1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Can't.

Speaker 2: Nay may be familiar to you, even if you never

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: saw the reality TV shows that he was in over

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: the years. He is the one of the high profile

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: Palisades just citizen warriors going up, going up against the

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: NEWSOB administration, the Bass administration, the cover ups going on

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: in the fire department. He lost his home in the

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Palisades fire, and he has been relentless since it happened,

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 2: demanding to get truth and to get action out of

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: all the state and local agencies who have failed all

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: the people in the Palisades and and Altadena as well.

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: Let's get Spencer Pratt on right now. Spencer, welcome, Thank.

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: You, thank you. My mom has been listening to you

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: my entire life, so I'm honored to be on her

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: favorite radio show.

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: I apologize for that. A lot of that was probably

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: against your will.

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: Still it's still your biggest supporter.

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: Well tell her, I say, I said, hi, and I'm

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: really flattered. I will Spencer you have. I will give

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: you a lot of credit because you are absolutely unrelenting.

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: A lot of people get angry, you know for a

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: day or two or a week. You have kept the

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: torch going for ten months now and just putting out

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: real information and documents and videos. And we've been following

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: all your social media all these months and gotten quite

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 2: a lot of important information you had that wasn't covered

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: by the regular media in town. I guess, well, they're.

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: In on the cover. So it's that's why. So that's

35
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: what I've learned, is you know, even if they wanted

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: to cover the stuff, they can't because you know, there's

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: ad dollars. It's just this such a it is it's

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: a conspiracy, you know, so that it's really hard to

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: get the truth out. And there are journalists that are

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, do the best they can, and I don't

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: want to, you know, shame them all, but one across

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: the board, this is I keep saying, like the biggest

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: cover up ever. And I mean I also keep saying

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: they burned down the wrong person's house, they burned down

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: the wrong person's parents' house, because I will do this

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life and until every single

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: person knows what truly went on here. I'm not stopping.

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: So everyone keeps on thinking like, oh, maybe he'll burn out.

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Don't know. They already burned me out, so now I'm

50
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: going to burn down his lives.

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: Describe what you think the cover up entails, And I

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: know that's a broad question, but it is. It is.

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: It is a broad cover up from Sacramento to Los

54
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: Angeles and law enforcement agencies here, the fire department, the media.

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: You're You're right on all those counts. I have exactly

56
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: the same opinion. What you describe what you think the

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: cover up is here?

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's but here. It started day one, when

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: right away you got Newsome lying in front of our

60
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: burning town talking about I pre deployed all these cal

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: fire when he didn't pre deploy one thing, that the

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: palisades leading in to a red flag event. LAFD didn't

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: pre deploy one thing leading into So just from day one,

64
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: in front of burning buildings, with people probably still burning

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: alive in their houses, you have Newsome Lyne. You can't

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: even get Karen bass Line because she's busy on in

67
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Africa deleting all her messages with their app. So you

68
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: got the la ed WT going backwards in there, you know,

69
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: in their logs, trying to change you know, when they

70
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: suppose we went to turn off the power. So I

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: mean it started from the junk and then they went

72
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: on with the hurricane winds. There was no hurricane winds

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Palisades. The max winds were thirty miles

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: per hour. So they connect the Altadena fire, which did

75
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: have some serious winds, but it's a whole different fire.

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: It was clearly Edison's electrical equipment. Yes, it was actually

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: in state park which are state property, which people don't

78
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: really talk about. So that's really also on Newsome. But

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: I digress in that that's a clear cut and that's

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: why people always like Spencer ware. You talking about Altadena,

81
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: the CEO of edisaur they already said this is them.

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: They had ninety year old equipment that you know, shot

83
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: some sparks. So the difference is they did have the wind,

84
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: they did have the electrical We didn't have that. What

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 1: we had was two empty reservoirs. I lived next door

86
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: to a reservoir. The Palisades Reservoir, not this Sandi and

87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: as the Palisades Reservoir held, it was so hold six

88
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: million gallons. And when they decided they were going to

89
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: drain one hundred and sixteen million gallon. When I said they,

90
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: jimnie quinnonas who makes seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars

91
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: a year, and now also I think a quarter million

92
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: dollars in a security guard and a driver. And then

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: you also look at all the ladwts. Now they're all

94
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: making more than five hundred thousand dollars, which good for them, right,

95
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: But the fact is that for one hundred and forty

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, it took over a year to repair a

97
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: rip cover on a on a reservoir that wasn't even

98
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: built for drinking water. So that's even a bigger Who

99
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: knows who got the kickbacks when they decided to rebuild

100
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: this reservoir into a ledge drinking water reservoir that no

101
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: one's drinking out of it. It was built for wildfire protection.

