1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty you're listening to the

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And I've got

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: something here that nobody knows except us, well maybe except me,

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: You probably don't know. And we've just posted it on

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: all the social media platforms and it's a tip from

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: one of our listeners that on Thursday, March twenty sixth,

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: there is a farewell open house for the CEO of

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: the DWP, Denise Kinon. Yes, Now, an open house means

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: anyone can go, right are you going? Uh? You know,

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I could go. The thing is anybody can go, and

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: it's at the John It says the JFB and I

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: looked that up. That's the John Ferraro Building and that

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: is part of city government, the A level Auditorium. And

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, March twenty sixth, from one to three in

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: the afternoon, so we could stop by and say our goodbyes.

16
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: What are we going to bring to I was thinking

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: a hose. Oh, that's a good one, Denise. If you

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: don't know, is the idiot, the absolute idiot who left

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: the Palisades Reservoir empty. One hundred and seventeen million gallon

20
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: reservoir was left empty during fire season, and that's a

21
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: big reason why the firefighters had very little water to

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: put out the Palisades fire, one hundred and seventeen million gallons.

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: This thing was bone dry. And it was Genice Qez

24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: when she started getting named and subpoena in the lawsuits.

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Then she stepped down just a few weeks ago, and

26
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: March twenty six is the farewell party. Now can you

27
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: believe after destroying the entire town of Pacific Palisades, the

28
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: city is giving her a party, farewell open house for

29
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: our esteemed CEO. Now, how do you get esteemed when

30
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: all you had to do was take a hose and

31
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: fill up one hundred and seventeen million gallon hole, and

32
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: you didn't do it, and the Palisades burned to the ground.

33
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Not only that, she didn't turn off the electrical power

34
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: to the Palisades, and eventually, twelve hours later that night,

35
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: the flames caused power poles to fall, bringing hot wires

36
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: down below to the dry brush, and that ignited more fire,

37
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: which burned all the homes in that section of the

38
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: Palisades that hadn't burned yet. She never turned the power

39
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: off to the part of the palisades that had not

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: yet been consumed with flames. She then spent the next

41
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: fifteen months not speaking publicly except to prattle on about

42
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Earth Day and occasionally she would appear on a podcast

43
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Well actually that was mostly before she took the job

44
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: on how much she believes in diversity and equity, and

45
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: that's why she took the work with the DWP because

46
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: she was so impressed with their commitment to diversity and equity,

47
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: honest to God. And they have her in a photograph

48
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: here where she's holding her She's smiling, she's looking off

49
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: to the left with her hands folded, as if she's

50
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: emotionally touched by something wonderful that someone just said to her.

51
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: It's like her look is like, oh, well, thank you

52
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: so much. I don't think she's looking at the palisades

53
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: burning in that moment. Wow. So if since this is

54
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: an open house, then I think everyone's invited. Yeah, John Ferrara,

55
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: building the A level auditorium from one to three. Are

56
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: they actually going to spend tax money for two hours

57
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and give her all kinds of all kinds of praise

58
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: and acclamation? Of course, this is what they do. Boy

59
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: fives in the Palisades, I'd be putting bus loads of

60
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: people together. I mean, how many gut punches can you

61
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: people take? How many times can they spit on you

62
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: and kick you and insult you and just rub your

63
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: face in it? Now they give Genie Kinez a party?

64
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: How many of these people have been to the palisades?

65
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: They You know what, all the employees of the DWP

66
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: should have been forced to uh to help clean up

67
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: all the rubble, two, help help cart away all the

68
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: remnants of everybody's home. They should have been forced into

69
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: doing hard labor, heavy labor during the day, and then

70
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: they should have been taken to prison at night. And

71
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: instead they're gonna have a party. Wow, They're gonna have

72
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: food and drinks and and speeches and just probably music

73
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: to someone you should give a speech. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

74
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: That would God? Its just an appreciation for all she's

75
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: done well in appreciation for having good content on your show. Yes,

76
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm just you know, the lack

77
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: of awareness, the lack of remorse, guilt, Humilion, It's just incredible.

