00:00:00
Can you explain what goes on with these
00:00:01
NOS's? Like how do NOS's create a system
00:00:05
that the more we spend and in the last
00:00:07
10 years, City of Los Angeles I think
00:00:08
has increased homeless spending by 10x
00:00:10
and the homeless population has doubled
00:00:11
and clearly it's gotten a lot worse.
00:00:13
What's the role that the NOS's actually
00:00:14
play in this?
00:00:15
>> Well, first off, when you said
00:00:17
homelessness 2x, homelessness 200x when
00:00:21
Mayor Bass in the debate was like it's
00:00:23
down 17%. These are the most cooked
00:00:25
numbers. Even the Rand Corporation says
00:00:27
what they're saying is 30% increase, but
00:00:30
they just drive around and they go one,
00:00:31
two, three, four, five, six. They're not
00:00:33
going in under these encampments and
00:00:35
bridges and bushes and unzipping these
00:00:37
tents and going into the sewer. So, we
00:00:39
don't even know the count. But let me
00:00:41
tell you my first experience with NOS's
00:00:43
after the Palisades fire, fire aid, 100
00:00:46
million raised. Every single person I
00:00:48
talk to messaging me, no one's getting
00:00:50
this money, no one's seeing a dollar. I
00:00:52
go to Washington, I ask senators to
00:00:54
investigate this. We open up the case.
00:00:56
Now all a sudden fire aid puts out a
00:00:58
legal letter to defend themselves in
00:01:00
their own legal letter from the law
00:01:02
firm. They say several of these NOS's
00:01:04
gave directly to fire victims. The list
00:01:07
for the 100 million is 200 plus. Google
00:01:10
several. It's under 10. So even in their
00:01:13
defense they're telling you and again I
00:01:15
don't believe one of those 10 gave
00:01:17
directly. The people that they said did
00:01:19
like we gave gift cards. Who would you
00:01:21
give gift cards to? You don't think one
00:01:23
fire victim? and they're messaging me
00:01:24
all day long said, "Hey, I got a $500
00:01:27
gift card."
