1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:00,960
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 3: Got two rounds of the Moistline coming up at three

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 3: twenty and three point fifty. So now we're going to

6
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 3: talk with Rob Monts. We just played you a clip

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: from his film, a documentary called Paradise Abandoned inside the

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: Pacific Palisades Fire. It's being released today. It's a thirty

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 3: minute documentary. He grew up in the Palisades, then moved

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: east for college. His mother's home burned in the fire.

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: His brother Rocky, works at Palisades High School, obviously impacted

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: by the fire, so he came back to help and

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: what he found stunned him. And he said it was

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: not a fluke that the Palisades burned down. It was

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: abandoned to burn. He said it was a man made disaster.

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: We played you a piece of his film, and now

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: we're going to talk to him. Rob Monts, welcome, How

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: are you?

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: Thank you man? I appreciate the intro.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was fascinated just by the four minute clips.

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: Since this thing was released today, I haven't had a

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: chance to see this. Let's run through your background briefly,

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: So you were a Pacific Palisades kid, you grew up there,

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 3: and just tell me the background story.

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: Well, first I get the plug in, which is we

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: just dropped it today. So if anybody who's hearing this

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: wants to watch it, they can just check it out

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: for free on my YouTube channel at Rob Monts. Yeah,

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 4: Palisades Born and Bred went out to the East Coast,

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 4: and then when the Palisades Fire happened, I mean stated objectively,

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 4: it's an extraordinarily odd thing to have occurred, right, Yeah,

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: which is a couple embers in some dry brush, just

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: a couple miles from the house that I grew up in,

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: was able to grow to the point that it incinerated

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: the most valuable real estate in Los Angeles. Just stated objectively,

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: it's a pretty odd thing to have happened. And I'd

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: say when we first set out and again and I'm

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: from the Palisades born and bred there, that's where my

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: boy Scout troop was, That's where I did Christmas pageants,

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: That's where I did July fourth pageants. That's my homeland,

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: right that got incinerated to a crisp And so when

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 4: we first launched the project, The idea was when an

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 4: event so apocalyptic happens in the first forty eight hours

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: of the news cycle, there tends to be a lot

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: of explanations, a lot of conspiracy theories, a lot of

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: kind of predictable partisan talking points, and then the public

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: usually just moves on. And the plan for the doc

48
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 4: was to dip back into the fire and to actually

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: cut through the stuff that doesn't matter and identify the

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 4: specific human errors that allowed this catastrophic event to happen.

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: And you mentioned that Utez are right there. What we

52
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: discovered over the course of that investigation is the story

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: of the second day of the fire, which is a

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: story that nobody's covered, not CNN, not sixteen Minutes, not

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: Fox News, not MSNBC, nobody, nobody. And on the second

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: day of the fire is when you functionally have the

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: political leadership of Los Angeles and California abandoning the town

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 4: to burn. And that's what you're that's what you tease

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: at in your description.

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh that I've heard that story. You know that

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: we you know, a couple of clips hinting at that

62
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: or not hinting on it's saying it directly. We're in

63
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: you know, the clip that we played from your documentary.

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: But I heard those stories from people I know and

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: people I don't know that I just ran across because

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: I live in Brentwood right next door, and my wife

67
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: and I we take hikes in Pechero Canyon frequently, and

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: so we've talked to a lot of people who lost

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: their homes, and several of my friends who lost their homes.

70
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: They all had the same story about the firefighters not

71
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: showing up at all, or showing up and not doing anything.

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: And every time I was stunned by it. And after

73
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: you hear the story so many times, you start to wonder,

74
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: It's like, well, was.

75
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: That the plan?

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: Was that the official policy We're just going to stand

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: here and let it burn?

78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: Well, well, I mean the way to put it is this, Okay,

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: So the first half of the documentary I identifies exactly

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: the specific human errors that led this catastrophe to happen.

81
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: But then think about the morning of day two of

82
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: the fire. So this is Wednesday, January eighth. The winds

83
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: have died down considerably so they can put choppers back

84
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 4: in the sky to drop water. Los Angeles had been

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: flooded with fire crews because California has a policy of

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: mutual aid, where other cities and other states will send

87
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 4: their firefighters to help other cities in the state like

88
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: a staff back up. Right, Yeah, And multiple high ranking

89
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: municipal and state officials are holding flashy press conferences in

90
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: Pacific Palisades on the beach next to the Palisades, promising

91
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 4: to do everything in their power to save this precious village.