78
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: This I don't understand. Maybe I grew up in a

79
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: different time when you were kids, then people screw up

80
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: this badly kind of slunk away. They got fired. They

81
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: got fired, they got fired, and they took responsibility and

82
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: they apologized and they got out. Wow, that is so insulting.

83
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean I was so stunned when I saw this,

84
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: and I can't tell people to be angry. But if

85
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: this doesn't make you angry, I don't know what you're

86
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: made of. I don't really understand how they're going to

87
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: be partying. The DWP is gonna throw a big celebration

88
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to Genie Kynoniez. There is no DWP

89
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: leader who burned down an entire section of the city.

90
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean she she was groundbreaking, literallydn't wouldn't Philip Reservoir

91
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: and then never spoke about it, never gave an interview,

92
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: no apologies, no regrets, no nothing, just a party. Wow. Anyway,

93
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Thursday March twenty sixth, the John Ferrar Building that's one

94
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: of the government buildings downtown, a level auditorium from one

95
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: to three and you could say your goodbyes to Genie kemyunyes,

96
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: but you want to bet they cancel the thing.

97
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: Now you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI

98

99
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,400

102
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: And you could maybe you can give your thoughts on

103
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: the Genie Keimyunyas going away party, which apparently you're invited

104
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: to because a listener tipped us off that there's a

105
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: farewell and it looks like it looks like think this

106
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: sign is a placard on an easel. Maybe this is

107
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: in a hallway in one of the government buildings. I

108
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: just realized, like this is not this is not a

109
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: formally posted announcement, but this somebody took a picture of

110
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: this farewell open house for our esteemed CEO and Chief Engineer,

111
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Jennie Kinoniez. Yes, the crazy person who did not fill

112
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: up the reservoir one hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir

113
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: in the Palisades at the Palisades burned down. Yes, this

114
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: is the great mind and it's Thursday, March twenty sixth

115
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: at the John Ferraro Building, the JFB A level auditorium

116
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: one to three o'clock. And it says an open house.

117
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: So I think the public can come. I don't see

118
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: anything that says the public can't come.

119
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: And you know.

120
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: When they scheduled this, you know this is govern right.

121
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: So in order to schedule a party for an employee

122
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: on her way out, high profile employee, there's got to

123
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: be a lot of people in the mix because you

124
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: got to clear the use of the space, and there's

125
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: regulations on that, and there's going to be food and drinks.

126
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Those are going to be budget items and I'm sure

127
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: we're paying for that, either the taxpayers or the ratepayers, right,

128
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: And people have to well you have to have employees

129
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: or somebody's got to hire a catering service maybe, and

130
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: you just have to you have to account for all

131
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes preparation that goes into putting on

132
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: a major party for a major figure. So how many

133
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: employees are in on this? How many people in management

134
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: at city Hall and DWP are in in this where

135
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: they said, oh, yeah, this is a good idea. I mean,

136
00:09:53,280 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: the fire killed twelve people, twelve people burned to death

137
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: or suffocated to death from the smoke, twelve of them

138
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: because of what she did. In addition to the fire

139
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: department had led by that other genius Kristin Crowley, did

140
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: not stick around to put out the original New Year's

141
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Day fire. So I'm just thinking, if I'm responsible for

142
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: the deaths of twelve people because I didn't have enough

143
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: sense to stick a hose into a hole in the ground, God,

144
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: would I feel a little embarrassed having a party that

145
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm leaving And she's only leaving because she botched that up,

146
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: and Bass is running for reelection. Bass is such a

147
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: stubborn coach. There was no way she was firing Kenonyas

148
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: because Kenonias didn't criticize Bass. She had no guts either.

149
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Crowley had us at least pointed out the truth. Basty

150
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: funded the fire department and flew off to Africa. Canoni

151
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: has kept her mouth shut, never spoke of the fire again.

152
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: Is that fascinating? After you killed twelve people and then

153
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: you know about almost seven thousand buildings were destroyed, over

154
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: six thousand homes, and you just go silent? Is that

155
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: in poor taste? Do you think to have a party?

