Pearl - Have You Ever Been Discriminated Against Because Of Your Gender？ (Call-In Show) ｜ Pearl Daily

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 this week has been a tough week for the city of los angeles first let me say i hope and i pray

00:00:37.880 that all the residents are safe none of us ever want anyone to lose their lives in a tragedy of

00:00:44.520 this magnitude magnitude but we have to call a spade a spade on this one los angeles response

00:00:53.740 to the fires has been a complete disaster it's an example of what happens when you put

00:00:59.120 DEI hires in leadership positions. The mayor of LA is a woman. The fire chief is also a woman.

00:01:08.140 And she prioritized DEI hiring of LBGTQ firefighters as her biggest priority.

00:01:16.760 Like I say on my channel all the time, men as a group are better than women at certain things. 0.98

00:01:24.100 They make 80% of the world's stuff, and when they're in leadership positions, they tend to do a better job statistically.

00:01:32.700 That's why they're in them.

00:01:34.580 And you cannot tell me that a man would not have done a better job as mayor or somebody qualified responding to this crisis.

00:01:44.940 I would surely believe that a man is better able to handle these type of situations in general.

00:01:55.740 But what do you think, guys? Am I wrong?

00:02:02.020 Now, the challenge we've had the last couple of years is we don't really, we're starting to blur

00:02:07.840 the lines between DEI hires and who is there because they're qualified. We're getting to the

00:02:14.300 point, it's tough for the average person to tell the difference. Now, for those of you that don't

00:02:18.780 know, a DEI hire is when they prioritize hiring somebody based on their gender or the color of

00:02:24.820 their skin, rather than how good of a job that they do. I call this the ultimate simping, saying 0.92

00:02:30.840 that we need special treatment because of our gender. And as most of you know, I have been on

00:02:35.200 the front lines of the simp epidemic for years. But I need to tell you guys about a quiet weapon

00:02:39.860 being ratcheted up against men that is rarely talked about. It's not just the relentless

00:02:43.880 anti-masculinity propaganda and only fans hoes causing the societal issues that we discuss on 1.00

00:02:48.680 this show did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace pharmaceuticals and

00:02:53.080 endocrine disruptors this often includes estrogen from birth control the average adult consumes a

00:02:59.320 credit card worth of plastic every week that's five grams of plastic a week on average so it's

00:03:04.040 no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what it was 50 years ago testosterone

00:04:05.160 code now i want to talk about the key players in this karen bass was elected the mayor of la in

00:04:12.840 2022 and her priority as mayor has been the homelessness situation diverting money from

00:04:19.640 city departments to go towards this issue before the fire she took an international trip to ghana

00:04:25.080 where her city went up in flames she also slashed fire department's budget by 17

00:04:30.440 million this past year i'm gonna bring up a clip that's going viral

00:04:45.560 of a reporter grilling the mayor over her handling of the wire wildfires what the heck oh here we go

00:04:52.760 one second we got an ad hold on guys

00:05:04.040 also if you want to support the channel we are demonetized please go to the audacity

00:05:11.700 network.com it's always very risky to cover a lot of these topics i never know what they're

00:05:16.900 going to deem as hate speech so if you can go to the audacity network.com okay we're going to watch

00:05:22.220 you know. As Los Angeles battles its worst wildfire in history. I'm definitely a critic of

00:05:31.840 the mayor. She was in West Africa while West Los Angeles was burning. The city's top elected 1.00

00:05:37.440 official, Mayor Karen Bass, is facing criticism on a number of fronts. Do you owe citizens an

00:05:43.800 apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department

00:05:49.400 budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor. A Sky News reporter, Madam Mayor, let me ask you just

00:05:54.440 to get grilling bass after she landed in Los Angeles Wednesday, returning from a diplomatic

00:05:59.700 trip to Ghana. Bass left on Saturday. The National Weather Service issued warnings last Thursday

00:06:05.960 and again on Sunday about extreme fire weather conditions. Monday, Bass posted on X, there is

00:06:13.120 an expected destructive and potentially life-threatening windstorm. By Tuesday,

00:06:19.020 according to the city, Bass was already flying home as the Palisades fire was quickly spreading.

00:06:25.020 Since being back on the ground, the mayor has been on defense over her absence.

00:06:30.160 I've been in constant contact with our fire commanders, with county,

00:06:33.780 state and federal officials. I took the fastest route back, which included being on a military

00:06:40.720 plane which facilitated our communications another complaint some residents say there wasn't enough

00:06:47.280 water where and when it was needed started with the wind everything and i started waiting on the

00:06:54.080 floor all the the floor the roof the pressure of the water is going away so i started filling

00:07:01.600 up buckets the trash cans with water there's not water in the fire hydrants i paid for it didn't i

00:07:07.680 did some hydrants run low the short answer is yes some more context according to the department of

00:07:16.360 water and power all 114 water storage facilities were filled but heavy use of fire hydrants

00:07:23.580 depleted the supply now i want to talk about how also the ladies are going to play victim 1.00

00:07:28.800 how many of these women that are complaining in this voted for democrat policies 1.00

00:07:34.260 They will vote for Democrat policies on abortion until their city literally burns to the ground. Literally. 0.70

00:07:45.720 The extreme conditions, compounded by high winds, keeping firefighting aircraft grounded.

00:07:52.520 We all know that this has been an unprecedented event.

00:07:56.340 We also know that fire hydrants are not constructed to deal with this type of massive devastation.

00:08:03.780 and that the number one problem, especially on Wednesday,

00:08:08.500 was the fact that we weren't able to do the air support because of the winds.

00:08:14.140 Bass now also having to defend the decision to reduce the fire department's 2024-2025 budget.

00:08:21.000 Last summer, she approved cutting more than $17 million from it.

00:08:25.820 Last month, L.A.'s fire chief raised concerns with the mayor and city council,

00:08:30.120 saying in a memo, these budgetary reductions have adversely affected the department's ability

00:08:35.860 to maintain core operations. Bass says the cuts did not impact fighting these fires.

00:08:43.460 There were no reductions that were made that would have impacted the situation

00:08:48.100 that we were dealing with over the last couple of days.

00:08:51.200 Do you see this guy in the background? He does not agree. He does not agree.

00:09:00.120 he does not this guy here he is like this is this woman is on some bs 0.72

00:09:06.140 and you could just tell you know even gavin newson who also does a terrible job

00:09:13.520 you can at least tell he would have pre-scripted answers right this woman 0.99

00:09:21.160 is clearly not qualified for the job

00:09:23.900 this is a disaster okay let me play this again

00:09:29.880 Is it the Wi-Fi?

00:09:34.940 I'm clicking it.

00:09:43.600 Refresh it to see if it works.

00:09:59.880 i know people are saying it's man-made look i don't know if it was or it wasn't i haven't

00:10:04.840 seen evidence that it was at this point it's possible but i'm not one that's gonna jump

00:10:13.400 to the conspiracy theories um i know there's this idea that like the rich do it on purpose

00:10:19.800 to make money or something okay let me

00:10:22.440 last summer she approved cutting more than 17 million dollars from it last month la's fire 0.83

00:10:32.500 chief raised concerns with the mayor and city council saying in a memo these budgetary

00:10:38.200 reductions have adversely affected the department's ability to maintain core operations

00:10:43.880 bass says the cuts did not impact fighting these fires there were no reductions that were made

00:10:51.160 that would have impacted the situation that we were dealing with over the last couple of days.

00:10:57.720 And Erin, the total budget for the Los Angeles Fire Department is a little more than $800 million.

00:11:04.280 Bass has said in the past that that budget included money for things like hiring new

00:11:10.120 firefighters. But again, her critics, and there are many of them on the ground there,

00:11:15.560 being very vocal, saying that her judgment is in question.

00:11:19.240 Now, I want to clarify my position on things. I am not against women being in positions that they 1.00

00:11:30.620 deserve. If we complete and are able to do a job at the same quality that the men are able to do a

00:11:38.020 job, I don't see anything wrong with them doing that job, if they can do it to the same quality.

