1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Can I get a hold of iHeart human Resources. I

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: have a complaint to file about a fellow employee. File

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: it right here, we take the complaints. Deborah Mark is

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: bothering me the pictures of her dogs this morning. I

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: wanted to make you smile, Ken. I wanted to put

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: you in a good move. Oh that that was a

7
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: really cute picture. Thank you. Oh I've lost you now,

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: I thought. I thought deb and her two dogs, like,

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, you've really gone over to the dark.

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: It was model quality. Suddenly you who hated social media

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: picture posting selfie idiots, and now like a cute dog.

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: It was. It's a very cute. It brought a smile

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: to my face. That's why I wanted to bring a

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: smile to Ken's face, because he's not on social media.

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: It brought a groan as I told her, like, oh

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: my god, say seriously, he will seriously get a life,

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: and she has to do like Happy Wednesday or something

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: every cliche. All right, Well, people are still stuck San Bernardinia,

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: San Berdino County Mountain residents trapped in their homes, and

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: of course there was another round of snow overnight. Blake

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: Trolley is coming eyes covering this story for Cafie News

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: with the latest blake. How are you well, guys, These

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: communities out here continue to get pounded. Of course, yesterday

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: we shared those stories of people trapped inside their homes

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: from the already insane snow storms, some people losing power,

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: supply chain challenges as trucks remain at the bottom of

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: the mountains, and those challenges just became more difficult as

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: last night the mountains received a bunch more snow. Big

29
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Bear got eight inches, Lake Arrowhead twenty two inches, Cressline

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven inches of additional snow. On top of those

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: issues we've already been hearing about, we're now hearing that

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: roofs are failing as they're being weighed down with heavy snow.

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: That includes the roof. I heard you talking about this

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: John of a grocery store in the mountains. Officials say

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: the snow is a huge setback to roads which have

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: already been closed for some time. They say they're now

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: anticipating more than a week for all rows in the

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: area to open up. County public Works Director Brendan Biggs

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: says they're going to first focus on opening primary channels

40
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: or primary roads, then work their way into more of

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: those secondary interior roads. The storm covered the entire mountain

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: range from right Wood all the way over to forth Falls.

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: With this heavy amount of snow that you see, that's

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: too much for the local resources to keep up with.

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: So a lot of the primaries and secondaries and state

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: highways were buried and we're in the process of digging

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: them out right now. Just to give you a little

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: bit of context, the county has five hundred miles of

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: roads throughout the mountain areas that we have to plow.

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Caltrans is another one hundred and seventy three. It's a

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of roads to cover are that need to be

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: dug out. When the snow is normal conditions, when it's falling,

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: you may have a few inches where you're using these

54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: plow trucks and graters to keep up with it. Once

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: it gets to a certain depth that no longer can

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: be plowed with those types of equipment, you have to

57
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: do a snow removal with these loaders where you're actually

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: digging your way out, and that's where we're at right now,

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: is to try to dig our way out, so it's

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: very slow going. Samarino County Fire Chief Dan Munsey has

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: likened the snow up in the mountains to two an earthquake,

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: and we always plan for the earthquake. Can we advise

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: all of our citizens, all our residents across southern California

64
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: be prepared for long term events? And this is that case.

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: We know that our residents had been shut in in

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: some cases for a week. They could go on another

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: another seven to ten days before we're able to get

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: those roads plowed to those residents. But to specifically give

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: you a time to chamber, I'll turn it over to

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: one of the county or caltrans ore opresentatives that may

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: be able to tell you, without any additional snowfall, how

72
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: long it will take. And again they said, you know,

73
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: judging by the fact that, uh, you know, without any

74
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: snow it could take up to two weeks. Let me

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. The reporters who are bothering me, guys,

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: you go all right, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna

77
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: go with Ken because he was polite. I'm thank you.

