1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Well, if you're suffering and 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 2: the palisades are out to DNA, you have no idea 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: what to do. You're underinsured, uninsured, you don't have any power. 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: You figure the water is poisoned. You don't know whether 7 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: to sell out to the first offer you get. You're 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: probably confused and upset and looking for some advice. Well, sorry, 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: you're not important enough. Steve Soberoff, who's running the City 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: of La recovery effort, gave advice on all those topics, 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: but only to some Hollywood entertainment agents on a private 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: zoom call. They got sober Off's recommendation what to do 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: about your real estate, about your water issues, and about 14 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: your rebuilding problems. He talked privately to people that he 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: knows well and who has a lot of money, part 16 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: of the inner circle in Los Angeles, and he and 17 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: Bass say very little useful publicly to the rest of 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: people suffering. And I'll explain this because Washington Free Beacon 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: has the audio recording of this private zoom call that 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: sober Off gave. He's very explicit with them but as 21 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: far as anybody in the city or the county explaining 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: the atrocious response to these fires and now all the 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: atrocious decisions made just in the last few days, we'll 24 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: get to all that this hour. But first, Trump is 25 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: making news about every hour when it comes to illegal immigration, 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: and he sent down an executive order recently to end 27 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: birthright citizenship, the idea that just because you're born in 28 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: the US, you automatically become a citizen. No matter what 29 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: he thinks that if you're born to illegal aliens here 30 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: you should not get citizenship. His order got blocked in 31 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: the courts, but he's going to be pursuing this a 32 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: lot farther. And to try to explain it, we thought 33 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: we'd have Royal Oaks on ABC News legal analytic analyst, Royal, 34 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: how are you. 35 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing great? John, how are you? 36 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: I'm good? Explain the way the Constitution is currently interpreted 37 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: by the Supreme Court regarding birthright citizenship. If two illegal 38 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: aliens come to California and they have a baby, the 39 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: baby's automatically a citizen, right. 40 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: Well, we really don't know how the Supreme Court would 41 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: answer that question. They tried to answer it over one 42 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: hundred years ago. But this case is a little weird. 43 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: You know, you have to go to the actual language. 44 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: Fourteenth Amendment says that all persons born in the United 45 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: States are citizens of the United States if they are 46 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Now what 47 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: does that mean. Basically, it means your undivided loyalty and 48 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: allegiance has to be to the US. And Donald Trump 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: interprets this key phrase subject to the jurisdiction to mean 50 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: that if you're here illegally, you don't have unbribled loyalty 51 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: to the United States. You're here illegally, you're a citizen 52 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: of another country, and so your kid should not automatically 53 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: be a citizen. So that's the heart of his argument. 54 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: But as you suggest, already a bunch of lawsuits have 55 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: been filed a federal court in the Washington State as 56 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: a lawsuit, and a judge, Judge Coffin Hour, he has 57 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: already said Trump's position is blakfully unconstitutional, and of course 58 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: he's going to rule against Trump, and it's going to 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: go up to the Ninth Circuit. They're going to rule 60 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: against Trump. So the only hope is the Supreme Court. 61 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: This guy, by the way, is eighty three. He was 62 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: appointed by Reagan in nineteen eighty one, so he's one 63 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: year older than Joe Biden and he absolutely thinks Trump 64 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: is all wet on this issue. 65 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: Well, this interpretation has been around since the eighteen hundreds, right. 66 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And the decision I was referring to is 67 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: eighteen ninety eight. And it's a decision where you had 68 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: two parents and they are American citizens and they have 69 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: a kid, and the US Supreme Court said, well, the 70 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: kid was born here, and so the kid is a citizen. 