We're gonna play that Bill be Lugin piece 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 3: again if you haven't heard it. He went on a 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 3: ride along in Boston with Ice agents and they were 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 3: rounding up just the most heinous people imaginable that were 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 3: living free out in the open here in the United States, 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 3: and along the way, raping and killing some of the residents. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 3: Let's go to the Center for Immigration Studies in Art 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: Arthur to talk about all that's going on. 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: All right, how are you, John?

That, but that guy encapsulated 28 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 3: everything that was wrong. He said, f Trump, Yo, Joe Biden, 29 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: and thanked Obama as well, and thanks Obama forever. I 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: mean that that that that was the problem for the 31 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 3: last four years. 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, everything that President Trump is doing 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: today is you know, has done in the last few days, 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: has been unexceptional. These are the policies that the United 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: States traditionally had, you know, even through the Obama administration. 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: The only difference was that Joe Biden decided to toss out, 37 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, all the things that we knew worked, all 38 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: of the rules that we had followed for decades, and 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: decided to go his own way open the doors of 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: the United States to any and all. We got about 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: ten million new people here, and you could see the 42 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: impacts and cities and towns across the United States. 43 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: Why do you think did the Biden administration do this? 44 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 3: Trump was talking about this today. He kept saying why 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: why would they do this and go ahead, go ahead. 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I actually know the answer to that. In fact, 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: it goes to another thing that President Trump has, you know, 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: dismantled diversity, equity, and inclusion. In a September twenty twenty 49 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: one memo that was issued by DHF Secretary of Alahadra Mayorcis, 50 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: they explained that they had to do these things in 51 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: the interests of equity. They compared the immigration laws of 52 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: the United States to Jim Crow, to the color bar, 53 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: to all of the worst aspects of you know, life 54 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: in the early you know, the late nineteenth early twentieth century, 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, the oppression, the discrimination against African Americans in 56 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: this country, and they decided to treat everybody who showed 57 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: up in the United States the same, you know, the 58 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: same way that they believed every disadvantaged person in this 59 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: country who was born in this country should be treated. 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: It's an exceptional document. I've written about a couple of times, 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: but I don't think anybody believes me because it is 62 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: so exceptional. And they talk about how, you know, we 63 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: need to use prosecutorial discretion to write all these historic ronks. 64 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: You know, when you're talking about people who showed up 65 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: at the United States border, you know a week ago. 66 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: You know, they hadn't been a disadvantage by anything that 67 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: happened in American history. And yes, I mean they're you know, 68 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: the immigration laws of the United States are the most 69 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: generous immigration laws in the world. We accept a million 70 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: people with green cards. Every year, about one hundred and 71 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: eighty million people come as non immigrants, most of them 72 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: tourists come to see beautiful places like Los Angeles and Florida. 73 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: So you know, the idea that you know, somehow the 74 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: immigration laws are discriminatory and that the heavy thumb of 75 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: Alejandro Mayorcis and Joe Biden needed to put be pushed 76 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: down on the scales is just fallacious. But unfortunately that's 77 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: all there was to it. Their attitude is the world's 78 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: a bad place, and we need to make it better 79 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: by opening our doors and inviting everybody in. 80 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't be our oppression that's holding these people back. 81 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 3: It would be the oppression of all these other nations 82 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: that they're coming from. 83 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, And you know, when we talk about our 85 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: generous immigration laws, let's talk about you know, our generous 86 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: foreign aid packages. Billions of dollars a year, and the 87 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: efforts that we engage in and that President Trump will 88 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: engage in, you know, for a rule of law, for 89 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: order in the world. It's curious because one of the 90 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: things that Kamala Harris ran on, she said, you wasn't 91 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: borders are, she was root causes are. Take a look 92 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: at Honduras today. Honduras backed out of a one hundred 93 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: and twelve year old extradition treaty that it had with 94 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: the United States after Kamala Harris went down. There is 95 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: root causes are because there's so much corruption in that country. 