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: They do that much of a comparison. But yeah, it's

79
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, they bring an extra fire equipment to fight

80
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: big fires. Why can't they just bringing all sorts of

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: snowplows from all over the place and get this thing

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: done well. And so that's the thing, guys. You know,

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I asked the county officials, do you feel like the

84
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: state is is, you know, responding to this? Do you

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: feel supported? Essentially? Is what I had asked during this

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: press conference. You know, the state says it's sent extra plows,

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: it says it's been coordinating with supply deliveries. But I

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: still have questions when I'm hearing seven to ten days

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: for some people who are stuck in their homes roads

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: to be cleared. So I spoke with Supervisor Don Row

91
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: about this. You know a lot of these communities are

92
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: in her district, and I asked her that question about timing,

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: because when I first had asked about if the agencies feel,

94
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, if the states support them, she was kind

95
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: of back off the podium. She didn't have a chance

96
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: to answer that. So here's a little bit of that discussion.

97
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: Are you satisfied with what the state has done? We didn't,

98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't hear from you during the press

99
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: conference that I have to ask you that these are

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: your communities. I am frustrated with what appears to be

101
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: the slowness of the response. I think everybody would like

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: it to be quicker. And I you know, when we

103
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: talk about earthquakes and earthquake preparedness, this is a great

104
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: example of how we should have extra food on our

105
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: shelves and water for these types of emergencies. I would

106
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: like it to be faster, but I understand that the

107
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: state is doing what they can. Okay, gotcha. But back

108
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: to that point. You know we're hearing seven to ten days.

109
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: Are you satisfied with that number? That's a long time

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: for residents to be holed up in a house. So

111
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: we'll do what we can to get additional equipment in

112
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: both from Caltrans and the state Office of Emergency Services

113
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: to get those residential roads plowed. You talk about the

114
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: slowness of the state, you know, frustrating. You can you

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: elaborate on that a little bit and how how it's

116
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: frustrated you. And then also the federal government. You know,

117
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: we asked about federal resources as well. You know, our

118
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: state partners, while they may not be as nimble as

119
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: we want them to be and as quick to respond,

120
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: they're accessible, they are sympathetic, and they are trying to help.

121
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: So my frustration is not necessarily with them, but just

122
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: rather the overall clunkiness of government and how we respond

123
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 1: in situations like this. I wish it could be faster.

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: That would it speed up any if there was an

125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: actual state of emergency declared by the governor about this.

126
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: I know Assemblyman Tom Lackey did call for that. Not necessarily,

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of that is only for reimbursement purposes. So

128
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: as you heard our Chief executive Officer, Leonard Hernandez say,

129
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: the Board will now authorize in the special Board meeting

130
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: that will take place either later today or tomorrow, additional

131
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: funds from the county General Fund to be expended on this.

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: The States Declaration will help us seek reimbursement for those funds. Okay, okay, boy,

133
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: that so many things frustrated me. My head's going to

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: explode here. It's nice that all these officials are giving

135
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: out the public service announcements to keep extra food on

136
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: the shelf, But at the moment, there are people trapped

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: in there for a week, maybe for another week and

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: a half who don't have food or have very little food.

139
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: So wagging your finger and giving the public service announcement

140
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: lecture is not going to work. Secondly, for all the

141
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: taxes that everybody in San Bernardino County pays, shouldn't there

142
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: be an immediate response. What is her going, Well, you

143
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: know government is clunky. Well, it can't be clunky. It's

144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: an emergency situation. And an emergency doesn't mean you fill

145
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: out a form and you get a reimbursement sooner. Emergency

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: means that you actually have manpower and equipment showing up

147
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: immediately to dig these people out. I'm looking at Twitter.

148
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: There's a woman named Mimi Ryan who wrote, Gavin Newsom,

149
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: we need you to deploy the National Guard to cresh

150
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: line Lake Arrowhead in Twin Peaks. Please roofs and roofs

151
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: and deitly just finish this line. Roofs and decks are collapsing.

152
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: People are running out of food, medications, formula, lots of

153
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: people without power, people are trapped. Now, if what she's

154
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: saying is true, is one of the weird things is

155
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: we can't get any information about what really is going

156
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: on on the inside. If that information is true, there

157
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: should be swarms of emergency personnel, state and federal because

158
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: these people are gonna die. They're gonna starve to death

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: and freeze to death and die and the medication's gonna

160
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: run out and they're gonna die. I posted some video yes,

161
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: or actually know somebody that lives up in that area

162
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: pretty well, and she said she had left her house

163
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: in five days. I posted the video to Twitter if

164
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: anybody wants to see this, it's at Blake Trolley KFI.

