1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: And we continue at two to five in the afternoon

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: on the John Phillips Show, Mister Randy Wings in Culver City.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: John. Firefighters up and down the state of California are

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: suing the manufacturers of fire trucks because they say that

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: they're engaged in collusion and price fixing and the cost

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: of a fire truck has doubled in the last five years.

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: Worse than eggs. Huh.

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: Apparently private equity bought up all these things, so now

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: there's only three of them, and the cost to deliver

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: a fire truck has tripled, and the time to deliver

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: to time to get one has gone way through the roof.

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: One fire agency in Napa wanted to buy one that

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: was already made, it just needed to be painted, and

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: they said that'll be two years and two million dollars. Well,

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: maybe Elon Musk and Tesla need to get on that.

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: Eight hundred two five two two two is a telephone

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: number one eight hundred two to two five two two two.

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: One of the things that Gavin Newsom loves to do

19
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: is he loves to dunk on Florida and Texas. In

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom's mind, Florida and Texas are doing everything wrong,

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: and Gavin in California are.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: Doing everything right. It doesn't matter if it's tax policy,

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: if it was COVID nineteen policy, if it is social policy,

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: whatever the case, he thinks he's right, and Texas is backwards.

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: Now Downtown Los Angeles, or Boil Heights to be exact,

26
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: is on fire due to solar panels on the roof

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: that should not have been turned back on. We can't

28
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: put the fire out now, we're asking for help, Randy,

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: who are we asking for help?

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Texas had water cannons that we didn't have, and we

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 2: needed to wait for Texas to ship them to us

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: and for us to put them together in order to

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: knock out this fire that has now been burning for

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: a week. You don't say, I say for more on this,

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: on the special equipment needed to knock out this toxic

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: warehouse fire. Here is ABC seven in Los Angeles.

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: We continue our live team coverage without what as soon

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: as what a Joey Rand who has the very latest

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: on this firefight from Mayor Karen Bass.

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: We're also hearing more first hand accounts about growing health concerns.

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Joy, You're at a location now where air purifiers are

42
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: being handed out.

43
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, We've been here for several hours. Our lady of

44
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: Victory Church in East la There was a line all

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: the way down this block. As so many people have

46
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: been affected by this. Here is the crowd waiting for

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: an air purifier. They hit it out, five hundred of

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: them yesterday, another one thousand here today. The need is great,

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 4: the suffering is widespread and a lot of people need

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 4: some help day sex.

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: You imagine what that line is like, standing waiting for

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: an air purifier while you're wearing a mask.

53
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather stand out in front of a

54
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Best Buy at two am the day after Thanksgiving.

55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: Oait.

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: Now this disaster and boil Heights and the fire inside

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 4: this cold storage warehouse is still burning. Even after peeling

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 4: the siding off multiple sides of the building over the

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: last two days. Lamy or Karen Bass says, they still

60
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: have not reached the core of the fire.

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 6: They're almost there.

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: They believe that they This isn't like a wildfire where

63
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: it's spread out over you know, hundreds of miles. This

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: is what. It's a big building, but it's one building

65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: and it's on the roof. Will did we get Santa

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: Claus to just extinguish it. Well, it's no longer on

67
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: the roof. It went inside.

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: They should be.

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 6: Able to get to the core in the next few days.

70
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: They needed specialized equipment in order to do that.

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, it is so interesting, you know, we are

72
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: so prone to fire, but we don't have any of

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: the equipment that you would need to put out these

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: major fires. We don't have the water cannons to get

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: those from Texas. We don't own the super scoopers. We

76
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: leased them from Canada.

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: But Randy, we do have safety ambassadors.

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 6: The equipment came late. It actually came yesterday morning. It

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 6: came from Texas. It actually needed to be assembled, and

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 6: so they didn't put its water cannons, special water cannons

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 6: that we actually didn't have.

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: And wait a minute, it needed to be assembled. Did

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: we get it from a Dallas Ikea?

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Apparently Los Angeles. I'm sure hoping they actually looked at

85
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: the instructions, because most men that buy from Ikea just

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: try to go at solo.

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: And that's a mistake. Yep.

88
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: That's why I am not allowed to build anything from Ikea.

89
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: And so they assembled it. They started using the water

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 6: cannons last night and so.

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: As residents are why don't we have these because we

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 4: spend our money on other things like harm prevention. Forced

93
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: to wait several more days, they continued to suffer.

