He's second 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: in the race for mayor. Karen Bass has abysmal approval 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: ratings and she only has nineteen percent of the public 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: willing to vote for her, so she can be taken 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: out as mayor and Spencer Pratt can do it. We 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: had him on for an hour. I think he was great. 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: This is the this is the best way to go. 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: Here really the only way to go. So you listened 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: to him on the podcast.

Now we switch over to 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: this on It's unbelievable. We told you about David Allen 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: Funston getting elderly parole after all the little girls that 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: he raped and beat up and kidnapped. Well, we got 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: another one here. We got Gregory Vogel saying, fifty seven 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: years old, he was sentenced to three hundred and fifty 21 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: five years to life for sexually assaulting five young children, 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: and the parole board is letting him out in a week. 23 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: On March eighteenth, elderly parole again, he's only fifty seven. 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: Let's get Amory Schubert on, former Sacramento district attorney, and 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: she broke this news online yesterday. It's the first I 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: saw it. Anne, Marie, how are you. 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: I'm good. Thanks so much for having me again. I 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: John tell Us about Gregory Vogel, saying. 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: He was convicted out of Sacramento County. I think around 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight. He had multiple victims. As you mentioned, 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: there are almost exclusively young boys. I think as young 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: as five years old. You know, he's a pedophile, that's 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: the bottom line. He sexually attracted to children. So he 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: goes to prison. You know, he was. He was sentenced 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: by a judge in Sacramento County to three hundred and 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: fifty five years to life. So any rash human being 38 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: would believe that man is never going to get out 39 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: because he shouldn't. And so you know, here comes the 40 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: elderly parole law. I call it the Golden ticket to 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: getting out of prison, and all of a sudden, you know, 42 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: he's decided he wants to get out, so he goes 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: in front of a parole board. He was denied a 44 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: couple times, and then just last November he comes up 45 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: again and two commissioners thought that it would be a 46 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: good decision to let a fifty six year old man 47 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: out of prison that is a diagnosed pedophile and sexually 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: attracted to children. So it's it's an insane decision. Hopefully 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: next week the full board decides to reverse it. But 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 2: that's why we're trying to get a call to action here, 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: for folks to call in, write in, send emails, and 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: you know, maybe the governor would step up and say, 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: you know, maybe it's just time for these people to resign. 54 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe they should repeal the law that allows 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: this to happen to begin with. I would have thought 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: there are some limits on this elderly parole fifty seven, 57 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: he got three hundred and fifty five years to life. 58 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: It's twenty three counts of forcible loot acts on young boys. 59 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: One of them is youngest three years old. But what 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no standards anymore for this parole. 61 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: Well, the standards, in my opinion, when you read the transcripts, 62 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: the standards are, let's do everything in our power to 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: find a reason to let the guy out. I mean, 64 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: one of the things that's concerning about him, you know, 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 2: he gets denied parole. I think in twenty twenty two, 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, he sat in prison for twenty three 67 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: years before he decided to actually say, well, maybe I 68 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: should start understanding why I commit these crimes. So it 69 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: starts a workbook program. It's called The Road to Freedom. 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: He's never had clinical treatment, as far as I could 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: tell from reading the transcripts. He's done a workbook, a 72 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: self help program. 73 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: What do you mean a workbook? Stop? Stop? What do 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: you mean a workbook? 75 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: It's called the Road to Freedom. If you start reading 76 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: these transcripts on sex offenders, they read the Road to Freedom. 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: It's a book. It's about how do I control my 78 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: urges and things like that. But there's no far as 79 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: I can tell, he's never availed himself of any kind 80 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: of clinical psychiatric treatment while he's been in prison. He 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: is a diagnosed pedophile, and so the question becomes, what 82 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 2: are we doing here? 83 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: You can't control that you can't change that. If you're 84 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: a pedophile, you are attracted to little children the rest 85 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: of your life. It never goes away. 86 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 2: Well, look at mister Funston. His plan was, I have 87 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: an urge control plan, so when I think about children, 88 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: I'm just going to stop thinking about it. But let's 89 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: be honest. Come on, these are the most dangerous people. 90 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 2: They should be excluded from the law and they should 91 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: not be getting out of prison. 92 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: Why do they want to release these people? Why you 93 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: would think that anybody in office, regardless of what party 94 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: or what ideology they subscribe to, just as basic human being. 95 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 1: Most of these people have children. You see what what 96 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Gregor Vogel saying or David Allen Funston did, and it 97 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: would it would stop you dead, It would make you sick, 98 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't let your fingerprints on releasing him. 99 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: You'd have to ask the pro board. But you know, 100 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: for me, it's just what are we doing here? 101 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: Again? 102 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: Like you say, John, what are we doing? We have 103 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: They're not one offs, as I would say, they are 104 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: multiple acts against multiple children. These are serial predators that 105 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: when they get out will most likely reoffend. 106 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: The Funston case was almost comical because he said, I'm 107 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: sure you read this that he'll just tell himself no 108 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: and splash water in his face to distract him. And 109 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: the commissioners thought that was a great idea. I thought 110 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: I was reading a parody. 111 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: I think that they look for reasons. If you really 112 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: dive into these transcripts, you know, they look for reasons 113 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: to say, oh, yes, that's a good reason. You've got 114 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 2: yourself under control. Now let's let you out. It's real 115 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: quite disturbing, particularly because, as I said, judges, you know, 116 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: juries have made decisions. California's voted it, and we passed 117 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: laws to make what we call one strike for sex offenders, 118 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: meaning we should be harsh, which we should be. And 119 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: that's all poof gone because Governor Newsom thought it was 120 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: a good idea to reduce the age to fifty and 121 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: only serve twenty. There is no truth in sentencing in 122 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: the state of California at all anymore. There just isn't. 123 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: If people want to write to somebody and try to 124 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: convince Newsom or the parole full Parole Board to reverse 125 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: this decision, who do they contact? 126 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 2: They can email BPH dot Correspondent Unit at CDCR dot 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: CA dot gov. That is the place. They can go 128 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: on that site, they can email, they can call in. 129 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: Next week on March eighteenth, there is a hearing for 130 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: all of these people these This is not the only 131 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: one that's on next week. There's another guy that is 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: a convicted child molester that they want to let out again. 133 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: Another well, another one. 134 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a guy named Tyrell Martin at of San 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: Borgardino who molested a child that was I think very 136 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: very young, went to prison, got out, failed a register, 137 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: cut off his ankle monitor, they sent him back to prison, 138 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: and now they want to grant that guy parole as well. 139 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: So to me, you know, you have to be very 140 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a lot of work to be 141 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: you know, you got to be vigilant. But you know, 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: people who are just living their lives, John, I know. 143 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: But they didn't know that that it was the justice 144 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: system was designed this way. Nobody knows this. If you 145 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: went to like one hundred people on the street and 146 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: told them what's going on, all one hundred would be 147 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: crazy angry because how would they know. 148 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: Well, it's that's why we're raising the alarms, because this 149 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: is what will change the law.