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: Really good look at the conditions up there on the mountain.

166
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: Of course, I asked about the National Guard because that

167
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: seems like the most obvious thing here is where is

168
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: the National Guard? So I asked CEO County CEO Leonard

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: hernad Is about the National Guard because again, John, as

170
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: you mentioned, it seems like it would be pretty helpful

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: in this situation to have Guard members here and ready

172
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, So national Guard resources, I understand how

173
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: been requested. What has the state's versus bonds to that

174
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: ben So the State's responds to our requests. They are

175
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: looking at available resources. There's two requests we have for

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: manpower and for equipment. So they're in the process going

177
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: in what they have available to get to our local

178
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: bail of connections with cal fire and others, so that

179
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: we can get those requests in right now in the

180
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: process of identifying exactly what we need. As was mentioned,

181
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: we have a lot of resources deployed. They've been deployed

182
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: long before we declared a state of emergency, as our

183
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: public work team comes together days before a storm event happens.

184
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: So at this point we're making we're willing to make

185
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: sure that we have the right resources that we can

186
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: house them, the manpower, and we're lining all of that

187
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: up right now in an incident command structure. We got it,

188
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: We got a break. So just hang on. Blake trolley

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: up in the San Bernardino Mountains in San Bernardino County

190
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: where thousands of people are trapped. Tim Donnelly, former state

191
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: assemblyman who lives up there, he's gonna be on the

192
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: show later, says there's nine feet of snow where he

193
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: lives in Twin Peaks. Nine feet and the roof of

194
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: the grocery store collapsed, and so did the roof of

195
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: the ace hardware and crest line collapsed. All right, Johnny

Speaker 1: Ken Cafe, I Am six forty Live everywhere the iHeart

197
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: Radio app All right, Well, we're talking about the people

198
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: who had trapped in their homes up in the sandberg.

199
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: You know, County mountain communities of course, not only to

200
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: get the big snowstorm last week, but there was quite

201
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: a bit more that dropped overnight, and some of these

202
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: people have not been able to get out of their

203
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: homes to get anything like essentials. I was thinking, why

204
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: can't they drop like food packages in front of homes

205
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: and things like that. Well, don't drop it on the roof.

206
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: It might crash in. But I don't don't know. This

207
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: is such an unusual situation, and I am obviously in

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: northern California they get this kind of snow a lot,

209
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, up in Mammoth Mountain, Big ski resorts, the

210
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Sierra Nevada is there's there's that's probably they're ready with

211
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: the equipment, right exactly, those are ski resorts. They got

212
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: to get the roads open for people to come up

213
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: and enjoy the snow. This area gets some snow. Big

214
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Bear gets gets people of the ski right, yeah, Because

215
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Big Bear starts at seven thousand feet and I think

216
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: the top of their mountains are nine to eleven thousand feet.

217
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: It is only fifty five hundred feet in the surrounding area,

218
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: so it doesn't get that much snow. It gets some

219
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: and it depends on the year. I mean, we've been

220
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: going up there. We've had a place up there for

221
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: eighteen years, and we've been going up there for over

222
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: twenty and I've never seen anything like this. I mean,

223
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: this is just mind boggling, and apparently it hasn't happened

224
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: in anybody's memory. So and it sure looks beautiful from

225
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: our vantage point far away. You look up at the

226
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: mountains there. Have you seen that that people apparently stopping

227
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: on freeways to take pictures. It's gorgeous, so bad. I yeah,

228
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: I want to go out and drive just to look

229
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: at it. We got Susan stuck in Lake Ourhead for

230
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: a week now. Susan, you're on the John and Ken Show.

231
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: What's going on? I love you guys. By the way,

232
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: we are stuck here at fifty six hundred feet and

233
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: we're at the very top of Lake Arrowheads where we

234
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: view the entire lake, and our road is just plowed yesterday.