102
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: That's the it's quoted in the La Times when the

103
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: guy built it. Why they did it was because there

104
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: was the Mandeville fire back then, and they were like

105
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: we need another thing to fight wires, so they built that.

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: So you got Jennie Quinionas knowingly leaving two of the

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: biggest resources for wildfires empty in the Palisades. And then

108
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: right away the day after the clever up starts they go, oh,

109
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: it wouldn't even mattered. Oh, they was never designed for

110
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: fighting structures past three What are they talking about. It

111
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: mattered because the helicopters. If it wasn't designed for wildfire,

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: why do they have the pumps that the helicopters connect

113
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: to the reservoir. It's because that's what it's for. So

114
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: these helicopters for the first six hours of the Palisades fire,

115
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: they got to fly to Pepperdine, they got to fly

116
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: to Encino. This is the most important time when a

117
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: fire starts, with that initial attack to get the water

118
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: on it, and they're having it spend six and a

119
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: half hours of the actual time in the air going

120
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: to get bought thirty seconds we're talking Sanny and z.

121
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: The Lachmann in one of these fire hawks or whatever

122
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: they called would have taken thirty seconds. But no, they

123
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: got to fly all the way to get the water.

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: So you got back to the bigger picture, the cover

125
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: up started insiling hurricane wings. We had pre deployed, we

126
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: were ready for this. Oh the water was never meant

127
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: for fires. So and then it's it's just I mean

128
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: that's day two. Now, you know, we're ten months later.

129
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: You got the new chief more the other day in

130
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: the to fire commission thing going. I don't know about

131
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: any of these text messages and these reports. Excuse me, sir,

132
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: you could have asked, because on Saturday you went and

133
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: shook hands with all the Station sixty nine guys in

134
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: the palaicies. Why don't you just ask them to their

135
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: face or did you or did you go there and

136
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: tell them to shut the f up and to stop,

137
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, trying to tell the truth because the troop

138
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: doesn't look good for the fire family or whatever. Bs

139
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: these politicians, because that's what you'll learn, all these upper

140
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: brass firefighters, they're politicians. They're not the boots on the ground,

141
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the guys behind the hose. They operate at a different level.

142
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: They just they're just doing literally what Karen bass and

143
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: what keeps the bonuses. So these guys are all in

144
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: on it too. But then the real cover up, the

145
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: one that's like why we're on the phone today because

146
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I feel like the La Times, I'm glad they're even

147
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: digging into this. They included me a piece about the

148
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: state parks and the Lockman fire, and I feel like

149
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: some of the bigger pieces of that article were kind

150
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: of missed. So for people that don't understand what they've

151
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: done in the cover up is that first it was

152
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: climate change. Oh my gosh, you know New York Times

153
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: is arguing me for two weeks. How do you not

154
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: say this is climate change? We do some sets, the

155
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: wets or wetter, the drives or dryer, blah blah blah.

156
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: And then the AHF comes out with their federal investigation. No,

157
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: now there's it's an arsonist. Oh really, No, the arsonists

158
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: was January first, and now with eight acres the news

159
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: bass lawp that's twenty five thousand acres. That's six days later.

160
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: So you can't sit here and try to blame a

161
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: guy who we don't you know, allegedly we don't have

162
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: allegedly is arsonists for the palace. As far this is

163
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: on Newsom Bath in the.

164
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: Laed me just let me let me just stop you

165
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: for a second. Got to do a commercial break and

166
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: get some news. We come back. I want to talk

167
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: more about the specific article in the LA Times that

168
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: you refer to. Okay, Spencer Pratt, he is the activist

169
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: for the Pacific Palisades and community he lost his house

170
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: and reality television star, so he's he's got a name,

171
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: and he's using that name to attract an enormous amount

172
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: of attention to everything that he just laid out. That

173
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: all those all those cover up bullet points that he

174
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: went through. Yeah, that was just day one.

175
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

176
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: six forty.