00:11:50.140 The issue I have is when they start lowering the requirements to give us special preferential

00:11:58.140 treatment, and now people are losing their homes. That's where I have an issue. Or you put someone

00:12:04.640 in a position that shouldn't be there, people lose their lives. How far are we going to go

00:12:11.360 to make us feel better and feel like we're competing as a group? It's getting to the point,

00:12:18.320 it's ridiculous, where I don't know if I hire somebody, any female in any job, if they're there

00:12:26.540 because they deserve it and they're good or because there's some practice that allowed them 0.94

00:12:31.780 to be there, some special privilege. That's where we're at. Let me do the budget article.

00:12:50.480 Los Angeles mayor slashed fire budget last year and prioritized the homeless population.

00:12:57.280 los angeles budget is in the spotlight as multiple wildfires rage around the city

00:13:03.440 amid revelations that mayor karen bass slashed the fire department's budget last year while

00:13:09.960 prioritizing spending on the city's homeless for the 2023 to 2024 fiscal year la budgeted 837

00:13:18.420 million for the la fire department which was roughly 65 percent of the homeless budget of 1.3

00:13:24.720 billion an analysis by la city's controller last year found that roughly half of the budget

00:13:31.200 for homelessness went unspent from 2023 to 2024 the 2024 to 2025 to the 2024 to 2025 budgets the

00:13:41.680 LAFD budget was reduced by over $17 million from $837,000 to $819 million. Bass had proposed a

00:13:58.260 larger budget to cut the LAFD to about $23 million, but it was not adopted. Fox Business has reached

00:14:05.060 out to Bass's office for comment and the reasoning behind the cuts. The budget for homelessness was

00:14:10.700 also reduced in 2024 to 2025 but remained larger than the lafd budget la is currently the center

00:14:19.500 of four ongoing wildfires the eaten the woodley the hearst fires and the palisades which has

00:14:28.620 have consumed countless homes and businesses and claimed two lives the fire the fires have prompted

00:14:35.260 evacuation orders for more than 30,000 people and come as California faces an insurance crisis after

00:14:41.600 several insurers fled the state, largely due to the costs associated with the wildfire losses.

00:14:47.960 Out of 20, the most destructive California wildfires, seven have taken place in the last

00:14:53.740 five years, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported. In terms of economic costs,

00:14:59.040 the 2018 fire camp caused $10 billion in damages. The Tubbs fire in 2017 cost $8.7 billion in

00:15:07.240 damages. And the Woolsey fire in 2018 cost $4.2 billion. Let's watch the video associated with

00:15:17.860 As with reaction is former L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva. Alex, thank you for being

00:15:28.600 here. This is, by all accounts, a devastating wildfire, uncontained, two deaths so far.

00:15:35.140 You can see the damage in those live shots. Governor Newsom declaring a state of emergency,

00:15:41.380 yet some are criticizing the local authorities and the response teams.

00:15:45.960 Do you think that criticism is fair?

00:15:49.840 Well, you've got to recognize that there was a bond measure in 2014, Proposition 1, that allocated $7.5 billion for the infrastructure to capture water in reservoirs.

00:16:02.760 They had that available so our hydrants would be basically full of water and then times of need.

00:16:08.400 And only a fraction of that money has been spent.

00:16:10.880 It's all been tied up in bureaucratic nightmare.

00:16:13.500 Then you have the workforce itself.

00:16:14.980 You have fire, L.A. County, L.A. City fire. Their numbers are depleted. LAPD, L.A. Sheriffs, their numbers are depleted.

00:16:22.080 Where is the National Guard here? I mean, there's a lot of things, a lot of manpower that is missing.

00:16:27.080 And it all goes from 2024, the whole defunding movement, this impact.

00:16:31.540 Can we talk about that? Because we were reading in the post this morning that the L.A. Fire Department had seen budget cuts by about 17 million dollars.

00:16:40.560 How much of this is or is not preventable based on some of those budget cuts?

00:16:47.060 Oh, this is very, very preventable.

00:16:49.660 As you call the fire department, both city and county fire, part of the whole first responder infrastructure,

00:16:56.540 that has been one of the targets of politicians from 2024 to take money away from and deplete those resources,

00:17:03.700 supposedly under this grand scheme of we're going to reinvest it in the community.

00:17:07.340 Well, the community right now needs exactly what they don't have, which is the staffing levels for fire and for first responders, for law enforcement to be able to safely evacuate and to be able to fight these fires.

00:17:20.380 I mean, a lot of it is going to be obviously the nature is going to is having its way with us right now.

00:17:25.240 But at some point when humans can successfully contain the fire and secure the area and all that stuff and care for the evacuated, it's a humanitarian crisis that's going to unfold right now as we're seeing it.

00:17:39.180 And we don't have the resources we should have, and those were political decisions that happened years ago.

00:17:44.900 Talk to me about the water issue, because I found this very disturbing.

00:17:48.860 You've had folks on the ground fighting the fires.

00:17:51.900 They're plugged into the fire hydrants, but they're saying there's no pressure to push water

00:17:56.700 because the tanks up on the hills, which is how you create the pressure, have not been filled adequately.

00:18:02.720 You're telling me that that was supposed to have been addressed in 2014, and that's still an issue right now?

00:18:09.220 Does that sit on Karen Bass's shoulders?

00:18:11.860 Whose shoulders does that sit on?

00:18:13.100 It sits on the current mayor, the previous mayor, Eric Garcetti, the Board of Supervisors, past and present, from 2014 on Proposition 1.

00:18:23.540 That's a lot of money. I think they spent $177 million out of $7.5 billion.

00:18:29.180 All of the construction projects were designed to upgrade and create new systems that capture water from the rainfall.

00:18:36.560 I mean, two years of record rainfall, and we were not able to capture it.

00:18:40.700 Yes, because it wasn't built.

00:18:43.560 So it all washed into the ocean, but it did fuel the growth of the underbrush, which is now under fire.

00:18:49.880 Was the National Guard mobilized too late?

00:18:54.060 Oh, way too late.

00:18:55.180 And this is something both the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, LAPD, had to know that because both agencies are missing roughly 1,500 sworn officers each, that's over 3,000.

00:19:07.780 And so any major event like this is going to generate a lot of demand for personnel over prolonged periods of time.

00:19:14.980 That's an automatic call to the National Guard.

00:19:17.340 Hey, we need a lot of additional troops to do some basic activities because now they're taking resources away from areas where they're still needed.

00:19:25.440 Like you're pulling deputies from a contract city and who's going to answer 9-1-1 and go out when everyone's out at the fire?

00:19:33.300 So this is why personnel, the staffing is critical at this time.

00:19:37.780 Alex, we so appreciate your time today and your insight, which we were talking about.

00:19:42.660 So thousands of people have lost their homes.

00:19:46.500 This is devastating to the state of California.

00:19:51.060 And we're hearing that the fire could have been contained, that it didn't have to be this bad.

00:19:58.360 But this is gross incompetence.

00:20:00.320 And this is, again, this is what happens when we're prioritizing put woman in role because she's a woman,

00:20:06.780 not because she does a good job.

00:20:16.220 Now, the L.A.

00:20:21.500 Oh, wait, there's one more.

00:20:23.340 The budget cuts, hold on.

00:20:24.820 One more.

00:20:28.800 The L.A. chief, the L.A. fire chief warned last month

00:20:34.420 that budget cuts would affect response to large scale emergencies. The LA fire chief warned in

00:20:41.680 the weeks before the devastating Palisades fire that the decision to cut the department by nearly

00:20:48.680 18 million would diminish its ability to prepare and respond to large scale emergencies. The budget

00:20:55.540 reduction approved last year by Mayor Karen Bass was mostly absorbed by leaving many administration

00:21:02.980 jobs at the fire department unfilled but that left about seven million to be cut from its

00:21:09.220 overtime budget which was earmarked for training fire prevention and other key functions the

00:21:15.920 reduction has severely limited the department's capacity to prepare train for and respond to

00:21:21.400 large-scale emergencies including wildfires chief kristin crowley wrote in a memo in december 4th

00:21:28.400 2024. The variable overtime hours called V hours within the LA Fire Department were used to pay

00:21:35.300 for FAA mandated pilot training and helicopter coordination staffing for wildfire suppression,

00:21:44.100 the memo said. Mayor Bass said Wednesday evening that the budget cuts did not have an impact on

00:21:50.140 the LA Fire Department's response to the wildfires. I am confident that it did not,

00:21:56.060 bass answered in a response to the fire chief's memo and suggested fire spending would exceed the

00:22:02.260 amounts budgeted for the fiscal year bass also dismissed the criticism that she was on an

