Transcript
Can you explain what goes on with these NOS's? Like how do NOS's create a system that the more we spend and in the last 10 years, City of Los Angeles I think has increased homeless spending by 10x and the homeless population has doubled and clearly it's gotten a lot worse. What's the role that the NOS's actually play in this? >> Well, first off, when you said homelessness 2x, homelessness 200x when Mayor Bass in the debate was like it's down 17%. These are the most cooked numbers. Even the Rand Corporation says what they're saying is 30% increase, but they just drive around and they go one,
two, three, four, five, six. They're not going in under these encampments and bridges and bushes and unzipping these tents and going into the sewer. So, we don't even know the count. But let me tell you my first experience with NOS's after the Palisades fire, fire aid, 100 million raised. Every single person I talk to messaging me, no one's getting this money, no one's seeing a dollar. I go to Washington, I ask senators to investigate this. We open up the case. Now all a sudden fire aid puts out a legal letter to defend themselves in their own legal letter from the law firm. They say several of these NOS's gave directly to fire victims. The list for the 100 million is 200 plus. Google
several. It's under 10. So even in their defense they're telling you and again I don't believe one of those 10 gave directly. The people that they said did like we gave gift cards. Who would you give gift cards to? You don't think one fire victim? and they're messaging me all day long said, "Hey, I got a $500 gift card."