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: Right and on the morning of day two, the streets

93
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: of the Palisades are empty. There are no firefighters there.

94
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: There are no firefighters there. In something like a thousand

95
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: structures that had survived the first twenty four hours of

96
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: the fire that are still standing on the second morning

97
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 4: have been burned to a crisp by that evening, right, yeah.

98
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: So what's up with that?

99
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 4: I haven't heard much major media attention about that, And

100
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 4: so the documentary dives into precisely what happened on that

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 4: second day. We try to get into why it happened,

102
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: if I'm being honest, We aren't able to precisely identify

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: who made the call, in part because the response to

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: the fires in the Palisade was so muddled and there

105
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 4: weren't clear your chain of commands But this is a

106
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: gigantic part of the story that I think the vast

107
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 4: majority of Americans simply don't know about, having appreciated, don't

108
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: appreciate it hasn't really been covered.

109
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: The idea that the firefighters were told to stand down

110
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: is just shocking and infuriating, because you know, we're trained

111
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: since birth. And I'm not necessarily blaming the firefighters, but

112
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: the command structure, the management. It seems somebody decided to

113
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: tell them to stand back, and that just I think

114
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: makes a lot of people crazy if it's true.

115
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: So I grew up on a street called Los Casas

116
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 4: and Lost Causes is bisected by Sunset Boulevard, this famous

117
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: iconic street that runs all the way through Los Angeles.

118
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: I grew up on the north side of Los Causes.

119
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: My mom's home burned down around one o'clock in the

120
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 4: morning on the first day of the fires. If people

121
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: watch the documentary, they'll see an interview that I did

122
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: with the body of mind by the name of Nathan,

123
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 4: who lives on the south half of Las Casas in

124
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: a community of about two hundred and fifty houses. And

125
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: in those two hundred and fifty houses, there actually are

126
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: the houses that are the literal lost cassases that the

127
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: street is named after these beautiful Spanish villas that were

128
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: built over one hundred years ago. On the morning of

129
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: day two, all two hundred and fifty of those houses

130
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: were still intact. Wow And by the end of day

131
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: two there were all of them but three were gone.

132
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: And as Nathan recounts in the documentary, he says that

133
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: a neighbor of his had come back to that neighborhood

134
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: on the morning of day two and he's seen that

135
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: houses were beginning to catch fire. And he went down

136
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: to the beach at the bottom of the Mescal Canyon

137
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: near the Pacific Ocean, and saw that there were tons

138
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: of firefighters that were stationed at the bottom of the beach,

139
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: and he tells them, these houses are starting to burn,

140
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: can you guys help us out out? And his neighbor

141
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: recounts that the firefighters were eating breakfast burritos and say

142
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: to him that they've been told to stand down. So

143
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: what's up with that? What's up with that? And part

144
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: of what the documentary's about is that on day two

145
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: the Palisades, much of it was still eminently savable.

146
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: Right.

147
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: It is true that the three main reservoirs that feed

148
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: the Palisades had run dry, so there were issues with water.

149
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 4: There was also the San Yonez Reservoir, which is a

150
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: gigantic reservoir of over one hundred and seventeen million gallons

151
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 4: that was empty the day of the fire because of

152
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: colossal municipal estate mismanagement, but set that aside, so there

153
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: was no water in the tanks that was feeding the

154
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: fire hydrants. But the Palisades was still filled with water,

155
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: including pool water. And we know for a fact that

156
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: water could be used to save how is because I

157
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: talked to many Palisades residents in open defiance of the

158
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: law who broke back into the Palisades and did just

159
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: that to save their community using pool water saving homes.

160
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: And they were counted to me on camera that they're

161
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: doing this hard work and the whole time they don't

162
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: see a firefighter in sight.

163
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: I I met a guy on one of the hikes

164
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: who said his family had lived through the fire when

165
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: he was a kid of nineteen seventy eight, and so

166
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: he always had a fire hose in his house because

167
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: he remembered the original fire as a kid, and so

168
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: when this happened, he watered down his roof and watered

169
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: down his property, and he watered down the roofs and

170
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: property of a couple of his neighbors, and all those

171
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: homes were saved. Other homes in the neighborhood burned. The

172
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: only fire department personnel showed up were a couple of

173
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: guys who said, yeah, we got to get a roof

174
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: crew here. They left, and nobody else showed up again.