00:22:08.160 overseas trip while the fires started during the intense winds that had been forecast several days

00:22:14.660 in advance although i was not physically here i was in contact with many of the individuals that

00:22:19.780 are standing here throughout the entire time bass said i was on the phone on the plane almost every

00:22:24.860 hour of the flight she said the fire chief's memo was presented last month to the board of fire

00:22:29.820 commissioners a panel of mayoral appointees who oversee the management of the department

00:22:35.500 without this funding pilot compliance and readiness are jeopardized and aerial firefighting

00:22:40.300 capabilities are diminished it said changes to air operations section impact the department's

00:22:45.980 ability to adhere to current automatic and mutual agreements provide air ambulance services and

00:22:52.460 quickly respond to woodland fires during woodland fires with water dropping helicopters the memo

00:22:59.740 also highlighted other programs that would suffer with the cuts including the disaster response

00:23:04.540 section which funds the bulldozer teams and cuts breaks and control lines around wild wildfires

00:23:11.980 and the critical incident planning and training section with which develops plans for major

00:23:17.420 emergencies fire officials downplayed the potential impact the cuts would have on a mayor

00:23:23.180 major emergency and referred questions to chief crowley who was unavailable due to another fire

00:23:29.900 igniting in hollywood's hills late wednesday any fire department even our side is stretched thin

00:23:35.660 which is why we call in our mutual aid partners said la fire department spokesman jacob raib

00:23:42.140 the pat the the fire started tuesday and fanned by powerful winds destroyed hundreds of buildings

00:23:51.240 and burned about 15 800 acres it was one of five wildfires burning in southern california

00:23:58.420 the los angeles fire the los angeles fire chief kristin crowley started her position in 2022

00:24:08.260 she's the first openly lbtgq woman to hold this office right away a big deal was made about this 1.00

00:24:16.660 and she made it her priority to hire a more diverse fire department she was hired after 1.00

00:24:23.860 the previous fire chief had to step step down due to allegations that he didn't address sexist and

00:24:29.680 racist behavior within the fire department talk about an overcorrection when talking about kristin's

00:24:35.780 nomination, former LA mayor Eric Garcetti said at the time that he nominated Crowley

00:24:43.540 to the position, not due to her gender, but due to her abilities and skill with public safety

00:24:48.800 challenges. So again, the ladies, you know, when you see women being burned alive in New York, 0.99

00:25:00.100 what is happening is we are eating what we voted for because most women would rather have abortion

00:25:09.480 than have a proper fire department

00:25:14.680 criminals being taken off the street and at some point the men are gonna say you know what

00:25:23.420 you ladies are on your own because you keep voting for these policies 1.00

00:25:28.340 you keep taking money out of our out of our taxes for these policies that you guys voted for

00:25:36.920 and you know again they said that the previous chief was sexist so you know what he said he said

00:25:46.700 okay i'll step down let's see how the ladies handle it go ahead and honestly guys to some 1.00

00:25:56.020 degree, I don't blame them at all. If we're going to keep voting for Democrats, if we're going to

00:26:03.940 keep voting for these leftist policies, okay, see what happens, see how it works. The only way,

00:26:12.020 and this is why simps are such a problem when they bail people out, they bail the ladies out 1.00

00:26:18.680 of our bad decisions, because the only way we will learn is if we actually have to feel the

00:26:25.240 consequences you know do you think next election california is going to vote republican

00:26:34.920 now we're going to watch the nom new nominee for the fire department

00:26:44.280 employees they complain of harassment they complain of bullying but if anyone can change

00:26:50.280 the culture let it be kristen crowley now what an amazing opportunity but i do feel ready

00:26:56.760 tuesday morning the winds of change blew through la like a santa anna again this is play pretend

00:27:05.960 you know again i don't have a problem with women doing jobs they're qualified for 1.00

00:27:12.680 but to give a little background i played volleyball overseas i'm an athlete i'm six foot i'm taller

00:27:20.920 than most men um in terms of strength i can deadlift close to 300 pounds that's more than

00:27:28.280 a lot of guys i've played basketball with men i i'm an athlete and even though i am probably

00:27:36.800 one percent of strength for women for women okay i'm not i'm not saying i'm but in terms

00:27:44.500 of most women are overweight most women aren't athletes my brother who doesn't lift can beat 0.99

00:27:53.740 me up so easily it would it would be like it it would be the easiest thing for him ever

00:28:01.500 I question how a woman in this position with, she looks a little bit overweight to me. 1.00

00:28:10.700 How as a fire woman was she able to do equally as good of a job when it's a very physical job? 0.94

00:28:19.060 The same way I'm going to think this when I see female construction workers and when I see female police officers. 1.00

00:28:30.480 when i was in england i think i saw more female police officers than men

00:28:34.240 if i'm if i'm looking at a woman and i'm thinking i think i'm in better shape than her

00:28:40.620 how the heck and by the way i cannot beat an average guy even a guy that doesn't really work

00:28:46.780 out is going to beat me up it's not going to be hard if he wanted to don't do that you know what

00:28:53.540 i mean like don't but if he wanted to how the heck are these women going to do a better job 1.00

00:29:00.300 as a firewoman. And the other question I have, you know, if we're going to promote somebody to

00:29:09.980 chief, you know, I worked in sales for like two, three years. And you expect the managers to be

00:29:16.980 good salespeople so they can teach the salespeople coming up how to sell. What is she going to teach

00:29:24.900 a guy about fighting fires when I just cannot imagine that she has the strength that men do.

00:29:40.000 Event. Respected L.A. City Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas announced his retirement after 39 years

00:29:46.700 on the job. At a news conference, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced a history-making nominee,

00:29:51.940 The first female to ever leave the L.A. Fire Department.

00:29:56.000 Today I am nominating Kristen Crowley.

00:29:58.600 A 22-year veteran of the L.A. City Fire Department.

00:30:02.300 Crowley distinguished herself within the department with tough assignments,

00:30:06.340 including paramedic, firefighter, captain, and chief deputy.

00:30:10.860 We met right after the announcement.

00:30:15.200 Am I crazy? She looks chubby to me. 0.99

00:30:17.540 i just don't see athletic here i really don't nice to meet you crowley told me this was a day

00:30:26.460 she had not imagined but somehow it felt right was never really shooting for that i just took

00:30:33.040 it day by day trying to understand my job now again what i if i believed that she was there

00:30:39.520 off of merit i would have no problem i just coming from the perspective of an athlete

00:30:46.380 and that is a physically demanding job I cannot imagine

00:30:52.900 I don't think she could lift me out of a fire like if I was passed out on the ground do you

00:30:59.400 think you guys really think she could throw me over her shoulder

00:31:03.060 and she's taking the spot of a guy who can now people will argue well managing isn't the same

00:31:12.480 as doing a job and you know what that's true some people are very good at a job and they make

00:31:17.260 terrible managers but you have to at least be decent Chloe and I just cannot imagine her 1.00

00:31:26.140 physical strength is anywhere close to even an out of shape man I you know they said maybe she 0.85

00:31:34.520 can't you know I'm open to being proven wrong maybe the rest of this video I'll be proven wrong I

00:31:39.220 know but it's getting ridiculous and it's all so we can feel better about ourselves so we can you

00:31:49.940 know clap woman's empowerment ah you destroyed the patriarchly you did the things that men have been

00:31:55.540 doing i have no problem if people want to do that i mean but can she lift what a man can lift can 0.97

00:32:04.820 she throw me over her shoulder? I doubt it. I do not believe it. And how to better lead and manage

00:32:09.940 our people. And whatever fell in front of me, those opportunities, it was due to hard work,

00:32:15.300 but it was a lot of support and mentoring along the way. If confirmed as the first woman, 0.99

00:32:24.180 she will have a task ahead of her, taking the reins of a department trying to operate

00:32:28.980 while covet 19 continues to be a health emergency focusing on the why why we're here as an

00:32:35.780 organization why we're here as firefighters why our firefighters come to work each and every day

00:32:40.980 knowing what they don't know i always hear women say that in management positions i never really 1.00

00:32:49.140 hear men talk about their why that that seems to be a woman thing not all not all not all but the

00:32:57.060 women you know men focus on doing the job and the best way to do it the women are focusing on why 1.00

00:33:09.220 it's kind of like have you guys ever gotten into an argument with a woman

