We covered the Senate reversing California's 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: ban on gas powered cars. They have blocked the ban. 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: Trump will sign it, and the California won't be allowed 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: to force us into electric vehicles.

We're also gonna be talking 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: about it later as well. Alex Stone with ABC News. 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: So last night, the middle of the night, like quarter 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: to four in the morning, a small private jet crashed 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: into a neighborhood in San Diego. And that's right, at 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: least a dozen homes crazy and Alex has got the 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: latest on it either. John. Yeah, it was yeah, early 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 1: this morning, and pretty incredible that nobody on the ground 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: was killed and not even seriously injured. That it's just 20 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: very minor injuries for the eight people on the ground 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: who have any kind of injury at all. But it 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: was three forty seven this morning, this small jet Assessna 23 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: five point fifty. We're heard from the NTSB a few 24 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: minutes ago that it's from nineteen eighty five, which is 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: not uncommon with private jets. I mean, people have jets 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: to go back many many decades, are expensive, they keep 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: them up. That's perfectly fine. From nineteen eighty five. They 28 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: started in Teterborough, New Jersey, stopped in Wichita, probably for fuel. 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: They left Teeterborough at around eleven o'clock at night, and 30 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: the plan was to land at Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: in San Diego. They were coming in. We've got the 32 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: air traffic control audio. The weather reporting system was out 33 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: and Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport, so they radioed at Seed 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: asked for the weather because they knew it was supposed 35 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: to be bad, really foggy as they were coming in, 36 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: and they know what the weather is at Gillespie Field, 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: which is another airport in San Diego, but they wanted 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: to know what it was in Montgomery Gibbs as they 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: were coming in. We had any idea on the weather. 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: I got the Gilenskie weather, but as I'm sure he knows, 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: that be dramatically different between Lensbi and Montgomery. So the 42 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: audio there from live ATC He was told by that 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: air traffic controller that at Gillespie, which is not very 44 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: far away, that it was fogged down to minimums, down 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: to minimum levels where they could legally land, and so 46 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: he was probably on instrument approach instrument flight rules. He 47 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: was told the weather not good, but he said they 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: were going to try and approach. All right, doesn't sound great, 49 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: but we'll give. 50 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: It a go. 51 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound great, but we'll give it a go. 52 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: And then a moment later the plan plane slammed into 53 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: the neighborhood, which is military housing about two miles from 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: the runway, first clipping a power line and then going 55 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: down into the neighborhood. One home, John is worse off 56 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: than the others, but around a dozen have severe dam 57 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: Jet fuel was on fire, rolling down, on fire into 58 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the drains and rolling down the street. It was described 59 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: by firefighters who first got there as looking like a 60 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: movie set with everything burning. Jessica Schrader this woke her up. 61 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: She heard a boom she looked outside a burning airplane, 62 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: homes on fire, jet fuel everywhere, the street on fire. 63 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: Her family was trapped inside their home. Fire was up 64 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: to like right in front of my front door. 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 2: So I'm trying to figure out how to escape with 66 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: my kids, and I'm just like, let's go, and I'm 67 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: calling the police. 68 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: She says there was a dead pilot on her front lawn. 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: A neighbor brought a ladder and they got her out 70 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: over the back fence, so we were able. 71 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: To climb the ladder and jump onto their trampoline to escape, 72 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: me and my children, and I was able to throw 73 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: my two weenie dogs over as well. 74 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: The fits She got her weenie dogs out as well. 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: But firefighters say that the people were jumping out of 76 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: windows of the homes running to get away from all this. 77 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: Amazingly though, nobody on the ground injured, and the fire 78 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: department saying. 79 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: All the fatalities right now looked to be that they're 80 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: from the plane. We're working with the FAA right now 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: to find out how many actual people were registered on 82 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: that plane. 83 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: Now. 84 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: San Diego placers saying two are dead. But there is 85 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: a music talent agency Sound Talent Group out of the 86 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: San Diego area. They say that three people, including their 87 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: founder who was piloting, that there were three on board. 88 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: So they're still trying to figure that out on the scene. 89 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: But the FAA, the NTSB they're now working at they're 90 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: beginning to try to figure out was it the fog, 91 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: was it something else. But a lot of damage to 92 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: the neighborhood. So the guy we heard on that first 93 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: little bit of audio, the pilot he's dead. Yeah, the 94 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: pilot is dead, and that it would appear is Dave Shapiro, 95 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: who is the founder of Sound Talent Group and is 96 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: a pilot as well, and according to the company, was 97 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: apparently piloting the aircraft, signing his own plane, I guess, yeah, 98 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: or the company's plane, but was an avid pilot, actually 99 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: had a flight school and would teach flying, but that 100 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: they were coming back from something in the New York 101 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: area and flying overnight to be back here by tomorrow morning. 