1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: and then after four o'clock. Whatever you missed John Cobelt's 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: show on demand on the iHeart app. It's the podcast 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: version and I'll be posted shortly after four o'clock. Let's 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 2: get Roger Bailey on here. He's an attorney. We have 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: had him on a number of times already. He's involved 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: in lawsuits representing Palisades residents against the LADWP because of 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: the fire. You know, there's two fronts to this legal fight. 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: One is the infamous reservoir that was empty, and then 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: there were LAEDWP power lines that collapsed on brush and 13 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 2: started a second fire, and that happened twelve hours after 14 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: the start of the original fire. So this may have 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: come in two waves and both lead to LA d 16 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: WP culpability. Let's get Roger Bailey on here, because there 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 2: are a couple of judges now that have joined the 18 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: lawsuit after losing their homes. Roger, how are you? 19 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: I'm good? John, how you doing? 20 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm good? 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: You got Jay Gandhi, a retired federal judge and he's 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: got a background as mediating settlements when it comes to wildfires. 23 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: So I found it. 24 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: Interesting that he joined the lawsuit because with his legal mind, 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 2: his specific experience, you know, he must have seen something 26 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: in all the information that's being gathered that convinced him 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: that DWP is the central figure. If you're looking for culpability, 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: talk about that. 29 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: Sure, So you're right, Judge j. Gandhi, retired federal magistrate 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: judge lost his home in the Palisades. And as you noted, 31 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: Judge Gandhi had historically served as a mediator for several 32 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: of the local wildfires in southern California. And as we've 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: often said, wildfire doesn't discriminate. So you know, judges, mediators, 34 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 3: and people from all walks of life may find themselves 35 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 3: the victims of a wildfire. So Judge Gandhi lost his home. 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: Another federal judge, Judgejan Pragerson, lost his home. Both Judge 37 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: Gandhi and Judge Pragerson have hired our firm to represent 38 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: them at our claims. 39 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: He disappeared, all right, he went out. We'll get Roger 40 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: Bailey back on now. Gandhi is quoted to saying a 41 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: news story that he thought the fire was preventable. And 42 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: let's get Roger Bailey back on there. Continue continue. Yeah, 43 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry there a phone just flipped out. 44 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know where I lost you. But 45 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: Judge Gandhi and Judge Dean Pragerson, another federal judge, have 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: hired our firm to represent them in our case against 47 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: the LEDWP. We had the first hearing last week with 48 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: the State Superior Court and Judge Stuart Rice is presiding 49 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: over the case. And we're going to be in front 50 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: of Judge Rice every thirty days. He's going to keep 51 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: post tabs on this and make sure things are moving quickly. 52 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: And the dtail WP is arguing that they're insulated from 53 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: a lawsuit like this because of a case from over 54 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 2: one hundred years ago. 55 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they brought up this case from nineteen to eleven. 56 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: I guess that's the only thing they could find something 57 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen years old. But if you look 58 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: at that case, it's all about contract and you know, 59 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: contracting for water. Rice nothing like we have here. I mean, 60 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: they ran out of water, you know, the situation with 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: the reservoir gets worse. They said they repair it. Now 62 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: it's back out of commission again. Yeah, they just can't 63 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: get it right. I mean I refer to the DWP 64 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: as incompetence redefined. It just continually can't seem to get 65 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: anything right. And yeah, it's out of commission again. And 66 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: as you noted, we've got the problems with the power system. 67 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: They claimed was abandoned, and then they reversed that and 68 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: said no, actually the lines were energized, and those energized 69 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: lines fell into homes, transformers exploded, caused other spot fires. 70 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: So we have a multitude of independently started fires by 71 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: the DWP's electrical equipment and to compound that in the 72 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: water to put them out right. 73 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: So there was like two waves of fires. There was 74 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: the morning fire and then there was the evening fire, 75 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: which came from the transmission lines falling and the transformers exploding. 76 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, we had, like I said, some of 77 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 3: these fires started up in the hills above the Palisades, 78 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: above the Semescal Canyon water tank. Others happened and the 79 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: Palisades proper where overhead power lines above homes you know, 80 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: were exploding, transformers were exploding and starting all these independent 81 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 3: spot fires. So you had a series of fires that 82 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: converged into one massive fire and burned everything down. 83 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: West Side Current had a story and said that the 84 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: insurance companies pulled out not too long before the fire. 85 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: What did they know, like State Farm canceled seventy percent 86 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: of their insurance policies. Did they do an investigation and decide, Oh, 87 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: this place is going to blow and decided to mitigate 88 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: the losses in advance. 