Can't 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: stop it. So the Fairview fire over twenty seven thousand acres, 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: five percent contain mid Blake Trolley was saying earlier, over 27 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: thirty to seven thousand people been ordered evacuated, but most 28 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of them are saying, screw you, what can you tell 29 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: me about the fire? Well, and the reason of the evacuation. 30 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: So I was talking with those that sort of make 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: these kinds of decisions, of fire behavior specialists at CalFire 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: and also the Incident Command meteorologists. I spoke to both 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: of them earlier, and what they're doing is they're concerned 34 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. One, high winds, as you 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: know covering you know southern California for many years, winds 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: are a dead mix when it comes to wildfire. For 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. It increases the speed of the 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: moving fire. And two, it propels embers burning embers up 39 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: to a mile or so away, and that's usually a 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: mile or so away from assets they're already in place 41 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: for structural protection or for some sort of a perimeter protection, 42 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: and this is what's got everyone concerned. So to air 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: on the side of caution, they want to get all 44 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: those people out of there because they don't know if 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: those winds are going to whip up embers and start 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: blowing them in all kinds of multiple directions and causing 47 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: these spot fires. I get it. So it's not that 48 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: they're like, we can't get to you. But then I 49 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: always wonder as we go through. I talked about yesterday 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: the fires a few years ago that went down through 51 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: Calabasas to Malibu. Some people stayed with their homes and 52 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: that's the reason why their homes survived, because there just 53 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: weren't enough assets to save everybody's home. And you make 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: this calculated decision of you know, for me, I would 55 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: have been out of there. I don't. It's a house, right. 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Some people felt differently, sure, And you know, you do 57 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: put firefighters at risk even though you don't want them to. 58 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: You're like, leave me alone, but they they're compelled to 59 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: have to try and rescue you. And in a case 60 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: like this where you figure the rains coming, Well, why 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: don't I just stay because the rain's coming. You're just 62 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: rolling the dice. You're just rolling the dice. But it's 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: not you know, you're doing firefighters no favors, no, because 64 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: what you're what happens then you're absolutely right. It's like 65 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: Hurricane Katrina. At some point when they told everyone to 66 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: evacuate and get out of town, some people will for 67 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: some reasons, they couldn't, you know, some of those people 68 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: didn't have means to get out of town. Others refuse 69 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: to leave their homes, and then what happens is they 70 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: become um, you know, I don't want to say they 71 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: become victims of the circumstance, but they become sort of 72 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: stuck in their homes requiring assets to go, say right, 73 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: right right, and then they're so they're pulling those assets 74 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: off of the moving fire. And it's just it's very complicated, 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: sort of feel like you just if you make that decision, 76 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: you've made that decision, and I know, you know public safety, 77 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: but you know you made that call, you know, And 78 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: it's there are some counties who if you refuse to 79 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: evacuate after you're told to do so, you sign a 80 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: waiver and it says basically, okay, you've been warned and 81 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: they've been told, but you're not a priority. If all 82 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: hell breaks loose and you call nine one and you 83 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: pop up on the screen and says, yeah, you know what, 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: we'll get to you when we get to you. I 85 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: think that's how it should be. I think that that 86 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: makes that's fair, that makes sense. That's what I think. 87 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Are you also one of those that believes that if 88 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 1: you one of those I love any line that starts. 89 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: Are you also one of those who thinks the Earth 90 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: is flat? No? No, no, no, the moon landing never happened. 91 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Oh no, Karen, No, What I mean is that, are 92 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, are you one of those that so if 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: you really, you know, do something stupid and they have 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: to deploy all these assets, that you should pay that 95 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: tab right, Like you go hiking and you don't have 96 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: any water, right, yes, Or you're in high heels and 97 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: you're hiking up Mountain Baldy and you should pay the 98 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: tab back. Yes. Do you remember that case a few 99 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: years ago? I know we're getting off topic. Remember the 100 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: case few years ago the two young the young man 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: and young woman, the couple high school kid, Yeah with 102 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: the Orange County. Yes, yes, remember, and they took off 103 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: and they were doing drugs, yes, And the search was 104 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: on forever and and somebody got injured, like a permanent 105 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: back injury, and they deployed helicopters and all kinds of 106 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: crap in. The tab was like tens of thousands of dollars, right, 107 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: which you never collect. So I ask at the press conference, 108 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: because that's what I do when I ask those questions 109 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: on you know, the one of the parents of the 110 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: kids standing next to me, and I say, do you 111 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: think these folks here should be on the tab for 112 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: the you know, or on the hook for the tab?

