1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. Hi, y'all doing. 4 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 3: So. 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: We're about to talk a little bit about misinformation disinformation. 6 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg was on Joe Rogan's Much Listen To podcast 7 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: on Friday, said some things that should be giant news stories, 8 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: but partially not because of the fires eating up a 9 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: lot of time and space and newspapers and broadcast TV 10 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: and that sort of stuff. 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it's more about the media's hesitation 12 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 4: to admit what is plainly true about censorship and the 13 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 4: Biden administration in COVID. 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: But for instance, on misinformation disinformation, this is a breaking 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: story in the La Times right now. Investigators looking into 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: electric towers possible eating fire origin site. That's the big 17 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: fire in the Pasadena Altadeene area. Then you got the 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,279 Speaker 1: other fire, the bigger fire the Palisades area. They think 19 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: the last story I read about it, and I think 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: it was also in the La Times some fireworks from 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve had been smoldering and started that whole thing. 22 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: There was an illegal arrested. Well, a bunch of people 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: detained an illegal they saw who had a fire torch 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: in his hand, like the way you light fires. But 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: there's nobody's nailed down that he started any fires. I'm 26 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: seeing lots of social media just blanket statements of illegals 27 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: are going around starting fires in La. Well, there's no 28 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: evidence that that any of these fires were started by 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: illegal I'd be more than happy to jump on that 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: story if it's nailed down, trust me, I'd love that story. 31 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: But there's no evidence that that's actually happening. 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: But if you're on social media for a big crowd, 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: it's as if it's completely true and nailed That's the 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: way information works. 35 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: That's the way information works in the modern era. 36 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: For I know that for a lot of people on Twitter, 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: for instance, that story's done for the rest of their lives. 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Illegals started these fires, even though that's not what happened, 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: at least not yet. So that's that's a difficult situation. 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: Even if you're trying to do your best in social 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: media and you know monitor what's true and what's not. 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: You go further the other direction, which Zuckerberg's about to 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: talk about with Joe Rogan on Friday, where you're putting 44 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: out things you know to be true and the government's 45 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: screaming at you and doesn't want you to do that. 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: But let's let's start at the beginning here. 47 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: Here's Mark Zuckerberg, guy runs Facebook on Joe Rogan on Friday. 48 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 5: But it was really in the last ten years that 49 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 5: people started pushing for like ideological base censorship. And I 50 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 5: think it was two main events that really triggered this. 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 5: Sixteen There was the election of President Trump, also coincided 52 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 5: with basically Brexit in the EU and sort of the 53 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 5: fragmentation of the EU. And then you know, in twenty 54 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 5: twenty there was COVID, And I think that those were 55 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 5: basically these two events were for the first time, we 56 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 5: just placed, we just faced this massive, massive institutional pressure 57 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 5: to basically start censoring content on ideological grounds. 58 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Institutional pressure to censor content. Well, where was that coming 59 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: from and in what way? He talks more about it here. 60 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 5: It was during the Biden administration when they were trying 61 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 5: to roll out the vaccine program. And I'm generally like 62 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 5: pretty pro rolling out vaccines. I think on balance the 63 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: vaccines are more positive than negative. But I think that 64 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 5: while they're trying to push that program, they also tried 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 5: censor anyone who is basically arguing against it, and they 66 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 5: pushed us super hard to take down things that were 67 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 5: honestly were true, right, I mean, they basically pushed us 68 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 5: and said, you know, anything that says that vaccines might 69 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 5: have side effects you basically need to take down. And 70 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 5: I was just like, well, we're not going to do that, Like, 71 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 5: we're clearly not going to do that. I mean, that 72 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 5: is kind of inarguably. 73 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: We don't have the audio of this, but he says 74 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 1: Biden administration officials used to call and scream at us, 75 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: demanding that we remove COVID related content, even things that 76 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: were facts or memes in humor. When we refused, we 77 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: found ourselves under investigation by several agencies. 78 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 4: Well, right, And I thought it was ironically kind of 79 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 4: ridiculously charming that he said we faced incredible institutional pressure. 