177
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: John Cobelt, we continue with Spencer Pratt, the reality TV

178
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: star has become the outspoken leader for Palisades residents who

179
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: are fighting the massive cover up and the massive incompetence

180
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: that led to the fire and persist to this day,

181
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: the cover up and the incompetence and Spencer. When we left,

182
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: you were starting to address an article in the Los

183
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: Angeles Times today, and this concerns something we have talked

184
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: about this week. California State Parks sent a representative to

185
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: the site of the original fire and apparently ordered LA

186
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: Fire Department not to use a bulldozer to cut a

187
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: line around the fire because that would harm a lot

188
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: of the local plants that they felt were endangered. To

189
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: talk about.

190
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: This, yeah, so like in this article, it's very he said.

191
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: She said. Spencer said that California is eight parts, tried

192
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: to restrict how firefighters caught the fire, and then she

193
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: said they didn't. Well, no backcheck, no conclusion. You don't

194
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: have to wait for the state park's confession. You could

195
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: actually research their state park policy documents like the one

196
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: that I have. I can set you the link where

197
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: in the job description of the c SP Resource Advisor

198
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: they're explicitly taught to minimize in quotes, impacts the natural

199
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: cultural resources caused by wildland fire suppression. What does this mean? Well,

200
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: obviously by natural resources they mean plants. Their stated intent

201
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: is to reduce the amount of plants being cut by

202
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: wild firefighters. The writing on their policies is literally in

203
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: bold bomb on the word suppression. They clearly see the

204
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: standard work of wildland firefighters to be a significant problem.

205
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Can you reduce avoidable suppression impacts and still properly containing

206
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: a fire? Sure? But at simple point of fact, the

207
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: purpose of this is that it precludes the firefighters from

208
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: just doing their job as they see fit, which given

209
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: the consequences, is preferable over the plant priority approach. So,

210
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: like I was trying to tell them, it's, you know,

211
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: the LAFD is gonna do their best to put out

212
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: a fire, but if when they arrive on site, if

213
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: there's a state representative telling them they can't have a dozer.

214
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: And so that's kind of where the report mixed up

215
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: that well, I was told by the battalion chief wasn't

216
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: about the mop up. It was when they got there

217
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: for the fire. So they conflate the initial attack and

218
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: the fire line construction and the mop up. They're not

219
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. The dozers are used for the line construction,

220
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: not mop up. So when the ARP when they show

221
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: up to tell the battalion chief who I spoke with,

222
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: and they have a map of where there's a dozer

223
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: exclusion zone. And this is during the initial attack on

224
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: January first. So I don't know the whole counterpoint. And

225
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: the article someone says that dozers aren't used for mop up.

226
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: I was never saying that, and neither is Alexander Robertson

227
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: the lawyer. His quote is they couldn't bring a bulldozer

228
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: in to cut a line around the fire, and they

229
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: could not do mop up with their hand tools. He's

230
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: specifically villinating between dozer line construction on the initial attack

231
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: mop up with the hand tools, which was also restricted.

232
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: So this whole thing about like in the article, it's like, oh,

233
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: this guy says Spencer's wrong a former thing, we wouldn't

234
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: use dozers. It's actually in their own thing that they

235
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't use dozers because of what he's saying that it

236
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: is because of safety upgrades and power equipment, that that

237
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: area was halted for dozers because of their milk belch

238
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: plant and they were banned. So the article it's like,

239
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: thankfully they're even like talking about it, but it's just

240
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: confusing the reader, like because they bring in some retired

241
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: LAFD guy it's like, oh, we would never use thosers.

242
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I never said they would use them on

243
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: the mop up. So that's where it's a little nic frustrating.

244
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Well, but you do have to wonder, now, I would

245
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: think that there'd be forces out there trying to discredit

246
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: you in some way, even if they're they're they're they're

247
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: nitpicking on me on a mistake you didn't make.

248
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's why I called in today, you know, because

249
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to come in studio and do a whole

250
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: thing with you, and I want to fit the schedule.

251
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: But then after this article, I was like, this is

252
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: too big of a thing for like paragraphs to be

253
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: kind of put. You know, I'm not saying I'm it's

254
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: just not the right order. So I will tell exactly

255
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: what happened. So I got a d M from a

256
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: firefighter that was on the Lochman mop up on January

257
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: tewod and he told me, you know, a whole message.