96 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: And it's sort of interesting that, you know, major outlets 97 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: never actually followed up on what she had done. But yes, 98 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has established that there's a new day in 99 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: the world and that there's an easy way that countries 100 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: can get along in a hard way, and they really 101 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: don't want to choose the hard way. He said that 102 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: the President putin just yesterday. So the world is odd, 103 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: as it sounds to many Americans, particularly on the left, 104 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: the world has been desperate for leadership. Leadership has now 105 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: re entered the White House. Leadership not just on border 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: and immigration, but on any number of issues, climate change 107 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: and various other things, and the world is going to 108 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: become a better play you know, take a look at 109 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: the climate change issues. John, you know, Chris Wright, who 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: is the dominee to be the Secretary of Energy, says, 111 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: you're looking at the wrong things. We want to make 112 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: the world a richer, happier place. We don't want to 113 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, put artificial limits on you know, energy production, 114 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: you know, so that we can make people, you know, 115 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: impoverished in sadder. So I mean, you know this is 116 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: it's a breadth of fresh air in not just Washington, 117 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: the capitals all around the world. 118 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, burning fossil fuels has made everyone in the world wealthier, 119 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: raised standards of living, pulled people out of poverty by 120 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: the billions. You couldn't do it any other way. To 121 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: return to the way we lived in the eighteen hundreds 122 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 3: would impoverish billions. 123 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: It's it's it's so upside down backwards. 124 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: It's astonishing that anybody buys into this nonsense. 125 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know that's why we call them developing nations, 126 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: and they are going to develop when we you know, 127 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: unleash the great energy that we have in our country, 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, not just you know, oil and natural gas, 129 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: but you know nuclear energy. You know, we innovate and 130 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: we make things cheaper and easier for people to use. 131 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: That's how they're going to pull themselves out of poverty. 132 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: And you know, I quite frankly, I think root causes 133 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: are overblown. But you know, when we make other places better, 134 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: fewer people are going to want to come here illegally. 135 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: They're going to want to come here because we are, 136 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, the world's great innovator. And you know that. 137 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: You know, we have the highest standard of living. Did 138 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: you know that Germany has a lower per capita GDP 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: than Mississippi, the poorest state in the Union. I mean, 140 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: just think about that for a second. So you know, 141 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: we have things good in this country. It's no wonder 142 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: people want to come here. But the focus of this 143 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: administration and its policies is going to be making the 144 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: whole rest of the world better at the same time 145 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: that we raise our own ship. 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: Just getting back to the immigration thing for a minute. Uh, 147 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: there's a New York Times poll eighty seven percent of 148 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: the public supports deporting criminal illegal aliens eighty seven percent, 149 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 3: including eighty three percent of Democrats, of eighty five percent Hispanics. 150 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 3: What Bill Malugen reported on nearly the whole country is cheering. 151 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: This is what. 152 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: I mean. Almost ninety percent of the public wanted and 153 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: Joe Biden was was was giving us the opposite, and 154 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: they weren't, and they wondered why they lost. 155 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: And just to remind you and your listeners, the Biden 156 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: administration sued all the way to the Supreme Court the 157 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: block and effort by Texas to force it to take 158 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: criminal aliens, not just you know, old ladies or grandma's 159 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: or people you know playing with their kids, criminal aliens 160 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: off of the street. It was the official policy of 161 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: the Biden administration that we had to consider, you know, 162 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: your age or whether your mental condition may have led 163 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: to your criminality before we could take you into custody. John, 164 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: we had to consider whether your kid was a Postal 165 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: service worker before we could take you into custody if 166 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: you were a criminal alien. This was the most upside 167 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: down world that I can imagine.

If you read newspapers, you know, especially in 182 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: the National Capital area, the Washington Post, they'll talk about 183 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: migrant crime when they have to. And one of the 184 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: things that you'll see are that a lot of these 185 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: people were engaged in criminality, but the victims never came forward, 186 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: and they never came forward because they knew they lived 187 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: in sanctuary communities and that they those criminals weren't going 188 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: to be taken off the street.

