And now 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: I find out that ten percent of the flights are 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: being canceled, right because they are not enough air traffic controllers. 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: Correct. 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: Okay, so now this matters even more because it's affecting you, 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: it's affecting me. So now I have a stake inness 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: I'm not not sitting in some Ivory Tower looking down. 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: Well, you're not going to ruin our weekend. 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what you said. 25 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: That's right. 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: Okay, So what are you. 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 3: Gonna do about that? 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: Somebody, somebody, somebody tell the people in Washington and the 29 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: White House that don't don't screw with my weekend? 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: Are you going to pay the air traffic controllers at 31 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: the different I did? 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: We're all taxed. 33 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: The money has been taken from us and is sitting 34 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: there in Washington. By shutting down the government, they're just 35 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: not spending the money that they have. It hasn't been 36 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: officially appropriated. See this is this is what's weird about this. 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: It's not like they're broke that they literally have no money. 38 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: The money is piling up in whatever accounts the government 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: has as the taxes come out out of our check 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: and it's you know, they're getting interest on all this 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: tax money sitting in these accounts. They're making more money. 42 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: It's just not been appropriated. You'd probably have heard what 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: the issue is. You came to the end of the 44 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: budget year and they had an extension for seven weeks 45 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: to continue things as they are. You may have heard 46 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 2: of this clean cr What does that mean? 47 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: Well, A CR is. 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: A continuing resolution. It means both sides agree to keep 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: spending money at the same rate until they make a deal. 50 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: So fiscal year ended on September thirtieth, they wanted to 51 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: spend another seven weeks hashing out the new deal. A 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: clean CR means nobody adds any more taxes, nobody adds 53 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: any more spending. The Republicans voted for it passed in 54 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: the House. It didn't pass in the Senate because you 55 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: need sixty votes in the Senate to defeat a filibuster. 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: And the Democrats decided to filibuster. 57 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: And they. 58 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: Have forty eight Democrats or people who vote with the Democrats. 59 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: Three of them have defected, So now the vote is 60 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: fifty five forty five. 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: To open the government. That's not enough. You need sixty. 62 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: You can do two things here. You can try to 63 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: find a way to bribe five more Democrats. I guess 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: they're cajole them. Or you can get rid of the filibuster. 65 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: But the Republicans want to hold on to it because 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: they want to use it when the Democrats take over. 67 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: None of them care about what's going on out here. 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: Don't be fooled. So yes, it is the Democrat's fault. 69 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 2: They want changes, they don't want to just another two 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: months of the same old thing. There are these Obamacare subsidies, 71 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: tax credits, they'll pay for your Obamacare premium. Those were 72 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: implemented during COVID. It was supposed to be a COVID 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: only subsidy because people were struggling, they weren't working, and 74 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: of course nothing's ever temporary when it comes to taxes 75 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: and spending. They want to make it permanent or at 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: least extended. Republicans say no, let's go back and negotiate this. 77 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: They were the Democrats wrote that into the bill back 78 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: in I don't know one it's that there is going 79 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: to be an end to these subsidies. And now it's 80 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: come to the end, all right. That that that that's 81 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: the logjam here. By the way, the fact that they 82 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: have to pay these increasing subsidies to people, these tax credits, 83 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: shows you that Obamacare has not lowered people's health care costs. 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: But that's a different issue. Looks like that was another scam, 85 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: but a surprise. But now we come to this where 86 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: things that we need are not going to function. We're, uh, 87 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: what two and a half weeks from Thanksgiving, is it 88 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: three weeks from Thanksgiving weekend? I'm terrible with the calendar. 89 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: Three weeks Thanksgiving weekend. But more importantly, we got a 90 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: family wedding this weekend. We all have to get around. 91 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: My kids live all over the country. 92 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: Well, maybe one of you will get there in time. 93 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: Well it's probably not going to be me. Called Trump. 94 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Aren't you a therapist? 95 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you know something. Maybe we ought to call 96 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: Trump and he's got to end this. He's got to 97 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: end this for me. I need it ended this weekend. 98 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: I don't want to be a hung up at an 99 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: airport all day Friday and then all day Sunday for 100 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: the return trip. 101 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: It's it's ridiculous. 102 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: The money's there, the air traffic controllers are willing to work. 103 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: What they should do is have they should have funded 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: air traffic controllers. I'm not so concerned with people getting 105 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: food stamps because I think probably half the people on 106 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: food stamp that's fraudulent. And I don't really understand how 107 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 2: you end up living for I don't know, thirty forty 108 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: fifty years and you haven't figured out to pay for 109 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 2: your food. 110 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: I find that ridiculous. 