258
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: I've posted it and he said that he went up

259
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: to the battalion chief and he said, it's still smoldering.

260
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: We can't pull hose. And the battalion chief looked at him,

261
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: ignored him, and said pulled the hose. And so when

262
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: I heard that, I was like, I'm tracking down this

263
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: battalion chief. So I got a hold of this battalion

264
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: chief and so you know, he, in his defense, he

265
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: doesn't believe that it was smoldering. You know, we all

266
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: obviously know he's wrong. There was lots of videos, but

267
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't the takeaway from our conversation. I said, because

268
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: I was like were there any eight people there because

269
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: I had heard that there was a state right and

270
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: he said yes. When we got to the fire, there

271
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: was a woman from the state with a map and

272
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: she was showing all the areas we couldn't touch fighting

273
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: the January first fire because of protected and danger. And

274
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: he said his takeaway was he was shocked how much

275
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: protected area was up there and asked to keep the

276
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: map and she said no. And then she also said

277
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: they couldn't bring a dozer up, So it's not a

278
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: he said. She said, we're going to subpoena this guy,

279
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: this battalion chief, he's going to have to talk under

280
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: oath face perjury, and he's going to say that they

281
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: were told no dozer. So it's not about the mop up.

282
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: The dozer could have been there for that night, for

283
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: the initial fire, and think about the fire line that

284
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: that dozer would have created around the burnscar. So not

285
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: the mop up, the initial attack. And so we now

286
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: know the state didn't use any of their So people

287
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: who realize the state parks have their own fire trucks,

288
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: their own fire the whole team is like, I want

289
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: to say, there's the least eleven of these truck from

290
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: Malivern puzzlege. So once now this Newsom's lawyers are denying

291
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: that the state there was anybody from the state even there,

292
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: even though now we got photos of video of the

293
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: state rep walking the burnscar with LAFB firefighters. So they're

294
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: they're lying in court as of like two days ago.

295
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they knew we had the

296
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: video photo.

297
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but they were definitely like, Spencer, can you

298
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: stand up for another segment? I got a longer segment

299
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: coming up?

300
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, got time.

Speaker 2: YouTube dot com slash at John Cobelt Show and reporting

310
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: more video clips, not just the short ones that you

311
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: get on Instagram, but full segments and longer than that.

312
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: Right now we're talking to Spencer Pratt, the most outspoken

313
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: resident of the Palisades, he lost his home, and the

314
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: former reality TV star has been absolutely relentless going after

315
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: the Newsom administration, the Bass administration, the LA Fire Department,

316
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: and everybody, every agency, every official involved in the lack

317
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: of preparation, the lack of response, the cover up, the

318
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: whole thing. And I got to say, Spencer, you're just

319
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: going through a list of the cover ups from the

320
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: first first day or two was that's a long list.

321
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 2: I mean we were just talking about it here in

322
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: the studio. You forget all this stuff because there have

323
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: been so many angles to this story covered up, and

324
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 2: now it's ten months old, and it's really good to

325
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: go back to the beginning and remind everybody the lies

326
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: that were told and the cover up that has been

327
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: going on. Do you get any blowback from anybody in

328
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: government about what you're doing? Anybody try to intimidate you

329
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: to shut up?

330
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. I'm so locked in and they

331
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: couldn't even dream of it. I think the only people

332
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: that I ever you know, you know, trolls that will

333
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: pop up now since Newsom's best thing that he's done

334
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: since destroying the state is focusing on life. Just yelling

335
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: about Trump. So now people that don't like Trump think

336
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: that if I'm just attacking newsom don't have any connection

337
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: to why I'm at. I do something for what he's

338
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: done to my town and a lot of California. So

339
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: that's the only thing, and that's newer since he started

340
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: doing the whole you know, look over here, look over here,

341
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: don't look at Actually I'm the worst person for the

342
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: last twenty one years. So other than that, knowing, people

343
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: got to realize I do this because I interact with

344
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, eighty year old like grandparents crying because they

345
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: can't go back and ninety years. You know, I interact

346
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: with these people that who lost everything. So you know,

347
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: there's no they can push back all they want, there's

348
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: nothing stopping what's behind me. So what's just so crazy

349
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: is people don't realize that we talked about the Palace

350
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: dates fire. But this is gonna come. You know, I

