penn is the one that
got the biggest political ban. Huh. Seems the EU is
a little concerned about Lapen remaining what can only be
considered a pivotal figure in French politics. She's made substantially
(12:19):
in roads into the mainstream political landscape over recent years,
and the verdict is the latest case of lawfare against
populist parties, not just Lapen but others and French voters
like they're going to descend against the idea that a
rogue judge can rule candidates ineligible for office. We elected
(12:40):
a felon, so I bet the Penn still runs. But
it just goes to show that, guess what, lawfare occurs
everywhere and investigations underway because in my other state, in
(13:04):
New Mexico, there's been an arson attack on the Republican
Party headquarters in Albuquerque early Sunday morning, causes substantial damage
to the front entryway, smoke damage throughout the building, The
Albuquerque Fire Department responded to the incident just before six
in the morning. They brought the fire into control within
(13:24):
five minutes. No casualties reported. The Republican Party of New
Mexico has condemned the attack. Amy Burrell, who's the chairwoman,
characterized it as a deliberate active arson also included messages
spray painted on the premises, including the phrase ICE Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement equals the KKK. Did you know that? Yeah,
(13:49):
the ICE Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is apparently burning crosses.
They're making up nooses and they are hanging illegal aliens
all across the country in these ceremonies in the middle
of the night, big crosses burning. They got their white
(14:10):
hoods on. You may think they just wear their uniform,
but they don't. They've got ice, you know, white gowns
and capes that they wear. They got their white sheets
on and they're going around and they're deah, they're hanging people.
No they're not, but ice equals KKK. That's the best
(14:34):
they got now. Interestingly, the Democrat Party in New Mexico
issued a statement condemning the attack, emphasizing that those actions
have no place in a democratic society and stressing the
importance of peaceful dialogue to address our political differences. And
(14:54):
the Democrat Party in New Mexico expressed hope that the
perpetrator would be swiftly apprehended and held liable for their actions. Now,
I did a little quick search, and I couldn't find
where the Democrat Party of New Mexico has condemned the
attacks on Tesla, either the company at the dealerships or
(15:20):
on their infrastructure like they're charging stations, or on cars
that other people have bought. Why not? Why why don't
you condemn that too. In other news, the President of the
United States has decided that he signed an executive order
(15:42):
to end collective bargaining with federal unions in any agency
that is involved in national security. Now it uses authority
from the Civil Service Reform Act of nineteen seventy eight.
So the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, National
Science Foundation, the Coastguard DHS, the Department of Justice, Department
(16:06):
of State, Department of Energy, and others can no longer unionize.
One more good thing. Just keep on keeping keep on,
keep on trucking. Trump, Just keep on trucking.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Mike everybody knows that a plastic bag has a life
cycle of three uses.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Number one it carries your groceries. Number two it carries lunch.
Number three it carries used cat letter.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
And number four it can carry dog poop. So the
third one can be used for catletter or for dog poop.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Whenever they you were talking about earlier about the number
of uses that a bag gets and everything, and you know,
use this paper bag versus this plastic bag versus this tote.
I always remember, back in the day, there was a
chip company, a Freedo La. It's a very small company,
but they tried with their off brand sunships to create
(17:15):
a biodegradable chip bag.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
I don't remember this.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
And it worked. It worked well, but it was only
in production for year and a half. No, no, it
was too loud. Consumers did not like the chip bag. Seriously,
you open it up, they would crinkle and just make
too much noise. So they canceled it.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
So noise pollution is more important than plastic pollution.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, they they lost about eleven percent of their sales
in that run of those bioscopical bags.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
In other news, to prove that the it'll be here soon.
This story happens to be from k c AL out
of the CBS affiliate in Los Angeles, but it will
soon come to Colorado two and I would just urge
all RV dealerships to be aware of this story if
(18:19):
you're not already. It's well, it's kind of funny, but
it's kind of pathetic too. These are homeless encampments we've
ever seen. Dozens of people have broken into and moved
into a storage yard full of brand new luxury RVs.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
The lot is in the City of the Industry, near
the corner of Gael and Zeusa Avenues. Tonight Cakew's Lori
Paris joins us Live with the story. Lauri Well Susian one,
You're right. We have seen encampments all across La County,
but this is one of the most astounding. What we
saw today was a busy and active community of people
(18:59):
living in a parking lot full of RVs that do
not belong to them. Skycow video of the lot, near
the corner of Gale and Azuza Avenues in City of
Industry shows dozens of RVs with people appearing to live
in them. Outdoor furniture and belongings in the yards like
any neighborhood, except this isn't a neighborhood. It's the storage
(19:23):
lot of a company called Black Series RV, and this
is their overflow stock of luxury campers that sell for
forty to one hundred grand.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We've noticed that several of the trainers have been burning.
Like I said, there's homeless here, probably sometimes late at night.