But I'm sure 194 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: that even if you ask the other ones, you know, 195 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: they don't want criminals on their streets. They want safe streets, 196 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: they want safe communities to razor kids. 197 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, who wants rapists and murderers running around their neighborhood, 198 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: raping and murdering their family members, their wives, their daughters, 199 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: their sisters.

They got the 342 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: evacuation notices west of Lake Avenue with primarily black The 343 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: evacuation notices showed up nine hours late east of Lake 344 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: Avenue nobody died. West of Lake Avenue, seventeen people died. 345 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 2: This is bad. 346 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 3: All known deaths from the fire occurred in neighborhoods west 347 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 3: of North Lake Avenue. The orders were issued around three 348 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 3: point thirty in the morning. People saw these flames in 349 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: their backyards at six or seven in the evening the 350 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: night before, La County Sheriff's deputies drove down some streets 351 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: urging people to flee around two am. And according to 352 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 3: one former council member at Altadena named Justin Chapman, who 353 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: now works for a Pasadena council member, I haven't seen 354 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 3: any answers from officials about what happened there. There was 355 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 3: a breakdown of communication somewhere because his family was caught 356 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: up in this. His family got out safely, but it 357 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 3: was close and Errol Arfari Hutchison is president of the 358 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable. He said in a news 359 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: conference today, the officials fumbled the ball badly by not 360 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 3: giving the black neighborhoods in western Alta Dina the evacuation warnings. 361 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 3: The fact is is that parts of Alta Dina that 362 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: were predominantly white they got the warning. African Americans got 363 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: the short end of the stick. It can't argue with 364 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: this stuff. This is what happened. I don't know, I 365 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 3: don't know what's wrong with everything. Hutchinson is calling for 366 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: massive restitution, massive compensation. The failure to issue a timely 367 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 3: warning to the residents and a predominantly African American neighborhood 368 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 3: resulted in colossal property damage, colossal and unnecessary injury and 369 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: loss of life. 370 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: It's all true. 371 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 3: And the NAACP is getting involved in the case as well. 372 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: They say the evacuation alerts are issued through a unified 373 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 3: command that involves the County Office of Emergency Management and 374 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: local agencies, county fire sheriff's departments. And you know, we 375 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 3: went through yesterday about all the malfunctions with the alerts, 376 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 3: county wide alerts when the fire was hitting a small 377 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: section of the region, random alerts going off for no reason, repeatedly, 378 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 3: and just like the DWP and the empty reservoir, just 379 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: like the LA Fire Department not sending the personnel in 380 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 3: the trucks early enough to the Palisades fire. Here in 381 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: out to Dina. Nobody is explaining anything. I mean, how 382 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 3: I news conferences have we run the news conferences, We run, 383 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 3: you know, as a public service, right, we're trying to 384 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 3: collectively get all the latest news and information out to you, 385 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 3: and we put these things on the air, and most 386 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 3: of the time they irritate the hell out of me, 387 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 3: because first of all, they spent a lot of time 388 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 3: congratulating each other, and then it's cliches and platitudes, or 389 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: they state the obvious. They just repeat whatever news bulletins 390 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: we've already broadcast. 391 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 7: I want to see a news conference where they explain 392 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 7: what happened, why the security alerts failed, and the next 393 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 7: news conference. I also want to see if we know 394 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 7: what started these fires or who started these fires. 395 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 3: Isn't it it's over two weeks. They really don't know 396 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 3: what started the Palisades fire. 397 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 7: No, I mean the last the last thing was fireworks 398 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 7: from January first, right, and it was put out and 399 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 7: when it but it, there is some smoldering. And then 400 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 7: when the winds picked up on the seventh, that's that's 401 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 7: the latest thing. 402 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 3: That was their theory. That's the theory possibility. But I'm 403 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 3: wondering if that's a cover story. 