in his grip as his hwriting appeared in the new yk times, washington post, economists, los angeles times, l.a, previous books include texas punishment and boundaries of desire. he comes to us from san francisco. in conversation tonight we have judy miller, a peabody award-winning television correspondent national public radio commentary. working for abc news in 1990, miller has covid, among other stories 1992 rodney king trial, the 1994 north and o.j. simpson criminal trials for which she received an emmy award. we have some excellent guests here tonight. thank you for coming out one last time, allow me to pass it off to eric and judy. >> thanks a lot for that lovely introduction. it's -- but that's okay. you can correct it at the end of the show last i am thrilled to be talking today with eric. eric is truly one of the finest writers i know especially when ithe comes to tackling enormous subjects like the history of censorship in the west. i loved this book, most authors would be intimidated by the subject matter but eric has this great talent taking a subject and serving it up in delicious

but gina, i want to get a issue millions of parents care about and i mean where you are, los angeles and l.ae biggest county in the united states, 10 million people, millions of kids, schools locked down all of last year. how much of this reopening the economy is tied to kids being able to go back to school inth fall, not going back to virtual, because when they go to virtual a lot of families, particularly those that can't afford learning pods and nannies, they are going to not be able to go to work and that will damage the economy again. >> brian, i think that is a bigger comment than people are realizing. there was a go assumption that as we went into the summer, as cases fell and vaccinations started to slow, that we would turn the corner and one of the assumptions is normalcy and kids going back to school and parents finding new jobs or going back to existing jobs and that is a bigger component than we think buzz because if you don't have children going back to school, you have to deal with not being able to focus on your own job or find a job all of that locked up, pent up demand doesn

the meantime, the delta variant continues to spread in california, especially bad in los angeles county. the l.a. county city council members are urging people to get vaccinated. >> you not being vaccinated impacts the health of everybody else, so the argument that you have the right to not get vaccinated does not work anymore. jobina: the city council wants people to provide proof of vaccination to enter most indoor spaces, including bars, retail stores and movie theaters. it has also asked the city attorney to draft the legal language needed before the final vote. julian: today, back to the books for students at cal state east bay. they are moving back on campus, which has been shut down for a year and a half. amy is on campus this morning with more on the vaccination requirement for the faculty and students. amy: it is going to be a different year. how does a board game lounge sound? that will be one of the many offerings to track to meet students where they are, after a year of isolation, to help them academically and emotionally start this new year after the pandemic. here's examples of wha

angeles since january 2019th. you can see last month was the most, 46, site. homelessness is also a big problem in l.a. ere were 6640036 homeless people in los angeles. 13% increase from the year before. why are elected leaders focusing on other issues like guaranteed income, fail reform getting critical race theory in school? maybe save your kids, savior street, public safety first, priorities. joining me back to discuss california resident radio show host, mike slater. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. so mike, the other day i was getting ready to do my podcast and i'm sitting there and thinking liberalism is obviously far, everything it touches it destroys and burns down and it's obvious, it's not like you can't see it and i'm thinking to myself, are we all crazy like drug use, shoplifting, homicide? these are real dead bodies, not making it up. what's going on in los angeles, what when are people going to wake up and take without enough? >> we are to understand the filibuster. i'm going to say, this will not make sense in our brain but i'm telling you this is how he thinks. they believe the c

angeles area? >> yeah, we were running along with l.a. ghout the country, we were starting with the testing and then enter faction, and we continued to. there are less of the big supersites and much more of the mobile outreach trying to get into, in particular, the more marginalized communities but now trying to target areas that seem more invested in misinformation. ( applause ) >> stephen: i think i understand that core was something that you helped create in 2010, after the haiti earthquake that year. >> correct. >> stephen: because you went down there to help and created this. obviously, there was another earthquake down there. is core back down there? >> y ep. >> stephen: do you know what's going on? >> core never left. we've got 100 full-time haitian staff down there and they deployed that day, with medical and heavy equipment supporting the search and rescue and rubble removal. >> stephen: well, a lot of people, especially in our business, speak a good game about caring for those who need help. i like that you've, you know, put your

angeles. according to zillow, median home prices in l.a.n the top five most expensive markets in the country. nearly half the homes are selling over list. my next guest says the bidding wars are slowing a bit they are nour slowing to just 8 to 10. joins us is a real estate broker with keller williams stephanie, this is a major story of churn, isn't it you said you've soon the biggest exodus since the earthquake, and maybe we'll start with some of the listings to show us what we're talking about. how about the granada hills sold for $1.2 million how many offers did you get on this one >> we had 32 offers in the first nine days, and yes, it bid up several hundred thousand over list, which is just unprecedented. >> wow, studio city, we're getting into more of the high end of the market, stephanie tell us about the slowing. again, we're slowing from really high levels, but what is accounting for the cooldown? >> sure. i think what's happening is, you know, as soon as shelter in place hit, everything just went sideways the first month, of course