And 129 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: she would just come right out and ask the tough questions. 130 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: And she did because she really didn't care. You know me, 131 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: I kind of like want to use any well, you know, 132 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: aren't you afraid that there and there might be something 133 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: in your history? You know that kind But she'd be like, 134 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: she'd be like you, Well, here's the thing though, I think, 135 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: and I bet Laurel was like this too. I loved Laurel. 136 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: She was funny. But when I was younger, I wasn't 137 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: like that because I was still you kind of feel 138 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: your way around until you get that experience and you 139 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: get those chops and then you're like okay. And then 140 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: you get to that age and you're in the business 141 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: and we're like, okay, I don't really care well and 142 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: you don't really need I don't.

I'll never forget that. This 146 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: is what I love. She didn't care, but she was 147 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: a damn good reporter, a damn good street reporter. I 148 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: don't know if she's listening out there, Laurel, but we 149 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: I missed those days.

Oh with handel, 171 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Oh okay, thank you, First drinks are on me. Yeah, 172 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: what is this about that? We know the firefighters, but 173 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: they're trained to deal with heat, But you've got some 174 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: interesting stuff about what's happened with me. Yeah, you know 175 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: when it all started last week, the California Office of 176 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: Emergency Services out of the Governor's office had had a 177 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: press conference about fires going on in California and the 178 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: extreme heat and sort of what Caliso was up to. 179 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: And a question had come up in the press conference 180 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: that got me really thinking. Someone had asked, you know, firefighters, 181 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: it appears that they're getting heat related injuries at an 182 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: all time high. Could it get so bad that you 183 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: might want to scale back firefighting operations in California to 184 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: give firefighters a break. I had never heard that question before. 185 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: I thought that was a very interesting place. And so 186 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: the assistant director of cal Fire she answered the question 187 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: and said no, that we won't be doing that. But 188 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: then she went on this whole thing about you know, 189 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: wellness and kind of what they do. Got me to thinking, 190 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: what are we doing here locally with firefighters. So I 191 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: reached down to doctor Clayton Kazan. He's the medical director 192 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: of the La County Fire Department. And it's very fascinating 193 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: because he was not only talking about some of the 194 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: things they go through and the routines they go through 195 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: to try to keep the firefighters hydrated and rested, but 196 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: he explained to me that what people don't realize is 197 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: all that firefighter gear they call him turnouts or the 198 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: wildland fire nomecs pants, and but that stuff is not 199 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: designed to breathe. So when they wear that stuff and 200 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: they sweat, because our bodies expel heat through sweat, there's 201 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: no place for it to go. Because the way that 202 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: the fire retardened chemicals are on the on the clothing 203 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: and the treatment of it, it has to stay it's 204 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: a seal exactly, It's an a clusial seal. And so 205 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: this is a problem because he explained it to me 206 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: as imagine putting on an oven mid over your entire boy, 207 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: or it's like being you're you're now immersed in a 208 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: pot of your own boiling water. Yes, so now they're 209 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: faced with this. And then if you're in a wildland 210 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: fire and you're carrying a pack, if you happen to 211 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: be on a hand crew, and you're carrying a fifty 212 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: sixty seventy pound pack on your back and a chainsaw 213 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: and you know, in a Pulaski tool and all these 214 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: other things. I mean, you're talking tens of pounds of 215 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: equipment on top of the heat, and there's not many 216 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: places for shade out in a wildline fire scenario. In 217 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: an urban fire scenario, you're carrying your oxygen tank, your 218 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: apparatus on the back, your mask, and then that mask 219 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: also you know, seals your face, and it's it's it's 220 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: on the high risk. Yeah, it's not. This is not new, 221 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: except we're hearing, as you said, this question about more 222 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: heat injuries heat exhaustion for firefighters. Maybe because they're they're 223 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: fighting more fires than they Well, but temperatures are hotter 224 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: now than they were, right, and that's the problem. And 225 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: how do you disrupt that, I mean, how do you 226 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: create a new fabric that is both protective and breathable. Well, 227 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: that's that's a whole different discussion. And doctor Kazan was 228 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: talking about the fact that right now, the way that 229 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: the technology is set, that's about the best practices they 230 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: can do. So what they have in place, because remember 231 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: the story had come out also recently about the carcinogens 232 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: that are in that fire retardant. It's those in the clothing, 233 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: the body of their clothing. So they have a plan 234 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: in place, at least a county fire. When they come 235 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: off of a fire line, whether it's urban or wildland, 236 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: they have a system in place where they have to 237 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: take off all of their clothing and then they sort 238 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: of you know, kind of go like a you know, 239 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: like they do radioactive wash, like a shower. They have 240 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: to shower. Then they take all those all that clothing 241 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: and they put it into another bag, and then they 242 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: have a set of replacement clothing that's already been cleaned. Yeah, 243 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: and then they have to launder that other clothing and 244 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: get those those chemicals off of that before they use 245 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: them the next and they just rotate those around. Well, 246 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: you know what I saw on Okanaw when I was 247 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: in there there in July and August, And by the way, 248 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: don't go to Okanah on July and August. Every day 249 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: it's like eight degrees, feels like one hundred and seven. 