80 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 4: The institution in question is not like the National Association 81 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: of orthod Donnists. It's the executive branch of the federal 82 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 4: government was calling him in, screaming at him and telling 83 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: him what to print and what not to print. It 84 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: sounds like censorship to me. 85 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: Well especially, I mean when there is a clear penalty there. 86 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: When we refused, we found ourselves under investigation by several agencies. 87 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: Well right, yeah, As I said at the time when 88 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 4: I was howling about this, whether it's investigations or regulations 89 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: or lawsuits or just impediments, I mean, if a federal 90 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 4: government decides to f with you, pardon me, f with you, 91 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 4: they will they will make it impossible to do business 92 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: through the tax code. Witness the conservative organizations during the 93 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 4: Tea Party era or whatever. The Pea Party era is 94 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: a completely different era. I apologize I'm as spoke, but yeah, 95 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 4: it's and I was so bitterly disappointed when the Supreme Court, 96 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: in I think it was Murthy versus Missouri, essentially struck 97 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 4: down a lawsuit about this. Having gone back to refresh 98 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 4: my memory about it, it's the sort of you didn't 99 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: have standing to sue, assuming that past censorship would equal 100 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 4: future censorship. So they weren't asking the Supreme Court. Hey, 101 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: was that awful or not? It was at about a 102 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 4: particular injunction. So I would love to have the Supreme 103 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: Court hand down in whatever former, whatever pretext, the word 104 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: that no, this sort of censorship by proxy or through 105 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 4: the threat of action is a violation of. 106 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: The First Amendment. 107 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, rockstar lawyer Randy Barnett, who's got a great book 108 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: out right now, tweeted over the weekend the Biden administration 109 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: pressure on Facebook should be big news and a huge scandal, 110 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: big enough for Scotus to hear about it. 111 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: But will it. He thinks it should be a Supreme 112 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: Court case like you're just talking about. I think so too. 113 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big deal. The fact that it. 114 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Landed on Friday with very little coverage, again partially because 115 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: of the fire obscuring everything like that is well, and 116 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, I get what you're saying. 117 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 4: I think the fire is a pilot light compared to 118 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 4: the utter you know, discussed that most of the media 119 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: has with the idea of saying, you know what, all 120 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: that stuff that we were one hundred percent for suppressing, 121 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 4: like the the you know, the scientists who are advocating 122 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 4: for the Great Barrington Declaration, for instance, who are pointing out, yeah, 123 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: there are side effects, who are pointing out, no, the 124 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 4: vaccine does not prevent transmission, who are pointing out we 125 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 4: should open the schools who were saying that young healthy 126 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 4: people had no need. Anybody who had natural immunity had 127 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 4: no need to take the jab. All of those things 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: are now unquestionably and unquestioned fact. But the media was 129 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 4: complicit in silencing those people. So no, they're not going 130 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 4: to turn around and say, gee, that censorship was awful. 131 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: Without the fire, I think Fox would have made this 132 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: a very big story over the weekend. But you're right, 133 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't think Meta Kress faced the Nation would have 134 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: touched it at all, because if they can post the 135 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: New York Times, maybe they would have been completely implicated 136 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: in this sort of thing. One more clip from Rogan. 137 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I thought was interesting. You were just lying to us 138 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: about this, that and the other thing, and now I'm 139 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: supposed to believe you're one of the good guys, you're 140 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: one of the straight shooters. Now, yeah, I don't know 141 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: where that goes from there. 142 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 4: I tell you what, with all due respect to our 143 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: need to not prop up people we compete with, allegedly, 144 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 4: that's a great question by Rogan, That's an incredibly uncomfortable question. 145 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. 146 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's been the pushback since last week when 147 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg first came out and all of a sudden, as 148 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: a Bill Wright's first Amendment, guy, is okay, which one's. 149 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: The real you? 150 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 4: Or do you just yeah and fair enough? Although you know, 151 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: my goal in this discussion is not whether I should 152 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: like more Exegerber sure, not that sup has sailed. It's 153 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: about the First Amendment in government censorship. 154 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: That's horrifying that that could happen though at that level 155 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: on things that were really important. Yes, are there side 156 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: effects on the vaccine the government is forcing you to 157 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: get or you. 158 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 2: Lose your job, not allowed to say, what are you kidding?

