1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose sitting into John Cobalt. All this week, what

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 3: a day in southern California. We got the forecast, so

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 3: we knew it was coming, and really the storm delivered

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 3: and it was heavy duty rainfall earlier today and the

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: storm for the most part, subsided right on time. At

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: one o'clock, kfi's Michael Monks.

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Is in the newsroom. So far, so good.

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: There's still some pockets of rain I'm seeing here on

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: the radar, but it seems like this bigot's off.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 4: There are pockets of rain.

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 5: We are seeing some rain falling in the area around Ukaipa,

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 5: San Bernardino County. What we're dealing with right now, Lou,

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 5: is just the aftermath the day loge as you called

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 5: it before you went to break, that has already blown

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 5: through this part of southern California, and we're actually seeing

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 5: a little bit of sunshine breaking through the clouds right

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 5: now here in Burbank. It looks kind of nice out there.

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 5: A total reversal of what we were experiencing earlier this

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 5: morning when that rain was coming down as if you

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 5: had turned on the shower. It was fast, it was intense,

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 5: and the rain piled up all across La County, parts

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 5: of Inturre County, parts of Orange County very very quickly,

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 5: I mean multiple inches in a very short period of time.

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 5: But that rain has finally, for the most part, subsided,

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 5: and now we were just keeping our eyes peeled for

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 5: any potential after effects such as mud slides.

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 3: I'm looking at some video here earlier today in North Hollywood,

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: and I mean, conditions must have just been right in

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: the geography of this street.

32
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: But there's a car floating.

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: I mean, there was so much rain so quickly at

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: once in one area that it is beyond the tires

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 3: of a car. So you know, we hear about, oh

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: we got two inches and twelve hours. No, there's feet

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: of water that can gather very very quickly because of

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: the topography of the area. And not only the topography,

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: because you're right about that, but the streets around here

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: are just not designed to drain that quickly. The rain

41
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: came down so hard and so fast that this is

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: what the National Weather Service was warning about the most.

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: In addition to the mud slides, it was flash flooding

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: and we did see that pop up. In fact, there

45
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: are still some flash flood watches that are lingering in

46
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: southern California. That still remains the threat right now, but

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: it's just a flood watch for much of Orange County

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: right now, parts of San Bernardino County or Riverside County

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: right now, those are the lingering things.

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 4: But when that rain comes down.

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: At the speed that it did and the short amount

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 5: of time that it did, you're going to have some

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: situations on the road. We certainly saw that that was

54
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 5: the worst part for this region. It wasn't necessarily that

55
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 5: we were all getting a little bit wet, but I mean,

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: if you were in the San Fernando Valley today, you

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 5: were definitely driving through roads that some people may have

58
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: been wise to turn around to avoid them. They tell

59
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 5: you don't drown, turn around. There was some pretty deep

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 5: water that some of these cars were braving during the

61
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 5: morning commute.

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 4: It was pretty choppy out there.

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, right around like ten in the morning. I was

64
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: listening Gary and Channon. We're saying just that wherever you are,

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: just stay, Yeah, that's probably the best course of action.

66
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: You mentioned drainage, and I was listening to some of

67
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,559
Speaker 3: the folks from the National Weather Service.

68
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Of Inventura.

69
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: They said, it's not so much the drainage, although nobody

70
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: could handle that much rain that quickly, or at least

71
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: nobody in this in this area, it's also the debris

72
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: that's caught that that's brought by the moving water. It

73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: only takes a couple of palm fronds to block a drain,

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: and then once that drain is blocked and there's a

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: rock on top of it, now it's not moving, and

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, water will.

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Just start to accumulate.

78
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: So just getting these storm drains cleared the greats cleared

79
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: in a quick way takes time.

80
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: At least they know where they are.

81
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: But sometimes the locals in the areas will know about

82
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: their storm drain and they'll go out there with the

83
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: broom handle and just kind of make sure that the

84
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: drain is clear so that the water can go down.

85
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: That's right, And because there is so much debris that

86
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: can come down from the hillsides, there's there's not a

87
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 5: whole lot of preparation one can do to predict what's

88
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: gonna come down.

89
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: Because the rain started pouring.

90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: Now, certainly no one would tell la to slow down

91
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: its pace of cleaning the garbage out of its streets.