00:33:13.460 and she keeps asking why would you do that why why what you know i'm nagging on every single behavior

00:33:20.420 who cares about the why i want to know what are you going to do to do the job well i mean with

00:33:29.700 covid in you can't lift fire pearl i know you can't lift fire but if i'm passed out in a fire

00:33:36.160 or i need there's times where they have to carry somebody out that's reasonable you know i could

00:33:45.460 have passed out from the fire they could have found me how am i getting out she's not taking

00:33:49.420 me out the variance and everything that's happening crowley is married she and her wife holland who 0.93

00:33:54.940 is retired from the la city fire department have three young daughters she reflected today on what

00:34:00.860 it means to be a role model and i'm static to be in the position to show both young girls and boys

00:34:07.980 that hey this is this is important that we have people in positions of authority that work hard

00:34:13.340 and you're rewarded for it i must say she was very engaging when we think about the numbers here in

00:34:21.820 the la city fire department 3 727 employees 3 174 of them are fully vaccinated that's an 85

00:34:33.740 rate at six o'clock i'll have more with ms crowley and what this could mean to the city of la la

00:34:40.300 laura geus reporting live from downtown los angeles alex and marla back to you 0.54

00:34:47.740 that is ridiculous

00:34:51.660 why would i have been signed out 0.94

00:35:08.060 okay

00:35:10.300 what's the next one oh here we go the next one is megan kelly

00:35:20.480 this is megan kelly's response as if all of this is not enough it turns out that in recent years

00:35:31.960 la's fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority but diversity

00:35:39.400 Diversity is at least among the top priorities for the department.

00:35:45.460 Her name is Kristen Crowley.

00:35:47.400 She's been fire chief since 2022.

00:35:50.180 And in an interview shortly after she was elevated to this position, she talked about being super inspired to make the fire department more diverse.

00:36:01.720 One more.

00:36:03.020 okay here during the firefight has been a lack of water at hydrants on the palisades fire

00:36:14.980 tonight that's getting the attention of community leaders all across california they're all coming

00:36:20.420 to the realization that residential hydrant systems just may not be enough to snuff a fire

00:36:26.360 out when it comes to battling these massive wildfires nbc bearers tom jensen is in oakland

00:36:31.980 tonight where station closures are already top of mind and now there's this water supply issue

00:36:40.460 everybody in oakland has been talking about the closure of this fire station fire station 25

00:36:45.580 and another one in the oakland hills but tonight they're also talking about these

00:36:49.820 fire hydrants especially in light of what's happening in southern california

00:36:56.540 firefighters battling the palisades fire worked to lay out enough hose to reach a distant fire

00:37:01.260 hydrant because the nearest one has little or no pressure a serious problem

00:37:06.500 that persists on the raging wildfire one that crews including this one from San

00:37:10.740 Francisco keep running into hydrants that aren't working properly and have

00:37:15.420 extremely low or sporadic pressure you know your incoming pressure is it's not

00:37:19.920 between 10 and 50 but it's real okay zero we can only do one inch and a half

00:37:26.460 residents whose homes are still standing are finding their own household water

00:37:30.120 systems down too as they try to help. We went inside the house and there is no water inside

00:37:35.480 the house. This woman dipped a bucket from a hot tub to try to douse flames running up a hill 1.00

00:37:39.740 towards a home. Then water tenders showed up because the hydrants weren't working. We have

00:37:44.720 another water tender here that means we have more water. Thank you, thank you. L.A. County leaders

00:37:50.380 say the hydrant systems were made to fight house fires, not large wildfires. A firefight with

00:37:56.340 multiple fire hydrants, drawing water from the system for several hours is unsustainable.

00:38:00.900 The head of Oakland's firefighter union is working to save two temporarily closed firehouses in the

00:38:06.240 hills and has now been tracking the hydrant problems in Southern California. Those are our

00:38:11.540 life link in order to get water to the pump to be able to put out fire. So yeah, I'm definitely

00:38:16.840 very concerned. Union president Seth Olyar says Oakland firefighters personally work to maintain

00:38:21.900 hydrants and report broken ones to east bay mud which is responsible for all of the hydrants

00:38:27.820 across the east bay the la situation really highlights uh how fragile some of the infrastructure

00:38:35.180 is uh here and also how dependent we are as firefighters on um the water supply system we

00:38:43.980 reached out to east bay mud to talk about the status of all the fire hydrants across the east

00:38:48.860 bay but a spokesperson said nobody was available to talk tonight in oakland tom jensen nbc bay

00:39:01.340 let's look at some other dei hi sorry guys i'm a little sick today let's look at some other dei

00:39:10.540 hire women failing in positions of power toronto police superintendent stacy clark was demoted

00:39:17.740 two ranks for a cheating scandal in august of 2024 she was caught giving black constables test

00:39:26.860 answers and other information before promotional opportunities to increase the chances of them

00:39:32.300 moving up the ladder clark pled guilty to seven counts of misconduct and was demoted to the rank

00:39:38.300 staff sergeant in 24 months she will be able to reapply for the rank of superintendent why

00:39:44.780 Why? Because she's a woman. I mean, I want you guys to think about this. If a man was giving

00:39:51.500 special treatment to other men, to white men, let's say, let's say a man decided that he wanted

00:39:57.620 to give help to white men on their test answers so they could get promoted. How would that go? 0.63

00:40:05.260 Do you think he would be able to reapply in 24 months, two years?

00:40:14.780 In emotional and raw testimony, a Toronto Police superintendent facing discipline apologized for helping constables cheat on a promotional exam.

00:40:26.880 But as John Woodward reports, the hearing also delved into how unfair the hiring process was to black candidates to begin with, and how a plan to fix it was cancelled without warning.

00:40:37.560 The first part of Superintendent Stacey Clark's testimony was an apology for giving six constables questions in advance of a promotional exam.

00:40:45.680 She told the hearing, it was tremendously important for me to take responsibility for what I had done.

00:40:50.680 I know it was not the right path.

00:40:52.340 But the tribunal spent much more time on what Clark called the why, and it came down to a systemic failure to promote black officers.

00:40:58.800 They often benefited white men within the service.

00:41:02.740 There was...

00:41:06.600 again why do women get to give a why only when men do something wrong they just say they did 0.95

00:41:16.460 something wrong they don't give a reason or an explanation they're not given the benefit of the

00:41:21.060 doubt but women can literally help participants cheat on a test and be given a slap on the wrist 1.00

00:41:32.680 RISK BECAUSE OF DEI.

00:41:35.940 NEPOTISM, THERE WAS FAVORITISM,

00:41:38.780 AND ALL TYPES OF OTHER ISSUES.

00:41:41.720 IT'S COMMON PRACTICE THAT SENIOR

00:41:44.000 OFFICERS HAVE SUPPORTING OFFICERS

00:41:46.340 WHOM THEY MENTOR AND THEREFORE

00:41:48.200 SHARE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WITH.

00:41:50.000 THE PROPOSED SOLUTION THAT CLARK

00:41:51.360 SUPPORTED AND WAS ADOPTED BY

00:41:52.920 TORONTO'S POLICE SERVICE BOARD IN

00:41:54.380 2021, A NEW PROCEDURE THAT INVOLVED

00:41:56.880 PROVIDING THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE

00:41:58.660 TO EVERYONE.

00:41:59.800 IT WAS BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM

00:42:02.000 500 Toronto police officers.

00:42:05.900 The Toronto Police Service Board oversees the police,

00:42:08.640 but the tribunal heard even though the board approved the plan,

00:42:12.200 the police service didn't put it into practice.

00:42:14.820 In a report, Professor Wendell Agitay wrote,

00:42:17.000 Before its implementation, the TPS made an executive decision

00:42:20.360 without warning to suspend the new process

00:42:22.360 and revert to the original unfair practice

00:42:24.860 that the members identified in the external review.