175
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 3: So with a two and a half inch hose, he

176
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: personally saved three homes by himself, right, one guy, one hose,

177
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: Which is why I know the one hundred and seventeen

178
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: million gallons in the Santienez reservoir, it would have had

179
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: an effect. And I know having hundreds and hundreds of

180
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: firefighters on the sea would have had an effect. It's

181
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: just common sense. It's not debatable, right, And yet no water.

182
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: Well, we talked ahead. We talked to someone that's known

183
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: me since I was two years old in Palisades Lutheran Church,

184
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: a guy by the name of George, who did not

185
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: evacuate the Palisades, stayed there for about six days, and

186
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 4: he probably single handedly saved the church that I grew

187
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: up in Palisades Lutheran Church because he had a fire hose.

188
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: And obviously the fire, particularly in the late afternoon in

189
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 4: the evening on day one, was pretty crazy because it

190
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 4: had been supercharged by these Santa Ana winds. But a

191
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: lot of the way that the structures burned down is

192
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: because some embers would hit the structures and they build

193
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: up to the point that they could burn it down.

194
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: And if you have a guy like George who's standing

195
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: outside of palace a Lutheran church with a water hose

196
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 4: and you're just putting the embers out the spot fire

197
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: is one by one, you can still save structures even

198
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: if you don't have a ton of water, even if

199
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 4: you're not a professionally trained firefighter, right, And so it's

200
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: it's really a matter of how much of that could

201
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: have been done on day two if if there was

202
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 4: just a lot more personnel on the ground, and there

203
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: just wasn't. And we just know that that was an

204
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 4: intentional decision not to do anything.

205
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 2: We just know it.

206
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: And again, a lot of people, as we've been doing

207
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 4: this media tour have sort of been coming to me

208
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: about kind of grander conspiracy theories about where the fire

209
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: came from, why it's started is there's some master plan here,

210
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: is the Illuminati behind it? I'm like, whatever, I haven't

211
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: found evidence for that, but I do tell them the truth,

212
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: which is I think what we were able to prove

213
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: is even worse than any conspiracy theory.

214
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: Rob.

215
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 4: In terms of the scandal, people letting Pallisades burn.

216
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: Rob, we should talk again. But thank you for coming on.

217
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,959

229
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm listening to you talk about Governor Idiot Newsom's COVID

230
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: restrictions during Thanksgiving twenty twenty and I'm being angry all

231
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: over again. I want to Oh my god, there should

232
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: be sky.

233
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 6: Riding and plays with those tags that they drag behind

234
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 6: that say you know this is what you did, Governor

235
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 6: Jet He should never be allowed to forget what he

236
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 6: did to this state.

237
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: And what point can all this government fraud?

238
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: What point can I write that off my taxes?

239
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: Just cod alone, I think.

240
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: They've stole about seven hundred fifty dollars per person.

241
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: You're right there, off.

242
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, Now, Karen Bath and missed him could learn a

243
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 7: lot from shephern of Serrado about running a lgitimate organization.

244
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 7: You know, all these crooks who mean politics can learn

245
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 7: a lot from him.

246
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 8: We should all wear masks and support of ICE. That

247
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 8: would drive the liberals crazy because you know they always

248
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 8: want to control.

249
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: What we do, so we should all put masks on

250
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and support of ICE.

251
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 9: Well, it was responsible all these people being his country

252
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 9: should be locked up and keep going away.

253
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 10: Tim Wallas, he's a complete moron, he'd probably I mean,

254
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 10: I can't even begin to speak poorly of.

255
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 9: In never mind, it's called global dominance. Eventually we're gonna

256
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 9: get to a point where these wells start going dry

257
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 9: and we're the last ones to have oil.

258
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 8: Then we'll be.

259
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 11: Starting pretty good.

260
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 12: So you got to keep our wills full.

261
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 9: Pluck up, everyone, else who's oil and then at again

262
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 9: tell everyone.

263
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 13: Unlikely those figures are as you have on all the

264
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 13: people's self supporting out of Los Angeles are true because Nelson.

265
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 8: Hasn't taken credit for it yet. To it would be impossible.

266
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 6: Only he would take credit for something he didn't want

267
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 6: to happen.

268
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: But some people might like.

269
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 14: The Democratic Party is part of a government gangster type

270
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 14: of setup. And these guys are stealing all the money.

