At Corolla 1 Studios with Adam Carolla and board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on a judge. We've got to mandate. Get it on. Welcome to show. Dr. Drew's back.

He's in studio. We have a guest. A couple of guests today. Claire Brown is here. Jeff Peoples here as well. Now, they do other things, but one of the things they do is. specialized in human trafficking, which is, I'm sad to say, is a problem in 2006. And yeah, the mic sound a little bit weird, Chuck, I will say, or at least different than they

normally do. So Drew was right off air. But, well, why don't you introduce yourselves and why don't you just tell us a little about your background vis-a-vis this subject? So I'm Claire Brown. I founded the Power Women platform that went viral. started it by accident and launched a podcast, published a book, and then started doing a segment in Arkansas for NBC and CBS, and then recently interviewed Epstein survivors. And so that's why

we're here today. Well, my primary job isn't this either. Like you said, I have been in the anti-trafficking world for about six years now, mostly advocacy and fundraising type of position. but about a year ago I went into and started an organization called the Philomena Initiative where I will actually be in the streets looking, trying to bring young victims home. Here in Los Angeles or just wherever? In West Texas. I live in Midland, Texas, so it's out there where I live there and trying to combat it there, which is it's a rural area, but it's surprisingly dense with this because of the immigration

traffic and other factors out there. But that's what I do. So what is the most common? form of this human trafficking? Well, it's mostly, most of it's sex trafficking, but a lot of it's also highly a labor trafficking issue as well. Most, most of them are sex trafficking 90 percent, over 90 percent are young females. Most, contrary to popular belief, most are not immigrants.

That's a little bit of a misnomer. It's never, it's never been a Liam Neeson movie where someone comes in a van. and grabs a child. It's usually someone you know, usually vulnerable, vulnerable young women. Yeah. What about the regulations and the laws surrounding this? Like, basically in Los Angeles, we decided to decriminalize essentially prostitution. And like everything we do, it kind of made everything worse. But I don't know how that affects this aspect of it. It affects it greatly. because so the idea that there's a gun being held to some of these young women's head to do this is false. It's a process of grooming and basically, you know, over a period of time turning them into zombies for these pimps and these Johns out there.

So they started grooming. Average age is about 14 years old. They do that from homes that are certainly broken homes almost every single time. something in Texas, I think 70 to 80% of the children who are traffic come from CPS. So it's really based on that. So technically speaking, there's no one holding them, making them do this, commit crimes. One thing that these pimps do, as soon as they get them to go out there and do their first job, they get them an arrest.

So they will work with a local police officer and have them arrest them. Now they got a record for this. And now they can't really do anything else. So they're kind of stuck in the life. So they get them arrested. 100%. It's so, you know, the thing about criminals is they're so fluid. They'll just do anything.

And I don't mean anything morally. I just mean wherever the crack is, wherever they can exploit it, whatever you try. You know what I mean? You go, well, let's just decriminalize it. And then we decriminalize it. They'll always figure out a way. And that's why you can only just sort of round them up by force and lock them up. Because they will exploit everything all the time.

So it's not, as we've heard about illegals coming across the border as much as it's a local problem. Now, the labor part of this is more what's coming across the border. or is that also local? It's also local, but that one's more immigrant coming across the border. That comes along with your mostly East Asian. That's where also you get the massage parlor culture. Oh, right. Where they are brought in under auspicious reasons of you're coming here to have a job,

learn English, become an American after a certain period of time, and they get here and these people control their visa. And so they can't do anything. Right. And so they're stuck doing that. So a lot, and now what are, I want to make a point on that is a lot of men kind of casually talk about massage parlor culture. And it's kind of amazing.

It's almost a much guys are running joke, right? I feel like that's become a new option for young men that was never contemplated. All of a sudden, I started hearing them talking about it. Do you wear this? Like about eight years ago, I started hearing about it? I can tell you, first off, I know everyone says this, but this is just not. my world at all. I've never, I've never, I've never wanted to be with a prostitute or anything, even though I've had definitely needed one a time or two, but I never, it was never my mindset,

but you're from, I was in Houston and I went down, I was staying at a hotel, I didn't know the area that well, I had shows that night, I had nothing to do during the day, and I was like, you know, there's a mall across the street from it. I'm just going to go, go into that massage place and just get a massage. Oh, wow. And I went in there, and it was the Asian ladies in like a strip mall out in Houston. And I was like, everything was like a little weird. And I was like, I'm used to more the Burke Williams vibe, you know, a little more of a corporate vibe, you know? And I like laid down there, and she was like asking weird questions and kind of

moving her hands in a weird way. And I was like, is this what, is this one of these places? I just played dumb tourists and I think she knew that I wasn't in there for that, but she was definitely kicking tires. That's what that meaning I was probably one of the few guys who just went in there and just actually wanted a massage. And that was in Houston. Well, that's one thing I try to do is change the thought process for men on that. This is trafficking. You are contributing to human trafficking. You may joke it and make a laugh about it and poke friends with your buddies, but.