00:42:27.800 It stands to reason that had the TPS implemented

00:42:30.220 the new promotional process,

00:42:31.600 superintendent clark would not have felt the desperate need to flatten the playing field

00:42:35.760 by providing black officers with the interview questions it's not clear why the policy was never

00:42:40.560 adopted somebody along the way decided that they weren't going to implement all of it supporters

00:42:46.880 who arrived on a bus stood by clark i think instead of demoting her they should give her award clark 0.99

00:42:54.000 became why are people so stupid that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard fire her 1.00

00:43:05.040 emotional as she described demeaning posts from retired officers and one threat and how it 1.00

00:43:09.920 affected her children but she said she remained loyal to the okay this is the other thing about

00:43:14.400 women we have a tendency to cry about being threatened online but we also want high profile 0.97

00:43:22.160 position. You do not look, and I get this on Twitter a lot. Whenever I debate with another

00:43:28.040 woman on Twitter, if I debate with a man, he never complains to me about harassment after.

00:43:34.520 We all know that if you go on a debate with somebody that disagrees with you,

00:43:40.100 their followers are going to troll you. Your followers are going to troll them.

00:43:44.120 Neither of us ask for this. This is just how it is. But the ladies have a tendency 1.00

00:43:49.680 to want to guilt me into taking videos down or not responding to them while having a high-profile

00:43:59.000 account or a public persona totally fine you're totally you're welcome here but we don't get

00:44:04.880 high-profile positions without criticism you don't get to be on the internet make this amazing

00:44:10.140 internet money without consequences there's like 20 hit pieces of me on the internet i don't cry

00:44:16.440 about it. I just accept that's part of being here. I like conservative media. I like it. I've

00:44:24.620 always loved it. I'm very thankful you guys allow me to be here. You will not catch me

00:44:32.320 complaining, crying. And that's the same thing she's doing here. She's complaining about getting 0.98

00:44:39.020 a high profile position and dealing with criticism and people online making threats

00:44:45.480 Do you think Trump cries at night because he's threatened?

00:44:48.840 That man dodged a bullet and stood right up.

00:44:51.680 You don't get both.

00:44:52.720 You get one or the other.

00:44:53.700 Life is about choices and trade-offs.

00:45:04.240 Systemic change saying, I love my job.

00:45:06.520 I love what I do.

00:45:07.680 Some may say foolishly, but I still believe we can do what we say we are going to do.

00:45:11.760 The decision whether she'll have the rank to be in a position to help will be up to the tribunal.

00:45:16.460 John Woodward, CTV News.

00:45:19.800 Okay.

00:45:24.440 Now, in November of 2024, a New Zealand warship, captioned by a British woman, sank because it was left on autopilot.

00:45:34.980 the 48 million dollar ship smashed into a coral reef in the south pacific

00:45:41.980 and was the first ship from new zealand to sink since world war ii yvonne gray the ship's captain

00:45:49.540 was championed as the first lgbtq woman from new zealand to captain a ship the new zealand

00:45:56.760 government has repeatedly denied that the captain's gender played a role in the sinking of the ship so

00:46:03.460 what frustrates me again what they will say is that no it's not dei they deserve to be there well

00:46:14.180 how do we know

00:46:17.940 there's too much backlash for not going to the dei way to expect that

00:46:25.220 you know what about the lesbian women that are there because they deserve it 1.00

00:46:29.380 now you you question things because of all the people they force into roles that are not meant

00:46:38.480 to be there it's defense minister for comments he melbourne truckie has copped a spray from new

00:46:45.920 zealand's defense minister for comments he made on social media the minister held a press conference

00:46:51.580 this afternoon and called out the online hate and misogyny leveled at the captain of a navy ship

00:46:57.420 which ran aground in Samoa.

00:47:00.680 With her Navy vessel stuck on a reef in Samoa,

00:47:04.880 Commander Yvonne Graham made the call to abandon...

00:47:15.740 You know, there are just some positions I am not comfortable.

00:47:23.400 Not all, not all, not all.

00:47:24.840 if I see a woman that is good that if we're gonna I would prefer 1.00

00:47:29.800 a guy I would prefer it because I think that's a very high stress job and high stakes but

00:47:38.360 if you're gonna have a woman there I expect her to be there because she deserves it 1.00

00:47:44.480 and I want to see a badass take no shit looking woman 1.00

00:47:49.460 but you know i see women that just look like dei hires she just doesn't look like a badass to me 1.00

00:48:01.940 i mean i ship soon after the boat caught fire and sunk the life or death decision has been

00:48:11.780 widely commended but has also led to a torrent of misogyny and homophobia online i'm appalled

00:48:18.820 to see the comments online from these armchair admirals people who will never have to make

00:48:25.220 a decisions which mean life or death for their subordinates this is judith collins new zealand's

00:48:31.060 first female defense minister today women do not understand violence like men do you know

00:48:41.300 men know from a young age you could put in the chat what age did you realize

00:48:46.980 that if you said some bs you would get beaten up that if you messed with the wrong use if

00:48:53.140 you pissed off the wrong guy he was going to bash your face in men know this we do not 0.80

00:49:02.820 we are not the same because generally speaking although gen z is a lot more equal rights 0.99

00:49:08.340 equal left the equal left equal lefts than the boomers i'll tell you that um but

00:49:19.940 we i have a hard time with women in military positions again if they deserve to be there 1.00

00:49:27.140 sure but what i'm seeing is women oftentimes that don't and they just do not understand violence 1.00

00:49:36.180 the way that men do again i have an interesting point of view because i played sports and i would

00:49:41.380 play basketball i played basketball with men but i always knew that i cannot charge to the basket

00:49:49.460 like i do with women because i would get my rocked i would no can't do it 0.66

00:49:55.940 it's like i'm not breaking my getting my nose broke over this i'm not doing it

00:50:01.620 and i'm pretty strong for a woman

00:50:06.820 but in general we just we don't understand violence so i have a hard time

00:50:17.380 rectifying with women in charge of men that do and have from a young age the one thing that we 0.93

00:50:26.020 already know did not cause it is the gender oh you guys said five really that young i figured

00:50:33.300 it'd be like 12. i have nine five six eight and i'm going to read the chat on the website in a

00:50:40.020 second wow i totally thought it'd be like 10 to 12 of the ship's captain and she went further

00:50:47.300 tracking one down i took it upon myself to look up the details of one of the keyboard warriors

00:50:54.660 or the armchair admirals as we now refer to them in my team he's from melbourne in australia

00:51:02.740 commenting in a very negative way on our rule and see this is what we have a tendency to do

00:51:10.100 police speech if you ever make it's the same reason i'm demonetized right now

00:51:17.860 because if i notice any of these things they demonetize me they censor me they ban me i've

00:51:23.540 been i've had eight tick tock accounts banned you know and again that's why i hate to rag on you i

00:51:30.660 hate to bring this up all the time but that's why i keep pointing you guys to the website because

00:51:35.940 you know we need 3 500 people on there or one yearly membership a show in order to keep the

00:51:42.340 lights on because you know i don't know if she's going to dox the guy now but this is what when

00:51:49.700 women their rep when our reputation is on the line you know historically in order to survive 1.00

00:51:56.260 our reputation was really important so when our reputation is on the line that's when women go to 1.00

00:52:01.620 extreme lengths with family court false accusations and policing speech it's in order to save our

00:52:09.620 reputation that's why um a lot of the false rape accusations the woman was just cheating on her 1.00

00:52:16.660 on her boyfriend got found out what are her options this woman we're starting it's starting 1.00

00:52:22.260 to be revealed that we're not really equipped and a lot of us are being given jobs we don't deserve

00:52:28.020 and when that starts to get revealed

00:52:32.100 the ladies they get mad now they have to police the speech it's the same reason 1.00

00:52:36.340 why you know candace got mad last show because i revealed that hey most of us ladies are here 1.00

00:52:42.660 because we're giving an enormous advantage on social media this isn't the most difficult

00:52:47.460 job in the world and neither of us would be here if we weren't women with men's opinions with 0.68

00:52:54.600 more right-leaning conservative opinions it just wouldn't happen we're not that special amazing

00:53:00.360 and awesome and I say this for me too right that's when they start to police speech that's when they

00:53:06.980 start to lie that's when the lawsuits start to come out etc etc New Zealand Navy and particularly

00:53:14.040 the woman i looked to see what else i could find about him well he is someone who drives something

00:53:21.080 he drives a truck and i think that he should keep his comments to people who drive trucks

00:53:27.080 rather than to people who drive ships finishing off the salvo by saying she won't stop calling

00:53:32.840 out these kinds of comments efforts to clean up the shipwreck are ongoing and yeah and a ship

00:53:40.840 just sank like think think about how serious that is people's lives are on the line and she is

