You wouldn't believe how many Democratic 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: Assembly members object to that concept. In fact, I can 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: tell you exactly how many fifty five of them voted 36 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: to voted against it a felony.

I 62 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: think is the more a technical turn? And then somewhere 63 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: along the line I woke up, Now they're sex workers. 64 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: Oh they have a union. 65 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: Oh when they have a lobbying force in Sacramento, which 66 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: I guess delighted all the perverts that pedophiles and predators 67 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: on the Assembly Public Safety Committee.

We 79 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: need a public health approach, and we urge you to 80 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: ap oh the bill. 81 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: What do we public health approach? 82 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: You have sixteen seventeen year olds being violated by by 83 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: by disgusting middle aged men for the most part. I mean, yeah, 84 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: they ought to get their shots to protect them.

If we eliminate the buyers, 89 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: we're not going to have the crime. A misdemeanor these 90 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: days is like a citation. It's like a traffic ticket. 91 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: There's no accountability, there's no deterrence. It used to be 92 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: when they enforced misdemeanors, you would get six months in 93 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: a county jail. And then if that was the law, 94 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 3: maybe some people go, well, okay, you know, but they 95 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: got They don't enforce misdemeanor punishments anymore, I mean, none 96 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: of them at all.

It 104 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: happened to you in your life, it's important to you. 105 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: Now you may engage in this kind of behavior. And 106 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: I cannot imagine anybody being this emotionally invested in protecting 107 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 3: the perverts from being charged with a felony unless they 108 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: themselves are said pervert. 109 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: That's the only reason. 110 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: So all fifty five Assembly members are suspect, including the women. 111 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: And we went through yesterday the history of women who 112 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: enable deviant sex acts. You could start with the Glene 113 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein. You could go with most of 114 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: the women who worked for Harvey Weinstein. You know Dottie Sandusky, 115 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: Jerry's Jerry's wife.

Well, if you're 134 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: gonna make it a misdemeanor, which isn't enforest, then they're 135 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: not safe.

Now. 144 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: I don't get it, I really don't. 145 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: Is this should have been a priority number one? 146 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: All that stuff was a big deal in the nineties. 147 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: Fiber Optics is not advanced technology anymore. Neither is wireless 148 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: or satellite. Anyway, when you hear how bad it. 149 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 4: Is, do we really need to talk about that? 150 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: You're going to be taking buses for the rest of 151 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: your life, you're being a bus strip Italy. 152 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 6: Next year you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from 153 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty. 154 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 3: Okay, yesterday we told you a lot about the failures 155 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 3: in air traffic control, specifically in Newark, where they lost 156 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: their radar and they lost their radio system and the 157 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 3: pilots and air t traffic control operators could not communicate 158 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 3: with each other. And this was so scary that a 159 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 3: twenty percent of the staff at that air traffic control 160 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 3: center is taking trauma leave, which I think is a 161 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: load of horse crap. You're traumatized because your radio goes 162 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: out for thirty cent Get back in the game because 163 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: now they're severely short staffed. Now there's a greater likelihood 164 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: of an accident, and it's going to be your fault 165 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: because you're at home sucking your thumb and whimpering under 166 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: your bed covers. What happened to men in this country? 167 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: You imagine if this crowd had to fight in World 168 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: War two? Can you imagine here they had their screen 169 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 3: go dark for thirty seconds. That's what happened. I'm not 170 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: minimizing it, but in thirty seconds, it was over. In 171 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: thirty seconds. The radios were working, and then you go 172 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 3: on trauma leave for weeks twenty percent. 173 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: Of the staff. 174 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: I don't know how these guys are, but this is 175 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 3: a generation of whimps and whoossies. 176 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: I mean embarrassing. 177 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 3: That is embarrassing the male species that you couldn't handle 178 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 3: thirty second seconds ofttention without taking a month off. 179 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 4: Aren't there some women air traffic controllers as well? 180 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 3: Well, they should be embarrassed too. They're supposed to be better. 