94
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 5: Hey, crazy, what they are?

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 7: No?

96
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: And then I have kids too, so you know it's

97
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: a little scary.

98
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 4: Carmen is eight months pregnant with her third child and

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: has been dealing with the smoke from this fire for

100
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 4: a week now.

101
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: She well, that kid's not going to have any learning disabilities.

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I was pregnant, I don't know if I

103
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: would be hanging out right next to that fire, because

104
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: you may regret that at some point in the future

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: when you turn to your adult child and you go

106
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: tell me about the three best years of your life,

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: and your kid looks you're right in the eye and goes.

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: The sixth grade.

109
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: Joined other affected residents at an air filter distribution this

110
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: afternoon at our Lady of Victory Church in East LA.

111
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 4: How concern are you about breathing in this kind of

112
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 4: air with the baby on the way.

113
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's not good for anybody. You know.

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: My grandparents live closed by two blocks on the fire,

115
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: so they evacuated two days ago. Yeah. See my first question,

116
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: why don't you go stay with your parents. Oh they

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: live here.

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I'm sure listen, I'm sure if she

119
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: knew the father, he'd be furious too.

120
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: You are making assumptions, mister Phillips. You're probably right.

121
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 8: Well, and it's not good for them for me to

122
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 8: be then.

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 4: In addition to one thousand air peer of fires handed

124
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 4: out today, Ellie County Supervisor hil To Solisa's office partnered

125
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 4: with Viacare to give health screenings.

126
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 6: Respiratory issues, so we are doing some nebulizer treatments. We're

127
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 6: also seeing a lot of headaches, irritation of eyes, the ears,

128
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 6: especially the throat.

129
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: And as the suffering and displacement continues, the mayor says

130
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: she plans to be proactive in preventing another incident like

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: this one or even worse.

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: How can you be proactive about fire when so many

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: notable fires have happened right under your watch. You have this,

134
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: you have the Palisades fire, and let's not forget who

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: was in charge when the ten freeway melted.

136
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: And we still don't have the proper equipment to fight

137
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: the fire.

138
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 6: I do want to look at now the warehouses throughout

139
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 6: the city to see whether or not there's toxic materials

140
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 6: there and another disaster waiting to.

141
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: Happen well, and toxic materials meaning what the solar panels

142
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: that are everywhere, Because this is just a refrigeration company,

143
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: it's a giant freezer.

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: And how often do we do stories about buildings in

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles that have been taken over by homeless squatters

146
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: who occasionally light them on fire or let bombs off,

147
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: occasionally tried daily.

148
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: So here are the air purifiers waiting to be headed out.

149
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: It's been a steady stream of residents. There are four

150
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: or five more pellets of those.

151
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: Jennis Han has a new measure. Hey, why don't we

152
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: stockpile a bunch of air purifiers for the next disaster.

153
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: We'll have them ready to go.

154
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Instead of making sure there isn't a

155
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: next disaster, they're just gonna get ready for it. That's

156
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: your final warning.

157
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: Those air purifiers over here, let's take a look.

158
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 5: They are ready to go, and.

159
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: There are enough people here to get all thousand of them.

160
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Now.

161
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: Mayor Bass is not the only one who is looking

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: to be proactive in this Supervisor Janie Hans says she

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: wants to explore making a stockpile an emergency stockpile of

164
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: air purifiers. In the event there's another emergency like this,

165
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: they won't have to wait days to get their hands

166
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: on them. They will have them ready to go. In

167
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: the meantime, the air is improving slightly, going from very

168
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 4: unhealthy last night to moderate.

169
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 5: That's the air.

170
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: What a disaster and she wants another four years? Huh yep.

171
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 4: Quality Index and the local Air Quality Management District says

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: that there is a particulate advisory in the air at

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: least through tomorrow. Judging on the winds and the firefight,

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 4: we look forward to continue to improve. But there are

175
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: still smoking conditions here. We can smell it. That fire

176
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: is two miles directly west from us and it is blowing.

177
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: Katie, can you smell it?

178
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: You can smell it, right, What are you hard of smelling?

179
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 5: Directly east?

180
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: We can smell it.

181
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: We can see it.

182
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: There are a lot of people suffering and they're just

183
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 4: looking for some help. Reporting live in East La Jewely Rand,

184
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: ABC seven, I witness Snooze.