71 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: But and so this decision is being cited by the 72 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: critics of Trump. But the key is the parents in 73 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: that case from eighteen ninety eight were not illegals. They 74 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: were here and they had a right to be here 75 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: on a long term basis as non citizens. So there 76 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: is no case where the US Supreme Court has said 77 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: as to a situation where the parents are illegal they 78 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: have a baby here in America. They've tried to sort 79 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: through things like, well, what if you're a kid at 80 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: a diplomat you know, you're an ambassador from England and you're 81 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: Hair Washington, d C. Young kid, the kid is not 82 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: an American citizen because his parents didn't have, you know, 83 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: loyalty to the US. If you're a kid of an 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: enemy soldier who happens to be on Saint Louis and 85 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: you have a baby, you're not an American citizen because 86 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: your parents are loyal to Luxemburg or whoever was invading it. 87 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: It used to be American Indians when they would have 88 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: a baby, the court said, well, no, those babies are 89 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: not American citizens because the parents are part of sovereign 90 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: tribal nations. Congress changed that later on, but the result 91 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: is it's a thorny problem. But you know, John, the 92 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: problem for Trump is three of the justices in the 93 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: Supreme Court or liberals, so they're. 94 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: Going to vote against him. 95 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: All they need are two more justices. Now they're not 96 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: going to get Alito or Thomas, but that still leaves 97 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: four justices and all the liberals need are two to 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: support the idea that, yeah, birthright citizenship should include the 99 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: kids of the illegal parents. 100 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's been controversial for decades because of all 101 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: the illegal immigration, and many parents want to come here 102 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: in order to have their baby on US soil because 103 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: now the baby gets the family access to all kinds 104 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: of financial benefits from the state. 105 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I mean this birthright or tourism involving berths. 106 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: A lot of folks come over and they stay in 107 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: a hotel, they go to the Ramada Inn for the 108 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: sole purpose of having the baby in the Inland Empire, 109 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: so that the baby can be an American citizen. So 110 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: in addition to this lawsuit up in the federal court 111 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: in Washington, you've got a bunch of other suits. The 112 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: ACLU has sued in Massachusetts. Five pregnant women have sued 113 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: in court in Maryland saying, hey, we want a declaration 114 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: our babies are going to be here legally. So there 115 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: are a lot of attacks on Trump's position and so 116 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it can take a 117 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: year or two to sort it out in the lower 118 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: court and then the Intermediate Court of Appeals, but probably 119 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court is going to get the final 120 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: lord on this, but it'll be a couple of years 121 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: into Donald Trump's term. 122 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: All right, very good, Royal Oaks, thank you for coming 123 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: on and explaining all that you bet, thank you, all right, 124 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: talk to you soon, Royal Oaks from ABC News. When 125 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: we come back. Steve sober Off. He's been a buddy 126 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: of Karen Bass for a long time, big supporter, and 127 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: is trying to bail Bass out out of this disaster. 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: And so he's he speaks with two faces. The private 129 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: Steve Soberoff is telling rich, connected Hollywood insiders how to 130 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: handle a situation where their house is burned down. They 131 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: may be getting low ball offers from buyers and developers. 132 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: They don't know whether to trust the DWP when it 133 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: comes to the quality of the water. They don't know 134 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: what the timeline is going to be for government money 135 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: to come in. With the Palisades, you know, everybody's frozen 136 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: because nobody is sure what's going to happen next. Well, 137 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: sober Off is offering advice privately to these people that 138 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: he hasn't said publicly to the rest of the Palisades residents, 139 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: which I find fascinating because a lot of Pallas Edg's 140 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: residents don't have the connections and the money that these 141 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: Hollywood executives do. We're talking agents here, and they don't 142 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: get sober Off's wisdom, like for whether they should bathe 143 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: their babies in the DWP water. We'll tell you all 144 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: about this and we'll also talk about sober Off trying 145 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: to shut down criticism. They've been doing this publicly and 146 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: they're doing it privately. They don't want a discussion on 147 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: all the huge mistakes made by Karen Bass, Kristin Crowley, 148 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: the fire chief, and all these other public officials over 149 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: the last month, and they keep making more and more 150 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: huge mistakes. We'll tell you all about this coming up next. 151 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 152 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: six forty. 153 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: We talked about some of this early in the show, 154 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: and we've got more on it, just to summarize if 155 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: you're joining us. The Washington Free Beacon is a news 156 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: outlet in Washington, d C. And they got an audio 157 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: recording of a private zoom meeting between Steve sober Off 158 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: and a number of Hollywood agents, wealthy connected Hollywood people. 