235
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: It took six to get it cloud and we have

236
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: already another four feet on it. Oh do you have

237
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: enough food? Oh? We do, we do. We have been

238
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: helping neighbors, people that are renting vacations homes with food

239
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: because they can't go anywhere I have power and such. Right, Yes,

240
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: we did lose power this morning, and some of our

241
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: neighbors lost power yesterday. Part of Lake Arrowhead, like a

242
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: big portion was out of power yesterday. I don't know

243
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: their power is back yet, but there's a lot of

244
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: people that are stuck up here. People they can't even

245
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: open their doors. So yeah, I mean you said you've

246
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: lived there quite a while, is it because there's just

247
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: so much all at once that you guys haven't seen

248
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: it a long time that they can't get everything plowed

249
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: and get people access. Listen, I grew up in New York.

250
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this. There is no access

251
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: in and out of Lake Garrowhead right now. It is

252
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: completely shut down. Um do you are you were of

253
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: anybody in real trouble because you know, some people I imagine,

254
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: especially if they just came up for the weekend, could

255
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: be seriously out of food. There was one woman yesterday,

256
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: an older woman who you know, her her oxygen machine

257
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: stopped because the power went off and rescue workers were

258
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: taking her from one shelter to the next because she

259
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: needed to plug in her machine. That that kind of stuff.

260
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: There has been a lot of that, and they do

261
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: have the fire department has um like I think they're

262
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: called SnowCat and they have been rescuing people and bringing

263
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: them to our local hospital, so that's been really great.

264
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: But getting to them even when our main roads are

265
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: not clear, I mean some of them are clear one lane.

266
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: If you try to go out on it, you may

267
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: have to back up a couple of miles if there's

268
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: an emergency vehicle traveling. So it is really bad and

269
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: it's like a gridlock up here. And the people that

270
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: have tri exiting ended up being stuck. They had four

271
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: wheel drive chains, had to abandon their car and walked

272
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: back four or five miles. So nothing's working, not the

273
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: four wheel drive, not the chains. No, it is not working.

274
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: And the big cat that we had here yesterday cleaning

275
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: our street was here for a couple of hours and

276
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: it's all completely covered again. We have cars buried under

277
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: snow where you cannot see there's a car there. Oh wow, Yeah,

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: it is. It is bad. I don't know what we're

279
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna do, but I think it's going to take a

280
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: while to clear all these roads. I know everybody. There's

281
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people stucks that are wanting to go home.

282
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, all the communities up here, but the problem

283
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: is that they are letting a few cars in at

284
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: a time, and a huge majority of them are getting stuck.

285
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: They can't make it to their home. They have to

286
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: park and walk, which means abandoned the car on the

287
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: middle of the road and walk. And that's creating more

288
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: problems than anything, because the plouts can't get to the

289
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: roads because they can't fit when there's abandon car and

290
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the area is all spread out. I mean, you have

291
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: these little towns dotted in the mountains, but they they're

292
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: miles and miles from each other. I mean, to go

293
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: from Lake Ourhead to Big Bears twenty five miles, Yeah,

294
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: it takes half an hour. But right now, if you tried,

295
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: you wouldn't make it. I mean, most of it is closed.

296
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are walking to stores.

297
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Some of the stores are closed, like in Crest Line.

298
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: From what I've been meeting on our local social media

299
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: pages that the roof is giving in from the way

300
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: to the snow. So I heard they closed the store,

301
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: and that serves a really large community there. Our other

302
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: stores are open, but some of the employees can't get

303
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: to the stores, but we do have. I mean, if

304
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: you look at our local social media pages, people walking

305
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: for miles to get food. So it's it's a problem.

306
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much, Thanks welcome, Thank you,

307
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: love you guys. All right, we're at one eight hundred

308
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,640

325
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: mountain community and you want to talk about your ordeal

326
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: with the heavy snows, and I say snows because another

327
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: round came through last night having difficulty clearing the road

328
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: so people can get access to supplies. That's one eight

329
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: hundred five to zero one five three four One thing

330
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: I want to say before we take the calls, because

331
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: we had Blake playing clips of interviewing some political hack

332
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: up there. They had a news conference this morning. You

333
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: can't just stand there and say, well, the government's really

334
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: clunky here. You know, we've put in the call to

335
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: ask for resources and they're very accessible and they're listening.

