A lot of that was probably 28 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: against your will. 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 2: Still your biggest supporter. 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: Well tell her, I say, I said, hi, and I'm 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: really flattered. I will Spencer you have. I will give 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you a lot of credit because you are absolutely unrelenting. 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: A lot of people get angry, you know for a 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: day or two or a week. You have kept the 35 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: uh the torch going for ten months now and just 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: putting out real information and documents and videos and uh 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: we we've been following all your social media all these 38 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: months and gotten quite a lot of important information you 39 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: had that wasn't covered by the regular media in town. 40 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: Uh I guess well, they're they're in on the cover up. 41 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: So it's it's that's why. So That's what I've learned 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: is you know, even if they wanted to cover the stuff, 43 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: they can't because you know, there's ad dollars. It's just 44 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: this such a it is it's a conspiracy, you know, 45 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: so it's really hard to get the truth out. And 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: there are journalists that are, you know, do the best 47 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: they can, and I don't want to, you know, shame 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: them all, but one across the board. This is I 49 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: keep saying, like the biggest cover up ever. And I 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: mean I also keep saying they burned out in the 51 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: wrong person's house, they burned down the wrong person's parents. 52 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: Because I will do this for the rest of my 53 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: life and until every single person knows what truly went 54 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: on here. I'm not stopping. So everyone keeps on thinking like, oh, 55 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: maybe he'll burn out. They already burned me out, so 56 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: now I'm gonna burn down his lives. 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: Describe what you think the cover up entails, and I 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: know that's a broad question, but it is. 59 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: It is. 60 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: It is a broad cover up from Sacramento to Los 61 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Angeles and law enforcement agencies here, the fire department, the media. 62 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: You're right on all those counts. I have exactly the 63 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: same opinion. What you describe what you think the cover 64 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: up is here? 65 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: I mean it's. 66 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: Here. 67 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: It started day one, when right away you got Newsome 68 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: lying in front of our burning town, talking about I 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: pre deployed all these califire when he didn't pre deploy 70 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: one thing that the palicy is leading in to a 71 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: red flag event. LAFD didn't pre deploy one thing leading 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: into So just from day one, in front of burning buildings, 73 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: with people's probably still burning alive in their houses, you 74 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: have Newsom lying you can't even get Karen bass Line 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: because she's busy on in Africa deleting all her messages 76 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: with their app. So you got the LADWP going backwards 77 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: in there, you know, in their logs, trying to change 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: you know when they supposedly went to turn off the power. 79 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: So I mean it started from the jump, and then 80 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 2: they went on with the hurricane winds. There was no 81 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: hurricane winds in the Pacific Palisades. The match winds were 82 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: thirty miles per hour. So they connect the Altadena fire, 83 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: which did have some serious winds, but it's a whole 84 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: different fire. It was clearly Edison's electrical equipment. Yes, it 85 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: was actually in state park, which are state property which 86 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: people don't really talk about. So that's really also on Newsome. 87 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: But I digress in that that's a clear cut and 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 2: that's why people are always like, Spencer, why aren't you talking 89 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: about Altadena? The CEO of Edisto, they already said this 90 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: is them. They had ninety year old equipment that you know, 91 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: shot some sparks. So the difference is they did have 92 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: the wind, they did have the electrical We didn't have that. 