Then he told 211 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: the pro board, well, I have an urge control plan 212 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: and I'm not making this up. You could read the transcript. 213 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: He'll tell himself no, and he'll splash water in his face. 214 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: And the pro board said, yeah, it's good. They really did, say. 215 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: Gregory Vogel sang, David Allen Funston, and here's the third 216 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: guy we mentioned earlier this week.

This 228 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: is the sickest thing I ever heard, And the legislature 229 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: gave the pro board the power to do this. Gavin newsom. 230 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: He appointed all the members of the pro board.

Got to vote differently when we come back 238 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: the Altadena fire. Remember they never sent fire warnings to 239 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of the people in West Altadia in nineteen 240 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: died and then we all got fire warnings in La County, 241 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: false fire warnings.

Aaron Stone 275 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: is the reporter and a whistleblower. Well, let's go back. 276 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: While the Palisades Fire was burning, we had the Altadena fire, 277 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: also known as the Eaton Fire, and that destroyed over 278 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: six thousand homes, and that killed nineteen people, mostly in 279 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: West Altadena, which is the historic black neighborhoods in Altadena 280 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: and in that section of town. They never got a 281 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: warning about the fire until almost three thirty am. And 282 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 1: the fire started at six thirty pm the night before, 283 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: And everybody's going, why is this? How did this happen? 284 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: They let people burn to death. They didn't even warn them.