336
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: It's what what is with all this double speak and gobbledegook.

337
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: People have to get in snow plows and drive there

338
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: and start clearing up the streets that fast trade. When

339
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: the guy was asked about getting the national garden, I

340
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that gobbledygook. That was just a bureaucrat. Well,

341
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, we have to make sure everything is in

342
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: order and arranged and lined up, and we have to

343
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: what are you Honestly, that's what emergencies are about. Things

344
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: have to go now, people need help. Now, I'll make

345
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: it all your ducks. And what else is going on

346
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: around the state That would be a bigger emergency than

347
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: this happening nothing in these mountain communities. I know it's

348
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: snowed in other places. But as you said, they apparently

349
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: they clear those quicker. This is a weird freak, all right,

350
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: that nobody has seen before. But there's all kinds of

351
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: emergency agencies. There's god knows, there's all kinds of money

352
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: that they have. They have hundreds of billions of dollars

353
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: that they spend every year. They got all kinds of bureaucrats.

354
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Where is the National Guard? Why isn't this already done?

355
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: Why does anybody have to ask? Why does anybody have

356
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: to complain? Why isn't it automatic? What is the governor doing?

357
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not one of these guys that says, well,

358
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: you know, the president has to visit the border, and

359
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha judge has to visit the let's try and

360
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: do some sh show up with the shovel. You're right, yeah,

361
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: but if unless you want them to work. But they've

362
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: they've got to do something. This is what a governor does.

363
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: You you call up the agencies and say and demand

364
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: or you get fired that. You know, let's get a

365
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: hundred snowplows into a big baron Lake ourhead now or

366
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: a thousand whatever, it takes federal help. But what what

367
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: does everybody do all day? God? I wanted to blow

368
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: my top listening to that that drone the woman who

369
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: is the one of the supervisors. Right, where did they

370
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: come from? And this is why, you know, some listeners complain,

371
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: why are you always ragging on government? Yeah, here you go.

372
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm always it's going to rack on government because government

373
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: stinks and it's filled with a lot of lazy just

374
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: lazy asses, just just just lumps. All right, let's get

375
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: to Barbara and cresh line. Barbara, how are you hey?

376
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: I love what you just said because it could not

377
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: be more true. We have seen nothing nothing up here.

378
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: Uh my street has been done one time and hello, yeah,

379
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm listening, and it probably snowed over after it was done. Wait. Wait,

380
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: one time they came in and did the street. That

381
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: was four days ago. Days ago. We have had not

382
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: complaining because you know, we do live in the mountains,

383
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: so we do know we have to expect snow. However,

384
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: seen like this and literally the snow my patio is

385
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: five feet high and covered twice that I've had to

386
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: get out there. And yeah, Barbie, keep cutting out, but

387
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: we got we got the idea. Thanks very much for

388
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: calling blocking the signals. Let's let's go to Bernard. You're

389
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: on the John and Ken Show. Bernard. Hey, good afternoon, gents.

390
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm up in Big Bear. What's going on? We've got

391
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: we got about five foot drift in front of my door.

392
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: You couldn't be more correct about don Row. The fact is,

393
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: though we've got more airbnbs where our people have moved out,

394
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: so we don't have neighbors helping neighbors as well as

395
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: we used to, and we're not that hearty community where

396
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: that we used to have. We don't see snow plows.

397
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: We just had at increase and our utilities up here

398
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: that went to the city. They have licensed more airbnbs

399
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: than we have generally voters. Now the city wants to

400
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and take that money, but they don't want

401
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: to provide us service. They don't want to get up there.

402
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: We've already had a fatality on this mountain because of

403
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: arrogant driving that that that affected someone helping our neighbor

404
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: with what two locals we have left? Are you were

405
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: of anybody in trouble right now that needs I've got

406
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: we know two people right now that we're going to

407
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: help out in a matter of probably not an hour.

