- Watch the first televised debate among the candidates for Mayor of Los Angeles.
L.A. Times columnist Erika D. Smith and FOX 11’s Elex Michaelson will moderate the debate which is co-presented by the L.A. Times, Fox 11 and the Dornsife Center for the Political Future.
Karen Bass really said she feels safe at a 10 knowing crime and homicide has gone up 50%. Just wow.
She obviously has security or doesn’t live in LA where the real crime is. 🙄
I've lived in Los Angeles for decades. Unfortunately, career politicians have done nothing for the city. The only person on the stage that offered to hold himself accountable and wasn't a career politician is Caruso. He also held off attacks the whole debate with a sense of humor while Karen, the presumed frontrunner and career politician, barely said a word the whole time. She also said I could easily get elected to the House but I am doing this for you. It was pretty narcissistic.
Yes he is clearly the right person for the job.
I wonder if Bass still regularly visits Communist Cuba.
@@coffeebean5975 Bass is similar to Dianne Feinstein or Kamala Harris in that she is much further to left than she appears, but she'll pivot at any point to the right when she thinks her career is in jeopardy.
@@sprezzatura8755 Because she is black and female...and partisan.
Caruso….we need new people who are not responsible for the current issues. The people in charge led us to today….
He’s a big part of the homeless problem.
@@lynnleglaire4819 Caruso is not a part of the homeless problem. His Grove has created a lot of jobs and revitalized that area and certainly contributed to LA tax dollars. Same for the Americana in Glendale
Karen Bass aka "The Patron Saint of Homelessness" - Hard pass. I'm voting for Rick.
😵 🤫 🤤
Caruso FTW... other candidates are pathetic
Here’s the cliff notes version of the debate. Blah, blah, blah. 4 out of the 5 have been in politics for YEARS!! That means 4 out of 5 have failed us!!!
CARUSO is looking real promising
Rick Caruso is the only one with balls enough to clean up the shithole city that LA has become💯👍🏽🇺🇸
Open your eyes. The whole country is a sh*thole.
Caruso is the right person for the job. Let's admit that what has been tried under traditional politicians has not been working. Neither the homeless or regular citizens are benefiting. Everyone is losing at present. This cannot go on. Los Angeles should be a clean, safe, vibrant and creative city that everyone wants to visit.
@@sprezzatura8755 you are obviously too young to remember the fiasco Roirden, a business person, who was the mayor and started the homeless problem in LA.
@@lynnleglaire4819 not even close, Riordan left office in 2001 & the tents popped up in DTLA in 2012. And homeless have been in LA since the 30s at least. Also, Riordan was in office from 1993-2001 and during that time crime in LA went down
@@Evettecord where do you live? I worked in DTLA and the east side…tents popped up like crazy. You just didn’t notice. It was horrific and we knew then we were headed for big problems.
Maybe we can’t all agree on who the best candidate is. But can we all agree that Karen Bass would be the most destructive by far?
Ironically she’s the one who the machine is going to back.
I'm not voting for her.
Same - she's out of her mind to think she feels safe in LA! LA will be the next Compton under her reign
Caruso has my vote. Centrist, and wanting to strengthen law enforcement
I do not want Bass or Del lion
Caruso! A man who actually accomplished great things in the private sector! Made LA a better place with his projects , put people to work and brought revenue to the city! Then he helped the city in other ways. Also appreciate Buscaino, a man who put his life on the line to protect those of us in the city and served in other ways!
I like me some Caruso.
Buscaino is good too.
The candidates really went after Caruso lol. But that pretty much backfired because he handled it really well.
Karen Bass too soft on encampments/homelessness. Isn't against Gascon. How is she in the lead in the polls?
The Jewish community likes bass and is debating bet her and feuer
I dont think buscaino will make it
@@occupytillicome6222 yeah, I was turned off when he kept going after Caruso. Caruso handled himself well
@@Evettecord feuer messed himself up with that comment about carusos tax returns
Come to San Pedro and ask the tax paying residents how we feel about Buscaino. He's turned as corrupt as the rest sans Caruso. Caruso gets my vote. No more voting for the same people who created the problem!
