Speaker 1: she did water down the Palisades fire after action report,

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: she lied repeatedly to the whole world. We talked about

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: it quite a bit, and you can hear that on

00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: made between borders are Tom Holman, who's now in charge

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: of the Minneapolis immigration operation, and it looks like he's

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna withdraw some troops and in return there's gonna be

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: more cooperation from the Minnesota officials. Luke, what's the story here?

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: There is no Luke. Oh, well, somebody should tell me that, Uh,

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get to Luke Barr when he can

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: come on. We have next hour. I want you to

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: be listening because we're gonna have Kelly, Kelly waffleron and

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: she is the head of Trump's small business administration. She

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: and the EPA had Lee Zelden are in town and

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: they are going to they have already. I know Zelden's

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: already met with Karen Bass. I wonder if that was

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: before or after we found out Bass was telling the

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Big why because the Trump administration is fed up, like

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: everybody is, with the extremely slow progress. I wouldn't even

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: describe it as progress. It's just at a standstill. Everything's frozen.

32
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: And boy, she was the bast was given a speech

33
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: or state of the Cesspool steep Beach, and she's actually

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: talking about all the progress made. I'm telling you she

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: is shameless, absolutely shameless. But she has, you know, got

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: an expensive, bright blue suit on and smiles a lot.

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: And I guess the.

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Brain damaged amongst us here in Los Angeles is thinking

39
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: she's on top of things. Well she's not. It's the

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: whole thing has been so botched for thirteen months now,

41
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: and she's covering up and lying like hell, Lee Zelden,

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have him on tomorrow at three o'clock. We're

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna have Kelly Loffler from the Small Business Administration on

44
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: today at three o'clock and let me play some clips.

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden was on Fox News earlier about the meetings

46
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: he had in Altadena and the Palisades and about the

47
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: problems with the permitting, roll cut.

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: Break through whatever local logjams still exist in Altadena. It

49
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: was expressed concerns regarding the impacts of the state insurance

50
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: regulatory scheme and the impact that that's had in getting

51
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: payments out to people, as well as the local water

52
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: systems where they say they have many different water systems

53
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: and it's not as efficient. There should be just one

54
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: our meeting in the Palisades with La Mayor Karen Bass

55
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: focusing on their issues. There are over one thousand permits

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: that have been kicked back to applicants. We want to

57
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: dig deeper as to exactly why that's happening to be

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: able to get these permits out done quickly. Two fridays ago,

59
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: President Trumps signed an executive order implementing Trump's speed for

60
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: this permitting process, directing FEMA and SPA to take actions

61
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: to make that happen. SBA's already issued a new rule

62
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: to implement that executive order, and we're going to do

63
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: everything in our power. We're here in the spirit of

64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: a cooperation to help these Americans who lost so much

65
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: of their lives, to help them rebuild as quick as

66
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: we can, and I would characterize both meetings that we

67
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: had this morning as productive. The next stop while we're

68
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: here in Palisades is now we're going to meet with

69
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: a bunch of the victims and hear their story, their

70
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 3: version of events, and see what we could do to

71
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: further assist.

72
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: But the Trump.

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Administration has been all in since the moment President Trump

74
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: was sworn in, bringing the full resources whole of government

75
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: to bear to help with the debris removal and the

76
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: SBA loans that went out, and we're still here. We

77
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: will not stop until la is fully rebuilt.

78
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: All Right.

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: That's Lee Zeldon, EPA head who's in charge of the

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: federal rebuild of the Palisades in Altadena because Bastin Newsom

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: have failed so badly. We have more from Lee Zeldon

82
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: coming up in a little bit. But Luke Barr is

83
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: here for MAYBC News law enforcement reporter Adam Minneapolis. Looks

84
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: like Tom Homan and the Minnesota officials have reached some

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: kind of an agreement.

86
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: We'll find out. Luke, how are you?

87
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: Hey?

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: How are you?

89
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm good? So tell me what there seems to be

90
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: a deal.

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a formal deal, but explain

92
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: what the federal government is going to be doing and

93
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: what the state officials and local officials are going to

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: be doing.

95
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah. So Tom Holman today basically said that they're drawing

96
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: down seven hundred federal agents that are based there in

97
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: Minneapolis as part of this Operation Metro Search after you know,

98
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 5: coming to some sort of agreement or some cooperation with

99
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 5: state and local officials that are in Minneapolis. So of

100
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 5: course there's going to be two thousand federal agents still

101
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: in Minneapolis. So you think about ICE and CVP. But

102
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 5: this is certainly, you know, an off ramp for the administration,

103
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 5: you know, because they have you know, said that they've

104
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: gotten their cooperation, They've gotten you know, they've started taught

105
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 5: to state and locals, and this is apparently has satisfied

106
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: at least seven hundred and is being drawn down from the.