So they're literally taking children 284 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: out of homes in Tibet, taking them to China and 285 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: re educating them to believe in the Communist Chinese Party. 286 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: That is horrific. 287 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: That is happening right now. College students are not protesting 288 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: on campuses about that. In America, government schools are teaching 289 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: your children that they can change what sex they are. 290 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: On a whim Bill Maher said, rumors he's retiring are 291 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: not true.

Came across this Ian 297 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: Bremer retweeted it the percentage of companies worldwide who plan 298 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: to reduce workforce in the next couple of years because 299 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: of AI. Forty one percent of companies say they're going 300 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: to reduce their working force in the next couple of 301 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: years because of AI. 302 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: I'm not very bright. 303 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: And I tweeted that out and somebody said, yeah, that 304 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: could be a receptionist, and they would say, yes, which 305 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: is true. 306 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: Well, if I'm feeding my family as a receptionist, I'm concerned. 307 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: True, But if it's on an employee here or there, 308 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: it's not quite as devastating as the number indicated, right. 309 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 4: All right, I guess they didn't indicate the size of 310 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 4: the workforce ruction and they had in mind. So we're 311 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 4: going to touch a bit more on the utterly unthinkably 312 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: devastating wildfires and stuff than California.

The La Times is reporting 328 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: that they they get started under the power lines. But 329 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: it's got the minute by minute on here of how 330 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: fast it went from tiny little fire to a pretty 331 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: big fire to holy crap, and they loaded up their 332 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: car and got out of there. It's just crazy how 333 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: fast that happened. And also I found the three letter 334 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: warning for today comes up with this stuff. They declared 335 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: it a PDS for today particularly dangerous situation. Okay, that's 336 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: like the official and I guess when you declare something 337 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: a PDS, then. 338 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: All kinds of things happen. Do we need that, I 339 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: don't know. It's what I wonder. 340 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: So I would say it's a pleasure to talk to 341 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 4: our next guest, and it is in a way, but 342 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 4: it's a terrible, a terrible topic. Rick Dickard is a 343 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 4: legend of LA Media Fox eleven Morning News, among other 344 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 4: credits for years, certified broadcast meteorologist, heard many, many, many 345 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 4: many times on our beloved affiliate seven ninety KABC, and 346 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 4: he joins us, Now, Rick, how are. 347 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: You, sir? 348 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 8: I'm well, given what's happening here, Thank you for having me, 349 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 8: Jack Joe. And you mentioned the PDS, and that is 350 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 8: an official term used by the National Weather Service to 351 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 8: express the heightened risk of severe weather, and here it's 352 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 8: a wildfire or the potential of more wildfires that they 353 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 8: issue those PDS's for severe weather hurricane tornadoes. So this 354 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 8: is an extreme situation. And unfortunately we're looking at another 355 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 8: powerful wind event, not quite what we saw last Tuesday, 356 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 8: but close to it in terms of wind velocities that 357 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 8: are anticipated over the next forty eight hours. Wow. 358 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 4: And I want to get to that in just a second, 359 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 4: But first, can you describe to folks what the weather 360 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: was like last week when the fires started? Giving your 361 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 4: perspective of reporting on this sort of thing for years 362 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 4: and years. 363 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 8: And I worked in the broadcast media here in southern 364 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 8: California for thirty plus years, twenty of which I spent 365 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 8: up in an airborne capacity in a helicopter covering these events, 366 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 8: these wind driven events. This is the worst I have 367 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 8: ever seen, and I was on the ground for this one. 368 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 8: And essentially what happened dynamically in the atmosphere, Things came 369 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 8: together to produce these hurricane force wind gusts in those 370 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 8: areas that we call the urban wildland interface here in 371 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 8: southern California, two of which above Pacific Palis States above 372 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 8: that iconic shoreline if you're on the East coast, you've 373 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 8: seen it in pictures and movies of Malibu. And then 374 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 8: the Eaten fire above just to the north and northeast 375 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 8: of the iconic Rose Bowl and Colorado Boulevard where you 376 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 8: see the Rose Parade every year, those two areas, there 377 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 8: was some sort of trigger in the wild land just 378 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 8: above those communities. Those two sparks happened, and then dynamically, metrologically, 379 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 8: we have this powerful wind event that allowed that fire 380 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 8: to spread. You heard what people in those areas said, 381 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 8: like a blow tours. It was a firestorm, eighty mine 382 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 8: hour wind gusts burning that chaparral, that forest land, those 383 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 8: dry hinder dry blasdshed We had months of no precipitation 384 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 8: essentially here in southern California. That Breashcot fire, the winds ignited, 385 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 8: and that fire spread directly down into those communities. They 386 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 8: Eaten fire Pasadena over towards Alcadina, Sierra Madre, and then 387 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 8: the Palisades fire encompassing the Pacific Palisa there even part 388 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 8: of Santa Monica, and then up the coast towards Malabus. 