92
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: I mean that type of debris is going to be there,

93
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: and that's going to be problematic. But we do have

94
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 5: the topography. As you say, it's often very lovely to

95
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: look at, but it can become problematic if it starts

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: washing down the hillside and lou Just the pace of

97
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 5: this rain was so significant. Places like bell Air and

98
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: Beverly Hills saw more than two inches come down in

99
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 5: just a twelve hour period. Su pal but A Canyon

100
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 5: saw more than three inches come down in that same

101
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 5: amount of time, almost two inches in legal excuse me

102
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: an Eagle Rock, an inch and a half in East Pasadena.

103
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 5: San Gabriel Dam saw more than three inches in twenty

104
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 5: four hours. The wettest spot is the same that it

105
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 5: always is. It's ope, it's can't they call it. That's

106
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: a part of the Angelus National Forest. It got more

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: than five inches of rain in just that twelve hour period.

108
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: But even Palmdale, Lancaster got a little wet today. More

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: than a quarter inch in Landcaster and nearly half an

110
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: inch in Palmdale.

111
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: The size of the storm, I mean, just the circumference

112
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: to be able to have impacts as you mentioned in Lancaster, Palmdell,

113
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: through the La Basin, Long Beach, Orange County are now

114
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: working its way. Well, it's over San Diego right now.

115
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: I mean it is a large winter storm, an early

116
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: winter storm, but a large one and not insignificant wind

117
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: sixty mile an hour winds.

118
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a wind advisory out there in parts of

119
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 5: the mountains, and there's also farther up north of Santa

120
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 5: Barbara where where the mountains are taller.

121
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: I suppose that there's a winter weather advisory.

122
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: So it's a different experience depending on where you are

123
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 5: and winter weather as.

124
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 4: Weather advis just north of Santa Blarbaudy.

125
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not something that you're used to hearing that

126
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: no blustering snow.

127
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 5: The meteorologists have been calling this an anomaly. This isn't

128
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 5: the type of storm that blows through at this time

129
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 5: of year, and so it caught us off guard, and

130
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: it's it's well, I shouldn't say it caught us off guard.

131
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: And we were getting the warnings for a few days.

132
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 5: Since the end of last week. The meteorologists of the

133
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: National Weather Services were telling us that some pretty significant

134
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: weather was going to be rolling through and it certainly did.

135
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: It lived up to its name, and more fortunate that

136
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 5: we haven't seen too much damage, so it's not over.

137
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 5: Though the rain may have moved on. There are remaining

138
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 5: evacuation orders that you reference before going to break in

139
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 5: Orange County, and it shows you how devastating some of

140
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 5: these wildfires are. Because of course we're paying attention to

141
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: the area burned and the Palisades fire and in the

142
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 5: Eaten fire, those are still very very fresh, but these

143
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 5: evacuation orders out of Orange County around the Airport fire,

144
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 5: and there are other fire burn scars that have also

145
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: been of concern today. We're talking about the Hurst fire

146
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 5: and the Sunset fire. These were fires that burned this year,

147
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 5: also not as significant as Palisades are Eaten, but those

148
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 5: burn scars are still problematic and potentially dangerous. So even

149
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 5: after the flames are put out and all these months later,

150
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 5: those areas can still pose a problem to folks. And

151
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: that's what we're watching right now, is to see if

152
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 5: there's any sliding or any potential damage down the road.

153
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. This is the unknown.

154
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: This is the first real winter rain storm to affect

155
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: these areas. After having had you know, the topography forever changed.

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: So you're absolutely right. This is a this is a

157
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: learning process, and so far, so good. Michael Monks from

158
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: the KFI newsroom, thanks so much for coming on. We

159
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: appreciate the update. My pleasure.

160
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Lou.

161
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, I want to talk

162
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: a little bit about the storm channels and the storm.

163
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: There's a story out of San Francisco. San Francisco also

164
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: got wet. I mean, the storm pretty much hit all

165
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: of coastal California and inland southern California, and the mayor

166
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: of San Francisco catching a little heat.

167
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: He came out in a public.

168
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: Service message and asked people to adopt a storm drain

169
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: and keep an eye on it, which I thought was

170
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: a pretty good idea.