107
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: City and also for their part, the Minneapolis officials or

108
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: the Minnesota officials are backing down and they're going to

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: start turning over some criminal illegal aliens.

110
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: How is that going to work?

111
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Homan kind of said that, you know, they

112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 5: will notify them when they will you know, you know,

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: for example, if somebody illegally in the country that's convicted

114
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: of a crime or accuse of a crime is out

115
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 5: of jail, right so they can call ICE and notify them.

116
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 5: And Homan has argued all along that that is safer

117
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: for federal ages to you know, arrest table.

118
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: And what are the numbers here? How many criminals is

119
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: Minnesota going to turn over to ICE?

120
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 5: So it remains because VHS has hit in the past

121
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: that there's over thirteen hundred in state and local custody

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: that have final orders of removals. So what that looks

123
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 5: like in matter in custody, mind you what that looks

124
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: like I think from a number's perspective and also I

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 5: think from satisfying the administrative the administration perspective kind of

126
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: remains to be seen. It's up in the air. Homan

127
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 5: didn't give that many details, and neither have the state

128
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: or locals. You know, we're seeing reactions from the governor

129
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 5: and the mayor, but no details like what this actually

130
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: looks like.

131
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: Do you know if these are convicted criminals or people

132
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: charged in awaiting trial.

133
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 5: So it can be both. It can be convicted criminals

134
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 5: and it also can be people who are charged with

135
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 5: a crime and also illegally in the country.

136
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: So so ICE is going to have these people deported,

137
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: whether or not they've had a trial.

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Everybody's just going to be taken away.

139
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: Well, not exactly, they have to. It depends, right, every

140
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 5: immigration is so circumstantial. But basically, if they have a

141
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 5: final order of removal, which means that their process has

142
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 5: been through an immigration judge, then they will be able

143
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: to get supported. However, if they don't, and most of

144
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: the most of the ones that DHS has said, you

145
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: know that thirteen hundred numbers I mentioned, most of that

146
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: number does have that word removal. But the ones that

147
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 5: don't will have to go through you know, the immigration

148
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: court process.

149
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Okay, now they're still going to leave over two thousand

150
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: ICE agents in Minneapolis, which is a sizeable number. I mean,

151
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: all three thousand that were sent up. There were three

152
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: thousand extra, So they're only taking out seven hundred. Are

153
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: they looking for other concessions from Minnesota officials before they

154
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: draw down further?

155
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, they didn't actually go into specifics, but they just

156
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 5: basically said, like, if the cooperation continues with the Satan locals,

157
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 5: they will consider drawing out the two thousand that are there.

158
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: And mind you, DHS has said that the largest federal

159
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: agent deployment in US history was in Minneapolis, with over

160
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 5: three thousand agents from CBP, HSI I at one time.

161
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 5: So this is the historic numbers. And for contact come

162
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: homans of the operational plan, the regular plan that they

163
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: were going to be putting in place, only saw about

164
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty agents surged to the city, So

165
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 5: to put that in perspective, it's so much more.

166
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: All right, very good, Thank you, Luke Barr, ABC News

167
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: law enforcement reporter up in Minneapolis. Thank you very much.

168
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's really all home and wanted to begin with,

169
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: he wanted the cooperation of local authorities, which most states

170
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: are giving ICE. The places where you have officials not

171
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: cooperating are the places where you have the riots and

172
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: the violence, because then ICE has to send in lots

173
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: of troops it looks like it's an invasion. It gets

174
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: these subversive anarchist or organizations to have a hook to

175
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: justify their violence, and you've got mayhem. But if Minnesota

176
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and California just did the basics, the obvious, turn over

177
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: everybody you have in custody, turnover everybody that has an

178
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: order of removal against him or her, then everybody all

179
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: this all happen peacefully out of the limelight. But Minneapolis, Minnesota,

180
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: and California they want the confrontation. They don't care if

181
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: there's rioting because otherwise you'd cooperate with federal government, which

182
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: again they have complete jurisdiction over immigration.

183
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: The states have no jurisdiction.

184
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,239
Speaker 1: They can come up with all their nonsense about sanctuary

185
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: cities and the mask rules, all garbage, all nonsense. It's

186
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: not the way the constitution works, and they know it too.

187
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: All right, more coming up, you're listening.

188
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 6: To John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six forty.

