1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four, and 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 2: then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: the iHeart app. We've got to get to a lot 6 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: of stuff. We've got some audio to play for you 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: in the next segment. Apparently a woman California resident got 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: right up to Gavin Newsom and gave him an earful 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: It's good to see that people are putting are not 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 2: putting up with all the garbage and bull crap coming 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: from Bass and Newsom. They failed on this. We will 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: explain further how they failed. Michael Schellenberger has a piece 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: out online about the failures. They have been cutting the 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: budget when it comes to firefighting and water, the water infrastructure. 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: For a long time now, they've not been funding things properly, 16 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: and eventually there comes a day where it's track obvious 17 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: and this is a beast in Newsom production. Let's talk 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: now with Freddie Escobar, president of the United fire Fighters 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Local one twelve. It's been around thirty 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: five years and he's seen a lot. We've had him 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: on before Freddie, thank you for coming on again. 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: Hey John, thanks thanks. If I remember correctly, last time 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: we were on was for Nathan Hawkbinch, So got to 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: give a big shout out for the residents of Los 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: Angeles for doing the right thing. And I'd like to 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: see some of these looters see what's going to happen 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: to them when they're caught in this go around with 28 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 3: this crisis that's happening here in the city of Los Angeles. Yeah, 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: be remiss if I didn't, I didn't add like this 30 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: is horrific. As you mentioned, thirty five years in the LAFD. 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: Prior to that, I was in the military. I have 32 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: never seen anything like this happen in front of me. 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: It's terrible for the residents of Los Angeles, for all 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: the thousands and thousands people that are affected by it. 35 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: We personally have members that are fighting the fires that 36 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: have lost their houses as well, and thoughts and prayers 37 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: are going out to everybody. 38 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: What have you heard? What was the issue? 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: Because it seems like the response to the Palisades fire 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: was late and ineffective early on, and they ran out 41 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: of water fairly quickly. 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: What have you heard, Well. 43 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: I could tell you I was at work that day, 44 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 3: not in the field, but at my office. I got 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 3: a phone call. They told me, hey, we're helicopters in 46 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: the air. They gave a quick size up and saying, 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 3: if we don't get enough resources around this, it's gonna 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: spread like wildfire fire because of the wind conditions. And 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: that's exactly what happened. The reality is we are an 50 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: understaffed fire department in the city of Los Angeles. We've 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: been drumming that across the city leaders saying the city 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles, the LAFD needs sixty two new fire stations, 53 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 3: needs hundreds of new firefighters, more trucks, more engines, more ambulance. 54 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: We have a coverage that supports that, and we need 55 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: to represent the residents of Los Angeles, what the density has, 56 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: what it looks like in twenty twenty five. 57 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: So we're that's a significant shortage we have. We're significant 58 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: understaffed and underfunded. And this has been going on for 59 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: a while. 60 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: Understaffed and underfunded. I came out in nineteen eighty nine 61 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: we had more resources than and more firefighters. And just 62 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: because I've been saying this, give you some numbers. In 63 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: nineteen sixty we had one hundred and twelve stations. Now 64 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: we have one hundred and six stations. In nineteen sixty 65 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: nine we had one hundred and one thousand calls and 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three we had five hundred and five thousand calls. 67 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: Same number of firefighters, less fire stations. This is a 68 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: no brainer. We need to fix what is wrong. 69 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: What won't they do that? 70 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: I mean, firefighting is on the top level of basic 71 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: services that has always been fully funded that the public demands, 72 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: that is absolutely necessary. It's police and firefighting that's on 73 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: the top of the pyramid there. What has happened in 74 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: the last sixty. 75 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: Years, Well, they've cut, they've cut, they've cut, and we've 76 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: been screaming and yelling, and unfortunately it takes this crisis 77 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: for the residents of Los Angeles to be aware of 78 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 3: what needs to happen. We have the twenty twenty six 79 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: World Cup right around the corner, we have the twenty 80 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: twenty eight Olympics. We're understaffed without a major incident like this. 81 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: You add a major incident like this, we have a 82 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: lot of what we call black stations, means nobody is 83 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 3: protecting that community today. It is terrible or dark stations. 84 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: Dark stations. What about the water situation. 85 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: There's nobody who understands how three tanks worth of water 86 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: they run out after seventeen hours. I mean the fire 87 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: started at ten thirty. Firefighters showed up sometime later, and 88 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: by five o'clock one tank is gone. That's a million gallons. 89 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: By eight thirty two tanks of god, that's another million gallons. 90 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: By three in the morning, all three tanks are gone. 91 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: I mean they're sure where was the rest of the water. 92 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: You know, I am not a subject matter expert in 93 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 3: the water system. I don't know enough facts about the 94 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: water systems, and I don't want to misrepresent what occurred there, but. 95 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: We need an investigation into that that seem right to you, 96 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: that that should have happened. Is that what you in 97 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: your experience? Does that seem like something went a Why 98 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: are there? 99 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 3: There's most definitely something wrong when they do this, When 100 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: they finish this, there'll be an after action report of 101 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: the facts. We'll know more about what actually occurred there. 102 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: And I'm going to just to go back a little. 103 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 3: You know, we talk about lack of resources. The men 104 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: and women that I represent, not only that I represent 105 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 3: but all the firefighters across the nation, excuse me, across 106 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 3: the state that are assisting companies that coming into the 107 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: States are doing a phenomenal job. Specifically for the City 108 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles, Local one twelve, we have a thing 109 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: called a recall. The members called, hey, there's a big, 110 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: significant incident, show up, and we did. The brothers and 111 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 3: sisters of Local one twelve reported and we had more 112 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: members than we had positions to put them in because 113 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 3: of the lack of funding that we have to fix 114 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: our engines and our trucks. Right now at our maintenance yard, 115 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: we have twenty two engines that need repair. We have 116 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: eleven trucks that need repair, and we don't have enough 117 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: mechanics to repair them because they were cut. So all 118 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: this has to do with fun the fire department correctly 119 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: so we could provide the right service for the residents 120 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles. 121 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: This is devastating stuff that you're laying out here. I've 122 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: written down all the numbers that you have mentioned. I'm 123 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: sixty we're short sixty two fire stations. We're short hundreds 124 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: of firefighters. We have six fewer fire stations than in 125 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty. We have five times as many service calls, 126 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: and you're telling me there's twenty two engines and eleven 127 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: trucks that need repairs and there are not enough mechanics. 128 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: That is colet. That is a complete disaster by itself. 129 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: No, it's not only disastrous. And also you know, we 130 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 3: have a model at our dispatch center and it all 131 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: starts here, right. They have calls that come in, they 132 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: have calls that have to be addressed. They've done a 133 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: phenomenal job. They're understaffed. So everything that has to do 134 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: with the LAFD budget for our fire chief to run 135 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: it appropriately is not there. They're not given her the 136 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: ability to run the fire department appropriately. 137 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: And this is funding that comes from the Los Angeles 138 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: City Council and the mayor. 139 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 3: Correct. And just to give you an idea on residence, 140 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 3: our residence in nineteen sixty the population was two point 141 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 3: five million residents. In twenty twenty three point nine million residents. 142 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 3: And we have the same resources less resources. 143 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: Excuse me, yeah, less all right. 144 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: I mean that says everything that really that really says 145 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: at all. It's what people don't know about ordinarily, because 146 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: none of this is covered until you get to a 147 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: Pacific Palisades event and suddenly everyone's going, what the hell's happened? 148 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: Here are where are the fire trucks? Where's the water? 149 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: Where are the personnel? It doesn't seem to be enough. 150 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: No, you're right. I mean I've been at the command 151 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 3: post on day one, been down visiting the Pacific policades 152 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: the incident. I'd be remissified in an ad that Tracy Park, 153 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 3: Council District eleven, who's been a champion, has visited with 154 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: her in Pacific policy. I know the mayor was out there. 155 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: Tracy Park has voiced her opinion on the first responders, 156 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 3: on what we need to provide service to the residents. 157 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 3: There is no secret.