171
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: But he's getting all kinds of blowback. We'll share that

172
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: story with you.

173
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: Coming up next to Lou Penrose, if of John Coblt

174
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: on the John Coblt Show.

175
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

176
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 6: six forty.

177
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt, speaking of the rain

178
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: and the storm drains and the flooding. And I did

179
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: see flooding in North Hollywood. Some video here courtesy of KTLA.

180
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: This car is almost floating and that's from this morning.

181
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: So rain gathers quickly. They talk about inches. But because

182
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: of the topography, because of the way the land is,

183
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: and because of the way the water can collect in areas, and.

184
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: You've seen this happen.

185
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: Like you can go to just a street corner, one

186
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: corner of the street, across the street is dry. The

187
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: other side of the street in Los Angeles and you're

188
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: up to your knees in water. And it's not because

189
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: there isn't a drain. There is a drain there. So

190
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: it's just the uniqueness of the topography because it doesn't

191
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: rain that often, so we.

192
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Don't have to prepare, like you know, it's Portland, Oregon.

193
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: But there is.

194
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: Like an effort in some parts of the state. This

195
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 3: is out of San Francisco. The mayor there, Mayor Daniel Laurie,

196
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 3: new mayor, has an adopt a drain program and he's

197
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: getting some blowback. People think that, oh, my goodness, is

198
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: the highest taxes anywhere in the state and they are

199
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: now asking you.

200
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: The mayor's out there asking you to adopt a drain.

201
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: But what he was doing.

202
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: He adopted a couple of draams, and he filmed himself

203
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: today in a public service announcement.

204
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Now he is up to his knees. He's not wearing waiters.

205
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: He should be wearing some kind of rubber boots, otherwise

206
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: his shoes are ruined. But he's in one of these

207
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: very typical areas that we see all the time in

208
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: North Hollywood, in all kinds of areas.

209
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Now where I used to live in Venice, this happens.

210
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: It's just uneven and water collects at the lowest level.

211
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: And again, there could be one area where there's just

212
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: all the water collects and the water isn't going down

213
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: because the drain is clogged by a piece of a

214
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: palm tree. And he says, we all know our areas,

215
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: we all know where that is likely to happen.

216
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: Please register.

217
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: At my adopt a Drain program, and then when it rains,

218
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: you go keep an eye in your drain.

219
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 7: We need your health. TPW is outworking really hard first

220
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 7: rain of the season. They do incredible work, but sometimes

221
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 7: all of that's pitching in to make a huge difference.

222
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: You can adopt your drain.

223
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 7: We've cleared us you and I'm telling you incredibly satisfying.

224
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: Now, but it is satisfying, especially if the water goes

225
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 3: down the drain instead of into your house. So he's

226
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: got an adopt the drain program and he's urging people

227
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: of San Francisco to be part of it. Here is

228
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,479
Speaker 3: one one person, one critic on social media. San Franciscos

229
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: crack me up. They pay the highest amount of taxes

230
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: and the cities can't even provide them with working drains.

231
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 3: They need to have an adopt a drain program. What's next,

232
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: adopt the fentanyl attic? Now, I don't think you have

233
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 3: to adopt the fentanyl addict. So water moves fast, and

234
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: you could triple the size of the Department of Water

235
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: and Power or in any city, and they're not going

236
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: to keep up with the water.

237
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: If the drain is clogged.

238
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: How many people do you think are out there with

239
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: brooms removing the stuff in the way.

240
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: So this is kind of simple.

241
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: But as soon as there's a lot of water and

242
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: you have a little river going, that river will pick

243
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: up whatever debris is in along the curb, or maybe

244
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: a little rock or some paper or a newspaper or

245
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: a New York Times still wrapped up in plastic or

246
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles times wrapped up in plastic, and it only

247
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: takes a little bit of that and one palm tree part,

248
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: just a piece of wood, piece of bark, the front

249
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: from itself, and all of a sudden, now a storm

250
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: drain that could have collected a lot of water is

251
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: all being passed by, and now the next.

252
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Lowest point becomes flooded.

253
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: And then the next thing you know, it's eating away

254
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: at a burm, and now it's rolling into the front

255
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: of somebody's business or into somebody's if it's in a residential,

256
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: it's down now going into somebody's garage door, and like

257
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: water causes damage. So it is like, I don't know

258
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: why that is so offensive to have the mayor. I

259
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: get it, it's a progressive mayor, it's a progressive city.

