I haven't got used to these well spoken speeches what Mayor Garcetti did after listening so much Trump's self-centered admirations of himself and dictators.
I have such a low bar for politicians right now. I was so genuinely impressed by his coherency and calmness that inside I was like "Garcetti for President" but really we've been condition lately by Trumps rambling incoherence and all his sycophants who race around in circles repeating themselves over and over instead of answering simple questions (I've seem some Dems do that too, to be fair). I've forgotten that it is normal to speak, no rant. It's normal to answer the question you were asked, not deflect. This interview was so refreshing. I lived in Los Angeles as a kid and I'm glad to hear about all the great things Garcetti is planning for the city. I've always said I'd never move back there because you have to be rich in order to enjoy it but I may have to rethink that decision...or at least start visiting again since my family is still there.
Yeah. He’s actually bought & owned by corrupt Big Money. Amazing how speaking sentences makes people want this Neoliberal in Office. Even Californians don’t want him. He registers at a few percent in California. Lowest among politicians in California.
ScootMagoot46 : so, tell me which big corporate money wants to fix the homeless situation, and which big corporation wants to make less money on private prisons? we'll all wait for your enlightened response.
What source do you want? Go look up his donors. OpenSecrets.org ? The guy is entirely funded by corrupting Big Money donors. He’s nothing but a puppet like all our politicians.
ScootMagoot46 And I can assume you are “woke” to all these evils that face our country and voted for trump to stop it or something like that? Because it seems like you’re really having fun sharing around this copypasta.
So you're complaining about the fact that he's just like every other politician? Being a politician is an inherently slimy business. Decent people have to accept campaign donations to get elected. That is a problem with our electoral system, but it doesn't necessarily mean that every politican is corrupt (the majority are though). I've lived in LA for most of my life, and I can tell you first hand that this guy has been great for LA. He brought us back from the verge of bankruptcy, has been the most transparent mayor we've had in my lifetime, and has gone out of his way to call out corruption. So what if you saw his name on some conspiracy website? He's done good things for my city and has been a breath of fresh air after decades of incompetent governing. Maybe you shouldn't open your mouth on subjects you have zero knowledge of. Of course, that is your right, but it makes you look like an ignorant buffoon.
He’s literally a Bought & Owned Neoliberal who’s articulate. They’re a dime a dozen. A puppet of his corrupting Big Money donors and status-quo as hell.
Oh FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING IDIOT. Your kind have TANKED this fucking country. Go back to your fucking basement and pat yourself on the back for FUCKING US ALL.
Serai3 my friend you should take a break and read this text was dictated via Google so that it May soothe your heart and allow you a more collected and civilized political discussion. have a great night friend
I am the great-grandchild of immigrants and I completely agree with Mr. Garcetti. We are a country of immigrants and the current government policies are a utterly inhumane and should be abolished.
oakdryad1962 Almost all of us are children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of immigrants. John F Kennedy wrote a book called "A Nation of Immigrants". Your fellow citizens who voted for Trump are undermining the very nature of what it means to be American.
Well. Not sure what you're saying exactly, but I liked what he said in this video. I'm not familiar with him though, which is why I said I'm going to follow him now, this way if he's running in 2020, I can vote for him if I like his work.
Mayor Garcetti really is an awesome, genuine person. He's also a Navy veteran and he's done astounding things for the veteran community in Los Angeles. He had an initiative to hire 10k veterans in the city of LA and he met that goal almost immediately. I was at that veteran job fair when he announced the "10k Strong" was a success in it's first year (I think it was projected to be successful in like five.) I got to meet him for an interview (I was just a camera operator still in film school.) He chat for a bit. He joked for a bit. My first name is also Eric and we're both veterans so we joked about that. The entire interview I'm just like "Hey Eric, do you mind if I get this light closer to your face?"---"not a problem, Eric. I can mark with the slate if that'd make things easier."---"Hell yeah, Eric. Thank you." Then someone else, I don't know if they were part of his staff or who they were from, comes in and also tries calling him just Eric. He just gets an extremely cold as fuck face for half a second and goes "It's Mayor Garcetti" before going back to joking with me between takes. 10/10 would vote for POTUS.