181 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: I expect more. You your crowded, smarter than us. 182 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 4: Very true. 183 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 2: Now listen to this. 184 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: A former FAA official and other airline industry insiders told 185 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: The New York Post that air traffic controllers are you 186 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: going to love this? Are facing about one thousand equipment 187 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 3: failures per week, a thousand. Now, this problem in New 188 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: York was caused by a fried piece of copper wire. 189 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 3: The whole system is made of copper wire, and so 190 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 3: they're experiencing one thousand outages a week because the wires 191 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 3: all burned out. It fall fried. This is why Sean 192 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: Duffy is saying we're going to use fiber optics. Yeah, 193 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 3: fiber optics was a big breakthrough. I think thirty five 194 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 3: years ago. In fact, that's what one industry leader said. 195 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 3: Most of the current technology is from the late nineteen 196 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: eighties early nineties. And you know, we played clips of 197 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: Joe Biden trying to yuck it up on the view 198 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: and everybody's cackling, and you know, he had a simility attack. 199 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: The audience was cheering wildly. 200 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: Meantime, planes are about to fall from the sky. The 201 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 3: Biden administration did nothing about this. I don't think the 202 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: first Trump administration did anything, either, nor Obama or Bush, 203 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: any of them. This is a thirty five your problem. 204 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: It's amazing that we haven't had more fatal accidents than 205 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: we've had. 206 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 3: It is shocking. But I think we have had a 207 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: lot of near misses very in the last couple of years. 208 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: And I always wondered, is that is that always gone 209 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 3: on or is this the media just lasted ever since 210 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: that door blew off the Yeah, And I'm thinking momental 211 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: Maybe it's because everything's aging at the same time. You know, 212 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 3: maybe this is the thirty five year rot that's taking place. 213 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: There's tens of thousands of flights every day. They have 214 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: never had fewer qualified air traffic controllers on a percentage basis, 215 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: they have their computer systems running on floppy discs, which 216 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: if if you under the age of if you're over 217 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: the age of forty five or under the age of 218 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: forty five, you probably don't even know what a floppy 219 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: disk is, but it's what computers ran on. You slid 220 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: the disc into a slot and that had the information 221 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 3: on it that would appear on your screen. David Grizzle, 222 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: served as FAA Chief counsel under Obama, said the air 223 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 3: traffic control problem is entirely due to archaic equipment, shortage 224 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: of air traffic controllers, inadequate funding from Congress. When you 225 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: have unscheduled outages like what happened, you can't do the 226 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: safety for efficiency trade off like we've been doing. 227 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: At Newark. 228 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: The average flight is four hours delayed, and Newark is 229 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: the hub for United and a lot of people who 230 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: fly into New York City go to Newark. I've gone 231 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: there dozens of times. Like I said yesterday, that airport 232 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: was maybe fifteen miles from my house. The FAA is 233 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: holding planes on the ground all over the country. We're 234 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: short a thousand air traffic controllers compared to the year 235 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 3: twenty twelve and that's a nine percent decrease. They only 236 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: hired thirty four last year. We're short over one thousand. 237 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: They hired thirty four. We're having to cancel hundreds of 238 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: flights because we simply don't have the technology and staffing 239 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: to manage them. Yeah, and the airlines are always obsessed 240 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 3: with making more money and more money, and what they 241 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: do is stuff more and more flights into the schedule. 242 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: They're too concerned with charging you per bag and all 243 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: of that instead of this stuff. 244 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like Southwest is charging for bags now. 245 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 3: That was the last free bag airline. What official said 246 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: in Newark. By the way, the light is blinking. 247 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: I see that or is it? Or am I having 248 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: a No? 249 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I've noticed that is somebody trying to send you a 250 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: message from above. 251 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: The lights have been flickering all day. 252 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: Did I make one too many jokes about the Pope? 253 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 3: Just you know, it's going to like give me an 254 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: epileptic seizure. That blinking anyway, The official said primary communication 255 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: line went down in Newark. The backup line didn't fire. Okay, 256 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: so the main system and the backup system didn't work. 257 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 3: So for thirty seconds, everybody lost contact. 