250 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: It is just brutal. But I was there to see 251 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: my grandchildren finally with covid um after covid Japan finally 252 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: opening up. The work crews out there at mid day 253 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: will be wearing long sleeve jackets with fans that puff 254 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: them inside up, so they're the intake. I don't know. 255 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: They must have like free on inside these jackets or something, 256 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: but they wear long sleeve like those puffy jackets. And 257 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: you see two I'd never seen anything like it in 258 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: my life. Two little fans on each one on each hip, 259 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: spinning around somehow keeping them cool in this ridiculous seat. Now, 260 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: I don't think it would work in there, because I'm 261 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: assuming your intake is the external air. But there must 262 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: be some kind of free on inside of these jackets 263 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: to keep them cool. Craziest thing I've ever seen. But 264 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: leave it to the Japanese to do something very unique 265 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: and innovative. You're right, and the Koreans too, because the 266 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: Koreans are like that. Now, let's transition real quick, very good, 267 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: We've got another minute. You were downs. I am the 268 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: I am a huge squid Game fan. I hope it 269 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: wins the Emmy. You were downtown the star was that director? 270 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: Was there? Squig? What was that? So? John Lee, councilman 271 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: for La City Council. They're declaring September sixteenth a squid 272 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: Game Day in Los Angeles. Now, when I first saw 273 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: the release from his office, I said, I gotta go 274 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: to this. Well, of course I as well. I'm a 275 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: fan and the lead actor huge fan of his. Anyway, 276 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: he's been another shows that I and then in chief 277 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: of Staff is one of my favorites. He's done amazing. 278 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: It's really good. So anyway, so I said, I gotta 279 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: go to this. I have no idea what it's about, 280 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: but I gotta go. And I didn't expect the actor 281 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: and the creator and the director and all those folks 282 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: be there. It was just John Lee in the in 283 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: the in the mayor. But what they were doing is 284 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: they were just bringing attention to the fact that this 285 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: show Squid Game has now become this global phenomenon and 286 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: that it has attracted so much attention. But what it 287 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: has done has brought attention to the Korean community in 288 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: a positive way in terms of the creativity that in 289 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: Parasite it was just amazing, amazing. They were really just 290 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: trying to honor the guy. But the director, I didn't know. 291 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: He went to usc usc from school, of course, and 292 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: he spent six years in la And he says, which 293 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: made me laugh, it was part of his inspiration for 294 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: squid Game. I'm thinking to myself, well, yeah, if you 295 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: wrote the metro, of course, it was your inspiration for 296 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: a squid game. So they didn't play red Light Green 297 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: Light No. No, they did not, and they didn't play 298 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: squid Game. No. But they made it cleared that this 299 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: no one was going to be on the hook for anything. 300 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: But it was really just to bring awareness to the 301 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: contributions of the Korean arts community. And I will tell 302 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: you before we go, I did a story. When the 303 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: show was out, there was a huge debate in the 304 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: Korean American community. I went down to Kaytown and elsewhere 305 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: about the not the subtitles if you watched it in 306 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: Korean with the subtitles, that was the way to go. Yeah, 307 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: But when they dubbed in English voices for it was terrible. 308 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes the translations were not well, you lose all the emotion. 309 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: As great as voice over actors are, but what they 310 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: were saying is that the translations were wrong. Sure that 311 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: you were missing all the context. So I loved. I can't. 312 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: They're coming out with another one yeah, second season, and 313 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: they were trying to push to let us know when 314 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: that was going to happen and what was going to 315 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: be in the They all just kind of laugh and 316 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: then bow. They don't tell us any right exactly, but 317 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: I will tell you that my feature on the story today, 318 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Mark Up is coming up. He in a couple minutes, 319 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: all right, So we're gonna let you go, and up 320 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: next we're going to talk about what's happening with the 321 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: money we were sending in Ukraine to Ukraine. Jane Wells 322 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: feeling for John Kin.

Oh? Okay, and they give it to me. 406 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: But it's always the sort of song I'm going to want. 407 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: I'll ask you again later, don't You don't have to 408 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: call right now if you are a wait staff or hostess. 409 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: How why is this happening?