SpyCheckingPyro Impressive work about the veterans. Admirable. But less admirable his behaviour when someone mistakingly assumes, „Eric“ is acceptable as he/she witnessed your interaction with him. He could have resolved that saying „Nope, Eric is just for this vet here...“ But cold facing and saying „It‘s Mayor Garcetti“ just makes him an ass.
We’ve had enough of Bought & Owned Neoliberal politicians like this goof. He’s all talk. Won’t change shit. Nothing but a puppet of his corrupting Big Money donors/owners. Sorry. Truth.
ScootMagoot46 And I can assume you are “woke” to all these evils that face our country and voted for trump to stop it or something like that? Because it seems like you’re really having fun sharing around this copypasta.
ScootMagoot46 Seriously. It's a jaded perspective to have, but you're not wrong. There's a reason voter turnout is so low. We KNOW none of these fucking liars care about us. They care about their wealthy donors and the lobbys. That's it. Democracy only works for the wealthy.
I work for the City of LA right across the street from City hall. Mayor garcetti is a great guy. I can already see changes in LA. It’s booming, more police are out patrolling the streets and it’s feeling safer. If he runs, it would be great for our nation.
The homeless in Calif. are from around the country. Spectacular outdoor weather means year-round outdoor survival is possible. You are welcome for caring for your homeless.
Cue 1st Amend Also, many cities give their homeless people Greyhound tickets to the destination of their choice-it’s much cheaper than feeding and housing them.
"We should be using our federal resources to go after truly dangerous people, not mothers and fathers and grandmothers and people who want to become Americans." Preach it!
ScootMagoot46 And I can assume you are “woke” to all these evils that face our country and voted for trump to stop it or something like that? Because it seems like you’re really having fun sharing around this copypasta.
I live here in LA, i'M 71 Y/O, A BABY-BOOMER, & yes, it's not easy living in diversity. Our country's freedom's are not easy. Voting isn't easy. Paying taxes isn't easy. ----But I'm proud to be a part of this city, this state, & yes, Our beloved America. And I say, our diversity is our strength---if we just allow it. Here in LA, WE MANAGE IT PRETTY DAMN WELL. And I'm proud to be a part of that, every day. So, be it Eric Garcetti or Kamala Harris, my state WILL play a role in the 2020 Election . Count on it! --------------------WolfSky9
Hearing him talk about mental health and homelessness really resonates with me. One of my nephews is schizophrenic and, as is common with many people with psychic pain (be it temporary situation or an endless struggle) self-medicates. After several years of being in and out of group homes, trying various medications to control the voices and hallucinations, and simply struggling to get through the day, he found the right combination. It was such a relief, and it was amazing to go to family events and not only have him be there, but to also be able to interact with an only slightly removed version of himself. He even found a part-time job. It was great! And then something happened...I don’t know what it was or what precipitated it, but he quit his job, went off his meds, and left his group home to live on the streets of San Jose (my family’s home town). Last I heard from my sister, he was still out there. Mental illness is so crazy hard to cope with and to get under control, and a large percentage of the homeless population are mentally ill. I don’t have any answers, just a lot of sorrow and pain for my sweet, wonderful, lost nephew.
Sadly you are a dumb-ass wingnut sarcasm go look it up; and right now the Russians are kicking your ass; its best you learn something before you teach.
How stupid. You might as well vote for for trump. This guy is status-quo Neoliberal and Owned by corrupt Big Money. Good job. You just elected trump again.
First of all, housing is one of the human rights issues. I am happy to hear that Mayor Garcetti is working on it together with other mayors around the country. The international human rights organizations are certainly very unhappy with this country, and I understand that most Americans do to. So why is it that you idiots are voting for guys that don't have your interests at heart?
Annette Cocheret Donald Trump made the typical dictator move of saying that this country is in danger and he would save it; and a few too many people fell for it. I'm just glad that Donald is just a clown not a real dictator
exactly!! thats the problem. Police are finding it harder to do their jobs because people won't talk to them because they are scared of being deported. Then we are going after people that aren't violent, go after the violent criminals.