these women are traffic. This is not an unsurious thing. It's a very serious thing. And you need to stop doing it and supporting because if there wasn't customers, it wouldn't be a business. Yeah. I mean, the unfortunate part of that is like prohibition and drugs.

And I mean, there's always going to be a healthy appetite for all things, drugs, all things, sex, all things, alcohol, you know,

all gambling, you know, like whatever those vices are, there's just going to be a percentage of men, mostly, but humans, they don't want to gamble, man. And you can shut it down, but they'll just open a game in the parlor in their basement. You know, like, sadly, sort of getting them to do the right thing. It's kind of like all the grift with the Somalians in Minneapolis, and it's like all the stuff in L.A.

where it's like, people are just going to take the money, man. I want them to do the right thing, and it'd be nice if they did the right thing. the system needs to be kind of eradicated, in my opinion. Well, I mean, the system, and my thought process is on it, and what I've seen, you know, there was a politician in Texas a few years ago. He had a famous line. It was, nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. That was Ron, I can't remember his last name, famous guy.

His son's still a senator from Kentucky, but that's true. But for whatever reason, the idea of stopping human trafficking, the idea has not come because people just aren't jumping on board. We had a moment when, you know, the sound of freedom came out where a lot of people, I bought out a couple of theaters trying to get people to come in and see it. Angel Studios movie. Yeah. And everyone attacked the guy who was doing it. You notice that? How quickly that happened?

Yes. It was very weird that this guy will get his name in a second. it escapes me right now. But I was like, you guys are trying to smear the guy who's trying to risk his life to stop human trafficking. And it seemed very concerted. Tim Ballard was the name. And it also seemed confusing, but it also felt like really coordinated. Like a lot of stuff now feels very coordinated.

Is there an NGO? I don't know. Maybe it's just the gangs of so much money now that they can do it. Or politicians. Yes, politicians, yes. You can call it human trafficking all you want, but what it really is is slavery. You can dress it up all day long, and nobody really wants to call it what it is. And then how long ago did we outlaw that?

And then why, you know, alcohol, drugs, sex in and of itself as an addiction, it really only affects who and what. But then really, if you human traffic someone, it's really going to affect a lot of other people. The domino effect of that is massive. Yeah, I mean. There's a much broader issue. You know, the political side of it is the left started using the phrase sex working community. And it's like probably sex working community. I remember when you used to be sympathetic to making victimless crimes less onerous.

Do you remember that? Well, I was always for marijuana being. legalize. You almost never changed your position, but I think you did change on that one. Probably. I was for a version of prostitution that was legal in that the people were of age, and they were doing it of their own volition, and they were sort of, you know, they were like registered and stuff. Well, I'm not like. In Holland, they tried to do that. Does that work? I mean. Or are those all trafficked women also? I don't know. I know. I know this. they're very regulated, like they're, you know, STD testing and all that stuff.

Well, we had the pussy, the bunny ranch and stuff like that. They were under the thumb of, what's his name? The bunny ranch direct. Okay, let's put it to you this way. If in there's going to be prostitution, and thank you for attempting shit on my point here. No, no, I'm not cheating. Yeah, I'm sure.

Yes, you are. I know what you're doing. Listen, there is going to be prostitution like there's going to be marijuana. use. And we may not like it. But I advocate for if you own a home and you want to smoke marijuana, then you should have a marijuana plant in your backyard if you want and then you can smoke it. If you get pulled over high, then you're going to get into trouble. And if you're selling it to kids, then you're going to get into trouble. But as an adult, you can engage in this. There's going to be

prostitution, oldest job in the world. So a safer version of it that doesn't involve. what we're talking about would be what I would advocate for. But isn't that all relationships anyways? All prostitution? Yeah. I mean, are all relationships not giving take of what you want anyhow, whether it involves money or not? Yeah, all relationships are sort of...

