he's been busy starting new businesses outsideof Samber Nadino and Samberg Nadino and Riverside

Yeah, take that Riverside, justlike you take our water for free punks.
All right, all right, allright, we got this is so
important team. This is a surveyfor our parks www dot mysb parks dot
com and it's for the future masterplan of our parks. So it takes

(09:41):
some time to fill this out.Team, but go to our you know,
go to our website. Fill thisout and then it's a little bit
more deep than just saying I wantthe homeless out of the parks, or
the park is dirty, or thebathrooms are never open. Right, well,
those are three things right. Ourpark are so much more than that,
and it needs like our personal touchfor the people that work at this

(10:09):
city to understand. Oh wait,people want Sam Bernardino want this. They
don't want what we want in OrangeCounty. They may like some of the
things we like in Orange County,which is cool and bring them here.
Cool. Well, I love that, but what would we want? So
this is how this helped brings thatout. What's the website ww dot my
sp parks dot com, right,so we can go right there or go

(10:31):
to this SB city and it willhave a link to it from the parks
and Rex page. So this isin Spanish, shoe if you would you
like to read in Spanish there seego ahead. No, So this is
stomachs likes Eat our website, thatmy parks, my sp parks, that's

(10:52):
m y Emmy Greg s b Requethe seed giving it the because they were
studying in and Seuspodacus. All right, so for for this is for everybody,
and I'm sure if you you neededto do it in another language.
Lady Gutfield Director Gutfaeld make it possible. She really wants a lot of people

(11:16):
to so she can say, hey, I have data, this is what
people want. Not we have fifteenpeople who filled out the survey. That
is not representative. I mean itwouldn't even show up on a scale really,
So we really need to participate inthese things. Every time we do
a survey or something right doing agreat job, and your crew has been

(11:39):
doing the same thing right surveys.I think I'll filled out at least for
surveys or something from your team,right, So it's important to have the
data to be able to get thegrants and things like that. Right,
So community input is super important.Yes, do it team, please please?
Okay? Now we also have acertifies farmers market. It is every

(12:03):
Tuesday eight am to one pm.And if one more person tells me it's
not the right time and doesn't maketheir own farmer's market, what is going
on? Right? You tell meI don't like this farmer's market because I
have to go to work, Well, oh you have to go work.

(12:24):
Do you work on the weekends,because we could have a Farmer's mark on
the weekend if you set it up. You know what, We get so
many naysayers that poo poop good stuffbecause they can't go or it doesn't fit
their schedule. Well, what aboutthe people that work downtown? What about
the seniors in our city that wouldlike to be able to go to something

(12:46):
during the day and not a night. I mean, this is for everybody.
Team, If you really wanted togo to this, guess what,
take the day off bam, andyou can go and enjoy the Farmer's market
with everybody else. I haven't evenbeen there, but I've been supporting every
time. I've always been running intothings. But I tend to find if

(13:09):
you go to the event in thebeginning, that's when they get all the
coverage right. So if I goto events three or four into it,
then it's like additional coverage for theevent to help it give it a little
more bounce again, because I thinkthis will need some help. Team.
I have been a part of alot of farmers markets a Samondino too,
well, not a lot, butthat's too. Yeah, and they didn't

(13:30):
do they didn't last. Now oneof the things that we could do,
Robert, is we could actually puta post on Facebook that a poll.
You know, how many of youguys knew about the farmer's market in Samarandino
and what day would you guys likeus to host it? Saturday or Sunday?
So look out for that, likefor future ideas too. I'm sure

(13:56):
like there's no reason if this workedout like they couldn't do a sad absolutely,
so this is awesome. Thank youfor bringing that to our attention.
Team Saronia Parks and Rec and doinggood work, good, very good work
on that note, Robert, forthe San Bernardino Parks and w REC.
Let's talk about really quick November eighteenth. That is November eighteenth and Sharerill's Park

(14:20):
over on California that's in the Muscowarea. That is the community dump day.
So if you guys have your trash, hold on to it and bring
it down to the park and getit disposed for free. Does it belong
on the side of the road orin a field? No, Well,
that's the whole thing. You know, all of these all of these activities

(14:41):
and All of these items are onour personal website, So if you guys
were to go there, you guyscould see what days you guys could dump
your electronics, your trash days,and for free, free, and you
don't have to dirty up the alleys. Sometimes I do wonder if that it's
not people from Redlands or around here. Oh wait, we're in Redlands.

