[TECHNICAL ISSUES - JOINING SHOW IN PROGRESS]

JANET: AND THEY WE ALL LOOK THE SAME. GUEST: EXACTLY. JANET: I FIND THAT INTERESTING. BECAUSE I'M A WHOLE LOT ALIKE. GUEST: THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO MOVE. JANET: I'M GOING TO DIGRESS FOR A FLIP THE PAGE JUST A SECOND. I WANT TO BRING RAY. GUEST: I'M HERE. JANET: I WANTED TO INTRODUCE YOU. BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME INFORMATION YOU WANT TO BRING FOR US. GUEST: FOR YOUR LISTENERS THAT MIGHT KNOW WHO I AM, I AM A LAWYER FOR THE ASBESTOS LEGAL CENTER. AND I'M TAKING ACTION ON THIS. WHEN ISSUES COME UP I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO BECOME AWARE OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JANET: APPRECIATE THIS. GUEST: THIS DRUG AFFECTS PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES. PRESCRIBED THE DRUG ACTOS. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE IT. MORE THAN 2.3 MILLION PEOPLE WERE ISSUED IT IN 2010 ALONE. YOU NEED TO GO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. IT'S BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SHELVES IN FRANCE AND GERMANY. ON JUNE 18TH THE FDA ISSUED AN URGENT MESSAGE TO THE USER AND PRESCRIBERS ACKNOWLEDGING THE STATISTICAL DATA THAT SHOWS THE 40% RISK OF GETTING BLADDER CANCER. IF YOU'VE USED THE DRUG FOR THREE OR MORE YEARS YOU'RE AT A 40% INCREASED RISK OF BLADDER CANCER. YOU WOULD THINK WITH TWO COUNTRIES TAKING IT OFF THE MARKET, AND THE FDA ISSUING THAT WARNING, THAT THE DOCTORS WOULD KNOW. BUT WHEN I GOT THE WARNINGS I CALL MY PARENTS. AND MY MOM WAS ON ACTOS. SO WE HAD HER TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY, AND GOT HER OFF. THE OTHER THING IS THAT IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO HAS BLADDER CANCER AND WHO IS THE TYPE TWO DIABETIC, AND ON ACTOS, YOU HAVE LEGAL RIGHTS. AND I'D BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THOSE RIGHTS WITH YOU. JANET: I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. THESE ARE BIG DEALS TO ME. TO GET THIS KIND OF INFORMATION OUT TO PEOPLE PARTICULARLY SINCE THIS IS DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH. YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT WHY IT'S TAKEN OFF THE SHELF IN A COUPLE OF THE COUNTRIES. WE SEEM TO BE BEHIND ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS. I THINK THAT THE MOTIVATING THAT THE PEOPLE DOWNTOWN ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS THE GREED OF MAYBE THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. THEY JUST WANT TO UNLOAD THE DRUGS THAT THEY'VE BEEN HOARDING AND AFTER THEY'RE GONE, THEN THEY'LL TAKE IT OFF THE SHELF. GUEST: IT'S BEEN BEING ALLEGED THAT THE MAKERS OF THIS DRUG KNEW THE OCCURRENCE OF CANCER OCCURRENCE IN ANIMALS, AND WENT AHEAD AND PUT IT ON THE MARKET ANYWAY. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AND IT'S REALLY WHEN YOU HAVE 2.3 MILLION PRESCRIBED THIS DRUG. THE FIRST THING WHEN YOU GET BLADDER CANCER, THE FIRST THING THEY ASK IS WHAT CAN I DO TO TREAT MY CANCER. YOU DON'T THINK WHAT KIND OF MEDICATION THAT CAUSED THIS. JANET: I DON'T THINK PEOPLE THINK THIS MEDICINE IS GOING TO MAKE ME SICK. I LEARNED THIS SOME YEARS AGO. MY DAD HAD HYPERTENSION FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY GAVE HIM A DRUG THAT GAVE HIM KIDNEY