389 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I knew what these videos would be 390 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: like when I started watching them. But some of the 391 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: videos they had in sixty minutes last night and somebody 392 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: saw this morning on my phone. It was so windy, 393 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: it was like it was like CGI special effects, because 394 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: I'd never see anything like that anywhere. 395 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 4: No wonder it's been so difficult to fight, and it 396 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 4: was like a machine gun of embers being shot over 397 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 4: tremendous distances. 398 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 8: Miles that those embers that Ember cast and the Ember intrusion, 399 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 8: as we call it, it gets caught up in the 400 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 8: eaves of homes two miles away from the fire zone 401 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 8: because it was so dry out there, it ignited homes 402 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 8: well away from that major fire zone. And that's exactly 403 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 8: what happened for a good twelve to twenty four hour 404 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 8: period after the two fires started. The Palisades Fire started 405 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 8: at ten thirty am Pacific Standard time on Tuesday. The 406 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 8: Eton Fire above the Rose Bowl north and east of 407 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 8: the Rose Bowl in the Angels National Fire that started 408 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 8: shortly after six pm on the same day. Worst case 409 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 8: scenario with the weather in play and where those two 410 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 8: fires ignited, allowing those fires fanned by those dusty, powerful 411 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 8: hurricane force windows out of the north and northeast towards 412 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 8: the south and southwest into those communities of. 413 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 3: Pacific Palace states of Alcadina and Sierra Madre, including bizarre 414 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: fire behaviors racing downhill driven by the wind, which is 415 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 3: something normally that doesn't happen. 416 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 4: Rick Dickert a longtime meteorologist reporter in LA Online. Rick 417 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 4: talk to us about what's expected this week weatherwise. 418 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, again, we said it that PDS issued by the 419 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 8: National Weather Service heightened fire weather encompassing parts of southern California, 420 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 8: Ventura County, the Ranch Area, Semi Valley, San Fernando, the 421 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 8: West Santa Monica Mountains. That's very close to the Palisades 422 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 8: fire from Pepperdine University over towards point we go. Wind 423 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 8: guts again, not as strong as what we saw last Tuesday, 424 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 8: but close to it. We're talking about wind guts of 425 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 8: forty five to seventy miles per a sustained wind of 426 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 8: thirty nine miles an hour that's tropical storm force, a 427 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 8: sustained wind of seventy four miles an hour that is 428 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 8: a Category one hurricane. Those wind guts, in addition to 429 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 8: the relative humidity values of eight to fifteen percent that's 430 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 8: what's going to produce the red flag conditions. When a 431 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 8: red flag warning is issued for southern California, if you're 432 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 8: watching and listening from other parts of the country, that 433 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 8: means explosive fire growth potential, just like what we saw 434 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 8: last Tuesday into Wednesday, that blow towards effect. You get 435 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 8: that ignition and. 436 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 2: Then the fire spreads. 437 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 8: And I do want to mention that Jack and Jodd 438 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 8: of fire. These fires aren't started by the weather. They're 439 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 8: driven by the weather. There's some sort of ignition. It 440 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 8: could be something in terms of infrastructure. Unfortunately, there's arson. 441 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 8: People let start these fires accidentally. The trigger occurs, the 442 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 8: atmosphere conditions are in play, and that's what allows these 443 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 8: fires to spread so rapidly and create the devastation that 444 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 8: we've seen. 445 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: I'm really glad we had you on. What a great report. 446 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: Nice job, Yeah, terrific, Rick, We're big fans. 447 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 4: I'm sorry it's under this circumstance that we talk to 448 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 4: you about fabulous jab but I hope we can stay 449 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 4: in touch. 