Yeah, 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: if you just shot a deputy and you end up 23 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: bouncing down the freeway. Yeah, bye bye. 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: But you know we have to stick in that that 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: word allegedly. Allegedly, Okay, I mean I have to as 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: a news person. I guess you don't have to. 27 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: No, I don't have to, but you live under different 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: rules I do, all right? Coming up after two o'clock, 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: brand of Roger Bailey on He's three o'clock. Coming up 30 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: after three o'clock. Roger Bailey is the attorney who's representing 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: like thousands of people in the Palisades over the Palisades fire. 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: And as you know, the on the New Year's Day morning, 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: there was something called the Lockman fire that the fire 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: department thought they put out, and it turns out to 35 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: believe all this, they didn't. It was still smoldering, and 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: then the very strong winds kicked it up again. And 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: oh that reminds me. We got sant Ana wins coming tomorrow. 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: Yes we do. And the heat is on, we have 39 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: the heat advisory, and it's windy. 40 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: And the winds are going to be pretty strong. Yes, 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: all right. So is the reservoir filled? 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I'm not sure. 43 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: How about all the other reservoirs are the hydrants fixed. 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: I think the hydrants are fixed. 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: Should the new fire chief come out and say the 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: reservoirs filled, the hydrants are fixed. We hired new firefighters, 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: we fixed the broken fire trucks. I'm not hearing that. 48 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: Jennie's Cononas could do it too. She's still on the job. 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: Gene Canonias could hold the hose and fill the reservoir. 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: In fact, in my country, not only would I not 51 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: rescue that guy who shot at the deputy and his 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: bouncing on the freeway, Jeniez Kumilias would be sentenced to 53 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: standing over the reservoir, holding the hose until all one 54 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen million gallons. 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say something very different. 56 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: No, I'm not mean okay, all right, ok No, that 57 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: would be your sense. Now. She couldn't sleep, she couldn't 58 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: sit down, She'd have to stand there holding the hose. 59 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: Life would be very different if I ran this place. Yes, 60 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: all right, so let me We're going to have Roger 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: Bailey on next hour. But I wanted to give you 62 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: a rundown of why he's coming on, because this is fascinating. 63 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: The LA Fire Department kept insisting that the fire was out, 64 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: that they had checked it, the fire was out, and 65 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: they were at first mystified that it blew up on 66 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: January seventh, and then kept claiming it's like, well, there's 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: nothing anybody could have done. It was just such an 68 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: unusual situation that turned had to be complete bull crap, 69 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: just complete bs on the part of all the public 70 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: figures who said that, yes, they could have put it out. 71 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: In fact, they should have had a fire crew there 72 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: as soon as soon as it seemed to be out 73 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: on January first. That crew should have been standing there 74 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: right through the windstorm, because we had about a week's 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: worth predictions. But no, they left. And on January second, 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: there was a hiker and he was taking video and 77 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: he was walking across, according to the La Times, the 78 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: scorched landscape of ash and you could hear his footsteps 79 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: crunching on the charred earth. He looks over a ridge, 80 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 1: at a burned scar with blackened stumps, and he zooms 81 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: the camera to wisps of white smoke rising from the dirt. 82 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: This is January second, the next day, and he says, 83 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: while he's recording, it's still smoldering. He whispers it there 84 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: are no firefighters or park rangers visible were shot by 85 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: a local resident above the trailhead Skull Rock trailhead eleven 86 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: thirty am January second, thirty six hours after the Lockman fire, 87 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: the original fire ignited, and long after the LA Fire 88 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: Department announced that the fire was fully contained. And this 89 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: is a really important piece to the puzzle because everybody 90 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: is angry and they want to know, well, after the 91 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: LA Fire Department declared it out, how did it rekindle 92 00:05:52,320 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: into the Palisades firestorm Because the next day it was 93 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: in the morning of the next day and wisps of 94 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: smoke was coming from the smoldering debris. Also, here's another angle, 95 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: and we'll get into this in detail with Roger Bailey, 96 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: the attorney. They say the state, remember Newsom has been 97 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: sloughing off all the responsibility on the City of La 98 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: But the state owns to Panga State Park and that's 99 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: where the Palisades fire began. It in the wilds up 100 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: there above the town of Palisades, Pacific Palisades. You can't 101 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: tell exactly whether you're standing on state land or county 102 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: land or city land. There's all kinds of different jurisdictions there, 103 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: different parks, different conservation agencies all along the Santa Monica Mountains. 104 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: It's a maze of bureau organizations. And you know, even 105 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: if you had a map, you could really tell where 106 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: you're standing. Well, after all the time of analyzing what happened, 107 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: they say this started on state land and they didn't 108 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: make sure that the area was secure. They didn't make 109 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: sure that the fire was at either. Remember Newsom was 110 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: claiming that he pre positioned all these fire assets, fire 111 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: trucks and CalFire personnel. Another total lie for a guy 112 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: who claimed on national television yesterday that he just he 113 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: can't lie. He said, I can't do that when it 114 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: comes to lying. But he lied about that. But you know, 115 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: he is so cute. 116 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: It's a very nice smile. 