(15:05):
I'm like, no, Sometimes itfeels like there's people from out of our
area dumping trash, right, Ihope, Like I know, when we
were in Indio and I do andarchaeology out there every you know, occasionally
we'd be going down in some sidestreet and onto a private property, we're
dumping a curd, and there'd bea higher ritual, you know, before

(15:26):
we even parked, actually getting usout of the car, checking the backs.
Right, Why can't we have somethinglike that here? Right? We're
like, you know, we systematicallyreally go after people dumping trash, and
what if it is a big corporation, we could sue them big time.
I'm talking DNA testing DNA several piecesof trash in each piece, find out

(15:52):
a commonality, go do an investigation, charge that person for the DNA testing
and the case and you know,everything to do with it. Well,
remember three years ago, a lotof people on the I Love Samber Nadino
group page used to actually post photosof illegal dumps, and I think it

(16:12):
slowed it down quite. You know, well, we should stably start doing
that more often. But the city, I have to give it, the
city has been doing good picking thisstuff up. Absolutely, But you know,
we gotta be vigilant. Team.We gotta be vigilant against an asayers,
but also support the good, youknow, the people that are working
hard to do all this stuff.So good stuff. All right, I

(16:34):
was I'm gonna read this anyway becauseit's awesome. But you know, we
got some other things, some historyon Halloween and tato smartos, but I
want to read this little bit ofAerowhead Springs history. Such a beautiful history.
Doctor David Nobel Smith established a treatmenthouse at the Arrowhead Springs. By
eighteen sixty eight, it had beenenlarged to create a hotel. In eighteen

(16:59):
eighty five, Elisa property to Derbyand Lineman of Los Angeles. Three days
after Smith's death, on March seventeenth, eighteen eighty five, the hotel burnt
down. The big hugemagine out ofthe Arrowhead burnt down, that place was
haunted. Derby and Liman incorporated theArrowhead hot Springs Company and rebuilt a new
hotel in eighteen eighty six for onehundred and fifty thousand dollars. That's pretty

(17:22):
cheap. After it was expanded toone hundred and twenty rooms, it was
the largest hotel in the San Bernardinoarea until it too burnt down on July
fourth, eighteen ninety five. Becauseit's hanted. Yeah, why do you
think it burned down on July fourth? Guess you gotta get got on fire

(17:44):
fireworks right fourth of July. It'sthe way you phrased the question, Robert
the Third. The third Hotel wasby Seth Marshall in nineteen oh five and
nineteen thirty. It was purchased bya consortium of Hollywood types in the day
before air travel. It was marketedto the Hollywood stars like Loretta Young,
Mary Pickford, Spency Tracy, andHumphrey Bogart. A forest fire destroyed the

(18:07):
Third Hotel in November nineteen thirty eight. The present structure the fourth Hotel opened
December nineteen thirty nine at a costof one point five million. At this
time the hotel with six stories andthe grand opening featured Judy Garland, Al
Jolson and Rudy Vaya vay yee vyYe. However, World War two caused

(18:30):
a hotel to be taken over asa naval hospital. Now at this point,
my aunt remembered stories from there becausethey knew there was a bunch of
hunky guys up there Arrowhead Springs Hotel. And during this time it was all
the rage you wanted a military man, right, so they were, you
know, they were very interested inwhat was going on up there at the

(18:52):
Arrowhead Spring. Well, Norton wason and poppin' right, So we had
all the military bases here, youknow, fully occupied. And there was
a lot of housing there too,which now is actually housed by what Amazon.
Yeah, yes, that was alot of housing down there too,
and that was a smart move bySam and Well too, Like I know
the story about that. Like myfriend back in the day, Will Jensen

(19:17):
had like the US government made ithard for Sam and Well to buy that
property, and they gave him likethis timeline of literally like a day to
fill out the paperwork and get itturned in. So they had him fly
out overnight to Washington, d C. And you got all that property worked
out. Wow, some really coolstuff, like you learn a little bit,

(19:38):
you know, growing up in thein the area. But so so
when's the reopening of the hotel thathad to go on hold for COVID.
It slowed down with you know,they do have a new roof and things
like that. They do whole gallasand thing events there. But but it
still needs a lot of work.I mean, when you when you renovate
something historically, I mean it takesSalmon Will kind of money. And and

(20:03):
even you know, even samon Willdoesn't always have Samuel kind of money.
They have all these other responsibilities andpays they got to do. So that's
a lot of work. But Ihave a I have a good confidence that
that place is going to represent Samoryardinoand Salmon Well for a long time to
come. So that's awesome. Thegood history of the Airhead Springs Hotel,
all right, you have some incredibleHalloween history over there, I do.

