We're going to talk to 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: Richie Greenberg, who's on with us frequently. He's kind of 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: our unofficial San Francisco correspondent. He's a writer and a 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: commentator and he follows California politics quite closely. And you 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: may have heard that the mayor, Daniel Lurie has signed 15 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: an ordinance that the Bord of Supervisors passed, and this 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: would be reparations for black citizens up to five million 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: dollars each. No tax money involved. They're accepting donations. 18 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: Uh. 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know where this came from. Uh, 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: let's get Richie Greenberg on to explain it, Richie, welcome. 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: Heay, thank you, Happy new year, first time back on 22 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: since the new year, and I hope you're well. 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I am, thank you all right. First reaction was they 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: we we don't have any living slaves in California. We 25 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: have no living slave owners and slavery was never legal. 26 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: So what's right? What that five million a person seems 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: like a big price to pay for something that doesn't exist. 28 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: Well, well, the reality is that the way that this 29 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: particular reparations plan was concocted, this scheme as I like 30 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: to call it now, is that it goes way beyond 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: the eligibility if someone is a descendant of someone who 32 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 3: was enslaved, And it goes way beyond five million dollars. 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: So that's the two misconceptions. There are actually a whole 34 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: bunch of criteria of grievances. There was a committee that 35 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: was put together a couple of years ago. Then they 36 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: went ahead and created as plan at taxpayer's expense. Fifteen 37 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: members of a committee. Each one was paid twenty five 38 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: thousand dollars for their time to come up with this plan. 39 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: And what they came up with is that currently to 40 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 3: be eligible if you apply when they get to that point. 41 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: You need to be at least eighteen years of age 42 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: or older here in San Francisco, and you need to 43 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: identify you are Black African American on public documents for 44 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: the last ten years. 45 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: That's the last ten years. 46 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: That's a lot in the last ten years, and to 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: identify it as Black African American life. Now that's required. 48 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 3: Then you have to choose two from this other list. 49 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 3: You have to be born in San Francisco between nineteen 50 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: forty nineteen ninety six, or moved to San Francisco between 51 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 3: nineteen forty nineteen ninety six with thirteen years residency within there. Right, 52 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: then you could be someone who personally or is a 53 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: descendant of someone who was jailed in the failed War 54 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: on Drugs. I'm saying that in air quotes. All right, 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: so right, nothing to do with slavery. If you were so, 56 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: if you moved here between nineteen forty and nineteen ninety six, 57 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: you lived here for thirteen years, and you were jailed, 58 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: you are eligible for reparations. 59 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: Wait, wait, you have to wait. You lived here and 60 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: you were jailed, or you lived here or you were jailed. 61 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: Well, you have to choose from two. So the categories 62 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: are you were you were born in San Francisco, or 63 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: you moved to San Francisco, or you were a descendant 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: of slaves eighteen sixty five before eighteen sixty five, or 65 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: you were you know, pick and choos two criteria. Were 66 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: you were your parents were jailed on the failed War 67 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 3: on drugs, If you were displaced by urban renewal in 68 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 3: nineteen fifties and sixties, you if you applied for a loan, 69 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 3: if you went to the bank or mortgage company and 70 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: you were denied alone, and you believe that was discrimination 71 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: between nineteen thirty seven and nineteen sixty eight, you also 72 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: are eligible reparations. Or if you went to public schools 73 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: here in San Francisco between nineteen eighty three and ninety 74 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: three during a period of what they called consent to 75 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: create desegregation. 76 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: You know what, I think every kid in California should 77 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: get reparations that they went to our public schools. Everybody, Hell, 78 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: kids were screwed here in this state. All right, What 79 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: the hell? Honestly, was this some kind of drug festival 80 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: these people are at. Is this some kind of LSD 81 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: trip they were all on? 82 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: Well, you know, they put it in writing they marched 83 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: it into the Board of Supervisors, that's our city council, 84 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 3: with big fanfare, and they had a whole public hearing 85 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: and there were people lined up to support this and 86 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: try and convince the Board the Supervisors that they need 87 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: to adopt this, to accept it and to adopt it. 88 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: And they they did. But then this is several years ago, 89 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: and then it was just shelved to gather dust. 90 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: What made it come back. 91 