Speaker 14 (09:38):
Okay, yes, thanks for having me.

Speaker 11 (09:40):
Oh man, we love it and we love it, and
we love your father as well as your family. Your father,
a former congressman, did a lot for the city of
sam Bernardino all those years and the county as.

Speaker 14 (09:52):
Well, and now as a councilman in the city of Aralto,
correct mayor. You know, he's still.

Speaker 11 (10:01):
Moving forward and still helping the community. So will you
give him a big hug from us?

Speaker 15 (10:06):
I will give him a big I'm very proud of
my father. He served as inspiration for me and he's
doing great things in Rialto.

Speaker 11 (10:12):
And he did great things in general. And his legacy
will stand the test of time, that's for sure.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
And this you know.

Speaker 16 (10:18):
One thing I appreciate is the Memorial Day event that
happens in Rialto. Often the mayor Aquanetta often comes in
tends as well. It's a beautiful ceremony. My father is
you know, has passed on, but he was a part
of the Air Force, and my grandfather as well, and
most of my uncles have served. So I love that,
and me and my mom have been attending that for
the last three years since my father passed as a

(10:40):
tradition to honor his memory and all those that have
served as well.

Speaker 9 (10:43):
So I appreciate that.

Speaker 15 (10:44):
So I appreciate you coming to there.

Speaker 9 (10:47):
You go to this.

Speaker 11 (10:47):
This was my cool local story, like for the last
pow Wow, I'm over there chilling, you know, dating my
pictures like normal.

Speaker 9 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, no way.

Speaker 14 (10:55):
It was was a Native American Knight American Day. And
then I see mister Barker. He comes on, that's okay.

Speaker 9 (11:04):
The baseball car card.

Speaker 11 (11:08):
He's like, you need an extra one personally signed?

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Y I.

Speaker 11 (11:15):
It was like the bird singers were going, you know,
and I was like, I wanted to ask him to
sign it, but next time he might have another one.

Speaker 14 (11:22):
Huh.

Speaker 12 (11:23):
So yeah, yeah, all right, maybe I'll have two in
the future.

Speaker 9 (11:25):
There you go, good times time.

Speaker 14 (11:27):
So if y only, what's your first question for the supervisors?

Speaker 16 (11:31):
Well, I would just love to hear the vision that
Sammardino County to board a supervisor kind of has for
our county. For the biggest county in the country. What
are you guys hoping to create it and and grow
within our community?

Speaker 15 (11:43):
Sure? So one of the things that people sometimes don't
even understand what a supervisor does. So one of the
things that we're responsible for is, you know, a ten
billion dollar budget, ten billion dollar budget, and we have
many social services of many pass through funds come Our
operating budget is only about twenty percent of the budget.
The rest of it is passed through programs we run
through our TAD Department, through many of our behavioral health

(12:08):
programs that we run throughout the county. But you know,
I can't speak for my other colleagues, but one of
the things that we've been really pushing for in the
fifth District is our roadmap to revitalization. So we have
a lot of capital projects that we've invested in.

Speaker 14 (12:21):
What's the capital project?

Speaker 15 (12:23):
So just to give you an idea what a capital
project is usually a construction or physical project, a building,
it could be transportation, could be a park. That's an
example of a capital project. We've made several investments throughout
the county, so I'll go into those, but at least
some of the bigger things. The bigger picture things they're
working for is an animal shelter. So we have an
animal shelter that's under construction in the unincorporated area Bloomington.

(12:46):
That's about a sixty five million dollar project which will
provide animal service. Some of our cities have their own
animal shelters. For example, City San Rendino has their own
animal shelter, but some of our other cities like Fontana, Rialto, Colton, Lomolin, Highland,
Ukaipa don't have an animal shelter or.

Speaker 12 (13:03):
They have to contract with others.

Speaker 15 (13:05):
They have to contract. So we have two cities that
contract with our county animal Shelter and Devor. That's the
City of Highland in the City of Ukaipa. But we're
looking at expanding those services which we need.

Speaker 14 (13:17):
We really do need help. There's a great need to.

Speaker 12 (13:21):
Help the animals.

Speaker 11 (13:23):
One quick question, sure, well, this new shelter have access
to a veterinarian.

Speaker 15 (13:29):
As a matter of fact, we have a veterinarian in
our current animal shelter at Devor. We're looking adding an
additional veterinarian. We're adding more vetex, so we're looking at
expanding services there. That's just so important having areas to
walk the animals. We get animals from all over the county,
you name it. We get cats, dogs, pot belly pigs, horses.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
Could I make a small request on behalf of the city.
I don't even know if it's possible, but they're having
a hard time getting a veterinarian through the city, Sam Renardino.
So I don't know if there might be some things
that go on there, like a little collaboration, because I
believe this issue is spay and neuter. You know, the
more we can get spay and neuter, the less animals

(14:12):
we got to you know, unfortunately euthanize and things like that,
the bad things in the end.

Speaker 9 (14:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (14:18):
So one of the things we do is we have
a mobile clinic, which yeah, those in our areas they
do spadery, neuteringe chipping, which is important. Yes, that's just
so critical. We have great relationships with many of our
rescue groups to help these animals find a home. That's
just so important. But we're also looking to expand our

(14:39):
services and provide them for many cities. But this is
just a big issue. It's important issue, and we get
a lot of requests about animal issues, so that's just
one of the things that we're responsible for.

Speaker 12 (14:48):
Well, thank you for sharing that with us.

Speaker 11 (14:50):
I know, like helping the city with a ven aeran
is very complex issue. I'm hoping someday that I asked
them myself, maybe we need to increase the salary a
little bit. Let's just hope in the future we do
get one so we can have a spade near a
program and that will help the county too.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (15:05):
No, it's competitive, and you mentioned the pay. I think
one time the county used to contract out that service.
Now we have you know, one full time. We're looking
at adding two full time veter aarians with the counties.

Speaker 14 (15:16):
I think that is awesome.