In the meantime, we're sending an awful lot 412 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: of money to Ukraine. Now, we all I do, I 413 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: mean maybe not everybody, but we all are in for Ukraine, 414 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: or most of us are, I would say, But US 415 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: military aid to Ukraine, our taxpayer dollars now tops fifteen 416 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: billion dollars with a b fifteen billion dollars including an 417 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: additional three billion in military aid that has just been announced. 418 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: This is actually a total of fifteen point two billion 419 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: now if you add it all up. So I a 420 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: few months ago for my money newsletter Well Street at 421 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: Jane Welsbulletin dot com, I went and talked to John 422 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: spco Now John Sapcoes has been for the last fourteen 423 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: years the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction. He was 424 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: the guy who was brought in to try and follow 425 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: our dollars in Afghanistan. By the way, we had nobody 426 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: following our dollars in Afghanistan for the first seven years. 427 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: We just it's kind of like what we're doing with Ukraine. Now, 428 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: we're sending the money over there and hoping for the best, 429 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: and you never know what's going to happen to it. 430 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: The war in Afghanistan, by the way, Cordon to Brown 431 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: University cost Americans over two trillion dollars. With a t so, 432 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: I asked up, go we'll get back to Afghanistan in 433 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: a minute. About Ukraine and what we should be looking 434 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: at now if we want to try and start following 435 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: the money sooner rather than later in Ukraine. And he 436 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: had three things he would look at. Here's what he 437 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: had to say, looking at the soul source contracts. That's 438 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: always going to be a problem the GAO, and I 439 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: think every good accounting office an agency has said you 440 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: shouldn't do them, but we tend to do it. And 441 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: we tend to do it because we want to get 442 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: money out the door quickly, and there's always some problems 443 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: with soul source contract and I'd look at that. I'd 444 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: definitely look at logistics. That was a big problem in Afghanistan, 445 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: where moving the equipment, moving the supplies, moving the material 446 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: to Afghanistan. We the US government were being ripped off 447 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: by everybody and actually paid a lot of money for 448 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: the Taliban. The third thing is, and it has nothing 449 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: to do with money itself, is so what's our strategy? 450 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: And that was a big problem in Afghanistan, what's winning? 451 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: Knowing what winning is and knowing what a strategy is, 452 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: then you couldn't see if you're going in the right direction. 453 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: And every administrations, after every disaster, whether it's Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, 454 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: says we're never going to do it again. Well, guess what, 455 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna do it in Ukraine. We're in the course 456 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: of doing it in the Ukraine. So take some of 457 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: those lessons and start applying it. But I don't see. 458 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't see that. That's probably the biggest surprise I have. 459 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: I'm shock. I don't understand why it's always the first time, 460 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: Why we don't take the lessons we've learned from the past, 461 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: and we spend all this money writing all these papers. 462 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean, his company, his office has written paper after 463 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: paper after paper after what went wrong and how to 464 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: prevent it in the future. And yet that's all ignored 465 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: in the rush. And I understand in the first few weeks, 466 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: but we're now months and months, pretty soon, we're coming 467 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: up on the first anniversary of this war, and what 468 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: are we doing to follow our dollars. Here's what happened 469 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan after he came on board. So he didn't 470 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: he wasn't responsible for following all two trillion dollars, but 471 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: he probably had about one hundred and thirty billion dollars 472 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: in programs that he was trying to follow for reconstruction 473 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Afghanis of Afghanistan reconstruction programs after the Taliban had been 474 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: defeated for a while, and also then for this included 475 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: human assistance that's sort of the usaid stuff he suspected. 476 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: I want anybody guess how much graft lost money unaccounted 477 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: for of that? What percentage We're gonna do a little 478 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: quick round robin of the money that we sent to 479 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: Afghanistan was never accounted for, Mark, Mark, do you want 480 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: to say, Mark, what is it? How much? I'm gonna 481 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: say all of it, because maybe we shouldn't have been 482 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: in there in the first place. But the actual, as 483 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: far as the percentage show, was not accounted for. Let's 484 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: go with thirty percent, all right, Eric, I'm saying at 485 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: least half? Uh, Angel or Angel, she's like trying to work. Ray, Hi, Hi, Hey, 486 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: did you hear the question? Um, a little bit.