FAILURE AND HE HAD TO BE A DIALYSIS. GUEST: AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. JANET: YOU JUST KEEP LETTING ME KNOW. GUEST: I ABSOLUTELY WILL. JANET: NOW I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR LUNCHEON A LITTLE BIT. SANDY, YOU CAN HELP ME OUT ON THIS ONE. I THINK WE DID A LOT BETTER THAN RUBBER CHICKEN, DIDN'T WE, ON THE FOOD? I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. GUEST: YEAH, IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY NICE, THE WHOLE THING. JANET: THE HOTEL WAS REALLY NICE AND I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE PEOPLE FOR MAKING THEIR DONATIONS. DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE TABLES WHERE THE SILENT AUCTION ITEMS WERE? GUEST: I GLANCED THROUGH IT. JANET: I HAD PLANNED TO GET SOMETHING. ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS MADE SOME POT HOLDERS, AND THERE WAS SOME ORANGE ONES. AUDREY GOT THAT MUG WITH KOBE BRYANT. I WAS GOING TO GET IT GONE. GONE. AND THEN I WANT TO GO INTO I'M LOOKING INTO OUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND WITHOUT ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. MICHAEL ANTONOVICH, AND GLORIA MAULANA, AND DON KNABE, AND MARK RIDLEY THOMAS. WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT WE HAVE GOTTEN FROM ALL OF THE PEOPLE, ZEV YARSLAVSKI. I WANT TO THANK THE CALIFORNIA'S TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION FOR GIVING US THIS BIG AD. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. AND CALIFORNIA REHABILITATION SERVICES, THE DISABILITY NETWORK, AND JANET'S PLANET. I THINK I'D LIKE TO GO THERE. AND THEN THE LAWYERS OF THE OFFICE OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY COUNCIL. WE HAVE LEARNING ALLY, MAKING READING ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL. AND SOMETHING ELSE CALLED TOTAL RECALL. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THAT, SANDY? GUEST: SAY THAT AGAIN. JANET: HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF TOTAL RECALL? GUEST: THAT'S ME, AND GAY WHO IS CAPTIONING NOW. JANET: GAY, THANK YOU. THAT'S OUR CAPTIONER'S. SHE'S ALL THE WAY IN ARIZONA AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP. WE HAVE THE JEFFREY FOUNDATION. I GOT A CHANCE TO MEET MS. ALYCE MORRIS WINSTON WHO IS THE CEO AND FOUNDER. WE DID A TRIBUTE TO THE COMMISSIONERS WE LOST THIS YEAR. HARLEY RUBINSTEIN. AND THEN WE LOST IN 2006 NADIA POWERS AND IN 2011 ERNEST HAMILTON AND OUR DEE DEE AWARD IN 2008, AND BUD SIEGEL IN 2009. ERNEST HAMILTON, HE'S THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR ME DOING THIS SHOW. HE TRICKED ME. HE TOLD HE HAD GOTTEN SOME HOOK UP. AND MAYBE HE WAS GOING TO BE A GUEST ON THE RADIO SHOW. AND, WELL YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE STUFF WE TALK ABOUT, HOW TO, WHERE TO GET THE SERVICES YOU NEED. DON'T WEAR YOUR SUNDAY CLOTHES WHEN YOU GO DOWN TO THE COUNTY BUILDING. AND BE PREPARED FOR HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE AFTER THEY GET YOUR PAPERWORK. DON'T EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THEM THE NEXT DAY OR NEXT WEEK. GET PEOPLE PREPARED FOR WHAT IT IS YOU'RE DOING. THE DAY BEFORE THE SHOW HE CALLS ME I DON'T FEEL GOOD. I CAN'T GO. CAN YOU GO IN MY PLACE. OH SURE I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT FOR YOU. HE CALLED ME AT HOME. YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. I SAID WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR COLD. AND HE SAID THAT'S SOMETHING I WANTED YOU TO DO. NOW I WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY THAT WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER THE 26TH AT 6:00 P.M. CITY COUNCIL WEST HOLLYWOOD LIBRARY JOIN THE CELEBRATION IS THE 13TH ANNUAL DISABILITY AWARDS EVENTS. I'M GETTING AN AWARD FOR THE SHOW. GUEST: GREAT. JANET: THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T GIVE OUT THE MEDIA AWARD EVERY YEAR BUT THREE PEOPLE WERE NOMINATED AND ONE WAS THE NETWORK THAT YOU GUYS WERE ON YESTERDAY. BUT I WON FOR THIS SHOW. BUT FOR ALL THAT ARE LISTENING I HAVE A FEELING IT HAD TO DO WITH THE MELTDOWN WHERE THE SOMEBODY THAT WILL REMAIN NAMELESS TRIED TO GET RID OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DISABILITY. YOU GUYS RESPONDED AND HELPED. AND THE CITY'S WEBSITE CRASHED THAT DAY. WHEN I ACCEPT THIS AWARD I HAVE TO THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS IN SUPPORTING THE SHOW. AND LET'S SEE. APPROVAL OF MINUTES, PRESIDENT'S REPORT. EVENTS COMMITTEE. WHICH WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE LUNCHEON. SUMMARY REPORT BY ANGELIE J. DAVIS DEPUTY DISABILITY CIVIL RIGHTS OF THE L.A. COUNTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THAT'S A LONG TITLE. IF YOU GUYS HAVE SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TAP CARD PLEASE CALL 213 974 1053. SO MAYBE WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. LET'S SEE REPORT BY CHIP HAZEN FROM METRO, AND 8 IS REPORT ON ACCESS BOARD MEETING ATTENDED BY KURT HAGEN WHO'S OUR REPRESENTATIVE, AND THEN 9 IS THE ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE COMMISSION ON UPCOMING EVENTS, AND THEN MATTERS NOT POSTED ITEM 10, 11, AND PUBLIC COMMENT, AND ADJOURNMENT. WE WILL BE ADJOURNING IN MEMORY OF SANDY VARGA, A LONG TIME ADVOCATE THAT DIED SUDDENLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. NOW YOU HAVE AN EVENT. TELL ME ABOUT THE EVENT. WHEN IS IT AND ALL THAT STUFF? GUEST: IT'S HOMECOMING. IT'S OCTOBER THE 21ST 2011. OUR JV STARTS AT 4:00. AND THEN THE VARSITY STARTS AT 7:00. WE'LL BE CHEERING AT 7:00. JANET: OF COURSE. THAT'S WHEN THE STAR COMES ON. THE REST OF THEM IS WARM UP. I'VE SEEN WHAT YOU GUYS CAN DO. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW IT MADE ME FEEL. I HAD CHICKEN SKIN. GOOSE BUMPS. I'VE NEVER SAT THAT CLOSE TO CHEERLEADERS. GUEST: WE PROJECT. JANET: AND THE ENERGY. IT JUST TOOK ME RIGHT BACK TO THE BLEACHERS BECAUSE I COULDN'T GO ALL THE WAY UP BECAUSE I COULDN'T GO UP THE STEPS. I WAS SEEING PHILLIP UNDERWOOD GOING AROUND THAT TRACK. I SAW THOSE BANNERS UP IN THE GYM. IT JUST REALLY TOOK ME BACK, AND OH I MENTIONED THIS LAST TIME TOO. BUT DORSEY IS PROBABLY THE MOST WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE CAMPUS. GUEST: EXCELLENT. JANET: BECAUSE IT'S ON ONE LEVEL. AND YOU KNOW ALL THOSE BUNGALOWS AND I LOOKED AROUND, AND LOOKED. I SAW SIGNAGE, AND TWO HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACES ON CAMPUS. I'M HAPPY. THE NEXT THING I WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE GIRL'S GYM. I WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. I'M GOING TO GO TO THE CITY, AND