Everyone slept through it. Oh 287 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: remember all the Phony County fire warnings. We got him here, right. 288 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: Remember that day. I think I was driving home from 289 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: work and suddenly my phone is buzzing in my car 290 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: telling me to evacuate. I'm looking down. It'saying I'm at 291 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: Burbank what are you talking about. So they didn't send 292 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: out warnings to the people who burned to death, but 293 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: they sent out warnings to everybody else in the county 294 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 1: who were nowhere near the fire. And it's the office 295 00:17:53,480 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: of Emergency Management. So according to la Public Radio, we 296 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: have a whistleblower who's filed a complaint. His name. We 297 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: have his name, Nick Vicario, associate director in the county 298 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: Office of Emergency Management, and the guy in charge of 299 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: emergency workers. According to Nick Vicaro, the guy in charge 300 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: of the workers who sent out the evacuation warnings has 301 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: quote a long history of sleeping on the job, and 302 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: he named him. Va Caro said he saw Steve Lieberman, 303 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: a nearly forty year county employee, a sleep at work 304 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: more than a dozen times in the two years prior 305 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: to Lieberman supervising the overnight shift.

They fear their careers 312 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: and reputations could be seriously harmed by speaking up public. 313 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: We've got to get a that's a whole nother long 314 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: brant I want to give. The firefighters are afraid to 315 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: speak out.

John and. 339 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: I worked the overnight shift for a year and a half. 340 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 5: No, I've done a few overnight shifts, and I know 341 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 5: I'm not made for that. 342 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: I know I'm not, But you stay.

I just drank VCARO. 345 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: Get this, the County Emergency Management office had only thirty 346 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: seven people in it and a fourteen million dollar budget. 347 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: Compare that and we got ten million people, right, we 348 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: got ten million residents, thirty seven people. New York City 349 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: has fewer people than LA County eight and a half million, 350 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: but they have two hundred staffers in their emergency management department. 351 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Five times the staff LA County has. We have more 352 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: people than New York City and one fifth staff. They 353 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: have eighty eight million. They spend We have fourteen million. 354 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: What are the La County superrises? What are those five 355 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: women doing? They can't fund the emergency management office with 356 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 1: the earthquake potential. Here I'm talking to you, held a Salise. 357 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: Let me see I remember their names.