Transactional. Chuck is here because I pay him to be here. And if I stopped paying him, he would stop showing up. So I'm paying him for be a place. He doesn't want to be here. doing something he doesn't want to do. Exactly. That's right. So, yes, of course.

I was a, you know, I was a carpenter. I'd be busting up stucco with a chipping hammer all day in the hot heat, the dust and everything. Because I was getting nine bucks an hour. Yeah. Otherwise it'd be home. Yeah. And I mean, I get, I get that. I guess what I'm saying is to answer Dr. Drew, I am for a version of this that is.

that isn't the Wild West. And right now it's the Wild West. And I feel the same way, sort of about drugs that way, too. I think there's a bigger difference here that we're not, the grooming portion of this is what we're not addressing. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. And so it is a huge manipulation that then goes into what Jeff was referring to.

It's similar to a Stockholm syndrome. Or drug addiction. Those are the two ways that they, because on the streets of Los Angeles, the game. gangs traffic all the women. Are you aware of that? Every woman on the street here is traffic. No, I haven't been in a gang. There's a line of the street called Bisonnet in Houston.

It's nothing but that. Well, the gang's here control it. I'm wondering that's where the money's coming from. But I also interviewed Danuska de Georgi. Do you remember she's one of the Epstein people? Okay. And she talked about her, she was not as effusive in her anger towards Epstein as she was towards Gislay and Maxwell.

Same with Laura McGee. Because she did the grooming. Yeah. And she was a woman. Yeah. So it's a double, double sort of whammed. So did you, so talk about that. Yeah, that was it.

And both women, it was like you would expect. It's a woman. I'm going to trust her. And then they did. They'd exchanged, you know, intimate details about one another, gained deep trust and intimacy. And then because of that, that was what was held over them for so long. Well, and Gislaan's her way of doing it also was, you're so special, you're so beautiful. You've got some talents.

We can see we're going to develop this. And it's like, oh, oh, and they just sort of manipulate them into this world and all of a sudden they're in it. Well, and by trusting so much, she was like, tell me your hopes, tell me your dreams, what do you want? And then it was, oh, I can connect you. I know all the people that can make that happen. Right. And then this is what that takes and we can do this and that and all the promises. And it's, you've got to also think of the adolescent ages and phases of these girls is where the ego is developing and they want acceptance and approval so deeply.

And they may have some issues at home that sort of make them. Oh, they definitely got issues. Well, that's the thing. They're not at home. Yeah. Right. These children are. Child protective services, a lot of them.

No. Well, that's the group. Yes. Yes. A lot of the children in Florida. That was the case. And a lot of these girls are models. They're overseas on a work visa.

So their parents are not even present. And so, you know, you think I'm allowing my child to chase their hopes and their dreams. And I'm doing the best thing for them. And then in reality, they're being groomed, taking advantage of, and they have no idea. And then they, as the victim, survivor, hold on to this shame and this fear for years and never tell anyone or come forward. So you interviewed the victims of Epstein? How many in total? Two.

Oh, just the two we're speaking up. Correct. Yeah, and the key thing about those two, they don't do interviews, never have. They're currently two of the ones that are in the lawsuit, too in the Department of Justice for the release. So they're high profile, but they don't trust the media. So that was why they chose Claire as the outlet, because they fully trusted her to do the right thing by then.

Well, so, Claire, you could speak to this. It's always a back and forth sort of political football. What are they releasing? Why aren't they releasing? They said they were going to release it. This hurts the Clintons. This hurts Trump. That's why Trump doesn't. Well, why didn't Biden release it when he was in charge? Yeah, I'm starting to swim here a little bit, but maybe you could tell us. Well, I don't really know that answer. I mean, I haven't been in any administration. Frankly. But you've interviewed the two victims. Right. And the very first report was in 1994, which was in Clinton's administration. And so we've gone five administrations now without investigations fully, without, you know, prosecutions and everything that needs to be happening. Did anyone you interviewed say any names, I guess is what I'm saying?

Yes and no. Because of the pending lawsuits, they cannot name those names, especially all. on camera. So there are limitations. Where was the yes? Off. Off camera. You know the guy that did that law,

the second prosecution in Florida against Epstein? I never hear from him. He was the one that was told to stand down. It was like a local DA or something. Yeah, I'm curious what he's got. No one ever goes to him. We need to take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.