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: A couple of months ago. We have a new mayor, 92 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: Mayor Daniel Lurie, and for whatever reason, they decided now 93 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: to resurrect this and say, well, we've already accepted the plan, 94 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: how about we start the mechanism such as like opening 95 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 3: a bank account right mechanism before funding this, And that 96 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: was what was passed in the Board of Supervisors a 97 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: couple of months ago. Lewis signed it. 98 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: All right, there's so many things in my head. 99 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: No taxes right, Well, we don't know because right now 100 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 3: they're working behind the scenes. They are working in the 101 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: shadow of secrecy. And one of the provisions that have 102 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: over one hundred provisions that were in this plan, one 103 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: of them was to operate as an administration outside the 104 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: prying eyes of city Hall outside government. So they're creating 105 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: like their own government, their own black led government. 106 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: You see. 107 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 3: That is key. So everything that they want to do, 108 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: and we're hearing about this now. This is right in 109 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: Minneapolis and Minnesota and now California. Fraud is rampant, and 110 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 3: if you have an agency that works outside of this, 111 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 3: then they can just say, well, you know, leave us 112 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 3: the loan. This is what we're doing, all right. 113 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: But but the core id idea right now is not 114 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: being financed with any tax payments. It's going to be private, 115 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: private donations. 116 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: Well, yes, no, correct that there is no allocation of 117 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: city hall coffer funds. They are saying that we can 118 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: accept private donations, but it would still be administered through 119 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: some government bureaucracy, which means they would most likely have 120 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: to set up a new office, right, a new commission, 121 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: this new side shadow government, which means that taxpayers are 122 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: paying for that. 123 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 5: Right. 124 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: Why would Lurie sign this from afar? He has seemed 125 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: more sane than recent San Francisco. 126 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 6: Mayors exactly, And not only does it not make sense, 127 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 6: but we can then label him not truly being the 128 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 6: moderate that. 129 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: He has said he is. No, I mean claimed to 130 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: be right. And secondly, I mean some people have even 131 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: accused him of not reading the plan. Did he actually 132 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: read what these one hundred plus provisions are eligible? 133 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: Was this something like here you can you can set 134 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: up an account and pour private money into it. And 135 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: this is like, now shut up and lead me alone. 136 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: It was that thing. 137 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: It's it's very possible, honestly, it's very possible that that's 138 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: what happened. He's a very busy man, as we know. 139 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: He is on social media constantly. He's on Instagram constantly, 140 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: running around town getting a coffee and setting up meetings 141 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: with business small business owners and champion them and interviewing 142 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: them on Instagram insta mayor and and and maybe he 143 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: just didn't have the time or his advisors didn't go 144 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: through it and didn't tell him, hey, you know this 145 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: is on constantly unconstitutional what this is? 146 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 7: And too? 147 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the constitutionality. Now two other questions. First of all, 148 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 3: I took all the information. I summarized it. It's online 149 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: for listeners to go to reject Theplan dot com. Reject 150 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: Theplan dot com. It's all spelled out everything there. I've 151 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: been working for hours and hours and hours on this. Secondly, 152 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 3: it seems that once we've once we discovered it, my 153 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 3: colleague and I we discovered uh Daniel Lurry's signature on 154 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: this on the legislation. We put it out there on 155 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: X on Twitter. It got picked up and it went 156 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: viral across the nation, local and and it really made 157 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: you know, one hundreds of thousands, millions of views. But 158 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: it was only picked up by conservative media. If you 159 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 3: do a search now, yeah, yeah, if you do a 160 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: search now on CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Elie Times, XRS, 161 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: even our local chronicle, nothing saying crickets. It's really they are. 162 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: They're all locky step. That's what's fascinating. Like all these 163 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: media outlets always are in lockstep about this stuff. 164 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: Hey, hey, I'm fascinating. It's frustrating. 165 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Richie, I gotta go. Thank you very much. And 166 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: when new stuff happens on this tell us okay. 167 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: And be sure too. Thanks Having Guard Weekend. 168 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: Richie Greenberg Moistline. 169 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 8: Next, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI 170 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 8: AM six forty. 171 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: I AM six forty more stimulating talk radio.