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: What we had was two empty reservoirs. I live next 94 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 2: door to a reservoir, the Palisades Reservoir, not the Sandi 95 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: and as the Palisades Reservoir held was supposed to hold 96 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: six million gallons, and when they decided they were going 97 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 2: to drain one hundred and sixteen million gallon. When I 98 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: said they, jimnie quinnonas who makes seven hundred and fifty 99 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year, and now also I think a 100 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: quarter million dollars in a security guard and a driver. 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: And then you also look at all the ledwts sown. 102 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: They're all making more than five hundred thousand dollars, which 103 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: good for them, right, But the fact is that for 104 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty thousand dollars, it took over a 105 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: year to repair a rip cover on a on a 106 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 2: reservoir that wasn't even built for drinking waters. So that's 107 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: even a bigger who knows who got the kickbacks when 108 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: they decided to rebuild this reservoir into a ledge drinking 109 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: water reservoir that no one's drinking out of it. It 110 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: was built for wildfire protection. That's the it's quoted in 111 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: the La Times when the guy built it. Why they 112 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: did it was because there was the Mandeville fire back then, 113 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: and they're like, we need another thing to fight wildfires. 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 2: So they built that. So we got Jennie quinnonas knowingly 115 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: leaving two of the biggest resources for wildfires empty in 116 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 2: the Palisades, and then right away the day after the 117 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: cover up starts to go, oh, it wouldn't even matter. 118 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: Oh they was never designed for fighting structures past three, 119 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 2: What are they talking about? It mattered because the helicopters. 120 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: If it wasn't designed for wildfire, why do they have 121 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: the pumps that the helicopters connect to the reservoir. It's 122 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: because that's what it's for. So these helicopters for the 123 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 2: first six hours of the palis As fire, they got 124 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: to fly to Pepperdine, they got to fly to Encino. 125 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: This is the most important time when a fire starts. 126 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: Is that initial attack to get the water on it, 127 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: and they're having to spend six and a half hours 128 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: of the actual time in the air going to get 129 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: the water thirty seconds we're talking Sanny and Z to 130 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: Lochman in one of these fire hawks or whatever they 131 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: called would have taken thirty seconds, but no, they got 132 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: to fly all the way to get the water. So 133 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: you got back to the bigger picture. The cover up 134 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: started instilling hurricane wins. We had three deployed, we were 135 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: ready for this. Oh the water was never meant for fires. 136 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: So and then it's I mean that's day two. Now 137 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: you know we're ten months later. You got the new 138 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: chief more the other day in the fire commission thing going, 139 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: I don't know about any of these text messages and 140 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: these reports. Excuse me, sir, you could have asked, because 141 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: on Saturday, do you win and shook hands with all 142 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: the the stations, sixty nine guys in the palacies, Why 143 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: don't you just ask them to their face or did 144 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: you or did you go there and tell them to 145 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: shut the f up and to stop, you know, trying 146 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: to tell the truth because the truth doesn't look good 147 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: for the fire family or whatever bs these politicians, because 148 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: that's what you'll learn all these upper brass firefighters, they're politicians. 149 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: They're not the boots on the ground, the guys behind 150 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: the hose. They operate at a different level. They just 151 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: they're just doing literally what Karen bass and what keeps 152 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: the bonuses. So these guys are all in on it too. 153 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: But then the real cover up, the one that's like 154 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 2: why we're on the phone today because I feel like 155 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: the La Times, I'm glad they're even digging into this. 156 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: They included me a piece about the state parks and 157 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 2: the Lockman fire, and I feel like some of the 158 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 2: bigger pieces of that article were kind of missed. So 159 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: for people don't understand what they've done in the cover 160 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: up is that first it was climate Oh my gosh, 161 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: you know New York Times is arguing me for two weeks. 162 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: How do you not say, this is climate change?