102 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: By this morning, the fog dense enough that he wouldn't 103 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: be able to tell that it was crashing into a neighborhood. Yeah, 104 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: it was really dense in the San Diego area this morning. 105 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: It was you couldn't see very far at all. But 106 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: did that play a role. Wouldn't he have been on 107 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: instruments at that point. Was he hand flying for some 108 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: reason or doing it visually. Did he mistake the lights 109 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: of the street as a runway and then realized too 110 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: late after they hit the power line or was there 111 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: a mechanical issue. They don't know. There was no mayday call. 112 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: The tower was shut down at that time at Montgomery 113 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Gibbs Executive Airport, which is normal. The air traffic control 114 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: he was talking to before that was a center that 115 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: was helping him out. But then once he went into 116 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: the airport, which is normal for small airports, they do 117 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: a radio click to make the lights of the runway 118 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: come on. They announced that they are landing and their 119 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: direction of landing, to tell any airplanes around them to 120 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: watch out that they're coming in. But there's no communication 121 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: with the tower at that time in the morning, at 122 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: three forty seven in the morning, that there would be 123 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: nowhere traffic control tower at he was skidding down the street. Yeah, 124 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: they were as if it was the runway, and like 125 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: you said, maybe he mistook the neighborhood lights. Maybe. Yeah, 126 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: in the fog where you're just looking for lights and 127 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: there it is, but he was about two miles away 128 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: from the runway, so they weren't quite there yet. So 129 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: was it just complete disorientation or did they have an 130 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: engine go out or something else. They don't know yet. 131 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: It didn't sound like he was in distress when he 132 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: was talking to me. No, And there was no mayday 133 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: call to anybody on the radio, so it almost seems 134 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: like they thought they were landing and then realized that 135 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: wasn't the runway. That's that's crazy. And nobody in that 136 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: neighborhood got hurt. It was just people. No, well, some 137 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: minor injuries, but very minor. In fact, only one had 138 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: to be transported to a hospital. The others were so 139 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: minor they didn't even have to go to a hospital. 140 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: The one thing that San Diego Fire keeps saying is 141 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: because at is military housing for people who are stationed, 142 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, big regular homes, but but 143 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: that's where the military puts them when they're stationed in 144 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: San Diego for families that are there. That all of 145 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: the homes were full. People were asleep at three forty seven, 146 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: and there were you know, children, adults, everybody was in 147 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: the homes. But because they are members of the military 148 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: with first responder experience and medical experience and know how 149 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: to take control of a situation. That by the time 150 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: San Diego Fire got there, they were already handling it. 151 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: They were getting people out of their homes, they were 152 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: doing medical aid on them, they were calming them down, 153 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: getting them out of the area. That this was a community, oh, 154 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: I mean essentially a community of first responders, and that 155 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: they knew what to do and they jumped into action. 156 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: All right, Alex Stone, thank you, you got it. Thanks John. 157 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: That's really strange when we come back. Well, we've got 158 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: a thousand, we've got one thousand dollars to give away, 159 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: and you know, tomorrow they're supposed to open Pacific Coast 160 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: Highway from the Palisades to Malibu, and it's eleven miles 161 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: that have been that have been shut down since the fire. 162 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: And what they want is people to go to Malibu 163 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: because all the businesses are on the verge of death. 164 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: All right, they have they have had very few customers 165 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: now going on its fifth month, so they're finally gonna 166 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: have two lanes going in both directions. But in the Palisades, 167 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the residents want to know what is Karen Bass's planned 168 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: to provide security because the National Guard has been manning 169 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: the checkpoints. They're gonna be gone now. So are they 170 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: gonna be checkpoints? And who's gonna run them? And what's 171 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: going to keep looters and squatters and criminal gangs from 172 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: running them up inside the Palisades. I'll tell you about 173 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: it and we come back if there's anything to tell. 174 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: Debormarcus lied and they can't fight. Twenty four hour News. 175 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 4: Here's the latest. That heat wave that we've been experiencing 176 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 4: is about to go bye bye. And a man in 177 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 4: Van Eys has one a bit fifteen million dollars. Let's 178 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 4: try that again. A man in Van Eyes has won 179 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 4: fifteen million dollars with a forty dollars lottery scratcher. We'll 180 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 4: have more at the bottom of the hour from the 181 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 4: Southern California Toyota Dealer traffic centers. They've more at the pump, 182 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 4: which Toyota's full lineup of fuel efficient vehicles. We are 183 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 4: going to a crash on the one thirty four Griffith part. 184 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: This is where the two middle lanes of blocks. 