260
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: But that's not a terrible idea to say, hey, go

261
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: keep an eye on the storm drain in front of

262
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: your house or in front of your business, and if

263
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: you want to like register and be the person in

264
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: charge of it, that'd be great because then we know

265
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: it would be covered and we can direct resources to

266
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: where we are.

267
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Hearing this flooding. And nobody's adopted a storm drain.

268
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: Those are the kinds of outside the box ideas that

269
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: I rely on when you want to become a mayor

270
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: of a major city. I give him credit not seeing

271
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: a lot out of the new mayor of the city

272
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: in County of San Francisco. I remember the campaign, but

273
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 3: it was somewhat less crazy than all the other candidates,

274
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: so I was.

275
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Kind of rooting for him.

276
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: And now I like him even more, And now that

277
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: makes me want to learn more about whatever policies he has.

278
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: I'm sure most of them will be ridiculous, but that

279
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: one I thought was pretty good, and I think that's

280
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: unfair criticism.

281
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: Adopt the drain, what's next? Adopt the fentanyl addict.

282
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: No, but if you know that there's a fentanyl addict

283
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 3: always in front of your business, then like call somebody.

284
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: If you know the storm drain in front of your

285
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: business always gets clogged because there's always a lot of

286
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 3: loose dirt around it, or there's a bunch of planters

287
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: and it carries a bunch of dirt. Like go and

288
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: clean it out yourself. And the water damage that you

289
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 3: say might be your own. All right, when we come back,

290
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: we have to talk about this. Absolutely crazy story of

291
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: the Romney family. So terrible tragedy and the death of

292
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: Carrie Romney, and we don't exactly know what happened, and

293
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 3: we do know that she was found on the ground.

294
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Next to a multi story parking.

295
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: Garage, and they're being pretty tight lipped about exactly what happened,

296
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: but we do know some of the details about her

297
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: and that she was most recently going through a divorce.

298
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: By Scott Romney.

299
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,239
Speaker 3: Now Scott Romney is the father of Ronna Romney McDaniel,

300
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: So some of the details are a little fishy. We'll

301
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: give them to you and you can draw conclusions yourself.

302
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose on the John Cobalt Show.

303
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A

304
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 6: six forty.

305
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Covelt this week talking about.

306
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 8: The rain regarding the adopted Draine idea great idea, but

307
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 8: signing up and registering, I think that could be a

308
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 8: liability issue if for some reason you can't keep the

309
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 8: drain clear for that maybe you're out of town, maybe

310
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 8: you're sick or something, and somebody gets into a car

311
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 8: accident because there's a big bunch of water and it

312
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 8: caused a car to spin and somebody got hurt, perhaps

313
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 8: you could be liable.

314
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: Wow, you sound like my wife, all right, So that

315
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: means we can't have any neighborhood watch programs because if

316
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: you go on vacation and somebody breaks into your neighbor's

317
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: car and you were supposed to be on duty at

318
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: the neighborhood watch program, that's.

319
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: All he's talking about. He's just saying, Hey, you know

320
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: where you live.

321
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: You know, if water forms a puddle every time it

322
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: rains and there's a storm drain there, why don't you

323
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: go down there with a broom and sweep the tree

324
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: branches out in front so the drain can work like

325
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: a drain. That's and if you agree to do that,

326
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: sign up so that the Department of Water and Power

327
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: in San Francisco knows that you agree to do that.

328
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Now, if it's still clogs because you were out of town,

329
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: then it clogs.

330
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: But it was going to clog, whether you were out

331
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: of town or you just decided to wait for the

332
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: people at the water department to come and clean it.

333
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: But if nobody does anything.

334
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: And the water builds up and then all of a sudden,

335
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: redaverts and goes down into your neighbor's driveway and through

336
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: his garage and ruins all his drywall that would have

337
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: been averted if somebody just moves some of the garbage

338
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: in front of the storm drain, or if you can't,

339
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: then you keep an eye on it and then call

340
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: and say, hey, really becoming a lake over here, somebody.

341
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: I can't get in there.

