1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Kf I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Ken

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: is way DeBras here and we've got much to get into.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Next hour, we're gonna talked with Blake Trolley about another

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: task force. Wow. Cool, those always work out so well.

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Karen Bass and the and other police officials announced a

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: task force to stop all these smash and grab robberies.

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: A task force. God, why didn't I think of that?

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: I could have looked like a hero yesterday. One thing

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: that popped out of the La Times story was the

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: La County Sheriff Robert Luna says his department is aware

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: of one hundred and seventy recent organized retail thefts. One

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy recent or it took one hundred and

14
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: seventy of them to organize a task force. So we'll

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: get to all that, but first, Steve Gregory and Maui.

16
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: It seems indefinitely covering the aftermath of this horrific fire

17
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: and the death tolls up to at least one hundred

18
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: and eleven and there's still a thousand people missing.

19
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: It could be two thousand. Wow, And that's coming from

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: people I've been speaking with working the scene, from rescue squads,

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: urban search and rescue teams on the ground yesterday had

22
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: a conversation that they were told by federal officials to

23
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: prepare for a possibility of up to two thousand missing

24
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: people presumed dead. But it's really hard to sort of

25
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: pin it down because of how the communications infrastructure has

26
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: been affected here and impacted. So a lot of people had,

27
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: you know, kind of ran up and fled into the

28
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: hillsides and have been staying up there. A lot of

29
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: people that may not have had any friends or family here,

30
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: tourists who had no DNA family members to offer DNA

31
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: for the profiles that they're putting together so that they

32
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: can match up the human remains to the familial DNA

33
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: that's been put on file. So there's a lot of

34
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: it's a very complicated, very tedious process. The FBI is

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: on scene now, though we're not being told specifically what

36
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: they're doing, but I know that that includes some evidence

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: recovery experts, So whether they're assisting with human remains or

38
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: rapid DNA, that's something I'm trying to find out today.

39
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: But there was another press conference yesterday and the tenor

40
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: of this press conference was interesting. I did not physically go,

41
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: As I told you yesterday, I was not going to go,

42
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: and I'm glad I didn't because it looks as though

43
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: the low media are now starting to get a little

44
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: more aggressive, and so without me being there to sort

45
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: of taint the well, if you will, I wanted to

46
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: play for you some select bites today of sort of

47
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: how people are feeling now and the lack of answers

48
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: how things are going overall. So the press secretary, her

49
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: name is mcconna McClellan, and she's the governor's press secretary.

50
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: This is how she's been opening all the press conferences.

51
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: We are the state of Aloha, so we ask Kinnie

52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: that you please operate under the values of Aloha, which

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: is extending respect and kindness to each other. Questions and

54
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: answers will follow promptly after the speakers conclude their remarks,

55
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: without further ado, I would like to invite Governor Josh Screen.

56
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: So the Governor comes up and does his statement. But

57
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: this is how she prefaces every press event.

58
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: She tries to enforce an attitude, tries to shame people

59
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: into not being too aggressive with the governor. Sure or

60
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: anybody up there for that fact.

61
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: So when it came time for Q and A, one

62
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: of this speakers yesterday was Herman and Daya. Now he

63
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: is the head of the Maui Emergency Management Agency, and

64
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: a story came out yesterday about him not having any

65
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: field experience, that he's mostly been a pencil pusher, and

66
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: that he basically got overwhelmed and may have dropped the

67
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: ball on all of this. So there was a lot

68
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: of scrutiny on this guy. And the first question from

69
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: CBS came out of the chute, and it had to

70
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: do with the sirens. But the other thing too that

71
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: this mconna does is she'll take the questions, the reporter's

72
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: question and then she encapsulates it and distills it down

73
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: and then has the person come up.

74
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 4: You made the decision not to sell the sirens, which

75
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 4: could have saved many lives. Now there are questions about

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: your lack of experience, and you only took on courses

77
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: for disastery leave the field experienced. You bet your decision

78
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 4: and have you considered handing over the reins to somebody

79
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 4: with more experience.

80
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: So the question is around sirens as it relates to

81
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: the disaster and the question is for Hermann.

82
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: Now did you catch what she did there?

83
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Right? She turned it back to sirens instead of the

84
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: lack of experience that this administrator had.

85
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: And he comes up.

86
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 5: So the new story talks about how I didn't have

87
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: experience before taking another job.

88
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: That's not true.