So is it, is the new world order that they have something on everybody and no one's going to do anything because they have something on everyone? Or do they use it for political purpose? Are they, is it something that has a market that they use?

So speaking, you know. We said he had a theory. I do. I do. So, you know, and I want to preface this by saying. Laura is a very high profile, unbelievable brave lady out there for what she does and what she risks to do it. But, you know, talking to her, you know, we'd all heard the, you know, the Israeli government theory out there that he's some type of Mossad guy who's out there trying to put. Oh, Epstein's a Mossad guy.

Yeah, trying to put important Americans into compromising positions and then rob them, of course. And I am not a conspiracy theory guy. And I didn't believe that at first. But then her kind of telling the stories of what the machination of that relationship was. She was sent out to bring powerful men to his home. To Epstein. To Epstein's home. And that was Maxwell.

And we're talking about the island. We're talking about his home in New York. No, no, no. His home in New York and just bring him into the spear of it. Yeah. That to me just smells of it. Well, I mean, let. video cameras in every room in that department.

That's how they bribe Laura and Charlene. They compromised them and then use that against them. That's the thing that's not being released the most, is that every single person that ever entered any of these properties was videotaped for everything. Every room. Everything. I mean, we're talking parties. We're talking abuse.

We're talking just meetings. It doesn't matter. And none of those recordings are being released, and they need to. So, you know, there's kind of a new world order, which is interesting, which is in the past, if you wanted to take over, you had to get planes and tanks and, you know, to kind of roll in, you know, and do it, do it mechanically. The old fashion way. You old fashion way. Wait until the hunt did it. Yeah.

Yeah. And so now no one can really physically do that to our country, the disson. don't have the, they don't have the military to do it. But they figured out that, you know, we can't go over there and we can't bomb the United States. But we can pay a lot of money to a lot of agitators and they'll just get over there and just protest, they'll raise hell and they'll just fight in the streets and there'll be a race war and they'll burn the city town to the ground and stuff.

And it's like, it's pretty, it's pretty effective. You know, you can't light a bomb, you can't bomb us, but you can do us. And then that's what this feels like. It just feels like, look, we're not going to be able to run these governments, but we can get a hold of the goods on a handful of people that are running the government. And then we can kind of de facto run the government because we have the goods on everyone who's running the government. Right. But to your point of how many administrations this has gone through, I mean, when all of this does come to light, we're going to see a huge cleansing of money and power,

which I feel that the American people are really ready for. And the fact is, is that this is really a men's issue. And so women have been screaming about things of this nature for centuries. And so when men choose to start marching, burning, everything else as well with us, things probably and should change. And that is what it's going to take. I think whenever both sides get caught, that's what leads to nothing. because there's political expediency for one side doing it to the other or the other side doing it to the other, but when they're both sort of there, then there's a general tamp it down.

No one does anything. But that's why nothing's being done. Yeah. I believe the Epstein issue is the bowling point. I think if we don't turn this over us to society and figure it out and bring down these people, I don't think we ever will stop this. You know, there are tons of guys out there doing what I'm doing very quietly, but we can be wildly successful and not put a dent in this problem. And until the government is fully on board with fighting it, it will never end. And I don't believe it will if we just allow this incredibly societal wrong just to go unpunished and keep it hidden.

The Florida State Attorney we're talking about is Alexander Acosta. That's the name. It was put on my screen. Epstein thing. There's so many things I wish would just go away. I mean, just do them and let's not talk about it anymore. It's so weird. It's also, it's funny.

I've spent my adult life. I, you know, from zero to 25, I didn't know the name of one terrorist organization. Right. Now I have to remember 13 terrorist organizations and countries I've never heard of, but now I have to know the name of the country. And now I have to hear about Epstein every 20 minutes my adult life. It's so insane that we're like bathing in this. And I don't know, Pam Bondi's going to drop the whole thing that she never did or she promised she would,

but it was nothing and now she's gone. It all, look, it's got a lot of, If there's smoke, there's fire to it. There's obviously this is big swamp stuff, and there's lots of people. It doesn't need to be the president. It could be lots of people who don't want this out, and they're pulling strings. Right. And it's just like in Nixon's administration.

Nixon didn't go to prison, but his attorney general sure did. I mean, and that's probably what you're looking at, which is why they just had an investigation appointed in April for all of this to be investigated for the AG to see if there is a cover-up and what that looks like. So I think that is on the right track, and we're going to get there. Well, what is a prediction for you? Like, what is some kind of a timeline for Epstein and prediction? I don't know that we're going to see that in this administration, unfortunately.