185
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: There you go. It's been a week now. The disaster

186
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: continues in boil Heights as now the firefighters finally have

187
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: the equipment that they need that we didn't have. That

188
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: we had to get shipped from Texas to start fighting

189
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: this thing.

190
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: And don't forget the building where the fire is is

191
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: also a cold storage that's filled with food that is

192
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: now rotting and attracting an element that you really don't want.

193
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: The rats are coming, so you know what that means.

194
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: It means it's a Matthew cedar for pork. Here's Fox eleven.

195
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 9: Fick smoke, rotting food, and a massive warehouse far that

196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 9: has gripped boil heights for nearly a week. Fox Love

197
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 9: is Matthew Pseudo for his live with the new disasters

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 9: emerging for neighbors tonight from a rat infestation.

199
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: Even hearing that word, I can't handle it.

200
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Every aspect of this story is just disgusting.

201
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 9: It's an unbearable stench.

202
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 10: Now, Christine, conditions not improving, but the smoke is improving.

203
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 10: Firefighters still here tonight. The shifting is of there's a

204
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 10: major shift in focus. Though you can see all that

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 10: water draining down the road. The shift more focus now

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 10: on the environment.

207
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: So all those toxic chemicals are going to go into

208
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: the ocean. Huh, Like everything else, an.

209
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 10: Urgent race against time in Boyle Heights. Firefighters now gaining

210
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 10: the upper hand. I'm a giant warehouse fire that has

211
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 10: choked neighborhoods with thick smoke for almost a week.

212
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 11: I'm glad that it's calming down now.

213
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Noside of this is a smile of the rotten food now.

214
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: So that's the pot of gold at the end of

215
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: the rainbow. Huh.

216
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: You have people who are visiting here from third world

217
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: countries during the World Cup who can't wait to get

218
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: back home and tell all of their friends and family

219
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: how much better Ecuador is than.

220
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: La well An Ecuador. It doesn't smell like rotting food.

221
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 10: I'm starting to smell it now, a new thread emerging,

222
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 10: millions of pounds of frozen food trapped inside the burned

223
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 10: out building, slowly rotting.

224
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 11: We want to get this fire out as quick as

225
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 11: possible because we do have that concern about the food

226
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 11: spoiling cars.

227
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I think it already has spoiled.

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 10: Yep, you're the warehouse caked with soot, flies swarming over

229
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 10: waterlog debris, and rats from a nearby homelessen cammon, just

230
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 10: blocks from what could become an endless supply of food.

231
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: And that week, this place is a disaster.

232
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: This is just a chain reaction of awfulness.

233
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 12: I'm gonna have to try to frustrating, you know.

234
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: But most frustrating is the smell.

235
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 10: It's not just smoking.

236
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: By the way, that guy was wearing a Raider Nation shirt.

237
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Was he wearing a Raider Nation mask too?

238
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: He should have been.

239
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 10: It's also environmental concerns.

240
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 12: All that water that's funny.

241
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 10: On the fire is flooding down the road like a

242
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 10: river clogging storm drains with burnt foam.

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: We're watching the run Okay, doesn't that go directly into

244
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: the ocean? Yep?

245
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: You know what that means. Means Barbara Ferrer is gonna

246
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: send out an advisory you can't go to the beach.

247
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Boy. Things just keep getting better and better. Yep.

248
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: We're monitoring the runoff just like we're monitoring the air.

249
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: But they actually have to get pumps out here to

250
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: get the water out of the parking lot.

251
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 10: Sky Fox overhead capturing the murky runoff moving through the

252
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 10: industrial area into the La River.

253
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 11: It's definitely a different small today, like a refrigerator that's

254
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 11: been off exactly on the ground, Giant piles of charred

255
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 11: foam insulation inciding all this isn't gonna end up in

256
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 11: the ocean. Well, I understand that concern, but I do

257
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 11: want to reassure the community that the LAFD, as well

258
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 11: as our partner fire departments throughout the Southern region, I'm

259
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 11: doing everything that we can to try to mitigate this emergency.

260
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 10: Massive progress.

261
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute, let's go back and play that

262
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: question again, because the question was all of the runoff

263
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: with the toxic chemicals is going to go directly into

264
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: the ocean? Correct, yep? And his answer was we're working

265
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: with local agencies to mitigate the disaster. That wasn't a yes,

266
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: that wasn't a no, But we all know the answer

267
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: is yes.