404 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 7: And the one in Altadena, Pasadena they're blaming so Cal Edison, 405 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 7: but we don't know for sure. 406 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 8: And you and you said yesterday that so cal Edison 407 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 8: was told to preserve any evidence, right, because they're going 408 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 8: to look into all of it. 409 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: Yes, that's started at the base of a transmission tower 410 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: and those utilities are known to destroy evidence. 411 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 7: And then you had that fire yesterday, the four h 412 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 7: five in the Suppolata passed. I mean fortunately only forty 413 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 7: acres burned. But how did that one start? 414 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: If homeless? Then that Castaic one yesterday. 415 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, if homeless people start half the fires in La City. 416 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: One of the odds that. 417 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 3: Some of these fires were started by homeless people, and 418 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 3: they don't want to admit it because they've they've all 419 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: been told everyone in the fire departments told don't tell 420 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 3: the media that it that it that a homeless person 421 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: started the fire. 422 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 2: That's that's official policy. 423 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 3: So you see, and of course the news agencies don't 424 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 3: try to find out the truth. The firefighters just say, well, 425 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 3: we don't know, and then in the news story it's like, well, 426 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 3: unknown origins. 427 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: And they were all full of it. 428 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 3: Some of these fires in the last two and a 429 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: half weeks have got to be from homeless people. 430 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 7: Look at all the arsonists or the alleged arsenists who 431 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 7: have been detained or arrested. 432 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: What happened to that torch guy in your neighborhood. I 433 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: have no idea. 434 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 7: I don't know if he's if he's been let out 435 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 7: of jail, because remember they detained him and they didn't 436 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 7: have enough evidence to say that he committed arson, but 437 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 7: they were holding him on that felony parole violation. 438 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 3: It's been sixteen days since the Palisades fire, and the 439 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 3: fire hasn't been burning at the origin site, you know, 440 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: for the last two weeks. Like once fire burns through 441 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: an area, the fire goes out, Everything gets burned, right, 442 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: the Palisades is smoking ruins, but there's there isn't There 443 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: aren't any flames where the fire originated. They must know 444 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 3: by now, And I think the strategy is to shut 445 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 3: down news until it gets old and people stop caring. 446 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 7: I don't think anybody is going to stop caring about 447 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 7: how these fires started. 448 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: I don't think that is going to go away. 449 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: No, No, that playbook's not going to work for something 450 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 3: of this magnitude. And the people who have created these 451 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: policies of not cleaning the homeless off the streets and 452 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 3: all the public lands allowing this to potentially happen. They 453 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 3: know their asses are on the line here. There's so 454 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 3: many massive failures clearing out the homeless, having the LA 455 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: fire show up so late. You could see what happens 456 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 3: when these guys are allowed to do their work. I mean, 457 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 3: look what they did in Kostaic yesterday. Ten thousand acres, 458 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 3: nobody hurt, no buildings burned down, So pulvid had passed 459 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: last night. They had that thing controlled in less than 460 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 3: two hours. 461 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: And because we only have half a fire department. 462 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 3: The reason things are working really well now is we 463 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 3: called in all the fire departments from around the world, 464 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 3: all over the country and foreign countries. Well, if we 465 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 3: funded fully funded our departments here, we wouldn't have to 466 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 3: wait until all the help came several days later. There 467 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: is so much wrong, and it's the nuts and bolts 468 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 3: of government. I don't want to hear any more about 469 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: social issues. Any candidate starts rattling about any kind of 470 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 3: social issues. 