351
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but it's coming to the Hollywood Hills,

352
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: it's coming to bel Air, it's coming to This is

353
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: just my areas that I know I can't imagine out

354
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: past what I know and my religious radar. But the

355
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: fact that posts Palle states fire. They're still not doing

356
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: the prescribe burns. There's still not clearing the dead brush,

357
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: they're still not doing the fire breaks. It's scary that

358
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: they truly have learned nothing from the Palace States fire

359
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: and twelve people burning alive, seven thousand structures, and it's

360
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: just it's all Newsome. People don't realize that it's not

361
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: climate change. Seven of the ten worst wildfires in the

362
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: history of California are during Newsom's rain his era, So

363
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: the time it didn't just decide, Oh, why Newsom's in charge,

364
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to make so many more fires and burn everything. No,

365
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: CHEATAHS doesn't know how to properly manage the state parks.

366
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: And that's why the Palacetae fire is going to be

367
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: such an important message to you know, our government is

368
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: they're on the hook for this. This is their property

369
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: that they let just smolder for six days, didn't monitor it,

370
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: didn't bring they didn't need normal Let's say everyone's like, oh,

371
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: we should have you know, you know, the new chiefs like, oh,

372
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna definitely use thermal drones now now that we've

373
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: warned our lesson then need thermal drones. I know four

374
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: firefighters that reached out to the upper command and said, hey,

375
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: it's smoldering, it's red. There's smoke coming off of it

376
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: leading into a red flag. It's not about technology, it's

377
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: about people's negligence. So forget even the LAFD. You know,

378
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: you can look at it as once they put it out,

379
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: and they said at publicly they thought it was dead out,

380
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: it becomes the state's responsibility. It's in their own manual

381
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: to close the state park and make sure it's not

382
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: a dangerous condition for the community or what's next to it.

383
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: So they're argument in court the other days because the

384
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: better precedent of this legal case a like oh well,

385
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: better state Park doesn't have massive amounts of gasoline sitting around.

386
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: So either they're the biggest liars or the worst attorneys

387
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: that they don't even know how to read their own

388
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: Instagram accounts like I posted one day ago. Caw fire

389
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: has a whole post and they're referring to vegetation management

390
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: as fuels reduction. So what the lawyers for Newsomb State

391
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: attorneys don't get. You don't need gasoline. The entire state

392
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: park was fuel. It was forty sixty years of dead

393
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: brush just piling up next to people's houses. And here's

394
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: the best part. They go around getting tickets telling us

395
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: on our properties to clear our yards. They got the

396
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: new zone zero law they want to create where you

397
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: don't have any of these plants. Which I'm not saying

398
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: that's bad or whatever. I'm just saying in the own community,

399
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: you get fined for not clearing your dead brush. Yet

400
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: they have it connected to everyone's houses, just forty years

401
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: of just thick dead brush, which their old manual says

402
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to be clearing one hundred and thirty

403
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: feet of this dead brush connecting to all of our houses.

404
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: So you know the bigger picture. I'm excited for the

405
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: future because I do think when all's said and done

406
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: and this is you know, Newsom goes down for this,

407
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: California won't keep burning down because they're going to learn

408
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: a hard, expensive lesson. They should have already learned it

409
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: with people burning alive and you know, fifty billion plus

410
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: in people's properties, But they don't because they actually don't

411
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: care about any of us, which.

412
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: Is no, they don't let me. Let me ask you something,

413
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: what's the state of the rebuild?

414
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: And that's the other funniest thing. So you got Karen

415
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: baths bragging is not funny dark humor. Excuse me, Karen

416
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: Bath's out here bragging the posts. I just did an

417
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: executive order to cut all the fees for rebuilding, knowing

418
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: damn well that her executive order means nothing and she

419
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: needs a super majority vote from the city Council to

420
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: even approve waving the fees, which they have not waived.

421
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: So out of seven thousand plus structures, you know, there's

422
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: arguments about what the number is, but we're talking three

423
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: hundred maybe houses are being rebuilt, and like they're bragging about,

424
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: like one house just finished. That house was already in

425
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: the works before the fire. A lot of these properties

426
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: they count and a lot of these permits they brag about.

427
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: It's you're adding a pool. Now you have to get

428
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: a new permit a proof. So we're talking three hundred max.

429
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: Out of seven thousand. So there's no and it's impossible.