342
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm too worried about it, Like it's not that complicated,

343
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: And I don't understand the blowback.

344
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 8: What is the.

345
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 9: Residents supposed to do risk their lives to impy this

346
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 9: drain or are they supposed to call somebody at this

347
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 9: point from the city. I just don't really understand what

348
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 9: a lay person is going to get done.

349
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: Oh my, uh, you've never seen a wet news paper

350
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: stopping water from going down the drain Like this has

351
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: never happened to you. You never had a newspaper on

352
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: your driveway, And now the sprinklers are all not going

353
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: where they're supposed to go, and all the water is

354
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: going toward your garage or toward your door.

355
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: You don't think you can handle it a lay person.

356
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to part the red sea.

357
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm just saying if you know of a drain that

358
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: doesn't always drain around this time in southern California when

359
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: it rains, then go tell somebody at the water district.

360
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: And if you can keep it clear, then take a

361
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: second and go keep it clear.

362
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: Especially if it's a forecasted rain, because that's what they do,

363
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: you know, when that's what the forecast is for, so

364
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: that we can go prepare and make sure that they

365
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 3: know where the big drains are. But it we're talk

366
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: about small ones like the little gutters that could be

367
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 3: obstructed by a wet Los Angeles times.

368
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: Not a big deal.

369
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 3: Here's the mayor again, this again, Mayor of Los Angeles

370
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 3: to a city accounting, we.

371
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 7: Need your health. TPW is outworking really hard his first

372
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 7: brain and a season. They do incredible work, but sometimes

373
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 7: all that's pitching in can make a huge difference. You

374
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 7: can adopt your brain and clear that you and I'm

375
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 7: telling you incredibly satisfying.

376
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, very satisfying.

377
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: Saves the city time and money and could prevent a

378
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: lot of property damage.

379
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: But don't get involved.

380
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: If you think you're gonna get sued or you can't

381
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 3: handle it, let somebody else get involved. So this is

382
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 3: the statement from Mitt Romney. Our family is heartbroken by

383
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: the loss of Carrie, who brought warmth and love to

384
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: all of our lives. We ask for privacy during this

385
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: difficult time, very very strange situation.

386
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 10: Public records revealed the woman found dead near a shopping

387
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 10: center is Carrie Elizabeth Romney, the sister in law of

388
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 10: Mitt Romney. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department found the

389
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 10: sixty four year old on the street by a parking

390
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 10: garage in Santa Clarita.

391
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: So that's curious to me. I worked on the Romney campaign.

392
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: I've come to know the Romney family pretty well. There's

393
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: a lot of them, and they're wonderful people. Not a

394
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: huge fan of the way the Romney political career ended,

395
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 3: but I was a huge.

396
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: Fan of the way it started.

397
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: And my boss was an early Romney supporter in the

398
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 3: primary in two thousand and eight, so he was an

399
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: early Romney supporter. And in twenty twelve I was one

400
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: of the delegates for Romney. He lost to Obama and

401
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: then got sideways and developed Trump arrangement syndrome. But nevertheless,

402
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: a really an amazing political family and just an amazing family,

403
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: just very very strong people and very interesting people and

404
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: a very very tight family. So number one, sixty four

405
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: year old Romney's don't travel alone. There's always a helper,

406
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: there's always people. There are family, certainly their family. They're lds,

407
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: so they must have somebody that can drive in the family.

408
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 3: That's number one, eight thirty at night, Friday night, alone,

409
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: sixty four years old Hiatt Regency Hotel, Santa Clarita. And

410
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 3: she was on the ground and the car may have

411
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: been on the second story, so it is unclear if

412
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: she fell or jumped, but absolutely tragic. So Carrie Romney

413
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: was married to Scott Romney. That's Mitt's older brother, Scott

414
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 3: Romney eighty one. There was like a seventeen year difference

415
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 3: in age between these two and they began divorce proceedings

416
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: in June.

417
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: They only had been married eight years.

418
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: And just to kind of put this in contemporary perspective,

419
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: because this is not interesting to anybody.

420
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: This is so.

421
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: Scott Romney was Rona Romney, McDaniel's father. Let's see here

422
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: they are fouled for divorce June tenth, eight years of marriage.