00:53:47.400 worried about the reputation of the of the captain she's worried about the comments section because

00:53:54.360 again it's being revealed hey there's some flaw in the system again i have no problem if you show

00:54:02.120 me a woman that can do the exact job that a man can do if she can do a better job than a man does 1.00

00:54:10.200 it i have no problem with her getting the position i really don't the problem i have is when we're

00:54:18.440 being given special handouts and everyone has to pretend they're not what they are and by the way

00:54:25.480 guys we are going to do a call-in show at the end of this where you can call in and say if you've

00:54:30.520 ever been discriminated against because of your gender your race um and i want to know what

00:54:37.800 happened and how it affected the department but that's in a little bit court of inquiry

00:54:43.080 has been called to discuss the real cause of the crash to lula thompson for 10 news first

00:54:59.800 so the again these are all women in powerful positions that failed to meet the expectations 1.00

00:55:06.520 put upon them so i'm gonna grab the zoom link and we're gonna do a call-in show and i want to know

00:55:18.920 from you guys have you ever been discriminated against based on your gender and i would be

00:55:26.680 really curious to know how it affected the department

00:55:33.320 let me go

00:55:38.360 also make sure you fix the

00:55:42.840 i'm gonna put it in the chat guys i'm also gonna take a second to read the chat on the website

00:55:50.220 again guys one of the greatest parts about being a audacity network website is not only that you

00:55:57.020 get access to all my old content that youtube made me delete um three years worth of work

00:56:02.240 10 000 videos they made me delete it it was really really devastating but again i'm very

00:56:07.840 lucky to be here in general so it is what it is those are their rules and um

00:56:17.120 normally on channels you have to donate for every comment that you make so

00:56:24.160 if you want the host to read your comment you have to donate every time you all you have to do is do

00:56:28.960 a 10 a month sign up or 80 bucks a year i read your comment all you have to do in the chat is

00:56:34.240 put pearl read if you put pearl or pearl read put two dots put your comment and i read it

00:56:41.280 i usually take breaks one or two times a show and i read them um hey pearl missed the last show and

00:56:47.280 i wanted to ask when you were doing panels in the uk there were women there was a woman that 1.00

00:56:51.200 wore a mask and claimed to be a virgin do you think women like her are a safer bet bet are there other 1.00

00:56:56.320 red flags when the cameras were off so i can't speak to her specifically but i will talk in

00:57:02.720 general about the more pure virgin women the challenge they have is they get so much attention 1.00

00:57:12.960 so the line to date those women is super long and they are still going for the top guy it's the same

00:57:21.840 reason you see conservative female commentators you know let's say balance of probabilities 1.00

00:57:27.200 conservative female commentators body count is lower or more pure whatever i'm not saying that's 1.00

00:57:32.880 true or untrue but let's just say that you never see them settle down for anything you know i

00:57:38.400 googled the average net worth of all these ladies husbands it's around 5 million the problem is 1.00

00:57:44.960 though again these women have more buying power they're still gonna go for the top guy and if 1.00

00:57:50.720 they don't get it they're going to wait as long as possible in order to keep going for that they're

00:57:56.720 going to essentially do the same thing they just have a little bit more buying powder power sometimes

00:58:03.440 if their character matches um the other challenge is you know the same challenge every guy is going

00:58:11.040 to have with dating really any woman on the planet is that they get so many offers from people

00:58:18.320 everywhere so if a woman is going on a show she is going to get offers from athletes she's going 1.00

00:58:26.080 to get offers from entertainers high level men if she's good looking enough she doesn't even 1.00

00:58:31.520 have to be famous you know i went to like a backstage like one time they invited my team

00:58:39.040 to go to was like a weekend concert right and we it was actually really fun we all went to the

00:58:44.400 like backstage area and for me i was invited because of the show and like they my producers

00:58:51.040 went it was a lot of fun but the thing that happens is there are women that 1.00

00:58:56.480 are just they don't even have big social media following

00:58:59.280 for being hot don't have big followings they just know the right people in the right circles

00:59:17.360 you know that's why i say the eight to tens will have a life that is very different than the six

00:59:24.460 to sevens they really like eight to ten level women they can literally live off of their beauty 1.00

00:59:31.660 either through sugar baby stuff or if they don't want to do that some of them can just be hot 0.51

00:59:37.340 and exist so um that's i hope that answers my question curveball says when did society

00:59:47.500 forget to build stone walls and or water barriers to protect and maintain homes

00:59:53.380 Pearl, Freddie Ramirez prophesied a month ago that January will be a black month for America.

00:59:59.760 According to what Jesus revealed to him, you can find the announcement on his YouTube channel.

01:00:04.740 Look, I've seen a lot of people with prophecy.

01:00:09.920 There has been too many people that have used the Bible for prophecies that have not come true.

01:00:18.920 that i'm a little i'm a bit skeptical when they get one i'm like okay

01:00:25.940 anyways maybe he's different i don't know that guy someone said is this live yes um

01:00:33.700 diversity johnny says diversity demands the level of competence for candidates is overlooked in

01:00:41.500 favor of some other characteristic it's always prep to it will always prevent having only the

01:00:47.480 best for the job um the next one is johnny the idea that a current generation should have to

01:00:56.300 atone for things suffered by previous generations is ridiculous in the true sense of the word

01:01:00.660 it should be ridiculed and rejected 0.84

01:01:02.880 the next one glenn says i'm discriminated all the time because of my gender

01:01:10.720 roger i'm a white male should i say more the zoom should be on the audacity chat it's from

01:01:20.240 santiago the admin he put it in the chat so too johnny says the woodstock generation accomplished

01:01:27.180 nothing for society they helped in destroying everything they were lucky enough to be born into

01:01:32.200 drugged up draft dodging mud wallflowers yeah you know i want you guys to know that the older women 1.00

01:01:39.520 did the exact same thing you you have to think what is the incentive of the older women are they 1.00

01:01:46.720 gonna say hey their whole phases did end earlier i'm gonna i'm gonna give them that it started

01:01:54.320 earlier and ended earlier but you know i found writings from the 1800s complaining about the

01:02:03.200 exact same thing so the difference now is social media we just like to tell on ourselves i don't

01:02:12.400 know what is it what what is it what is it about us doing that like it's like not only we we get

01:02:19.040 everything in this society there's nothing we don't get but we also brag about it like the

01:02:25.520 ladies will brag about having a hoe phase like they got away with it they have a man they have 1.00

01:02:29.760 a husband but they couldn't just keep it offline they couldn't just not put it on the internet so 0.58

01:02:35.520 he doesn't have to see it and be made fun of you know um so anyways the older ladies 1.00

01:02:44.560 because the interesting one thing was when i interviewed a thousand people even the mormon

01:02:48.960 girl that was on the other day what did her mom tell her go to school don't miss out the women a 1.00

01:02:55.520 lot of them that did the more traditional thing will tell their daughters that they're missing

01:03:01.280 out and to put off marriage and i heard this from like very traditional countries like nigeria

01:03:09.360 women would tell me that from so um italy asia so you know we've always been this way this is

01:03:20.080 we've always been this way the difference is we have way more power now like think about

01:03:25.520 the level of power we have. We have the power to do OnlyFans and even

01:03:30.040 hardcore corn with gangbang scenes and Riley Reid is married.

01:03:36.700 And you know, everyone, the conservatives get so mad at me by saying marriage is dead.

01:03:40.960 It doesn't exist anymore. They're like, ah, you're so mean. Riley Reid and Adam 22 got married.