408
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: But we've got to dig out of our own place

409
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: to get there. And then by the time the city

410
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: takes the berms of the snow and leaves them in

411
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: front of our driveway, that boxes us into so the

412
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: road may be open, we can't get out right. It

413
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: leaves a big pile blocking your driveway right, and then

414
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: we're digging it out, and now there's no place to

415
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: butt the snow. It's we're completely piled up ten foot

416
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: berms everywhere. Wow, our city has the resources. We used

417
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: to have, the people with snowblowers all our neighbors. It

418
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: was a community that was neighbors helping neighbors. Now we

419
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: have so few neighbors because of the airbnbs and the

420
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: onslaught of foreign investment coming on this mountain that we

421
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: don't have services. Foreign investment. We want to talk about it,

422
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: we don't have right now. We don't have snowplows. We

423
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: don't have the manpower to get it. Our city manager

424
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: makes more than the governor up here, and he's useless,

425
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: absolutely useless. All right, and listen, thanks very much for

426
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: the call we got Beth. You're on the Johnny Ken Show.

427
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead? What's going on? Right? Where are you? Okay?

428
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I live in between Crest Line and Twin Peaks called

429
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Highlands, and we have no plows. I mean, I'm

430
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: right near Lake Gregory Drive and Highway eighteen and it's

431
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: about three hundred feet for me to get to Late

432
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: Gregory Drive, but there's nine feet of snow on the ground.

433
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm sixty five, my husband's seventy four, and we can't

434
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: several that kind of snow. And to top it off,

435
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: we're on an unpaved road and normally one hundred percent

436
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: of the time the county doesn't plow our road. So

437
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: I want to know if they're going to do that

438
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: this time? Are they going to lead the people with

439
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: unpaved roads hanging? How much do you have enough food?

440
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: You have power? Well, no, we don't have power. And

441
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: it went out for us. It went out this morning

442
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: at five o'clock and We've already been closed in for

443
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: five days, and if we have to wait seven to

444
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: ten more days west, we will run out of medicine

445
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: and we will run out of food. Are you getting what? No?

446
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Sorry? Okay. Shannon mentioned on her show that

447
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: she said that people live up here, they should be

448
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: used to it, and there's hard anybody up here. I

449
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: just wanted to correct that to say that we are

450
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: used to snow, but not eight nine foot drifts, okay.

451
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: And there when they had the fires twenty years ago,

452
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: the media put out there was nine thousand cars a

453
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: day that would go up and down Highway eighteen for

454
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: the forty thousand residents in Cress Royden. So there's a

455
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: lot more than a couple hundred stuck up here, all right, Bett,

456
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the call. All right, all right, Well,

457
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: there's some reports from people up in the mountain communities

458
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: affected by the heavy snows that have pummeled the region,

459
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: and some of them, like we said, some reports that

460
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: CHP said it could be a week before they have

461
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: things really open up there, even though I think we're

462
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: seeing the last of the precipitation for a while. I'm

463
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: looking at this, I mean, you talk about survival. Do

464
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: you see this story about Marley No, Debra Mark Marley No,

465
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: sounds like a dog. It is a dog. A couple

466
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, the family was out driving and the

467
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: car slipped on some black ice and crashed, and the

468
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: dog jumped out the back window and was gone for

469
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: seventeen days, but has been returned. Yeah, they actually had

470
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: to go catch it. They finally saw it. It looks

471
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: like it was eating food. People were leaving food on

472
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: their back porches and the dog was munched on the

473
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: food for a bit. Poor baby. Oh that's a good news.

474
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: Sort of a boxer mixed dog seventeen days. It's impressive.

475
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: All right, we got more comping up. Johnny Ken caff

476
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: I AM six forty Live Everywhere the iHeart Radio asked

477
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory from Cafe News will be long after two

478
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: o'clock to talk about that story that the Los Angeles

479
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: pleased apart in Union is actually proposing a list of

480
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: nine one one calls that come in that they shouldn't

481
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: respond to. But all this talk, of course now for

482
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: years about to fund the police, and the police go

483
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: and they're armed and they start killing people, which is

484
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: of course incredibly exaggerated, but they decided, all right, we'll

485
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: come up with the list of certain types of calls

486
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: that we don't think there should be an armed police

487
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: response to, and Steve will bring us the latest on

488
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: that coming up after the news at two o'clock. And

489
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: as John mentioned, Tim Donnalley, who was in the State Assembly,

490
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: and of course all he read for governor man for governor. Yeah,

491
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the show after three because

492
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: he lives up in the mountain communities affected by this

493
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: heavy snowfall which has got people locked into their homes.

