Money's running out on that too, Alex. 34 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: How bad?

So if the cord were to rule that, 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 5: where the money would come from for it for it 40 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 5: to continue on isn't clear.

That so many people get 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 5: these benefits, and you could debate the eligibility of the benefits, 88 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 5: but in this moment, all of a sudden poof, they're 89 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 5: going to go away unless some miracle happens in the 90 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 5: next twenty four to forty eight hours. That that is 91 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 5: a big problem all at one time that the country 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 5: is not ready for. And Jeane Marino, a kitchen supervisor 93 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 5: at Saint Luke's Mission and Mercy, says they're doing what 94 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 5: they can. 95 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: I'm concerned that the numbers are going to probably double 96 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: every day. 97 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 7: People are now. 98 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 2: Asking for meals to go home to their kids after school, 99 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: or for the elderly they can't get here, or the disabled. 100 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 5: So we'll see if there's a deal in the next 101 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 5: day or so or what that court in Boston does. 102 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 5: But again, if the court says the the government's got 103 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 5: to continue doing it without some kind of a deal, 104 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 5: how does the government continue doing it if the funding 105 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: isn't there.

Oh God, I got. 175 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: So much stuff to cover here. 176 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: I want to play some more Newsome stuff later in 177 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: the hour as well, with his interview with that potted 178 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: plant Jonathan Carl. 179 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 180 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 8: six forty. 181 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: Here's another thing that Jonathan Carl didn't ask Kevin Newsom 182 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: about in their long winded interview on ABC News. I 183 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: came up with eighteen issues off the top of my 184 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: head that Newsom is directly responsible for. Eighteen of them. 185 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: None of them were asked. Here's a nineteenth and this 186 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 2: comes out of the California Globe. 187 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: They have been going through. 188 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: A report, a report written by California Assemblyman stan ellis 189 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: Our friend USC professor Michael MChE and a petroleum expert, 190 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: Michael Ariza, listen to this, This self inflicted gasoline crisis 191 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: because of Gavin Newsom's absurd policies, has actually creating a 192 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: national security threat. California produces less than twenty three percent 193 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: of its own petroleum needs. We import sixty five percent 194 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: of crude oil from foreign sources, and eight percent of 195 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 2: our state's GDP is oil and gas industry. And as 196 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: they report, without that eight percent, the other ninety two 197 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: percent would be impossible to attain. All our financial wealth 198 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: comes from the ability to burn gas and oil in California, Nevada, 199 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: and Arizona. I'm sorry. California has thirty two military bases. 200 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 2: They have the Pacific Fleet, the United States Marines at 201 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: Camp Pendleton, twenty nine Palms, Miramar, Barstol, US Coast Guard reports, 202 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 2: US Air Force bases and LA Edwards and Travis missile 203 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: bases at Van den Berg, the Navy. 204 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: And with all this significant. 205 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: Military presence, California energy policies, they say, the regulations, the 206 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: political sentiments is a direct threat to the military force 207 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: readiness and there must be federal intervention. They said that 208 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 2: California military bases could end up running out of jet 209 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: and aviation fuel if we had a military conflict and 210 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 2: we suddenly need a lot of fuel quickly. California has 211 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 2: no inbound pipeline supplying crude oil, gasoline or aviation fuel. 212 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 2: Ninety five percent of California's crude oil and gasoline supplies 213 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 2: are delivered by maritime tankers tankers at sea, most of 214 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: which are not US flagged vessels, and Michael also sent 215 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: a follow up email. Even though the Senate has passed 216 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: a bill that allows new drilling permits in Kern County 217 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: and Newsom is beating his chest over it, that will 218 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: not provide enough oil, the Crimson Pipeline is still in danger. 219 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: The Crimson Pipeline is the major north south oil artery 220 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: in the state. It's about to collapse because there's no 221 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: enough oil in it that's being shipped to the gas refineries. 222 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: And once you drop below a certain point, then the 223 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 2: pipeline doesn't function. It's like oh, the hydrants of the 224 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: Palisades when there wasn't enough water. There's not enough pressure, 225 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: Not much water is going to come out of there. 226 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: It's most likely going to close by March thirty. First, 227 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: we are so low on producing oil in this state 228 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: because of Gavenuisence policies, that our major pipeline is about 229 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: to shut itself down because of a lack of oil pressure, 230 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: a lack of oil being produced, and our supply chains 231 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: will be more complex and more vulnerable, and we are 232 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: going to be importing all this gas and oil which 233 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: will expel much more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. These 234 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: long ocean treks the countries are buying the oil and 235 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 2: gas from have far far less atmospheric well they have, 236 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: They have far less concern for what they put in 237 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: the atmosphere. Most of these operations in other countries are 238 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: dirty operations, not even not reasonable operations, just outright dirty 239 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: because they don't care. So what we're doing here, this 240 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: is a slow motion train wreck. Been mourning about it 241 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: for months, It's coming. 