1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day from

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: three until six, and then after six o'clock the podcast

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: John Cobelt's Show on demand. And in the first hour

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: we played clips of Scott Pike, the Los Angeles Fire

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: Department firefighter who testified in a deposition about he seemed

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: to be the only one in the fire department that

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: day who noticed the hot spots, the hot coals, the smoking,

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: the smoldering. I mean, he wouldn't even touch the hot

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: rocks with his gloved hand, and he's telling people and

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: nobody everybody wanted to go home, nobody wanted to put

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: out the fire. It was still bad. We're going to

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: play you some more clips later on in the hour.

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: Now it's a USA professor Michael Masche. He's been a

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: guest on our show a few times because he correctly

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: had predicted for a while that refineries in California we're

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: going to close. Two of them did close in the

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: last six months, and that was going to drive up

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: the price of gas, and that did happen. It went

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: up at least forty cents since the beginning of the

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 2: year because of these closed refineries, and now we've got

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: the Iran war that began over the weekend, and oil prices,

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: which averaged sixty five dollars a barrel in this country

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: bumped up about ten percent. It moves up and down

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: quite a bit, but that's the general range. It's in

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: the low seventies. Let's get Michael MChE on. Michael, how

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: are you terrific?

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: John? How are you today?

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: I am good. So what's this this war? What's it

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: done to the price of gasoline? And what's likely to come?

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: Well, what we're afraid of in California at least is

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: a convergence of factors. We've talked about this before, John.

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: Our refineries are we're losing refinery capacity here to make gasoline.

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: Our in state capacity for oil production has dropped throughout

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: the years, and now we're the most heavily dependent of

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: all states on foreign oil and now foreign gasoline. So

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 3: what's happening in Iran in the Middle East now is

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: the instability has driven up gasoline prices, and they've driven

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: up maritime vessel chartering rates and the price of crude oil.

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: So just to get the oil here to California, we'll

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: be more expensive and it'll flow through to the retail

43
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: gas punk prices.

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: Do we get any oil that actually originates in Iran

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: or any of the neighboring states neighboring countries.

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: There, We get oil from Iraq. So traditionally, through the

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: last say, last decade, both Saudi Arabia and Iraq have

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: been number one sources for California oil. Most recently it's

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: been Iraq, followed by Brazil and Ecuador for oil. Plus

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: we've gotten some oil from the uae and Saudi So

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: of course, with the straits of our moves issues and

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: with the Iranians hitting oil assets throughout the Gulf Coast region,

53
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: you know that's going to create supply issues, particularly for

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: Europe and for California because all of our you know,

55
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: the majority of our oil is coming from those areas.

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: That's what's crazy about Newsom banning oil production throughout much

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: of the state and also with his regulations and taxes

58
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: causing refineries to go out of business. Now we're reliant

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: on what goes on in the Middle East with all

60
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: the constant insanity there, I mean, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: uae I, mean, all these places have to deal with

62
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: constant wars and skirmishes going on, and the waterways around

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: there are always in danger of being shut down, and

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: the ships are in danger of being bombed. I mean,

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: it's crazy that we're depending on that area of the

66
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: world to supply a big percentage of our oil.

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, John, I mean, but that's been California's policy,

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: particularly under Governor Newsom. In particular, he was warned about

69
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: this though you know, you know I told it to him.

70
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: I published that, so did. California Energy Commission published a

71
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: letter June twenty seven saying, look, we can import this material,

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: we can import oil, we can continue to import gasoline,

73
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: and it will help stabilize the prices in California. But

74
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: any event, anything, a geopolitical event in particular, will drive

75
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: up the price of crude oil, and we'll have a

76
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 3: corresponding increase in the price of gasoline prices in our states.

77
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: So right now we're looking at prices between the summer blend,

78
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: which is coming up pretty quick here, that adds anywhere

79
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: from fifteen to twenty cents a gallon. We could expect that,

80
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: but with the Iranian situation, we could be looking at

81
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: gas prices going up at least fifty two to fifty

82
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: you know, fifty two cents a gallon, anywhere from thirty

83
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: eight on the low end, fifty two maybe in the middle,

84
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: and over sixty cents a gallon. Now, if if indeed

85
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: the price of crew goes, say to one hundred dollars

86
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: a barrel, then then you're looking at significant price increases

87
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: into the approaching the eight dollar number that I had

88
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 3: lit I had in May, in.