268
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 11: Prince Small Today, like a refrigerator that's been off exactly

269
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 11: on the ground, giant piles of charred foam insulation inciting

270
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 11: all this isn't just gonna end.

271
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 13: Up in the ocean.

272
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 11: Well, I understand that concern, but I do want to

273
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 11: reassure the community that the LAFD, as well as our

274
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 11: partner fire departments throughout the Southern region. I'm doing everything

275
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 11: that we can to try to mitigate this emergency.

276
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: It's going to the ocean, everybody, Okay, do we know,

277
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: if they've closed off the oceans this weekend because the

278
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: weather is hot, I would imagine the beaches are going

279
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,359
Speaker 1: to be packed. And if they're dumping dangerous chemicals directly

280
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: into the ocean, everyone's gonna get sick.

281
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: I really gotta move acid.

282
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 10: Progress made against the flames and smoke, with the five

283
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 10: hundred thousand square foot warehouse still too dangerous for firefighters

284
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 10: to go inside.

285
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: Being able to contain the fire not to spread to

286
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: the houses or the other buildings around it, It's been

287
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: an absolute amazing job.

288
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: You know.

289
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: I'm proud of them.

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 10: Here's a live look from Skyfox. You just heard from

291
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 10: one resident that he says he's proud of the work

292
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 10: that the firefighters have been doing. Really working nonsense.

293
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Imagine how proud you'd be if they had those cannons

294
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: on day one.

295
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it may not take a week and a half

296
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: to put the fire out.

297
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 10: Stop to put out this fire as quickly as they can.

298
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 10: You can see all the debris still out there. The

299
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 10: concern now with the environment. Firefighters hope to have this

300
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 10: fire knocked down by as early as tomorrow, but they

301
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 10: say the smoke could linger for a number of days.

302
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: We live I mean like when people are out running

303
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: a five k.

304
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 7: Boy.

305
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: We always win the lottery in life, don't.

306
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: We just having the best luck?

Speaker 2: that is now be happening because of this warehouse fire,

310
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: including toxic chemicals and foam going to the ocean and

311
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: the rat swarming the building for all the rotted food.

312
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of environmental disasters, Randy, we have an update

313

314
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 13: You can smell right here.

315
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: We're seeing tiny, tiny, tiny aspects of progress, but it's

316
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: not nearly enough. For mar on the Tijuana River Johnny's

317

Speaker 8: The state of California and the County of San Diego

319
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 8: are taking small steps forward fighting the sewage crisis along

320
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 8: our border. In BC seven, South Bay, reporter Joe Little

321
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 8: shows us how the steps are in the right direction,

322
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 8: but they just aren't big enough quite yet.

323
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 14: It's amazing, after all these years, how we are still

324
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 14: talking about the raw sewage in the Tijuana River. Now

325
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 14: we're nickel and diming the problem as opposed to throwing

326
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 14: everything at this right.

327
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: Now, there's so much foam on the water it looks

328
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: like a bubble bath, but it's not soap. It's toxic foam.

329
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 5: As the nasty foam floats down river.

330
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: We're the most environmentally conscious state in the Union. Huh.

331
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: Every story today is about some kind of environmental disaster

332
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: that's going to give us all cancer. YEP.

333
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: Through San Diego County and out to our beaches, visitors

334
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 5: are still greeted with sewage and chemical contaminated water.

335
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 2: You know, I'm starting to understand why the Pacific Ocean

336
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: in California is brown and the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii

337
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: is blue.

338
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: And what's funny is everyone that runs for state office

339
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: here runs as an environmentalist, and they all win and

340
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: they let this happen.

341
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 15: About forty million gallons of sewage flows, industrial waste, residential waste,

342
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 15: chemicals packages, heavy metals being airsolized into the air on

343
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 15: a daily basis.

344
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 5: The air.

345
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: It's just so unacceptable, and it's been going on for

346
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: decades and no one gives a damn Sure filled.

347
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 5: With hydrogen sulfide every day. Some days are worse.

348
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 15: You can't escape the odors.

349
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: This is Plumba Gary, the San San Diego County supervisor

350
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: that invited Katie to go to the river.

351
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 10: Who can's not right here?

352
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: I wonder if she's regretting that.

353
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 5: Supervisor. Plumba Gary testified in Sacramento Monday to support a

354
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 5: new bill by State Senator Steve Adia that would develop

355
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 5: standards to help combat the polluted air, which is a

356
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: byproduct of the polluted water from Mexico splashing and aerosolizing

357
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 5: in the river.