242 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: This is like. 243 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: The fourth report Michael MChE has put out. Newsom has 244 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: destroyed the oil industry. He's destroyed our entire infrastructure. A 245 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: reversal must happen immediately. They have to stop the regulations, 246 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: stop the taxes, do something to prevent these refineries from closing. 247 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six is going to be a really bad 248 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: year here, and we had been run by fanatics for 249 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: so long and they'd gotten away with it. But there's 250 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: eventually consequences. The consequences are coming, and Lenny, you should 251 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: read a report, or at least go to California Globe 252 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: and read a summary of the report that the Assemblyman 253 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: stan allis the professor Michael mache and the petroleum excerpt. 254 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: Michael Loreza wrote on this you imagine our one major 255 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: pipeline shutting itself down from a lack of oil and 256 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: then what. 257 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: All right? 258 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: We come back though? Hey more with Jonathan Carl from 259 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: ABC News. He sat down with Newsomb for quite a while. 260 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: That was one of about nineteen issues that Jonathan Carl 261 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: did not cover with NEWSOM. 262 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: They obsessed about Trump. 263 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: Yes, Trump has nothing to do with the nineteen issues. 264 00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: Play more clips come. 265 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI AM 266 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 8: six forty. 267 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four and 268 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: then after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand on 269 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: the iHeart app. 270 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: Listen to what you missed. 271 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: We went through the one o'clock hour, a shocking bombshell 272 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: of the story from the LA Times. They have text 273 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: messages from firefighters the day after the January first fire. 274 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: The fire, they said was put out, that's what the 275 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: fire department said. But firefighters saw that it wasn't completely 276 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: because there was still it was still smoldering, there was 277 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: still hot rocks and hot tree stumps, and they wanted 278 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: to stay there with their hoses just in case. And 279 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: a battalion chief said no, go home. And you know 280 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: what happened five days later, this in the face, in 281 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: the face of the National Service, a dancing predictions of 282 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: extreme fire danger, extreme wind danger. And the firefighter said, 283 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, we gotta stay here. We got to keep 284 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: our hoses. And he said, no, roll up the hoses. 285 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: There's a battalion chief. And now nobody in LA management 286 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: wants to talk about it. They kept denying this for 287 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: the longest time. It was a huge, colossal mistake incompetent 288 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: because according to other retired fire officials, you have a 289 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: chance of fires reigniting when they're still hot, there's hot spots. 290 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: Of course, you stay, that's what you're supposed to do. 291 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: And they bolted. They bolted the day after. So anyway, 292 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: listen to that first hour. Gavin Newsome. It was on 293 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: with the ABC News Jonathan Carl They had short segment 294 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: segments on TV, they had a twenty six minute segment online. 295 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: And I just want to list again in case seating 296 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: here all the issues in California that you could ask about. 297 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: And I just did this off the top of my head, 298 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: about eighteen or nineteen of them. Now there's a new one. 299 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: We just discussed that the California oil pipeline is about 300 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: to shut itself down from a lack of oil. Let's see, 301 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: what if you had an interview with Gavin Newsom, what 302 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: could you ask him about. Well, you could ask him 303 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: about having the most homeless in the country, the highest 304 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 2: poverty rate, and most poor people on. 305 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: Medicaid in the country. 306 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 2: You could talk about the highest gas prices, the highest 307 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 2: electricity prices, the highest cost of living, the highest home cost, 308 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: the highest rental costs, the highest welfare rate, the highest 309 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 2: number of illegal aliens in addition to the thirty five 310 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 2: million we spend on the illegal aliens, the highest sales tax, 311 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 2: the highest gas tax, the inflation rate that's twenty percent 312 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 2: higher than the rest of the country, the twenty four 313 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: billion dollars that disappeared in homeless funding, the thirty plus 314 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: billion that disappeared in unemployment although scam artists overseas during COVID, 315 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 2: the seventeen billion that disappeared for high speed rail, there's 316 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: still no track, worst business climate, one of the worst 317 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: education outcomes. 318 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: That's what you could ask. 319 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: None of that was covered by Jonathan Carl of ABC News. 320 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: Instead, it was all about Trump. Trump had nothing to 321 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: do with that list of nineteen issues. I just gave you. 322 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: Kevin Newsom is intimately responsible for all of them. And 323 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: I'll give you the first cut early in the interview 324 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: where Carl asks Newsom about Trump backing down about sending 325 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 2: the National Guard to San Francisco. 