Speaker 11 (15:17):
It's good stuff and I like it when we keep
you know, specialized skills in our county.

Speaker 12 (15:23):
Right, it's good to.

Speaker 11 (15:24):
Have those specialized skills because that it bleeds out into
all the people they work with, and I mean it
really is good for the health of a strong county
and city.

Speaker 15 (15:35):
Yeah, and just sometimes people don't understand jurisdictions. Like for us,
in the County of San Maardino, we have a park
district in Bloomington. So what happens in Bloomington. All the
property owners are assessed a small amount of money and
it pays for two community parks, one in called Kessler Park,
one called a Yalla Park. A Yalla Park, we offer
some parks and rec services Kesler Park, we run our

(15:56):
community programs, we have our league there. So those are
the two jurisdictions. Sometimes people think that we have multiple jurisdictions,
and those are the jurisdictions of our park districts. We're
also responsible for regional parks. We're responsible for Glen Helen
Regional Park, which is we've made significant investments.

Speaker 11 (16:16):
Can I ask a question about jurisdictory jurisdictions and sannid
You know, we have these things that people often mentioned
called county pockets.

Speaker 12 (16:24):
Could you explain those to us?

Speaker 9 (16:26):
Sure?

Speaker 15 (16:26):
So we have areas in San Bernardino which have not
been incorporated over time. So for example, we have the
Del Rosa community. We actually have four pockets in the
Del Rosa area that are county. They're not city. We're
responsible for the roads, sidewalks, infrastructure, police services within those areas.
In the Del Rosa community, the sheriff. The sheriff always

(16:51):
let me give clarity, the Sheriff's responsible for any law
enforcement issue, but when it comes to traffic, the highway
patrols response has jurisdiction and the unincorporated community.

Speaker 16 (17:03):
That explains why I see the highway patrol sometimes up
the sterling in the Rosa area and you know, and
sometimes having people pull it over, and it's normally like
is this their jurisdiction, but it must be one of
those part traffic.

Speaker 11 (17:14):
Yeah, I believe Governor knew some has directed them to,
you know, help San Bernardino on our streets. And there
was a saturation patrol last weekend through the higher patrol
throughout the state, I believe, so we will be seeing
more of them, I'm sure.

Speaker 15 (17:30):
So let me talk about the other pockets in the
San Margino area. We have a little third it's called
It's a small community that's just right across the street
from the Sheriff's department. Just yeah, that's a small unincorporated pocket.
If you guys are familiar with Cohone High School, we
have a small Arrowhead Farms that people think that is old.

Speaker 12 (17:53):
That is an old old school area.

Speaker 15 (17:55):
Musco is part of our unincorporated area. So we're making
investments and I say capital projects. We're looking at road
improvements in the Del Rosa community. We just added a
fire station which is ten point three million, which services
the Del Rosa and s Manatino community. In Little Third,
we just had a groundbreaking last week where we got
two point five million dollars from Congressman Aguilar. We got

(18:17):
measure eye money through a county fee that that's assessed
to do some improvements for roads and sidewalks and fencing
in the Little Third community. So we're making significant investments
in Arrowhead Farms. What we're working with is the sam
Manino City Water Department. We're actually trying to do some conversions,
not the entire community, but certain parts of the community,

(18:38):
going from septic to sewer because some of those communities
are on septic tank. So we're trying to make some
investments there.

Speaker 11 (18:44):
That is actually how my family made money by changing
Fontana's septic to sewer over years and years and years.

Speaker 12 (18:53):
I have another question, sure, oh, good, go ahead.

Speaker 16 (18:55):
I would love to jump in and find this out,
because I recently had a meeting with the CEO of
Riverside County, Jeff Jeff van Wegg and I always miss Jeff,
and he was expressing how the actual fear of the
current administration pulling funding from the federal level for the
state of California is something that they're thinking about and
trying to get ahead of in Riverside County. I'm wondering,

(19:18):
are you guys, I'm worried about a threat of losing
some federal funding if the current administration wants to go
that way.

Speaker 15 (19:25):
Yeah, it's always a concern that they're going to remove
federal funding. Like we have certain programs that are fully
funded from the federal department. Like we're one of the
only one of two maybe counties in the state of
California that has our preschool services department fully funded by
the federal government. So we're concerned about that. But the
one thing I have to give our staff credit and
our board of supervisors pretty physically responsible board. We have

(19:49):
our finance director, Matt Ericks and has really been watching
the dollars, so we've scaled back. We had a good
approach to how we spend money. I would say probably
better than most counties, where most counties are hurting financially.
We're in good shape financially. Property taxes at are declining slowly,
but we're we're pulling back on a few things, but

(20:09):
we still have been able to make several one time investments.

Speaker 11 (20:13):
It's always good to balance the budget, right, Absolutely, my question.
I love that question, by the way, but my question
is a little bit simpler.

Speaker 14 (20:21):
Sure, DeVore like uh like freedom makers?

Speaker 11 (20:26):
Well, Glenn Helen Silverwood, all these the park areas, are
they stalking those with fish and things?

Speaker 15 (20:35):
You asked that question? So we actually stalk the fish
every Thursday. Okay, every Thursday we stocked with fish. We
actually have a community group that comes out to actually
watch them put the fish into Yeah, so we have watchdogs.

Speaker 11 (20:51):
Have you got to pull out like I haven't yet?
That's what I've didn't get my license and I want
to go to leg.

Speaker 15 (20:59):
What do you think that'd be great? So we have
great regional parks. So one of the things I do
every year our office does is we work closely with
Children and Family Services, our Foster Youth, and our Probation department.
Every March we have a fishing day with the supervisor
to give some of our at risk use an opportunity
to fish. So they closed down one of the lakes
for us for a half day. We provide lunch, we

(21:20):
provide breakfast for all these kids.

Speaker 11 (21:23):
Well why do you have to provide lunch, Why don't
you just fix fish?