159 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 2: They got the private call with Steve sober Off. Sober 160 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: Off is running the recovery effort for Karen Bass. Big 161 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: supporter of Karen Bass. He's been a civic leader for 162 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: decades in LA. He's run for mayor, He's on the 163 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: police Commission. He was a developer involved in building the 164 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 2: Staples Center and similar trajectory to what Rick Caruso has, 165 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: and sober Off is Karen Bass's buddy, and she keeps 166 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: screwing up. Over the weekend, she decided that she was 167 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: going to open up the Palisades to the public and 168 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: take away the National Guard, and everybody in the Alisades 169 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: started screaming because that means it would have been a 170 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: looting festival. Incredibly stupid decision. The stupid decisions keep on coming. 171 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 2: We told you earlier that in Malibu, the EPA wants 172 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: to take all the toxic debris and pile it up 173 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: near Malibu City Hall, just down the block from a 174 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: number of schools. For all the empty land the federal 175 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 2: government owns in the United States of America, it wanted 176 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: to use a lot next to the Civic Center for 177 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 2: all kinds of hazardous waste paint, bleach, asbestos, propane tanks, 178 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: and lithium ion batteries that they've removed from the burn zone. 179 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: Everybody started screaming about that. But go back to sober 180 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: Off here for a second. If you're struggling in the 181 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 2: Palisades or Alta Dina, you're wondering, Wow, I'm already getting calls. 182 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: People want to buy my land cheap? Should I just 183 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: sell it and get out of here? How long is 184 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: it going to take, what kind of aid is going 185 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: to come from the various government levels? And what about 186 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: the water? For example? Can we trust the water? Can 187 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: you drink the water? Sober Off doesn't explain all this 188 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: to the public. To the general Palisades residents, he and 189 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: Bass have been largely silent isolated. But if you're one 190 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: of his buddies from the entertainment industry, executives and staff 191 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: from three elite Hollywood talent agencies according to the Free Beacon, 192 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: Willie Morris Agency, CIA Creative Artist Agency, the UTA, ty 193 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 2: United Talent Agency, they hosted it and so they got 194 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: the special session with sober Off. Among them was the 195 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: UTA vice chair, Jay Schurez, who represents, for example, Jake 196 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: Tapper from CNN. Another executive was a William Morris partner 197 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: named Richard Welts, who represents Tina fay, Seth MacFarlane and 198 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: Ricky Gervais. So you get the idea here, this is 199 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: not a meeting that's open to you. And Soberoffs was 200 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: recommending that you hold on to your properties in the 201 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: Palisades because you'll be able to triple your money in 202 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: about a year, whether you're a broker year old, don't 203 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 2: sell now, because in one year, we're going to be 204 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: putting billions of dollars into your neighborhood of improvements. You'll 205 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 2: get triple what these guys are offering you for now, 206 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: he told them privately. Did he tell the rest of 207 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 2: the Palisades residents publicly? No, if they sell out too early, 208 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 2: they wouldn't know any better, right, they don't have Steve 209 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: Soberoff as a private advisor. Sobaroff also claimed half our 210 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: labor could get deported before the Palisades is rebuilt, which 211 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: could be extremely expensive. So he's all in favor of 212 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 2: all the illegal immigration. And what he doesn't realize. What 213 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: he's saying is, hey, you know, the labor is cheaper 214 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: because those ego alien workers are exploited by the people 215 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: who employ them. They work for below market wages, and 216 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: you don't want to disrupt that. It's easy when you're 217 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: a multimillionaire like sober Off. It's easy to say, hey, hey, 218 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: let them work at those below market wages because my 219 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: construction costs will be cheaper. Construction costs, he says, are 220 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: going to be high. The demand for commodities is going 221 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: to be high. The demand for labor, whether or not 222 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 2: half our labor is deported, it's going to be high. 223 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: And then he turned to the DWP, saying, just because 224 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: the DWP says your water is safe, has somebody tested 225 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: before you move back in. And when they say drinking water, 226 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: use bottled water, what they don't say is don't bathe 227 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: your baby in their water. Don't take a bath in 228 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: the water, don't take a shower, don't do your dishes, 229 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: don't do your laundry. You don't want to do anything 230 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: with that water until it's deemed safe. And if you 231 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: could afford it, I would get an independent agency. Or 232 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: maybe there's a kid at CBS that tells you your 233 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: water is safe. If you could afford it, get an 234 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: independent agency. See a lot of the people in the 235 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: Palisades inherited their homes from their parents or grandparents. They 236 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: don't They aren't necessarily multimillionaires. Even if their property is 237 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: worth a lot. Without that property, they're not worth so much. 238 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: And he then went on to criticize anybody who wants 239 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: to bring up the issues which have created such a 240 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: hell here in Los Angeles, all the thallops of government. 