So that's kind of the short 260 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 11: answer that we're able to evacuate what we can out 261 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 11: of the system, but ultimately pipelines need to be cleaned 262 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 11: or they need to be replaced at Once. 263 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: Again, I was standing in front of the big gaping 264 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: hole in West Hollywood. 265 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: It has been disaster after disaster after disaster after disaster 266 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: in just the last couple of weeks up and down 267 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: the state of California, and apparently this is a regular 268 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: thing that happens Insane Helena. 269 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: What the hell? Where was it? We did a story 270 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: that was similar to this not long ago, where the 271 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: water was brown and the public health experts came in 272 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: and said, even though it's brown, it's still perfectly safe 273 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: to drink, So go ahead and drink it, bathe in it, 274 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: use it to cook in, enjoy it. 275 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure that was Saint 276 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: Helena a few months ago. 277 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't think the water was that brown, though this 278 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: looks like a Guinness. At what point can we have 279 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: some kind of recourse against these public health officials who 280 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: came out come out and say things that we know 281 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: are not true. But they come out in the middle 282 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: of a crisis, when people are trying to figure out 283 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: what to do. They come in with the worst advice imaginable. 284 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: They wear the white lab coat, they go on TV, 285 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: everyone kisses their ass, and then they tell you to 286 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: do something that's gonna give you cancer. 287 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: Well, and it's another example of one of the reasons 288 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: this keeps happening in Saint Helena is because of the 289 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: aged infrastructure, pipes that are well past their usefulness, where 290 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: the rust gets into the pipes and now the water 291 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: is getting soaked into the rust. It's happening all the time, 292 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: and there seems to be a complete lack of investment 293 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: in re upping our old, aged out of service infrastructure 294 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: until the worst happens. And that is just not a 295 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: way to run a state. 296 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: If they were to cut off all of these organizations 297 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: that profit from the bums and just take that money 298 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: and spend it on new pipes, spend it on new infrastructure, 299 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have these problems. Because we waste so much 300 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: money millions and millions and millions of dollars at various 301 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: levels of government on the bums. The problem just gets worse, 302 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: and we're not spending the money on what we need 303 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: to be spending it on, which is our old infrastructure. 304 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: We have a budget of three hundred and fifty billion dollars. 305 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: We have the fourth largest economy in the world. How 306 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: does it make any sense that we have any pipe 307 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: in this state that is over one hundred years old. 308 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: And all of these people that run the state claim 309 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: to be environmentalists, Yet the Tiawana River is the most 310 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: polluted river in North America. No one cares. We have 311 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: an environmental disaster going on in Boil Heights right now, 312 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: and instead of getting all of them out of there, 313 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: they show up and tell them breathe in the chemical smoke. 314 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: It's perfectly fine. 315 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 13: There is no substitute to standing here and smelling it 316 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 13: and your self. 317 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: And now in Napa County the water looks like beer. 318 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: It's stating everyone's clothes and they're being told there's nothing 319 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: wrong with it. 320 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what disasters we have to 321 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: report on today's and tomorrow's show, because it's something new 322 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: every single day.

I just put a 360 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: link in the chat right now. 361 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones and welcome Mike 362 00:19:51,920 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: and San Jose. Mike, Hello, Mike, Mike. 363 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 7: Water Hello, Hi there, Yep, it's a connection. 364 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: Okay, now, yeah, go ahead. 