Speaker 15 (21:27):
Actually that's one of the options they have.

Speaker 14 (21:29):
That is us.

Speaker 15 (21:30):
So what they do is they have I never caught
a ten pounder. So what they do is they have
an area where they show people how to fry fish.

Speaker 14 (21:41):
Oh that is so cool, Like I do that in
Mexico all the time.

Speaker 15 (21:45):
So our lakes are We made several investments. As a
matter of fact, we've invested in some of our playgrounds.
We've invested in some of our road improvements. The entryway.
If you look at the entryway at Glenn Helen, it's
been improved. So we've probably invested about fifteen million dollars
into Glenn Helln We redid our splash pads there and
we got more to come. We're looking at some point

(22:06):
in time negotiating with a live nation. We do about
four to six concerts a year. Our goal is to
get twenty to thirty concerts a year. But it's the negotiations.
There's nothing that's the stone. There's nothing I can report now,
but that's the ultimate goal.

Speaker 14 (22:22):
That's an excellent goal.

Speaker 11 (22:23):
I mean seriously, we need that, like like y'abo like
Salmon w draws in so many people.

Speaker 14 (22:30):
Right.

Speaker 15 (22:31):
So that being said, you guys familiar with the bridge
that's near Glen Helen. So there's a bridge there that
was never finished. We called the Bridge to Nowhere. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Now it's the bridge to Somewhere. So it's going to
be starting construction real soon. So it's about a sixty
million dollar completion of the bridge. So the bridge was
just unfinished. So we worked with at that time, Sender

(22:54):
Lavash wrote a letter to State Parks. They we got
approval to finish the bridge because it's going on state parkland,
so that will allow for better.

Speaker 14 (23:02):
Track go over.

Speaker 12 (23:07):
So we get Sammy Davis lost his eye back in
the day.

Speaker 15 (23:10):
I can't speak for that.

Speaker 14 (23:12):
I right there at the stop side.

Speaker 15 (23:18):
But so Rosino Ranch community has been concerned about that.
That the boor community in North Salmon, you know, I've
all been concerned about that bridge. Even Live Nation has
been concerned about that bridge. Because of the traffic flow
to and from after concerts. Yes, over the crowded.

Speaker 16 (23:34):
That line going after him, I could see even even
I don't know, you know the plans and you can't
show everything, but I imagine a parking structure would probably
have to be building that area or something like that.
And I know that can bring a lot of restaurants
and people that want to capitalize. If we're having if
it's twenty or thirty concerts, that's like three concerts or
four concerts a month, you know what I mean, And

(23:55):
that would bring Yeah, that'd be great money.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
So I love that vision.

Speaker 16 (23:58):
But I know we're around around to the last about
four or five minutes that we have with you.

Speaker 15 (24:03):
You can get ten. I'll give you that ook.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
We can bump it up. Thank you, sir, greatly appreciate that.

Speaker 16 (24:08):
I was wondering for our community, for our youth that
may want to be in a leadership role someday in
their future. What are some words of wisdom that you
can impart upon them, especially when you think about your
family's legacy with your brothers.

Speaker 14 (24:21):
And your fi all these graduates, right.

Speaker 16 (24:23):
And these graduates as well, for those that had that desire,
what are some words of wisdom that you could impart well.

Speaker 15 (24:28):
One of the things I would just encourage them. So
one of the things we do have to try to
encourage you. We have a Youth Advisory Commission, so it's
primarily for juniors and seniors in high school. We encourage
people to sign up. As a matter of fact, last
year we gave out nineteen scholarships with fifteen hundred dollars
and most of them were Samorardino kids.

Speaker 9 (24:45):
Hey now that.

Speaker 15 (24:46):
Got them, which is good. So what we do is
we encourage them to get involved and really build a resume.
So this is an opportunity for them to build a resume,
but we have minimum requirements for them to get the scholarship.
Need to come to us so many meetings, attend so
many meetings, and part ti dissipate in a few of
our community events, and we give them a community project
to do. So last year, our project, which was a

(25:07):
good project, we'll continue to do it this year was
to collect collect flip flops and sweats. So one of
the things with that we were responsible for our county hospital,
which is Airhead Regional Medical Center. A lot of times
patients come out and don't have clothing, so to have
them sweats, to be comfortable in flip flops as they
get discharged. But to really get involved, you know, understand

(25:29):
the system, understand you know how you can be involved.
And I always tell people, Look, I'm a guestholder of
this office. That's my favorite inning for Barack Obama. He
talks about just being a guestholder. Someday I will not
be here, and you want to leave it better than
where you start. Absolute And I can just say with
some of the investments that we've done in the city
of sam Marad, you know, and I'll just name a
few of them. So we've invested nine hundred and fifty

(25:50):
thousand dollars into Spiker Park. We got stand on Weald
banded mission Indians to invest. Also a million dollars Waterloope
Field on the west Ada Samra. Do you know we've
invested nine hundred and ninety five thousand dollars to the
park improvements.

Speaker 14 (26:05):
The Javama of Salm Manuel.

Speaker 15 (26:07):
That's right.

Speaker 11 (26:07):
Yeah, we're all Javia Tom of salm and weel yeah,
Javia Tom of sam Manuel.

Speaker 15 (26:13):
We're learning.

Speaker 11 (26:14):
And their casino as a Javama Ja they just reclaimed
their name too.

Speaker 14 (26:20):
That that's all.

Speaker 15 (26:20):
It's just beautiful, just cultural preservation.

Speaker 11 (26:23):
I mean, that's just we're so lucky to have them
here with us that it's incredible.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
Uh before we end a time, I want to ask
one real quick question, like so, I saw you the
other day at the United Way with with the Gwen
and Tanya and mitce Ramos and Dame Alexander, And do
you work often with a lot of non for profits
here locally?

Speaker 9 (26:46):
We do.