01:03:48.160 it doesn't mean anything in 2024 it's a show for social media more often than it is a genuine

01:03:57.900 two people for life sadly that's what i say my analysis on relationships now is their rentals

01:04:05.860 not lifelong model like before you'd buy a car now you rent them it's the same thing with

01:04:11.060 relationships instead of buying it's rentals short-term rentals maybe long-term rentals it

01:04:18.300 depends it's like imagine relationships today is Facebook marketplace you might get a long-term

01:04:26.540 rental or it might be a short-term and you can't really know I know a woman in London I mean

01:04:35.740 she had she was all tatted up and she's been with the same guy for 15 years she's really loyal to

01:04:41.260 him and then there was a girl who looked like a girl next door cute normal looking she was cheating 1.00

01:04:51.660 on her boyfriend all the time you know it's like i'm not saying obviously one it's like some it's

01:04:59.020 the same thing on facebook you know some cars it's like high risk you think oh that car looks good

01:05:04.220 but that's a very that's a high risk car and low risk there's like you know sales like sellers that

01:05:14.380 it's it seems like more of a sure things but they're sure thing but there's just no guarantees

01:05:19.660 you know pearl do you want me to get deej in here she's had so many stories after 18 years in the

01:05:26.940 the heavy industry it's the audio down they're saying I can't hear the audio

01:05:41.900 we need our okay can you guys hear it yeah try to refresh it

01:05:51.560 you're telling me is anyone on the zoom link yet or no if you if you could fix the thing too

01:05:58.320 it's a fair ask I mean some people like it before it even starts

01:06:19.720 hit hit the like button i want to know if you've ever been discriminated because of your gender

01:06:27.060 and how it affected your industry now i have been asking this to the white men i know

01:06:36.580 because that's that's what i've been hearing that they get discriminated against

01:06:40.800 now my brothers told me no i asked them they said no one of my cousins told me no

01:06:47.600 a different cousin said he lost out on hundreds of thousands of dollars because he was in

01:06:55.260 production and he said there are grants that go out specifically to minorities and he didn't get

01:07:04.920 them because of that but you know he's doing good he's a parent now but life does not slow down when

01:07:12.900 you're a parent between late night feedings work stress and just trying to find a moment for

01:07:17.380 yourself. Sleep is the first thing to go. But here's the thing. Poor sleep doesn't just leave

01:07:22.400 you tired. It affects everything, your mood, your focus, and even your health. That's why I started

01:07:26.700 taking pre-sleep, a melatonin pre-sleep supplement made to help parents like you unwind,

01:07:38.120 quiet your mind, and get the deep restorative sleep that you need. With ingredients like

01:07:43.600 magnesium althean and glycine pre-sleep works naturally to help you wake up recharged and ready

01:08:44.560 story what industry are you in like i'm gonna ask you opening questions about you like where you're

01:08:50.240 from etc but then after that we're gonna get to the story how it affected the industry get to the

01:08:59.280 point is what i'm saying okay okay so our first caller oh we have gabe back again hello gabe how

01:09:07.120 are you hi pearl how are you doing today i'm good uh where are you at again so i previously said

01:09:19.440 that i'm originally from the bay area i currently live in southern california in l.a county where

01:09:27.760 these fires are happening okay and have you seen them like what's been has it been close to you

01:09:36.080 how has it affected you so i'm in long beach like way on the other side of the county where

01:09:43.360 these fires are happening there's been smoke off and on it's been difficult to walk around

01:09:50.080 and breathe outside uh still trying to tough it out carrying on daily errands and all that good

01:09:58.000 stuff um it's been difficult but you know i mean what can you do i mean trust me i don't even get

01:10:07.920 me started as we say out here on tally about how frustrating this whole situation is so have you

01:10:16.000 ever been discriminated against for your race gender sex the short answer i would say is yes

01:10:26.480 the more complicated answer i think is i don't know honestly um i can think of many times i've heard

01:10:37.920 many modern women that i've been raised around saying horrible um discriminatory 1.00

01:10:49.520 discriminatory stuff about men that gets on my nerves on a regular basis.

01:10:59.020 So what industry are you in?

01:11:02.700 So I'm still a college student right now.

01:11:06.560 I've worked in retail and oddly enough.

01:11:11.800 At the thrift store that I have worked at.

01:11:15.060 want to say going on about three years i actually never heard women um that i worked with say 0.94

01:11:25.060 anything horrible about men it's always been on on the college campus that i go to school at that

01:11:32.580 i've heard women say like horrible things about men how so i'm more i'm more i more want to know

01:11:41.780 what industry were you in were you overlooked for a promotion were you like systematically

01:11:50.580 how did it hold you back maybe scholarship like what was it

01:11:57.860 i can't say that i've never directly been affected in that way but i can say that definitely i mean

01:12:05.860 looking at the bigger picture of like hearing the fire chief recently in the news saying

01:12:14.660 um a man shouldn't be in a place where anybody has to carry him out of a burning building

01:12:21.620 i've heard like women say that things like that before so i'm not sure if that answers your 1.00

01:12:28.900 question okay well thank you very much for calling in gabe thank you thank you have a good day you too

01:12:38.340 okay we're gonna move to the next caller so

01:12:42.100 i don't mean i i should have prefaced this i don't mean comments i want to know at work

01:12:49.380 um i don't know school where did you see the discrimination person were you over did you

01:12:57.300 see someone else get promoted that didn't deserve it um that's what i'm trying to get to okay we

01:13:04.020 have rj are you good to be on camera yes okay welcome to the show where are you calling out of

01:13:12.660 uh montenegro it's in uh southern europe okay cool so what do you think of the topic have you

01:13:19.060 ever seen discrimination because of your gender so this is a i think the simple answer is most

01:13:28.980 likely i think a lot of the discrimination that comes to men is more of these subtle things a

01:13:35.060 good example of this is i was applying for jobs for a long time basically from 2015 up to about

01:13:44.580 2017, I was having a really hard time finding work. And one of the things that really bugged

01:13:50.720 me is every single time I look at a job application, or not the job application,

01:13:55.540 the job posting, at the very bottom, it would say we're an equal opportunity employer,

01:14:01.880 where we are eager to hire women, people of different races, religions, all these other

01:14:07.920 things which i did not qualify for and through this whole experience that trying to find a job

01:14:15.840 and and applying for jobs constantly constantly getting rejected my wife uh several years later

01:14:22.400 this is um 2019 um she had no work experience and she decided that she's going to go and get a job

01:14:31.680 and she wanted to work at target what's the industry what's the industry you were looking at

01:14:37.920 um i was i just i was looking for anything i mean i was really i did i had experience in

01:14:44.880 video production okay and so i was looking for a lot in video production but really i i mean i

01:14:51.720 even applied to target myself and i was and i couldn't get a job at target but my wife she 1.00

01:14:58.340 applied to target only up only job she applied to got the job right away and then a bit later

01:15:05.100 she decided she wanted to try a different job applied to one job again no previous work experience

01:15:11.260 and got that exact job that she applied for two application reviews two jobs and i was the one 0.87

01:15:17.220 who wrote her cover letter and resume so that took away some of the um the the the chances that maybe

01:15:25.880 she just did a better job writing the resume because i wrote it all for her so those were

01:15:30.340 some basically just trying to go and get a job is a big area where i think a lot of men

01:15:34.180 are facing this passive, per se, I don't think it's passive, it's just more of an invisible,

01:15:40.460 might be aware of a better way of putting it, discrimination.

01:15:43.640 Yeah, so it's not necessarily that somebody told you that you were not hired because of your gender,

01:15:49.680 but you can kind of put two and two together when someone with way less experience is getting a job

01:15:55.420 and you didn't even get an interview.

01:15:56.740 yes and and something else i think is also more this silent discrimination is just the way that

01:16:06.100 men are basically neutered in the workforce and so again if i'm coming into i i did have i later went

01:16:14.500 into property management into into real estate and one of the things that i started to experience

01:16:20.100 there and there's probably about 50 50 men and women but i was in a team that was predominantly

01:16:26.100 men and it was really refreshing because i would walk into a guy's office and i'd say

01:16:33.460 i need this thing done or hey you messed up on this thing and it would just be a quick oh oops

01:16:39.380 my bad i'll get it fixed i'll take care of it no problem we'll get it done and it was very efficient

01:16:44.340 whereas when i would have to go and interact with the women i would have to go into the office say 1.00

01:16:50.420 you know oh hey good morning how are you doing today how's your daughter did you have a good

01:16:53.700 weekend great by the way i was going through this whole thing not a big deal but i noticed that this

01:16:58.340 you know document wasn't filed properly it's their chance to get that corrected no worries just

01:17:03.780 whenever you get a chance i really appreciate it and just going through that constantly was um

01:17:11.140 is a big way i think that men in the workforce just get neutered and and have to kind of learn to

01:17:18.580 to not be as effective and not be as efficient as they otherwise would be.

01:17:25.560 Yeah, because you can't just get to the point.

01:17:27.680 Otherwise, I'm assuming if you didn't do that, there would be problems.

01:17:32.780 I got called out many, many times.