117 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: And let me tell you, a guy who may have 118 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: an IQ as low as ninety three, of course he's 119 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: not going to be able to figure out where the 120 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: fire started, where the jurisdiction lines are, what you're supposed 121 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: to do. 122 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Okay, you're saying he's not able to meet the moment. 123 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: When you're when your IQ could be as low as 124 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: ninety three, you are not intellectually capable of meeting the moment. 125 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. So we'll have Roger 126 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: Bailey on next hour of the Attorney because this is 127 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: an amazing find from this hiker and it just came out. 128 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: I think this came out in the in the news. 129 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: Was it Saturday morning? No, it's today? 130 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: What is day twenty seventy Monday? 131 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, just came out yesterday. So we will we will 132 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: get deeply into it now when we come back. We 133 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: talked about this briefly on Friday. Karen Bass, boy, I'd 134 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: like to IQ test on her, Huh, I say she's 135 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: sub Newsome. 136 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: Has she told us what she got on her SAT? 137 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: No? No? And you know what, that should be part 138 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: of the mandatory you know, in fact, IQ and SAT 139 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: scores should be mandatory records released when you run for 140 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: a major off you'll see and don't let anybody tell 141 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: you those numbers don't matter. In my experience, people I 142 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: know with high IQ stores and high SAT scores are smart, 143 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: obviously smart and successful. And the ninety three dollars like Newsom, 144 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: you can tell right away, not much going on in there. 145 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: We will talk about Karen bass naming a new fire 146 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: chief and when is he going to explain whether the 147 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: reservoirs filled or not he anymore? Or is it Jamie Moore, 148 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: did we ever settle on that? No? What is your 149 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: news department saying? 150 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: We said it could be either way? So maybe we 151 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: need to get him on the show and ask him. 152 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yes, I have a lot of questions to 153 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: ask him because I'm just seeing in this story about 154 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: his selection there's a lot of the words equity and 155 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: pop up diversity. Apparently that was specialty in the fire department, 156 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: and that is not a good sign. 157 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 158 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 3: six forty. 159 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: We just told you that over the weekend, found out 160 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: there was video on made by a hiker on January 161 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: second showing that the remains of the fire from January 162 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: first was still smoldering. There was still wisps of white 163 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: smoke rising from the dirt. So the LA Fire Department 164 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: had said the thing was put out and they left 165 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: the scene, never to return until the fire reignited. Apparently 166 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: still hard to believe. And they're also trying to figure 167 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: out they think it was on that smoldering was on 168 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: state land, and they think the fire started on one 169 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty acre sliver of land owned by the 170 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: Mountain Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, it's another government agency. 171 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: Before spreading to Tapanga State Park, the rekindle happened on 172 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: state park land, says Trey Robertson, another attorney, and that 173 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: California State Parks did not sufficiently monitor the smoldering earth. 174 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: So it looks like we were failed by the LA 175 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: Fire Department in Kristin Crowley and we were failed by 176 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: the California State Parks Department. Now here's a reminder. The 177 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: National Weather Service warned repeatedly for days before January seventh 178 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: of critical fire conditions and a life threatening, dangerous woodenstorm, 179 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: and nobody in the LA Fire Department or in the 180 00:11:54,120 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: State Parks Department nobody paid attention to that. That's a 181 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: huge question here. So if I ever get to talk 182 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: to Jamie Moore, who's a deputy chief now Bass's new chief, 183 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask him what do you guys do all 184 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: day when the National Service puts out critical fire warnings? 185 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: You had a fire in a dangerous spot, you declare 186 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: it over, everybody leaves, nobody checks, you know, the Twitter account. 187 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: Don't you get bulletins directly from the National Weather Service. 188 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: What do you guys do all day? How come with 189 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: the thousands of personnel, thousands of personnel in the Fire 190 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: Department at City Hall under Karen Bass, and the State 191 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: Parks Department and this conservation agency which is government, nobody said, hey, 192 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: look at this. This is like a red warning. This 193 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: is the scariest thing I've ever seen. I remember all 194 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: all the posts online were in red, although eventually they 195 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: were in purple. Found out that purple is worse than red. 196 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: So back to Jamie Fasing. I lost my place here, 197 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: Jamie Moore, so I'm reading here. Bass calls him the 198 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: professor because he's taught in the past, and he will 199 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: reform the fire department and prepared for emergencies and upcoming 200 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: major events. You mean, like reading the Twitter feed from 201 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: the National Weather Service. That's a good reformation right there. 