Speaker 15 (26:46):
We try to support a lot of our I'm a
big proponent supporting our youth groups, especially the groups that
nobody helps, like especially a lot of our little leagues, and.

Speaker 11 (26:54):
Like the one you hold at the at this is
the stadium every year, the BAKA Foundation.

Speaker 15 (27:01):
That's totally separate, totally separate, but that's through our separate
of my office. But I believe in giving back. And
I know that there's a lot of organizations that you know,
don't have the funding and means, especially a lot of
our youth groups.

Speaker 11 (27:13):
It's sports groups, they do deserve money. But I understand
the conflict and interested but like he did work so
hard on that the Badkas put together this whole baseball
camp and you show up and and like all the
kids are just.

Speaker 14 (27:25):
Having an incredible.

Speaker 9 (27:26):
Time all day.

Speaker 14 (27:27):
And one time I went it rained and.

Speaker 15 (27:29):
They still they were still out there. Parents had their
umbrellas and it was great.

Speaker 14 (27:35):
It was good stuff. You better invite me to.

Speaker 17 (27:37):
This year's Okay, January, I still got that shirt.

Speaker 14 (27:47):
He has a good shirt.

Speaker 15 (27:51):
And what else you guys want to cover or talk about?

Speaker 16 (27:53):
Well, you know what, as we circle around towards home base,
I would just love to hear what you would hope
because I know we look to leadership to do so much.
But what is it, as as citizens of the community
of the county that we can do to support the
efforts to beautify our community, to make sure that our
community is safe and thriving.

Speaker 15 (28:12):
You know, you know, I think the hardest thing for
people to understand. And I had to learn this as
an elected official. You got to be clear in your
ass and you got to have a focus. I learned
this from a military colonel, he says Joe, And when
I was a teacher, Joe, you got to pick three things.
You can't do everything, so you got to find a
few things to focus on. What is your priority? Make
your priority list one, two, and three and you got

(28:34):
to get after keep it aloud. Keep in mind there's
only so much money to go around. There's only so
much people that you can help. You can't help everybody.
But what you can do is you can't leave a mark,
and I believe in as a county supervisor, we're leaving
the mark throughout. I'm trying to touch every part of
the fifth District, Bloomington rialto Colton, Sam Bernardino, Muscow, Rosina Ranch.

(28:55):
We're trying to make small investments. I can't change anything overnight,
but what I can do is I can leave a
legacy and get the wheels moving. We made significant investments
in homelessness and people don't realize this is a complex,
difficult issue. But what you have to do is we've
been very smart and diligent. Not just throw money at
a problem. We have to like be methodical, making sure

(29:18):
our investments are wise and we're thinking it through. You
can't just rush to do things quickly. You got to
really think them through and plan them out. And that's
the advice I could give people and pick a few things.
You can't do everything. It's impossible. As an elected got
so much money, time and even staff. You have to
respect staff. I think it's important to give staff clear direct.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
Yeah, they can't do everything right, and it's like we
none of us can have another questions question about basically
your future. So if mister Ramo some days decides to
run for you, I sentate and you know, would you He's.

Speaker 15 (29:53):
Got my support.

Speaker 11 (29:54):
Yeah, would you ever consider, you know, maybe running for
a higher office, maybe Congress someday?

Speaker 15 (30:01):
I you know, you know, I was in the legislature
for two years one term. I was a one term
wonder And honestly, I enjoy the County Board of Supervisors
probably more than any other job that I've ever had.
I've been on the city council and I enjoy the
people and I we've been able to accomplish great things
as it and it's a city, but it's home. I

(30:22):
get to be home. I get to be around family.
I got great staff. It's truly an honor to be
on the County Board of Supervisor. I don't take it
for granted one day. I mean, people have believed in me.
I went unopposed this last election cycle, which is a blessing.
But we're doing good things and someday, you know, it's
going to be somebody else's turn. But as long as

(30:45):
I'm here, I want to do the best job I
can and right now I just want to be the
best supervisor I can be.

Speaker 12 (30:50):
That's a great answer.

Speaker 9 (30:50):
You're doing a wonderful job.

Speaker 15 (30:52):
You're doing a wonderful job.

Speaker 11 (32:21):
Well, I have Court Street today, So, like you know,
this is guidepost to history concerning origins and place names
Sam Barnino County. And I wanted to read it to
mister Bacca, but you know, he's a busy man, and yeah,
he has to get a lot of events in and
way more than I usually have to go to. But
not more than Yannie, that's for sure. This man here

(32:42):
has a lot of events. Court Street, San Bernardino County's
first public building was the Mormon Council House, which was
used as a county courthouse for some years from eighteen
fifty eight through eighteen sixty two, county business was transacted
in the one story brick residence erected by QS. Sparks

(33:03):
on the corner of Fifth and East Street. The supervisors
then brought the residence of bought the residence of Charles
Glacier on what was to become the corner of Court.

Speaker 12 (33:13):
And E Streets.

Speaker 11 (33:15):
In eighteen seventy four, a two story frame courthouse was
erected behind the Glassier home for twenty five thousand dollars,
and it can be seen at the top and on
the left middle picture. It was at this time that
Court Street was dedicated as an entryway to the courthouse.

Speaker 9 (33:34):
Right there.

Speaker 11 (33:35):
Awesome, right there, So the old old courthouse right there.
As the county grew, the courthouse became inadequate, and the
supervisor submitted a proposal to vote bonds to the amount
of one hundred and twenty five thousand for the building
of a county jail and rebuilding of the county courthouse.
The amount of the bonds and site chosen met with

(33:56):
strong opposition and the supervisors and propose. It was the
bond issue of seventy five thousand for erection of a
Hall of Records this too was voted down, were upon.
The officials levied attacks of forty thousand dollars and completed
the Hall of Records in eighteen ninety one. It was
opposition to this plan that started the talk in regard

(34:19):
to a possible change of county seat and the division
of the county into San Bernardino and Rivers. The Board
of Supervisors consisted of William Randall, Victor jan Victor C.
Turner IW Lord took the drastic action of levying direct

(34:40):
taxes and letting our bids for a new courthouse. After
bomb propositions were twice voted down. In eighteen ninety two,
a second building on the corner of E and Court
Streets of Colton Marble and Sepsis Sandstone was completed. It
was erected in front of the old courthouse and be
seen in the middle picture below. It turned the county

(35:03):
Courrosse and in nineteen twenty seven when the present courthouse
was erected, and now the new new one.