I think "if peace breaks out" is an odd phrase. In my mind, peace stretches out on the couch and takes a nice nap in the afternoon sunlight filtering through the window.
It's probably a reference (deliberate or not) to Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch about a deadly joke used as a weapon in WW2. The phrase "in 1945 peace broke out" is used in the last segment and entered pop culture from there.
Martin, I hate to say this but it sounds like your time is short. Because peace creates life while destruction ends Everything. Whatever little treasure you think you would have left for yourself is an illusion.
Bringing down homelessness is _one_ important issue. Where does he stand on making quality university education tuition free, establishing universal healthcare, establishing the metric system, basing the electoral system in the US on the _popular vote_ for a change, introducing second-language reforms into this country's public schools and doing all manner of _other_ things to bring us up to date with the rest of the first world?
I'm an Angeleno and traffic and homelessness are huge problems here. I've been living here all my life, but in recent years both have gotten so bad. I really do hope the new metro lines and the new housing bill will help solve these problems, otherwise I will have to find somewhere else to live. Rent is crazy here and wages are so low. Minimum wage is $11, but a one bedroom averages 2,000 a month.
I support you #Garcetti but my wife is voting for Terry Crews. I loved hearing everything youve said as a permanent resident alien whos family wanted security makes me feel like family back in Ukrain Russia Poland Germany still have a chance to get away from haters when they muster the merrit to move to a new country, no small task especially illegaly, and as for "illegal" F#@K this worlds imaginary lines! Governments should never have the right to deny our species life on earth.
Holy shit, that immigrant/cop story gave me goosebumps. That dude is insanely articulate and so so american like. Like from the time before The Donald. This is what we outsiders valued about the US and why we wanted to pursue the American Dream. That dude from LA over there. Kudos, good sir. And good luck.
Well spoken and with heart. I was just saying to myself well, that’s someone who I can be proud of to call my president. And then Trevor asked the question.
At the Olympics in LA in '84, people worried about traffic. 'Twas a breeze. I don't quite know how they did that, but it worked and will again. Congratulations Los Angeles on your winning Olympic bid.
What Mayor Garcetti is describing is called, Dual Diagnosis. A person suffers from a mental disorder and to feel normal, might resort to alcohol and/or street drugs, in turn becoming dependent upon them and now an addict with a mental disorder is born, ie Dual Diagnosis. L.A. is not giving the same attention to this increasing problem, which has been growing every year since the early 90's.
The US needs more politicians like Garcetti on both sides of the aisle.... really whether you are a fiscal conservative, or raging liberal, decisions and policy positions have to be made on Facts first, then compassion, and finally what do I believe.
"down tick in homelessness." San Diego recorded a similar trend, except for the fact that a local PBS reported a shelter full of people and other groups on the street were not counted. Amazing, you stop counting people you previously included, you will see a lower number. Wonder if LA has taken the same tactic. After the hep a out break last summer I would not be surprised.
Eric Garcetti is the best! I met him a few years ago and he was so amazing and not to mention yummy - Aside from that he's just a considerate with respect to the middle class people.
Um....yea....can we have him for mayor for a little bit longer? We're barely getting things better. I'm all for having him run, but lets not take him away yet.
OMG - what a beacon of light at the end of a very very very long and dark tunnel - hope he lives up to the words expressed tonight and if so, does run for President...
If you're working to keep rent low in Los Angeles, why did rent increase last year, and why has there been more open apartments while rent has stayed so high?
For gods sake. You might as well vote for trump then. He’s not winning all 3 Rust Belt states against trump, which is required. The guy is a Neoliberal who is Bought & Owned by Corrupt Big Money donors/owners. Ffs
ScootMagoot46 And I can assume you are “woke” to all these evils that face our country and voted for trump to stop it or something like that? Because it seems like you’re really having fun sharing around this copypasta.
I didn’t vote for trump. Although I’d take him with a Democratic Congress over this garcetti who is nothing but an articulate puppet of his big Money donors. He’s change nothing.