358
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Monitoring procedures are inefficient.

359
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: The crazy thing is there are no standards because no

360
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: area has ever had to deal with this much dangerous

361
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 5: gas in the air.

362
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: Nobody strike a match.

363
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 5: The amount of gas kicked off from this spot south

364
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 5: of Imperial Beach is sometimes forty five hundred times worse

365
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 5: than acceptable levels.

366
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: How is this not like international news every single day?

367
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: How is this just relegated to local San Diego news

368
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: to cover This is a huge environmental disaster happening on

369
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: a daily basis. Yeah, where's that Savannah Guthrie when you

370
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: need her?

371
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 15: Trying to build a plane as we fly it? Right,

372
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 15: we have never no other community is exposed to this

373
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 15: amount of gases.

374
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 5: Gary says, construction should begin next year to correct the

375
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: splashing in this hotspot. At the same time, Governor Gavin

376
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 5: Newsom announced.

377
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Forty ky Why are we spending time and money trying

378
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: to prevent the splashing instead of, oh, I don't know,

379
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Mexico dumping their raw sewage directly into the river.

380
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: Billion dollars in state funds are headed our way to

381
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 5: help with the crisis. Supervisor Gary says, voters approved that

382
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: money back in twenty twenty four.

383
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about this yet another Gavin Newsom empty promise.

384
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom says forty six million dollars is going to

385
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: solve this crisis. That money was approved two years ago

386
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: and they haven't seen it yet. Seems like it's on

387
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 2: brand for Gavin.

388
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 15: Been working with assembly Member over Is to ensure that

389
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 15: that money makes its way faster.

390
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: It's already been two years. I don't think that money's

391
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: coming anytime soon. So for quite the near future.

392
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,640

Speaker 2: We are eventually evolving this show into not just broadcasting

Speaker 2: on the radio every single day in southern California on

404
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,639

Speaker 2: weekends on the Big KMJ. We're also on the podcast.

406
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: We're also live radio streaming. We're adding live video streaming

407
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 2: on the website, on YouTube, on Twitter, and Facebook as

408
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: soon as we get it working.

409
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: We've had a few Kinks.

410
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: And not those kind of kinks.

411
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: More Kinks and Glenn Greenwald.

412
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: We're working on it and hopefully we'll have it ready

413
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: to go on July first.

414
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: Not more Kinks and Danny Thomas though. No.

415
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: We're also going to do a standalone podcast that we

416
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: shouldn't have any issues with. In fact, the feed just

417
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: went up. As soon as I see it available on

418
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: like Apple podcasts and other places that you can get

436
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 13: Hello, Yeah, good, good afternoon, gentlemen. Since we're on the

437
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 13: subject of fires and how we are trying to put

438
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 13: them out, get a load of this. They want to

439
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 13: tear down the dam at Lake Pillsbury, which is an

440
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 13: excellent source of water for fighting wildfires. These idiots, I

441
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 13: can't believe it. It's gonna cost four hundred million dollars to

442
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 13: tear it down. And guess who's gonna pay for it.

443
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 13: This dam is owned by Pgene and they want to

444
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 13: get they want to get rid of it. They're gonna

445
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 13: send the taxpayers and PGEN rate payers the bill. I

446
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 13: can't believe it. They've already torn down two other dams

447
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 13: on the Klamath. Now they want to tear down this

448
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 13: one on the Eel River. A bunch of bozos, the

449
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 13: Lake Pillsbury, the residents, they're they're putting out a million

450
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 13: dollars worth of tax revenue the Lake County. Lake County's

451
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 13: gonna lose it.

452
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, every day I wake up and I feel

453
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: like I'm going to open up my phone, open up

454
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: the newspaper, and play the game. What did these idiots

455
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: do now?

456
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 13: I don't know. They they're gonna have to remove the

457
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 13: sediment behind this dam, which happens to be somewhat toxic.

458
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 13: What are they gonna do with it? I there's a

459
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 13: big fight going on right now. There's Potter Valley up there.