I think that we're – but I do hope and I do think that we eventually will see everything come out, but I don't think it will be in this administration. I think it's going to be like the Kennedy files. I don't think we ever will. I don't think we ever will. Yeah. Yeah, but if Kamala Harris gets voted in, and we're not going to see it with her either, right?

Do you think she's going to be voted in? No, but the point is it doesn't matter who's in there. It doesn't matter. No, yeah, but I had to pick somebody from the other side. I got you. It's got to have some international component to it, right? I'm assuming. And it does.

It does. It does. Like, deeply, many, many national, international components. But it's got to be that they've asked us not to, we owe them favors, whatever. It's just quid pro quo in some fashion. Yeah, it would disrupt the whatever. International relations, right? I do think in general the Trump fear because everyone got weaponized to get rid of Trump

or not to let him get in. There's a general status quo that is enjoyed by the right and the left and everyone in between, just like there's a status quo that is enjoyed by drug cartels. and if an unknown who's erratic is going to come in, that may screw up the status quo. Yeah, it's like, I think the thing about criminals or drug traffickers or human traffickers or corrupt politicians, all they want to know is we can sort of keep doing what we're doing. And we don't like question marks. I agree with you.

However, hold on. It's like a prison with a warden. you know the guy what he does and what he doesn't do you still get busted for trying to break out but you know the guy and then someone goes we're getting a new warden and you go I don't want that guy because I've already created this system that works with this warden very well

and they go well the new guy maybe I don't that guy could possibly screw with what we're doing here it smacks a profound corruption though yes it really is just horrible indictment of the current status well look around doesn't isn't all now corruption with everything? But I think one of the appeals of Trump is that he goes and does things and just really doesn't care.

He doesn't care about people's opinion. He doesn't care what people think. He just does it. And so it's really going to take someone else coming in there that is very much the same way. It just doesn't care. But here's the thing. But only cares with integrity and justice. Yeah, I agree that that's what they're worried about is someone who doesn't care.

But here's the question. is the machine going to let another person that doesn't care into the party? Because I don't see the machine letting him do it. They basically turned the DOJ and the FBI and everyone on Trump because that's the machine part that didn't want a deal that wanted to keep the status quo. You can go, well, you're saying the FBI or criminals? I go, no, but the FBI was doing whatever they were doing, and they did not want to be interrupted by an outsider

who may have disrupted what they were doing, you know. And we figured out the machine's pretty powerful. Yeah. It's really hard to be held accountable as adults when you act like children. But, you know, now there's the internet and podcasting and Elon Musk and acts and stuff and Joe Rogan and maybe the machine can be defeated a little bit.

I mean, I think we're kind of, We're kind of getting to that. Last question. World Cup. I've heard. No, I don't have any World Cup thoughts other than, can we all stop pretending to like soccer? It's nauseating. It's so fucking boring.

Like, who cares? Like, I was talking to someone yesterday. They go, I'm going to New Zealand playing Iran. I'm like, I hope they both lose. Now, trafficking vis-a-vis the World Cup. I've heard this is an opportunity for this. The greatest in the world. The greatest in the world.

Yeah, it is unbelievable how much goes on. We have worked with organizations that have trained airports and people that work there. So World Cup, meaning are we bringing folks into the United States for the World Cup in terms of trafficking? A little bit of both. I mean, and then the ones that come in are looking for to make that purchase here in the United States to work it that way. You mentioned the Stockholm syndrome. Presumably these people are coming in volitionally under their stock. So, so, delusion.

Generally what happens, and I think, you know, the great interviews she did with Lauren Charlene, their circumstances were a little bit different than the typical one. The typical traffic child in the United States is a, the grooming starts at around 13 years old. And the reason it does so is, you know, your physician, the decision-making part of the brain is not developed yet. They're almost exclusively come from vulnerable children for broken homes. So they slowly groomed them with the same type of malicious activity like, you know, your parents, your family doesn't care about you. We're your family now. Okay.