271
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 14: Look at what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They're stealing all

272
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 14: the money. You look what happens, and the city council

273
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 14: foot alpain. If they just steal money, I mean they

274
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 14: do nothing for the people and steal the money.

275
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 15: You win a wig.

276
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 14: Gonna wake up and just not vote for these people anymore.

277
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Come on the mayor and the governor.

278
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 8: Saying that thieves.

279
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Would be wighd has nothing to do with what the

280
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: city council does.

281
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 9: That's the fact.

282
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: They do not control the city council.

283
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 8: They do not control the county's supervisors.

284
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: They are the mayor, they are the governor. LA has

285
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: a fairly weak mayor.

286
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 14: The city council has more power.

287
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 4: I would a dance city John even in the furry costume.

288
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 7: I'm twenty eight. Your audience hits a younger crowd.

289
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Too, I promise, Hey, John, you're looking my suite.

290
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 8: As a furry. So one hundred and seventeen million gallons

291
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 8: would have helped any of the fires.

292
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 6: With Carusoe, he had a few water tankers and a

293
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 6: couple guys and none of this stuff turned down.

294
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 8: Come on THEE.

295
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 15: One hundred and twelveth side of the Upcoming Apocalypse, John

296
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 15: prancing around as a furry on a liner note. Jiece

297
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 15: Canons still has for a job.

298
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: You know, it's really sad now the city of la

299
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: and of course in the back road news going over

300
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: the Palace Stade fire victims about this permit process.

301
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 10: After a certain age, the kids aren't brought up by us,

302
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 10: no matter what we tell them to do. It's their peers,

303
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 10: and they want to impress their peers. And now with

304
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 10: the Internet and YouTube and stuff that's going on, they

305
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 10: think it's funny to do stuff.

306
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 13: I've been to seven different McDonald's trying to get a

307
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 13: McRib and they're all sold out.

308
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: Why don't they have a year round.

309
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 13: Let's start a petition or something to carry a year round.

310
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 16: My parents had a yellow Pontiac Katleena when we were

311
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 16: growing up. We had seven kids in our family and

312
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 16: that vehicle fit everyone inside and it was a super

313
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 16: tough vehicle.

314
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, I remember that car.

315
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 12: Cool.

316
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: Thank you for leaving your message.

317
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Please hang out up good By.

318
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: That's around one of the moist line eight seven seven

319
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: moist eighty six. If you want to do it for

320
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: next Friday, next week, anytime, you can call twenty four

321
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: to seven eight seven seven moist eighty six. Second round

322
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: coming up after three point fifty and when we return

323
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: after Michael's news, you get the feeling that the world

324
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: has gotten more stupid, that people are more stupid, less educated,

325
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: can't do basics, well that whole you see San Diego

326
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 3: story about how so many incoming freshmen can't even do

327
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: middle school math, they do math at the fifth grade

328
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: level or worse. Wall Street Journal did an analysis of it,

329
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: and you're right.

330
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm right.

331
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: People are coming out of college with degrees and they're

332
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: more stupid and they know less.

333
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: And I'll give you the proof when we come back.

334
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

335
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,000

342
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: heard within the last week or two there was a

343
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: big story out of You See San Diego that one

344
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: in eight freshmen admitted to You See san Diego lacks

345
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: basic high school math skills and one out of twelve

346
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: lack even middle school math skills. The number of You

347
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: See San Diego freshmen that have deficient math skills is

348
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: thirty times higher than it was in twenty twenty. Let

349
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: that sync in thirty times higher than before the pandemic.

350
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: You're closing the schools was a real smart Gavine some idea,

351
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: it's making a whole generation as stupid as he is.

352
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: And even though what out of eight or below high

353
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: school level in math skills and what out of twelve

354
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: or below middle school level? The average high school math

355
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: GPA was a minus for students taking a middle school

356
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: or medial course. So these students showed up UC San

357
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: Diego didn't know high school math, didn't know middle school math,

358
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: had to take a remedial course. And somebody looked at well,

359
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 3: what was their high school GPA for math?

360
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: It was an A minus. So a high school game

361
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: in a minus.

362
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: They get to college, it's like, wow, you're at a

363
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: You're at a fifth grade level or worse. Okay, how

364
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: did this happen? Why are they getting stupider? It's not

365
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: only Newsome closing the schools. Oh, by the way, Over

366
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 3: Newsom's time in office, they've increased the education budget by

367
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: forty billion dollars forty billion, So it's not money either,

368
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: that's not the issue.