156
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the children whose childhoods were

157
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: permanently damaged. To psychees were permanently scarred. The kids lost everything,

158
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: they owned too, right, the toys. They don't get to

159
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: see their friends anymore. Their schools are gone. Some of

160
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: these kids will never see some of these friends ever. Again.

161
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: Everybody is scattered all over the place. Parents don't get

162
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: to see their family friends anymore. And Genie Canonias is

163
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: going to have a party. Like, how many kids couldn't

164
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: have a birthday party last year because the parents had

165
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: to move away, you know, maybe ten twenty miles away,

166
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: and you can't really get everyone together anymore to have

167
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: the birthday party at the local park in the Palisades. Right,

168
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: But Genie Canonians is going to have a party. Wow?

169
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: And how many of those twelve deaths you know, in

170
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: these fires, they tend to be elderly people were the

171
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: grandmother's grandfathers who aren't going to their grandkids' parties because

172
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: they died because they burned or got suffocated. But Genese

173
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: Canonias gets a party, and I'm thinking, nobody at the DWP,

174
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: no adult at city hall said, wow, guy, that kind

175
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: of makes me sick thinking about it. I got to

176
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: pit my stomach. I gotta I actually do have a

177
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: pit in my stomach thinking about this. This is awful.

178
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: She gets a party and everybody signs up. Yeah, yeah,

179
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean somebody had to. Somebody had to put together

180
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: this placard. They had to select the photo, they had

181
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: to do some artwork that framed the photo. They had

182
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: to set the typeface for the copy. They had to

183
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: get the easel, the stand, put the placard on the stand.

184
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: And there's probably a lot of these right And as

185
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: people are walking by, all these government workers, anybody looking go,

186
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: we're giving her a party. Didn't she destroy the palisades

187
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: because she's stupid? I really I think that that's really

188
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: been lost because I noticed now that it seems like

189
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: virtually no one in government cares anymore. They just don't,

190
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: and the few who do don't speak out anymore, and

191
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: they just there's no guilt, there's no remorse at all.

192
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: It's like they've all become psychopaths, and the psychopathic disease

193
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: has spread to the point where now everyone's comfortable putting

194
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: on a going away party for a woman who didn't

195
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: have the sense to fill a hole in the ground

196
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: with water. And twelve people died. And I'm gonna keep

197
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: repeating this. Seven thousand plus buildings destroyed, six thousand plus homes, destroyed,

198
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: and she gets a party, and all the adults agree, Yeah, yeah,

199
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: let's have a party. Let's go and let's say nice

200
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: things about her, because it doesn't matter. We can't get fired,

201
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: and none of the politicians will lose reelection. Nobody will

202
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: suffer any consequences for this. Karen bass is leading in

203
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: another poll. Everything is just going to continue and we'll

204
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: pretend this didn't happen. Certainly we are. No one's taking

205
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: responsibility here, and nobody's sorry. This is the worst psychopathic behavior,

206
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: mass psychopathic behavior, which is a new concept. I didn't

207
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: realize you could have entire government offices, entire government buildings,

208
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: the whole structure of LA government is psychopathic. No remorse,

209
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: no regret, no responsibility. We don't care. Your house was destroyed.

210
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: We don't care. Your children's lives traumatized beyond all reason.

211
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: We don't care. You burned to a crisp. We don't care.

212
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Choke to death on the smoke. We don't care. We're

213
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: having a party for Jennie kiinoniez open house. We come back.

214
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to We're going to talk to

215
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: Rick Scott. He's a Florida State senator. Republican. He's leading

216
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: the investigation into the Palisades Fire, and he wants Jade

217
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Vance to investigate maybe a whole lot of fraud because

218
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: the federal government gave the state of California a lot

219
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: of money for wildfire prevention and they think maybe it

220
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: didn't go to wildfire prevention. So we'll have Rick Scott

221
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: on next.

222
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

223
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: six forty.