89
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: Addition to the refineries closing, in addition to Newsome not

90
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: allowing oil production in much of the state. This is

91
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: because you you were you were talking about having a

92
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: several dollars gas price increase possible, just based on all

93
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: the problems with his California policies. And now you add

94
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: the suburb blend, and now you add all the all

95
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: the craziness in the Middle East on top of it.

96
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: Yes, because demands not coming down in California, all right,

97
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: So demand's coming down a very moderate amount. I mean,

98
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: twenty four to twenty five gasoline sales were only down

99
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 3: less than two percent. And it's been like that for

100
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: the last twenty years, with the exception of COVID so

101
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: the amount of gas that we consume in the state

102
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: is around thirty five million to thirty eight million gallons

103
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: of gasoline a day. That's not coming down with any

104
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: significant thunder like supply is coming down. Supply it alone

105
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: just in the refineries between renewables, refineries that converted to

106
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: renewable fuel and that's not making gasoline, and the refineries

107
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 3: that we lost, which was filled sixty six in Valero.

108
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: We've lost twenty two percent of in state refinery capacity.

109
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: Now that's that's close to nine million gallons of gasoline

110
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: a day that was produced in California that's no longer

111
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: being produced here. So you have to stabilize the markets

112
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: and avoid eight dollars and forty three cent gas prices.

113
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: You have to import it, but you're importing it that

114
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: ads fifteen to seventeen cents a gallon. You're bringing it

115
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 3: in now from refineries in India, which is they're dependent

116
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: on a lot of Saudi oil in India. You're bringing

117
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: it in from South Korea that's Saudi and Iraqi oil.

118
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: And so now with this instability in the Middle East,

119
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: you're going to have increases in crew prices, which will

120
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: then increase California because we are the most dependent of

121
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: all states in the United States on imported gasoline oil.

122
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: Did you see the tweet his press office put out.

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if people saw this. He was he

124
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: was over the weekend. He was bragging that, Hey, you know,

125
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: over the last two years, California stayed under five dollars

126
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: a gallon. They were setting the stage to blame Trump

127
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: when we passed the five dollars mark, even though most

128
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: of the country is below three dollars. He was trying

129
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: to sell people online. It's like, hey, you know, we've

130
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: been below five. I thing goes over five. It's because

131
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: of what Trump's doing. It's like, no, we're two bucks

132
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: more than everywhere else in the country.

133
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: That's precisely right. And I can tell you that, you know,

134
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: gaven nuisance policies had nothing to do with bringing the

135
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: price of gasoline down in the state of California. The

136
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: prices came down in California for simply one reason, one

137
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: reason only. It was drill, baby, drill. And what I

138
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: mean by that is today the United States is energy independent.

139
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: We are producing our country about fourteen million barrels of

140
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: oil a day. That is an all time historical high

141
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: plus full Peck increased their production, So we have an

142
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: abundant had an abundant supply of oil on the market,

143
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: which obviously contributed to the decrease in gasoline prices because

144
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: the price of oil came down. Also in California, we

145
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: had you know, two major refineries operating until this year.

146
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: Now those refineries are down and the only thing California

147
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: can do to keep the price as low is prey

148
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: number one, that the price recruit stays low and prey

149
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: number two that it can gasoline in quantity to satisfy demand.

150
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: The second you have a disruption in that supply chain,

151
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: you're going to have issues with gasoline. And if and

152
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: if the state imposes this inventory of refined gasoline products

153
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: that they that they passed I think was AB two

154
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: dash one, then that's going to increase the price of

155
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: gasoline by at least seven to ten cents a gallon

156
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: because it's just sitting there in inventory. Somebody has to

157
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: pay for it.

158
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Michael, thanks for coming on again.

159
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: It's always my pleasure. John. I'll talk to you soon.

160
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: USC Professor Michael Miche When we come back, we're going

161
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: to start. We've got more clips to play about the

162
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: fire depositions the Palisades, the lawsuit from the Palisades Homeowners.