369
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 14: Now.

370
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: You see, San Diego is a highly rated school US

371
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: News and World Report. If you trust that, and there

372
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: are reasons not to said, it is the number six

373
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: public university in the nation.

374
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: Number six.

375
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: All right, So I told you about the lack of

376
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 3: math skills for the incoming freshman class. And because so

377
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: many incoming students were and it's described as being numerically illiterate.

378
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 3: I've also seen them use the word enumerate that means

379
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: you can't do math. So you see San Diego added

380
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: that remedial class Now, among the students who had to

381
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: take remedial, middle and elementary school math, ninety four percent

382
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: had completed an advanced math class in high school. They

383
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: had taken pre calculus or calculus or statistics. They had

384
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: and on average they got an A minus in those courses.

385
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: So follow this, you have these kids, they took advanced

386
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: math in high school up to calculus, they got an

387
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: A minus for it. They go to UC San Diego

388
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: and they're at a pre fifth grade level. What's going on, Well,

389
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: one thing is the UC Board of Regents. Back in

390
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, in the name of equity, which is a

391
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 3: curse word, they got rid of the standardized tests because

392
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 3: black and Hispanic students were scoring lower on average on

393
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: the SAT and the schools didn't want to grade everybody

394
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 3: with an SAT number. And then critics would find out

395
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 3: that they were letting in people.

396
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: Who had low scores.

397
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: Because remember in nineteen ninety six we passed a referendum

398
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: no racial preferences. Well, if you're letting in black and

399
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: Hispanic kids with low scores, then you're going to be

400
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: accused of racial preferences. So the solution is, don't give

401
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: tests to anybody. Then nobody can track why the kids

402
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: were let in. Okay, they wanted to boost diversity and

403
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: overall enrollment. They get more government student aid, so they

404
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: started increasing the number of unqualified applicants from low income schools.

405
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 3: And I guess these are a lot of the kids

406
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 3: who can't do middle or high school math. You see,

407
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 3: San Diego claimed, in order to holistically admit a diverse

408
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: and representative class, we need to admit students who may

409
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: be at a higher risk of not succeeding.

410
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: They actually admitted this.

411
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: To now, whenever you see the word holistically from anybody

412
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: in government, you know they're full of crap. That's a

413
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 3: code word for I'm full of it. And a diverse

414
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: and representative class. No, it's supposed to be a class

415
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: of people who are capable of doing at least high

416
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: school math. This explains what's going on here now. Wall

417
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: Street Journal points out that so the students who come

418
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: in and they don't know middle school math and they

419
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: don't know high school math, and they were given a's

420
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: and they don't have to take SAT anymore, Well, those

421
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: kids really struggle in college. They take longer to complete degrees,

422
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: so they end up they end up in greater debt.

423
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: They have to keep taking out loans as they're going

424
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: to school in year five and year six, and of course,

425
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: you see San Diego makes more money guaranteed by the government.

426
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: See how the scam works.

427
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 3: We'll let you in and then you sit there for

428
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: four or five six years spinning your wheels. He really

429
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: don't have the capacity to do this.

430
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: Kind of work.

431
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: Hardly any students who take remedial math ever get an

432
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: engineering degree.

433
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: How about that is tiny.

434
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 3: In fact, it may be nobody. They don't know for sure,

435
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: but they say few, if any students, if they're taking

436
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 3: remedial math, they're not going to stick around and get

437
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: an engineering degree. So it's a scam on the part

438
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: of U. See San Diego to builk money with these

439
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 3: government back loans out of the students. Students don't get

440
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: their degree, at least they don't get a degree, and

441
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: they feel that they went in and now they have

442
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: a lot of debt that they're going to carry around

443
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: for decades. The university's admissions program places a heavy emphasis

444
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: on high school GPAs, but they're not reliable because the

445
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: grades are inflated. Some students are cheating their way to

446
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: high grades. Smartphones and AI make it easier to cheat,

447
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 3: and scores on AP tests are less dependable. Because the

448
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: college Board made the exams easier, they wanted more students

449
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: to take them so they could make more money. College

450
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 3: board makes more money. You see San Diego makes more money.