185 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 4: It's the one thirty four eastbound beef. 186 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 187 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: six forty. 188 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Frequently when it comes to stories here in Los Angeles 189 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: and in California in general, and stories involving Karen Bass. 190 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: I ended up reading the stories like two or three 191 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: times because I keep saying to myself, this can't be 192 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: I must be missing something. Maybe I'm losing focus, maybe 193 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: I've skipped over some paragraphs I don't and then I 194 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: go check other news sites and it'say, they have the 195 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: same story. Because I'm thinking, no, this can't be true. Now, 196 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: Karen Pass has taken a lot of crap because she's 197 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: been such an incompetent boob since this fire situation happened. Finally, 198 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: after four and a half months, they're opening eleven miles 199 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: of Pacific Coast Highway from the Palisades into Malibu. And 200 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: this is going to happen tomorrow. Now today is Thursday, 201 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: and as of Wednesday yesterday, and I've looked for an 202 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: updated story and I can't find it if anybody has it, 203 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: But as of yesterday, the state government says it's in 204 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: the dark regarding Bass's plan for providing security to the Palisades. 205 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: And I know plenty of people in the Palisades, and 206 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: people are very concerned that with the National Guard leaves 207 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: and the checkpoints are gone, who's going to regulate Because 208 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: there's two things at play here. They're going to open 209 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: pH and they have to because the businesses in Malibu 210 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: are dying. Many of them are dead already. They've gotten 211 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: next to nothing. You can't access Malibu from the south 212 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: frequently to Pega Canyon Road was closed for this mess, 213 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: and you know, and rock slides and landslides and whatnot. 214 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: But the people in the Palisades are afraid of looters, gangs, 215 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: squatters taking over vacant properties, vacant businesses. But you could 216 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: just imagine, because Darningy was in California, that are enforced 217 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: very often, so you can imagine what the people are 218 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: afraid of there. So she has not told anybody about 219 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: her plan. The Times contacted her pet weasel, Zach Sidel, 220 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: who's the spokeshole, and he claims that the mayor did 221 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: have a plan to keep Palisades secure and closed to 222 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: non residents, but she hasn't shared it with the state. 223 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Like CHP doesn't know anything. New administration doesn't know anything. 224 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: In fact, the head of the state's emergency Services Agency 225 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: sent a sharply worded letter Wednesday to somebody in the 226 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Bass administration, wanting to know why isn't Bass or anyone 227 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: else answering questions. The state officials had been calling Bass 228 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: and her office for weeks, saying, well, what are you 229 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: going to do on Friday? What are you going to 230 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: do for Memorial Day weekend? And they won't answer, which 231 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: seems to be the way all these stories go. Bass 232 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,479 Speaker 1: simply doesn't answer. Nobody in the administration answers. No explanation 233 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: is given. As of yesterday morning, and again I am 234 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: checking to see if there's an update. The mayor's office 235 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: had yet to provide the state with a plan how 236 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: it's going to provide security to the Palisades, whether it 237 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: plans to establish new checkpoints on major roads that enter 238 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: the community. Coming off pch the pet weasel, Zach Sidel said, 239 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: the city's going to put new checkpoints in place, but 240 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: that's it. Nancy Ward is the head of the Governor's 241 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: Office of Emergency Services, and this is what she wrote 242 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: in the letter. We've reached out to LAPD city staff 243 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and officials as recently as yesterday, offering technical and financial 244 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: resources to the city. They're offering money. So Newsom's administration 245 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: is offering Bass money and Bass is still not responding. 246 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: The state would also provide financial support for federal reimbursement 247 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: security costs. I don't know what that means, but I 248 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: guess they're gonna They're gonna help cover costs until the 249 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: Feds to the reimbursement. I'm guessing that's what it means. 250 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: So Nancy Ward wrote, despite this outreach, we remain in 251 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: the dark. In fact, they heard that the city might 252 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: want a multi week delay of reopening. Pch oh, nobody now, 253 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: who wants to hear that despite the incredibly hard work 254 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: done by the US Army Corps of Engineers and cow 255 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: Trands and many others. Again, this is coming from Newsom's administration. 