(20:30):

I do see us ascending the phoenixout of the fire. Like there these
nice areas of sand Ordino that wereshady, that are a looked nicer for
the next la. There's good chime, there's good there's good possibilities for us.

(22:22):
All right, go go go forit. Yeah, let's talk Halloween.
Today's Halloween customs are thought to beto have been influenced by folks by
folk custom and beliefs from the Celticsspeaking countries, some of which are believed
to have pagan roots. Jack Sentinoof folklorist right, there was thorough ireland

(22:42):
and unease truth existing between customs andbeliefs associated with Christianity and those associated with
religion that were Irish before Christianity arrived. The Oranges Halloween customs are typically linked
to the Gaelic festival Samheim. Ithink it's called sol when when when Selwyn

(23:10):
completely crazy weird? Yeah yeah,I had looked at it myself. I
didn't know either. One more time, what is it saw When is one
of the quarter days in the medievalGaelic calendar and has been celebrated on October
thirty first through November one and Ireland, Scotland and the Island Man a Kindred

(23:30):
festival has been held by the BrittonicCells Celtics called kaelin gayofs oh Man.
This is some hard, some course, but it's just showing this has got
deep roots in our history. Man, it's something they just made candy from.
Right. Well, I'm glad yougave him the paper. We'll read

(23:56):
the last paragraph. Read the lastparagraph from Sambordino. You're taking a bullet
for yeah. So. Throughout Irelandand Britain, especially in the Celtic speaking
regions, the household festivities included divinationrituals and games intended to foretel one's future

(24:21):
special regarding death and marriage. Applesand nuts were often used, and customs
include apple bobbing, nut roasting,scrying. At least it wasn't nut bobbing.
I feel like an you stay nutbombing on the radio. Yeah,
I feel like I'm just gonna tothe next paragua so and or mirror gazing,

(24:49):
right, pouring molten lead or eggwhites into water dream interpretation to the
egg white thing someone who's been doingthat on out of the sambordino. I
hope you're watching. I want didyou to see this? And they're asking
like, did did you see aface in there or something? I let
her post it. I didn't seeit. I didn't see your face,
but like maybe if you know that. I don't know anyways, And that's

(25:11):
why I come to the dream interpretationreally quick. Yes, please please,
because my wife will wake up andshe'll say I'm mad at you, and
I'm like, what I do?Good morning? I just sleep dream you
left me? And she said no, and I'm like, okay, I
guess. So I think the interpretationis still happening. I mean you can

(25:33):
tell when you're having anxiety like crunchingyour teeth or Keith falling out things like
that, you know, or fallingor going to school naked or or not
missing a test, and you're like, I'm over you guys are gonna have
to switch sides. Yeah, Soran special bonfires were lit and there were

(25:57):
rituals involving them. They're flaing smokeand ashes were deemed to have protective and
cleansing powers. In some places,torches lit from the bonfires were carried sunwise
around the home and fields to protectthem. It is suggested that the fires
were kind of imitative or sympathetic magic. They mimic the sun and held back

(26:19):
the decay and darkness of winter.They were also used for diminition and to
ward off evil spirits. In Scotland, these bonfires and divinition games were banned
by the church elders. In someparishes and whales, bonfires were also lit
to prevent the souls of the deadfrom falling to earth. Later. These

(26:41):
bonfires kept away the devil. Iknow them as a mating ritual with my
wife, I'll all joking, yeah, yeah, well, I mean if
you wanted to conceive on Halloween,and how many kids you guys gonna have,
like since one just six kids,So they both came from families,

(27:03):
you know. But like it's interestingthat in those those bonfires and stuff eventually
led to they would actually put upturn ups, you know, uh,
and and make faces on the turnups they would. And then when they
got here they didn't have a lotof turn ups. They had you know,
jack jad squash, right, sothey used jack and then the bonfire,

(27:26):
putting the fire inside so to wardoff the devil or evil spirits.
So it's kind of like, oh, that's interesting now, like it kind
of like formed because it's before it'sall hollows evil or before All Saints Day.
Now, All Saints Day is ais a very important part of religious

(27:48):
groups. It's like Catholics and othersin Christianity, right, but also it's
uh been adopted by other countries andcultures. Right. So we have a
thing called Diadelos Morto's right in Mexico, and some of the aspects are attributed
to indigenous cultural rights of the Aztecsor the local native groups down there.