01:17:35.640 When I first got into the industry and first started working in that particular job,

01:17:39.740 at the very beginning, I was told several times that I was being too confrontational

01:17:46.580 and i was being too um i forget all the other kind of words but some similar words that i had to

01:17:53.940 really learn to to just put a very very soft edge on onto those things um and it i found it really

01:18:03.800 frustrating it's really i mean i got good at it but it was very frustrating to have to do that

01:18:09.200 yeah i noticed um i used to sell plumbing parts to like plumbers like you would go and

01:18:15.560 sell it was like pipe fitters like that sort of thing and i noticed when i was there like

01:18:20.660 men can just yell at each other and they're like totally cool five minutes later where

01:18:25.860 women will hold it against you forever it's i mean yeah i mean men can men are able to

01:18:35.300 actually be emotional in front of each other and i think that uh there's and it's very there's a

01:18:42.020 understanding i mean both both negative emotions and you know we'll say like basically a broad

01:18:48.500 scope of emotions including just outright anger and you know men can just handle it and you just

01:18:55.780 when you're in kind of any um you know mixed environment where there's men and women combined

01:19:01.060 it just it's just it's like walking on eggshells the entire time well thank you for calling in rj

01:19:10.740 yeah my pleasure thank you

01:19:17.700 let me get the next but let's see if anyone's got

01:19:24.740 some of these poser okay where's the

01:19:27.220 still no audio even the tech version is stalling that's weird um we'll look at it

01:19:35.620 they said i've even restarted my iphone well i mean oh they said it's back okay

01:19:45.100 is it back now has anyone else called or no yeah you can go to the next one

01:19:55.460 Dane says let me mansplain something to you there's a significant different in pipe fitting

01:20:03.120 and plumbing please don't ever make that mistake again no okay it was the things that held the

01:20:11.100 pipes obviously I didn't sell many but but it was um actually I was in charge of getting the

01:20:18.260 meetings and my boss would do it but anyways um we got doug mpa on the line moderator of

01:20:25.540 i don't know years now hello doug hey can you hear me i can hear you perfectly yeah so the

01:20:32.980 the sound was out on the audacity network site and not on youtube it's been it's been okay on

01:20:38.740 youtube the whole time but i don't know if it's back on the audacity network but anyway i'll

01:20:43.380 email the you screen guy go ahead but uh yeah so you know i work for a large law enforcement

01:20:50.020 agency during during my day job and there's definitely a push for more women in law 1.00

01:20:56.260 enforcement every sit and where they get you is all the leadership programs and conferences are

01:21:03.060 for women now all the development stuff is for women oh so they get all this free help

01:21:08.580 yeah all the help all the development is for women and i also and it's just like in um in

01:21:18.820 colleges all of the scholarship money is for women guys if you listen to this and you're 1.00

01:21:25.140 and you're gonna go to college in a undergrad you can apply for those scholarships because i had a

01:21:31.860 friend who went all the way to college from undergrad to master's degree to phd and he he

01:21:38.260 applied for women's scholarships because what happens is there's never enough women applying for 1.00

01:21:45.220 for the scholarships and at the end they have to get rid of the money

01:21:48.660 so they will give it to men if there's no one else to give it to

01:21:53.540 so guys apply for female only scholarships and odds are you're going to get it because

01:21:58.820 they never have enough women applying for those scholarships so but anyway uh on the topic i've

01:22:05.620 never i've never been passed over for a promotion for a woman but maybe it's because you know i

01:22:14.900 because i'm black and i'm also in in the in the protected class i have seen workplaces i've been

01:22:21.780 a part of where they push everyone but white men i've seen that i've seen it how did you see how

01:22:27.940 did you know that was the reasoning because i think what they would say is you know you guys

01:22:32.500 are just making that up and well you know what when you see all all the okay the

01:22:42.340 there are white men at the bottom and they're white men at the top but like the the middle

01:22:46.820 management where you transition from the bottom to the top is all all women and people of color 0.99

01:22:53.540 why do you think that is why middle management like how did the guys get to the top if they don't

01:22:58.500 pass through middle management is it because they're boomers and that was before a lot of it 0.72

01:23:02.820 yeah it's it's either they're boomers or they're so qualified that they can't be denied because

01:23:09.940 everyone of every race religion and gender can be so qualified that you can't be denied it just

01:23:15.620 so happens that a lot of the white guys that were there were so qualified that you you couldn't say

01:23:22.260 no to him yeah do you know what's interesting so um i was telling my dad about you know the h1b

01:23:30.660 visa stuff yeah yeah and i was telling my dad's about the response and um

01:23:38.180 he just does not see discrimination like at all he doesn't see it and he reacted sort of similar

01:23:44.900 to not not the same as elon but like similar like he doesn't know what they're talking about if you

01:23:49.940 work hard it's fine and i think the reason is the top like my dad is top like one percent and probably

01:23:59.380 an intelligence and work ethic so so zelon musk that they're like the top guys just don't see it

01:24:05.620 because they're so useful that it's like they can't be overlooked yeah that's what talking

01:24:13.220 about the the the guys at the top i guess these are all the guys at the top especially the white

01:24:18.740 men were so useful to the group that right when they got there you're like okay this is this is

01:24:25.540 the right fit but all the transitional all the middle management of the people that could

01:24:30.900 potentially move to the top were either women or women or people of color and the other thing i 0.93

01:24:36.020 thought about was that he doesn't my dad's never worked for anyone else and he's never been like

01:24:42.580 one experience i've heard from guys is they've been in a position where their boss they have to

01:24:49.300 do the work for their boss where like the boss will ask them to make decisions that like the

01:24:55.540 boss that isn't qualified and if you've never been like work like it's men that don't rely on

01:25:01.220 the system that don't understand it like they don't rely like they started their own thing um

01:25:06.900 they didn't go to like a big university or or maybe it was before but i i was watching elon musk

01:25:14.500 like freak out sort of and i was like why is he reacting like that and i'm like he probably just

01:25:19.460 doesn't know well you know the the big thing with vivek ramaswari and elon musk and this h1 thing is

01:25:28.100 that um the right now it's you know immigrants as a whole are being scrutinized right now

01:25:39.860 and elon and vivek are saying oh yeah you know h1s are the good ones that want to come over

01:25:44.900 but there's been such such a fervor on on on immigration if the average person on the right

01:25:51.060 doesn't want to make the distinction right now so that's where the conflict is i think

01:25:56.340 you know what i'm saying um i don't think that elon and they really thought that through

01:26:02.180 when they came came over over to the right what was gonna happen because now they're saying oh

01:26:06.900 h1s are fine and the party's saying yeah with our constituents no they're not 1.00

01:26:14.820 so but yeah i i just think the goal the the goal is to be so important and so useful

01:26:21.620 but you cannot be denied especially to all you white guys out there let me tell you i've seen

01:26:28.940 active discrimination against white men in workplaces because if they're supposed to be 0.59

01:26:33.360 the root of all evil nowadays i don't think so but um what did you see like what was it was it

01:26:38.840 a promotion that someone like a white guy you knew was qualified for and didn't get like what

01:26:44.540 was the specific story i i i i would just always see certain positions at a certain level would go

01:26:53.340 to certain groups because because it makes them look good so like a lot of workplaces have stats

01:27:00.840 on their leadership or middle management positions and the more you can say oh yeah we have a wobble

01:27:06.420 we have this many women leaders and this many it looks good for for the organization

01:27:13.460 and how does it make you feel um being a minority that people could because i don't know about you

01:27:21.760 but for me it's like i would i want the best person to get the job to get it but now you get

01:27:28.320 the problem when smart people like you get the job because you're smart and you're good at your

01:27:33.420 job it people may look at you as if you got it because of your skin color because of the dei stuff

01:27:39.280 um that hasn't really been an issue for me yet but you know i would just take that as it came

01:27:45.960 along you know i try to i'd like to think that every single position i've had i've been so useful

01:27:50.580 that that wasn't really an issue um but i would think that somewhere along the way i mean i'm not

01:27:58.980 one for passive aggressiveness and i try to be direct at work so i'm gonna see if you have a

01:28:04.400 problem say it to my face and no one's said it to my face yet so i'm perfectly fine but i'm pretty

01:28:08.740 sure i've come across people that have had that attitude i just don't know it or i just didn't

01:28:13.140 notice yeah okay well thank you so much doug always good talking a pleasure as usual bye bye
