5:22:10

5:22:10
My my thank you, chairwrestler.
5:22:12
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
5:22:14
Thank you for having us here.
5:22:15
I gotta give it to CSW.
5:22:16
I'm currently covering a CSW event for my, for my person I'm working with.
5:22:20
I'm a get in trouble, but I'm for doing this, but, might as well say right now, got two minutes.
5:22:25
Alright.
5:22:26
So let's talk about this right now.
5:22:28
Decas the Decas Cops need to start opening the bathroom need to keep the bathroom open.
5:22:32
Why they Lincoln, I wonder why the Decas Cops always have to hope open the bathroom for us when we wanna use the bathroom.
5:22:38
And that's that's that's that's not right.
5:22:40
That's wrong.
5:22:41
I wanna talk about this.
5:22:42
I think that, they need to put the they need to put delivery stations, let delivery stations use the bathrooms inside all, city owned buildings.
5:22:50
They need to let street vendors sell their stuff right outside city owned buildings too.
5:22:54
Why why is it only allow, they allow these, these rip off phone companies, even like these, so called, like, fake free phone companies sell outside the HRA Building, the the Section 8 Buildings, while, a person that wanna sell mangoes can't.
5:23:08
They always get harassed.
5:23:09
The people that sell mangoes always get harassed.
5:23:11
Why why they can't sell things but people that sell those scam phones and people selling scam stuff from the scam energy outside HRA and section eight officers can't do it.
5:23:22
They need to stop, Lincoln.
5:23:23
And one more thing, like I said, delivery says need to be able to use the bathrooms inside the decaf buildings.
5:23:27
Why?
5:23:29
They can't use the bathrooms.
5:23:30
It's ridiculous.
5:23:31
A city owned building, these delivery says get funding from the city, Los Angeles workers' project.
5:23:36
They need to get funding.
5:23:37
They need to be able to start using the backwoods more.
5:23:39
So like I said, like I said, we need preserve the funding for workers' project and street vendor project.
5:23:44
Both of them need to make sure they get over $1,000,000 of government fundings.
5:23:47
And at the same time, like I said, Lincoln, we need to start cracking down on one of why did these cap these these cap, VCAAS cops won't allow his bathroom without letting, open the door for us.
5:23:58
Why why is that?
5:23:59
We need to start cracking down that, mister wrestler.
5:24:01
And and, yeah, one more thing I said, protect our, protect our street vendors.
5:24:07
They should be able to do they should be able to sell stuff outside the the buildings, the HOA buildings and government owned buildings instead of just why why only they going sell some outside City Hall City Hall Park?
5:24:16
But they can't sell outside by HR, they always get harassed.
5:24:20
But they they let the the the cell phone scammers do it.
5:24:23
It's crazy.
5:24:25
I don't know, but it's ridiculous.
5:24:26
Like I said, mister wrestler, like I said, we need to we need to stop this crap with the with the bathroom stuff with the decaf officers.
5:24:32
They they only allow mister's bathroom when they want us to use it.
5:24:36
It's ridiculous.
5:24:36
You gotta go.
5:24:37
You gotta go.
5:24:38
Especially for women.
5:24:39
Women matter.
5:24:40
It's a big movement right now, and this should be a movement.
5:24:43
It should be common sense where, if you're a pregnant woman, you should be prioritized.
5:24:47
You should you should be able to be escorted to use the bathroom when you're a pregnant woman inside the building.
5:24:51
So I got you going up on street at 1 Century Street.
5:24:53
So, mister Ressler, you need to start cracking down that.
5:24:55
You need to have a hearing and and bite out the commissioner again, mister mister Louis Molina, and ask him, like, why are you why do you let why you have that why you have to be escorted use the bathroom?
5:25:06
And in these buildings, it's ridiculous.
5:25:08
You know what I'm saying?