365 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 7: Just wanted to call in with a quick rundown on 366 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 7: water lines. I used to do a remote camera video 367 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 7: inspections and a lot of them, these older ones are 368 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 7: ductyl iron, but they get a coating of calcium. They 369 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 7: look like barnacles on a ship. The coating is still 370 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 7: thick and that's what keeps them good for seventy five 371 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 7: one hundred years. But when they do start the leak, 372 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 7: they actually take redwood spikes and pound them into the holes, 373 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 7: and when the redwood swells, that's what stops the leak. Now, 374 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 7: you can repair these pipes by just lining them with 375 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 7: a sleeve, which you have to go in and cut 376 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 7: every one of those spikes, and that's why we would 377 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 7: run cameras through them to look okate every repair. But 378 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 7: these cities don't need to dig up the whole pipe. 379 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 7: All they do is they line them with a plastic 380 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 7: sleeve and it's very cost effective. 381 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: What do you make of the water in Napa County 382 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: being the color of beer? 383 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 7: Well, see, we would use the same cameras for storm drains, 384 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 7: sewers and water lines where we do a full bleach sterilization, 385 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 7: and once we did the inspection, they would flush it 386 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 7: just like they're doing up there with the huge amounts 387 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 7: of water to flush out any contaminants. The reason anyone 388 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 7: who has galvanized pipes in their home, they're older, turn 389 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 7: the water on. It runs brown for a little while 390 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 7: and then it clears up. That's what's going on up 391 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 7: or must be what's going on up there, is you 392 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 7: just have the corrosion and they've stirred it up and 393 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 7: now they're having to wash it out. And I'm surprised 394 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 7: that big flush that they did hasn't cleared it out yet. 395 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 7: But what they do is run cameras through and take 396 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 7: a look at the conditions of those pipes. 397 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: Do you think cities spend nearly enough on their infrastructure 398 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: in California? 399 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 7: Oh? Hell none. No, it goes to I mean, I 400 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 7: have friends that are still involved in the municipalities. I 401 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 7: wish I could make as much as they do. They 402 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 7: are set for life. It's huge union salaries and deferred maintenance, 403 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 7: and unfortunately they wait till these breaks happen, and waterlines 404 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 7: are not as easy to inspect as sewers and storm draine. Actually, 405 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 7: you don't have all the access points that you do 406 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 7: in the wastewater systems, but it is something that they 407 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 7: can do, and it's something maybe every twenty years you 408 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 7: run cameras through and start documenting the maintenance needs. 409 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 1: All right, thank you for the call, sir, I appreciate it. 410 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: And you know, Randy, I believe every word that caller 411 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: just said. And there's no place out there on planet 412 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: Earth who needs a colonoscopy more than the city of La. 413 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: You don't want to see what kind of polyps we have. 414 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: Let's go to John in La John. 415 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 12: Hello, Hey guys, sorry you Happy hump day. 416 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: Happy hump day to you. Happy wool Wednesday. 417 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 12: I was saying, Randy, how's it going over there in Canada? 418 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: It's great? Eh? 419 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 7: Whoa Yeah. 420 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 12: So you guys brought up last week Katie Porter's new venture. 421 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 12: She's becoming apparently a book influencer. So I went on 422 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 12: her socials to confirm it, and sure enough, her quote 423 00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 12: is Katie Porter turns the page to discuss shit ship. 424 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 12: That's her whole thing. And the reason why she failed, 425 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 12: in my opinion, is because she ran on this whole 426 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 12: mantra of being an angry soccer mom. Now that may 427 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 12: work for her district or her former district in Orange 428 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 12: County Laguna Beach, well that's all there is is soccer 429 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 12: moms who don't do anything all day. But for people 430 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 12: here in LA and California, like in and around, especially 431 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 12: Koreatown area, that have to live in and around with 432 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 12: all the homeless people, that kind of angry soccer mom 433 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 12: stuff isn't gonna run. I don't know if you guys 434 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 12: remember a little while ago, this is about like six 435 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 12: years ago, she went to Congress and she brought her 436 00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 12: whiteboard and in her lame attempt to try to humiliate 437 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 12: Jamie Diamond, the CEO of JP Morgan at the time, 438 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 12: She just went in there. She wanted to clob or him. 439 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 12: So I think that's how she put her name on 440 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 12: the map, because before that, nobody knew who the hell 441 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 12: she was. So there was a reporter that asked her, ma'am, 442 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 12: what type of margin do you think you'll need in 443 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 12: California to win those people that vote for Trump here 444 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 12: in California? And it's one of the East's questions in politics. 