189
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: All right, coming up after three o'clock, we're gonna have

190
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: Kelly Loffler on. She's the head of Trump's Small Business Administration.

191
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: She and Lee's heldon. He's the head of the EPA

192
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: and he's in charge of the federal effort now. Trump

193
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: has sent them in to try to speed up this

194
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: rebuild quagmire in the Palisades and in Altadena. And Lee

195
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Zelden is coming on with us tomorrow at three. We're

196
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna have Kelly Loffler on today at three from the

197
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: Small Business Administration, So if you are affected by the fires,

198
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to hear her. And everybody has to

199
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: hear the difference between what the Trump people are going

200
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: to do and the way Bass and Newsom have been

201
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: and the La County Board of Supervisors had been floundering

202
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: around because it's been a year. Times up. They failed

203
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: again willfully. It's really awful And I want to play

204
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: another Lee Zelden clip. He already went on Fox. He

205
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: was in the Palisades today. Karen Bass had a particular

206
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: assessment of the rebuilding process, and he was active asked

207
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: about a play cut number six.

208
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: I know you said you had a constructive conversation with

209
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: her today.

210
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: Do you agree with her.

211
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 7: Assessment that things are getting going and things are moving well.

212
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: There are hundreds of properties that are getting rebuilt, but

213
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: it's a very small number that have actually been completed,

214
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: and there are thousands more to rebuild, thousands in the Palisades,

215
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: thousands in Altadena. So there is so much work that

216
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: is still left to get done. And I mean, I

217
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: can easily sit here in Monday morning quarterback how we

218
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: got to this point with these local logjams that are

219
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: in place. But my message to both the LA County

220
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: Supervisor and the LA Mayor is very clear on behalf

221
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: of President Trump and the Trump administration. Whatever log jam,

222
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: whatever obstacle, whatever roadblock is in front of you, that's

223
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: in front of us, you know we're here to help

224
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: tear through it to make sure that these people can

225
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: rebuild their homes. What we want is for a proud

226
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: declaration of the many thousands permits that have went out,

227
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: the many thousands of homes and businesses that are rebuilt.

228
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: And obviously there's a lot more work to be done,

229
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: but we want this to be done in the manner

230
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: of weeks, not years. And that's why that's why we're

231
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: here and we're not leaving.

232
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: He was being diplomatic, which he as to be at

233
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: this point, but the truth is it's Bass and the

234
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: Alley County Supervisors have presided over a disastrous rebuild. They

235
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: really couldn't do it much worse the people who are

236
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: getting because I know plenty of people in the Palisades

237
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: and the lots that are being rebuilt, often their developers

238
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: who are snatching up for cheap from residents who quickly

239
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: gave up. They didn't want to live through this nightmare

240
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: any further. They sold out for cheap maybe they could

241
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: afford to. And those developed kind of haven't know how

242
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: to grease their way into the system. I'll put it politely,

243
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of people. In fact, Zelden said

244
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: a thousand permits have been submitted and they bounced back

245
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: and were returned to the victims. See, she could talk

246
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: all she wants about numbers of permits, but you got

247
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: a thousand submitted and they're bounced back. Something wrong with

248
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: the system there that that's intolerable. California Post talked to

249
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Jessica Rogers, who we've had on the show. She's a

250
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: Palisades Park, a Pacific Palisades resident rather and she lost everything,

251
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: and she says she's overjoyed that they're going to be

252
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: heard at a closed door meeting with people like Lee

253
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: Zelden and Kelly Loffler Rogers said that the state and

254
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: local officials have let us burn, and we feel tremendous

255
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: gratitude that these fed officials are taking the time out

256
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: so that the community can have a voice. So much

257
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: of the pain that we've had since the beginning is

258
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: that residents don't feel heard, residents feel abandoned. And when

259
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: the federal government says we're sending help and we get

260
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: to meet with lee Zelden and tell them what the

261
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: needs are, it's huge for us. And see that's the thing.

262
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: The bass Newsome and the five stooges on the La

263
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: County Board of Supervisors, I can never remember all their

264
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: names off the top of my head because they're they're

265
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: completely they're completely useless and lifeless. But that would be

266
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Hilde Salie and Jennie Hahn and Holly Mitchell and Karen

267
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Barger and oh oh oh Lindsay Horvath, who be warned

268
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: she wants to run for mayor and she's another disaster

269
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: comment she's she's on the fast train to announce that

270
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: she's running for mayor. So they're it's just just same

271
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: incompetent boobs, just shuffling around from one job to another

272
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: uh here. This, this particularly news story encapsulates everything. LA

273
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: City Council voted fifteen to nothing to waive all the

274
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: permit fees for Palisades fire victims who want to rebuild.

