Because it gives them a sense of what leadership looks like on a national level.

So I think a lot of people turned away from the Democratic Party in the last election, because if you look at some of these metropolitan areas, these cities,

they have not been you know governed well by local democrats and i'm not making that up i'll give you a specific example in the case of los angeles we have the largest homeless population of any other part of this country right these people

need to get off the streets.

They need to be placed either in the appropriate facilities, by the way.

Some people, housing is the answer.

Other people, they need more help.

They might have severe mental health issues.

They might have severe drug addiction issues.

You have to cater to what is causing homelessness for these specific people, right?

That's the point I want to make.

Well, under the leadership of Karen Bass, who's, by the way, now under a federal audit and it started under the Biden administration, this is not a politically motivated thing.

The audit exists because so much of the money that the well, like the kind hearted people in our city voted in favor of raising their own taxes to provide more resources, more revenue to state and local government so they can actually provide help for the homeless people.

Right.

I've been doing investigative reporting about where that money actually went.

Perfect example.

Lots of these nonprofits that are scams.

One of these nonprofits, their whole purpose was to just provide a parking lot, space in a parking lot for people to place their tents.

But each space needed to have a little platform.

The city finally got pressure to go visit and see what's going on in this parking lot.