We're the ones who will take care of you. We're the ones that'll love you. Within a year or two, they got them in the field. They got them on the streets. They're doing the work. And that's how they become broken. Now, they broke that young lady, more than likely a young lady, almost to a level that cannot be recovered. I worked in Houston also with a recovery.

home. You can't recover very many. They go back. Yeah. They're like addicts. They go back out. Because they don't understand the idea of work. Even when they do kind of get it and their disorder in recovery, out they go. The saddest part is we're not going to be able to save very many of them. Because the money that they're given is providing for their family, their lifestyle. Even when it's not, it has an addictive quality to it. They go back out. And some can get better. Some do get better. It's not like it's impossible. It's a programming. The recovery home is an unbelievably great thing.

It teaches them vocation. It first addresses the psychiatry part of the issue, but then it gets into a vocation and tries to get them into a normal lifestyle. But most of them are too broken. I mean, it just cannot happen, but we try. We always try. So where can people go if they want to find out more about this and what you're doing or donate or volunteer?

here or any of that stuff. Go ahead. So you can go to thepowerwomen.org, and you can find our episodes there and learn all about that. And then you can go to the human trafficking phone number if you know of anybody that's being trafficked right now. Yeah, I was just talking to Andrew,

who was just in New York, our producer, last weekend, and he went to an inexpensive hotel because I don't pay him enough to go to an expensive hotel. And he found these human trafficking hotline numbers in the hotel room around the hotel. I used to look at it and I go, really? Really? But yes, I guess sadly. They're the primary focus of my investigation work in West Texas, city hotels.

Wow. Incredible. Because there's no street in West Texas. It's city hotels. Claire, Jeff, thank you for doing the Lord's work. We appreciate you. We'll take a break. We'll be right back after this.

I looked at this clip on X, and I almost thought that it was AI generated, but it's young kids and adults at a Tesla cafe. Tesla's try to do like an, I think an old source. school kind of Bob's big boy, pull up and serve, whatever.

And recharge your car. Yeah, and there's kind of a thing, I guess, in our society is a bigger picture, which is, I think a lot of folk, they just want sort of orderly and clean and nice and safe. And the other group says they don't want whatever the other person wants, but they don't say that part. Right. Because they're protesting ICE or Black Lives Matter, Elon Musk or Teslas or something. Yeah.

But they always protest it with garbage and fire. You know what I mean? It's never whatever their version of anything is. Right. It's just I'm going to. It's not no alternative. You got to talk into the, use the microphone. No alternative.

Yeah. I know you're new to the mic. Yeah. All right. So this now, but the part that was scary, well, scary, I don't know, fascinating is they had kids were in on this one. Probably, and you got to find out, Andrew, where this is from. but they look like Santa Monica kids.

It says Los Angeles Diner. There's only one here. Oh, it's, all right. Sorry. The kids look like blonde, rich kids from Santa Monica. Of course, right? The first kid looks like he's eight, nine? Pre-pubescent, they'll give you that.

Well, I don't know. You're a doctor. How old? Hold on, pause. How old do you think this kid is? Ten. Ten. Ten, okay.

stupid fries that innocent Oh my God Look at them all What's it These are By the way Tennis the oldest kid

Yeah I'm gonna go more In the 8 and 9 range Oh who's the woman applauding there That's interesting She's the hero That's probably

That's the mom Right I don't know But By the way I Look When these guys are

Trying to get a job One day I pray Their Their employer Looks them up Yeah they're just, again, I don't know.

I'm so confused. Elon makes electric cars. It puts people on the moon. He bores tunnels. He creates millionaires and billionaires. All his cafeteria workers are all millionaires. Yeah. Everyone works at the Scoresexes and millionaires.

Yeah. So I don't know. Is he the problem? Drew, here's the problem. I don't understand this. It's so confusing. I've been yelling at you since someone put a mic in front of my face. Yeah.

I said, you're either contributing or you're not. I don't know why we have a problem with the contributors. If you're paying taxes and you're not involved with the law, then I don't have a problem with you. And you're building businesses that create other millionaires? Well, he's obviously an extreme version of I don't have a problem with him. But I'm just talking in general, like when they would go after. I remember you 20 years ago saying Santa Monica, great and a homeless, bad on taxpayers. Yes.

Yes. I do we have more of these kids yelling, by the way, it's kind of fun. And they're all dressed in what would have been, they all act like they went to Hot Topic for kids in the mall. And they're all wearing way more than my dad's net worth when I was 10 in cool fashion clothing. All right, here we go. Oh, yeah, there's a part. There's a part where she, this kid's, there's someone who's, there's someone who's, there's someone,

upstairs sort of looking off the balcony on the second floor and they're telling her to jump, which is nice. And there's they definitely seem like the sort of the surf or skateboarding kids of yours. Yeah. I don't know if they would have that

skill set now. This is just sort of their social outlet, right? Rather than just skating the yellow... I'm picturing pause it. I'm picturing me at age nine going to my dad. Hey man, I need you to buy me bullhorn. He'd be like, what?

