But you'll be warming up in a ball pen just in case I've got to leave the door open in the back Ok push in a minute. But 1st there's a lot of news in the world of politics and who better to talk to about of than the national political contributor for McClatchy newspapers you can follow on Twitter at 8 Elche age Malcolm Andrew Malcolm Good morning hello Andrew. Guys how you Dylan good guy and I ask Andrew something to turn off topic you know Ok Go right ahead I was telling John I really enjoyed Andrew when you wrote for the l.a. Times because when you were writing for the l.a. Times you were a different kind of voice you were the liberal voice you were necessarily a terribly conservative voice you were kind of a moderate right voice in a paper that didn't have a lot of those and I thought what you were doing was very important so that you hear different voices and different points of view what happened there. Well. Investors Business Daily made me an offer I couldn't. And then they killed their print edition. And now I'm writing for McClatchy it's the same the same voice the same attitude and the same what is it now 53 years experience if fascinating this every. Presidential election is fascinating I find but this one particularly so and gee they're getting along you know. 1960 John Kennedy announced his campaign on January 3rd 10 once before the election. Now now we're. Almost 2 years and still got 64 weeks to go. Hard to believe isn't it and we're also looking at the polls this early out and there's a brand new c.n.n. Poll that has Joe Biden way ahead at 29 percent Bernie Sanders is 2nd at 15 percent Elizabeth Warren 3rd at 14 percent but get this Camila Harris has fallen all the way down to 5 percent she's down what was that steep 12 points from the last one I think she was running at 70 percent after that debate. Yeah it's surprising I thought she would be doing much much better 1st we need to remember as John just said we are way way out 64 weeks and as history suggests and Joe Biden should know this by jowl history suggests that people ahead now. Don't get the nomination you remember 'd President Gingrich president Gephardt and President Dean. They don't they don't do that well the ones that are ahead now. But you know when you look at it who is it was is a Biden. Biting Bernie and Warren. Is we're right where we were in January. And Biden wasn't even a nominee a candidate back then says I look at these numbers if you put together the kind of left left vote which would be Bernie and Elizabeth they matched by his number if you had the 2 of them together if one of them dropped out. Theoretically they were taught by yes the Democratic National Committee as is would be delighted if some of them dropped out I think there's 8 or 9 that are qualified for the mid September debates. I think we'll see some others drop out some of those people couldn't get out of the ones and twos and better or Rourke 'd isn't doing a great John Hickenlooper who is an interesting guy. He dropped out last week. And the d.n.c. Is pushing for some others maybe Steve Bullock. And and no Roarke if they can get a me says overwork says no but they want them to drop out and run for the Senate. You know that song we have 23 seat difference there for party control in the Senate and if a Democrat won the presidential election and that would give Democrats. Both Houses Plus the White House so there's a lot of pressure Hickenlooper says he's thinking about running in the in the for Colorado Senate seat and he could make that a real race he's an interesting guy you know he started the craft brew house yes and then downtown Denver then he's a mayor for a couple of terms then he's the governor for a couple of terms and he's much too moderate and reasonable for the current Democrat field but remember this is the primaries right so you're talking to all the people way on the far end of the spectrum. And and and he he wasn't you know it's a number I enjoy very much better Roark who gets a lot of coverage all the time and keep setting its campaign and he pulls one percent. And that said turns out that's a problem with with caramel issues she's been resetting her campaign desperately trying to trying to do something. I mean to show up in these in these polls she's changed a lot of positions and that doesn't sit too well and what the people over on the left you know as she's she takes one position then the next day she and the morning show she says well you know I that was exactly what I meant to say and. They're looking for authenticity and in primaries. And and funny to me that the Elizabeth Warren is Rise I don't know if you guys. Saw her video when she announced . You can the beer with her husband that just happens to walk into the room. She really are to and she says severed of a follower and then she should hang on a minute I'm going to get me a beer. Just the regular plain when I want to live with more on the Senate smoke the peace pipe when I was there you. Know laugh at heart and not laugh at hard John's jokes. When I see her he looks like an anxious 2nd grade teacher and the supplies haven't come in yet. She said to me she's everybody's angry Ev. And. You know she's. She's she's just like a lot of them she's changed the way she she campaigns and she's getting better and I and the poll numbers seem to reflect that again the caviar is way far out polls 'd are just a snapshot but learning is the same Bernie and I guess you could argue that's authentic. But he seems to be yelling all the time and that gets old. But it would Bill Maher to think you can see the egg salad sandwich. When you see when you see Bernie's