89
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 2: That's not true.

90
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: So can I stand of the debate? Then huh?

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: Well it goes on a little bit, and then he

92
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: gets into his experience and talks about what he's done.

93
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: And so the reporter comes back, so that's hey, read.

94
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: Not sounding the sirens?

95
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 6: I do not, and the reason why.

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: And so many people said they could have been saved

97
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: if they had time to escape and the siren gone off,

98
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: they would have known that there was a crisis of

99
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: margam and as we know, so many bodies without in

100
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: the ground.

101
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 7: Do you want him to give you the answer?

102
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: At this point, the mayor comes up, Mayor Bisson comes

103
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: up to the lectern.

104
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 7: Want do you want him to give you the answer?

105
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 7: Do you want to then let him finish that? Let

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 7: him finish is answer. There's a lot of people, Well

107
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 7: you're talking, You're letting you talk. If you want to talk,

108
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 7: come up here. I'm ready for the answer, then we.

109
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: So that's the kind of tenor to start out to shoot.

110
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, the mayor got pretty defensive. So at that

111
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: point then H. Mcconnaugh comes back then.

112
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 3: To another friendly reminder that we encourage alohne kindness. Again,

113
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: we appreciate the questions, but I would encourage all of

114
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: us to operate under the values of alohaan kindness. You've

115
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: got asking the question.

116
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: You've got hundreds of people dead at least, and it's

117
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: clear that this this this crowd didn't know what they

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: were doing. They don't want to, they don't want to

119
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: take responsibility. They don't want to even engage the possibility

120
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: that maybe they made the wrong decision. It's just aloha.

121
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Don't you understand we're under aloha? Here the hell I

122
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: sound like little kids?

123
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 2: Well, uh, if you want, I can come back. Because

124
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: then the governor gets involved with a local reporter, not

125
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: not a mainlander, not an outsider like me.

126
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: But a local reporter. So I got that, all right,

127
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: we'll do that next. Uh, Steve Gregory and MAUI. This

128
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: is how these things happened. We don't know about the

129
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: quality of the employees that have huge responsibility in a

130
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: crisis time. We here in no town, in no city.

131
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: We pay you know, billions and taxes, but we don't

132
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: know if the guy who's gonna is supposed to flick

133
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: on the sirens switch is going to do it. We

134
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: don't know what goes on in his head. We don't

135
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: know how smart he is, how experienced, how educated. We

136
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: don't know anything. We just think it's a government. You know, no,

137
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: listen to them. I don't know what they're doing. This

138
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: could happen again and again and again.

139
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

140
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 6: A M. Six forty.

141
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: We're on the radio from one until four. I forgot

142
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: to tell you four o'clock, the iHeartRadio app has the

143
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: John and Can on demand podcast, so you could listen

144
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: to what you missed. We continue with Steve Gregory, who's

145
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: been in Malley all week after the horrific fires. And

146
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: the story of the fire damage is one thing, but

147
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: now the second round of stories on how contentious and

148
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: prickly and evasive all the Hawaiian officials have been with reporters

149
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: and how little information we still have is getting quite fascinating.

150
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: I just ask you, I know you got more stuff

151
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: to play. Just one question related to that official who

152
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: never hit the siren switch and doesn't regret it because

153
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: they didn't want people, Well, it's a everyone thinks it's

154
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: a tsunami siren, and they didn't want people moving upward, upward, right,

155
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: because that's where the fires were coming from. It didn't

156
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: never occur to all these people to have a fire

157
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: siren and some cis where you could direct people in

158
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the correct to go in the correct direction.

159
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: I don't know that's a short answer. But the other

160
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 2: answer to is of critics have said that a siren

161
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: noting an emergency is better than no siren at all, right,

162
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: And they could have been supplemented and followed up by

163
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: the wireless texts alert and that's that was the That's

164
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: what everyone's complaint was, is like when you usually do

165
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: a siren, there's usually a mass text that goes out

166
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: that says, hey, evacuate here, and I've been locals show me,

167
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: you know, on their phone, like this is this is

168
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: the messages we get. This is how it works. And

169
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: there was a fire back in twenty eighteen, and they

170
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: used the system back back then. The infrastructure that's in

171
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: place now, the early alert warning was used in twenty

172
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: eighteen to this very haright.

173
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: So did that wireless system not work this time or

174
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: they didn't use it? What was the story?