224
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with Florida Senator Rick Scott. He

225
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: has been conducting a US Senate investigation along with Ron

226
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Johnson of Wisconsin, into the Palisades Fire, and he has

227
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: announced publicly that he wants he's asking Vice President JD

228
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: Vance to investigate if federal wildfire prevention money sent to

229
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: California was spent on something else other than wildfire prevention

230
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: and mitigation and recovery efforts. And we'll see what the

231
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: latest is on the specific Palisades investigation. Let's get us

232
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Senator Rick Scott from Florida on Republican. How are you.

233
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: I'm great.

234
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: We're gonna get people the facts, We're gonna find out

235
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: what went wrong, and we're gonna find out if anybody

236
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 4: ought to be held accountable, and we're going to do

237
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: everything we can to make sure this doesn't happen again.

238
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the funding that you want investigated,

239
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: because Vice President Advance has a task force looking into

240
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: this sort of thing, the fraud that's going on all

241
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: over the country, but more in California than anywhere else.

242
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: What do you wanted to do?

243
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 4: Well, yep, So, as you know, the Trump appointed Jdvans

244
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 4: to look at fraud around the country.

245
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: So I sent a letter to my sers in.

246
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: Advance urging his anti fraud task force to investigate California's

247
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: use of federal funds for wildfires. And then they had wildfires,

248
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 4: So what did they do with the money? Because it

249
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 4: shouldn't seem like they did anything to prevent wildfires, and

250
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 4: so we're going to get to the bottom of it.

251
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: I've asked for information from pretty much, you know, all

252
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 4: the agencies Department of agg Home Land Security, Interior, dot Treasury,

253
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 4: just to get let's get the fact.

254
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: So we are.

255
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: Working on getting all that information, and I'll be working

256
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: to make sure vices and banss for a task force

257
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 4: has it so we can get to the bottom of

258
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: this and make sure one we make sure there's no

259
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 4: money wasted.

260
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: And two, if we're going to spend money.

261
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: In California, we're going to spend as to do what

262
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: we sent it for. If we sent it for a

263
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 4: wild fire suppression, we're going to do it for a

264
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: wildfire suppression.

265
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Well, they certainly didn't cut the brush in the Palisades,

266
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I mean I saw some video in

267
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: one of the documentaries that the brush looked like it

268
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: was about ten feet high.

269
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: They didn't cut the brush.

270
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 4: And on top of that, they had a fire that

271
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: they didn't put out and left it smoldering. Now, I'm

272
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 4: not an expert firefighter, but every so often in the Everglades,

273
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 4: if we have a dry year, we'll have a few

274
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: fires down there.

275
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: We don't. We do prescribe burning.

276
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 4: We clean out a brush in Florida at the state level. Now,

277
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 4: the federal government they don't have a lot of land,

278
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: but they don't do it on the federal land.

279
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: But we do it.

280
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 4: But even want that when I've seen the fires, they

281
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: stay way after the fire's over, you know, just to

282
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 4: be turned over the ground, doing everything they can to

283
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 4: make sure it doesn't rignite. And what they did here

284
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: is they they left it smoldering, and then that's ultimately

285
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: what ends up with the Palace's fire. So we're going

286
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: to find out why that happened, who'd made that decision.

287
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: But you know, my big focus with fighters and bands

288
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 4: is all the federal money, unbelievable amounts of money has

289
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 4: gone to California for wildfire suppression and where did it go.

290
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a question about a lot of categories of spending,

291
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: many many billions of dollars in the in the fire here.

292
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's there's a civil lawsuit by

293
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: the residents of the Palisades, and I've had the attorney,

294
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Roger Bailey on one of the attorneys on several times,

295
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: and he's taken depositions. They've released some video and audio

296
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: the depositions, and it's it seems nobody really has a

297
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: clear answer. Everybody said, well, I talked to this guy,

298
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: I talked to this captain, this is and the this

299
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: battalion chief, and they just, uh, nobody was responsible. Nobody

300
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: can remember who had a conversation with who about what.

301
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: Right.

302
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 4: Nobody in government, nobody ever wants to.

303
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: Be held accountable. So I had.