275
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: This is ten months after Karen Bass publicly suggested it.

276
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Ten months later, they're finally waiving the fees. Why because

277
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's in town now and they needed to

278
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: save face and take it off the table, because it's

279
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: obscene and disgusting that for a year they tried to

280
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: shake down money out of people when it was their

281
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: fault that the fire destroyed so many homes, was the

282
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: city's fault, It's Mayor Bass's fault, it's the LA Fire

283
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: Department officials fault.

284
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: They're liable.

285
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: And then after letting your house, letting their houses burn,

286
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: they're charging permit fees. And there were being jackasses about

287
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: it too. And finally now with the Trump people coming

288
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: to town, because look, Bass, the whole city council they

289
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: know that the Trump people, I don't care if you

290
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: hate them. They're gonna get things done. This is going

291
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: to get fixed much more quickly.

292
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: They will because Trump knows how to build things.

293
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: And Bass and Newsom and the five stooges on the

294
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: LA Board of Supervisors. They couldn't build your kid a treehouse,

295
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: who would be delayed five years for permitting. The kid

296
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: would be in college before he got his tree houses.

297
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: So the Palisades fire victims, now we'll see they won't

298
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: have to pay. And well, I gotta take a break.

299
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it when we come back. And

300
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Kelly Offler on after three o'clock Small

301
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: Business Administration in the Trump administration about what she and

302
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: her agency are going to do for the businesses that

303
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: have been stuck for a year.

304
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

305
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,080

316
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: Small Business Administration the Adults are in town and she

317
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: is here along with Lee Zelden, who's in charge of

318
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: the federal rebuilding of Palisades and Alta. Dina because a

319
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: Newsome Bass and the La County Border Supervisors have been

320
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: so incompetent, everything is so stuck. Uh, we're going to

321
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: talk with Kelly Loffler about what she is going to

322
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: do for businesses who've been burned out, smoked out, and

323
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: then tomorrow we're gonna have Lee Zelden on it. He's

324
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: head of the EPA normally, but he's taking on these

325
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: duties as well.

326
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 2: Uh.

327
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: These these are smart people. And uh I think I

328
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: think for the first time now those of you in

329
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: Altadena and the Palisades, you've got some hope, but well,

330
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be on top of things to make

331
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: sure it's all followed through. Then I don't trust or

332
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: believe in anybody.

333
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: Anyway.

334
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: One more note about the Palisades. Uh, the city council

335
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: waived the permit fees finally. Everybody's been begging them for

336
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: a year. Even Dass has been asking them for ten months,

337
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: and these stupid clowns were still wanted to charge Palisades

338
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: residents with permit fees to rebuild. I mean, that is

339
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: just just an abomination. That is so cruel and wrong.

340
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: And and the thing is they wanted them. It's ninety

341
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: million dollars and they need the money. But if the

342
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: fire didn't happen, they never would have gotten this money.

343
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: This wasn't part of any budget. It shouldn't have been

344
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: part of any budget because they didn't anticipate six seven

345
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: thousand homes would burn down and need to be rebuilt.

346
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: So why are they talking about the city's losing makes

347
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: He's not losing any money. That was never never part

348
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: of the budget. How could it be. That's what's really galling.

349
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: They were looking at they were looking at the burned

350
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: out homes as some kind of profit center.

351
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they let us burn.

352
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom he had his own embarrassment, his own embarrassing

353
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: moment today, or actually this was yesterday.

354
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: He went.

355
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: One of the new stories that he went to Bakersfield.

356
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: Actually he was outside Bakersfield in a town called Wasco,

357
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: and he was bragging about the high speed rail success.

358
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up. He's Inco. I'll tell you why.

359
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: The town of Wasco is significant. So he was telling

360
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: I don't know whoever had gathered there about all the

361
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: cool things of high speed rail. Listen to this clip,

362
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: see if you pick out the biggest absurdity.

363
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 7: So I'm here in the Central Valley in Wassco, right

364
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 7: near Shafter, and we just made an announcement of our

365
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 7: progress here on the high speed rail system. We're now

366
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 7: in the process of starting to lay track one hundred

367
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 7: and nineteen mile first phase fully funded because of the

368
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 7: investments we'll make through the Cap and Investment Program through

369
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 7: twenty forty five, seventeen hundred people every single day Union

370
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 7: jobs go to work on this project. Fifty eight large

371
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 7: scale structures have been complete, twenty nine others underway on

372
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 7: ninety nine percent of the environmental work done.