Speaker 9 (35:10):
Okay, there we go, there we go.

Speaker 11 (35:11):
Yeah, So some of the old pieces of this building
still exist at the in front of the new County
Board of Supervisors building and courthouse, right, so they're like
a little history area out there, and there's a few
pieces of the sandstone roof.

Speaker 12 (35:29):
That are still on display out.

Speaker 16 (35:31):
I'm gonna look for I'm gonna be there actually tomorrow,
So look.

Speaker 11 (35:35):
A couple of little history things there's like, So that's
what I like to do sometimes, the little piece of history,
a monument or something a video and show.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Totally.

Speaker 9 (35:42):
No, that's awesome.

Speaker 16 (35:43):
I appreciate your efforts to highlight the amazing history that
is within our community and home of Samonadino, and.

Speaker 11 (35:51):
Your efforts with your photography business, engaging.

Speaker 9 (35:55):
Captures, engaging captures, caught.

Speaker 11 (35:58):
Engaging captures, caught, engaging captures, carc and so, like what's
your favorite thing, like, like do you like taking pictures
of the people?

Speaker 12 (36:11):
Do you like taking pictures of animals?

Speaker 9 (36:13):
Like?

Speaker 14 (36:13):
What have you found so far?

Speaker 11 (36:15):
Because Yanni's been missing every Monday in the beginning of
the month, he's coming to He's going to a photography
club and.

Speaker 16 (36:21):
Yes, the Redlands Camera Club. Shout out to the Redlands
Camera Club.

Speaker 9 (36:24):
You know.

Speaker 16 (36:24):
For me, I think I think it kind of loops
into our origin story, right. How for those that may
not know me and Robert Porter, we didn't know one
another at one point in time. But we are both
on a mission to highlight the positive things in our community,
and we would do that through what I like to
say is poor man's journalism, where we would take pictures
of positive events, share resources.

Speaker 11 (36:45):
When no one else was there a hand.

Speaker 16 (36:49):
There's very few, very few. Now you see all these
Instagram needs. They beat us too. And we should have
been thinking about that, you know, ten years ago, right,
we should have been, but we kind of missed that wave.

Speaker 9 (37:02):
Right. But so that's how Robert.

Speaker 11 (37:05):
And I but we may have instigated that way. People
were like not saying good things about our area.

Speaker 16 (37:14):
Totally, totally, totally, and that's something that we both were
addressing via individuals. And we didn't know one another, but
I used to share into because we're both a part
of so many groups, right, that was sharing to as
I love Sammordino page. And and then we just happened
to run into each other one day at a community
event and it's like, hey, you're Robert Porter. He's like, hey,

(37:34):
you posted our group a lot, and uh, you know,
and it was cool, and then we met in public.
And then the opportunity to come on to the radio
show was through Edwin when you had brought Edward on
back in the day when he was kind of growing chords, right,
and that's when we connected and and you know, you
invited me on just like hey.

Speaker 9 (37:52):
You can come on to the show, and you know
what I mean. And it kind of been rocking with
you ever since.

Speaker 16 (37:56):
But to answer your original question, I love community photography.
That's the main crux of engaging captures. Called eighty percent
of what I do is community photography. So I have
the opportunity to shoot the i e. Black Graduation at
Calcay sammer Dadino. I have a few upcoming events with
the Black workers.

Speaker 11 (38:14):
Okay, so what do you do when they're giving a
speech and they won't look up from their paper? You
know that that happens, right, So you're trying to get
them when they look up that one.

Speaker 9 (38:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I usually have and that happens.

Speaker 17 (38:29):
So yeah, even lying you are because you're a photographer, Yeah,
you know, you don't you want their you don't want
their mouth.

Speaker 9 (38:35):
Yeah, yeah, you.

Speaker 16 (38:36):
Know what, bro as a photographer, we have so much
control because you can put so many pictures.

Speaker 9 (38:40):
Of those bad pictures, you can put.

Speaker 11 (38:42):
Them and occasionally they gotta go up if it's if
it's the only one.

Speaker 16 (38:46):
Yeah, yeah, you might want to put it in black
and white and just mess up the highlights and stuff like.

Speaker 14 (38:51):
You know, put white where the missing Keith little photo.

Speaker 16 (38:55):
Shot, little little AI animation, you know. But you know
that does happen for me. I try to be patient
and and and sometimes I'll shoot in burst mode where
it's like I'll take ten you know, hit the photo
and it'll take ten shots, and I hope I pray
at one of those shots the person has their eyes
opened and look, you know, a positive I try to

(39:17):
I try to always show everyone in the flattering like
because some of the ladies like, oh, let me see
the picture. I like, I wouldn't post anything that's not
you know, showing lifting your beauty, situating your beauty in what.

Speaker 14 (39:27):
You Yeah, some pictures have to be like.

Speaker 16 (39:33):
Yeah, yeah, you don't want to you know, maybe if
I create a only fans for.

Speaker 11 (39:40):
Some some ladies, like some ladies like the whole figure
shown right. But some ladies, you know, and they will
you look on their you know, Facebook, the woman one
picture of them to somebody I want to like and
I know you're like this.

Speaker 14 (39:55):
I want to be that one picture.

Speaker 16 (39:56):
You don't go, no, you don't you alright, no, bro?

Speaker 9 (40:00):
And you know if you look at one of the
goals too, bro.