And then the AHF comes out with 165 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: their federal jestigation. No, now some it's an arsonist. Oh really, no, 166 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: the arsonists was January first, and now was eight acres. 167 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: The newsome bas La WP palass fire. That's twenty five 168 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: thousand acres. That's six days later. So you can't sit 169 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: here and try to blame a guy who we don't 170 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: you know, allegedly, we don't even allegedly is the arsonist 171 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: for the palace. As far this is on newsom baths 172 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: in the led. 173 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: Let me let me, let me just stop you for 174 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: a second. I got to do a commercial break and 175 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: get some news. We come back. I want to talk 176 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: more about the specific article in the La Times that 177 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: you refer to. Okay, Spencer Pratt, he is uh the 178 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: activist for the Pacific Palisades community. He lost his house 179 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: and reality television star, so's he's got a name, and 180 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: he's using that name to attract an enormous amount of 181 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: attention to everything that he just laid out. That all 182 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: those all those cover up bullet points that he went through. Yeah, 183 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: that was just day one. 184 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 185 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: M six forty. 186 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show. We continue with Spencer Pratt, the reality 187 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: TV star has become the the the outspoken leader for 188 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: Palisades residents who are fighting the massive cover up and 189 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: the massive incompetence that led to the fire and persists 190 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: to this day, the cover up and the incompetence. And Spencer, 191 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: when we left, you were starting to address an article 192 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles Times today and this concern something 193 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: we have talked about this week. California State Parks sent 194 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: a representative to the site of the original fire and 195 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: apparently ordered LA Fire Department not to use a bulldozer 196 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: to cut a line around the fire because that would 197 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: harm a lot of the local plants that they felt 198 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: were endangered. To talk about this. 199 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, so like in this article, it's very he said, 200 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: she said. Spencer said that California's State Parks tried to 201 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: restrict how firefighters bought the fire, and then she said 202 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: they didn't. Well, no baccheck, no conclusion. You don't have 203 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: to wait for the state park's confession. You could actually 204 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: research their state park policy documents like the one that 205 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: I have. I can set you the link where in 206 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: the job description of the c SP Resource advisor they're 207 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 2: explicitly taught to minimize in quotes, impacts the natural cultural 208 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: resources caused by wild land fire suppression. What does this mean? Well, 209 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: obviously by natural resources they mean plants. Their stated intent 210 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: is to reduce the amount of plants being cut by 211 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: wild firefighters. The writing on their policies is literally in 212 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: bold bomb on the word suppression. They clearly see the 213 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 2: standard work of wildland firefighters to be a significant problem. 214 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: Can you reduce avoidable fresh impacts and still properly containing 215 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: a fire? Sure, But at simple point of fact, the 216 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: purpose of this is that it precludes the firefighters from 217 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: just doing their job as they see fit, which given 218 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 2: the consequences, is preferable over the plant priority approach. So, 219 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: like I was trying to tell them, it's you know, 220 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: the LAFD is going to do their best to put 221 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 2: out a fire, but if when they arrive on site, 222 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: if there's a state representative telling them they can't have 223 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: a dozer. And so that's kind of where the report 224 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 2: mixed up. That well, I was told by the battalion 225 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: chief wasn't about the mop up was when they got 226 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: there for the fire, So they can f the initial 227 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: attack and the fire line construction and the mop up 228 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: they're not the same thing. The dozers are used for 229 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: the line construction, not mop up. So when the ARP 230 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: when they show up to tell the battalion chief who 231 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: I spoke with, and they have a map of where 232 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: there's a dozer exclusion zone, and this is during the 233 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: initial attack on January first, So I don't know what 234 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: the whole counterpoint. And the article someone says that dozers 235 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: aren't used for mop up. I was never saying that, 236 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: and neither is Alexander Robertson the lawyer. His quote is 237 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: they couldn't bring a bulldozer in the cut a line 238 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: around the fire, and they could not do mop up 239 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: with their hand tools. He's specifically villidating between dozer line 240 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: construction on the initial attack mop up with the hand tools, 241 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 2: which was also restricted. So this whole thing about like 242 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: in the article, it's like, oh, this guy says Spencer 243 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: is wrong a former thing, we wouldn't use dozers. It's 244 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: actually in their own thing that they wouldn't use dozers 245 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: because of what he's saying that it's because of safety 246 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 2: upgrades and power equipment that that area was halted for 247 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: dozers because of their milk belch plant and they were banned. 