163
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: The attorneys have released some of the video and audio

164
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: the depositions. We'll talk about that next.

165
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

166
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,479
Speaker 4: six forty.

167
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: Co Belt Show. We're on every day from three to

168
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: six after six o'clock, the podcast John Cobelt Show on Demand,

169
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: and you listened to our first hour today and we

170
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 2: played many clips from Scott Pike, the La FD firefighter

171
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: who testified in the deposition. The Palisades Homeowners' attorneys released

172
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: those videos and audios and we played some of them,

173
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: and you know, I want to I want to start

174
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: by playing Eric on one Scott Pike clip that we

175
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: had played earlier, and this is where Pike. It's cut

176
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 2: number four. Pike had previously said that a captain had

177
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: told him to pick up the hoses, roll them up.

178
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: Pike told them, Hey, there's a lot of hot spots here,

179
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: so why didn't he press the captain further? Cut four?

180
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Did you ask.

181
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 5: The captain why he hadn't directed at other firefighters to

182
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: mop up the area better?

183
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: As you put it, No, because you don't question the captain.

184
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 5: I just went back to work picking up hose awaiting

185
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: new orders.

186
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: Did you ever get new orders? Sir?

187
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: And you can stop there, You can stop there. This

188
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: is the problem. E didn't question the captain. I know elsewhere,

189
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: he said. You know, he earned his rank, you know,

190
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: to make that decision. Trying to figure out who the

191
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: captain is, well, Pike said he talked to captain and

192
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: he wasn't sure who the captain was, but he said

193
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: he thinks it was from fire Station sixty nine. Well,

194
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: the captain who was on duty at fire Station sixty

195
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: nine that day was Michael McIndoe. This is from a

196
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: separate story in the La Times and early in macindoe shift.

197
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: His crew, according to the Times, got their marching orders

198
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 2: pick up the hoses left overnight at the scene of

199
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: the Lochman fire. Macindoe says he didn't think the plan

200
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: was a good idea. He had read the weather forecast

201
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: for the day and knew that any lingering hotspots would

202
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: be easier with the hoses in place, and he relayed

203
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: his concerns to a battalion chief named Mario Garcia, who

204
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: was in charge of the whole operation. And Garcia said

205
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: something along the lines of, according to Macindoe, okay, let

206
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: me go check it out and then I'll get back

207
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: to you. But Garcia's orders never changed. So Macindoe spent

208
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: a couple of hours that morning rolling up the hose lines.

209
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: And Macindoe, like Pike, came across a smoldering ash pit

210
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: and he sprayed some water with a couple of gallons

211
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: from his backpack and dug up the dirt. So Pike

212
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: and Macindoe both said that they saw the hot spots,

213
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: the smoldering ash, hot rocks. Pike said he informed a

214
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: Captain Garcia. The battalion chief said no one informed him

215
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: of any concerns. Nobody's taking responsibility here. The day, Mcendoe

216
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: testified he talked to the battalion chief Garcia, on the

217
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: hill and he says, I went up to him and

218
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: I said, hey, I hope you don't think I'm trying

219
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: to get out of work, because he had suggested rolling

220
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: up the hoses, and he goes, no, that's fine. And

221
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: Macado said he was trying to clarify that he believed

222
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: that the hose should stay up a bit longer. Don't

223
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: roll him up, But Garcia claims nobody raised any concerns

224
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: about the hose pickup. Somebody's not telling the truth here.

225
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: Then we had a battalion chief named Michael Mullen who

226
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: was on duty before Garcia, and we're gonna play you

227
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: his clip here because he testified he walked the perimeter

228
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: four times and he left the hose lines in place overnight. Uh,

229
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: let's put what did I say? All right, it's Martin Mollen.