241 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: He's telling people not to discuss it. I'll explain it's 242 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 2: about the Yes bus and the No bus that's coming up. 243 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 244 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: six forty. 245 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: We're in the middle of going through this Washington Free Beacon. 246 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: This story. It's a news outlet in Washington, d C. 247 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: That got a hold of an audio recording of a 248 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: private zoom call that Steve Soberoff, who's Karen Bass's recovery chief. 249 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: He's in charge of the recovery from the fires, and 250 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: he had this private audience telling these wealthy guys who 251 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: worked for the Hollywood talent agencies like William Morris, CIA 252 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: and UTA that they ought to hold on to their homes. 253 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: In a year, it'll be worth triple because there's going 254 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 2: to be so much money being poured into the palisades. 255 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: You shouldn't drink the DWP water. How come he's telling 256 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: his friends not to drink the DWP water and not 257 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: to bathe their babies, but the rest of the public 258 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: isn't given the same warning. If that's what he believes, 259 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: why doesn't he and Karen Bass at the press conference, 260 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: tell us not to drink the water. This is crazy, 261 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: absolutely crazy. At some point he made it clear that 262 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: he doesn't want to hear criticism. There are only two 263 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: busses here. One's t yes, which I'm on, and one 264 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: is the bus to know. And the bus to know 265 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: is looking for reasons why this happened, looking at the politicians, 266 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: looking at the reservoir, looking at the science. All that's okay. 267 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: It's just that I can't spend any time on that, 268 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: and he doesn't want anyone else to either. He told 269 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: these rich Hollywood guys that they should wait five or 270 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: six months for a report on what actually happened. Five 271 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 2: or six months, so it maybe some time in July. 272 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: They're gonna tell us why the fire chief kept a 273 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: thousand firefighters off duty and dozens of fire engines. And 274 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: they're gonna tell us why janiez Is didn't fill the 275 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: one hundred plus million gallon reservoir. They're gonna tell us 276 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 2: why they didn't preposition fire trucks and firefighters up in 277 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 2: the hills when there were this ex there's extreme fire warning. 278 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: It's six months. We're gonna find out why Karen Bass 279 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 2: thought it was more important to being Ghana than to 280 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: be running emergency operations here six months. You know, what 281 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: they want is everybody to forget to the passions to 282 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: die down, people to lose interest, and then have the 283 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 2: have it, have it come out in six months, Oh 284 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: you know, maybe like the July fourth weekend. Maybe, uh, 285 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 2: you know, right before a long weekend, so the news 286 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 2: coverage is minimum and people are not in the mood. Yeah, okay, yeah, 287 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 2: I remember, I remember that fire. Sure, that's what they want, 288 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 2: and they want to get away with it. They want 289 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: to keep their jobs. Niece Canonias wants to keep that 290 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: three quarters of a million dollar salary. Karen Bass wants 291 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 2: to keep her sorry job as mayor. She's got more 292 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: trips to go on. That's why she took the job. 293 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 2: They take these jobs for the junkets. Otherwise they would 294 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: never have a job where they could afford that kind 295 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: of travel. That's why it was so more important to 296 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: be in Africa than in the Palisades. So he told 297 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: them wait five or six months, and in the meantime, 298 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: get on the bus to Yes. In other words, look ahead, 299 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 2: don't look backwards. I've never seen anything like this, worst 300 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: disaster in American history. Worst fire disaster in American history 301 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 2: for a single city. Well, let's forget about it at uh, 302 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: let's not play the blame game. No finger pointing, you know, 303 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 2: no Monday morning quarterbacking, no more second guessing, all the phrases. 304 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 2: See what they do is they f up really really 305 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: bad and they kill people, and they cause billions of 306 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: dollars the damage. They ruined people's lives, and it's like 307 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: all right, all right, yeah, yeah, okay, no figure pointing. No, 308 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 2: they have all these they have all these phrases to 309 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 2: intimidate you from holding them accountable. They don't want to 310 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 2: be held accountable. They want to go on with their lives. 