423
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: Irreconcilable differences and one of the issues that was holding

424
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 3: up the divorce besides an agreement on spousal support, which

425
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: there always will be. Was Scott Romney wanted his ex

426
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: wife to go back to her maiden name. He didn't

427
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: want her being a Romney anymore. And that's all we know.

428
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: But the I guess the body has been released to

429
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: the Romney family, but the further information is not available

430
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: until toxicology reports come out.

431
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: Absolute tragedy, but a little strange.

432
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: Every once in a while, there are one of these

433
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: stories where and I'm not a newsperson, I'm a talk

434
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: show host, but I spend so much time in the

435
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: newsroom with all these news people and they have like.

436
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: A sixth sense on stuff, and I think I've picked

437
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: it up a little bit.

438
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: Every once in a while, there's something about a story

439
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: that just ain't right. And this is one of the

440
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 3: stories that it just ain't right. There's something missing, So

441
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: we'll wait and see what the with the rest of

442
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: that story is.

443
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: Louke Penrose on the John Coblt Show.

444
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Coblt on demand from KFI AM

445
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 6: six forty.

446
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: COBLT out this week. Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt

447
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: all this week. Good to be with you. Nobody was

448
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: asked to go online, sign.

449
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 4: Up and take responsibility for a storm drain.

450
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: The adopted drane was basically, keep an eye out, go out,

451
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: clean it up if you see it plugged.

452
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: That's all it was.

453
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: And I still think it's a good idea. And I

454
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: don't know why that's a problem.

455
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: What's the newspaper now, that's funny.

456
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 11: I just don't understand these talkbacks that you're getting, man,

457
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 11: I mean, these people don't want to be responsible for

458
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 11: protecting their own property when the city's not going to

459
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 11: do it. I mean, I'd protect my own property for

460
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 11: God's sake.

461
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: Man, it's a friggin drain. If it's too dangerous, don't

462
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 4: do it. If it's safe, go for it. Protect your property.

463
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the person that benefits the most is you, or

464
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: your neighbor or the people on your block.

465
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: It's not that big of a deal.

466
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: Again, no one suggested you hire a crane.

467
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: But things collect right around the storm drain.

468
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 3: Storm drains are purposely put at the lowest level of

469
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: the area because that's where the water goes, so they

470
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: want the storm drain there first, and then when the

471
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: water goes to where the storm drain is then the

472
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: water goes away, and that's a good thing.

473
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: Water collecting in a torrential deluge.

474
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 3: Like we had earlier today, bad water going down the drain,

475
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: good branches, trees and wet right us and garbage and

476
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: things that homeless people leave behind. Because the homeless, they

477
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: really they scram when the rain comes, no question about it.

478
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes they leave some of their campsite behind. They don't

479
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: always police as well as we would like. Not everybody's

480
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: a good camper, And sometimes some wet blanket or some

481
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: piece of rug gets caught up in the deluge and

482
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: covers the drain and guess what, a perfectly good infrastructure

483
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: is now completely useless. So that's all the mayor was suggesting,

484
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: like adopt your local drain, like keep an eye out

485
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: for the drain near your business or near your house.

486
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: Nobody's compelling you to do it.

487
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: That's what we.

488
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 9: Pay taxes for. I don't understand why a resident, anybody's

489
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 9: supposed to be in charge of the gutter system and

490
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 9: the drainage system in their neighborhoods. I mean, I get

491
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 9: the whole community thing, and I get it, but I

492
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 9: think the world's too big, and I think we shouldn't

493
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 9: be in charge of the storm gutters.

494
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: All right, I give up, check meate.

495
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 3: Just go ahead and have the water come in and

496
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: damage all your dry wall and ruin everything, and then

497
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: try and get an appointment with somebody to come and

498
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 3: dry out the dry wall and get that all put in.

499
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: See how how long that takes?

500
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: All right, Well, the cease fire in that area of

501
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: the world is not twenty four hours old. And already

502
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: the concern that I had at the beginning that why

503
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: are we allowing anything but unconditional surrender? My concerns had

504
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: been just completely confirmed.

505
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: A Palestinian terror group.

506
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: Executed eight people on a busy street in Gaza City.

507
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: This is not I shouldn't be laughing. It's ridiculous. I mean,

508
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: these are the people that we're dealing with. Following the

509
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 3: Israeli Defense forces withdrawal, Hamas quickly look to reassert its

510
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 3: control over Gaza and targeted clans.