175
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is that they felt like they got

176
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: the alert too late, and then then a lot of

177
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: people didn't get it, and then they were blaming it

178
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: on the power outage, and it's like, well, the power

179
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: outage doesn't have anything to do with the cell alert

180
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: because the cell presumably unless cell towers are down, which

181
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 2: no one has said that that has been the case

182
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: or not, and or if the hub of where those

183
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: alerts come from was destroyed, which is typically out of

184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: emergency operations center or a cell phone hub. So no

185
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: one said anything about any damage to those composts.

186
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: So nobody's explained why the alert didn't go out on

187
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: the wireless system. No Ah, All right.

188
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So this here is a local reporter now who

189
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: is talking about the fact that there's a lot of

190
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: mistrust out there. Does that sound familiar? Same question I

191
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: asked on Monday, and mistrust and social media and the

192
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: role social media has been playing. And then this is

193
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: mcconna McClellan, the Press secretary, distilling the question.

194
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: So the question is around public trust.

195
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 5: Well, first and foremost, if you're relying on social media

196
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 5: with all due respect, well as an example you used,

197
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 5: it's a terrible example because social media is the worst source.

198
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: I think you'll let me answer the question.

199
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 6: Is government doing.

200
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 5: Reporting through social media is idiotic?

201
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: Doing reporting through social media is idiotic?

202
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: And then he goes on doing reporting in person is intelligent.

203
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: Doing reporting in person is intelligent. Now we're not allowed

204
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: to report in person, We're not allowed down there. And

205
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: then it goes on. He goes on and does a

206
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: lot of more platitudes. But after this press conference I

207
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: found out a federal official said that from this point

208
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: forward only local media, only media from Hawaii will be

209
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: allowed in the hot zone. Any outside media entity must

210
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: go through a cultural sensitivity training course.

211
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: Are you are you serious that cultural sensitivity?

212
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 7: Yeah?

213
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: And what do they teach you about the philosophy of aloha?

214
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 7: Yeah?

215
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 6: So that's here's my thing.

216
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: God, they're so fixated now on controlling the medium and

217
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: putting us in our place. And the police chief here,

218
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: John Pellettier, former Captain Las Vegas Metro PD, he is

219
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: really held bent on putting us in our place and

220
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: telling us where we belong in this whole entire scheme

221
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: of things. And yesterday, I mean again right back at

222
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: lecturing us on how to do our jobs and what

223
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: he thinks is news and not news. That's the thing

224
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: that always fascinates me about these people.

225
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: Why change They're desperate to cover up a lot of news.

226
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: They're hiding a lot of bad stories right now. To

227
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: why to send you to a cultural sensitivity training session?

228
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's Soviet Union stuff.

229
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: Well, and the interesting thing is, so you know, bart

230
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: Avery's been my handler on the ground here because he's

231
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: got forty years experience navigating this island. And he was

232
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: allowed to go with me into the hot zone the

233
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: other day because he was carrying equipment, and he was

234
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: also helping to photograph and sort of memorialize the visit

235
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: for us visually, and he did. And I can't wait.

236
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to post a few photos today showing just

237
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: how I'm trapesing all over the bones and ash of

238
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: the dead, you know, as I was accused of doing

239
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: by the governor, And I'll give you It'll give you

240
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: exactly the perspective you need to see on how we

241
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: do our job in a zone like that, and it's

242
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: just mind boggling that he really thinks he can get

243
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: by with I mean, right now, he is the guy

244
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: in control. I mean, he's the guy in charge.

245
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: But I said, well, how long does this go on

246
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: before the national news media starts to well.

247
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: See, that's what I'm saying. So that was CBS that

248
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: got smacked down yesterday. I don't know how much of

249
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: a deal they're going to make about it, but I

250
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: don't think it's going to go away anytime soon.

251
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: This is a it's an extremely serious tragedy. It is

252
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: is a lot of dead people, and they they've got

253
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: their acting so squirrely that this really requires an in

254
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: depth media intens investigation.

255
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: Well, I thought what I would offer him is I'll

256
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: go through the Hawaiian cultural sensitivity training if he goes

257
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: through media relations training.

258
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: There's a deal.

259
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will.

260
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: I'm willing to do that. If he's willing to go

261
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: through media relations training, I'll go through sensitivity training.

262
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: They're not going to get better coverage by acting this way.