311 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: That's infuriating. You ruin the lives of tens of thousands 312 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: of people, You killed people, You're bankrupting people. He admits 313 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: that there's probably hardly anybody is going to have enough 314 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 2: insurance money to cover the rebuild that most people, there's 315 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: gonna be a gap. Uh. But he says, if you 316 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: do this kind of criticizing, you're on the bus to know. 317 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 2: He says it'll take five years for people to rebuild 318 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 2: their homes. One of the agents, Jay sure Is, started 319 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 2: complaining about Los Angeles us permitting process, which holds everything up. 320 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: Sure has said everything has been a joke, the whole 321 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 2: process of permitting in the city of la And Soberoff 322 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: interrupted and said, I thought you said this wasn't going 323 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: to be political. Now I want you on the bus 324 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: to yes please. I want you on the bus to 325 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: yes please. That's not political. He's pointing out that the 326 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: city government is broken, their permitting process is broken, and 327 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: normal people can't get what they need to accelerate the rebuild. 328 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: Uh oh, looks like you're on the bus to know. 329 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 2: If I were you, i'd get off that bus right now, 330 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: as to yes is gone this way, and we're not 331 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: going to come and pick you up.

Then he goes on to say sober 334 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: Off says that only five percent of Palisade's residents can 335 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: afford their house now because most of them inherited the 336 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 2: house from their parents or grandparents, or they bought their 337 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: houses a long time ago before the constriction and real 338 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: estate price is skyrocketed. He said, the costs are going 339 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 2: to be nuts nuts one thousand to twelve hundred per 340 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: square foot to rebuild a thousand to twelve hundred. There's 341 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 2: no one in the Palisades who won't have a gap 342 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 2: between what their insurance policies will pay out and the 343 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: costs to reconstruct their homes. He doesn't know what kind 344 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 2: of money will be available to make up the shortfalls, 345 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: but he said the best thing is to get your 346 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: building plans together higher legal help. Oh yeah, you got 347 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 2: to hire your own water testing company, and then you've 348 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: got to hire your own law firm to help negotiate 349 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: with the insurance companies. Boy, is this guy out of touch. 350 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: This guy has been living rich for so long he 351 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: can only talk to rich people on the phone to 352 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: explain how difficult recovery is going to be. And then 353 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: he told them to hold on to their lots and 354 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: don't accept the low ball offers. Oh, and then he 355 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: says he's going to wrap up his duties within ninety 356 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: days and turn them over to turn the recovery over 357 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: to engineering firms. So he's out of here. Because you know, 358 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: this job doesn't pay, it's volunteer. Do you believe this? 359 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: This is the guy Karen Bass picked. He can't wait 360 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: to say, Hey, I'm out of here in ninety days, 361 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: and make sure you're on the bus to Yes, he 362 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: doesn't want to hear any criticism. The whole problem with 363 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: rebuilding is you can't get the permits. Whether there's a fire, 364 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: disaster or not, you can't get permits because the bureaucracy 365 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles is so clotted and congested and made 366 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 2: up of so many stupid people who work in government, 367 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: And basically it's a legal shakedown. They just want to 368 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: shake down all kinds of fees and fines from you. 369 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: Oh that's the bust to know. I'm sorry, the bust 370 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 2: to know isn't running anymore. Oh my god, the arrogance 371 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 2: and the pompousness of it all. There's dead people. Hey, 372 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: if I had if I had somebody who burned to 373 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: death in my family, can I can I raise my 374 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: hand to talk about it? No? No, that's the bus 375 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 2: to know. I'm bankrupt. I didn't have. Oh, by the way, 376 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: I got to reiterate what we heard yesterday. The insurance 377 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: companies pulled out in before the fire because they had 378 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: done their own investigation and they knew that the reservoir 379 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 2: sent in as reservoir was empty. They knew that, and 380 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: they looked at the brush build up, and they knew 381 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 2: the brush wasn't cleared by the government, So they knew 382 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: if a fire happened, happened, it would be devastating, it 383 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: would be extremely destructive. That's why they were cutting off 384 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: people's insurance. Of course, Steve, Steve Soberoff didn't give it 385 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 2: even a warning to his wealthy buddies about that. How 386 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: come the public know what the insurance companies do? How 387 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 2: come Karen Bass and Steve Soberoff didn't know. Why didn't 388 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: they know? Why didn't they tell everybody, Hey, you don't 389 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: have insurance because it is so dangerous. Right now? We 390 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: have fire hydrants from nineteen the nineteen forties. There was 391 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: another story of the New York Times today, fire hydrants 392 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: from the nineteen forties, a reservoir, completely empty, brush built 393 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 2: up on all kinds of government land. And to talk 394 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: about it publicly, Oh, that's the bus to know. Oh, 395 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 2: don't trust the water. But yeah, the writer for this 396 