230
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Martin Mollen, play this clip. He said, Hi, stop stop,

231
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: that's that's that's my fault. That's the wrong clip. We'll

232
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: play you that when we come back. Yeah, Martin Mallin

233
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: said he kept two assistant chiefs, Vinnie Alvarado and Joseph

234
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: Everett in the loop. They in turn informed another chief

235
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: named Philip Flagel. And it looks like none of these guys, well,

236
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: none of these none of these guys wanted to stay there,

237
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: and none of these guys want to talk. Now, when

238
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: we come back, we'll talk about the California State Parks

239
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: and Rep representative named John Oda. And John Oda was

240
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: the one who said, hey, this is state park property,

241
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: will take over here. And Oda was supposed to watch

242
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: the hotspots site and he didn't, so we'll pay play

243
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: you some of John Oda's testimony. We're on every day

244
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: from three to six and then after six o'clock John

245
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: Cobelt Show on demand. That's the podcast, and they released depositions,

246
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: video and audio. The Palisades homeowners have followed a lawsuit

247
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: against the city and the state over the Palisades fire,

248
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: and first hour we played a lot of clips from

249
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Scott Pike and you should listen to that on the podcast,

250
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: and we're playing some more clips here because there's two

251
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: parts of this. The Lachman fire was not entirely put out.

252
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: There were hotspots, smoke, smoke and smoldering, and it was obvious.

253
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 2: And they're they're they're having these firefighters testify and the

254
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: fire captains and everybody's going, well, I don't know. Nobody

255
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: told me. I mean, I told him, the other guy

256
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: doesn't remember, and it's like, you know it, All these

257
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: guys should be a lot sharper than this. If if

258
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: you have smoking and smoldering and hot spots hot to

259
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: the touch, you can't even hold the rock you got,

260
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: you got ash that's smoldering. Everybody in the fire in

261
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,239
Speaker 2: the fire industry knows that winds whipping up a smoldering

262
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: fire will lead to a full blown blaze. Everybody in

263
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: that business knows it. And it's it's it's shocking. Nobody

264
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: wants to take any responsibility here, all these battalion chiefs

265
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: and these fire captains, nobody wants and now five fighters

266
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: speaking out first time in over a year, and it's

267
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: something they were texting to each other privately. And I'm

268
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: amazed at the cowardice. I mean, I'm I mean why

269
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 2: they carry themselves and the way people defer not only

270
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: to firefighters, but these these chiefs and these captains about

271
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: the noble work they do and the sacrifices they make

272
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: and how hard it is. But then their character completely

273
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: falls apart when it comes to telling the truth. How

274
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 2: could you not how could you not put out the

275
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: smoldering hotspots? How is that possible? Is that you do it?

276
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: Especially with the forecast for the high winds and the

277
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: high fire danger. And now everybody is hiding behind a

278
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: bush and nobody wants to say, honestly why they made

279
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: such How did so many people make so many bad

280
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: decisions at the same time? And then you know the

281
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: Scott Pike said, he was never interviewed for the after

282
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: action report. Everybody's been lying, everybody's been covering up. Well

283
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: here's now, here's the other part to it. California State

284
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: Parks and Raps showed up a guy named John Ota,

285
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: and Ota apparently was the one. I guess who is

286
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: in trying to get the firefighters off the state land.

287
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: And here's an excerpt from one firefighter from La Tommy

288
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: Kidahata his deposition, Where you guys.

289
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: Are at is state park land? Right, Yes, sir, it's

290
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: the Tapanga State Park?

291
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: Is their dirt?

292
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Do you remember speaking to anyone from state parks the

293
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: state of California, including John Oda?

294
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I didn't know he wasn't a firefighter.

295
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: But did you ever hear Ranger Oda tell chief moment

296
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: the state Parks would be patrolling the Lachman fire area

297
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: after led finished up, after they left. Do you know

298
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying?

299
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: Yes, because we're all together at that point.

300
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, at they'll have state park people looking at this area,

301
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 6: going through.

302
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: State park employees would be going through, yeah.

303
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: And looking for the same thing you guys were looking for,

304
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: because you don't want a rekindling to occur.

305
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: Of course, okay. So Kidahata says, yeah, yeah, I remember

306
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: John Oda and we were we were talking about how

307
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: State Parks and Rep. Those employees were going to be

308
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: surveilling the spot. Well, here is another firefighter, Martin Mullen

309
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: his deposition where he talks about interacting with this John

310
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: Oda from State Parks and rec.

311
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 6: He said, Hi, I'm miss John Oda. I don't remember

312
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 6: at the time, it was real quick. He said, I'm

313
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 6: with the UH. I thought he was a parker manger,

314
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 6: but with the State Department. How you doing John? And

315
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 6: he says, I'm helping anything and will look good right now.