263
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: No, And I think kind of the sort of hypocrisy

264
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: about this is how he's turning us Mainlanders away. But

265
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: they want the Mainlanders support and how is he going

266
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: to his local people are not going to be able

267
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: to communicate because you don't get the Hawaiian newspaper out there.

268
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: And the psychological manipulation of cultural sensitivity respecting our looha philosophy,

269
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean that is really the passive aggressive manipulation.

270
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: So I talked to two urban search and rescue people

271
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: yesterday and I asked him, I said, hey, I just

272
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: got an interesting question for you, like what did either

273
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: of you have to go through any sensitivity training in

274
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: order to approach these homes and these properties. And I

275
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: was asking you as a legitimate question because I did

276
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: not know that, perhaps because I do remember some sensitivities

277
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: when I used to work in Arizona about going on

278
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: to Indian reservation land and having to cover things there.

279
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: I was actually put through like a a primer, a

280
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: real quick primer on want not to do on Indian land.

281
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: And I understand that, and I was respectful of it.

282
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: So I wanted to know if any of these people

283
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: from all over the country have gone through some sort

284
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: of sensitivity training, and like, no, what are you talking about.

285
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, you know, people, there are dozens and dozens

286
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: of rescue folks down there now that are going walking

287
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: over people's property and on private property and through rubble

288
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: and through businesses, and none of them has gone through

289
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: any kind of sensitivity training. So to suggest that reporters

290
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: should have to do the same thing when they're being

291
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: relegated to walking down the middle of a paved street

292
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: and not allowed into the areas that the rescuers are

293
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: is a bit of a stretch.

294
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: Well, they're covering up as best they can here because

295
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of bad stories, yep, that

296
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: they don't want known see. Thanks very much, take care

297
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: of Josh. All right, thank you. A little more on

298
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: this coming up. We're going to give you a rundown

299
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: of the stories that they want to cover up because

300
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: CNN Wall Street Journals has been doing some digging, and yeah,

301
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that's indefensible, inexplicable. John and

302
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: Ken show And I wonder, is this the new latest

303
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: woke wave that you won't be able to cover news

304
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: unless you're culturally sensitive to the to the town or

305
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. So if there's a crime spree and a

306
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: certain part of town, you can't get in there until

307
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: you become certified in the proper cultural sensitivity to the

308
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: to the beliefs and customs of the neighborhood. I mean,

309
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean this could shut down all news where you

310
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: could be charged now with just through your news coverage

311
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: of being insensitive and you don't get certified, and so

312
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: you can't do your job. Well. This woke stuff that

313
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: the journalists have embraced now coming back to bite them.

314
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: John and Ken.

315
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on Demand from KFI

316
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 6: A M six forty.

317
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: We're on the radio from one until four. Then after

318
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: four o'clock it's the Aheart app for the John and

319
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: Ken on Demand podcast. To listen to what you missed.

320
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: We just had Steve Gregory on about the Mali wildfires

321
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: and the town of Lahaina being destroyed, one hundred and

322
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: eleven dead, one thousand missing, and the difficulty that the

323
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: reporters there are having getting straight information out of the

324
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: various officials. They're very defensive and argumentative, and they want

325
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: to make reporters go through sensitivity training if they're from

326
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: outside the island. And they have this woman who conducts

327
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: the press conference by preaching about the Aloha mentality the

328
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: culture of Hawaii, which apparently is supposed to foreclose any

329
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: pointed aggressive questions. Never seen anything like this. But it's

330
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: an extension of wokeness, is what it is. Now have

331
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: to take a course in Hawaiian cultural sensitivity or you

332
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: cannot cover. Uh, you're not allowed in certain areas of

333
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: the island that have been affected by the fires, which

334
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: I've never heard before. Cultural sensitivity for the reporters before

335
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: they get to cover the fire. I just but this

336
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: is where wokeness keeps going. It is now eating up

337
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: the journalists who've helped promote this nonsense. But the people

338
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, especially the survivors, the one who the ones

339
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: who have family and friends, who are now ashes, literally

340
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: they're ashes. They're being blocked from getting the proper information

341
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: to see who whose fault is this for it being

342
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: this bad, and people hate this is also really part

343
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: of the sensitivity woke movement. You're not supposed to blame

344
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: anybody anymore. Oh, you're just finger pointing. You're playing the

345
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: blame game. Yes we are finger pointing. My finger is

346
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: pointed at you, and I am blaming you. If you

347
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: either did your job badly or you neglected your job entirely,

348
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: and your actions cost the cost all these lives and

349
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: all this property. Because when you work for the people,

350
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: you have to do the right thing. You have a

351
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: higher standard than some shlub in a cubicle in some

352
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: god forsaken office. Still, if you're if you're involved in safety,

353
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: emergency safety for a city, and the public's paying you

354
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: and they're depending on you to get the information correct

355
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: and get the response correct, then people should be chasing

356
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: you down. They should start getting acting aggressively. If you're

357
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: not willingly giving up the information. Who the hell do

358
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: you think you are? You work for the people. The

359
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: people don't work for you. You work for the public.