(28:14):
Some of them is attributed to aformer president who wanted to make sure that
there was national pride, and soit's now become this mixture in Mexico of
a little bit of all of that. Then it flowed here to San Berdandino
or to California and United States,right, so we have that same kind

(28:36):
of thing. So we have alittle bit of the history right here at
Rossio as so Rossio Aguile and Robertjust mentioned the others mortos and it's a
holiday traditionally celebrated on November first andsecond, and other days like Halloween or
November sixth, and it just dependson the place. It's widely observed in

(28:57):
Mexico, where it is largely developed, and other places of Mexican heritage.
Although related to the simultaneous Christian remembrancesof Hollow Tide That's a cool name,
it has much less solemn tone andis portrayed as a holiday of joyful celebration
rather than morning. Some argue thatthere is indigenous Mexican or ancient Aztec influences

(29:22):
that account for the custom, andit has become a way to remember those
forebearers of Mexican culture. Traditions connectedwith the holiday include honoring the deceased using
caraveras marigold flowers known as sambasutil buildinghome altars called alfrindas with the favorite foods
and beverages of the departed, andvisiting graves with these items as gifts for

(29:47):
the deceased. The celebration is notsolely focused on the dead, and as
it is also common to give giftsto the friends, such as candy sugar
skulls. To share traditional band martowith family and friends, and to write
lighthearted and often irrevent versus in theform of mock epitaphs. I don't know
what that is, but dedicated toliving friends and acquaintances a literal a literary

(30:12):
form known as gala veras. That'swhat they write on a gravestone. Okay,
so mocked ones like fake ones.And just to shout out the Parks
and Rec Department, they're putting onevent November fourth, from eleven to five
pm at Court Street Square. They'regoing to have a beer garden, performances,

(30:37):
artisans, food vendors, music,a car show, and and that's

(30:59):

(32:53):
So he's actually the one that thatwith with with his team that directs
you all through the whole web ofcity offices all over. So we appreciate
what you do, dude, andthank you for loving I love Samonadino and
he is the strength behind I LoveSamonardino TV. So that's his little ankle

(33:14):
in our little crew. So Iappreciate you. Oja nice you are.
And that was brought to you byBen Chabas from First Site Services and they
are a group that actually connects constructionworkers with big jobs. So theyre back
and forth. And he's wanted todo something good in the communities from Sameronnardino

(33:35):
and he doesn't sell directly to thepublic, so this is his way of
helping. That's incredible And I amgoing to bring up a new segment team,
the San Bernardino Business of the Week. I'm trying to find a sponsor
of it. The sponsor will itwill be one hundred dollars for a month,
and we'll pick four businesses a month, so it'll be twenty five dollars
per show. You will mention yourbusiness for sure every single time, and

(34:00):
then we also will you know,go over different businesses like Rose, Marias
or whatever and bring them out forthe week. So it's just another aspect.
And you know you gotta pay forthese shows, right, yeah,
I figure out how to do itright, and that means you have to
ask for sponsors and asking for sponsorsit's hard. I don't want to pay
for these shows out of my ownpocket. It's hard. I'm poor,

(34:22):
i am rich. So if youcan help sponsor a show, let me
know. And this would be agreat opportunity. I have twenty five dollars
a show. It's nothing, right, nothing, Now why we brought when
you tell them Rose, why areyou on the show today? So I'm
here today because Robert asked me totalk about the March election and who is
on the ballot. And I've donea lot of different campaigns since I was

(34:45):
fifteen, and so has Bernard.So it's so it's Trump on the ballot.
Oh, oh, you mean,I mean city wide. It is
a president So they were discussing whetherthey would get you know, kick them
off of it today. So youknow, who knows over there in Colorado.
We'll see it is a presidential election. If you kind of if you

(35:07):
engage in insurrection, it is apossibility that might not be voted on by
people. But I don't know,I don't know. We'll see. But
at the end of the day,we know local politics though. But like
you know, I just played withyou guys, all right, so local,
yes, local. So we haveone, two, three, four