460
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 13: Required they need the water to for their agg businesses

461
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 13: up there. They're not gonna have any more water. And

462
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 13: this water travels down to Lakeman to Mendocino County, Sonoma County,

463
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 13: and even as far as Marin County. This is this

464
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 13: is ludicrous, all because they want to get access for

465
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 13: the salmon to go upstream. Can't believe it. Let's just

466
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 13: tear down a perfect reservoir for fighting fires and for recreation. Okay, yeah,

467
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 13: well I can guarantee you right now it's gonna cost

468
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 13: more money to fight a while. How far than it

469
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 13: is to re fit that dam and make it work, right,

470
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 13: Degene with getting electricity from this dam. It was actually

471
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 13: a hydro electric dam, but they don't want to maintain

472
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 13: it anymore. Brilliant, Okay, goodbye.

473
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, sir. Let's go

474
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: to Robin Encino. Rob.

475
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey, So this morning I awoke to the news

476
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 7: that the wonderful Chu Chu people are advocating a temporary

477
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 7: station north of seventh Standard Road, about five miles northwest

478
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 7: of the original downtown Bakersfield spot. It's meant to get

479
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 7: trains running by twenty thirty three without waiting on the

480
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 7: full downtown connection, which needs more funding. What do you

481
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 7: guys know of this new development with the Chuo Chu.

482
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: Well, my take is whatever they say, it's going to

483
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: cost you better figure that in bananas, because apes will

484
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: be controlling the world by the time they get that done.

485
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 7: Well, John, if I'm lucky, i'll be eighty three in

486
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 7: twenty thirty three. And I don't think so. I mean,

487
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 7: I just don't think i'll ever get to see the

488
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 7: chutube run.

489
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 12: It's very depressing.

490
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: Well, you might make it to eighty three if you

491
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: stay away from the Tiawana River.

492
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 16: Scam.

493
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 12: I'll do that, buddy, Thank you very much.

494
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call.

495
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: Do you remember last year that propaganda video we played

496
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: of the high speed rail at some fair in Sacramento

497
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: and this old guy with his pet parrot is like,

498
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: I love riding trains, and so does my parent, and

499
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: the voiceovers like, and we can't wait for Pete the

500
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: parrot to ride that thing too. That parrot's going to

501
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: be so dead, parrot's going to be taxidermy. Maybe that's

502
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 2: how he'll write it.

503
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark and Walnut Creek. Mark.

504
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 16: Hello, hey, John, thanks for taking the call. Yeah, you

505
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 16: know your guests earlier here. I think took a lot

506
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 16: of the points and things that I wanted to make.

507
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 16: I think she was spot on. But you know, I

508
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 16: am deeply concerned, and I think it's kind of obvious

509
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 16: for those of us, and I think many of us

510
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 16: have been watching this socialism communism infiltrate our academia over

511
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 16: several decades now, really, but it's reached this critical point.

512
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 16: I think when you it's almost similar in the way

513
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 16: I look at it as why Trump got elected. There

514
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 16: was a vacuum that was created because of the feeling

515
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 16: of what was going on with our borders and crime

516
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 16: and all that, and we've done the same thing here. Unfortunately,

517
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 16: the Republican Party has yet to come up and articulate

518
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 16: clearly a response to the affordability issues that are going on,

519
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 16: in particular for the youth and the people that just

520
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 16: don't feel like they're part of the American dream into

521
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 16: achieve it anymore. So, you know, I'm deeply concerned about this.

522
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 16: I don't know what the answer is on a very simplistic,

523
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 16: I guess approach, it's that we have to come up

524
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 16: with some solutions on this, and it has to start

525
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 16: happening at the state and local level, which concerns me

526
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 16: even more because at the federal level we may have

527
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 16: some shot at it before. I'll tell you California, New York.

528
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 16: It's no surprise that it's happening in these areas, primarily

529
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 16: initially because that's where the affordability is saw out of black.

530
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 16: So I wanted to add my voice to this. I'm

531
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 16: hoping that we can work our way through this because

532
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 16: I am deeply concerned, as I think most of us

533
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 16: are for the country.

534
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for the call. I appreciate that, and

535
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: that is a point that many people have made to

536
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: me throughout the years that the Republican Party in California

537
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: needs to communicate with the population better, and if they

538
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: only communicated with the population better, they would win elections.

539
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Here is why I think that's wrong. I think that Conservatives, Republicans,

540
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: people who are right of center, punch above their weight

541
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: in terms of communication. Just think about this election for

542
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: governor right now. Look at the Republican who made it

543
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: on the November ballot. It's Steve Hilton. What is his background?