445 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 12: It's actually so easy and actually what would have benefited her? 446 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 12: She would have answered it the right way because this 447 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 12: is a type of question that allows you to pivot 448 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 12: and it gives you the ability to redirect. You know, 449 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 12: you can go anywhere with that question you can answer. 450 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 12: You could be like, yeah, well, I'm glad you brought 451 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 12: that up. What a great looking question, John. 452 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: Can you do about eighteen more minutes? Then John and 453 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 2: I can go to happy hours? 454 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, I want to go back to this. 455 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: I want to go back to this social media page 456 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: that you looked at. Does she say what books will 457 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: be included in her book group? Because I'm picturing something 458 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: with Fabio on the cover. 459 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, I didn't even bother would I probably would have yacked. 460 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 12: I just had lunch, So I didn't want to be 461 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 12: grossed though, But yeah, I'm sure something like Fabio would 462 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 12: be on there for sure. 463 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: All Right, thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Yeah, 464 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: maybe some Danielle Steele novels. 465 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,479 Speaker 2: You know, this show goes by real fast and then 466 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 2: all of a sudden it doesn't. 467 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to Leslie one thousand Oaks, Leslie. Hello. 468 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 14: I wanted to bring up a point that's been on 469 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 14: my mind the last couple of days. I heard that 470 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 14: Nitya Rahman had sixty million dollars allocated for homeless program 471 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 14: and only three families. 472 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 12: Were actually placed. 473 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 14: So why can't some of that sixty million dollars go 474 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 14: to at least putting the people in Boil Heights in 475 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 14: temporary housing. Why are we giving all the money to 476 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 14: people who want to live on the streets where you 477 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 14: have these poor families suffering. 478 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: Well, it's even worse than that, because the money that's 479 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: supposed to be going to the people in Boyle Heights 480 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: really isn't. It's going to the same NGOs who are 481 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: claiming that they're going to use the money to help them. 482 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: But the people a Boile Heights are saying they're getting 483 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: no help at all. 484 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 14: Yeah, I know. And it's absolutely shameful that the people 485 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 14: who are hardworking, probably lower income citizens that are just 486 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 14: trying to survive, are living in squalor, you know, and 487 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 14: they're being forced to stay because they really don't have 488 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 14: any options. 489 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: Yep. And the only thing saying that the government knows 490 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: how to do at the city level, the county level, 491 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: the state level, is to continue to funnel money to 492 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: these NGOs that are politically connected. They did it with 493 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: the fire victims, they do it with the homeless. This 494 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: is what they do over and over and over again. 495 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter how much evidence is out there 496 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: that these groups steal the money or waste the money 497 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: or don't spend it on the right things, and the 498 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: government doesn't care. Those are the groups who get the money. 499 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: And I see, I don't see them changing what they're 500 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: doing anytime soon. Thank you for the call. I appreciate 501 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: it all right. Gavin Newsom just had a press event 502 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: where he patted himself on the back for being super 503 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: prepared for fires, despite the fact that in California the 504 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades burned down because the government did just about 505 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: everything wrong. But Gavin doesn't want the people Iowa to 506 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: know that. 507 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: Gavin says, we're spending more money on this than we 508 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: ever had before, and just look at the results. For more. 509 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: Here is Fox forty in Sacramento. 510 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 15: In of the news. It's another day of summer heat, 511 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 15: temperatures reaching one hundred degrees across much of the Sacramento region. 512 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: And with that hot how would you like to be 513 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 2: the West Sacramento as. 514 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 15: Utter dryer weather well, the threat of wildfires increases today. 515 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 15: Governor Gavin Newsom showed off some of the technology California 516 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 15: is counting on to spot and fight those fires, but 517 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 15: Republicans say the state still needs to do more. Fox 518 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 15: forty Capital reporter Aton Wallace was with the governor at 519 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 15: McClellan Park near Sacramento and shows us what's new, unprecedented 520 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 15: investments Governor Gavin Newsom. 