like he just walked out of the deli. Yeah I knew we were where he was than a lunch will serve. Well Andrew I talked about this yesterday it seems like the Democrats learn every wrong lesson from everything that's ever happened to them. 2016 Bernie Sanders did well unexpectedly well against Hillary Clinton and he thought and other people thought well democratic socialism is on the rise and that's why Bernie's popular No As it turns out everyone just hated Hillary. Going to 2018 Beto O'Rourke did unexpectedly well in his race for the Senate in Texas and people thought well maybe he's the new Jack Kennedy maybe this guy's the the next winner for the Democrats on the national scale now as it turns out everyone just hates dead groups. It's also who who are running against and the candidates and I'm talking Republicans now if they can make the election about their opponent then they usually went member Lyndon Johnson $1064.00. He was taking us into a huge war 550000 troops over a he made the election about very Goldwater because he was very cold water very There was one commercial that ran once child with a flower and the nuclear bomb going off in or not well you let you make the elect right exactly Steve you make the election about the other person which is what Trump will do I'm sure he's trying instead of letting them fight their own fight and and wound each other now you have the he's jumping in I think but when the when the general election comes and remember. Democrats have their convention 1st in July in Milwaukee Good luck with the humidity and and. Republicans do it. In a much more moderate place Charlotte North Carolina in August but that gives Trump 5 Live weeks to plan the offensive to adjust the convention he says he won't change on the. Mike Pence on the ticket. I think he would probably think about it especially since I'm pretty sure the Democrats have to have a woman on the ticket somewhere here with Nikki Haley would be the one but if you hire you if you're vising that you know he was you tell him to take that or not. Yeah probably she's she's unusual you think about the trunk cabinet people she's worked out a way to stay Nikki Haley and still work with Trump or when she was ambassador at the United Nations Cheney. I kind of gently disagreed with that with Trump sometimes she was a wonderful spokesman against the Russians. And in the in the Security Council and she really held her own she insisted that this seat the u.n. Ambassador be a cabinet position which it isn't always and now she's out on her own she can make some money on Madge and she's going to be doing another book she did disagree with the president on some of his online antics the other day but that's that's who she is and Trump seems able unlike with others to take it so we'll see I I don't know I mean that would alienate a lot of conservatives if if Trump dumped pence but you know is is a real mean nice guy have minimum talk with him he is a nice guy but he's kind of an l.a. Is not all that exciting and if the Democrats have an exciting ticket. Trump might want to spice it up here but then let me give you a quick little maybe I'm right analysis on this thing passes very important for Trump in the beginning Trump would like the Godless the high from New York City so you hear this godly guy this real conservative with a bonafide you need he give him cover with the event Jellicoe visitor he doesn't need him for that now no you're right you're right and it's it's what Obama did when he was the young quote kid coming in from coming in from Chicago and he picked Joe Biden who was the familiar staunch liberal. Is not so liberal now the party's moved so far over but a pick Joe Biden as a sort of a confidence builder and gave him a bunch of very prominent public jobs and guess what Trump has given. Pence. A number of very prominent public space Council and and a number of other things so. There's a pattern here even though if Donald Trump claims that he wasn't really a politician we're talking to Andrew Malcolm who's the national political contributor for McClatchy newspapers you can get him on Twitter at age Malcolm do this think there should be a new system where the whole campaign is 6 months long rather than years long about 6 weeks most of the countries I know were lost but a lot of the countries in the world. That are democracy issues like ours they managed to pick a new national leaders party leaders and national leaders in 40 days I can of this got one I think coming up this fall so. Why not I mean it it's great for the t.v. Stations where they get all billions of dollars in advertising and excess weight and who are not in California because the races are run in California. That's right exactly who's going to if you if you're a fear a Republican actually a Democrat to who's going to you know no no you just so you want to John you like the idea like race locked up. Shortly just there is no way you can do that because the 1st way to demonstrate that you're a viable candidate is raising money and you have to start that early and the bigger the war chest the more credible you look and you know we do horse racing too much it's the horse race the blue horse race now it's how much money did the candidate write raise last week that's suddenly becomes a huge as you know it is it is until the fall it's the votes start. And. The record of fund raising is is spotted here with this crowd Ok All right Andrew Malcolm thanks so much for joining us thank you always a pleasure You bet guys good to be with you and say 21 let's take a look at the road John coming up they sponsored by the Southern California b.m.w.