373
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: All of the hard work behind us.

374
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 7: Now we're going to see the fruits of that. We're

375
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 7: going to start seeing precisely what you see here reel tracks,

376
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 7: real progress.

377
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: The train they're gonna build, if they build it would

378
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: end in Wlasco. The other end is going to be Maderra.

379
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: That's it.

380
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: That's your hundred and nineteen miles a track of what

381
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: purpose is it? And it's not high speed rail either.

382
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be normal speed rail from Wasco to Madera.

383
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: And he's standing there thinking he's fooling people. He's talking

384
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: about seventeen hundred union workers. It was a make work job.

385
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: It's like hiring seventeen hundred guys to dig a hole

386
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: in your backyard and then refill it and then do

387
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: it again the next day and the next day and

388
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: the next day. There's nothing useful at the end of this.

389
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: Now a lot of projects that we could be building.

390
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reservoirs that we could have, dams

391
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: that we could build, Oh my god, repairing all the

392
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 1: freeways and highways in the state. And he was speaking

393
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: gibberish in the middle of this about all it's fully

394
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: funded by our cap and investment program.

395
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: You know what that is. That's another gas tax.

396
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: It's why you're paying, as it today, average four thirty

397
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: six a gallon while the rest of the country is

398
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: paying two to eighty eight. That's giving you that a

399
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: lot of that money from this extra gas tax is

400
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: giving you years down the road, a rail line that's

401
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: going to run from the town of Madera to the

402
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: town of Wasco, which, as he pointed out, is right

403
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: next to Shafter. I don't know if the track is

404
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: stopping in Wasasco or Shafter, and that I don't know.

405
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: How big is that metropolitan area, the Wasco so Shafter

406
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: metropolitan area? Is that like Dallasport Worth? Is that like

407
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities? And he's bragging about it as if

408
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: it's not insane. That's what's fascinating. It's like Bass yesterday

409
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: carrying on about all the victories of her administration when

410
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: you have seven thousand buildings burned to the ground and

411
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: very few being rebuilt, and she's carrying on about how

412
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: resilient the palisades are. Nobody's resilient. Everybody's stuck. Like Leezelden said,

413
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: there's a thousand permits from Bass's office that got bounced

414
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: back to the homeowners.

415
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 2: Why and here he had.

416
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Seventeen hundred union workers working and we're gonna get someday

417
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: down the road Madera Tlasco or is it Madera to Shafter,

418
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly.

419
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: And it's not high beat rail. And they hold these public.

420
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: Press conferences and everybody nods along in applods and chairs,

421
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: and the media reports it as is.

422
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: I see this, medea?

423
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: Why somebody says, wait a second, We've been doing this

424
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. It's twenty twenty six. And

425
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: maybe sometime down the road somebody will get a train,

426
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: get on a train in Wasco, and they'll get off

427
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: in Madera, and then what do you do?

428
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: What do you do?

429
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: You go to the restroom at the train station and

430
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: then turn around and go home. I don't know, is

431
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: a is there a jack in the box nearby?

432
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: You can have lunch? Jesus.

433
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. Maybe

434
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: I am. Maybe this is some kind of Maybe I'm

435
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: dead and I was sentenced to some sort of cross

436
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: between limbo and hell, and I got to sit here

437
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: and play, play all this insanity. And maybe maybe you're

438
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: dead and you're you're stuck here with me. I can't tell,

439
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: because the world didn't used to be this way. I

440
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: know it didn't. I remember the way, not that long ago.

441
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: All right, well we come back. He's another lunatic. This

442
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: this this vaccine waters and her Wig, she's about she

443
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: must be ninety years old. Her Wig's even older.

444
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: So she's on.

445
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: The House Financial Services Committee. Oh god, and she's yelling

446
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: at the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen't Scott Bessen is extraordinarily intelligent,

447
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: and she got into this really stupid fight with him.

448
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna play you that clip. I just marvel. It's

449
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: like it's like the idiot parade. We got Bass followed

450
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: by Newsom, followed by now Maxine Waters. Maybe I'm on hallucinogen.

451
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I had eight bad mushrooms. Oh a next hour,

452
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: next hour. If you missed it in the first hour,

453
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive back in. Karen Bass exposed. This should

454
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: end her career. I mean she should resign today. And you,

455
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: if you live in LA, ought to be demanding she resigned.

456
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: And if you haven't heard, I'll tell you why. This

457
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: is not hype.

458
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 2: This is real. She's been exposed. That's all I had.