326 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: Play cut number one. 327 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 8: The President was going to send the National Guard here, Yeah, 328 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 8: and all the all the indications were it was in motion. 329 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he backed down because he listens to billionaires. 330 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 7: He listens to people with power and money, people that 331 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 7: he does business with, not literally but figuratively, with the 332 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 7: folks around this region that are doing business with his son, 333 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 7: doing business directly with the President, making contributions, donations. They 334 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 7: had his ear, they bent it, and he backed down. 335 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: It's not complicated, Okay, It was not to stop right there. 336 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: I heard Daniel Lurie, the mayor of San Francisco, on today, 337 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: did an interview on CNBC, and here's the story. He 338 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 2: told explained to Trump that they have a lot of 339 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 2: plans in the works to totally revitalize downtown San Francisco. 340 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: They're actively getting the homeless out and getting the uh 341 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: getting the criminals away, he said. He and he said 342 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: this publicly in interviews. You know, just give us time. 343 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 2: And he talked about all the businesses that now want 344 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: to open up stores again, that want to build buildings, 345 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 2: office towers, repopulate all the empty office space and empty 346 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: retail space. He said they suffered a huge tax blow. 347 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: Downtown used to be sixty percent of their tax space 348 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: and now it's forty percent. So he's working with all 349 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: the business leaders in town. And I guess they made 350 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: a good case. That's what happened. If Trump listened, it's 351 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: because Lourie said, look, we have a plan. Things are working. 352 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: We've got these businesses coming in. Business has been trying 353 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: to tell Gavin Newsom for years that he's crushing the 354 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: state with his regulation. How many times do you think 355 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: executives from the oil industry have been telling Newsom, you're 356 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: destroying it. We're going to go out of business. We're 357 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 2: going to leave the state. Now they are. There's two 358 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 2: refineries closing because of him. Now the oil pipeline and 359 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: is shutting down. Now gas could end up being eight 360 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: dollars a gallon or more because Newsom doesn't listen to 361 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: the executives and the millionaires and the billionaires. By the way, 362 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: this is what we need in Los Angeles. I don't 363 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: know if we have any wealthy business people left, but 364 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: that's what we need here is the business guys to 365 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: take over. They got one in Daniel Lourie. He's the 366 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 2: heir of the Levi fortune. That's what you need to 367 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 2: turn around this city. They're doing it in San Francisco. 368 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: Even Santa Monica's figured out that they've got to stop 369 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: their nonsense and get the homeless out so that retail 370 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: shops come back and restaurants come back, and visitors and 371 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 2: tourists and locals can walk the streets again. They claim 372 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: they have this new radical plan. That's what Ala has 373 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: to have. That's what Newsom should be insisting on. But 374 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: you know it's Trump's Trump's fault, right, He asked Newsom. 375 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: How did Democrats lose their way cut? Number four? 376 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: How did Democrats those these weak weakness? I've always been struck. 377 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 7: I mean Bill Clinton after Schilaki, I can't remember when 378 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 7: it was. I think he was out of office and 379 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 7: he said, and we all know the quote, given the choice, 380 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 7: the American people always sports. 381 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 6: Strong and wrong, strong and wrong. 382 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 7: Think about that and laship of Trump versus weak and right. 383 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 6: We are so consumed by being right and these guys 384 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 6: are consumed by power. What do you think the whole 385 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 6: redistricting frameworks about my approach now to this moment and 386 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 6: what we're trying to do because just momently reconciling that 387 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 6: and waking up to that, here's what's. 388 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: Going to change. 389 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: Stop stop stop? Is he the only guy doesn't know? 390 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: I mean it's a ninety three IQ, So who knows 391 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: what we're dealing with? 392 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: Here? 393 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: Do we have to say this for the one thousandth 394 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: time there were ten million illegal owners that came through. 395 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 2: The public hated that there was nine percent inflation. The 396 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: public hated that Joe Biden was s nile. The public 397 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: hated that everyone's sick of hearing about race. Everybody's sick 398 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: hearing about transgender. They're sick, aunt of woke, They're sick 399 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 2: that the AI and that's all the Democrats were pushing. 400 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 2: That's just for starters off the top of my head, 401 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: but that that covers probably about ninety percent of what 402 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: motivated the vote instead. Oh, it's about weakness, It's about 403 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 2: strong and wrong. You were the term eighty twenty issues. 404 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: I'd never heard it before until this fall. How many 405 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: eighty twenty issues? Where Trump was on the eighty side, 406 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: Kamala was on the twenty side. 407 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: Of course. 408 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: Also in the interview, Biden was still pushing the idea 409 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: that Biden was the most successful president of the last 410 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: injury and that he wasn't senile.