Besides 70 k. . 70. Think 27 on Talk Radio 790 k. A.b.c. John Phillips and Steve Edwards in for Jillian Dr Drew joins us in just a couple of minutes John I was reading kind of in the press and survey I guess you would call it basically saying that kids today under more stress than they've ever been suicide rates are up for kids all kinds of issues about stress involving obesity and health all those indicators are up. And the conjecture about this was. Kids are living different lives even than when you were a kid and certainly when I was a kid in 2 ways 3 ways actually but one of the ways is if you live in a neighborhood where there's not a lot of wealth you're fearful all the time so you don't go out and play freely if you live in a neighborhood that has wealth your over schedule you go from here to there to there to there and everything is a lesson or planned league or whatever else and the 3rd part of it is that you're on your cell phone all the time and you're not dealing face to face with other kids and that this is creating real problems especially the lack of free form activities and play were kids make the rules and do the play and social media is dominant which is where a lot of the bullying now takes place which right out of the purview of the school district so they can't really do much about I think that's a bully you have kids who are so obsessed with games now for tonight and everything else that their lives do not require going out side and playing with other kids now take everything that you just told me and answer this question for me I'll try what does this mean for the opioid crisis in the future doesn't help means it's going to get worse doesn't help does it and I'm reflecting on when I was a kid we had kids back then when I was a kid. You know I was in some organized stuff but basically you you left every day you went out and you played you played hard every day and you didn't have parental authorities around you made your own rules but it was a different time you had to band together she could run away from the dinosaurs that was.

A.b.c. John Phillips and Steve Edwards in for Jillian Well earlier this morning we talked to a woman who contract and typhus and l.a. City hall however her. Losses at the city attorney's office say no you didn't was not industrial You got that home they don't want to pay her workman's comp claim and now she's suing them and it's turned into a whole mess but because they're denying that she contract it at city hall that means they're not taking measures to read city hall of typhus and rodents and the homeless encampments and all that business which means other people are still at risk joining us to talk about this is a man who has pretty much pulled out all of his hair over the subject over the last couple years our colleague here at 790 k. A.b.c. Dr Drew Pinsky Drew morning Don who pretty much pretty much. Worse just might my outrage just expand into different areas every day. How is it that they can deny that this woman aides are saying she doesn't even have typhus they think she's got meningitis do something else oh she did there's no there's categorically no doubt she had type of that's an easy pot where she got it I understand they might want to defend that but why don't they defend themselves against the a.c.l.u. Attacks that prevent us from actually helping the homeless Why did they choose this poor woman who contracted typhus and is trying to send the raise the alarm so other people don't get typhus in that rat infested environment by the way they did immediately start the flame the place I'm trying to deal with the rats thing they didn't do anything with the homeless because those suits they don't fight what is that and it's the homeless encampments that produce the rats correct it is all the garbage and the lack of ability to keep up with the sanitation it's also the deaf occasion and the urine and blood and the needles that gets out into our ocean because it when it rains it completely bypasses our sewage treatment plants and one of the things that I've really recently been talking about is. What if the city of Arcadia suddenly stopped disconnected from the sewage treatment you don't think we'd hear from environmentalists in about 12 minutes where are the a turtle with a straw on its nose makes people apoplectic and then this silence it's unbelievable truth to tell it tell us the kind of the Sociology behind all of this what you just said. What are people thinking that the North is. They it's it's cognitive dissonance it's called they have this very rigid belief system then view of the world and these phenomena are challenging the veracity of those positions it is not simply the case that you can leave people to their liberties on the street and they will thrive some people need it because stowed eal care every country on Earth provides this and every state provide some version of this except California Oregon and Washington it is not a 3rd world problem it is an unwillingness to take care of sick people and that is can only be found in some sort of ideological distortion that households that people a never get sick don't have brains brains don't get sick and everyone is free at all times even when their brains get sick now if they were talking about a demented person oh my God we must help these people but when other brain disorders cause the very same symptomatology get away let's pretend for one second that we had a mayor and we had a city attorney that want to do something about this city hall to protect the health of their employees and to protect the health of those who have business in city hall and they brought you in as a consultant to give them advice what would you tell them I would say it's probably impossible if you don't clean up the streets and clean up the. Yes you have to get people off the street and living in sanitary environments where we have that's why the basic needs of civilization include sanitation people couldn't congregate