304
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: I had four hurricanes when I was governor of Photo Afterwards,

305
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 4: I we had after action reports. I didn't even read

306
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 4: them before they released. I just made sure that they

307
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 4: were released and then we changed.

308
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: What we've watched with this.

309
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: It appears that the actor action report with the Palace

310
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: hit fire, it was how do you make sure Karen

311
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: Bass looks like she was doing something even though she

312
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 4: was in Africa at the time, and so and the

313
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 4: uh so we're gonna we're gonna get to.

314
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 3: The bottom of that.

315
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: But it sure appears that, uh, you know, there was

316
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 4: a cover up there and and people died, twelve people died.

317
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 4: I got what thousands of people without homes. I've got

318
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 4: a Holocaust survivor, Rachel's Hortz, who you know, lost her home.

319
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: Spencer Pride has been very helpful. He's shown me around

320
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 4: what happened.

321
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: To his house. So, but I talked to a lot

322
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: of people. We did hearing out there with Ron Johnson,

323
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: uh and listened to victims. So we're going to get

324
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 3: to the bottom of this.

325
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 4: It's it's it's it's not like the city, in the

326
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 4: county and the state have been helpful. But so Kevin

327
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: Newsom said he was going to, but then he didn't.

328
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's a shock.

329
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

330
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: And the state's involvement in possibly chasing the l A

331
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: firefighters off that original burn site. Uh, there's there's been

332
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of accusations back and forth about that.

333
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: Uh that you know, Uh, yeah, I don't get it.

334
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean it's and it's you know, firefighters are

335
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 4: good people. They want to do their job, and when

336
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 4: politics gets involved, it's sure it makes it very difficult

337
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 4: for them to do their jobs.

338
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: And that's what appears here, is that some politics.

339
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: Got involved in this instead of letting the experts of

340
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: firefighters figure out how to do it.

341
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: How long do you think your investigation on the cause

342
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: and the cover up will take? When when do you

343
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: think we'll get some meaningful news out of it? I

344
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: know it's it's not easy, and you have a thousand

345
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: other things going on there.

346
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: Well, it's poland teeth to get the mayor, the city council,

347
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 4: Department of Water and Power, the fire Department, Parks Recreation

348
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: did tell us. And so we have to keep asking

349
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 4: and keep bugging them and keep calling them.

350
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: So, but we're we're going to get there. It's I

351
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: don't like.

352
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 4: If it was me, I would just be transparent and say,

353
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: you know what, this is what we could have done better.

354
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 4: Here's what I learned every hurricane. I was a better

355
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: governor because they learned something everyone. And so if I

356
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 4: was Karen Bass, let's get the real facts so this

357
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: never happens again, and I'll take you know, and she

358
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 4: should take the responsibility that you know, but she can say, look,

359
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: I've never been through a while far before. I'm disappointed

360
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: to say that they allowed us to happen.

361
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: But you know, here's what we learned, and here's what

362
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: we're going.

363
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 4: To do different.

364
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 3: So people would be understanding.

365
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: If Vice President Vance takes up takes up your request,

366
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: then that's going to be a whole separate investigation onto

367
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: where the federal money has been going for these fire

368
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: prevention efforts. That's a whole nother.

369
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yep, and we will turn over everything that we have,

370
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: so acceleberate his investigation, all right.

371
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 3: Us.

372
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: Senator Rick Scott from Florida, thank you for coming on

373
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: with us, and as soon as you find out something,

374
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: please come back on the show and let us know.

375
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: Well, and Johnny, do you have any listeners that had

376
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 4: any information hour to follow up on.

377
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Just let me know, all right, we'll do Thanks a lot,

378
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Sean. US Senator Rick Scott, Republican from Florida, is

379
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: leading an investigation into the Palisades fire, and this week

380
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: he asked jd Vance, the Vice President who's in charge

381
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: of an anti fraud task force for Trump, to set

382
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: his sights on potential fraud for all the federal money

383
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: that was supposed to come for wildfire prevention in this state.

384
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: Can you believe that the bass in the Newsome offices

385
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: not cooperating all that quickly. It's shocking, isn't it. We'll

386
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: talk more coming up.