89 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I don't know what they knew or 90 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 3: didn't know, But one thing I can tell you is 91 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: the response we've heard from the DWP is that the 92 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: Palisades wasn't a fire prone area, There wasn't a high 93 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: risk of fire, weren't really in need of that much 94 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 3: water because it was the Palisades. But what did State 95 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 3: Farm and some of the other insurance carriers know that 96 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: prompted them to pull out on mass You know, what 97 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 3: data did they have that said the Palisades was at 98 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: risk for fire? And it certainly doesn't square with the 99 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: DWP's version, which is, you know, the Palisades was somehow 100 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: immune from this type of disaster. 101 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: Well, it must have done some kind of observation about 102 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: brush not being cleared, the reservoir being empty. I mean, 103 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: insurance companies don't pull out unless in advance, unless they 104 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: think they're going to suffer a massive loss. And they 105 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: decided an entire area is now uninsurable. So they knew 106 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: this months in advance, and the public didn't. 107 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, the public was left clueless. I mean, we've had wildfires, 108 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 3: you know, throughout the area Malibu, the Woolseyfire being one 109 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: of the more recent fires. So it's not as if 110 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: coastal California hasn't seen wildfire. And you're right, the insurance 111 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: and folks likely studied the risks and determined it wasn't 112 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: worth and start canceling policies for sourcing. Many homeowners to 113 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: go with this California Fair Plan, which many of them 114 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: found left them dramatically under insured. 115 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Fair Plan has has a hard cap on 116 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: how much money they're going to pay out, and it 117 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: didn't cover many of the homes that were forced to 118 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: use it for insurance. 119 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: It didn't cover. 120 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: Full three million bucks as the max. Yeah, three million 121 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: bucks is the max. And many homes in the Palasades, 122 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: as you know, five million, ten million, and with only 123 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: three million dollars of insurance, you're underwater pretty heavily. 124 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: What a disaster. 125 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: I mean, just I mean, what a disaster from all ends, 126 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: even in the insurance it turns out to be. 127 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: An absurd situation for these poor people. It's just awful. 128 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: All right. 129 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: So this this obviously me a long, long running taste. 130 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: Please keep us informed with what goes on. 131 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: Absolutely, will you know as I get information, I'd let 132 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: you guys know. You're always one of my first calls. 133 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: All right, Very good, Roger Bailey, And he's the attorney 134 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: for a group of Palisage residents, including two new clients, 135 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: who one was a judge, retired federal judge Jay Gandhi 136 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: who's joined the cases actually joined the legal team too, 137 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: and also Judge Dean Pregerson. And like I said, when 138 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: you have when you have federal judges saying I want 139 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: to be part of this lawsuit against the d w 140 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: P because in their experience, they see where this is going, 141 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: they know who's responsible. More coming up on this because 142 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: I want to reference that West Side Current story that 143 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: had the information about the insurance companies pulling out. And 144 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: also they've got some interesting information about the draining of 145 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: the reservoir. Apparently it created quite a stream last summer 146 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: when they drained the reservoir and everybody was wondering, well, 147 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: what's going on here? Little did they know what it 148 00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: was a sign of. 149 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A M. 150 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: Six forty. 151 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: We're just talking with Roger Bailey. He's representing many Palisades 152 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: residents in the fire, and he's now representing two judges. 153 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: One of them has a lot of experience in mediation 154 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 2: with wildfire claims, and uh, Jay Gandhi is his name. 155 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 2: Dean Pregerson is the name of the other federal judge, 156 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: and uh, they're they're the reason they joined the lawsuit 157 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,119 Speaker 2: against d w P. I think is because of their experience, 158 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: they can they can see who's responsible for this disaster. 159 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: And they still don't know what started the first fire, 160 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: which is why the ATF federal government is doing a 161 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: two day controlled burn to try to figure out why 162 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: the fire started. And then the second part of this, well, 163 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: I guess three parts. Second part is there was a 164 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: wave of fires started by downed power lines because the 165 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: DWP didn't turn off the power twelve hours after the 166 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: first fire began, and so when these power poles collapsed 167 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: and the lines hit the dry vegetation and transformers then 168 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: burst into flames, a whole new wave of fires, and 169 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: then Part three is all along. The DWP's main reservoir 170 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: was empty and the West Side Current has a really 171 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: fascinating story. Between February and March of twenty twenty four, 172 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 2: it's just a little over a year ago, Los Angeles 173 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: received a historically high amount of rainfall. Remember this, Billions 174 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: of gallons of water filled county reservoirs and lakes for 175 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: the first time in almost a decade. 