248 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: So the article is like, thankfully they're even like talking 249 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: about it, but it's just confusing the reader, like because 250 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: they bring in some retired LAFD guy. It's like, oh, 251 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: we would never use dozers. Oh yeah, uh. I never 252 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: said they would use them on the mop up. So 253 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: that's where it's a little nice frustrating. 254 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: Well, but you do have to wonder, now, I would 255 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: think that there'd be forces out there trying to discredit 256 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: you in some way, even if they're they're they're they're 257 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: nitpicking me on a mistake you didn't make. 258 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I called in today, and you know, 259 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: because I wanted to come in studio and do a 260 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: whole thing with you, and I want to fit the schedule. 261 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: But then after this article is like, this is too 262 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: big of a thing for like paragraphs to be kind 263 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: of put. You know, I'm not saying I'm it's just 264 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: not the right order. So I will tell exactly what happened. 265 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: So I got a DM from a firefighter that was 266 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: on the Lochman mop up on January second, and he 267 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 2: told me, you know, a whole message. I posted it 268 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: and he said that he went up to the battalion 269 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: chief and he said it's still smoldering. We can't pull hose. 270 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: And the battalion chief looked at him, ignored him, and 271 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: said pulled the hose, and so when I heard that, 272 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm tracking down this battalion chief. So 273 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: I got a hold of this battalion chief and so 274 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: you know, he in his defense, he doesn't believe that 275 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: it was smoldering. You know, we all obviously know he's wrong. 276 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: It was lots of videos. But that wasn't the takeaway 277 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: from our conversation, I said, because I was like, were 278 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: there any eight people there? Because I had heard that 279 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: there was a state right and he said yes. When 280 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: we got to the fire, there was a woman from 281 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: the state with a map and she was showing all 282 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: the areas we couldn't touch fighting the January first fire 283 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: because of protected He said. His takeaway was he was 284 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: shocked how much protected area was up there and asked 285 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: to keep the map and she said no. And then 286 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: she also said they couldn't bring a dozer up. So 287 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: it's not a he said. She said, we're gonna subpoena 288 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: this guy, this battalion chief. He's gonna have to talk 289 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: under oath face perjury, and he's gonna say that they 290 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: were told no dozer, So it's not about the mop up. 291 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: The dozer could have been there for that night for 292 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: the initial fire, and think about the fire line that 293 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: that dozer would have created around the burns car. So 294 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: not the mop up the initial attack. And so we 295 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: now know the state didn't use any of their so 296 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: people will realize the state parks have their own fire trucks, 297 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: their own fire The whole team is like, I want 298 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: to say, there's at least eleven of these truck from 299 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: Malibny puzzlege. So once now this Newsom's lawyers are denying 300 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: that the state there was anybody from the state even there, 301 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: even though now we got photos of video of this 302 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: date rep walking the burnscar with LAFB firefighters. So they're 303 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 2: they're lying in court as of like two days ago. 304 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 2: So I don't know if they knew we had the 305 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: video photo Yeah. 306 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they were definitely like, Spencer, can you stand 307 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: up for another segment?

I think the only people that I 339 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 2: ever you know, you know, trolls that will pop up 340 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: now since Newsom's best thing that he's done since destroying 341 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: the state is focusing on like just yelling about Trump. 342 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: So now people that don't like Trump think that if 343 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 2: I'm just attacking Newsom, they don't have any connection to 344 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: why I'm attacking Newsome for what he's done to my 345 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: town and a lot of California. So that's the only thing, 346 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: and that's newer since he started doing the whole you know, 347 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: look over here, look over here, don't look at Actually 348 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: I'm the worst person for the last twenty one years. 