494
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: Now it's time for your Garcetti update. And it seems

495
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: like an hour after we talked about this yesterday, the

496
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: Elsa Gondo Times read an update some reporter I've never

497
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: seen before, Nolan McCaskill. But the headline writer said Eric

498
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: Garcetti's stalled nomination to ambassador's post sees slight progress. And

499
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: I noticed the heads word in their slight. So I'm

500
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: wondering what exactly is this progress. Well, a Republican Senator,

501
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: Susan Collins of Maine had a meeting with Mayor Garcetian quote.

502
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: I was impressed with this knowledge of India. Fool's too

503
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: long considered one of these fence sitting Republicans. She's battie

504
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: like Feinstein, Feinstein, Feinstein. Uh, she's considered, I guess by

505
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: the writer to be a swing vote. So because she

506
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: said something positive, I guess that's the slight Uh. Yeah,

507
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: that's the most progress talking about that because he had

508
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: no Republicans and maybe he's got one here. I don't

509
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: know that. What was her quote that she thought the

510
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: standard of should have known was a little too harsh,

511
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: a little too high, because the big is what the

512
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: investigation has shown that Chuck Grashley of the Iowa Republican

513
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: Senator found was that Garcetti knew or should have known

514
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: about Rick Jacobs and all the sexual antics that were

515
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: going on. Well, he found to quote extremely unlikely. Garcetti

516
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: didn't know. Right, that's a little different than a headgs

517
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: word there. Yeah, but she sees on the phrase should

518
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: have no, Oh, you're right. I don't think that should

519
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: have known as a fair standard deus So I haven't

520
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: made a final decision, but I was impressed. What we

521
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: didn't know. The reports that Garcetti might go to Ukraine,

522
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: which was bizarre, but he's been in Washington, d C.

523
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 1: He's walking the hallways. He's trying to meet with anybody

524
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: that will meet with him from the Senate. He's to

525
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: make his case. Oh, he's begging. He's begging because sad.

526
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: He's been out of office now for months. He's got

527
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: nothing to do. He has he looks depressed. He has

528
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: no job right now, he has no prospects for a job,

529
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: and he needs this in order to take another step

530
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: down the line in government. He's never going to serve

531
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: locally again. He's never going to serve in the state again.

532
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: So where's he gonna go. He's got to become a bureaucrat.

533
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: He's got to get in some agency now. The insiders

534
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: at Politico did a story too that ran this morning.

535
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: Mary Anne Levine and Christopher catalago I have done a

536
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: story headlined almost out of La La Land Garcetti Nam

537
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: hits a make or break moment. This one is not

538
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: as positive, I would say, as the El Segundo Time

539
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: story because they're rooting for him. Well yeah, I know

540
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: at El segunder Times is rooting. So they grabbed at

541
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: the thinnest thread possible. One senator who had a discussion

542
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: with him, and he seemed to know a lot about India,

543
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: but she hasn't really made up her mind yet and

544
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: maybe the standard is a little too high. Should have known.

545
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: They say that he'll probably get through another vote in

546
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: the Foreign Relations Committee, but the fate on the full

547
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: floor of the Senate is unknown, and apparently the majority leader,

548
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, was kind of like shrugging his shoulders. I

549
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see. It's kind of a wheel seat thing. Now.

550
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: Usually a guy like that if he cares, so he

551
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: probably doesn't care. It's probably sick he hearing about it

552
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: is out there wrangling for the votes and finding out

553
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: what's really going on. It's a year and nine months.