511
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: They live in clans over there. That's how they all

512
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: get together.

513
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: They have clans there, and as soon as the Israeli

514
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: Defense Force withdrew, then the strongest clan took hold of

515
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: the second strongest clan and line them up in the

516
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: daylight in the middle of the street in this in

517
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: Gaza City and filmed it. And now we see that

518
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 3: the people that are back in charge of that area

519
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: are just not save people. AMAS militants reportedly used ambulances

520
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: to storm the neighborhoods of the clan who they accused

521
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 3: collaborated with Israel. So there is a cease fire, I guess,

522
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 3: between the western world, Israel and these terrorists in Gaza.

523
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: But I don't think the hurt feelings are over, and

524
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: I think we will continue to have just a problem

525
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 3: or to but we'll keep it play. Hey, great day

526
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: today on the rain, lots of great coverage. I know

527
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 3: a lot of people are still on evacuation orders, and

528
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: there are still areas of North County and San Diego

529
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: and parts of San Diego that are getting rain, and

530
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: still some pockets of rain out in San Bernardino. But

531
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: for the first big winter storm of southern California after

532
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 3: a major fire, a number of major fires, I think

533
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 3: everything was handled very very well, and we the forecast

534
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: proved to be accurate, and everybody was prepared and we

535
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: took heat.

536
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: The biggest problem, of course is the freeways.

537
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: And the commute, but that's going to be the way

538
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 3: it's going to be now for another couple of hours,

539
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: so just stay tuned to KFIM six forty. It was

540
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 3: an early season storm, and you heard Michael Monks earlier

541
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: that this was an unprecedented storm. National Weather Service had

542
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: to issue a flash flood warning at seven point forty

543
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: this morning in Los Angeles and Ventura County. And why

544
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 3: they can't figure out how to make that guy's voice

545
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 3: sound a little bit more like a normal person, I'll

546
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 3: never know. We're in the broadcasting business. There's a bunch

547
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: of radio people in this building with the world's most

548
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: delicious voices, and they have like this electronic guy telling

549
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: you that you're about to get flooded. So somebody needs

550
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 3: to work on that. I know the National Weather Service

551
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 3: they're busy looking at satellite images. They probably don't have

552
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: a broadcast guy or a creative guy or an imaging

553
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: guy in their employee. But sometimes I just hear beeps

554
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: and buzzes and long pauses on KFI and I'm waiting

555
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: to hear where the flood is, and it's a lot

556
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: of background noise. I mean, it's quite astounding when you

557
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: consider that this is our mass communication, and this is

558
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: the way we're trying to get important information about flash flooding,

559
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: and it's impossible to hear the voice.

560
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know who's in charge of that. Somebody

561
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: back in DC.

562
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure maybe that guy had maybe he has been furloughed.

563
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: Apparently everyone else has been.

564
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 12: The federal agency's impacted by the mass layoffs include the

565
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 12: Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing

566
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 12: and Urban Development, Homeland Security, and the Treasury Department. The

567
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 12: multiple sources at the Department of Education tell us CNN

568
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 12: the latest round of mass layoffs have decimated the office.

569
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: So we'll see how long this government shutdown maintains. It's

570
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: day fourteen. My prediction is this will be over by

571
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: the end of the week. We already have fifty five

572
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: US Senators we need sixty, and one Democrat has joined

573
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: with the fifty three Republicans and one independent. There is

574
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: another independent in the United States Senate, so technically that

575
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 3: should be somebody that might be easy to peel off.

576
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: So that'll bring the number down to four. And I

577
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: just think TikTok, TikTok, and I think that will be

578
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: a win, and then we can move on to begin

579
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: to do other things as we enter into fall, and

580
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: fall is supposed to be fun time, so governments supposed

581
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: to be done. Government should be a journ. September thirtyth

582
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: is supposed to be the end. It's not an election year.

583
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: We should be free from all the DC talk for

584
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: just a couple of months so we can talk about

585
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: really important things like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

586
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: That's really what Americans want to talk about. A little

587
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: departure from the chaos of DC would be I think

588
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: a welcome time, a welcome president for this time of year.

589
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,959