544
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: His professional background? He comes from the Fox News Channel,

545
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: where he hosted his own television show for many years,

546
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: where he delivered monologues where he interviewed guests where he

547
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: gave his opinion on the issues of the day. This

548
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: guy gives a slick interview. He's a smart, thoughtful guy

549
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: who's been reading about these subjects, writing about these subjects,

550
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: and speaking about these subjects for years and years and years.

551
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: I would regard him as being a very good communicator.

552
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: You go back to the recall election of Avenusom, which

553
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: Republican running did the best. It was Larry Elder. What

554
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: is Larry's background? Larry has been on the radio and

555
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: on television for decades. You're not going to find a

556
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: better debater, a better communicator, a better writer than Larry Elder.

557
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: If you didn't vote for Larry Elder, it's not because

558
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: you don't know where he stands on the issues, or

559
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: he didn't give a coherent argument for whatever position it

560
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: is that he's taking. You didn't vote for Larry Elder

561
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: because you just fundamentally disagree with him. The problem that

562
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Republicans have in California is that there are more of

563
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: them than there are of us, by a long shot.

564
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: And the better we are at communicating what we think,

565
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: the more they know they don't buy into it. That's

566
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: the problem. We have hemorrhaged Republicans to other states for

567
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: many many many years. It's probably true that Texas has

568
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: gotten more conservative because of the population loss of California.

569
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: The same is probably true for Nevada and Arizona and

570
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: other states as well. We don't have dominant Republican industries

571
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: in the state anymore. We used to. We had the

572
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: oil industry, we had the military, we had aerospace, we

573
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: had the railroads. We don't have any of that anymore.

574
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: We had Hollywood that has left or it's a shell

575
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: of itself. We have Silicon Valley, which attracts liberal minded

576
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: people to the Bay Area, but we don't have any

577
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: dominant Republican industries outside of say agriculture. So yes, the

578
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Central Valley, i guess, is getting more conservative than how

579
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: it used to be in the old days. But that's

580
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: about it. Orange County is more liberal. La County is

581
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: more liberal. San Diego County, the Central Coast, the Bay Area,

582
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: you name it. All of the population centers have shifted

583
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: to the left. We need new industries that will attract

584
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Republicans to want to live in California, whether it is

585
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: in tech or some other industry. Altogether, we need Republicans

586
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: to want to live in California, to move here the

587
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: ones who are here to stay in the state and

588
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: run their businesses here and raise their families here and

589
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: vote here. And the problem that the California Republican Party

590
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: has had is that people vote with their feet before

591
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: they vote at the ballot box. If you feel hopeless,

592
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: if you feel like it's never going to get better,

593
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: if you feel like you have a limited time on

594
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: this planet, so why live in a place that makes

595
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: you angry when you can live in a place where

596
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: you're happy. We're losing those people, and we need to

597
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: figure out how to stop that from happening so we

598
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: can win some elections. If that doesn't stop happening, the

599
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: other side is going to outnumber us and outvote us

600
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: every time there's an election. Thank you for the call.

601
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: It's the John Phillips Show. It's the John Phillips Show.

607
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joseph in La Joseph, Hello.

608
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 12: Hi, uh you know, these politicians always talking about affordability.

609
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 12: Yet you know, between the federal taxes UH and other

610
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 12: you know, state taxes and whatnot, you're paying thirty five

611
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 12: percent up of what you earn. And then no matter

612
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 12: where you live, you're paying a property tax where you

613
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 12: rent or you own, because it's built into it, and

614
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 12: so you're paying another five to ten percent or where

615
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 12: you live in taxes. And then you know, gasoline tax,

616
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 12: DMV fees, all these other things start adding up. And

617
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 12: then you pay a ten percent sales tax on everything

618
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 12: you buy. And then of course you have this mandated

619
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 12: super super expensive insurance to subsize people that don't have insurance.

620
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 12: And then if you look at every single product you buy,

621
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 12: you know that companies have to pay a property tax,

622
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 12: they're paying taxes on fuel to transport it, all the

623
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 12: employees have to pay, you know, their income tax, and

624
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 12: that's all built into the product. So when you look

625
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 12: at it, about sixty percent of what you earn goes

626
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 12: to taxes. You know, whether it's you're paying it directly

627
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 12: or it's buried into the products and services that you're getting.

628
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 12: So majority of what we're doing is all in taxes.