471 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: Shut up, get out. 472 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: I want to know about reservoirs, fire fighting, police coverage, 473 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 3: getting the homeless off the streets permanently. That's all I 474 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: want to hear about. I want to hear about roads, 475 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 3: being paved, is being put out, police arresting bad guys. 476 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 3: Enough with enough, with all the social justice nonsense. It's 477 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: like a moratorium for the next ten years until we 478 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 3: go back to the nuts and bolts of civilization, governing 479 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: ourselves properly, making the whole area safe. God, there's just 480 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 3: like there are too many disasters going on here. 481 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 4: Uh. 482 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: And you know, I would hope now the public has 483 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 3: woken up that this has been a dark, dark era 484 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 3: of politics, policies, candidates, program they have abandoned. You talk 485 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 3: about dereliction of duty right up to the point where 486 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 3: the mayor's in Africa, the complete dereliction of duty. And 487 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: we are paying a fortune for this and all we're 488 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 3: getting our. 489 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 2: I can't tell you. 490 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: How much property tax they pay in Pacific Palisades, Actually 491 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 3: I can. They They got nothing for it. They got 492 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 3: burned out, smoking ruins. That's what they got for all 493 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 3: their property taxes. They had their property destroyed. Are more 494 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 3: coming up? 495 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 496 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 5: six forty. 497 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: We just got this information from Fox eleven. We've had 498 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 3: seventeen fires in southern California since the first of the year. 499 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 3: Seventeen of them fifty thousand, two hundred and thirty six 500 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 3: acres burned. Now in the city of la We know 501 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 3: that half of the fires that are reported are from vagrants, 502 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 3: and there's probably a lot of unreported fires as well. 503 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 3: So how many of these seventeen were started by vagrants 504 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 3: or crazy arsonists who should have been locked up? Edward 505 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: ring rights for the well it writes for a lot 506 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: of places. And we got this piece out of the 507 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 3: National Review, and he writes about a lot of environmental 508 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 3: issues in the state, and he went through the rounds 509 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 3: of wildfires that California has suffered the last few years. 510 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty summer twenty twenty, there are a lot 511 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 3: of bad fires, and Gavin Newsom's response was an executive 512 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 3: order to ban gas powered cars. Gas powered cars has 513 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 3: nothing to do with any of the fires, and US 514 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: driving gas powered cars has had no effect on the 515 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 3: global climate. But this is what he does. He grand 516 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 3: stands and tries to be a leader on some outrageous 517 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 3: issue that has nothing to do with the problem. There 518 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 3: was another round of fires in twenty twenty three and 519 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: his mini me, Attorney General Rob Bonta, what did he 520 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 3: do file a lawsuit against five major oil companies, saying 521 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 3: that the oil companies misled the public regarding the harm 522 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 3: that fossil fuels would inflict on the climate. Again, the 523 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: fires in twenty twenty three had nothing to do with 524 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: oil companies, nothing to do with oil and gas consumption. 525 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: And the funny thing is is that only seventeen percent 526 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: of the public is interested in this issue. I was 527 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 3: looking at new polling today and climate change is ranked 528 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: number sixteen out of eighteen possible issues. Sixteenth. About seventeen 529 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: percent of the country cares about it. But this is 530 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: see the reaction was, Hey, maybe we don't have enough firefighters, 531 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 3: Maybe we don't have enough fire engines. Maybe we don't 532 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 3: have our reservoirs filled. Maybe we haven't cleared the brush 533 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 3: properly in these forests, we haven't thinned about properly. Maybe 534 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: we don't have a proper notification system at these emergent 535 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 3: see command centers. Think of all the things that have 536 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: gone wrong here, because Ring says these are just distractions. 537 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 3: And he says, if it was climate change, then why 538 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: aren't they doing more to Excuse me, why aren't they 539 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 3: doing more to protect us from climate change? 540 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: And they're not. 541 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: He writes, for the last several years, why wasn't top 542 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 3: management at the LA Fire Department and the LA Department 543 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 3: of Water and Power demanding that the state, the city, 544 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 3: the county immediately send cruise into the canyons and engage 545 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 3: in fuel reduction projects? 546 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: They didn't. 547 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 3: When the Santa Ana wins were forecast, why wasn't the 548 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 3: LA Fire Department more aggressively prepositioning tankers and engines? They didn't, 549 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 3: And he goes on and on. We'll talk more about 550 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: this tomorrow. We got to Conway Thompson. 551 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: Thompson's back from going to the inauguration. 552 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I just got down with that inauguration.