These people are freaks. 246 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 9: I would really, really really like to know why they're 247 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 9: jumping all the water out of the Pacific Palisades Reservoir. 248 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 9: I feel really really terrible about what happened to the 249 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 9: people in the Palisades. 250 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 3: I don't even know anyone who lives there, but all 251 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 3: I do know is. 252 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: That I can't understand full the life and be why. 253 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:39,359 Speaker 5: Anybody would think that Karen Bass and her crew and Gada. 254 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 9: Neusen would do anything to help them. Everyone should be 255 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 9: completely and totally. 256 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 7: Clear and aware now that. 257 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: They don't don't care about American systens, they don't care 258 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: about you. 259 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 3: They probably wanted that thing to burn down. Aaron Bass 260 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: screwed Los Angeles and Gavin Newsom needs to be in 261 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: federal prison. 262 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 11: Yes, it's definitely by designed. Two fires within the same week. 263 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 11: Just gross negligence on everybody's part, and namely Karen Bass. 264 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 11: And I'm allan to have she's hiding behind twelve to 265 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 11: fifteen lawyers. That goes to show you she's responsible for something. 266 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye. 267 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: It's a good point. Innocent people rarely hire fifteen lawyers 268 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: to keep them from testifying in court. But that's what 269 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: Bass did. All right. When we come back, we got 270 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: another round of them. Wasistline coming up about twenty twenty 271 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: five minutes all right. I heard this driving in today 272 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: on Dever's News. What did you hear? I heard that 273 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: the number of fire trucks and ambulances in Los Angeles 274 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: has gone down in the last year since the Palisades fire. 275 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. And I'm thinking that you 276 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: got into the gummies again, that that couldn't be true. 277 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: But it is true. And will you doubt my news? 278 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just thought maybe you were having 279 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: them home. I don't have moments at least it were 280 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: all right, Well, well, we'll got I got a lot 281 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: of a lot of data here about this, and we're 282 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: going to cover this more extensively next week. 283 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am 284 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 8: six forty. 285 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: You want to see the CNN thing I was on 286 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: last night, Lex Michaelson. The story is I was on 287 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: a panel with Lisa Bloom, the civil rights attorney. Yeah, 288 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: it got raucus. We've got ten minutes of it. It 289 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: was ten minutes long, and it's on our YouTube channel. 290 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: Just you go to John Cobelt's show on YouTube and 291 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: that's one of the latest segments we put up there. 292 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: You can subscribe to our channel we're putting up new segments, 293 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: new segments most days, longer segments than you see anywhere else. 294 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: YouTube dot com slash at John cobelt Show. YouTube dot 295 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: com slash at John Cobelt's show to subscribe, and then 296 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: you'll notification it's for all this nonsense. Now, this is 297 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: hard to believe. We're already planning to do further inquiry, 298 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: further details next week. But CBS is reporting that the 299 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: number of Los Angeles Fire Department vehicles would you think 300 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: they would be up or down? After the Palisades fire. 301 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: We found out there's a big shortage of trucks. We 302 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: got a shortage of ambulances. We got a shortage of 303 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: mechanics to fix the broken trucks. So they've had a year. 304 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: Do we have more or less? We have fewer fire engines, 305 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: fewer ambulances in service. Last year, CBSLA obtained public records 306 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: that showed off more than one hundred fire department trucks, engines, 307 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: and ambulances had been out of service and in need 308 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: of repair. Repair more more than one hundred. Now they 309 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: have new numbers. As of last month, the number of 310 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: fire engines and trucks available went from two fifty two 311 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: to two forty. We're down another twelve fire engines and trucks. 