349 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 2: So other than that, know, and people got to realize 350 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: I do this because I interact with you know, eighty 351 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: year old like grandparents crying because they can't go back 352 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: and ninety years. You know, I interact with these people 353 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: that who lost everything. So you know, there's no they 354 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: can put fact all they want, there's nothing stopping what's 355 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: behind me. So what's just so crazy is people don't 356 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: realize that we talked about the palis States fire, but 357 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: this is gonna come. You know, I hate to say it, 358 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: but it's coming to the Hollywood Hills, it's coming to 359 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: bel Air, it's coming to This is just my areas 360 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 2: that I know I can't imagine out past what I 361 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 2: know in myligious radar. But the fact that posts Palistates fire, 362 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: they're still not doing the prescribe burns. There's still not 363 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: clearing the dead brush, they're still not doing the fire breaks. 364 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: It's scary that they truly have learned nothing from the 365 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: Palistates fire and twelve people burning alive, seven thousand structures, 366 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: and it's just it's all Newsome. People don't realize it's 367 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 2: not climate change. Seven of the ten worst wildfires in 368 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: the history of California are during Newsome's rain his era. 369 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: So the time it didn't just decide, oh I knew 370 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: some in charge, I'm gonna make so many more fires 371 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: and burn everything. No, Heata doesn't know how to properly 372 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 2: manage his state parks. And that's why the Palaces fire 373 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: is gonna be such an important message to you know, 374 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: our government is they're on the hook for this. This 375 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: is their property that they let just smolder for six days, 376 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 2: didn't monitor it, didn't bring they didn't need thermal let's say, 377 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, we should have you know, you know, 378 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: the new chiefs like, oh, looks, we're gonna definitely use 379 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: thermal drones now now that we've learned our lesson. Didn't 380 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 2: need thermal drones. I know four firefighters that reached out 381 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: to the upper command and said, hey, it's smoldering, it's red. 382 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: There's smoke coming off of it, leading into a red flag. 383 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: It's not about technology, it's about people's negligence. So forget 384 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: even the LAFD. You know, you can look at it 385 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 2: as once they put it out and they said at 386 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: publicly they thought it was dead out, it becomes the 387 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 2: state's responsibility. It's in their own man annual to close 388 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: the state park and make sure it's not a dangerous 389 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 2: condition for the community or what's next to it. So 390 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 2: their argument in court the other day was because of 391 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 2: the better precedent of this legal case, so like, oh, well, 392 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: better state park doesn't have massive amounts of gasoline sitting around. 393 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: So either they're the biggest liars or the worst attorneys 394 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: that don't even like know how to read their own 395 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: Instagram accounts like I posted one day ago. Cal fire 396 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: has a whole post and they're referring to vegetation management 397 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: as fuels reduction. So what the lawyers for Newsomb state 398 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: attorneys don't get. You don't need gasoline. The entire state 399 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: park was fuel. It was forty sixty years of bed 400 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: brush just piling up next to people's houses. And they're 401 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: here's the best part. They go around giving tickets telling 402 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: us on our properties to clear our yards. They got 403 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: the new zone zero law they want to create where 404 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: you don't have any of these plants, which I'm not 405 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 2: saying that's bad or whatever. I'm just saying in the 406 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: old community, you get fined for not cutting your dead brush. 407 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: Yet they have it connected to everyone's houses. Just forty 408 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: years of just thick dead brush, which are old manual 409 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: says that they're supposed to be clearing one hundred and 410 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 2: thirty feet of this dead brush connecting to all of 411 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: our houses. So you know the bigger picture. I'm excited 412 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: for the future because I do think when all's said 413 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: and done, and this is you know, Newsom goes down. 414 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: For this, California won't keep burning down because they're going 415 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: to learn a hard, expensive lesson. They should have already 416 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: learned it with people burning alive and you know, fifty 417 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 2: billion plus in people's properties, but they don't because they 418 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: actually don't care about any of us, which. 419 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: Is no, they don't. 420 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 2: Let me. 421 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: Let me ask you something, what's the state of the rebuild? 422 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 2: And that's the other funniest thing. So you got Karen 423 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: Baths bragging is not funny, umor excuse me, Carabaths out 424 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 2: you're bragging the posts. I just did an executive order 425 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 2: to cut all the fees for rebuilding, knowing damn well 426 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: that her executive or means nothing and she needs a 427 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: super majority vote from the city council to even approve 428 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: waving the fees, which they have not waived. So out 429 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: of seven thousand plus structures, you know, there's arguments about 430 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: what the number is, but we're talking three hundred maybe 431 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 2: houses are being rebuilt, and like they're bragging about, like 432 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 2: one house just finished. That house was already in the 433 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: works before the fire. A lot of these properties they count, 434 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: and a lot of these permits they brag about. It's 435 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 2: that you're adding a pool, now you have to get 436 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 2: a new permit approof. So we're talking three hundred max. 437 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 2: Out of seven thousand. So there's no and it's impossible. 