Speaker 16 (40:05):
And it's awesome because some of the I'm not going
to mention those names, but some of the electeds and
some of the senators and some of the congressmen. I
have shot some of their community events and lo and behold,
they're using some of my imagery and their monthly.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
Letters and everything like that. So that's and you know,
that's awesome, right. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (40:22):
People think your work is nice and they want to
use it to showcase what they're doing in the community.
And that's what I'm here to do as far as
the photography. But I will rebound that question right back
to you. What is your favorite thing to shoot? What
are some of your favorite things to capture?

Speaker 11 (40:37):
I was thinking about that today and I've really moved
away from using my camera as much as I used to.
It's just so much easier to use the cell phone, right,
I mean, it's like it's the scene. But what I
do miss is zoom features, the good zoom feaster And

(40:57):
like I noticed today that in my guard and not
just sitting out there, you know, watering and relaxing.

Speaker 14 (41:03):
Before the show. I like to really relax and think.

Speaker 11 (41:05):
About what I might want to talk about. And I
noticed that there was a new type of butterfly in
my garden besides these huge monarchs that are mating and
the golf forratilleries.

Speaker 14 (41:15):
But it was a black.

Speaker 11 (41:16):
One with a with a really nice like an oranges
bottom wing. And I walked up and I was just
about to shoot it right like I wanted so bad,
but it fluttered away. I like insects definitely, because it
seems like because they're hard.

Speaker 16 (41:32):
No, I hear you, and you could get butterflies are
beautiful and it seems like you have the the monarch
freak off happening in your back and it's not easy.

Speaker 11 (41:40):
You have to have milk weed for a few years
in a row for the babies, like like I think
maybe they're babies that were born right around that they
came back.

Speaker 9 (41:50):
No, I'm hoping, you know what.

Speaker 16 (41:52):
I had an opportunity to go up to Santa Cruz
and see where the butterflies is a place where.

Speaker 9 (41:57):
They all fly and it's like thousands.

Speaker 12 (42:01):
Of of that's the West Coast monarch.

Speaker 16 (42:03):
The West car and it talks about how they travel
all the way back east.

Speaker 9 (42:06):
It had the route. It was it was crazy how
they so.

Speaker 11 (42:10):
So we So there is a mountain range that comes
up the Rockies and the Sierras, right, and that like
condenses the Western Monarch Range.

Speaker 9 (42:18):
Right.

Speaker 11 (42:18):
Then there's the Eastern Monarch Range. That's the ones that
go all the way down into Mexico and back all
the way up to Canada. Not all of them, but
like they have actually documented and tagged them to do that.

Speaker 12 (42:30):
So yeah, like.

Speaker 11 (42:31):
That's a but it's interesting there there may be crossover
that I don't know.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Like I.

Speaker 11 (42:39):
Love I love our animals, I love our our insects,
I love our birds. And uh, one thing that I'm
gonna start doing now is because I don't know all
the birds in my backyard. Like I know all the
spiders in the lizards.

Speaker 16 (42:56):
And because did you get like alligator lizards or something.

Speaker 11 (43:00):
I know all that stuff, but I don't know the birds.
And like I realized, since I have these low quat
trees now, all those the migrating birds come to my yara,
so I'm like, man, I.

Speaker 14 (43:11):
Should know those.

Speaker 11 (43:12):
So I've actually identified a toe he okay, yeah, and
it's this little tiny bird that you know, like it
almost right on me of like a smaller than a
like a sparrow, but like a little bigger than a hummingbird.

Speaker 12 (43:27):
Yeah they're brown, yeah, but they're just pretty little birds.
And I was like wow.

Speaker 11 (43:34):
So that I was like, man, I tryed to take
a picture of it.

Speaker 12 (43:36):
I couldn't do it.

Speaker 11 (43:37):
So like that's like that kind of challenge is what what?

Speaker 14 (43:42):
Because it's not a.

Speaker 11 (43:43):
Challenge to take pictures of people anymore from me, I'm like,
before I used to collect them, it was like I
don't know, like cards, like I got a picture of
this with this guy this guy. But now it's more
like I don't know more. I want the work to
actually worthwhile and to like have a point.

Speaker 16 (44:04):
And you know, well to me that that's like one
thing to keep it spicy is start thinking about, especially
even when you're shooting people or community, is how you're
composing that image, right, you know, saying you want it,
you want it with a leading line and you want
the backdrop, and you you could put a little more
thought to it that might help excite the creative process

(44:24):
instead of just you have.

Speaker 9 (44:26):
To do that. Right.

Speaker 14 (44:27):
So you're sitting at a city meeting you know you're gonna.

Speaker 11 (44:30):
Do there for like five hours, and then like you've
gotten a picture of every politician, you got to close
above everyone with them smiling, with them frowning. You know,
like you did everything you needed to do to tell
the story.

Speaker 12 (44:41):
Any way you want.

Speaker 11 (44:43):
You are right, So like you know, they could be
frowning from something totally different. Yeah, but in the layout
of the picture of the album, you can put that
frown picture and ahead of something else and totally, you know,
manipulate the storyline.

Speaker 16 (44:57):
And no, totally it is a story because ultimately you
use photography to tell us stories. Like how we've spoken
about this, like not only are we photographers, we're documentarians,
we're historians. We're we're documenting how life has lived in
our times that we are a part of right now,
right and maybe one day because when you think about history,
especially US anthropologists, when you talk about when we talk

(45:19):
about older times, what are some of the first things
they show our images of those times? And and I
imagine that same practice will be for our times one
hundred years from now when they look on the Hey,
what's happening in twenty twenty five, they'll discover robbers photos
just one, you.

Speaker 11 (45:35):
Know, like I mean, you won't be here to know it,
but yeah, yeah, just one, you know what, Like I'm
hoping that, like it will be easy enough to create
an AI of me that they could question whatever.

Speaker 16 (45:49):
It makes you think of Futurama and the talking heads
in the in the job.

Speaker 11 (45:53):
Let me tell you, as soon as they do that,
as soon as they do that, I want to try
to make one of Elmo.