450 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 8: Absolutely, stay safe out everybody. Thank you for having me. 451 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: It's interesting he brings that up about the Obviously the 452 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: weather conditions don't start the fire, they spread the fire. 453 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: David Spade, the actor comedian, is offering five thousand dollars 454 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: for anybody with information on the arsonists to start the fire. 455 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: So clearly he's under the impression that some human beings 456 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: started this on purpose. Is I've often wondered this with 457 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: with with our you know, you start a you go 458 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: into a building and start that on fire, that's a 459 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: you know, specific thing. But the starting a fire in 460 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: an area that it catches on and then burns and 461 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: and burns and burns, you gotta be prepared for that, 462 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: whether it's an arsonist, a lightning strike, an electric breakdown, 463 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: you gotta have some way to keep that from getting 464 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: so out of control, don't you know the uh forest 465 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: management We're having enough water in your fire hydrants to 466 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: fight it or whatever, because there's always gonna be something 467 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: a lot more sparked it or I don't think there 468 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: is anything you can do to be ready for. 469 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 4: That weather after that long a drought and getting sparked. 470 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 4: You have to work like a maniac to make sure 471 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 4: that in those conditions nothing gets sparked and there's super 472 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 4: quick response if it does. But with one hundred malpar 473 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: gusts lots and lots of seventy five mile prou gusts, 474 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 4: you're just screwed. To summarize, although, and we've made this 475 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: point a couple of times, and it's worth making again 476 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 4: because a particular aspect of this cannot be blamed on 477 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: bad govern is no reason to not talk about the awful, 478 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 4: awful governance of California. 479 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 2: Slash LA that was a contributor. 480 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: Maybe it doesn't explain it, but it should still be 481 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 4: identified and rooted out. 482 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: I wish I could remember where I heard some fire 483 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: chiefs saying we could have had every fire truck in 484 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: America here last Thursday night and it wouldn't have made 485 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: any difference when it was gusting to one hundred miles 486 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: an hour, which makes sense. 487 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the one gent I heard, I think it 488 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 4: was on sixty minutes point doubt that if they have 489 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 4: a fully involved structure, they want three fire trucks there typically, 490 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 4: and that there were as of when they interviewed him, 491 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 4: something like twelve thousand structures had burned. 492 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 2: He said, do the math. There aren't that many fire trucks. 493 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: I was trying to find the quote that man Gavin 494 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: got beat up for on Friday it was similar to 495 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: what you're talking about.

Do I take off my coat like 546 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: a girl? Apparently I do? I found out last night. 547 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: I'll explain that in a second, But first, I know 548 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: it's head shaking lye on, I know me neither did I. Well, 549 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the story in a little bit. But 550 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: Pete hegzath. This is the week they start getting into 551 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: the confirmation hearings. I'll just tell you this reporting John 552 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: fun writing a National review. According to one senator, uh, 553 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: they might not have the votes to get him out 554 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: of committee, let alone get to the big floor vote thing. Now. 555 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: Mark Hauprin's writing in his newsletter today is he thinks 556 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: if Trump demands a floor vote, it will get out 557 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: of committee. But he said, don't be surprised if it 558 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: doesn't even get a floor vote, and there are at 559 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: least a dozen possible no Republican votes. He can only 560 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: lose three, is that correct Republican votes? And although Fetterman 561 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: seems to be a yes on all the Trump stuff, 562 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: so maybe you pick up one there. But there are 563 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: a dozen senators out there. Susan Collins, Lisa Markovsky are 564 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: hard nos. Mitch McConnell is a likely hard no, Jony 565 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: Ernst of Iowa, some others that are possible knows. 566 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 2: So we'll see how this turns out. 567 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Pete Headseth is a good man. I 568 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 4: think he has some good ideas. He unquestionably has some 569 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 4: baggage though things he said and advocated. And this is 570 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 4: not a recommendation or an endorsement or non endorsement of 571 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 4: the guy. But at some point Trump and company will say, 572 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 4: all right, how about we get a good man with 573 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 4: some good ideas who doesn't have all this baggage. 574 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 2: It's just the way it works. So I got to 575 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 2: find the exact wording on this. 576 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: So I'm eating at Red Robin last night, Katie, because 577 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, I like the classy diners Red Robin with 578 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,239 Speaker 1: my son.

And I thought, just what a funny 586 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: thing to say, and I laughed. 587 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 2: I said, was I mean?