451
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: You get fake scores, you end up in debt as

452
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 3: a student and no degree. The share of students passing

453
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: AP exams has soared over the last two decades. Sword

454
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: the share of students passing calculus. It's up six points,

455
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: English language up eighteen, Chemistry up twenty one, US history

456
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: up twenty three. Except you, if you actually test them

457
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: for competency, they do terribly. It's fake tests, it's fake scores.

458
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: The high schools have failed because across the country only

459
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: twenty two of twelfth graders are proficient in math according

460
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The College Board

461
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 3: is dumped down the SAT test to get more students

462
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: to take it. The SAT only takes two hours instead

463
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 3: of three. Students get more time to complete each question.

464
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: They don't have long reading passages anymore because students have

465
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: TikTok attention spans. This is all written up by Alyssa

466
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: Finley in the Wall Street Journal. So that's how you

467
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: get all those students at UC San Diego, the number

468
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: six school among public universities, who can't do high school math,

469
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: they can't do middle school math, but boy, they racked

470
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: up a lot of a's in school. It's all scam.

471
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,720

00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:36,119

487
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: He was confronted by the synagogue's private security, there was

488
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: a struggle. He fled inside his home, which is near

490
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: he said he was using a pellet gun to hunt rats.

491
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: We just happened to be outside the synagogue and they

492
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: discovered one of the shots that had shattered a local

493
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: a nearby car window. Why so many professors, you're insane.

00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: Let's do the moistline eight seven seven moist eighty six.

00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,760

497
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: Hey, seug, thanks.

498
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: For calling the moistline.

499
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 8: I'm so excited to hear from you. It's about time.

500
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 17: This is Leslie and Manchacu Kamunga and I've lived here

501
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 17: for over twenty years, seeing a lot fewer Teklas now

502
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 17: and more and more of those Ribbean SUVs. Kind of crazy,

503
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 17: but they're totally electric and the batteries in the back

504
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 17: and the trunk is under the hood, and it's totally weird.

505
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 14: The protesters demanding ice free zones, well I can think

506
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 14: of one ice free zone.

507
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Right off the top of my head in Mexico.

508
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 11: Woo John. I just looked up I guess, buddy, where

509
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 11: I'm going to in a few weeks. Norman, Oklahoma, gasoline

510
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 11: is a dollar ninety.

511
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: Nine, a dollar ninety nine, and.

512
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 11: It finally dropped down to four dollars and nine cents

513
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 11: here in Seemi Valley.

514
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: OI. We are getting screwed. Okay.

515
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 18: All they would have to do is claim that they're

516
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 18: still scared of COVID, and they could wear the masks,

517
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 18: because you know the mandate that they pushed on us,

518
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 18: wear the mask, wear the mask. Now they're saying no mask.

519
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 13: The federal government warned people. The federal government warned people

520
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 13: that since the state and city is sanctuary and they

521
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 13: can't obtain the people they want coming out of jail

522
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 13: and so forth, that they have to go out into

523
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 13: the citizen rate, and if they run across somebody, that's

524
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 13: all they will arrest them too.

525
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 19: There's a cost associated with the building permits. You know,

526
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 19: you got to pay those inspectors and plan readers who

527
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 19: wouldn't know it properly dug trench from the hole on

528
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 19: their backside. They're not cheap.

529
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 8: Hey, you guys need to quit referring to our fearless

530
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 8: leaders in Sacramento as communists and socialists. They're not, they're fascists.

531
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 8: Fascism is defined as a system of government in which

532
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 8: the state controls all significant aspects of it's citizens lives.

533
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 14: I don't understand why they're making a big deal about

534
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 14: Minnesota and mis managing all the funds, and.

535
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 13: That's been going on in California longer and for a

536
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 13: lot more money.

537
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 10: Okay, they can't get the nine to one one system working,

538
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 10: but they have a new.

539
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 6: Portal to snitch on ICE.

540
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 4: Oh my god, how come they can get that up

541
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: and running so quickly but they can't do the other

542
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: This case is so backwards.

543
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: John, you said that elon Omar either was naive and

544
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: didn't know about the money, or she didn't care. I

545
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: think there's a third possibility, and she's probably got a

546
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 1: pretty decent save to account.

547
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 9: Now, how in the hell is this insurance commissioner.

548
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: Not in jail using all of our money?

549
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: This guy belongs in jail. Put him there.

550
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 12: I'm just wondering why we can't have some kind of

551
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 12: line set up to report people that are illegally here.

552
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 12: If BONTA can set up a line to report ICE

553
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 12: agents doing their job.

554