256 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: They're praising the Corps of Engineers for clearing so much 257 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: debris and they think it should be open. But Bass 258 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: won't won't explain what the security arrangements are gonna be now. 259 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: So I mean, in case you're a Palace Age resident 260 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: and you're not getting answers from city Hall, I guess 261 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: don't feel so bad. She won't even talk to the 262 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: Newsom administration, and as far as I can tell nobody 263 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: knows what they're going to do tomorrow. Late last night, 264 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: the Little Weasel, the pet Weasel's ex side el said 265 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: Bass had directed LAPD to increase the presence in the area, 266 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: but there's not a whole lot of details given sixteen checkpoints, 267 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve officers. Tracy Park council member expressed 268 00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: frustration with the lack of clarity for months. According to 269 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: her spokesman, council member Parks sounded the alarm on safety 270 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:11,119 Speaker 1: and called for a formalized plan, but nothing has been forthcoming. 271 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: This is this is this is Tracy Park asking Karen 272 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: Bass for a formalized plan. All they've gotten late last 273 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: night was all right, we'll have sixteen checkpoints and one 274 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve officers. But that's it data. There's there's 275 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: no no detail. No Remember Bass in January was going 276 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: to reopen the palisades to the public and then reversed 277 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: course thirty hours later because every all the residents started screaming. 278 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: They wanted the checkpoints in place to keep all the 279 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: all the criminals out, you know, the criminals that La 280 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: County wouldn't put in jail for four years. Why I 281 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: don't know what what is what is wrong with them? 282 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: They don't talk anymore. They don't answer questions, they don't 283 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: give out information. It doesn't matter if you're a resident 284 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: or the governor. She's not talking to anybody, and every 285 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: time she does something it's a botch. There's no way 286 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: to there's no way that we need an intervention. I 287 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: don't know how that would work, but it seems like 288 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: there should be an emergency intervention and the mayor is removed. 289 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: You don't like they have the twenty fifth Amendment to 290 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: remove the president, which is what they should have done 291 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: with Biden. You know, the whole cabinet could vote, and 292 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: the vice president can vote, and they can say, okay, Biden, 293 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: you're gone, and then there's a procedure to determine their fitness. Well, 294 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: I think we need that with Bass. We need like 295 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: a twenty fifth amendment. We need an intervention. Somebody's got 296 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: to do something. There is another year and a half 297 00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: of her hard to believe. After they screamed at Bass 298 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: for weeks, she said, all right, well, you know we're 299 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: gonna have some checkpoints and some cops. There no details 300 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: when we come back. Do you know, Ford, you know 301 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: there's a Lemon law in California, right, Yes, in case 302 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: you get a bad car, you're allowed to sue whoever 303 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: sold you the car, you know, the the dealership, the 304 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: company that made the car. Well, this London law has 305 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: been around a while, and it looks like a group 306 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: of criminal, crooked lawyers have gotten together to steal about 307 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars in phantom legal fees. It's quite 308 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: an ingenious plan if it's true. And the Ford Motor 309 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: Company has filed suit against the lawyers here in southern California. 310 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: Hoping none of these lawyers by commercial time here on 311 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: the station, but maybe they shouldn't. 312 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: All right, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from 313 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 3: KFI AM. 314 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Sixty Moist sign is eight seven seven Moist eighty six 315 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: eight seven seven Moist eighty six, who use the talkback 316 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: feature on the iHeart app and you follow us at 317 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio on social media. 318 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: After three o'clock, we're going to go back into the 319 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: big news of the day, which is that the US 320 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: Senate has blocked California from banning gas powered cars. The 321 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: Senate said no, the waiver has been revoked. You can't 322 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: do that, and Newsom is bent over naked and squealing 323 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: is very upset. We coincidentally had booked Josh Lovelace on. 324 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: He's the national director of the Safe Roads Coalition, and 325 00:19:52,680 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: it was about the about the electric truck mandate. Not 326 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: only was there an electric car man date and gas 327 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: powered cars were banned, gas powered trucks were going to 328 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: be banned as well. And now that's been reversed. So 329 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Josh Lovelace is gonna come on what that means to 330 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: the trucking industry, which affects everything that you you consume, 331 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: everything that you use, everything that's transported by truck. Yeah. Uh, 332 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: this this was an incredible move by the news administration 333 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: to take over the entire economy here and control our lives. 334 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: And then coming up in the next segment, we're going 335 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: to find out if Deborah would like to be composted. 336 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, you know, I'm still having this discussion 337 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 4: with myself. 338 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: No, no, not after death. Oh while you're alive. What 339 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: I'll explain that's coming up? 340 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 4: Oh wow. 341 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: Now in California we have eleven law many states due 342 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: for automobiles. Simple you buy a car and the car 343 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: doesn't work, and I guess there's a cecond criteria where 344 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: enough things aren't working and they can't seem to fix it, 345 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: and or they don't want to fix it. You could 346 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: invoke the Lemon Law and you're supposed to get reimbursed 347 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: for the cost of the car, you get to return it. Well, 348 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: you do that, lawyers get involved, and Ford Motor Company 349 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: has filed a lawsuit against many prominent Southern California law 350 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: firms and their attorneys, saying that these law firms created 351 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: a network and had a vast and sophisticated fraud scheme. 