521 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 2: It is every Gavin Newsom press you've ever heard. We've 522 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: spent so much money. 523 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: That's always the metric of success for him, not if 524 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: they're fixing the problem, but how many p have they created, 525 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: how much money have they spent, how many people have 526 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: they hired? 527 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 13: Inside a hangar at the Sacramento McClellan Airpark, where the 528 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 13: state keeps its fleet of CalFire air support. The governor 529 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 13: showcasing some of Calfire's newest assets to prepare for and 530 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 13: fight wildfires, all as the state enters peak summer. 531 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 8: The impacts, we're feeling the heat. 532 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 13: It comes just over a year and a half since 533 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 13: the deadly and destructive Palisades and Eaten fires, in just 534 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 13: a few years since other deadly fires ravaged communities in 535 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 13: northern California. 536 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: And by the way, now that we're at the eighteen 537 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: month mark for the Palisades and the Eaten fire, that 538 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 2: money that Gavin promised to the fire victims that was 539 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: allocated by the legislature but then was never spent. That 540 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 2: we found out thanks to some great reporting from Eric 541 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: Leonard at NBC four, it returned to the state budget 542 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 2: without ever going to the fire victims. 543 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: Well, and let's not forget about Fire Raid, where that 544 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: money went to all of these organizations that would not 545 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: even turn the calls in many cases of the fire victims. 546 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: When Newsom was asked about that, he goes, well, I'm 547 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: not in charge of that. Don't blame me. 548 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 8: We believe in science, but we also believe in our 549 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 8: own eyes. I'm continue to remind people, and not just 550 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 8: in you know, folks up there in Paradise, but Grizzly 551 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 8: Fats Greenville. 552 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: Wait, all three of those fires were started by PG 553 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: and E. 554 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: His benefactor. 555 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 8: The place is wiped off the map, lifestyles, traditions impacted. 556 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 13: But the governor believes with new and improved technology, the 557 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 13: state will better prepare for and fight fires in the future. Included, 558 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 13: he says, drones to help map out fire zones and hotspots. 559 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: What technology do we need to tell the state parks 560 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: people to stop telling the LAFD what they can and 561 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 2: can't doze in a fire. That's something that kind of 562 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: gets lost in all of the noise. But I could 563 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: make an argument that the Pacific policy was actually Gavin's fault, 564 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: because if the LAFD was allowed to fully extinguish that 565 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 2: original fire, there would have been no Pacific Palisades fire. 566 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 2: But it was Gavin and the state that stepped in 567 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: and prevented them from doing that. SHANGI, you were right 568 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: all along, my girl. The baraucracy is real. 569 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 13: He also discussed a plan to add C one thirty 570 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 13: aircraft to a cal fire fleet. That already includes seventeen 571 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 13: nighttime capable firefighting Firehawk helicopters and other aircraft equipped with 572 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 13: what's known as the Fire Integrated Real Time Intelligence System, 573 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 13: also known as FIGHT. 574 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: Why does everything need to be an acronym? Politicians are 575 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: obsessed with acronyms. 576 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 13: HARUS, a technology designed to help generate a real time 577 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 13: model of fire growth that, according to first responders, helps 578 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 13: them determine just which resources to dedicate to any given wildfire. 579 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 13: Guy threw Some also notes three new satellites recently launched 580 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 13: from Vandenberg Space Force based on the Central Coast to 581 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 13: detect fires statewide before they can grow. 582 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: All right, the firefighters have starlink. 583 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: You know, they're acting as if we don't know when 584 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: the fires are going on. Go back to Karen Bass, 585 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: who claimed that she had no clue that there was 586 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: going to be heavy winds in southern California with extreme 587 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: fire risk. 588 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: It was on every. 