258 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: We got to take a break. This is enough bad news. 259 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't deal with this. 260 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: Don't call anyhoere I stay home and wait for the earthquake. Well, 261 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 3: we come back. If you missed it early, this is 262 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: worth sticking around for. We've got lips of Karen Bass 263 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 3: at some panel discussion that Alex Michaelston hosted from Fox 264 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 3: eleven and Karen Bass is sitting on a stage and 265 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 3: lining a rear end off and it's about it's about 266 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: the reservoir, and it's about the head of the d WP. 267 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 3: The idiot genis Qez. You are going to be shocked 268 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: how Bass is just blatantly lying right to people's faces. 269 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: We'll play some clips when we come back. 270 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 271 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 6: six forty. 272 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: Last call for the Moist line at eight seven seven 273 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six or 274 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 3: the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Twenty four hours 275 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: from now, we'll play it twice and within an hour 276 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 3: you'll be able to have today's podcast posted on the 277 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app John co Belt Show on demand. In case 278 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 3: you missed what we did earlier in the show, we 279 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 3: have occasionally been talking today about Karen Bass's public appearance. 280 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 3: She doesn't make too many because she should be hiding 281 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 3: in shame for the way she's handled the fire. From 282 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 3: the moment she lifted off for Africa right up to 283 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 3: this moment, it has been one bumblow and stumble after another, 284 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 3: and then she's got another one, like there's something missing 285 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 3: in that brain, there's something not working. Alex Michaelson moderated 286 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: a panel discussion at the Milk And Institute. They have 287 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 3: a global conference. He's the Fox eleven answer and Alex, 288 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 3: we're going to start with cut two and these are 289 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 3: pretty simple questions and this tells you everything you need 290 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 3: to know about Karen Bass's incompetence and stupidity and her dishonesty. 291 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: White cut number two. 292 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 5: So one of the big issues was the reservoir and 293 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 5: the fact that the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was empty, 294 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 5: It was not a reservoir, was a reservoir for drinking water. 295 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 5: So it was covered and the problem was there was 296 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 5: a tear in the cover, and so the state ordered 297 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 5: it to be empty and closed and it hadn't been 298 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: finished in time. 299 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 2: That's a big lie. It's not for drinking purposes. It's not. 300 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: You'd think she would have read the front page of 301 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 3: the La Times. Two weeks after the fire happened. On 302 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 3: January twenty second, Matt Hamilton and David Zanneiser wrote a 303 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: story headline, can't miss it. This reservoir was built to 304 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 3: save Pacific Palisades. 305 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 2: It was empty when the flames came. Here are the details. 306 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: This is truth. This is the historical record. 307 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: They went into the Times archives over fifty years ago 308 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 3: to find out why that reservoir was built. Now, remember 309 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: she said it was for drinking. 310 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: He bases false. 311 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 3: They werite After flames leveled nearly five hundred homes in 312 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 3: bel Air and Brentwood in nineteen sixty one, Los Angeles 313 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 3: had a reckoning over firefighting. By nineteen sixty four, city 314 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 3: leaders had added thirteen fire stations, mapped out fire hydrants, 315 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 3: purchased helicopters, and dispatched more crews to the Santa Monica Mountains. 316 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 3: To accommodate growth in Pacific Palisades, they built a reservoir 317 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: and sent in as Canyon as well as a pumping 318 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: station quote to increase fire protection end quote. As the 319 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: LA Department of Water empowers then chief water Engineer, Gerald W. Jones, 320 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 3: told The Times in nineteen seventy two. So if you 321 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: went to the Times database back to nineteen seventy two, 322 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 3: you will see an article quoting the chief water engineer 323 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: for the DWP, Gerald W. 324 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: Joe, Gerald W. 325 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: Jones, And he said the reservoir was built to increase 326 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: fire protection. And everybody knew that in the Palisades right 327 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 3: up to this day. Some Palisades residents had initially fought 328 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: to have a reservoir so closely, right fearing a repeat 329 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 3: of the nineteen sixty three Baldwin Hills disaster, where in 330 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 3: a reservoir failed, killing five people and destroying about two 331 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty homes. In the decades since, the cent 332 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 3: Inez Reservoir has become a source of comfort, said Peggy Halter, 333 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: who purchased a townhouse in Palisades Highlands nineteen seventy eight. 