Bass and DeLeon are jokes! Caruso for LA Mayor!
all these candidates are ass. same basic shit that was regurgitated before bernie was exposing corporations and politicians. nothing gonna change with these hacks. btw dont get the nazis in an uproar my guy.
Rick Caruso seems to have a good head on his shoulders.I want him to be L.A.'s next mayor, especially because he's dedicated to the homeless crisis.
Look, the people who created the problems telling us how they'll fix them
The urban camping law created when the ACLU sued the city of Los Angeles on behalf of homeless, has caused this mess. Police have their hands tied. We need this overturned.
Correction to the moderator: Caruso actually donated and voted for Buttigieg in the primary, and voted for Biden in the general election
I like Kevin De Leon. He was well spoken and sounds like he truly cares about the community.
He helped create this crisis.
@@laylacicconi8447 elaborate.
Don’t be tricked into his tone and story apparently he was part of the problem
@@josephbanda9014 can you educate me on that? I haven’t found anything or anyone able to elaborate on it
@@rhsteinb I just heard from other’s comments about how he says he did all this in which he actually hasn’t done a good job. I think he does care about the community however not to sure yet about him
Good debate Fund the Police help the homeless and mental health people .
We will be replacing absolute trash (Garcetti) with hot garbage. Politricks
Then you run.
@@VoteForBukele he’d probably be better than them lol
Good debate. We need Caruso! And maybe he should hire Buscaino and Deleon to help him after he wins.
Exactly my thoughts. Let’s stand with the builder and support him from there.
More government isn't the answer folks.
I actually enjoyed this debate, career L.A. politicians vs doers like Caruso and Buscaino. Far from perfect but stick to common sense policies, not utopian ideas 😏
increasing taxes is common sense ?? hahahahaha
Come to San Pedro and see how dystopian it is no thanks to Joe Buscaino.
Don’t be so scared of change!
Elaborate. In what way are Caruso and Buscaino doers?
@@laylacicconi8447 so Joe not it ?
Caruso and Buscaino are the best candidates for the City of Los Angeles...I believed they can clean up the problems.
Caruso won by a million miles.
The attacks against him makes me think he's either a republican or not too far left. I don't know if a republican can win a vote in California.
Caruso has no experience or interest in building affordable housing. His track record proves it. His words are as empty as his suit.
@@bobbierobinson6269 he’s actually an independent, but registered as a Democrat for the election
@@phantomphan873 independent sounds good.
@@bobbierobinson6269 He used to be a Republican.
Audit the books for all government open them up lets see where our tax dollars are lets see who will agree to that
I don’t think just building a bunch of cheap housing is the answer. Many are addicts and/or alcoholics, mentally ill, drug dealers, people flocking to LA for the weather and benefits. Will you build housing that turns into the old style “projects”? We need mental facilities. We need FEMA to step in, maybe build temporary camps with facilities, like they did after Katrina, that include social workers to transition these people. Clean up our streets, our public transit so that they are safe & CLEAN. This isn’t about clearing a path for more construction.
Buscaino or Caruso one of the two.
Karen Bass's proposal pretty much will result in nothing being changed in LA.. Crime will keep going up and so will homelessness
Drain the Swamp Rats. Vote Caruso.
Thats filling the swamp. Instead of electing a corrupt corporate sympathizer u would elect the corrupt corporation itself.
You’re right. He’s another Trump in Democratic clothing. He only changed his registration in 2016
Good Debate enjoyable.
🎯💯 They actually debated the issues
Olive view use to be a sanatorium and Los Angeles county hospital in boyle heights was the only hospital in the county till 1963. Were not building enough to keep up with population and there is so many empty buildings in los angeles!