(35:28):
races, four seats for four seats. Huh. So the mayor it was
last year, right, first ward, second ward and fourth ward are taken
care of, So now we gotfor the third ward. What do we
have? So for the third ward, it's just two right now, it's
Juan figure out who is the incumbent, and then Christian Shaughnessy. So I'll

(35:51):
talk Aboutjuant a little bit and thenBernard will share a little bit about Christian.
Okay, So this is unbiased.This is based off of what I
found for there were websites, Okay, so I appreciate that Juan is a
lifelong Samardino resident. He grew upin the Third Ward and his parents and
grandparents also did. He went tocal State Samardino for his bachelor's and master's

(36:13):
degree. He is a medical socialworker, empowering patients and helping families to
get the resources they need for medicalcare. He started a clothing donation program
for needy hospital patients. He's beena neighborhood leader and he's the previous president
of the Amtrak Neighborhood Association, formerboard member with the Neighborhood Association Council,

(36:35):
and he used to host neighborhood blockcleanups to remove blte sorry and then he
has also done community cleanups at LytleCreek Park, hosted the first local community
Hoho Parade, tutored Samardino Valley Collegestudents, and co hosted a backpack donation
for children's back to school and sponsoredthis show after the election. Do you

(37:00):
want to add anything? That's oneaspect of how you look at it first,
like how do they treat a situation? Are they gonna get something out
of it? Are they really tryingto help you? And that's with everything,
especially with politicians, you got tolook at what their intentions are.
Have you not seen this person?Have you never heard their name before?

(37:23):
And then they're running for office,so they have a lot of catching up
to do with me. Because evenif you only went to one or two
events in San Ronadino all year long, I would still probably see you and
know who you are. So ifI don't know your name on here,
you got a lot of work todo, and it's easy to reach out
to Robert. Yeah. So likethe fact that one would do that.

(37:45):
At the end, very good.Now, Christian, I'll say something after
his Okay, So Christian Shaughnessy isrunning against the incumbitement. One figure out
really quick though, how many termshas one served too? A partial term?
And so he was elected in twentynineteen, first special election in twenty

(38:06):
twenty want to replace Valdivia? Yeah, okay, all right, Well,

(42:20):
you talk about Chess Kelly. Okay, Chess Kelly. I'm a former council
member for the city of San Fernandino. Had some problems with finances in his
campaign with his wife. I thinkhe pled guilty to those charges. It
was a big scandal in the cityof San Bernardino, involving Wendy mccamick and

(42:45):
Scott Beard and all weird as JohnPenman, Jim Penman, you know,
weird things like microphones on on onyour shirts. Like it's pretty extreme.
But like lately, that's past.He's done his time. He served his

(43:06):
he did his time right. Ifhe wants to come back and try something
new, I say, go forit. He has been involved when they
wanted to do some things over intoboard at the community center there, he
stood up and tried to protect that. That's the last time I think I
saw him. I wish him luck. You know, Drew's out in the
race and the other person is KimNass. She's a community leader who was

of other groups. And then shesits on the board for Habitat for Humanity,
uh SEEM, the Community Action Partnership, and always serves on the California

(45:22):
League of Cities representing our city.She does a lot well, I didn't
have a brain fart, like whenI listened to one of because something made
sense politically that didn't make sense before. All right, it's weird how that
thing happens when you hear where whenpeople where they worked or were they board

(45:43):
board team. They do have influenceas well to have witness your a fiphany
like like it doesn't happen often whereI get an actual new piece of information.
I got stuff in there and likeadd it in there, throw in
the back pocket. So there's onlyone other opponent that's bj Simms. He
is a passionate leader dedicated to bridgein the gap between generations, classes,

(46:07):
and cultural bj comes from Chicago,right, a transplant, but relocated to
Sanmernino, where he's been a residentfor the last ten years. Pastor at
Kingdom Culture Warship Center and Samarino Uhdemonstrates and wavering commitments of the community.
But also a father, right Heand his wife Jessica Simms are parents to

(46:30):
five children. I believe he's alsoa Public Safety and Human Relations commissioner.
Yes, yes, the City ofSamardhina. All right, into the seventh
word? Is that all for?That's all right now for yes, that's
it for the second Okay, thisis the last race here, although we
were doing a good time, andthen we can talk a little bit,
talk a little bit about you've gotsix people here teams. Oh yeah,