202 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: Having the crew stay behind and monitor a fire to 203 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: see if it's still smoldering when you think one hundred 204 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: mile an hour winds are coming. Reform. I can't believe 205 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: the incompetence in the management structure of the fire department. 206 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: I am. I'm astonished by this, aren't you. Chief? More 207 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: is a proven and admired firefighter. What was he doing 208 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: that day? Did he see the warnings? Wasn't he worried 209 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: that the fire might kick up again? Did he know 210 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: about that fire? Did he know about the reservoir? Who's 211 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: going to explain why nobody in the fire department knew 212 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: there was an empty reservoir. Who's going to explain why 213 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: nobody in the fire department didn't know about the thousand 214 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: hydrants that were broken? Seriously, it's a thousand, Go look 215 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: it up. But the La Times very approvingly points out 216 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: that more created the LA Fire Department's Equity and Human 217 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: Resources Bureau. How does that help? How does equity in 218 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: human resources? How does that help? I'm looking for somebody 219 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: who's going to be monitoring social media, monitoring any of 220 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: the feeds from the National Weather Service. I'm love that. 221 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: I really don't care what color he is. You know, 222 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: he could be a green gay dwarf as long as 223 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,119 Speaker 1: he can read the screen and then set off the alarm. 224 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: The Equity and Human Resources said he is dedicated to 225 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: improving diversity, equity and inclusion at the fire depart Well, 226 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: this is what we had our whole management line up, 227 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: between baths and Kenas and Kristin Crowley that was the 228 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: gold standard for diversity in equity? Could you how could 229 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: you get more diverse than that? And so what did 230 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: it matter? Because Bass left the country? Apparently Kristin Crowley 231 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: was incapable of reading a weather forecast and Kenonas was 232 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: incapable of filling a hole in the ground with water. 233 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: You know, they say when an airplane goes down, there's 234 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: so many redundancies built into the system that you have 235 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: to have many, many things go wrong at the same time, 236 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: which is why planes almost ever go down. Obviously, there 237 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: were so many things that went wrong here. But it 238 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: wasn't like a lightning strike. What this was was massive 239 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: incompetence that had gone on for years and had finally 240 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: caught up to this government, the LA Fire Department. And 241 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: is he gonna say that they can actually put out 242 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: fires when they're only half funded, half staffed, they're only 243 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent funded. What's he gonna say about that? Or 244 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: is he not gonna say anything more? Coming up, you're listening. 245 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: To John Cobel's on demand from kf I AM six forty. 246 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: You can do the moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty 247 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: six eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight seven seven 248 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: sixty six four seven eight eight six, or the talkback 249 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: feature on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna do it on Friday, 250 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: and again we're gonna have Roger Bailey on the the 251 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: attorney who's representing thousands of Palisades homeowners who got burned out, 252 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: and he's going to talk in detail about that new 253 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: video that a hiker shot January second, the day after 254 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: the original fire was now here's a good place to 255 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: use the word allegedly Deborah after it was allegedly put 256 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: out on the first good point, turns out it wasn't obviously, 257 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: So Roger Bailey coming up. Now, you know, I know 258 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people are not going to be 259 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: shedding tears for the wealthy of Malibu, but Malibou is 260 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: changing rapidly. You know, Malibu has a slow growth philosophy. 261 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: You know, they did not they didn't want what wall 262 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: to walk condos have ever been down in South Florida 263 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: can't see the Atlantic Ocean to drive through a book 264 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: or a tone or similar cities on the Atlantic side 265 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: of Florida. The ocean is completely blocked out by one 266 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: gigantic condo after another after another, and even in Malibu, 267 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of kind of sad that 268 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: you can see the ocean for a lot of the 269 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: stretch because people had their big homes blocking the view, 270 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: so they tried to rope in development, and so they 271 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: have so many restrictions that people are finding it very 272 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: difficult to rebuild their home. Not to mention the insurance issues, 273 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: but there are outsiders, foreigners. Foreigners hold on remnom of 274 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: international buyers, and developers are snapping up properties like crazy 275 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: because the local residents can't deal with the regulations. Because 276 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: the relations have led to very costly renovation estimates. Two 277 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: brothers from New Zealand get this, bought six twenty five 278 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: million dollars worth of burned out lots on the beach 279 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: this year sixty five million dollars and wealthy people from Europe, Canada, Asia, 280 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: and the rebuilds are so costly that even the Malibu 281 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: people can't afford them. So God knows what we're going 282 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: to get here. Longtime residents are going to be replaced 283 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: by development groups, foreign buyers, airbnbs because they got plenty 284 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: of time and staff to deal with the impossible regulations 285 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: of one hundred. Now there's seven hundred and twenty Malibu homes. 286 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: They've burned. One hundred and sixty lots are on the market. 