Actually, Camarillo State Mental Hospital in CA was the best in the country. We need something like that again. The homeless I see all around me are mentally ill and/or drug addicts/alcoholics. The drug dealers live and work in the encampments too. Our police need to be able to deal with these people too.
Housing the homeless doesn’t fix addiction
Caruso is the best democrat on stage
He’s only a “democrat” because LA doesn’t know how to vote otherwise lol
Finding a solution for homelessness and drug addiction requires more than one minute segment, But what do I know, I just listen to Joe Rogan.
People can't get out if California fast enough. Fact..
First get rid of Gascon, prosecute him and convict/prosecute him fully death row for bonus.
Second, no more blue or red party garbage.
Third: Support the blue.
"I housed more homeless than you have." "My parents were poorer than yours." ....therefore vote for me. What a joke.
Isn't that the point of eradicating the homeless issue? By housing more homeless? You're the joke
@@robert5507🤣
well i mean its obvious none of these other rich run of the mill politicians have done anything for the poor, so might as well give someone who lived it a shot.
I see what your saying playing victim of some sort for people to feel some sympathy.. I did notice that. Lol
But maybe was in good intentions 🤷🏻♀️
APPALLING situation which has continued for decades....The people in this country are too selfish, greedy, uneducated, and ignorant to do what's necessary to eradicate the homelessness and poverty affecting its citizens, and allowing more indigent immigrants into the country is asinine and exacerbates the problem.
Longtime LA resident here. The homeless situation began to rapidly grow during the Reagan admin when he slashed social services, funding for mental hospitals, and other policies that shattered the social safety net. Then in 2006, I believe, the ACLU sued the city of LA on behalf of the homeless, winning the suit and creating the Urban Camping law. It gave homeless permission to camp on any Los Angeles City street between 9pm-6am, not blocking a driveway. The police had their hands tied. Before that, the LAPD used to clear them out. With all the amenities offered to homeless here, combined with the weather, homeless flock to this city. Free tents, easy laws. This has to end.
CDC HAS NO CREDIBILITY LEFT
As a resident of South LA, Watts area for some years and grew up in Lincoln heights east LA area. Crime has always been up and running. Not sure what these politicians have done to make it safe in the last years but I can say growing up I never walked alone home. Always looked behind my back.
So I say more police. If you are not doing any crime why are you afraid to be stopped? Why are you afraid of the police ?
Why are young kids out after 8p alone?
My parents never let us out of our home because drive by in the day. Back early 2000s
I got jumped by a bunch of Jordan down kids when I was 16.
Reform the people, educate families on discipline and working hard, my family came as immigrants and worked hard to get two properties in city of LA that we call a home.
We are proud Angelenos and Our city deserves better people in our community who actually want to build rather than destroy. LA is my home!
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. Left when I was 17 and never returned and never will. By the time I left it was in chaos...riots, gangs and no leader ship to keep the streets clean of thugs and trash on the streets I mean trash as in litter.
Who is the least liberal candidate running for mayor?
Buscaino or Caruso
@@mariemoncada6980 for LA's sake hopefully one of those 2 will win.
Caruso, buscaino hasn’t done anything for his sector. San Pedro/Wilmington and now harbor city has been the dumping grounds for the homeless and Buscaino has allowed it. He only cleans it when he’s shooting for a commercial or campaign add
@@Ozymondias99 I live in Buscainos district. Take a drive in downtown Wilmington and San Pedro and you will see my reasoning.
Homeless? Man, they can't stand the sight of us. GOT to sweep them under the door mat and line our friend's pockets.
LA doesn’t need a mayor it needs warden. The illusion of choice continues.
Not if there is social policy change!
@@Lakridza67 social policy is code for elevate the criminals to bring in a Jewish new world order
@@Lakridza67 What social policy change? Elaborate.
No more career politicians, look what they have done to L.A.
What a disgusting display. If this is the best Los Angeles can do we are in a lot of trouble.