334 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: I used to say all the time, boy, I know 335 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 3: one thing that will never happen is our place will 336 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: burn down. She's just a stone throw from the reservoir. 337 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: It was the one thing I never worried about. Now 338 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 3: we knew that Bass and the rest of the city 339 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 3: officials and the DWP officials were lying because one of 340 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 3: the attorneys representing the Palisades' residents came on the show 341 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: and told us that all of a sudden, all the 342 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 3: officials city references to the reservoir online and legal paperwork, 343 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: public statements, they suddenly started calling the reservoir. 344 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: A drinking water reservoir. 345 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: It's not, and I could prove to you it's not 346 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: because this reservoir was closed for much of last year 347 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 3: and nobody went thirsty in the Pacific Palisades. Remember they 348 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 3: drained it early in the year. I think it was February, 349 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 3: So if it was a drinking water reservoir, not one 350 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 3: time did anyone turn on the faucet and didn't have 351 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 3: enough water coming out, didn't have enough water pressure. 352 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: So that was clearly a lie. 353 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: Now I'm going to play a larger clip here, and 354 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: her comment about drinking water is embedded in this. Alex 355 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 3: asks Karen Dass if she's satisfied with the LEDWP response. 356 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 7: Are you satisfied with the performance of the LADWP. There's 357 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 7: been a lot of questions about Janice Canonis, who's making 358 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 7: seven over seven hundred thousand dollars a year. Do you 359 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 7: think that she did a good job and should she 360 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 7: continue in that job. 361 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 5: Well, I certainly would not sit here and say she 362 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 5: shouldn't continue in her job. But the issue with the 363 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 5: DWP actually is the DWP and the fire department as well. 364 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 5: So one of the big issues was the reservoir and 365 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 5: the fact that the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was empty, 366 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 5: it was not a reservoir. What was a reservoir for 367 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 5: drinking water? So it was covered and the problem was 368 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 5: there was a tear in the cover, and so the 369 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 5: state ordered it to be empty and closed, and it 370 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 5: hadn't been finished in time. The other issue that overlaps 371 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 5: with the fire department were the fire hydrants and there 372 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 5: is a lot of evaluation and reporting that we need 373 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 5: to do to fix that as well. So the way 374 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 5: it is done now is that the fire department essentially 375 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 5: inspect the fire hydrants and then they give the information 376 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 5: over to the DWP, and the DWP then fix repairs them. 377 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 5: That information was not received and so that was a 378 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: problem on the fire department. But the issue I would 379 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 5: raise is why do we even do it that way? 380 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 5: And so I think that we have to take the 381 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 5: lessons from this tragedy to figure out how we strengthen 382 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 5: all of our systems, and most notably the Emergency Management 383 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 5: Department as well as the fire department, both of those. 384 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 3: Why didn't you do that in your first two years? 385 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: This is the danger of hiring somebody to do a 386 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 3: job where she had no experience in politics at the 387 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 3: city level. 388 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: She didn't. 389 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 3: She spent the last more than a decade in Washington, 390 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 3: DC as a congresswoman, and before that she was up 391 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 3: in the legislature, so she didn't know anything about how 392 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 3: the city worked. Don't they you know, I'm sure they've 393 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 3: gone to a lot of DEI seminars and sexual harassment 394 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: senator seminars and racial sensitivity seminars. Did they ever have 395 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: a single seminar? What happens if there's a fire in 396 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 3: the Santa Monica Mountains? Do we have a water system 397 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 3: that can handle it or we can get a water pressure? 398 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: Are the fire hydrants working? Do we have enough fire engines? 399 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: Do we have enough firefighter personnel? Wouldn't you do a 400 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 3: run through once a year if you were the mayor? 401 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 3: Shouldn't that be said? I mean, you know, they all 402 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 3: have their DEI sexual harassment, racial sensitivity seminars every year, 403 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 3: you know, online seminars that gone for hours, but they 404 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 3: had no fire preparation seminars. What kind of a mayor 405 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 3: doesn't know all this up front and corrects it in advance. 