What? I need a bullhorn. Are you nuts? Yeah. I'm thinking about buying you socks. That's a pretty heavy consideration. I'm going to talk to your mom about socks. You want a bullhorn?

But in a weird way, this may be the new transgender. Yeah. These all look like crossroads, Harvard Westlake kids. These are like private school, Santa Monica fucking kids. But the moms are there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's the thing. This is a sort of munchausen by proxy thing. I don't, what I keep asking over and over again is I thought the kids were supposed to rebel against their retarded parents.

Well, I'm either, either they're going to go way bad when they hit 13, 14, or they're going to rebel against their parents, right? No, I don't think anyone rebels against their parents anymore. That's the whole thing. My thing was like, my parents are are retarded and I'm not fucking doing anything they did. Oh, that's interesting. And I've seen firsthand what my mom's politics got her and my grandmother and these bitches are crazy and I'm just going to embrace a completely different system than them. But it is, it is curious to me and interesting to me when the kids are picking up and running and doing what their parents did, you know, like you're supposed to be pushing back again. It's hard. It's hard for us to get that. Remember, our thing from our age group was elevating the antisocial. That was our thing.

What do you mean? We elevated antisocial personalities to deity statuses. They learned to play the guitar, they abused women, whatever. They were the best. And we rebelled like them. This is something different. This is something new. This is, well, first off, this is all roads lead to narcissists. Oh, for sure. This is the kids. But the mom's narcissism, though, right? Yeah, yeah. I mean, then the kids, kids natural narcissism. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I got to say this, man. I don't know if it was lock and yada. I don't know what happened, but my kids are so fucking normal. It is so insane. How normal. My, I talked to my daughter last night. Her whole thing is I'm going wakeboarding. I'm wakeboarding.

Yeah, good. and I got scuba certified and I went skydiving. It's amazing. Fucking live in life and enjoying the shit out of it. Not an ounce of politics, normal. My son is too pragmatic to go for this bullshit. He knows he's got his dad's pragmatism and he sniffs out this bullshit early. So he's normal.

They're the two most normal kids you could possibly raise in Los Angeles. It's incredible. I think. it was moving to La Cagnada. Because if they moved in next door to these half of bags in Santa Monica, they could be fucked up too. Yeah. Although I think, I think dad being super, me being super normal,

like building around them and stuff, I'm the most normal. I'm the quintessential normal. There's no more normal than me. I thought you always thought yourself is exceptional. That would be not normal. I am gifted, but that's my pragmatism. It's normal.

No, no. Giftedness comes from the pragmatism. No, my gift gives me my pragmatism. I can break down any problem and figure it out and then figure out what's motivating it and why and all that, which obviously I try to explain every once in a while to a politician and they don't, they have a different take on it. they are not in the pragmatic world. Well, look, I said to a politician I've told before I'll make it fast, but there's a lot of illegal dumping of materials, construction materials. I go, look, who's dumping this material?

These are Mexicans who are in Mexico. They're doing all the building in this thing and they're not going to pay the dump 200 bucks. I know. We hate it. Go down the Home Depot, get certificates, have guys stand by the door. We see the Latino contractor guys come out. Give them a fucking voucher. You can go use the dump and they'll also get a 12 packet of Tocati.

If they turn it in to the dump. Yeah. Or not. Or do nothing all the time. Again, you're getting at human motivation, which they'll have none of. They bid. They already gave you a low ball bid on busting out your guest room and rebuilding it, re-drywalling it or whatever for you. You think they want to spend, and by the way, the dump is absorbent.

It's out of the way and it's $300. That's coming out of their pocket. Or they can just go to the back street on a Sunday night and just dump it in the street. That's where it goes. Well, they're taking the path of least resistance. I wouldn't even say they're responding to normal motivation. Yes, normal motivation. It's not, they're not bad.

Well, I mean, they're not criminals. They're just doing what people do when they're not incentivized or incentivized. do something else. All right. It's like, look, you can see all kind of trash. Every kind of trash on the planet is available on the ground in Los Angeles, but not aluminum cans because someone will pay somebody to turn those in. Right.