360
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: And now we have a lot of dead members of

361
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: the public and a lot of destruction and a lot

362
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: of missing people. So you didn't turn on the siren.

363
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah you're going to hear about it. Of course you are.

364
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: If your job is to turn on the siren and

365
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: you didn't because you had some convoluted thinking, or you

366
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: were lazy or stupid, or you just habitually make bad decisions,

367
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: and then yeah, you should get smacked around. I don't

368
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: understand this. You're just government workers, Like, get over yourselves,

369
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, and we're gonna follow that path by the

370
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: way for our own local issue after two o'clock, like

371
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: trolley's coming on because Karen Bass and other police officials

372
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: has announced a task force, a task force to investigate

373
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: all these smash and grab robberies. But you know, drop

374
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: near the bottom of the article and leave it to

375
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: the El Segundo Times. This should be the headline. The

376
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: county Sheriff Robert Luna says, this department is where of

377
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy he said, organized retail thefts, one

378
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy and now they're triggering a task for us.

379
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: Huh And out of that one hundred and seventy, how

380
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: many of them are the same guys over and over

381
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: again who have been picked up on other crimes and

382
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: George Gascone hasn't prosecuted them. That's the question. A lot

383
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: of this is going to lead back to Gascon, except

384
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: Gascone employs the same kind of tactics that these clodes

385
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: in Hawaii are imposing. When reporters tried to corner him

386
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: on Monday, he got all angry and defensive, started waving

387
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: their hands in him at the reporters. So you know,

388
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: this is endemic. Now, this kind of behavior from guilty

389
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: public servants who are on our payroll when they get

390
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: caught with bad policy or just shirking their responsibilities. They

391
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Not to get too far sidetracked. But

392
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: Gascone in that press conference wasn't blaming the thieves so

393
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: much as those people who buy the merchandise that the

394
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: thieves sell in the neighborhoods or online. You f all

395
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: that it's the thieves customers who are to blame. That's

396
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: who we focused on. And then he jumped on the

397
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: reporters for not reading and parroting his midterm report on crime.

398
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: He wouldn't answer anybody's question clearly. So that's what they're doing.

399
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: This is the same version of this in Hawaii, although

400
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: it's many many times more tragic because these are one

401
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven people and there's a lot of children involved.

402
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: And we start here with the electric company. Hawaiian Electrics

403
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: said publicly in twenty nineteen it would conduct drone surveys

404
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: to identify areas vulnerable to wildfires determined how to keep

405
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: residents and infrastructure safe. So that's four years ago in truth,

406
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: though according to the Wall Street Journal, between twenty nineteen

407
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty two, Hawaiian Electric invested less than two

408
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five thousand dollars, and that's according to

409
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: regulatory filings that the Wall Street Journal inspected. So publicly

410
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: they got a cheap headline, Yeah, yeah, we're gonna get

411
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: a drone and we're gonna map and monitor, you know,

412
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: to see who's at risk and a wildfire. They did

413
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: no such thing. Okay, two hundred and forty five thousand

414
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: dollars doesn't even cover lunch for those four years. And

415
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Hawaiian Electric is under a lot of criticism for not

416
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: shutting down power lines when the high winds created dangerous

417
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: fire conditions. And if you heard the woman who was

418
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: speaking for Hawaiian Electric, well, that's not something that we

419
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: do here. That's something that's in California. But it's controversial.

420
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: Whether it's controversial or not is not the point. This

421
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: is not up for everybody to vote on. This is

422
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: a policy that if you take, if you shut down

423
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: the power then the power lines can't start fires. You see,

424
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: That's how it works. And by the way, I also

425
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: read that there were studies that said they should have

426
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: buried the power lines years ago. And just like California,

427
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: nobody did. This whole Maui situation is very reminiscent to

428
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: the Paradise fires a few years back, just you know,

429
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: in competence on the part of the electric company, in

430
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: competence on the part of government officials in responding to it.