I'm not voting for Caruso if he doesn't release his tax returns
I wish the people of LA lots of luck. They need a good mayor who will actually tackle all of these problems, while being fought tooth and nail. Whoever wins is going into a hot mess. Letting the homeless crisis get this bad is a top priority. They are all talking about "beds" when many of these people don't put a decent place to sleep above drugs. Many of the drug problems come from mental health problems, so maybe those beds should be in a mental health facility.
I also love how I hear someone talking about segregation in the south while stating that LA is segregated also. It may not be the same but it's also not much different...You have Latino neighbors, black neighbors, etc and it can be like a war zone if they clash. That means a different kind of education needs to be taught there, and everywhere else, about how we are alike more than different.
Most of them seem likable, most seem to really care, so hopefully whomever wins will make a difference.
Poor person here: ppl who worked for their wealth have all the right to do what they want with their own money. Just don't mismanage ours', the taxpayers.
Congresswoman Karen Bass is the obvious most qualified candidate to become L.A’s first woman Mayor. Yet Millionaire Businessman Rick Caruso is buying this election and playing the Trump card, by denigrating career politicians and trying to prove that he alone can fix L.A. yet I don’t believe the people of L.A will buy Caruso’s boasting. I am disappointed in the fact that I have yet to see one add for any other candidate like Bass as opposed to daily ads by Caruso. I will support Bass come hell or high water, yet if she wins, it will prove that you can’t buy an election in L.A, the people are too sophisticated if she looses to Caruso it will prove that Angelenos and Americans in general can easily be brought by slick ads.
All of these clowns are already in politics except Caruso and they have done NOTHING to better LA. That’s all you need to know.
The people of LA need to stop electing democrats…things have gone to hell and voting another democrat in will not fix it…vote democrats out nationwide
We 're blue...no thank you.
@@marryellenmonahan5585 vote democrats out nationwide…democrats failed in Afghanistan, failed at both borders, failed on inflation, failed on crime, failed on murder, failed to defund police, failed on build back better, failed on the vaccine mandates, failed to rig the midterms. Which democrat failure is your favorite there are a lot to choose from
It's ridiculous when Repubs claim they're better at running things when in 2018, 18 of the 19 poorest states had legislatures in which both chambers were Repub controlled, and 9 of the poorest also had Repub governors. Overall the states that take most in federal money are overwhelmingly red whereas those that contribute the most are disproportionately blue. Even in red states, the centers of commerce are typically in blue leaning regions. Counties that voted Democrat in the last presidential election generate 70% of the US economy.
Nope! They deserve what they get.
@@jag5014 which democrat failure is your favorite? They still have plenty of time to humiliate themselves more…you know like knees up Harris says…there is significance to the passage of time hahaha
To Erika, overpaid (supposedly) well-educated newspaper columnist:"So the rules that all of the candidates agreed to *ARE* ...."
It's funny when people richer than the politicians complain that the politicians make too much money.
Lots of homeless died in homeless encampments in Buscainos district and many people have died because of these vagrants.
Since this thread is about Los Angeles can anyone tell me if Johnnys Shrimp Boat still exits downtown?
Does anyone else hear someone chewing gum, or eating on a hot mic?
What's the poll saying today? 🌵⚖️
You need more than 30,000!
Billy Bush is not a magic bus, funny man.
Does anyone else think Joe Buscaino look like he's on SNL
Let me offer some input here.
SOCIAL POLICY REFORM IS ESSENTIAL HERE. STOP CRIMINALISING MENTAL ILLNESS AND POVERTY.
Bring back more social welfare funding. You cant afford not to!
Hasn't it worked since it was implemented in the 1960's.
@@DeepVerma728 meaning?? Are you suggesting that the welfare state was a failure, or are you suggesting that the end of the WS was a failure?
@@Lakridza67 Welfare state is a failure. Just look at Black America. WS is the western world it dies you die.
@@DeepVerma728 I vehemently and passionately disagree with you!
African Americans have a history steeped in discrimination and slavery!
Therefore it is not surprising that there have been issues within these communities as an aftermath to all those challenges.