312 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: The number of ambulances is down two seventeen to two 313 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: oh seven, ten less ambulances. I don't understand this. How 314 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: do we lose twelve fire engines and trucks and ten 315 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: ambulances five percent drop in both categories. As of January sixth, 316 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: that would be uh, that would be tuesday. There are 317 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: ninety six Los Angeles Fire Department fire engines, trucks and 318 00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: ambulances in need of repair. Ninety six. Well, we only 319 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: have about four hundred and fifty vehicles total, so that's 320 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, getting near twenty percent or out of service. Now. 321 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: In the past year, the department claims it added three 322 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: new fire engines. So they added three new ones and 323 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: we're still down twelve. They claim there's three more to 324 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: arrive in the next few weeks. Okay, we'll still be 325 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: down nine. 326 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 10: Oh. 327 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: This is fascinating. The overall response time from the fire 328 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: Department has increased from six minutes and fifty one seconds 329 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: eight years ago. It's now seven minutes and fifty three 330 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: seconds as of four years ago. And we don't have 331 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: any recent more recent data than that. The increase is 332 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: almost twice the four minute standard set by the National 333 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: Fire Protection Agency. Staffing in at LA is half the 334 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: size that the department needs. Half the size. I told 335 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: you that, I've told you that for a year nowt 336 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: that's confirmed here again. So I guess if we have 337 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: only half the size, of course we're going to have 338 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: double the weight time care Bass didn't change anything. What 339 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: did we have seventeen different fire chiefs this year? Nothing 340 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: got changed, City council didn't change anything. No more money 341 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: was allocated for this. Why can't we get fire mechanics? 342 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: How much fraud is going on? Which money is being 343 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: given away through fraud? How much money is given to 344 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: illegal aliens? And we have half the fire department and 345 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: double the response time. And let me repeat this in 346 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: case you're just tuning in. We had two hundred and 347 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: fifty two fire engines and trucks on the day of 348 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: the Palisades fire. We're down down to two forty minus twelve. 349 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: We had two hundred and seventeen ambulances a year ago. 350 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: We're down to two oh seven minus ten, ninety six 351 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: fire engines and trucks and ambulances out of service. Need repairs, 352 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: nobody to repair them on the now. Look, Tracy park 353 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: is quoted here says, well, we know this. We're not 354 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: really prepared for the next major emergency. It's gotten no 355 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: better since last year. None on the mechanics shortage. You 356 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: believe we have to report on a shortage of fire 357 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: mechanics to worry about that stuff. That it isn't automatic 358 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: that they hire enough fire mechanics and fire and by 359 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: the fire engines and staff enough firefighters. It's freaking Los Angeles. 360 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: No other city has these issues. Oh and we have 361 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of bums living in the street starting fires. 362 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a minute. Fire department says 363 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: it takes eight to ten months to fill positions like 364 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: fire mechanics. Why this is where you need these, these 365 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: television stations or these newspapers to spend a few more 366 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: minutes to find out why why can't you hire fire mechanics? 367 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: And again, how much money is going to fraud? How 368 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: much money is going to homeless people. Remember, there's billions 369 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: of dollars going on, billions of dollars going to homeless people, 370 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of that money is missing. And he 371 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: asked Karen Bass, and she hires fifteen lawyers. Is anybody 372 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: connecting these dots? Anybody? Here's the great line. It's like 373 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: every story ends with this line. 374 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: There. 375 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: Karen Bass's office declined our request for an interview. Instead, 376 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: her office sent a statement to CBS two. You could 377 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: you could probably mouth the words along with me. Mayor 378 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: Bass's priority is to keep Angelino's safe. We have half 379 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: a fire department. The mayor is looking forward to working 380 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: with fire chief more to better prepare LA for major 381 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: emergencies and upcoming world events. Oh yeah, that World Cup 382 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: and the Olympics, and to improve responses to nine calls 383 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: city wide. I'm sure we're I know, we're short of 384 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: nine to one one operators. They don't hire firefighters, they 385 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: don't hire police officers. They don't buy fire trucks, they 386 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: don't buy fire engines, they don't buy ambulances, they don't 387 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: buy whatever you need to make the nine to one 388 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: to one system work efficiently. They don't have operators, they 389 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: don't have paramedics, they don't have anything, but they have 390 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: billions for homeless people and illegal aliens. What's wrong with you? 391 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: What is wrong with everybody? They claim that Mayor Bass 392 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: proposed and secured one hundred and twenty million dollars in 393 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: funding for engines, trucks and other apparatus over the last 394 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: fiscal year in the coming fiscal year, then how did 395 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: we go down in numbers? If she if she proposed 396 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: and secured secured, we lose secured. That's our tax money. 