352 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: It ripped off at least one hundred million dollars in 353 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: fake legal fees under the Lemon law, so Ford said 354 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: these lawyers violated the Racketeering Act, the Rico Act, racketeering 355 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: influenced and corron organizations, which normally they use against the 356 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: mafia and drug cartels. Ford said the invoices they got 357 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: from these California lawyers were a magical mystery tour of 358 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: fictitious billings. Now, this is supposed to protect us from 359 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: cars that don't work, defective automobiles. Under the law, automakers 360 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: have Automakers have to pay for legal work, court fees 361 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: and any expenses with the defective vehicles. Well Ford says 362 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: that the lawyers banded together to make big profits ripping off. 363 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 1: Ford claiming that they worked many more hours than they 364 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: actually did and claimed to have bitted more than one place. 365 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: At the same time. The charge the complaints against Steve 366 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: Mickoff said he he was the ringleader, and he and 367 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: the Night Law Group where he's a founding partner, orchestrated 368 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: the scheme. But they involved many other law firms as well, 369 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: and they gave you examples of the ripoff. They claimed 370 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: that one of the partners at Night, Amy Morse, she 371 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: built more than twenty hours a day sixty six times. 372 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: Sixty six times. She worked more than twenty hours thirty 373 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: four times. She worked more than twenty four hours in 374 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: the day, which is remarkable to do that even once 375 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: to work more than twenty four hours in a day, 376 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: she did it thirty four times. She also had a 377 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: fifty seven and a half hour work day in November 378 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen. I wonder how long they did this 379 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: and got away with it. Amy Morse did not respond 380 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: to an email seeking comment, And then they connected with 381 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: all these other law firms, and all these law firms 382 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: claimed to be working on the same case and billed 383 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: for the same case. Edward mcdally is a former federal 384 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: prosecutor and a lawyer representing Ford, and mcdally said, when 385 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: you look at any single legal bill for a single case, 386 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: it might show only one or two hours for a 387 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: given lawyer on a given day, nothing to draw suspicion. 388 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: But when Ford searched across public filings, it turned out 389 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: there was a sophisticated enterprise of attorneys that spread fraudulent 390 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: and inflated bills across thousands of cases. What they did 391 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: is they had all these attorneys claimed to be working 392 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: on the same case at the same time, but you 393 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't notice it because every attorney or every firm sent 394 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: in a separate bill, and they had so many attorneys 395 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: and firms in on the scam that whoever is paying 396 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: the bills automatically, it's just you know, like if it said, Ah, 397 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: John Cobel, here there's four hours working on Deborah Mark's 398 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: Lemon law claim. Right, Well, Alex Klar was working too, 399 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: and Ray Lopez is working too. In fact, here's one 400 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: hundred people who are working, but all the invoices are 401 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: split up so you wouldn't know it. Wait, where's my money? 402 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 4: We're just all too honest. 403 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: No, you really, these people work really hard at defrauding. 404 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: I know. 405 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: I mean this is a lot of work too, all 406 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: these law firms and all these lawyers, and they've got to, 407 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: you know, learn how to divvy up the case so 408 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: that everybody puts something plausible down, like two or four 409 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: or six hours of work. So Ford says it's a 410 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: Rico act. Like I said, they use it against mafia families, 411 00:25:53,040 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Mexican drug cartels and held the angels, motorcycle gangs, and 412 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: they had fraudulent applications, fraudulent billing records settlements. Then they 413 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: would split inflated fees. And they're saying the damage is 414 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: in nine figures. It's over one hundred million dollars that 415 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: these these lawyers stole with their scheme. I mean, you 416 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: got one lady working fifty seven hours in a single day. 417 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: Now when we come back, would you like to be 418 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: composted while you're alive?

This is stuff 513 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: that's rotting, is what it's doing. 514 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 4: And I'm still waiting for the benefit of this. What's 515 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 4: it going to do to my body? Is it an 516 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 4: anti aging thing? 517 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 3: Is it? 518 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 4: Does it heal you of this terrible cough. 519 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 2: That I have? 520 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: Well?

That's where I got He did this somewhere else, 524 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: and that's where you got the idea to create his company. 525 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: He opened it in nineteen eighty five, and it was 526 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: hard to get people to do this. You sit in 527 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: a robe at first, you put a and you stare 528 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: out a glass door.