406 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: Now let's learn the lessons. 407 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: Are we come back, Elex probs further about this this 408 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 3: Genie Kinoniez. 409 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: It's like a cockroach. I mean, you just can't get 410 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: rid of her. 411 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 3: Running DWP very badly, and she's making seven hundred and 412 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars a year and she screwed up with 413 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 3: the W and with the P. Tell you about it, 414 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 3: and we come back, and we'll play the clip. 415 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 416 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 6: six forty. 417 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 3: All right, before we go play one more clip. Alex Michaelson, 418 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 3: Fox eleven. He moderated a panel at the Milken Institute 419 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 3: Global Conference. Karen Dass is up there, and she lied 420 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: about the purpose of the Santienez Reservoir. She said it 421 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: had to be closed because it's meant for drinking water, 422 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: and that's why you had to fix the cover. No, 423 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: it was built for fire protection. Never should have been 424 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 3: emptied of its one hundred and seventeen million gallons. 425 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: She not only lies, she it's. 426 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: Impossible for her to hold Genie Kennoona as responsible because 427 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 3: Kenoonnia is not only blew the reservoir situation by not 428 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 3: having it full during fire season, she also did not 429 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 3: cut the power off up in the Pacific Highlands and 430 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 3: then one of the power polls collapsed, brought energized lines 431 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 3: down on dry brush, and that caused a second fire 432 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 3: that day, twelve hours after the fire originally broke. Was 433 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: this second fire, And I think that did a lot 434 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: of damage by itself. 435 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: But at the if the. 436 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: Power had been turned off, how did they not turn 437 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 3: off the power? The fire is burning for twelve hours. 438 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 3: So she's not only she's dangerous. How she may have 439 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: killed people? And she's making seven hundred and fifty thousand 440 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 3: dollars a year and listened to Bess defend the salary 441 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 3: cut number three. 442 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 7: But you understand how some people see that job performance 443 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 7: maybe not meriting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 444 00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: That's more than you make, that's more than Let me. 445 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 5: Let me just say that the DWP is the nation's 446 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 5: largest utility, and if you compare our utility to Omaha, Nebraska, 447 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 5: where the salary was around the same. A small town, 448 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 5: I mean in Bigtail, maybe in Nebraska, but small compared 449 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 5: to Los Angeles. And so to me, I want to 450 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 5: get the best talent around the around the nation, and 451 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 5: we did a national search and that's what it took. 452 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 5: She took a significant pay cut to come to work 453 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 5: for Los Angeles. 454 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 7: Woh good, I guess I'm in the wrong line of work. 455 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 2: So what all right? You can stop it there. She 456 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: took it. 457 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 3: She took us a significant pay cut. I'm going to 458 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 3: find out what her what her background was. That's the 459 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: best talent, the best talent, Len's lend let's a one 460 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir sit dry. That's the 461 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: best talent, Like Kristin Crowley, that was the best talent 462 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: to run the fire department and send the fire fired 463 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 3: his home. This is insane speech, This is ridiculous. She's 464 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 3: got no shame at all. Let's that's a crazy person 465 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 3: talking there. That's an absolute crazy person. She hired these 466 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 3: people and she's got such a such an ego. Why 467 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: didn't you admit you you hired a failure? You kept 468 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 3: Kristin Crowley on she was a failure. You kept ken 469 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 3: Onya's on she's a failure and you're a failure. All 470 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 3: three of them did. 471 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: Now she's covering up and lying. 472 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 7: And. 473 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: We did a nationwide search. 474 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: The last guy who was the DWP, Haad did it 475 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: for four hundred some odd thousand dollars. 476 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: I don't know if he would have filled up the 477 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 2: reservoir or not. We'll never know that. 478 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 3: But you didn't have to pay seven hundred and fifty 479 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year to the woman who helped burn 480 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: down Palisades. You could have gotten somebody to do that 481 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 3: for less money. All Right, we'll be back tomorrow. We've 482 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: got Conway up in minutes.