316
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 6: And he had stated he's going to be every couple

317
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 6: of days him his crew patrol in the area.

318
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: They're going to be there for a couple of days

319
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: patrol the air, right, They'll be looking for hot spots,

320
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: they'll be looking for flare ups, right because the winds

321
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: are going to be blown really strong. This is right

322
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of all those warnings, just two days

323
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: away from Karen Bass leaving for Africa. Now here's John Oda,

324
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: the State Parks and Rec Rep. Who was supposed to

325
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: be watching things.

326
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 5: My initial training was while I'm sorry, Firefighter one, I'm

327
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: afraidding the name, but it's credential to under a national

328
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 5: working group that coordinates the different firefighter certifications across the country.

329
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: And that was on the first correct. Yes, did you

330
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: ever return to the scene of the fire after the first.

331
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: No, No, he never returned to the scene of the fire.

332
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: So Oda is telling LA Firefighter Martin Mullen and LA

333
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: Firefighter Tommy Kidahada that, yeah, we'll be around for a

334
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: few days. Well we'll look at this, look the hotspots, hotspots,

335
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: make sure nothing gets crazy. But he never did. He

336
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: never came back. So the alley firefighters leave and I

337
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 2: guess all these fire captains I've mentioned, I don't know

338
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: what they were rolling this, but they all left. They

339
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: told the firefighters roll up the hoses, let's get out

340
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: of here. And then you had these steak parks and

341
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: wreck employees. I guess they went home too. Everybody goes home.

342
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was a long It was a long weekend, right,

343
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: it was New Year's weekend. Nobody wanted to work, Nobody

344
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 2: wanted to stay on the job in case there was smoldering, smoke,

345
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: hotspots crackling. Scott Pike said, you know, you could hear crackling.

346
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: He's looking at the ash pits still smoldering. I mean

347
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: they could see it with their eyes, they could hear

348
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: it with their ears, they could smell it with their nose,

349
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: they could feel it with their touch. They had all

350
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: their senses working. They could hear it, see it, smell it,

351
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: they could touch it, and they ignored their senses. And

352
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 2: everybody went home and the fire reignited. But there were

353
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: no meetings with the fire chief Kristin Crowley, no meetings

354
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: with the mayor. Again, we're running mornings every fifteen minutes

355
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: here on KFI about the incoming winds and the heat

356
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: and the fire danger. And these people never got back

357
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: together and saying, hey, is that smoldering still going on?

358
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: Is there new smoldering? They never did. Fire chief didn't

359
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: know about it. Mayor didn't know about That's shocking to

360
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: me again. How could that many people not know, not care,

361
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: make the wrong decision, all on our payroll, that's all

362
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: our tax money. They all got jobs they can't be

363
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: fired from. They're all gonna be able to retire young

364
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: and have massive pensions. They all get a tremendous amount

365
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: of respect and adoration from everybody in the city. Actually,

366
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: when it came down to it, almost all of them

367
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: are really really screwed up. They were afraid to speak up.

368
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: They were afraid to push back the firefighters. And I

369
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: don't know about these captains. Isn't it automatic that you

370
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: put out the smoldering if your firefighters are telling you, hey,

371
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: we've got hotspots, well, of course you stay there with hoses.

372
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: Of course you keep trying to tamp it down. Of

373
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: course you do. Why wouldn't you what that's never explained here.

374
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep on top of this like everything else,

375
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: because they're hoping it all goes away.

376
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from Kifi.

377
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: We are on every day from three to six and

378
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 2: then after six o'clock John Cobelts Show on demand on

379
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: the iHeart app. You could listen to what you missed.

380
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: You know that Newsom is a shameless, lying, narcissistic psychopath,

381
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: but he's out doing himself. And it's first of all,

382
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: let me tell you the truth. The average price of

383
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: gas in this country is two ninety nine. It's the

384
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: average price of gas, and most states are at are

385
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: below three dollars. California is at four sixty five, but

386
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: the average is to ninety eight, and there are dozens

387
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: of states below to ninety eight. I think we jack

388
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: up the average a lot simply because of our size,

389
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: and it's going to go up across the country because

390
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: of the Iran war. There's no question about it. So

391
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: Newsom is now blaming Trump for soaring gas prices. This

392
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. We're a dollar sixty five more than the

393
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: national average, not including whatever happens in the Iran war.