(46:51):
I'll start with the incumbent, DamonAlexander. He was he has an mp
A. I'm a commissioner and heis my account. Do you love mister
Alexander very much? So? Hejust he's wrapping up his first term and
he was a chairman for the PublicSafety and Human Relations Commissioned before the Citizens

(47:13):
Advisory Committee on Marijuana as well asthe president of the North End Neighborhood Association.
Are you part of that community?I have been on there, but
I agree they listened to doctor Hill. Anyway. He was born and raised
in Pasadena, and he graduated fromthe University of Laverne with a Bachelor of
Science and Political Science. And healso graduated from Harvard University Leadership Institute and

(47:37):
the US Marine Corps Leadership Academy isa Marine thank you for your service,
sir. He serves as an alternatefor the Sanmardino County Transit Authority, and
he was a founder for the Presidentof the one hundred Black Men of the
Inland Empire. And he's a formertwenty fifth District Commander Samarino County of the

(48:00):
American Legion, a member of Omega'sSci Fi Fraternity and our board of Directors,
on the board of Directors for theSamardino Symphony Orchestra. And he also
helps the Turkey Trot every year.Yes, yes, yes, we're gonna
be on our ninth year on perit's this Thanksgiving, so you register at
sp Turkey Trot dot com. AndI will be MC this year and I

(48:23):
will have my new MC co hostwith me. A local youth that does
a lot of us singing in ourcommunity is national anthems, so we can
tell you a little about that inthe future. All right, this is
gonna be fun stuff. So wegot of course, Damon Alexander. He
is a good man. He hasworked hard in our area. He is

(48:45):
run into the same issues that everypolitician runs into. And their award is
money is not you know, everywhere, so it gets concentrated and moved around,
and you don't always get everything youwant. But I think he's done
a good job. And I ampresident of the Vunci Neighborhood Association and he
has made an effort to come tomy meetings. So I do appreciate him

(49:07):
very much. And I like howhe says I in the city meetings,
you know, says that he alwayssays sexy too. All right, all
right, we'll talk about Treasure realquick. What can I say a treasure
we So we grabbed some stuff fromher website, but she doesn't have a

(49:28):
website up for so Treasure Artis hasbeen on the show twice. She's ran
for the third ward. She hasran for mayor of Samonnadino. She has
her own podcast called Wake Up,Wake Up. The doctor Treasure artis,
Yes, she's a doctor, let'snot forget that from cal State Samonadino.
She also teaches up there. Shecares about Samernardino. She is very very

(49:52):
vocal. She is what we calluh a watch stock. Well we call
him shank right, So like ScottOlsen is a shark, treasurable, sin
I treasurles. But I can't saymuch because I used to be that.
I was that person who was tryingto bring out all this stuff out into

(50:15):
the open, right, and youget that negative kind of you're you're you're
outspoken, you're you're sick. Butdoctor Hill grabbed me, she took me
aside, and she sat me downand she said, Robert, she goes,
you catch more bees with honey.And she didn't mean that I'm gonna

(50:36):
change the world. She meant Iwas gonna bring people together. That's what
the key is to being a goodpolitician. It's not solving all the problems
because once you get in there,guess what you were one vote, that's
it. You have to you haveto compromise with all those other votes.
So so, but but I donotice a change, and she just received

(51:00):
forty thousand dollars from Scott Beard,so that's a good amount of money in
your coffers right to row right,So I wish you're all the best.
And I'm sure she's gonna be walkingvery soon because she's a hardcore walker.
What I do want to add tothat is, I think at the root
Treasure has doctor Artisa's wanted accountability rightyes, and has actively communicated that in

(51:22):
every council meeting, at every opportunity. She's just advocated for accountability and transparency.
So be it. But for me, that's all people do a lot
of times up there, right,So like if that's all you see from
the outside is someone asking constantly foraccountability, and that's the only kind of

(51:45):
post you see online too, becauseit's only one video kind of like you
know, you see how it startsto get skewed a little bit to whe
it's more negative than it really is. That's why I've actually changed my form
of speaking to be positive. AndI'm sure you've noticed why, because not
everything they're doing up there is bad, and not everything deserves to be scolded,

(52:07):
you know, give them some creditfor God's sake. Sometimes they are
taking its up there and getting grayhairs for us to spend our money.
Right, So what war does shelive in now? Seventh She's in seventh
ward now and we have four othercandidates. And don't get me wrong,
I believe she would be a greatcounsel woman right right, you know what

(52:28):
I'm saying. I know she woulddo a good job, right and I
have seen her progress towards that thosecapabilities too, So she is a force
to be reckoned, with no doubtabout it in my mind. Right.
I just hope that she always remembersDoctor Hill people together, all right.