629
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 12: If they would reduce taxes to regulations that would make

630
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 12: things a lot more affordable.

631
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: Well, and I think that that would be the framing

632
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: for the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, should their initiative go

633
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: on the November ballot. I would not make it a

634
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: philosophical argument about the role of government in your daily life.

635
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: I would simply say, if you want the cost of

636
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: housing to go up, vote no. If you want the

637
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: cost of housing to go down, vote yes. And let's

638
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: keep those property taxes in check.

639
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 12: Yes, we got to. I mean the government wastes, you know,

640
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 12: our tax dollars. They don't spend it efficiently and correctly,

641
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 12: so we need to take it out of their hands.

642
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: All right. Thank you for the call, sir. We appreciate it. Randy,

643
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: you're monitoring the mailbag.

644
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: Dan writes in at Johnny don't like show at gmail

645
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: dot com. Hey, John and Randy. I've lived in Oceanside,

646
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 2: San Diego, North County since nineteen eighty eight. Even then,

647
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: there was a joke that goes as follows, if you

648
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: want to smuggle something to the US from Tijuana, just

649
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: flush it down to Tijuana toilet and pick it up

650
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: at Imperial Beach. The next day.

651
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to LA Mayor Karen Bass,

652
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: who is claiming that she has a deal with the

653
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association to pull their initiative from the

654
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: November ballot. Karen Bass said that in a sit down

655
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: with Conan Noan at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

656
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: For what else she said at that luncheon, here's a

657
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: report from NBCLA and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Please put

00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: light of the World Cup and LA twenty eight.

664
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: Wait, Colleen did it too, It's spreads. Nobody pronounces the

Speaker 3: this in Hollywood with more on what happened there today, Camilla.

668
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 8: Hi Colleade. Mayor Bass doubled down on her vision to

669
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 8: revitalize Hollywood, focusing on public safety and reducing homelessness. We

670
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 8: also heard from the president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce,

671
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 8: who talked about out he sees Hollywood as a global brand.

672
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 8: Mayor Karen Bass taking the stage today at the Hollywood

673
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 8: Chamber of Commerce Annual Luncheon, moderated by NBC Force Conan

674
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 8: Nolan in.

675
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 5: Washington, they call it a deep state.

676
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: Well, this is sort of a deep city.

677
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 17: And you, you may be the mayor, but getting getting

678
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 17: the permit applications, getting the bureaucracy to change, that's that's

679
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 17: a that's a heavier lift than you thought.

680
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 13: Oh.

681
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 6: Absolutely, the reason.

682
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 18: Absolutely absolutely, Well, she's channeling Chang on a variety Shang

683
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 18: on a variety of levels here, not just the absolutely,

684
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,479
Speaker 18: but the bureaucracy is real.

685
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: The bureaucracy is real existence.

686
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 6: I feel like the city sometimes is run like a

687
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 6: small town. We do not rise to the stature of

688
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 6: the second largest city.

689
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 2: The conversation, you're in charge, Yeah, can't you change that.

690
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: You've been in charge for four years now.

691
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 8: So you should focus on a variety of issues from

692
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 8: public safety, housing, and homelessness.

693
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 6: And made a point of essentially a limit encampments on

694
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 6: the major streets because I mean, I was horrified tourists.

695
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 6: We want tourists to come, We want Hollywood to be revitalized.

696
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's no encampments in Hollywood Boulevard.

697
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: What who is she trying? A kid?

698
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 6: That cannot happen as long as it's filled with tents.

699
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 17: Where are we in terms of staffing, hiring and budget

700
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 17: for LAPD Well, what we.

701
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 6: Budgeted this year is about attrition.

702
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 10: Now.

703
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 6: You know, when I came in, my goal was ninety

704
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 6: five hundred. It's still my goal.

705
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: Two questions, and we're about eighty three hundred.

706
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: And you've been there for four years.

707
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: I mean, the whole state's going through a police staffing shortage.

708
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: But it's not very attractive to work in the city

709
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles, I'll tell you that no.

710
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: And part of the reason is because of people like her.

711
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Why would you be a cop in a big city

712
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: where you know the mayor is going to throw you

713
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: under the bus the first opportunity they have, you.

714
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: Know, who's probably not having staffing crisis. El Segundo PD.

715
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: I think you're correct. All right, that's gonna do it

716
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: for us today, But we'll be back tomorrow at noon

717
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: for another edition of The John Phillips Show