394
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: We're a dollar sixty five more. Nearly all of that

395
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: is California taxes and regulations. So Newsom today actually had

396
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: a press conference where he says gas prices are going up,

397
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: You'll be paying more because of Trump's war. We have

398
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: specifically had extensive conversations over the weekend gaming out the

399
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: worst case scenarios. The worst case scenario has already happened

400
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: to a large extent because he has shut down so

401
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 2: much oil production in the state, and his policies of

402
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: taxes and regulation has closed two more refineries, two more

403
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: gas refineries in the state. And it's specifically Newsome's policies,

404
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: and he actually complained about the gas scarcity and the

405
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: spiking of prices because Trump said it could be months

406
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 2: of additional attacks, and so why does he do this.

407
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: It's a blatant lie. Everybody in the room knows he's lying.

408
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: He knows he's lying. He thinks his Trump deranged voters

409
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 2: will believe him, or want to believe him, that they'll

410
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: get so whipped up with their incessant hatred of Trump

411
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: that they'll they'll suspend disbelief. They know Newsom is lying

412
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: to them. It is all Newsom's policies that has There's

413
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: no question, there's no debate about this, there's no gray area.

414
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: The rest of the country is paying two ninety nine

415
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: and below and we're paying four sixty five. But he's

416
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: actually standing there in front of reporters and insisting that no,

417
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: this is gonna be Trump's fault. Vince fog is a

418
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: Republican congressman, and he's called Newsom's statements dangerous, irresponsible. His

419
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: policies have made our state increasingly dependent on foreign oil. Yeah,

420
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if you heard Michael Miche earlier this hour,

421
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: we're getting a ton of oil from places like Saudi Arabia,

422
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: a rock, and the United Arab Emirates and all that

423
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: oil has to be shipped through the waterways. So surrounding

424
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: the Middle East countries, the oil is getting refined. In India,

425
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: the oil is getting refined to gas in the Bahamas

426
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: and being shipped here. And so we're at the complete

427
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: mercy of all the insanity in the Middle East and

428
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: the rest of the world. So our oil production has

429
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: dropped dramatically, our gas refinery production has dropped dramatically, And

430
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: it's his, it's all his policy. And then he goes

431
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: how he blames Trump, thinking that all the Trump haters

432
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: will believe him, and maybe a big percentage will because

433
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: they're so stupid. Hey, Trump started the war here, and

434
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: the gas prices are going to go up because he

435
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: started the war. But that's not why we've been paying

436
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: a dollar sixty five more per gallon than the national average.

437
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: And if the war with Iran raises gas prices, it'll

438
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: raise him across the board, across all fifty states, We'll

439
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: still be paying a dollar sixty five more. And again

440
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: that's entirely Newsome's policy. But he just blatantly lies right

441
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: to the reporters. And I see him standing there with

442
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: this smug, arrogant look on his face, because he knows

443
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: this works on the stupid people who believe in him

444
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: and voted for him three times, and they are stupid.

445
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: If you can't see through Gavin Newsom, you have a

446
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: severely damaged IQ problem. I mean you really, you really

447
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: are a mushroom. You got nothing going for you if

448
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: you buy into his nonsense. All right, we got tomorrow,

449
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna We got the transcript here and I haven't

450
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: read through it. Bill Mlusion from Fox News posted some

451
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: stuff and we read a few clips that he provided.

452
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: But we've got the names of some of the Pearl

453
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: Board hearing members voted to release the compulsive serial rapist

454
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: of little children, David Funston. Funston's now been rearrested because

455
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: he had other crimes he committed that he was never

456
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: prosecuted for because everybody thought he was going to spend

457
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: life in prison, so it wasn't worth the time. But

458
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: we got the names of son of these people. And

459
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: these are women on the parle board who voted to

460
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: release a guy. And this guy told the parole Board

461
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: on September twenty fourth that he still fantasizes about little