It was not planned. It 338 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 5: was very haphazard. 339 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, and did anyone try to intervene because normally 340 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: citizens aren't allowed to get near his excellency. 341 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: Usually they security block your path.

And 401 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 5: I think that's another one of his faults. 402 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 11: So I'll put that on him. 403 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 5: There was no cell reception. He should have had cell reception. 404 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 5: I don't know why he doesn't have a satellite. I'm 405 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 5: with a crew that has a satellite. So yeah, that 406 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 5: was that.

So what 661 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 2: everybody in the Palisades, everybody in Alenton, demon is sitting 662 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 2: in a hotel room or at a friend's house, or 663 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: maybe in their car, and they're saying, well, where am 664 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: I going to live? How do I rebuild? Who's going 665 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 2: to help me with the insurance companies. You know you're 666 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 2: going to get screwed by the insurance companies. They don't 667 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 2: want to pay this. This is minimum fifty billion dollars 668 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 2: according to the first estimates, probably going to cost double that. 669 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: Who are you going to go to? I mean the 670 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,879 Speaker 2: woman that we played who ran up to Newsom. I'm 671 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 2: talking to the president. No you're not well. I'm trying 672 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: to call the president. No you're not. You don't want 673 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 2: to answer her question. Her question was the hell happened 674 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 2: to the hydrants? The woman saying, I'll fill the hydrants, 675 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 2: bast won't explain what happened to the hydrants? Why the 676 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 2: water tanks go dry? Where was the water? Where's the personnel? 677 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: Why did you cut the fire budget? Why are we 678 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: down fire stations since nineteen sixty? Why are we down 679 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,919 Speaker 2: fire personnel since nineteen sixty? Why are we sixty two 680 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 2: fire stations short? Why are we hundreds of firefires short? 681 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: Why? 682 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: Why? Where did the money go to the homeless? Yeah, 683 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand goes to the fire department. A billion, 684 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 2: three hundred thousand goes to the homeless. More money goes 685 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 2: to the people who start fires. Less money goes to 686 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 2: those who put out fires. You live in the city 687 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 2: of Los Angeles. This is what you vote for. You 688 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 2: vote for people who give an extra half billion to 689 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 2: the fire starters, not to the people who snuff out 690 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 2: the fires. 691 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: Why do you do that? 692 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: Why do you vote for those people for diversity, equity 693 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 2: and inclusion. This has got to be a political earthquake here. 694 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 2: This has got to be the final straw. Do you 695 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 2: know of any other city that has suffered a disaster 696 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,720 Speaker 2: like this, with this many homes wiped out this fast, 697 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 2: with this feeble response from a mayor who's off in 698 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: Africa and a governor who may be the cluelest human 699 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my life.