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 2: story in the Washington Free Beacon is going to come 397 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: on the show tomorrow, So I guess you know what 398 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: the bus is going to board tomorrow, The bus to know. 399 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: Soberoff doesn't want to be held accountable. Neither is Karen Bass, 400 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: Neither is jeniez Kinonyez, neither all those bastards on the 401 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 2: La City Council who never funded the fire department. The 402 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: fire chief doesn't want to be held accountable. They all 403 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: want just wait for the after action report. That's the 404 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: phrase I keep here. Yes, we're gonna have an after 405 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: action report in six months, you know, during the July 406 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 2: fourth weekend, maybe when some of you were out of 407 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: the country. She goes out of the country during high 408 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: fire season. You'll go out of the country in the 409 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: summertime maybe, And that's when Karen Vassil released the report. 410 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 2: A bunch of cowards, huh, A bunch of absolute cowards, death, bankruptcy, destruction, 411 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: people's lives ruined for many years, and to even ask 412 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: about it, that's the bus to know. Wow. And she's 413 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: running around trying to strip the National Guard out of 414 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 2: the palisades, let the looters. In mean time, the EPA 415 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: is dumping all the toxic debris at the Malibu Civic Center. 416 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: I don't know what to do about this, but you've 417 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: done a real great job voting for this crew. Holy moly, 418 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 2: more coming up. 419 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six. 420 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: Forty Conway coming up in minutes. So we learned today 421 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: that California, rather, I should be specific, the city of 422 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, seventeen percent of the fire hydrants are from 423 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 2: the nineteen forties. They have two and a half inch 424 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: water outlets, and the standard is four inches now twenty 425 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: four percent of the fire hydrants in the Palisades, twenty 426 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: four percent are from the nineteen forties. With these small 427 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: two and a half inch outlets, with four inches, you 428 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: get much greater waterflow. Obviously, there was never any money 429 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: spent to buy new fire hydrants. And then I looked 430 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 2: today and in Sacramento, the California Assembly is trying to 431 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: pass fifty million dollars still to trunk proof the state. 432 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 2: They started this project and then the fires hit and 433 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: they were embarrassed because we found out there's no funding 434 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 2: for the fire department. Right the LA Fire Department is 435 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: only half funded. Nobody even turned on a hose to 436 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: fill up the one hundred million gallon reservoir. Fire hydrants 437 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: are from the nineteen forties. Nobody is spent on clearing 438 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: the brush around and by the way, this goes for 439 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 2: all all right. I've been focusing on the Palisades because 440 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 2: the fires were there, But in all the other towns 441 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 2: on both sides of the Santa Monica Mountains, the brush 442 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 2: isn't being cleared. Much of it is on various government lands. 443 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: But you could go to the east, you know, all 444 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: the way past Hollywood, and the brush isn't being cleared. 445 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 2: Nor is it being cleared in the San Fernando Valley 446 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 2: along the mountains. But they've got two bills. One would 447 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: create a state litigation Fund twenty five million dollars to 448 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: assist protecting California illegal aliens. Legal assistant for immigrant communities, 449 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: free legal services. Why they're here illegally. If they need 450 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: a lawyer, they should pay for the lawyer. They created 451 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: the trouble. Why am I paying for their lawyer when 452 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 2: they broke the law and settled here knowingly and I'm responsible, 453 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: you're responsible. And I don't have a fire department. Well 454 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 2: I have half a fire department. I've got eighty year 455 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: old fire hydrants. 456 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: Uh. 457 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: That's astonishing. Free legal services. Conway's coming on now?

Isn't that cool? 463 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 5: That is cool? 464 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: Oh that's that's even cooler. 465 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, there's a big controversy going on, I think, 466 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 4: and Yahoo and Trump are talking about if the Kansas 467 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 4: City chiefs Wing can they use the term three peat? 468 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: Is that tackling the heart? 469 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 4: That's why they're in Washington right now. Yahoo says yes. 470 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 4: Trump says he does not, not quite sure. 471 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 472 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 4: I mean, you can do four minus one pete, two 473 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 4: plus one pete. 474 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. Pat Riley owns that mark, right right. 475 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 4: Remember what Lebron James tried to trademark Taco Tuesday? 476 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: Remember that he went after Taco Tuesday? Oh yeah, and 477 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: they found some taco shop in New Jersey that already 478 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 2: had trademarked. 479 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 4: Right Yeah, So I mean, yeah, that's odd, that's really strange. 480 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 4: Pat Riley really did, Yeah, he owns it.
