“Yeah, well, Charlie's saying his hi's here. I want to tell you a quick Charlie Payne story. So I've been here a lot of years, and there are people that fortunately or unfortunately become my go-to people. You know, David Garcia, I go to him on all kinds of things, and David takes care of stuff that's not even in his area. Nathan Mustafa. Well, Charlie Payne became my go-to guy for public safety. And earlier this year, he was going to have to help me. It may have been May or April. I had a problem, and it's like, I don't know, 8 o'clock at night, and I call Charlie, and Charlie picks up the…”

“Yeah, the one thing that wasn't mentioned that we the proud members of the older generation remember is fighting over the encyclopedia Britannica when we all needed to get the damn T or S volume and everybody else had it and we would try to do things. You remember those days. So that was another thing we did at the library. We spent a lot of time there and it was a babysitting thing at times. So thanks.”

“Thank you. Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem. I knew Jazz Patel before I knew Jazz Patel. And that's because I have friends in Corona, in Norco, in Western Riverside, that when we would have events, I might ask where they got it. And they went to Jazz's in Corona. It just kept happening. And when I met him, I said, oh, you're Jazz. I've heard so much about you over the years. And then I started getting calls from two of the council members in Corona. They called me before I even could call them. And one of them was extremely upset that Jazz was coming to Riverside because they wanted to try to keep…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Unfortunately, I couldn't be at that ceremony with our police department because I was with our director, Michelle Davis, and I'm not going to say what I was doing because I think she's going to probably talk about it in a few minutes. So that was a great day with Michelle and her team, though. And just one more thing. We're not going to see you until after September 11th. This is the 25th anniversary on September 11th. of the murder of 2,977 innocent souls. Take a moment on that day. Remember them. Remember the families that are left behind and just say a quick prayer for…”

“Michelle, thank you to you and your very diverse staff for all the work you do on this very difficult issue. There's been homeless hell since the Egyptians built the pyramids. Everyone says we're going to solve it. It's a very difficult issue. If it wasn't difficult, we would have solved it by now. But you guys do a good job answering all these issues. And I think what is great about your presentation, we all hear every day about the homeless. And people will yell at us, you're not doing a damn thing for the homeless issue. They have no idea what your people are out there doing every day with…”

“I WANT TO TRIPLE DOWN ON WHAT MY TWO COLLEAGUES TALKED ABOUT. WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT STORY ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THAT CHURCH, I WAS FLOORED BY IT. I HAVE PASSED THAT STORY ON TO PROBABLY 35 or 40 people in town, including our church, and they want to get involved. They want to do that. I was going to talk to you, and this is perfect timing. I'd like to bring Jason up for the Inland Empire Forum and let him talk about how to do it. You're bringing pride back to a person. Even the money they earn, because they were earning $20 a day, even if they spent that on a pack of cigarettes... They…”