They're coming in and out.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Workers like Marilyn Martinez, who works nearby, say a city
of squatters started taking over months ago, massive piles of
trash and debris piling up. The RV company says trespassers
are now living in at least fifty of their campers.
They tried using security teams to retrieve them, but say
the few they recovered were trashed. Other times they gave
(20:05):
up fearing for their safety. Martina says she and her
co workers walk in pairs to their cars.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Well, some things it is kind of dark, you know.
We do have the cross every year, and it's like
we have to be watching our backs, especially as girls.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Yeah, the city gave us a statement saying the city does.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Not own the site.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
This is a private trespass dispute between the property owners
and a private party. The city is working with the
property owners in helping to coordinate clean up efforts at
the site, and County Supervisor Hilda Slise told us the
County of Los Angeles does not have jurisdiction over land
use matters in incorporated cities like City of Industry, but
my office has been proactive in addressing concerns at the lot.
(20:45):
Her office says they've sent outreach workers and alcohol and
drug abuse teams to the site. But Raymond Henderson, who
says he lives in one of the RVs, says, what
you see here is desperation, and many moved into the
campus only after they had been broken into by others
and seem to be abandoned by the RV company.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
They had homeless people coming here. They give you a
piece of paper and tell you to call these numbers.
Did they already know that Celtias is already four? Now
they're about to kick out a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Of people that don't really have nowhere to go.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
So you're gonna be seeing them on every bus stop,
every street corner.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
You're gonna be seeing those people. It sucks.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
A black Series RV is now working through the court
system to get possession of the site and to legally
remove anyone who is there. Of course, they won't be
able to sell those RVs. They are working with companies, however,
that might try to refurbish or salvage them and resell
them themselves. We are live in city.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Now. This story raises a lot of questions with me
that I thought that I kind of understood things, But
I guess I'm just kind of ignorant. Let's go back
to this partcast.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yeah, the city gave us a statement saying the city
does not own the site.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Well, what does that have to do with the price
of eggs and Denmark? Nobody claimed that the city owns
the site. It's a storage facility for this RV dealership.
They own the site. It's private property. Okay, So what
do they say about the private property?
Speaker 6 (22:16):
This is a private trust pass dispute between the property
owners and a private party.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Now, how can it simply be that if it's a
trust pass, that's a violation of local law, perhaps even
state law. So where's law? Where's law enforcement? Where the cops?
And if if the owner of the property and the
(22:41):
owner of the trailers, the dealership is saying, Hey, there's
somebody who's broken into this trailer. In fact, the burglar
happens to still be in there. You want to go
arrest them? No, you see, this is just a trust
pass dispute between you and the But you're a private party,
and well the people that into a private party. Oh
so the people that break into my house are a
(23:04):
private party and it's on private property and I own
the house, So that's just a trespass dispute.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Right.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
No, Now I want to think this is just the
craziness of California. I think it's the craziness of its
homeless people. Now why do I think.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
That the city is working with the property owners and
helping to coordinate cleanup efforts at the site?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, now I'm confused if it's if it's a private
dispute between the property owners a private party, and the
squatters a private party, but yet they burglarize, they've broken
into your private property, and you're claiming that it's not
a lawforce of matter, Then why are you trying to
(23:52):
help coordinate the cleanup of the site. Oh, because when
it comes to the environment, because if you see this video,
the amount of trash is freaking unbelievable. Just mounds of
trash around some of these fairly expensive RVs. I mean,
some of which I would pay that much for an RV,
(24:14):
but then you know, I'm not really an RV person.
But you have to look at the amount of trash, and.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
That County Supervisor hillas Elie told us the County of
Los Angeles does not have jurisdiction over land use matters
in incorporated cities like City of Industry. But my office
has been proactive in addressing concerns at the lot.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
What about law enforcement? Nobody's asking about whether you have
a land use matter. So we've gone from it's a
private trespassing matter, so now it's a land use matter.
What you're claiming that they're that the owners of the
RV dealership are violating the municipal law about zoning by
(24:56):
allowing people to live in your RVs. Well, you're not
allowing people to live at ther RVs. They've broken into
the RVs. It's not a land use matter. But nonetheless, oh,
we're proactive and addressing concerns with the lot.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Really, what do you do in her office is they've
sent outreach workers and.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Ap Oh, you're sending outreach workers and that's special. Weren't
you send cops to arrest the people who have vandalized damage,
broken into it, or squatting on this private property in
these RVs. I mean, I'm looking at a freeze frame
(25:32):
where I just stopped this video, and I can see vandalism, destruction.
There's somebody standing inside one of these RVs. So they're squatting.
They've got blue tarps up, they made a little patio.
There's trash everywhere, and you sent social workers.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Alcohol and drug abuse teams to the site.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Oh so what what are you going to do with
If they're using drugs illegally? Why don't you arrest them?