Speaker 14 (46:00):
Right, yeah, like that dude has.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
A lot you know, you know, peace.

Speaker 11 (46:07):
But like you know, I always saw, like man like
that guy is an AI would be super super cool.

Speaker 16 (46:14):
Conversation, especially if the AI you know, had some coffee.

Speaker 9 (46:23):
Fumage.

Speaker 11 (46:26):
So I didn't know whether we should talk about this.
But it's just me and you now and the supervisors
left though. But so there was a there's a protest
today right now here in the state of California. There's
been a lot of of immigration protests for and against
both both sides. It's it got a little violent, or

(46:51):
actually a lot violent last night. Yeah, burning cars and
stupid things.

Speaker 9 (46:56):
I hear you.

Speaker 11 (46:56):
But but but but like that's no difference in what
happened and when the Lakers won the championship.

Speaker 16 (47:03):
Or happened at you know, January sixth, at the nation's capital.

Speaker 11 (47:07):
Oh no, it's way different than that because that actually,
to me was trying to unseat Yeah, government power, National
Guard wasn't called out.

Speaker 14 (47:16):
That was action like this. This this is like what
happens after a Lake show when.

Speaker 11 (47:25):
You know, I don't really see this as something that
is necessary to you know, go overboard with.

Speaker 9 (47:32):
But like.

Speaker 11 (47:34):
The data will show and you know what it maybe
if this experiment is taking place, whether we like it
or not, we'll know in the future whether it worked
or not. You know it Also know, we're gonna know
if this type of behavior is appropriate right on any side, right.

Speaker 16 (47:51):
You know, I would I'm gonna speak And this is
me as a Piani locker speaking on my behalf and
my perspective on this.

Speaker 9 (47:59):
You know, it's seems to be.

Speaker 16 (48:02):
The federal government seems to have a major beef with
California or particularly and the current president.

Speaker 9 (48:09):
And this is.

Speaker 16 (48:12):
Just it's, in my opinion, one, the federal government trying
to pull the levers, even though they may not even
have the right to.

Speaker 9 (48:21):
Pull those levers.

Speaker 16 (48:22):
But anything that this is just my personal opinion that
can because California is kind of the blue bastion, right
we say it. We know that it's more of a
purple state if anything. But it's definitely the Bay or
La what really makes this state blue. But we are
kind of the the blue of the nation. They look
to this as a blue state. Yes, yes, And and

(48:45):
you know so much of our money goes out to
support other.

Speaker 9 (48:48):
States in this nation.

Speaker 16 (48:51):
Yeah, yeah, so if we were I don't want to
go down that path, just knowing that this is to me,
this is like a power of pity, pat.

Speaker 11 (49:00):
Mat It's interesting to go down this path because this
is politics, and someone who studies politics, it worst, in
my opinion, to have a governor at odds with the
president of the United.

Speaker 16 (49:11):
States president at os with a governor that's civil war stuff.
We we and that's what those I don't even want
to care about it. It could, it could easily, and
that's what to me what Newson is saying. It's like
it's an overkill, right it was. It's not to that
level where things are out of control. City blocks are

(49:33):
not burning and stuff. No one's out there. Really, You'll
always have rebel rousers and people that come in that
try to see this kind of things you know, like
it makes you think of the George. For me, it
thinkes me think of George Floyd where the one they
found a damn officer was over here. He was the
one busting out the windows at the outle zone.

Speaker 9 (49:50):
They got it all on.

Speaker 16 (49:51):
Video, right, and trying to incite more violence, right, And
I think that's what this is just my opinion once again,
I think that's what's trying to be vote where didn't
he see they're they're crazy in California.

Speaker 9 (50:03):
And that's why we need, you know, and you know
this provoking.

Speaker 12 (50:08):
This is the one thing our National.

Speaker 11 (50:11):
Guard is made up of California, right, Definitely, these guys
are like in women.

Speaker 14 (50:18):
These women are sitting there like.

Speaker 9 (50:21):
Yeah, like there's so many.

Speaker 16 (50:23):
It's like someone that's that's And God bless all those
that have served and defend the freedoms of this nation,
and we thank you for that.

Speaker 9 (50:30):
But what kind of predicament is that to be?

Speaker 16 (50:33):
It has to be, it has to be, I mean,
and this has happened in many of country's in many
pasts where some have walked away, some have executed the
task and have harmed their own citizens. But often those
people regret those things to their to their dying days.

Speaker 9 (50:49):
Why why did I do this?

Speaker 16 (50:50):
You know, like, this is not why I served, I
protect from foreign enemies, not not this not being caught
up in in in a puppet master's theatrical play, right
at the expense of our people, right, And and it's it's, it's,
it's it's interesting how I've seen a lot of threads
where people that have supported the current administration said, yes,

(51:11):
they wanted to see immigration reform, but the cruelty that
this is being orchestrated under rating elementary graduations, and you know,
it's it's it's it's a level of evil and cruelty
that's done. And even though the numbers say that the
current administration has deported less than Biden has, but Biden
didn't have to bust out the national Guard, Biden didn't

(51:33):
have to make a huge spectacle, right, So why it's
so it's a it's a lot to it, brothers. Deep,
It's it's really deep, and it's and it's it's sad,
and it's unfortunate. You know, it's very tragic, and so
many people that care about this country, and I think
most most Americans want it, no matter what's political party

(51:53):
or Philly. Most of us want the same thing and
it's just different approach. Healthy, have a good pain, be
able to provide for our family, go on a vacation,
just the resources what we need to live Like the
Maslow's hierarchy. We all kind of want those things, right,
And I think that we forget how this nation was founded.
First of all, this this land was people already were here,

(52:16):
right and and but when we look at the how
this nation was formed in a in an off of exploitation,
off of genocide, right, this is what kind of started
this nation. And then fleeing the reign of tyranny, of
being under a monarchy, under a king and wanting not
to pay that, you know.