(52:49):
Richard Avila he owns a construction businessin summer, do you know? And
he doesn't have a website up yet. But he run for mayor in twenty
thirteen when Carrie Davis and Valdivia first. But we haven't seen anything else about
him. Well, yeah, he'sran. He's ran for mayor, council
or last, that's the race.He explored running for college in the seventh

(53:13):
ward, but he didn't do it. I was already supporting gaming, so
I didn't I hope. Yeah,I didn't answer those calls because I like
it. I don't like to tellpeople no, I don't want I want
to support everybody right, which youcan't. Yeah, so this time I
didn't say anything even I didn't honestlynobody right. I'm going with it.
I can like two people in thesame race, and it's okay, right,

(53:37):
It's okay for us to like sayvilCanon, all right. And then
we have Kenneth Booth and Brett Ward. I haven't been able to find out
anything about them. And then doyou want to talk about Lotto Wilson.
Yeah, I don't know much aboutthem. I tried doing some research today
too. I found zero, whichmakes me think they they really need to
come to me and let me know, or the people at least let us

(54:00):
know. Why should I vote foryou? Right? I live in your
ward. I don't even know whocan are. Dude, I'm a president
of Neighborhod Association. You should cometo our meetings. Our next meeting will
be in January the second Wednesday atDenny's at six o'clock, so you're you're
welcome to join, and uh,you know you're not allowed to speak politics,
but it would be nice to knowwho you are. Yeah, maybe.

(54:22):
Yeah. We also got a LottaWilson who was on the show.
After here, he is audio visualover at the coom A Unity Center.
He is also former gangster rapper Anduh, I was at an award show

(54:46):
last year and he got the awardshow. He got the award for the
year for lifetime achievement. That waslifetime achievement and like they showed his accomplishment.
It's like, I'm sorry, Iforget the name of his actual but
it was it got pretty big,but it was it involved a shotgun in
the in the video, right,and then I saw that. But then

(55:07):
when I heard he's running like he'sa good guy, I like it,
right. But the thing is isthat when when Anthony Jones ran for the
seventh Ward and he was a rapperand he just made an image of a
gun in the video frenchrhtt real,you know, destroyed him with that,

(55:30):
destroyed him right, like just forthat one thing, and it really did
set this to set the tone forthe Fourth War, that whole race.
So I'm really worried that that withthat, because he's a good guy man,
it didn't represent him. But peoplethat I don't think Danian, actually
you know what that I did noticeabout this, I don't really see anybody
who's negative that I think would putnegative literature out. I don't think.

(55:53):
I don't think Treasure Will. Idon't think she's what they hate mail kind
of stuff. I don't like.That's what actually got Damon the race in
the first place, right because becauseMova Hill and uh oh yeah, they
were so head ahead, yeah thatthey were like they were counseling each other
out, and Damon just kept walkingand walked right in there. So,

(56:16):
uh, like, you know whatif they say positive, like you know,
in our war, we just throwthat comes. You know, how
much you spend twenty thousand dollars onliterature and we just throw it in the
trash, you know, you know, positive stuff, show us what you
did. Yeah, well, thankyou so much for this. Was great.
We really did good. Also,I vote for assembly Men Ramos.

(56:37):
You know I never did that.You know. I love miss Ramos,
and uh, this this is awesomestuff. Thank you for doing all this
research and going through it for me. And uh, we'll do another show
after the primary and we'll go overthe final the finale, all right,
and I'm going to try to bringon every one of these people, so
peace. Let me know, Imean I'm sure Michael, we'll be trying

(57:00):
to get them on as well.Right, So if you can't help me
get the numbers to can if youdo find them and in the best place
to get those numbers is usually attheir their dates, right or whoever set
the debate, hopefully we'll have some. I haven't heard about any yet,
I'm sure. Well, thank youfor everything. Team. This is Robert