I'M GOING TO COMPLAIN, AND THEY WON'T GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. GUEST: STAY RIGHT ON IT. JANET: I'M WATCHING THE FACT THAT THE METRO LINK BUSINESS IS RIGHT BEHIND THE GIRL'S GYM WHICH I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT STUFF BEING SO CLOSE TO DORSEY. AND I THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA TO RUN THIS HEAVY RAILING DOWN CRENSHAW. UNDERGROUND OR OVER THE ROAD. THERE'S A FAULT. THERE'S A BALDWIN HILLS FAULT THAT GUEST: ISN'T THERE A COMMUNITY GROUP THAT HAS GOTTEN TOGETHER ABOUT THOSE ISSUES. I WAS TALKING TO SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN THE AREA THERE. JANET: YES, THERE IS. IT'S LIKE THE TAP CARD. IT SEEMS TO BE A DONE DEAL, AND THEY DON'T CARE WHAT WE THINK. I THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA TO GET PEOPLE WELL, LET ME SAY THIS. I REMEMBER WHEN THEY BUILT THE HARBOR FREEWAY. I LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO THE SANTA MONICA FREEWAY. LOOK AT THE 91 FREEWAY. THEY TOOK THOSE PEOPLE'S HOMES IN THE 50S. LOOK WHEN THEY BUILT THAT. IS THAT WHAT THAT CRENSHAW IS GOING TO BE LIKE? MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT TO DANNY BAKEWELL. BECAUSE I THINK IT'S NOT RIGHT. SO WE GOT TIME YOU GUYS GOT ONE MORE. GUEST: ONE MORE CHEER. JANET: LET'S HAVE IT. WE'VE GOT A FEW MINUTES LEFT. GUEST: READY SET. WE GOT THE FEVER. WE GOT WHEN THE DONS GOT THE FEVER WE CAN'T BE STOPPED. WE GOT THE FEVER. WE HOT. WHEN THE DONS GOT THE FEVER YOU KNOW WE CAN'T BE STOPPED. JANET: YOU LADIES ARE FABULOUS. YOU REALLY ARE. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE YOU LEFT DORSEY TO COME OVER HERE. THAT'S A COMPLIMENT. GUEST: THAT IS. JANET: YOU STILL LOOK LIKE STUDENTS AND YOU STILL GUEST: IT'S PAST THE ENERGY. IF YOU WATCH THE DANCING WITH THE STARS IT'S NOT ALL THERE IS TO IT. JANET: THERE'S A COUPLE OF THE FOLKS ON THERE THEY GOT THE ENERGY, AND PIECES AND PARTS DON'T MOVE RIGHT. GUEST: SOMETIMES OUR PARTS AND PIECES DON'T WANT TO MOVE. JANET: THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. YOU GUYS HAVE GOT THE POSE, AND YOU GOT IT GOING ON. GUEST: DISCIPLINE. JANET: WELL, I'M VERY PROUD. I'M EVEN MORE PROUD. I WAS PROUD BEFORE TO BE A DORSEY DON, AND WATCHING YOU LADIES, AND YOUR SPIRIT, THE WAY YOU HAVE TO COME TOGETHER TO PUT THIS EVENT TOGETHER. AND THE WAY YOU HAVE REACHED OUT TO YOUR MEMBERS OF YOUR GROUP. AND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN JUDGMENTAL WITH THEM OR ME. WHEN I CAME IN AND I WAS SAYING OH I HAVE UNDETECTABLE HIV. NOBODY BLINKED. GUEST: YOU'RE JUST THE SAME. JANET: YOU WEREN'T SCARED OF ME. AND I LOVE YOU GUYS. AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING ME IN ALL OF THIS. GUEST: WE LOVE YOU. HOW YOU CAME TO US. I FOUND A SPLIT. JANET SHOWED US HOW TO SPLIT. SHE SPLIT FOR US. WE GOT A PICTURE OF HER SPLITTING. JANET: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF THAT. GUEST: IT'S SO NICE YOU CAME, AND YOU GOT RIGHT IN THE SPIRIT WITH US. JANET: IT WAS INFECTIOUS. IT WAS TOTALLY INFECTIOUS. I SAID SHOULD I DO THIS. I DON'T WANT THEM TO THINK I'M SHOWING UP. LET ME GO AHEAD AND DO THIS. WELL, THAT'S IT. THAT'S OUR THEME SONG. THANK YOU, GUYS. PLEASE COME BACK, AND I WANT YOU TO COME BACK, AND LET ME KNOW HOW THE EVENT TURNED OUT. I LOVE YOUR ENERGY.