Face facts, not all people are able to work! Some people will die without an adequate social safety net.
Some suffer from conditions we know nothing about. WHY can we not just accept that and accept the vital necessity for the welfare state to re emerge. Neo liberalism led us here and it failed spectacularly!
@@Lakridza67 We are solving the problem full blown integration. Slave populations are to be absorbed into the dominant society. Translation you're to mix. Been the policy since ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome.
You can tell who the politicians are by the way they’re trying to answer the questions the politically correct way vs with the truth. Homelessness is an issue, but it starts with properly funding the police
We need to bring back our mental institutions and place the criminally insane there first
Lol, their budget is already the largest of any other agency or institution by far. It starts with actually building affordable housing and not listening to nimbys.
None of this crap about beds, people need their own personal space with walls, not a military style barracks.
Here we have a debate to - among other things - get to know these candidates. And yet, FOX 11 can't manage to put up the name of the candidates the ENTIRE time a candidate is speaking? C'mon you guys. You can do better....
Hunger Games
I think that Los Angeles has become so large and so prominent to Earth that Los Angelinos can no longer claim that Los Angeles is private property.
These people waltz into an institution of higher learning with talk of war and how acceptable and honorable 'their' spin is.
One reason why LA appears to have a homeless problem is that the weather's pretty nice year-round. Most other cities will see people 'need' to seek shelter. If they're going to claim "mentally ill" they should look at landlords demanding excessive fees. Politics is a joy/luck club too often.
Rodney's rubber baton late to the tea party.
Alright lets do the math here.
The Keynesian Welfare State ends, Hard right neo liberalism is fervently embraced in western democracies.
Result, end of Institutional care models, the beginning of Über punitive social policies, the growth of prisons, and poverty and homelessness off the radar. Wasn't difficult now was it?!
VOTE 1 Karen Bass!
No, she’s too liberal. She’s gonna make the crime and homeless situation worst and spread it all over
@@Evettecord how do you figure that out?
Certain ‘think tanks’ have had catastrophic input into the current social welfare crisis.
It is based on punitive policies that have led to mass homelessness, an over inflated housing market, and mass poverty. Couple this with precarious working conditions in the lower wage earning markets and you get the idea right?!
@@Lakridza67 we need to remove many of the housing restrictions to let builders build more housing. More supply will help w/ pricing. Im also for REzoning vacant commercial property to residential to add to the housing supply. We need to bring back the mental health institutions for our criminally insane. Also, we need institutions for those w/ addiction. That will help a lot
@@Lakridza67 what are your thoughts on lower wage retail workers getting killed during a robbery? It’s been a significant issue in NY
@@Evettecord very little to be honest! I think it’s nothing less than a tragedy.
Let me ask you a question. Just to clarify, are you referring to the safety of the retail staff, or are you seeking a deeper explanation? By this, I mean looking at the crime through a social context?
help the homeless that wants the help like getting of drugs , mental health , and getting a job those that don't well built a reservation or something like a camp like they did for refugees and keep them there far away from us , or in cages like they do the immigrants , if people think that's inhumane well maybe but these people that are in refugee camps , reservations and in cages are not drug addicts, criminals , they're nothing like these homeless people n yet that's where they are 🙏🏼😜
Karen Bass is the best choice. I look forward to watching this debate, but I'm a decades long Angeleno. I already know the track record of everyone on the stage, and debating skills are not the same as government leadership skills. Karen Bass is hands down the best candidate on that stage. Her track record in the state assembly, and in Congress is outstanding. She shares all my values, she fights for all the issues I care about, and she'd be a fantastic LA Mayor.
Caruso!
De Leon sounds good.
If you want the city streets to remain filthy & dangerous, he sure does👍🏽
He did but let's face it his a smooth far left career politician.
He really impressed me tonight! His delivery was kind of flat but he has the chops and the right perspective.
@@la2atl he helped create this problem.
@@carlosmejia5824 far left? lol