ScootMagoot46 Sorry what did you say there? I only allow one typo and that was saying you’re ok with trump being in office. So what was that last sentence about again?
I have to go find out Garcetti's sign because his facial expressions give away his thoughts so much. I'm going to guess Cancer is in there somewhere. It's cute, every time he gets an applause or he knows he delivered a kick ass answer, his eyes do this thing and he struggles not to grin. It's the cute little self-satisfied squirm like his brain is screaming, "NAILED IT!" I hope he does run. I like his energy.
I appreciate that you have a difference of opinion from me but in the absence of proof, it's just a little annoying that you have commented on two of my posts with almost the same comment verbatim. If you want to have a healthy discussion about a politician you feel is unhealthy for the state of California, then do so. If you just want to sound like --well, you know what you sound like--then go off, I guess. I'll be minding my business while you drown in your feelings.
I haven't got used to these well spoken speeches what Mayor Garcetti did after listening so much Trump's self-centered admirations of himself and dictators.
Well..... Well..... Well......

What an inspiring politican! Unfortunately a sentence that I really don't get to say a lot about US politicians.
So interesting how he’s bought & owned by corrupt Big Money. We love our status-quo, Bought & Owned politicians! Yay!
ScootMagoot46 source please.
What source do you want? Go look up his donors. OpenSecrets.org ? The guy is entirely funded by corrupting Big Money donors. He’s nothing but a puppet like all our politicians.

Wow wonderful guy right there.God bless him immensely.
Lol
Where do we find more like him? We need more individuals and leaders like him. He gives me hope for us.
He’s literally a Bought & Owned Neoliberal who’s articulate. They’re a dime a dozen. A puppet of his corrupting Big Money donors and status-quo as hell.
Stephen M sad to hear. It seems earnest and sincere. Seems its becoming harder to discern the difference between who is real and who is not.
europe
Its an act, he's corrupt as hell
So proud I was able to vote for him when living in LA. I miss him and hope he'll run for higher office including president.
Lol. We don’t want this Neoliberal Bought & Owned self. Sorry.
ScootMagoot46 dude how many hours did you spend responding to ppl, Ive only opened 5 comments but you really must have no life😂😂

California is bad ass,...the diversity and culture is amazing .
Depends where in California you are. Sacremento, for instance, is a shithole. Most of Sillicon Valley is nice
Absolutely!
He should run for President😊
Yeah, we need all the Big Money Owned politicians we can get. Who cares that he’s a puppet of the corrupting Big Money donors. Good call! Lol
ScootMagoot46 How about you find the proof

Leaders like Eric Garcetti give me hope for the future of America.
Man! This guy is awesome! Inspiring!
You’d love his corrupt Big Money donors and his neoliberal agenda!
In a time of such toxic politics it's refreshing to hear a voice of civil discourse.
Ah, reminds me of the good 'ol days, haha
Good job Mr. Garcetti, you got my vote in 2020

Lol. What a joke. The guy is status-quo and bought & Owned. He’s an elitist who’s just a articulate puppet of his wealthy donors/owners.
Take a stroll in downtown LA and you will see how wrong you are. This guy has done nothing, and wants a promotion for no good reason.
Wow u have my vote and I'm South African; Americans necessitated this world vote when they elected the Donald.
Sadly, South Africans can't vote in US elections. If only you were Russian....
Sadly you are a dumb-ass wingnut sarcasm go look it up; and right now the Russians are kicking your ass; its best you learn something before you teach.
How stupid. You might as well vote for for trump. This guy is status-quo Neoliberal and Owned by corrupt Big Money. Good job. You just elected trump again.
Joao Da Gama come to America friend you can live in my garage.
First of all, housing is one of the human rights issues. I am happy to hear that Mayor Garcetti is working on it together with other mayors around the country.

Annette Cocheret biggest mystery ever
Garcetti is as bought & owned as they come. A puppet of the elitist donors. Throws a bone to the poor rarely.
m norton buswell And they believe that President Trump is their great white hope.