This is the utter failure of our society to function
as any normal society. This is the destruction of Western civilization,
(26:15):
all right here in an RV part in City of Industry, California.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
But Raymond Henderson, Yeah, well this guy.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
I love this guy. So here's one of the squatters.
Listen to what he has to say.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
He says he lives in one of the RVs, says
what you see here is desperation. And many moved into
the campus only after they had been broken into by others.
And seemed to be abandoned by the RV company.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
Oh so you see, we somebody had already broken into it.
So we're just the subsequent burglars. We're just the subsequent criminals.
But his rationale is even better than that.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
He had allless people come in here.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
They give you a piece of paper and tell you
to call these numbers. They already know that such as
is already cool.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Say, the shelter's already full. So this is this is
our only choice. So if you can't afford your mortgage,
just go to City of Industry. Hell Hell's Bells. Look
up on you know, out on West seventy I seventy,
there's all sorts of RV dealerships out there. Just go
move into one of those. Go down you know, south
(27:21):
of Colorado Springs, there's all sorts of RV dealerships down there.
Just go break into one of those. I mean, where's
good as California?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (27:30):
They're about to kick out a lot of people that
don't really have nowhere to go.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
All right, We're gonna kick out a bunch of people
have nowhere to go? And what say, you're.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Gonna be seeing them on every bus stop every street corner.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You're gonna be seeing those people.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
No, you're gonna be seeing these people, and we don't.
You don't want to see these people. So we're gonna
allow them to continue to break the law because we
don't want to see them. It's private trespass. We're gonna
ignore the vandalism. We're gonna ignore the break in. We're
gonna ignore all all the invite We're going to ignore everything.
Sucks to be the RV dealership, doesn't it. Yeah, you see,
(28:08):
owning a private business means you have an obligation to
give your business over to the homeless. Yes, Oh, you
didn't realize that. Huh. Turn them away and see what
happens to you.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Hey, Michael, When I was in high school, say some
thirty years ago, I did a science for a project
with plastic bags that use a corn starch additive to
it so that they would degrade faster once they went
to the trash dum. There are other alternatives of plastic bags.
People just need to use the resources out there to
(28:39):
make them.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
No, we'd rather, we'd rather, Uh, we don't let We
don't allow people to make their own choices. We don't
allow people to go out there and start deciding what
they're going to do and not do. I mean that needs.
Can you imagine if we let people make their own
choices about, you know, where to live, what to draw of,
what to eat, uh, what news to consume, what to say?
(29:06):
I mean, it would be a world of chaos. So
I'm fully on the side of government regulation and government
dictates of telling us it'd be a simpler life. You know,
you go to the grocery store and you're you look
at all the piles of broccoli and you're trying to
pick out the best bunch of broccoli. You go to
(29:29):
the strawberries and you try to pick out the best strawberries.
You go to the you know, you go to the
you go to the chip aisle. Were talked about chips earlier.
Oh my gosh, there's more chips than you can possibly imagine.
We've got too many chips and we and we've got
to reduce the choice in chips in order to make
life easier for people, because the fewer decisions we have
(29:51):
to make, the easier it will be for government to
just direct us in the proper direction. Because once if
somebody gets elected to office, their IQ their intelligence quotion
like it. It's tripled, it's it's squared, it's huge, And
(30:12):
so we'd be better off if we just allowed them
to do that. And besides, we're not taxing enough stuff.
We need to tax more things. You know, I'm a
real I'm very adamant about getting eight hours of sleep
a night, and I know some people can't do it,
but fortunately I can, and I work very hard and
(30:34):
making sure I get a full eight hours of sleep
every night, because sleep is precious. You can go a
lot long without food than you can without sleep. So
in Maryland, they decided, again making a better decision for
you than you should make for yourself, they decide that
they want to tax sleep. Democrats have pushed through House
(30:55):
Bill eight fifty eight. It's a bill that establishes a
mattress stewardship program, and that fantastic. Now, under that bill,
the purpose is to promote safe disposal and recycling of mattresses.
I think they could just ship them out to California
(31:17):
to that RV storage lot, and I'm sure all of
those people would be happy to have a used mattress.
Isn't this is another tax on Marylanders as that state
like Colorado and California just sink into financial turmoil elevated
credit downgrade risks. But they're going to impose a new
(31:39):
six percent tax on mattresses, which is on top of
the existing six percent sales tax. What I wouldn't give
for a six percent sales tax? Have you locked the
sales taxes you pay? Holy crap? Now you can't object
to this, and I would encourage you not to object
to it because it's for the environ They're gonna take
(32:01):
this money and put it into a uh left of
state government. Now they face a three point three billion
dollar budget shortfall of Colorado. We've only got a billion
and a half. But we know that from experience that
getting more money will not close the gap between what
the Democrats confiscate out of your pocketbooks and what they spend. Rather,
(32:22):
it's just going to inspire them to spend even more irresponsibility.
What's next after you know what? Mattress Stewardship? What's going
to be next?