Firefighters text messages the day after the 448 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: New Year's Day fire, showed that they wanted to stay, 449 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: but their battalion chief said no, roll up your hoses, 450 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: even though everyone could see it was a hot spot 451 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: up there. This is the New Year's Day fire that 452 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 2: turned into the Palisades Fire a week later. And they 453 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: had hot stumps tree stumps, and they had hot rocks, 454 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 2: and they had smoldering going on, wisps of smoke, and 455 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: the firefighters thought they should stay, and it's all documented 456 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: in the text. But the battalion chief, for whatever what, 457 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: of some ungodly reason, said no, we should go. And 458 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 2: you know what happened. And that was while the warnings 459 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: were out about the wind and fire danger. All right, 460 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: So that's the first hour of the podcast. You know, 461 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: it should be a good thing. I should be trumpeting 462 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 2: this is a great thing, and it is. There's a 463 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: homeless encampment that's finally been cleared in Plia Vista. Listen 464 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 2: to this residence in Plia Vista, which is La County. 465 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 2: They have been reaching out to state and county leaders 466 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: and this is this is south of Marina Marina del Rey. 467 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: I've never been sure if that's part of La City 468 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: or La County. I guess based on this story, it's 469 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 2: La County. It's a long the ninety freeway, these tents, 470 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they're worried about fire danger 471 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: because you know, we've had fire warnings this week, right, 472 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: We've had red flag warnings sant Ana, Wi mornings, and 473 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 2: so you've got these tents and homeost People should never 474 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: be allowed to live outside, especially during fire danger times. 475 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: So Caltran's cruise showed up to get rid of them, 476 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 2: and this got some media coverage. Everybody was offered services. 477 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: But here's the thing that got me. Fox eleven talked 478 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: to a number of residents in the encampment who said 479 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: they'd lived there for six months. Six months they lived there, 480 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: Well said, what does that go back to? 481 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: May? So that camp has been there on the side 482 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: of the highway. It's not hidden. 483 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 2: Everybody could see it six months. Finally this week, I 484 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 2: guess maybe there's a few people in government who were 485 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: spooped by what happened in the Palisades last year, and 486 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: they were given these offers of service, and these people 487 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 2: said they're grateful for the services. So why didn't somebody 488 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: offer the services six months ago? This was near Beethoven 489 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: Street and ply A Vista. 490 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: Six months they said it's going to be tough to move. 491 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: The one woman named Alyssa says, one minute you're comfortable 492 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: and stable, the next you feel like the rug, the 493 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 2: rug is ripped out of your feet. I think it's 494 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 2: the rug is ripped from under your feet, right, But 495 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: she was comfortable and stable living on the side of 496 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 2: a freeway. 497 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: In a tent. 498 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: That's what I always say is the mindset here is 499 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: not my mindset. Your mindset. They don't mind living out 500 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: there in a tent, they don't mind living next to 501 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: a freeway. 502 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: It's okay. They don't want to move. 503 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: It's kind of kind of inconvenient now that she has 504 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: to be moved to somewhere else, but at least it 505 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: got done over here. 506 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: We've got Conway up next. 507 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: Michael Krazer with the news live in the KFI twenty 508 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: four hour Newsroom.