Annette Cocheret Donald Trump made the typical dictator move of saying that this country is in danger and he would save it; and a few too many people fell for it. I'm just glad that Donald is just a clown not a real dictator
He talks nice, but its all bs
The best interview in the daily show, period.
This dude has a great story! President ?
exactly!! thats the problem. Police are finding it harder to do their jobs because people won't talk to them because they are scared of being deported. Then we are going after people that aren't violent, go after the violent criminals.
That was true in the 70's and 80's but is no longer the case.
police chiefs have recently said that it makes their job harder...
This man should be president of the USA
No no a million times NO!!
Oh my god this Guy is amazing!!! So inspiring.
You guys have the finest mayor around ,ticking all the boxes ,lucky yousss
I think "if peace breaks out" is an odd phrase. In my mind, peace stretches out on the couch and takes a nice nap in the afternoon sunlight filtering through the window.

Peace is a day without hearing a painfully ignorant Trump soundbite.

Love the show this guy is awesome what a great man oh my goodness if he does run I would definitely vote for him love it
I'd vote for him
Bringing down homelessness is _one_ important issue. Where does he stand on making quality university education tuition free, establishing universal healthcare, establishing the metric system, basing the electoral system in the US on the _popular vote_ for a change, introducing second-language reforms into this country's public schools and doing all manner of _other_ things to bring us up to date with the rest of the first world?
He’s the kind of politician who will say anything and change nothing. His big Money donors/owners control him.
These are great questions! Hopefully we get to see him discuss all of these issues when he runs.
He makes me want to move into his city
Lol. He gets poor approval ratings among his constituents.
ScootMagoot46 wrong.
Ive had to deal with him personally. He's NOT a good guy, and he's destroying la
He's not a good person ? Really ?
I'm an Angeleno and traffic and homelessness are huge problems here. I've been living here all my life, but in recent years both have gotten so bad. I really do hope the new metro lines and the new housing bill will help solve these problems, otherwise I will have to find somewhere else to live. Rent is crazy here and wages are so low. Minimum wage is $11, but a one bedroom averages 2,000 a month.
Now 'he' is president material.
Very good speaker
Damn this dude is dope guess one day I’m run for Mayor
I support you #Garcetti but my wife is voting for Terry Crews. I loved hearing everything youve said as a permanent resident alien whos family wanted security makes me feel like family back in Ukrain Russia Poland Germany still have a chance to get away from haters when they muster the merrit to move to a new country, no small task especially illegaly, and as for "illegal" F#@K this worlds imaginary lines! Governments should never have the right to deny our species life on earth.
Garcetti for President!!
I loved this interview 😤
I love this guy
Great Message! Keep up the good work and keep your moral compass uncompromised! Take that message to DC!
You have my vote!
Great skirting the issue on that last answer, Mayor! Go for it . . . you'd make a good prez
We love our Bought & Owned neoliberals! Corruption all day!
oooo how much did you pay for your corruption?
Holy shit, that immigrant/cop story gave me goosebumps. That dude is insanely articulate and so so american like. Like from the time before The Donald.
This is what we outsiders valued about the US and why we wanted to pursue the American Dream.
That dude from LA over there.
Kudos, good sir.
And good luck.
How can I like this more than once?!
Mr. Garcetti, you have my vote!
I cried
Yes
THERE IS NO MORE DROUGHT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS MAN CAN HAVE ALL OF ME!
I feel like if he ran for president the democrats could really get behind him and support him like they did with Obama. What a charismatic person
Eric Garcetti for President! I will vote for this man....hell, I will WRITE him in on my ballot.
Well spoken and with heart. I was just saying to myself well, that’s someone who I can be proud of to call my president. And then Trevor asked the question.
I would not mind him as president
I'd like to see him run for senate or president someday
At the Olympics in LA in '84, people worried about traffic. 'Twas a breeze. I don't quite know how they did that, but it worked and will again. Congratulations Los Angeles on your winning Olympic bid.
This is why I’m a Democrat. They are more educated, more compassionate and look happy
Mayor Garcetti is amazing
Inspirational!