397 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: You ask most people in the street, what are you 398 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: paying taxes for? I gotta believe most people are gonna say, uh, 399 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: police and fire right off the top of their heads, right, police, fire, schools, roads. 400 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: How many people say, uh? For nonprofits and NGOs to 401 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: steal the money. How many people say, you know, I 402 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: work for a living and I pay taxes so illegal 403 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: aliens could get free healthcare. I pay for homeless programs 404 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: that never removed the homeless. Don't forget the ghost staycarees. 405 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how many of you think are in LA 406 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: That's a good question. They're finding it. They're finding him 407 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: in San Diego. We need we need more of these 408 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: independent journalists like that twenty three three year old in Minnesota, 409 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: Nick Shirley. You know, the last time I looked when 410 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: the story had just broke and this is a week ago. 411 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: Nick Shirley's video in the child fake childcare centers had 412 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: gotten like one hundred and ten million views on x 413 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: which are like Super Bowl numbers. You want to know 414 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: what it's at now, yeah, I do, one hundred and 415 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: forty million. Wow. Now, the Firefighters Union is going to 416 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: start a signature gathering campaign to get a half cent 417 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: sales tax ballot measure on the November ballot. Another half 418 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: cent sales tax to pay for the truck's engines and 419 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: fire stations. That should come out of the money we're 420 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: already paying. We just had a tax increase for the homeless, 421 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: and apparently over two billion dollars of Bass's homeless money disappeared. 422 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: That's why she hires all those liars so she doesn't 423 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: have to explain where that two billion went. And because 424 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: that two billion is gone stolen, somebody fraud. A lot 425 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: of people must have frauded to get to two billion, 426 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: and she doesn't want to talk about it. So now 427 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: we're looking at another half cent sales tax measure. All right, 428 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: a lot more on this come Monday. It'll be all right. Well, no, 429 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: I just remembered that song. Okay, I thought maybe you 430 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: had some secret. No, No, Now we're going to cover 431 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: that a lot next week. This is crazy land, This 432 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: is absolute crazy land. We have the Moistline coming up. 433 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty. 434 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: During Deber's dues, you might have heard Bill of Saley 435 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: talk about the massive fraud under Gavin Dusom's watch. I 436 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: think there's some big stuff that's going to be coming 437 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: from Bill of Sale. He's the US Attorney for the 438 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: Central District here in Los Angeles. And Trump is indicated 439 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: as well that Newsom California is going to be a 440 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: target for a gigantic fraud investigation, which I imagine has been 441 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: already going on for a year and a stantly highlighted 442 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: specifically high speed rail. And it reminded me Newsome, you 443 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: think you would have ignored high speed rail yesterday? He 444 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: actually was bragging about it, he claimed in his speech. 445 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: And I'm not making this up. I'm reading from the transcript. 446 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: We're finally laying the tracks of the nation's first high 447 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: speed rail system, building the transportation network of the twenty 448 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: first century, full environmental clearance. We've built fifty major structures. 449 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: Those are those support stanchions that stick up in the sky. 450 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: Like Stonehenge. More than sixty miles of guideway, twenty two 451 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy parcels for right of way have been procured, 452 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: on and on and on, and we're going to connect 453 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: some of the fastest growing places in our state, Fresno, Madeira, Bakersfield, 454 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: making commute times shorter. Yes, you're commute between Baker's Field, 455 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: Fresno and Madera is going to be that much shorter, 456 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: says Gavin Newsom.

You 463 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 17: thought mayor baths was bad during the Palisaid fires.