What percentage of money that we taxpayer 489 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: money that we sent to Afghanistan was never accounted for? 490 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: What percentage? Oh? Oh easy, seventy Ray, I'm with Angel, 491 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: it's about right, Bold. Actually, Mark was right, thirty percent. 492 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: Thirty percent was never accounted for, so I guess it 493 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: was better than we thought. That equated only to forty 494 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: three billion dollars. Forty three billion dollars of your money people, 495 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: that at least in this one case, was never counter for. 496 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: And here are things when he talks about what was 497 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: considered a success, and this is a problem that is 498 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: probably carrying on through Ukraine. You consider it a successful program, 499 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: not based on the results, but just based on spending 500 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: the money. For example, there was a program that they 501 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: were going to restart or help replenish. They're trying to 502 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: get everybody off growing opium, so they were going to 503 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: the goat industry, whether it was goat milk or goat 504 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: meat or whatever, they were going to help. The US 505 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: government had this great idea that we're going to help 506 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: expand and improve the Afghan livelihood of goat herders. So 507 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: the plan was to make Afghan goats better. They were 508 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: going to fly in these better goats from Italy and 509 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how many millions of dollars this program cost, 510 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: but the point was you were going to fly these 511 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: Italian goats in. They were going to mate with the 512 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: Afghan goats. It was going to be wonderful and this 513 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: industry would start to take off. So they flew in 514 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: the Italian goats and within six months, either the goats 515 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: died on the way there or they were eaten by 516 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: the locals. So the program was a complete disaster, but 517 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: it was marked down John Safko says as a success 518 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: because they bought the goats. There was no follow up 519 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: after till his office started going around and asking what 520 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: his office has also done several investigations in the corruption 521 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: of contractors, a lot of them American. And here's the deal. 522 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: He is still on the job. We pulled out of 523 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: Afghanistan a year ago, but we designated nearly eight hundred 524 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: million dollars in humanitarian aids since last August. When I 525 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: talked to him, he was still running forty criminal investigations. 526 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: And the problem he's now facing, at least off when 527 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: we spoke earlier this summer is as he's trying to 528 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: conduct these investigations, suddenly the State Department is no longer 529 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: responding to his request for information. They are saying, hey, 530 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: your job is done. There is no more reconstruction. We 531 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: don't have to report to you on what we're doing. 532 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: And so he's going through Congress to try and make 533 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: them cough up the information because this guy won't give up. 534 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: Now we have nobody like that. There's an internal inspector 535 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: general for the Defense Department or the State Department over 536 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, but that person is looking at every single 537 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: thing that the Defense Department is spending money on. What 538 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: he's suggesting is that there needs to be a special 539 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: Inspector General specifically following the money in Ukraine, and that 540 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: is not happening yet, so expect as you see this 541 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: more money sending another two billion to Ukraine. Look, I 542 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: want Zolensky to win. I am a Zolensky fan. He's 543 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: not a perfect person. Nobody is. But he's better than Putin. 544 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: I'm on his side. He was minding his own business 545 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: when Putin invaded. I want him to win. I want 546 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: him to have the tools and resources he needs to win. 547 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, he's doing a heck of a job. 548 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: But I also want to know where my money's going. 549 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: I just want somebody to tell me. I'm willing. I 550 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 1: don't know what's a reasonable amount of graft ten percent. 551 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: I think ten percent. I think skimming ten percent it 552 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: would be great. So I would say, I just want 553 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: somebody to follow the money. Here's what I also want, Okay, 554 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: this is where I take your calls. I want someone 555 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: to tell me why I keep getting a lousy table. 556 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: What is it that makes you decide, as a waitress 557 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: or a hostess to give somebody a good table or 558 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: somebody a bad table.

I always have to 591 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: ask for another table. I even went to a place 592 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: in Newport Beach where in Newport Beach my people you 593 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: would think you know, and I said, can I have 594 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: a table away from the live music?

Hey, by the way, 607 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: then you ask for the table, Can I get something 608 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: over there if it's possible. I know, I know you're busically, 609 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: I know you're swampeding and and and it rarely ever fails. 610 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: So in other words, you haven't like, um, how often 611 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: do you make these decisions on the spot when someone 612 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: walks in? You know what I mean? Like you, is 613 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: it ninety percent of the time you just walk in 614 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: and you decide right then where they're gonna sit. No, well, 615 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: a lot of time it's already decided because they're trying 616 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: to depending on the seating. They're trying to distribute to 617 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: everyone evenly, right right. You don't want one waiter or 618 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: waitress overwhelmed and every any others are standing around because 619 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: anywhey's like, well, why am I waiting for my food? 620 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: He got his food already. So they're trying to balance 621 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: it and they're trying and they're trying to distribute it 622 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: and so you know, but at the same time they 623 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: obviously have a little latitude and it's like hey, but 624 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: but again, everyone likes to be appreciated. Everyone likes to 625 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: feel like you actually care about them, not just you know, 626 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: so coming with a smile and say, hey, how are 627 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: you doing?