387
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

388
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 2: six forty.

389
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: Chad Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, is running for governor

390
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: and in a lot of pulling, he's in the top

391
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: two along with Steve Hilton. He has seized six hundred

392
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand ballots from last November's election. It's an

393
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: investigation to see if they were fraudulently counted. And we

394
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: will talk with Chad Bianca. That made a lot of

395
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: headlines over the weekend. Jamie Page and Zane Khan are

396
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: two writers with the California Post, and they took some

397
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: rides on the trains and the buses to see what's

398
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: going on. Here's the headline. I rode on LA's Metro.

399
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: It was a healthscape of disturbing acts, violence and drugs.

400
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: I saw this morning when I go get my bagel.

401
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: Every morning on Wilshm Boulevard, buses go by, and I

402
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: saw two buses back to back, and I thought, oh,

403
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: what's this about. And the first bus was completely empty,

404
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: and I noticed it was flashing on its sign training bus.

405
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: So they had a woman who oddly looked like Karen

406
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Bass I'm not kidding, and I thought, well, maybe maybe

407
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: she's training for her next career. That'd be a good move.

408
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: Let her drive the bus and deal with all the

409
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: murderous vagrants that she's allowed to roam free. And then

410
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: the second bus comes and it's the regular bus driver,

411
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: excuse me, and there's actually one passenger. One. So I

412
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: saw two busses go by, total of one passenger. It's

413
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: like this every morning. Every morning, these big busses go by.

414
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: There's almost nobody on them, and whoever's on them, I'd

415
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: say eighty percent of the time. They're homeless vagrants and

416
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: they're just sitting dead eyed or unconscious, and the bus

417
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: is taking them up and down and up and down

418
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: for hours and hours. It's ridiculous. And I see, I'm thinking,

419
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: how much money does this cost to provide daycare for

420
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: people zonked out on heroin? I mean, how much how

421
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: much money do we spend? And yeah, this is actually

422
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: a longer article. I'm only going to have time to

423
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: give you a couple of highlights. Here you taste of it,

424
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk more after Chad beyoncoll But crime

425
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: has risen. It was about twenty seven hundred incidents in

426
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. It was forty three hundred incidents in twenty

427
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: twenty five. Forty three hundred, two hundred eighty six aggravated

428
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: assaults on buses and rail lines. That's up thirty eight

429
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: percent over a seven year period. And they flagged the

430
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: same problems over and over again. People openly using drugs, smoking,

431
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: drinking booze, beer, graffiti, harassment, disorder. This is what you

432
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: get on many of the buses and trains, and we

433
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: pay for this too. This is just fascinating what we

434
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: pay for over the course of the week. These California

435
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: Post riders watched homeless passion unraveling, pacing the aisles while

436
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: shouting or muttering to themselves. Drug deals were conducted in

437
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: the open, customers lighting up, lighting up in public, filling

438
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: the train cars with smoke. And those train cars are sealed,

439
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: so you know, if some guy starts lighting up a

440
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: pot or math or whatever. Crack pipes clattered across the floors.

441
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: Sour stench of sweat and urine that soaked the seats.

442
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: You look upset. I want to go on a train ride. No,

443
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: we could do a live show from can we covered

444
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: in plastic. We gotta wear the plastic. We'll wear plastic

445
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: as well. A woman pulled a knife during one ride,

446
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: waved it in the air, and then put the blade

447
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: back into a holster and continued on like nothing had happened. Yeah,

448
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 1: just in the mood for a few seconds, like, hey,

449
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: maybe I'll cut somebody's threat. I change my mind. Yeah,

450
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: we'll have more of this later. Chad Bianco, he's the

451
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Riverside County Sheriff. He's running for governor. He's in the

452
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: top two in many polls Republican and he has confiscated

453
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: a very large number of ballots from the November election,

454
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty thousand, saying that he wants to

455
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: investigate and see if these were fraudulently counted, fraudulently, the

456
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: votes are fraudulently taken. I'm not sure. We'll see when

457
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: he comes on. Deborah Mark Lyden the KFI twenty four