176 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: The only thing not filled. 177 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 2: Was the Sant Dienez Reservoir in the Palisades because it 178 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: was closed because. 179 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: They found torn a torn cover. 180 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: Now I have to reiterate this, for forty years that 181 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: reservoir existed without a cover because the reservoir was for 182 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: fire protection. It wasn't used for drinking water. It was 183 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: a backup situation. Rarely, if ever, wasn't used for drinking water, 184 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: they had other supplies. It was meant to fight fires. 185 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 2: So they're getting billions of gallons of rainfall. In the meantime, 186 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: the reservoirs closed, and five months later, as the drought 187 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 2: set in, people who live along Chautauqua Boulevard reported seeing 188 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: water flowing down their street. Betsy Handler lived there. She 189 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: lost her home in the fire, and she said, I 190 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: couldn't believe they weren't capturing the water from the drain somehow. 191 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 2: It was one of the biggest wastes I've ever seen. 192 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 2: Another resident followed the stream of water up Chautaque Boulevard, 193 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: walking past cars. The water had collected high enough was 194 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: above the tires, and she found a group of LEDWP 195 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 2: workers and they apologized for the inconvenience. And she's asking, 196 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: why is the reservoir getting drained? Why is the water 197 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: piling up here? And they just kept saying this had 198 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: to be done and it was going to be repaired. 199 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: I couldn't understand why there wasn't another way to drain 200 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: it while saving the water. So they had all this water, 201 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: they drained it, they didn't collect it, they didn't reroute it, 202 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: they just drained it, and then they left it empty 203 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: for a year over a torn pool cover that isn't 204 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: needed anyway. They claimed there was some regulation after forty years, 205 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: and it's I it makes no sense. They re Westside 206 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: Current reached out to LEDWP. Oh good luck with that. 207 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: On whether the Chautaqua Reservoir had been empty during the 208 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: summer of the previous year. I guess there's a there's 209 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: another reservoir there, the Chautauqua Reservoir, and that had been 210 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 2: retired for more than a decade and. 211 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: Was no longer used. 212 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: Why now yet two reservoirs that were empty at the 213 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: start of the fire, two the Santa Nez Reservoir and 214 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: the Chautauqua Reservoir. And in two thousand and nine, the 215 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: Santinez Reservoir was closed because they had another tear the cover. 216 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: And one of the main concerns listed on the legal 217 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: paperwork for this project was water supply resources in the 218 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 2: instance of a fire. So they had it in black 219 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 2: and white on their paperwork that that's why this reservoir existed. 220 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: And now they're denying it. Now they're saying no, no, 221 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: it's for drinking water. Now nobody used it for drinking water. 222 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: They have a drinking water supply sod DWP is lying 223 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: like crazy. So are their lawyers, and so were the executives, 224 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: and so were the people on the board. They're trying 225 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: to come up with a cover story because, as I 226 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: mentioned before, the lawsuit looks like it could cost them 227 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: between twenty and one hundred billion dollars. 228 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: God, they should all be fired, shouldn't They shouldn't? Every mean? 229 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: I mean they should the Bass City Council, who's ever 230 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: got the power here or to fire all these people? 231 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: And Bass in the city council ought to be fired 232 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: as well. I mean, these people are incompetent, dangerous boobs. 233 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: People died, billion and billions of dollars worth of homes 234 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: are gone. The insurance companies pulled out a few months 235 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: before they saw what was coming. Boy, I'd like to 236 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: see an investigation as. 237 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: To what they knew. And I'm not blaming them. 238 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: There's no law that says you have to ensure an 239 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: area that is gonna bankrupt your company. 240 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Did everyone have. 241 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: Their brains removed at the DWP and at city Hall 242 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 2: and in the mayor's office? Seriously? Were they handing out 243 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: mass lobotomies? Nice? I don't understand. I don't understand anything. 244 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: All right, coming up, I want to play you. There 245 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 2: was one of those contentious interviews Trump had with Terry 246 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: Moran from ABC News. He's their senior national correspondent. Still 247 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: obsessed over that illegal alien wife beating gang member kill 248 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: maar Abrego Garcia that they said to l Salvador.