San Diego has one third our population. 362 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: They have more people in their department. They have forty three, 363 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: We have thirty seven. They have a budget almost as 364 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: much as LA twelve million. We have fourteen, one third 365 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: the population. Oh quickly, and the other thing that Karo 366 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: told last they don't have that many people. He said, 367 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: everything was lining up that showed this was going to 368 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: be the most catastrophic windstorm we'd ever had, worse than 369 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: the twenty eleven windstorm. And we were going back and 370 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: forth saying, well, who's available. They hardly had anyone available 371 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: because coming out of the holidays, a lot of people 372 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: have taken time off. So who's around it's gonna be 373 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: the worst storm and the worst fire danger ever in 374 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: the history of La County. Who's around to work in 375 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: emergency services? Anybody? He says, every party should have been available. 376 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: All right, more coming up. 377 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 378 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 3: six forty. 379 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: All right, we just told you about how the Altadena fire. 380 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: The guy in charge of the guy who oversaw the 381 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: staff that sent out the emergency alerts, he apparently compulsively 382 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 1: falls asleep on the job, according to a whistleblower. And 383 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: you may remember that most of those alerts never reached 384 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: West Altadena. In nineteen people died. Not to mention that 385 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: nearly all of us in La County got phony alerts. 386 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Now we find out one of the guys in charge 387 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: of the unit sleeps a lot on the job. Now 388 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: in Malibu, because you had fires in the palace age, 389 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: that same fire also burned a significant part of Malibu. 390 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: Hardly any permits have been issued, and Fox eleven reporter 391 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Matthew Sheedorff has the story. 392 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 6: We're along pach S nine and take a look at this. 393 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 6: This is where all those homes were. It almost looks 394 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 6: like a time capsule. Not a lot has changed since 395 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 6: last year. You can understand why some residents are angry. 396 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 4: Uh, this is the family home that I was raised 397 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 4: in and I was raising my daughter in. 398 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: So mardon, you were. 399 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 6: Here the night of the palace hits fire. 400 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: What was it like? 401 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 3: Everything was on fire and no one was doing anything? 402 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 4: Wade, you know, his face covered in shoot. I couldn't 403 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 4: stop the fire, saying I'm sorry, man, I couldn't stop 404 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 4: the fire. 405 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: It was horrible. They're family to me. There was no water. 406 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 6: Looking back at that, did you imagine that we'd still 407 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 6: be looking like this fourteen to fifteen months later? 408 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: No, this is an absolute abuse. I mean, this is 409 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: this is where we're at today. 410 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 4: It is slow, and it is frustrating, and there's no 411 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 4: excuse for this. 412 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 6: Thirty seven single family homes have had the permits approved, 413 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 6: more than six hundred burned. We're talking about five percent rong. 414 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 5: Jery, about five percent in a city that has culturally 415 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 5: been not very favorable to growth. 416 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: And we just need the city and its consultants to 417 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 4: understand the urgency. 418 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 6: We're on pace for Malibu to rebuild in twenty years. 419 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 6: How do we speed this up? 420 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 5: At the current pace, that number could well be a 421 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 5: reality in this hill. If you have to construct a property, 422 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 5: you need to undergo soil testing and jew reports and 423 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: so on and so forth. 424 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 4: They're basically saying, well, we don't trust the geology from 425 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 4: sixty five years ago. We're going as long as we're 426 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 4: going to, you know, hold you to other code for 427 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: the fire, We're gonna hold you another code. 428 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: That's unrelated to the fire. 429 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 5: I think we need to take a completely sort of 430 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 5: a zero based budgeting approach, which is, if we had 431 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 5: ten days to issue a permit, what does the process 432 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 5: need to look like. 433 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 6: You can hear the anger. They're just demanding urgency at night. 434 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: You could preach urgency. We're trying to get them to 435 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: understand the urgency. They understand. Whoever's running Malibu get this. 436 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: They don't care. Fourteen months and there's thirty seven permits 437 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: and six hundred burned out homes. Yeah, it's gonna take 438 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: you twenty years at the rate of this permit approval. 439 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: They want it this way. It's by design. All of 440 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: this is by design. People go. Why don't they understand? Now, 441 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: they understand this is what they want. They're tyrants, they 442 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: want control. I don't think people in Irano, why doesn't 443 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: the iatola understand? Why doesn't he have a sense of urgent? 444 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: No atola understand or understood perfectly. All dictators and rulers. 445 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: They understand perfectly what they're doing. They know you're upset, 446 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: they know what's unfair, they know you're pissed off. They 447 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: don't care. The only difference here different than Russia or 448 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: Cuba or Iran, is we can vote all these pastards 449 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: out and get new people in, force them to change 450 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: existing laws and regulations. But we don't do that. We 451 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: let them be tyrants. Seeing they're the countries. Short of 452 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: an armed coup, you can't get rid of the dictators 453 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: or the iatolus. But here we can peacefully just go vote. 454 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: Vote for somebody different, so for somebody who cares. But 455 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: we don't. Everybody votes for the same garbage over and 456 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: over and over again. And then yeah, they let your 457 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: house burn, and then they won't let you build it. 458 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: And I bet you all these people get reelected. 459 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 4: All right. 460 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: When we come back along these same lines, doctor oz 461 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: we played his clip again yesterday, came to Van Eyes 462 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: and said, Hey, there's millions and millions of dollars of 463 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: hospice fraud going on here, and our narcissistic psychopath, Jack asked. 464 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: Governor Newsom started taunting Oz saying, oh, this is racism. 465 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: You're insulting Armenians. And then CBS did a huge investigation 466 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: this week finding hundreds of phony hospice providers here in LA. 467 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: And now Christian Hertsock, an investigative reporter, is colleaborated with 468 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: California State assembly Woman Alexandra Messito to find hundreds of 469 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: phony hospices wasting millions, maybe billions of dollars.