Speaker 9 (52:33):
And then look at where we're at now, where we're we're.

Speaker 16 (52:36):
Going that direction where we have someone that seems that
they really want to be a king, uh uh, you know, authority,
you know.

Speaker 11 (52:43):
In what I could add to that is that I
think this was necessary for It's a necessary stage for
for a form of government to mature. Like I think
we need to deal with someone like this one time,
right to make sure we put in the mechanisms for
the next time.

Speaker 16 (53:03):
That we don't know what it looks like he knows
what it smells like, so you already know right off rip.

Speaker 11 (53:07):
Because he could be way, you know, like he could
just say I'm not listening to.

Speaker 16 (53:11):
Nobody, and that's kind of what he's been doing thus far.

Speaker 11 (53:14):
But to me, it feels to me, it feels like
the judiciary, even though he personally can't be held accountable,
the underlings below him can, right, and that scares them.

Speaker 9 (53:29):
For some of them.

Speaker 16 (53:30):
I mean, some people are exiting stage left where they're like, hey,
I'm just gonna steer clear and get up out the way.

Speaker 11 (53:36):
Think of you think of Musk did something wrong, He's
gonna get a pardon now.

Speaker 16 (53:41):
Or vice versa, right, because you know, Must that whole
fallout is crazy, right, Oh my god, Must was insinuated
that he had some some some bombshell stuff on Trump, right,
and then he deleted all these things, right, so you
al with shoot.

Speaker 14 (53:56):
Fish in a butter, and then he became one of
the fish.

Speaker 16 (53:59):
And then but into what what the President was also
saying was that, you know, and people are saying that
Elon Musk has some issues with some some substances, right,
so who knows, you know.

Speaker 9 (54:11):
What I mean? But it they were.

Speaker 16 (54:13):
They were bosom buddies at first, and and and Elon
put over two hundred and same five.

Speaker 9 (54:18):
Million dollars in the campaign.

Speaker 16 (54:20):
So something something has happened where they've fallen out my theory,
and this is just me speaking for myself.

Speaker 9 (54:27):
I think Eli's like, oh my damn, Tela Stock is
going to hell. Let me let me get over here
to get out. I don't support that bill either, buy
my cars.

Speaker 14 (54:38):
This is this is what I think happened.

Speaker 11 (54:40):
I think Elon Musk got a little wild in the
Oval office and the Secret Service roughed him up, and
he was embarrassed by that because Elon Musk would be
someone that would never ever get roughed up.

Speaker 14 (54:53):
He would have his security rough him of other people.

Speaker 9 (54:56):
Right allegedly allegedly Listen.

Speaker 11 (55:01):
Yeah, I'm just trying to think of all this crities.
But this kind of politics interests me team. I know
it hurts people. There is a hurting aspect, but there's
also a healing aspect to this that will come as
we get through it.

Speaker 16 (55:16):
I pray that we get there sooner than later, because
it's needed. This nation was built off of people coming
from all around the world, and it will always be
built on something everywhere from everywhere. Right, So I think
as long as we stay true to loving and respecting
one another and knowing that our diversity is is our beauty.
That's what's beautiful about this nation and coming together to

(55:38):
make sure we all have what we need because there's
enough resources for everyone.

Speaker 9 (55:42):
It really is.

Speaker 11 (55:44):
It's all right to speak up. It's also all right
not to speak up. It's all right to give aid
in certain ways through your platforms or whatever. But it's
also all right to step back and just watch and
be patient. Right, All these things are all right because
we don't know how this is all going to play out,

(56:04):
and and it's it's it could end up with some
good things.

Speaker 9 (56:09):
Let's let's hope.

Speaker 14 (56:11):
Don't not be totally negative, right.

Speaker 16 (56:14):
No, let's hope that is the case. And I'm a
little bit different. I feel like each of us has
a part that we can play. I don't in a
positive life. I want people to engage conversations that need
to be had in a positive light in hopes of
finding solutions that address the needs for all of our community,
not not nothing that's dividing or cultivating more hate or division.

(56:37):
Like I'm not for that, but I feel like we
all have a part to play as a.

Speaker 11 (56:41):
Care style nonviolence totally totally use your brain.

Speaker 16 (56:46):
One thing I want to shout out real quick is
that's happening this next Sunday, in partnership with the Unitarian
Universalist Church of Riverside and their Social and Environmental Justice
Committee and Interfaith Movement for Human Integory. We have Congressmen
Marked to Kno coming out to speak. It's basically the event.
It's called Faithful Action, a conversation with Congressman Mark to'cano.

(57:06):
This is going to be happening Sunday, June fifteenth, from
ten am to twelve thirty pm. He's going to do
his I don't want to say a sermon, but they
invite guest speakers at the service. He's going to be
doing that and it's going to be followed by a
community form. So we just wanted to spread the word
on that is a free event. Light snacks and refreshments
will be provided. It'll be an opportunity to engage with

(57:29):
one of her congressmen, Congressman Mark Takano so of the
thirty ninth ward I believe. So I just wanted to
put that out there invite everyone as well, and then
finally some positive news. The healing circles that I was
orchestrating will basically the Rhode Island. I believe I might
have this wrong, but the Rhode Island Supreme Court had
just the federal government had pulled some grant funding, but

(57:52):
the Rhode Island Court said that was wrong and the
funding has been reinstated. So that allows me to do
my final healing circle and that will be taking place
June twenty first, Saturday, June twenty first at Operation New
Hope from eleven am to one pm. Or We'll be
raffeeling off two hundred dollars worth of gift cards and
cash prizes. It'll be light snacks.

Speaker 9 (58:14):
There you go.

Speaker 16 (58:15):
Yeah, But I say all that, but the whole thing
is to cultivate community, to cultivate, to address the device,
to to heal our community, to be healers within our community.

Speaker 11 (58:24):

Mama today. I love you, reporter, and if you any