554
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: How many times you want to be asked about Garcetti

555
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: going to India? Really? Why? Why would anybody care? Well,

556
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: there's one fool, and I've been reading his name now

557
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: for a year. Christopher Murphy of Connecticut. I don't know

558
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: why he cares, Senator. I think we have the vote.

559
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: I think he has the votes. I think the senators

560
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: that use all of their rights to delay the nomination.

561
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: But my senses he's going to get confirmed. He's the

562
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: only one i've seen. He's the only one I've seen

563
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: that seems to be a cheerleader for Garcetti. Did they

564
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: hire him? Did his campaign out there such a cheerleader

565
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: for for Garsetti? As bizarre? Um, what we found out

566
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: again this week was that his nomination was put on

567
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: whole by Marco Rubio. That means it's for now on hold,

568
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: but he could come right back next time they meet

569
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: the committee, So that could be next week maybe I

570
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: don't know when. But going back to Susan Collins, I

571
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: also noticed in her quotes she said, I still want

572
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: to review Senator Grassley's report. I mean she hasn't read it.

573
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: That is a damning report. You can't read it's a

574
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: fellow Republican. I mean sometimes they write off the other

575
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: party's reports. Yeah, but you can't read, uh, Senator to

576
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: Grassley's report and not go, oh god, that's that's disgusting.

577
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, she's she's half of

578
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: the bag. He's been there too long. They've all been

579
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: there too long. Politico says he has spent considerable sums

580
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: of money on lobbyists to rally support for his cause.

581
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: He just has he really has no shame like he

582
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: cannot be embarrassed. I realized that over the years as

583
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: we were recovering all his nonsense. He cannot be embarrassed.

584
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: He's he's missing something in his head. He is very clueless.

585
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: But I think, and as I said before, it often

586
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: can lead to meltdowns, and we've heard about some private ones. Well,

587
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: like remember when he wasn't wearing a mask at the

588
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: football game, but he said he was holding his breath

589
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: right now. Nobody in the right mind would give an

590
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: answer like that, nobuddy, but he just did it. And

591
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: then he looks as if, yeah, that's a real answer.

592
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm not insane. And again, the reason this is a

593
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: difficult situation for Democrats in the Senate is because this

594
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: is kind of their me to issue. It's been more

595
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: important to them all this idea of sexually harassing people

596
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: in higher positions sexually harassing the people below them in

597
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: offices and in workplaces, and that's the accusation here. So

598
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: it's like they've had a tough time dealing with this

599
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: because this particular issue hits home. It's interesting that some

600
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Republicans are worked up about this, even though that's not

601
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: usually a top priority issue party. Here's the kind of

602
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: trouble he has. There's a Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat in Arizona.

603
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: He just got reelected. He said he's red grasslings report

604
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: and remains concerned about Garcetti and hasn't even spoken to

605
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: the White House about it. And he has rejected Democratic

606
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: powerbroker's attempts to influence his decision. So if somebody calls

607
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: them to say, hey, we want you to get on

608
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: board with Garcetti, he hangs up. Kelly is not expected

609
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: to support the nomination. A lot of some other Democrats

610
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: declined to say whether they where they stood. Everyone says

611
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: they're researching the matter. As a Senator from Maryland, Ben Carden,

612
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: for example, two Democrats told Politico Mazie harrona Hawaii and

613
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: Tammy Duckworth of Illinois that they will support Garsetti. I

614
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: mean again, it's a tight fit in the Senate. It's

615
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: fifty forty nine Democrat at John Fetterman's on the sidelines,

616
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: so it's fifty forty nine. So they need all the Democrats,

617
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: they need all of them. So that's why it's critical

618
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: that whoever they speak to is so if Mark Kelly

619
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: is an absolute no right there, it's blown unless Susan

620
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: Collins flips the other way and that there's nobody else,

621
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: And I think there are others, but they just don't

622
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: want to get involved. They don't want to talk about

623
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: it all right. When we come back, Steve Gregory will

624
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: join us from KFI News with an inside look at

625
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: this story that the LAPD union is looking. They have

626
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: their own list of ninety one one calls that they

627
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: don't believe their officers need to respond to anymore. They

628
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: could be transferred to other agencies. We'll talk about that.
