Homeless in California

“America’s First Third World State”
Democrats in California. Democrats in LA are appalled that homelessness in their city is rising and so much of it, and they’re mad that the Democrat candidates for president are not talking about it. And I told the people of LA (and I’ll do it again today), “The Democrats are not gonna talk about your problems. They already own you! They don’t need to fix a damn thing in California.”
The division between haves and have-nots in California is maybe as stark and as large as it is anywhere in the country. New York might be a close second. But I don’t think so statewide. You’d have to say it’s true in New York about Manhattan and the boroughs of New York City. But statewide, you’ve got pretty obscene wealth along the coast — San Francisco down to Monterey — the central coastline all the way down to San Simeon and down to Santa Barbara, Montecito, then you hit LA, San Diego and down there.
It starts to disperse a little bit once you get to Los Angeles, and actually disperses quite a bit. The haves and have-nots in LA are… That’s a stark difference. But there are parts of all these places that are just idyllic, and they’re beautiful places to live, beautiful places to live and visit and so forth. But when you go inland and when you go into the San Joaquin Valley, the Central Valley — the agricultural community where the illegal immigration has made such a difference — it’s just an entirely different state.
They’ve got every one of your electorally votes. The Republicans don’t exist. The Democrat candidates for president don’t even have to go to California — other than to raise money in Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and that is it. They don’t need you. They don’t need to address your problem.
Where else are you gonna go? They know you’re not gonna vote Republican. Democrat candidates for president have got nothing to gain by going to California and pointing out what’s happening there. They’ve got nothing but anything to lose by doing that. If they go to California and start complaining, you can’t blame Republicans for it because the Republicans have nothing to do with what life is like in California now. That’s totally owned by the Democrats.
And so city government officials in LA, San Francisco, you can forget the Democrat presidential candidates talking about your problems, addressing your problems, visiting your state, ’cause they don’t have to. And it’s the age-old adage. It’s very simple. They cannot be hurt by ignoring California. They can only be harmed by calling attention to it.
So everything that’s happening in California now that people are complaining about can be traced directly to Democrats and Democrat policies. And the story that triggered me was the rising number of homeless people in Los Angeles, downtown Los Angeles, it’s so bad that the downtown LAPD headquarters has become rat and vermin infested. And the story talked about how the city is buying more of skid row to give to the homeless for them to live in.
At the same time, LA city council and other officials are saying they don’t understand this. Why is this happening? They couldn’t and can’t figure it out. And then the next story was that Democrats in California are frustrated that the Democrat presidential candidates are not talking about this.
Now, that kind of stunned me ’cause how dumb are these people? Why in the world would you think the Democrat presidential candidates are gonna focus on any problem in California and point to it and say we have to fix it? Because all they would be doing would be pointing fingers at themselves. There is no way.
The Democrats have to ignore California. They already own it!