What Mayor Garcetti is describing is called, Dual Diagnosis. A person suffers from a mental disorder and to feel normal, might resort to alcohol and/or street drugs, in turn becoming dependent upon them and now an addict with a mental disorder is born, ie Dual Diagnosis. L.A. is not giving the same attention to this increasing problem, which has been growing every year since the early 90's.
ERIC GARCETTI FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
Wow! I'm impressed. Yes, for president! This is the kind of leader the US needs in every city, state and at the national level.
Geez sounds like he's going for it. Very good talker
The US needs more politicians like Garcetti on both sides of the aisle.... really whether you are a fiscal conservative, or raging liberal, decisions and policy positions have to be made on Facts first, then compassion, and finally what do I believe.
"down tick in homelessness." San Diego recorded a similar trend, except for the fact that a local PBS reported a shelter full of people and other groups on the street were not counted. Amazing, you stop counting people you previously included, you will see a lower number. Wonder if LA has taken the same tactic. After the hep a out break last summer I would not be surprised.
WOW! Freedom from want Freedom from tyranny. And freedom to thrive WITH your community!
Mayor Garcetti is definitely on the right path. Hopefully, he will genuinely stick to his policies and ideologies.
Eric Garcetti is the best! I met him a few years ago and he was so amazing and not to mention yummy - Aside from that he's just a considerate with respect to the middle class people.
Eric Garcetti is the america I remember
Eric Garcetti 2020 #Please
Um....yea....can we have him for mayor for a little bit longer? We're barely getting things better. I'm all for having him run, but lets not take him away yet.
OMG - what a beacon of light at the end of a very very very long and dark tunnel - hope he lives up to the words expressed tonight and if so, does run for President...
Yup, kinda like this guy. He's got my vote.
Holy shit, my mayor went on The Daily Show lol
If you're working to keep rent low in Los Angeles, why did rent increase last year, and why has there been more open apartments while rent has stayed so high?
this dude gets it
Not always a fan of the Mayors policies but he did alright in this interview, hope he can do more good work
YAAAAASSS to all at 6:43
Can this guy run for president places. I see him as a president of this country someday🙏🏽
Eric Garcetti for president!
He makes me want to move to his city. Please we should make a petition for him to run for president. I think he would make a fine president.
This kid is going places
Nowhere. No one wants his puppet ass. Owned by corrupt Big Money.
ScootMagoot46 why do you say that?
Run for president!!
O my, no talk about WATER?! Mayor Garcetti, PLEASE research Clivus Waterless Toilets!
You have my fuckin vote mate
For gods sake. You might as well vote for trump then. He’s not winning all 3 Rust Belt states against trump, which is required. The guy is a Neoliberal who is Bought & Owned by Corrupt Big Money donors/owners. Ffs
ScootMagoot46 And I can assume you are “woke” to all these evils that face our country and voted for trump to stop it or something like that? Because it seems like you’re really having fun sharing around this copypasta.
I didn’t vote for trump. Although I’d take him with a Democratic Congress over this garcetti who is nothing but an articulate puppet of his big Money donors. He’s change nothing.
ScootMagoot46 Sorry what did you say there? I only allow one typo and that was saying you’re ok with trump being in office. So what was that last sentence about again?
I have to go find out Garcetti's sign because his facial expressions give away his thoughts so much. I'm going to guess Cancer is in there somewhere.
It's cute, every time he gets an applause or he knows he delivered a kick ass answer, his eyes do this thing and he struggles not to grin. It's the cute little self-satisfied squirm like his brain is screaming, "NAILED IT!" I hope he does run. I like his energy.
We love our Bought & Owned elitist politicians. Neoliberal and status-quo? Sign me up! LOL
Who are you backing?
I appreciate that you have a difference of opinion from me but in the absence of proof, it's just a little annoying that you have commented on two of my posts with almost the same comment verbatim. If you want to have a healthy discussion about a politician you feel is unhealthy for the state of California, then do so. If you just want to sound like --well, you know what you sound like--then go off, I guess. I'll be minding my business while you drown in your feelings.
Noir Jones love your response!
Have you ever seen Mr. Mayor and Ty Burrell in the same place? I never have!
