One of the most famous beaches in the world has turned into a homeless encampment. The famed Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California has become unrecognizable to locals.

KNX 1070 NewsRadio spoke to LAPD Chief Michael Moore about the deterioration and how he is teaming up with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to clean up the beach.

“The sheriff does enjoy jurisdiction across the entire county for law enforcement matters,” Moore told KNX. “He enjoys a great deal of discretion, and he, in his department, as a leader can determine how and which laws they go about enforcing.”

Some police officials have blamed the homeless migration on the failings of local politicians. One councilman who represents the area said the involvement is deeply troubling.

“In Venice, we’re working to marshal resources to offer housing and services to hundreds of people living on the streets, “said Mike Bonin. “Villanueva has not offered actual help. This is a serious crisis. We need people interested in solving it, not exploiting it.”

Bonin blamed Fox News Host Tucker Carlson and KFI’s John and Ken for spreading “nefarious lies” about the situation at Venice Beach.“It’s a lot easier to and cheaper to house people without middlemen and guns,” tweeted Bonin.

Bonin represents a segment of political movement that wishes to use the rise of homelessness to push for government provided housing for everyone. They are absolute weasels as they publicly misrepresent their ultimate motive, and are content to let hoards live in abject misery and filth in the meantime. There’s solutions to address perhaps 80% of the homeless, which is evident by how low the homeless population was in LA county just 10 years ago. Yet any politician that suggests implementing this sort of solution again is literally screamed down by money driven homeless “advocates” that proclaim the exceptions the solutions won’t help.
Bonin has been councilman while his district is overflowing with homeless. He is utterly pathetic.

Brian Kilmeade: Debate Candidates Could Learn From Radio Hosts

“But at one point when you’re arguing, you have to think about the listener and you have to be quiet.”

One of the biggest takeaways from the second 2024 Republican Presidential debate was candidates speaking over one another, with some observers questioning if the moderators lost control or not. Fox News host Brian Kilmeade argued the candidates could learn something from radio hosts about the issue.

During an appearance on 77 WABC’s Sid and Friends in the Morning, Kilmeade told Sid Rosenberg that even though the candidates were given the rules, they still continually talked over one another. He believes it shows a lack of care for what the audience consumes from the debate, and equated the situation to a radio show.

“We do this every day,” Brian Kilmeade said. “You’re gonna go engage, you’ll bring people in to Sid and Friends, and they disagree with you. But at one point when you’re arguing, you have to think about the listener and you have to be quiet. ‘Okay, listen, we’re talking over each other. I’m gonna lay out after maybe five seconds’.

“These guys didn’t stop for about a minute and a half, where we couldn’t make out one word that was said. Nobody had a sense that nothing that we were seeing was coming across. And I was astounded by that.”

Rosenberg agreed, calling it “very amateurish”.

Audio 1 has announced the Jason Lee & Kluck program will be nationally syndicated by the upstart media company.

“We’re beyond thrilled that a company as well-regarded as Audio 1 would show such a glaring lack of judgment in believing that our lunacy should be foisted upon a larger public,” Kluck stated.

“We are energized to find a show with irreverence and fun for everyone that not only plays on a rock format in the mid-west, but that can play on any format in any market,” Audio 1 Director of Programming Mike Ragz said.

The show will continue to be heard from 6:00-10:00 AM ET. Additionally, the pair will continue to produce the Here’s Your Freakin’ Podcast that Audio 1 will distribute.