in these environments we call cities so we solve the problem of sanitation but we have an ideological group in power that believes that we don't need sanitation we don't need anything and so we 1st have to clean up the streets and to do that whenever they start talking about how complicated it is immediately call them out it is not complicated it is simple and by the way the l.a. Times ran an article I think it was over the weekend about what you do what happens when you put people in housing and they don't get adequate mental health treatment it's a catastrophe it's a catastrophe these are not static conditions they are progressive many of them progress to death I argue in the strongest terms that by not treating them you are committing homicide you are actively contributing to people death you are also committing people whose illnesses could be managed early if they were brought in and custodial care to could thrive again but if you allow these illnesses to unravel over long periods of time they become irretrievable So the simple solutions are a expand gravely disabled the expand access and availability of conservatorships and give conservatorship more teeth. You need to create more psychiatric beds the city of Pomona has been doing this and they have a psych hospital right there into Mona more about a hospital they've had half their homeless population they've gotten off the street I actually spoke to the White House yesterday and I told them about the success of the moment I said they have 7000 homeless they have 3000 off the street and they literally immediately went to me and went Why is that a success why is only 30 percent off the street a success because it's so vastly superior to everything else we are doing where only a trickle a few people at a time per year are finding their way off not not a percentage even and we cuz we are failing so miserably and finally we have to and enforce our vagrancy laws then clean it up then you're going to have to use pesticides you're knocking you you can try to control the rat thing with non pesticide alternatives I tried in my own home we were overrun for 6 months and it became really a health issue on our home so we had to use pesticides or fruit Drew ever want to run for office I I don't want to but I feel like I may have to because this it just feel like I'm going to it is mobilize my physicians sensibilities so profoundly I feel like I have to do something and I don't know what else to do I may have to run for mayor. I think the government the state government is the problem so it has to be something of the state level because I think the mayor Mayor is a no because I think that the mayor is at the whim of the city Charles Taylor can a board of supervisors and the poor police are only a force in the laws they have available to the laws must change they wanted to be detached from ideology and remade the pragmatic solution to human suffering period and Fox News just has a new piece out talking about the homeless stats in San Francisco or shoring and they went to the city for comment and the city is blaming business I heard that and this is not income disparity this is not big business is driving up the price of housing and I'm willing to subsidize though I would like to know where business big business has been in the state why are they not creating or allocating resources for the government and sort of involving themselves with this problem they've been pretty much silent they need to be actively involved but they're not the cause of the cause if you want to read about the cause is a great book called American psychosis that chronicles the history is how we got here and it's about the care of people with custodial needs that's really what it's about so are you announcing today Ross and asked if you have no voice you say I see you. Because listen listen you actually are a man was a plan we don't have it's so simple it's Listen these are my Taisha it's on the streets I know and what drives me insane is you have a you know an adolescent with a clipboard asking if you have mental illness are you doing drugs that's not how you find out what's going on with these people you need somebody like me out there asking the clinical questions we know it has to tell us what's going on with that patient part of these illnesses on the street have something called anosognosia associated with them they literally the f.m.r.i. Changes are the same as in a stroke in that region where you lose insight and ability to see what is happening to. Do that is when you need help from other people and that part of the brain also will have you answering questions with I'm fine what's wrong with your the problem I'm relatively a political but I'll work on your campaign through got you've got to. Now wait a minute to your point about the problem coming from Sacramento listen to the zip all from just publish from Quinnipiac University they say there has been a 10 point increase in the number of Californians who say they disapprove when asked Do you approve or disapprove of the way Gavin Newsome is handling his job as governor I would have to imagine his handling of the homeless crisis is causing those numbers to soar it is again we have to be pragmatic in our governing it's got to be they have forsaken us citizens they forsaken the people who have voted them into power in the name of ideology and political expediency just look at the fact that we have absorbed over a 1000000 undocumented immigrants in this region now living somewhere they're not on the street. Well what is that is that big businesses fault is that housing problem No They came without a country without a family without a penny without a job and they found a place to live this city don't tell me this is a housing problem it's deeply insulting All right Dr Drew we're going to have to leave it there will be listening today between noon and 3 to you in Leeann Tweeden on midday live with Dr Drew and Leeann Tweeden right here and 7.