So there's no aluminum cans. Everything else is on the ground. Yeah. If you let, if they turn that in for money, then that would be gone as well. I'm not saying they should. Are you saying people are greedy at them? saying people do whatever they do they do what every animal does

whatever's easier. You feed them they Yeah. All right. Last but not least, right. It's upsetting to see this thing. I don't know. I'm mostly amused by it because of how proud they are of themselves. But again, once again, just shouting

out at a parking lot, Elon Musk is nowhere near this and you're doing nothing except for making an answer yourself. Cussing. Horrible language. And calling people fashionists, but they don't even know what that means. They don't know what it means. All right. I went down to a job site today.

Ooh. And I filmed the foundation. Oh, I'm glad you brought this up. They had pulled the foundation out of the ground from the house that was built in, I guess, 195. Yes. And I'll show you what it amounted to. But hang on. You put it up on X.

Yes. And somebody's like, oh, you're talking to the telephone poles are going to be enough? And you said something like it's going to, you know, the pier has been built on telephone poles. It's been there 100 years. And I thought to myself, fucking Venice, Italy was built on wood poles. Yes. That's it. Yes.

Wood poles. Piles. For what, 2,000 years? 2,000 years ago? Yeah, I, yes. It's built on wood. First of all, wood is. But not just wood.

Poles. Piles. What's it doing? You've said polls ten times. I said piles nine and a half. I don't know the difference. Tell me. Well, they take a pole and they pile it.

And once it goes, it's not built. If you say it's built on poles, then it sounds like it's built on stilts. Okay. But you're using the word, that's why I keep seeing the word pile. Thank you. I did not know that. Well, you said thank me the first two times. Well, I didn't understand the difference.

It wasn't registered. You don't know what a pile driver is? I know what a pile driver is. I don't know the difference in a pile on a pile. pole. A pole is something A pole becomes a pile when you drive it into the ground. If you say it's built on poles, then it would... I understand

that now. All right. I get it. It's a great way. All right, here we go. They, before beginning construction, they have to pull all the existing piles, now poles, out of the ground. So this lot on the ocean was held up by a pile of poles.

which is I filmed them. It's literally seven what would be telephone poles averaging about 11 feet long that were just driven into the ground. And covered in creosote and look as good as they did the day they went in the ground. Now, I'm saying 70 years old. This could have been built in 1939. I don't know. It could have been built in 47. It was not built in 65.

Yes. It was built in the 50s or the 40s. It is telephone poles that were driven bang, bang, bang by a power driver into the earth until they stopped. And then I said to the guy, this guy's thinking up into crazy gringo. I walk. I park my car going there. There's always Mexicans. And they don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

And I come walking in there. And I go, I'm talking to the. the operator, the guy pulled him out of the ground in his tractor, his backhoe. And I go, excavator, I go, how far into the ground? They go, because you got to, they only hung out, they burnt down to the nub. Yeah, yeah. So whatever you see. Some of them are sticking out three or four feet by the end of the fire.

Yeah. So they're about eight or ten feet, just piled into the ground. They're about 12 inches. These, now what we're showing, a hundred yards away, By the way, it's what these people are going to have to do. These are caissons going five stories into the ground. Jesus. Five stores, three foot around.

So you can run it. Oh, my God. Or it's just a stilt. Wow. Shot with 3,000 yards of concrete. Up where I was, no concrete whatsoever. Just telephone poles. Bang to the ground.

Which, by the way, worked. Yeah. Works Italy. Venice, fucking Italy. And like I said, to peer up the street. was built in 1905 on telephone polls. Still there. Then somebody showed me a pier and, I don't know, whatever beach or whatever, they built

it all out of concrete. It's cracking and crumbling now. You know, the poles are actually better. You're right. There was a concrete one in Eliso Beach for many years down in Laguna and doesn't exist anymore. It came down. Right. So whatever worked, they're making you do something else that costs $3 million.

Before you do, you said one of those. the thing, like, they've known how to build before this. When was the Eiffel Tower built, you said? I know, well, the Eiffel Tower was built before regulations were there, but where it's still there. They knew what they were doing. Leave the fuck alone. Anyway, tomorrow, Santa Ana Ductor is going to be there.

We'll discuss the differences between piles and Palt. Jordan Family Car Classic Museum. We're showing the KREC deck, but they also, the cars are there, so check that out. Carson City, after. that.