287 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: Forty seven got a price cut. And I've read that 288 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: there's only been four. Yes here it is Malibous only 289 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: issued four permits two percent of the applications received. How 290 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: frustrating is that after nine months, See they have it 291 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: used to be used to be years ago, you could 292 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: build anywhere. I think we've all driven around California and going, 293 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: why the hell did they build on that cliff or 294 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: on the beach like that? You know what? You know 295 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: I noticed driving on pch Now those homes really were 296 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: on just a little tiny slip of land. Most of 297 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: the home extended over the airspace of the beach in 298 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: the ocean. In fact, a lot of cases there wasn't 299 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: much beach, you know, at high tide, the ocean rolled 300 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: in under the house. These homes were built on stilts. 301 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: So the Malibous issued four permits because since the good 302 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: old days where people would build anything anywhere, now they 303 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: have so many complicated regulations that nobody can rebuild their 304 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: house in the same way without having a very expensive bill. 305 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: And so the rebuilding timelines are longer. FEMA has flood 306 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: elevation standards, so many ocean front homes have to sit 307 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: higher above the sand. There's new septic standards. Oh yeah, 308 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: they don't have a sewer system in Malibu, which I 309 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: didn't know. Septic tanks. 310 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 2: We have some of those in our neighborhood. 311 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: You have septic tanks, yes, I. 312 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: Don't, but in our neighborhood there are homes that do 313 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 2: just right around the corner from us, right. 314 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are living in the mid nineteen hundreds. 315 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 3: You know. 316 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: I was shocked to find that out. 317 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: They are disgusting. You ever walk past a grate of 318 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: over we had. I remember I was a really little kid. 319 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: We didn't get a SERI system in my town in 320 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: Jersey till I was five years old, and I have 321 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: this vague memory of walking into the backyard and there 322 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: was a little cement slab, but it was a great 323 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: that covered the septic tank, and I didn't know what 324 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: it was as a kid, and I just walked over there. 325 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: That was the worst smell up to that point. I'm 326 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: only five, but that was the worst smell I'd ever 327 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: smelled in my life. I was disgusting. I was. I 328 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: was afraid to go to that corner of the house. 329 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: And I also remember them tearing up the street in 330 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: front of my house to lay down the sewer pipes, 331 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: which I found fascinating. I just sit by the front 332 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: window of the living room and I just watched them 333 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: lay down the swer pipes every day. That was all 334 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: the entertainment I used. 335 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: To get to say, you are easily entertained. 336 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is why I ended up in a 337 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: room talking to myself, pretending, pretending I was on the radio. 338 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: Because it was either I created an imaginary life in 339 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: my bedroom or I go stand at the living room 340 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: window and watch them lay septic tanks or lay short pipes. 341 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: I could go to the septic tank smell it, or 342 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: I could watch the short pipes. 343 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: Decision. 344 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so they have to replace existing septic systems with 345 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: wastewater treatment systems, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. 346 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know, I'd probably just sell I don't. 347 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have any patience for all this, And a 348 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: lot of people are a lot of people are just 349 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: getting out. They're getting out of the palisades as well. 350 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: Because bassled new some wide. They all lied. Nothing's been 351 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: done to speed up the process. I've heard nothing good 352 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: and it looks like a disaster. You know what This 353 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 1: is revealed and it's as if you didn't know. It's 354 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: just a massive failure of government on every level. And 355 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: it was. It's been a failure for a long time. 356 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: This exposed it to the whole world. But these are 357 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: bad employees in badly run departments who do bad jobs. 358 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: I can't put it any other way. What else could 359 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: you say? We have a very bad government and it 360 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: must they must all have a subnewsom IQs because what 361 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: we only have half the fire resources LA needs half 362 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: and they spend most of their time putting out bumfires 363 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: whatever the crazy homeless people start, I spend most of 364 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: their day. They put out thousands of bum fires every 365 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: year all over the city. But when the big one happened, 366 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: nobody showed up. There's only one word for that, stupid. 367 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think. I don't think people realize. 368 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: You should realize how bad it is. You think that, 369 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: but then you know Gavin Newson's gonna run for president. 370 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: He and his ninety three IQ got elected three times 371 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: as governor byther.

There's probably twenty five people, men and women 383 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: from both parties who are far superior than Newsome. You 384 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: could get a good governor from every of every political 385 00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: flavor out there. Why him? All right?

Up until a few days ago, 395 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: Katie Porter was the number one candidate for governor for 396 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: next year's election. She is a Democrat and former congresswoman 397 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: who ran for Senate. What came in behind Adam Schiff 398 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: and Steve Garvey. Nobody liked her. I don't know what 399 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: people in Orange County were thinking. She is loud, irritating, abrasive, 400 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: and I bet you she's in the sub newsom range 401 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: on the IQ scale.