it's certainly the case in los angeles where my successor in l.a. charlie beck and mike moore both of whom i had the opportunity work with. >> host: when you tell the story about rule colin you committed the cardinal sin of asking a question. ugoda roll call and you say are there any questions and you raise your hand and you asked a question. tell us about that. >> guest: as you know as an outsider you learn it by being mayor and showing up for roll call and not to catch them but to listen to them and make yourself available. that's something he did. at that time i have become so disillusioned with policing and i was looking to move to a suburban police department where i was living at the time and he came into that roll call and he after hearing a few things about him i was desperate to get out at that precinct. as a dumping ground in never having any connections i was stuck there. it was a tough place to work. the bosses were awful and there was no money in those days. you were desperate for overtime and he came in and changed a few things that th

is the case new york to a lesser extent in boston and certainly is the case in los angeles where my successors and l.a. police chiefs in america and the opportunity to work. >> you brought me back inhe time of it when you tell a story about how the commissioner did local and you committed the cardinal sin of actually asking the question. >> can you imagine that? >> you go into roll call and say are there any questions? no hands go up. you raise your hand and asked a question. talk a little bit about that. >> you and i have become very experienced as outsiders coming into the department, how you begin to win the trust, by getting out and walking around and showing up at roll call and all hours of the night. to catch them, listen to them and make yourself available and that is something he did. he got up to every station but at that time i had become so disillusioned with policing, i was looking to our suburban police department where i was living at the time and he cayman to roll and hearing good things about him, i was desperate to get out of district which was the dumping ground without knowing anybo

l.a. when you moved to los angeles? >> when i moved, i didn't, no. know quite a few now, obviously.ine. >> jimmy: he's the greatest. >> he'd probably kill me for telling this story but, when we first met at a big silly hollywood party and i was very like, kind of intimidated because it's russell you know, he kind of has that air about him. but i -- you know, i was a huge fan. so i thought i would say good day to him and i was like, leaned over and i said, "hey, russell, i'm just a huge fan, you know i would just really love to meet you." and he goes, "what's your name?" and i said jai and he goes "courtney. and i go, "yeah," and he goes, "you want to smoke a joint?" [ laugter and i was like [ bleep ] yeah, man. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: really >> yeah. yeah >> jimmy: jai, first meeting russell crow, he's like -- >> day one well, he keeps it real, russell. and we got to work together, actually no long after that on a -- on a film called "the water diviner" that he directed, i know so, i'm sure he'll appreciate >> jimmy: i heard that -- you're also -- you're a very good cook, especially

l.a., the union, our local in los angeles, has supported their employers' vaccine mandate.ccine mandate. but we have to work on this locally and get everybody back. >> you mentioned the 90% figure which is bigger than the national average for vaccinations. let me ask you this. has there been any pushback internally if nine out of ten teachers are vaccinated did you get pushback on sunday from members of your union when you said that? >> yes, yes. look, i mean, our union is not monolithic. we have people who don't believe in vaccines in our union. i disagree with them. we also have people who are scared and skeptical. we have people who believe this disinformation about what happens in terms of pregnancy. we have people scared for their kids. what i blame is the disinformation campaign. vaccines have been a way of life in schools. you know, 50 states have them for kids throughout america. so we have to work on the disinformation campaign. we have to meet fear with facts. we also have to do as ed just said these mask mandates in florida and texas, i'm in indiana right now, in

[ laughter ] but no, i felt -- it was scary -- i would pull over if people were too aggressive behind me, just slide over, let them pass. but -- >> david: every time? >> you feel like you're going to die, you know? [ laughter ] >> david: i'm sure. i wouldn't do it. america when i do standup, i don't like it. >> you don't? >> david: it's too much going on. >> yeah, wait -- say that again? wha

gohmert: i represent the 34th congressional district, downtown l.a., the side of los angeles. call it a tale of two cities, two districts, one it is well off and one that is working-class and poor. they felt the pandemic very differently. one struggled. one succeeded and did extremely well. i want to learn lessons from this past pandemic because i don't want us to be in that same situation where the working-class are just decimated when it comes to jobs and staying in their homes, when it comes to a lot of different things that they suffered that other people didn't. you can say it is a microcosm of the united states. i am glad to see the president's budget is making substantial investments in the workers and families who power our economy, but i sent a letter recently to the president and to your office in support of automatic cash payments and enhanced unemployment insurance tied to economic conditions. that is because when these crises hit them a we need to make sure it responds quickly, the federal government, that there is no delays. i know you are looking at the unemploy