431
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: Just like in Lahina, there were only a couple of

432
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: exit routes out of Paradise. And in general, nobody in

433
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: government that we paid billions of dollars to was prepared,

434
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: was ready, that made the right decisions. They have the money,

435
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: they voluntarily took the job, they agreed to be hired.

436
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Now here's what comes with us with it. You get

437
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot of money they do get paid with, and

438
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: you get pensions and benefits and in return, oh gee,

439
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: if there's a fire, flip the switch. And if you

440
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: don't want people moving in one direction because of the

441
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: way they're attuned to that siren, well then come up

442
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: with another plan. And he should have had the other

443
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: plan years ago. There's no excuse for this.

444
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 6: Johnny Ken, you're listening to John and Ken on demand

445
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 6: from KFI AM six.

446
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: Forty Blake trolley is going to come on after two

447
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: Because he went to a Karen Bass's press conference announcing

448
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: a task force to fight the smash and grab robberies.

449
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: That's right, when people show up at a nordstroms now right,

450
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: when the robbers pile out of their mercedes, you know,

451
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: thirty to fifty of them, they're going to run right

452
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: into that task force guarding the front doors. Yikes. All right,

453
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: here's another idiot politician. And I like this guy for

454
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: about five minutes, but he's turned out to be a nut.

455
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York. He is angry

456
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: that nearly all of the illegal aliens that made it

457
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: to the state of New York are in New York City.

458
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: And he even went through the math. Listen to this clip.

459
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 7: This is a national, a statewide issue.

460
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: That has been unjustly dropped into the lap of New

461
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 4: York City resident.

462
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: We only make up point zero five of the land

463
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 3: mass in New York State. Point zero five that's what

464
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: we make up.

465
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: Yet we are housing over ninety nine percent of the migrants. Wow, No,

466
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: mister Mayor. The rest of the state, the most of

467
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: the other ninety nine point ninety five percent of the

468
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: land mass, did not declare their cities a sanctuary for

469
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: illegal aliens. You got this crowd because you declared it

470
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: a sanctuary, so the illegal aliens thought, oh, this is

471
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: a good place to go. And you also had some

472
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: illegal aliens sent there by other mayors and governors who

473
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: didn't want their cities and states to be a sanctuary

474
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 1: because they don't have the money or the personnel or

475
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: the living space. So it's like, hey, New York says

476
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: it's a sanctuary. They've got the time and energy for this.

477
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Here you go. They're on their way. Most of these

478
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: illegal aliens are finding New York on their own, by

479
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: the way. I know the Abbot and DeSantis bus and

480
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: plane rides are getting a lot of attention, but most

481
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: of these people are migrating to New York on their own.

482
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: And Adams had made it clear at the beginning that

483
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: they were going to take care of all these people.

484
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: But now he's got hundreds of migrants sleeping on the sidewalks,

485
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: and he's saying, there was never a desire to have

486
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: anyone sleep outside the dam burst. I don't know how

487
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: to get it clear. For a year and eight months,

488
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: no one was sleeping on our streets. And he said

489
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: the dam well, the damn burst because everybody in your

490
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: party has supported Biden's open borders plan. When you have

491
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: open borders, this is what happens. You didn't squawk about

492
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: it before they arrived in New York. You thought it.

493
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: You didn't make a complaint as long as the migrants

494
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: were confined to El Paso or Brownsville, Texas. And then

495
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: you said it was cruel when those officials sent the

496
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: migrants out. Well, now they're with you. I mean, I mean,

497
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: does are they all insane? Is everybody out of their minds?

498
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: What do you think sanctuary mean? You didn't say we

499
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: have sanctuary for the first one thousand, right, You didn't

500
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: set a limit on It's like, get a on the table,

501
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: take those first one thousand migrants, but after that, no

502
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: more sanctuary. I I don't understand they do this with

503
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: a straight face. I have no idea if they believe

504
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: what they're saying. Do they forget what they said, you know,

505
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: a month ago? Do they realize what they're promoting is unworkable?

506
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: This is another one of those things that's simply it

507
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: doesn't work. I don't care what your political belief system is,

508
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: this doesn't work. Open borders, sanctuary cities what do you

509
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: think is going to happen? Hey? All right, coming up

510
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: another thing that never works, task forces. But we got