438 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: People are dealing with it now. They're fighting the LADWP 439 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: before underground the power lines, even though we have evidence 440 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: of these power lines having created new fires on January 441 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: seventh and January eighth with these poles going down. So 442 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 2: they're fighting to not underground power lines and they're trying 443 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: to charge everyone. So it's just a disaster after disaster. 444 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 2: And then they do little photos and igs with little 445 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: music and they're like, oh, repor rebuilding, we're doing the 446 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: fastest ever. Also, fastest ever in Los Angeles is the 447 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 2: slowest anywhere on planet Earth. So you can't even reference 448 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 2: fast and la like, oh, this is three times what 449 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: it usually takes. Well, it shouldn't have taken that, and 450 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 2: anywhere else. It's just like for instance, Senator Rick Scott 451 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: when he was out here for the Congressional like hearing, 452 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: he told me in Florida, with hurricanes, if they're not 453 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 2: already rebuilding and houses aren't up within three months of 454 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 2: a hurricane, he said, the pitch forest come out. But 455 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: here we are ten months later. And you know the 456 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 2: other thing people that just don't even talk about is 457 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 2: everyone got destroyed with insurance because of Gavin Newsom. And 458 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: and it's Ricardo Laura who's out there on fifty vacations 459 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 2: on Safari with thirty thousand in bodyguards. I don't even 460 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 2: know what you won't even do what this guy looked like. 461 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 2: Yet he had thirty thousand bodyguards. So he's traveling around 462 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: the world. Let while we're all getting cooked by the 463 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: insurance companies because of course they don't want to ensure 464 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 2: these as they would say extreme fire zones. They're extreme 465 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 2: fire zones. Because anyone with the brain knows that Newsom 466 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: doesn't maintain his state parks and lets these environmentalists, but 467 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: he puts in charge so that he can be like, oh, 468 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 2: that's not me, that's carb Well, who elected the carb 469 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: frickin person. You wants you to an executive order and 470 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 2: get rid of these people and say we're trimming the 471 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: dead brush and they're fighting for things that all where 472 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: is the milk belch, it's all gone. Protective Butterfly, they're 473 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 2: all gone. We're the lizards, they're all dead. 474 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: I thank you for coming on. I'm out of time, 475 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: but I really enjoyed this and I want you to 476 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: come on again. All right.

And as you find things out, 481 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: you've always got a home here. All right.

So thank you 485 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: for coming on. 486 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 2: Thank you.

But that's what got 541 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: a state Parks representative to come down in the middle 542 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: of the night and get the LA Fire Department to 543 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:50,479 Speaker 1: stop building a fire line. They couldn't have bulldozers in 544 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: order to build a fire break to keep the fire 545 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: from spreading. And then you you bundle that with the 546 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: LA Fire Department taken off from a smoldering fire, and 547 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: again this you know, we got to separate because I 548 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: can see what this new fire chief is doing himimore 549 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: He's trying to take the obvious, clear criticism of fire 550 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: management and say, oh, you're smearing the hard working firefighters 551 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: with their lives on the line. Boy, that is the 552 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: cheapest dodge in the world, and it may intimidate some people. 553 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 1: You may be trying to embarrass some people. That's silence. 554 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: It's not going to work here. It's not going to 555 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: work with Spencer Pratty either. Okay, I know what you're doing. 556 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: I had listened to public officials lie for a long 557 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: time in Los Angeles. I have heard it all. I 558 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: know all your tricks and the trick here from Hoimimore. 559 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: The fire chief is to I think a Newsome word 560 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: is conflate to confuse people. Criticism of fire management is 561 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: not criticism of firefighters. If the firefighters screw up, we'll 562 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: say so. But this is fire management. And they're all 563 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: covering their ass and all their other sorry body hearts 564 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: right now, and we are going to be relentless in 565 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: giving everybody the truth here, and God help us if 566 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: Newsom or Bass survive any of this. I have never 567 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: seen two people who deserve to be put out to pasture. 568 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: The two of them want to be put out to 569 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: prison for what they've done. It's criminal negligence.