589 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: Single news channel in Los Angeles, radio, television, newspapers, whatever, 590 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: it was everywhere. The fact that the fire was there 591 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: was not a surprise. It's that the people who were 592 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: in charge of fighting the fire weren't in place themselves. Well, okay, 593 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: if you're Karen Bass, and you know that Los Angeles 594 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: was at risk of burning down, and you decided to 595 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: go to Ghana anyway, and the chain of command that 596 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: we used to fight fires and to make sure that 597 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: the city resources are communicating with one another broke down. 598 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: It's not like technology is going to fix that. She 599 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: wanted to go to a party, and it's as simple 600 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: as that. 601 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 2: Well, and from the reporting that we know from CBS 602 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 2: News is Jonathan Vigliotti, she didn't even tell anybody where 603 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 2: she was going. 604 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 13: Well, absolutely here on the ground. Meantime, the state has 605 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 13: more than one thousand to two hundred and fifty cameras 606 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 13: monitoring fire prone regions twenty four to seven. 607 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 8: Real progress has been made, unprecedented investments. 608 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: We fill up that reservoir yet nope, we did not. 609 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 8: But technology has been at the forefront, and so that's 610 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 8: what we wanted to underscore. 611 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 10: If we're not letting our guard down, we're not making 612 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 10: sure that we are not prepared. 613 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 13: As for staffing aunt fire. 614 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: Remember when we passed that fire bond or the water bond, 615 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: many many moons ago, and no reservoirs have been built, 616 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: not one. It was over a decade ago. How about 617 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: building those so we have access to more water. How 618 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: about that. 619 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 13: NAH now has more than eleven thousand personnel, double what 620 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 13: it was some eight years ago. Republicans, though, believe the 621 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 13: state is not prepared. They argue the Newsome administration has 622 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 13: not prioritized forest management enough catastrophe. 623 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 2: Not only that, we just passed a bill in the 624 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 2: legislature that's going to put the goat herders out of business. 625 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 2: So we're not even going to have the goats. 626 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: Lands at the governor's feet. 627 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 2: And he needs to start stop giving us platitudes on 628 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 2: the TV and get to work and giving us real 629 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 2: results with policies that matter and make a difference. 630 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 13: New Some acknowledges the state can do more on force management, 631 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 13: but he adds the federal government owns nearly sixty percent 632 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 13: of the state's land area. He argues cuts from the 633 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 13: Trump administration will only make the situation work. 634 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the last few fires that have 635 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: been devastating here. You can't blame altade on Trump. Federal 636 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: land had nothing to do with that. Pacific Palisades was 637 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: city land and state land. It had nothing to do 638 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: with the federal government. He's acting as if California is 639 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: at fire risk because of the federal government and Donald Trump, 640 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: because Donald Trump is the villain in every story that 641 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom tells, even if Donald Trump has nothing to 642 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: do with anything. When that fire initially broke out in 643 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades, it was Rick Caruso who went on 644 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: and said, some of that brush has been up there 645 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: for thirty years. 646 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 8: My president's way out of his league, including on this subject. 647 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 13: And as we speak, there are more than one hundred 648 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 13: firefighting drones like this one positioned across the state. Meantime, 649 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 13: Governor Newsom says two more Sea one thirty airplanes will 650 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 13: be added to the fleet by the end of the year. 651 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 13: Reporting on mcclullan Airpark near Sacramento, I may Tom Wallace 652 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 13: now back to you in the studio. 653 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 2: So there you go, joh. That is the latest on 654 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 2: what Gavin Newsom says is real progress on wildfire preparedness 655 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 2: in the state of California. 656 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: That guy has to be on his hands and knees 657 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: every single night praying that there's not another fire before 658 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: he leaves office. Listener Jay Jarith writes in if he 659 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 1: didn't give us platitudes he'd have nothing to give. And 660 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: by the way, Javier Bakaria, in addition to being the 661 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: luckiest guy on planet Earth in the primary where he 662 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: was last man standing, is ill equipped to be governor. 663 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: He is the heavy favorite to win, but he is 664 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: totally ill equipped to be governor. And God forbid, we 665 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: have a Pacific Palisades fire situation on our hands. He's 666 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: going to be the man in charge. And as bad 667 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: as Gavin Newsom is, Gavin is ambitious.