Let's say 265 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 2: you're a middle aged guy and you're in the mood 266 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: for a sixteen year old. They don't think it should 267 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: be a felony. If you go and buy a girl 268 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: off the street sixteen and I cannot possibly understand this. 269 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is trying to get involved in correcting this legislation. 270 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: It's just. 271 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 2: And the Democrats are all outraged and incensed that they're 272 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 2: being put into this embarrassing position.

And again I say, 275 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: what are these guys doing at night? Why are they 276 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: so passionate about not making this a felony? Why is 277 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: this such a priority. All right, we'll talk to Carl 278 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: Demayo after three o'clock. He's the assemblyman, the Republican who's 279 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: got to deal with this nonsense. So Trump has been 280 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: on one hundred day tour, and by far the most 281 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: overwhelming success is he shut down the border. For years, 282 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: we were fed a load of garbage by Democrats and Republicans. 283 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: I had a few Republicans on this show saying, well, 284 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: we need comprehensive reform and we need to go for 285 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: the root causes. We've got to send money to help 286 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: these emerging countries. No, you just have to close the border. 287 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: Well you can't really do that, you know, they'll just 288 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: climb over the wall. I don't know Trump did it 289 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: like in a day. They were lying. They were people 290 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: lying to me for twenty years coming on this show. 291 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 2: They were lying booth parties. So now he did it. 292 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 2: And out of the thousands and thousands of criminal illegal 293 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 2: aliens that's been deported, they're focusing on the one guy, 294 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: Kilmore Abrego Garcia. He's the one that hysterical senator from 295 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: Maryland flew to help him break out of the Salvador 296 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: in prison.

But Trump didn't go through the traditional process. 299 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 2: And Trump is saying, it's like, well, wait a second, 300 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 2: Biden let in like millions of illegal aliens in four years, 301 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 2: How the hell are you going to process all these people. 302 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: Everybody can't have a hearing, everybody can't have a trial. 303 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: It's impossible, which of course was the design, right You 304 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 2: let in millions of illegal aliens.

By the way, there's something 510 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: in Daniel Guss's colum about her phony maloney inside Safe program. 511 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: Do you know she refuses to allow an audit. 512 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 2: The city controller, Kenneth Mahea, wants to audit inside Safe. 513 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: She says no. Now Mahia is a full blown socialist. 514 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: I mean, actually, you know it's publicly announced he's a socialist. 515 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 2: But he's been doing more damage with his audits to 516 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: the reputation of Bass and to LASA. Because Mahea audited 517 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: LASA and found a lot of money missing, and Mahea 518 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: wants to audit inside Safe. I wonder what he does, 519 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: What does he know? What has he heard? There must 520 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: be a reason, of course, there's a reason he knows stuff. 521 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: He's heard stuff. He wants to see if it's true. 522 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: He may run for mayor. The freaking socialists are making 523 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: more sense. But but this is out right. Yeah, I 524 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 2: want to see federal funding gets cut to for public 525 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: safety programs here and uh, Bass is okay with that. 526 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 2: Got to protect the illegal aliens. Wow, she is way way, 527 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 2: way far left, I mean, Jess, But you know what 528 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 2: people glossed over this was she was a huge fan 529 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 2: of Fidel Castro.

In fact, that's what 532 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: kept her from being nominated for vice president. The reason 533 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 2: that Bass went for Kamala Harris over the reason Biden 534 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: went for Kamala Harris over bass Is. Bass was tweeting 535 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 2: how sad she was that Castro had died, and then 536 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: they started investigating her background and finding, oh, my gosh, 537 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 2: she was in all these weird subversive left wing communist 538 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: pro Castro groups traveling to Cuba frequently back in the seventies. 539 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,719 Speaker 2: And the Biden crowd looked at that and said, oh, 540 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: that's gonna be a huge if she's running his vice president. 541 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: And so that's why she didn't get it, and they 542 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 2: went with miss bag of Dorito's.