430
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: People are dealing with it now. They're fighting the LADWP

431
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: before underground the power lines, even though we have evidence

432
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: of these power lines having creating new fires on January

433
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: seventh and January eighth with these poles going down. So

434
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: they're fighting the not underground power lines and they're trying

435
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: to charge everyone, so it's it's just a disaster after disaster.

436
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: And then they do little photos and igs with little

437
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: music and they're like, oh, reper rebuilding, we're doing the

438
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: fastest ever. Also, fastest ever in Los Angeles is the

439
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: slowest anywhere on planet Earth. So you can't even reference

440
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: fast and la like, oh, this is three times what

441
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: it usually takes. Well, it shouldn't have taken that, and

442
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: anywhere else. It's just like, for instance, Senator Rick Scott

443
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: when he was out here for the Congressional like hearing,

444
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: he told me in Florida with the hurricanes, if they're

445
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: not already rebuilding and houses aren't up within three months

446
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: of a hurricane, he said, the pitch for us come out.

447
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: But here we are ten months later. And you know

448
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: the other thing people that don't even talk about is

449
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: everyone got destroyed with insurance because of Gavin Newsom. And

450
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: and it's Ricardo Laura who's out there on fifty vacations

451
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: on Safari with thirty thousand in bodyguards. I don't even

452
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: know what, won't even do what this guy looked like,

453
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: yet he had thirty thousand bodyguards so he's traveling around

454
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: the world. Let it while we're all getting cooked by

455
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: the insurance companies because of course they don't want to win.

456
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: Sure these as they would say extreme fire zones, they're

457
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: extreme fire zones because anyone with the brain knows that

458
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: Newsome doesn't maintain his state parks and lets these environmentalists

459
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: he puts in charge so that he can be like, oh,

Speaker 2: just joining us or you got it in the middle,

516
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: I really they really would listen to our three of

517
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: the podcast today and listen to him detail a lot

518
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: of the early cover up, a lot of the early

519
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: sins committed by Newsomb administration, Bass administration, the Fire Department,

520
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: and how much they have tried to cover up, and

521
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: all the lies they told and the phony excuses and

522
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: the propaganda and the nonsense that continues to this day.

523
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: I've told you for a long time that almost everything

524
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: public officials utter in California are lies in propaganda, and

525
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: they had there was very little preparation for this, very

526
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: little execution to combat the fire, and now post fire,

527
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: everything's been covering up, covering it up and lying. There's

528
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: and to think to think that the reason the state

529
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: may have chased those La Fire fires away the day

530
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: after the original fire was to protect the milk vetch plant.

531
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: I'd read this early on in the La Times, and

532
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: I believe we talked about it. But that's what got

533
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: a state Parks representative to come down in the middle

534
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: of the night and get the LA Fire Department to

535
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: stop building a fire line. They couldn't have bulldozers in

536
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: order to build a fire break to keep the fire

537
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: from spreading. And then you bundle that with the LA

538
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: Fire Department taken off from a smoldering fire. And again

539
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: this you know, we got to separate because I can

540
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: see what this new fire chief is doing. Iimmore he's

541
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: trying to take the obvious, clear criticism of fire management

542
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: and say, oh, you're smearing the hard working firefighters put

543
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: their lives on the line. Boy, that is the cheapest

544
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: dodge in the world. And it may intimidate some people.

545
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: You may be trying to embarrass some people. That's silence.

546
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: It's not going to work here. It's not going to

547
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: work with Spencer Pratty. Okay, I know what you're doing.

548
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: I have listened to public officials lie for a long

549
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: time in Los Angeles. I have heard it all. I

550
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: know all your tricks. And the trick here from Hoimimore

551
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: the fire chief is to I think a new some

552
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: word is conflate to confuse people. Criticism of fire management

553
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: is not criticism of firefighters. If the firefighters screw up,

554
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: we'll say so. But this is fire management. And they're

555
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: all covering their ass and all their other sorry body

556
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: parts right now. And we are going to be relentless

557
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: in giving everybody the truth here and God help us

558
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: if Newsom or Bass survive any of this. I have

559
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: never seen two people who deserve to be put out

560
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: to pasture. The two of them ought to be put

561
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: out to prison for what they've done. It's criminal negligence.

562
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: We'll talk more now. Here's an update from the KFI