111 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: I don't understand people who have a bunch of kids 112 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: and can't pay for their food. I'm always in the 113 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: camp of I don't know why I have to pay 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: for everybody else's problems, people who are elderly, people who 115 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: are sick, people who are disabled in some serious way. 116 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: Of course you help them out, but everybody knows that. 117 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: I mean, we got five and a half million people 118 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: in California on food stamps. 119 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Five and a half million. 120 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: That's one out of every seven people go walk the streets. 121 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: One out of. 122 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 2: Seven people are in food stamps. How is everybody on 123 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: food stamps and everybody going hungry? When obesities that that 124 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: of thirty seven percent rate, and that's down three percent 125 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: because of the ozempic drugs. This is any we've been 126 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: getting away From my point though, is the president maybe 127 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: they should blow up the filibuster. I never understood that 128 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: it should. It should take majority votes wins. I don't 129 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: I don't understand why in a lot of cases you 130 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: need sixty Well, no fifty to fifty one will do. 131 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: When you have sixty, then you end up with stupid 132 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: situations like this. Everybody's willing to work, the money is 133 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: sitting there. Everybody needs to fly around big Thanksgiving weekend 134 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: coming at the very least. Fund the air traffic controllers. 135 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: We're way short anyway. Now they're calling in, basically going 136 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: on strike. They have to take second jobs because other 137 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: jobs actually pay. You get paychecks when you work in 138 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: other places. You've worked for the government. As an air 139 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: traffic controller, you don't get a paycheck. I don't expect 140 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: them to show up. I don't blame them for calling 141 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: in sick or calling in busy. They should do that. 142 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 2: That's the only leverage they have. But this is the crowd. 143 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: I don't understand this entire issue. They had all year 144 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: to work this out. The fiscal year ended on September thirtieth. 145 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: They do a budget one year at a time. You 146 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: had twelve months to work this out. These people are failures, 147 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 2: both parties in Washington, failures the way we have nothing 148 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: but failures in this state in this city, Like the 149 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: way the fire department failed us, And I'm going to 150 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: get to that later. 151 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: There's new revelations on that. 152 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: Apparently the police department failed us during the Palisades fire 153 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: as well, and the county fire department failed in the 154 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 2: in the Altadena fire. So I have a lot of 155 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: stories here about the failure locally, but this is a 156 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: failure nationally. This is a failure in the true administration. 157 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: This is a failure of the Republicans and especially the Democrats. 158 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 2: People shouldn't have their lives all scrambled up this weekend 159 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: or any day of the year. The money's there, the 160 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: guys are willing to work. Let's go fund it and 161 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: end this stupidity. I wish people change the way they vote, 162 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: because as long as you keep voting for the same 163 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: and I wish both parties would rotten hell. 164 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: They're just awful. Nobody cares about your life. 165 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: Nobody never ever ever give in to the temptation that 166 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: your party cares about your life. 167 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: They don't talk more. 168 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: We come back about the new report, saying, oh, the 169 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: police waited in and they said they were all confused 170 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: when the Palisades fire occurred. 171 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: The police department was confused. 172 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI am 173 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: six forty. 174 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: Well have they have they ended the shutdown yet? I 175 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: made a request, what about ten minutes ago? 176 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: Nothing? 177 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: Sorry, John, Nope, it's been ten minutes. 178 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: Now, just fund the traffic controllers. At the least I've heard. 179 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 3: I've heard reports, nothing definitive that possibly maybe next week, but. 180 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: That won't happened. No, No, it's too late, too late. 181 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: Wedding's this weekend. 182 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: I know, you know, you may get lucky. It's only 183 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: forty airports. 184 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't vote for people not to pay 185 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: air traffic controllers. That wasn't in anybody's campaign plan here. 186 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: I don't remember seeing any TV commercials. 187 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Vote for me. 188 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: I'll stop paying the air traffic controllers for Thanksgiving weekend. 189 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: You bozos get to work nothing but bozos in office. 190 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 3: Give your salaries to the air traffic controllers. 191 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like your idea. Yes, yeah, they shouldn't get 192 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: paid the card. 193 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 3: Why didn't you like? Eric suggested, call Trump and tell 194 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 3: him and tell him what we just decided. 195 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, call Trump tell him that. I said 196 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: to you, I'm busy, I'm doing a show. 197 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: Well am I. 198 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: All right? 199 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 2: Here's the LAPD well add them to the list of 200 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: failed entities during the fire. 201 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: They released a report. 202 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: Just on Tuesday, ninety two pages, and they presented it 203 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: to the Police Commission the Oversight Panel at their public 204 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: meeting yesterday, and the LAPD said during the fire they 205 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: suffered from communications breakdowns, inconsistent record keeping, and poor coordination 206 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: with other agents, most notably the fire department. Oh so 207 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: the police department was communicating poorly with the fire department. 208 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: You know, I am so far they s everybody fit 209 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: up with this. I'm sick of everyone's excuses. It's like 210 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: with the shutdown coverage thing. Well, you know, the Democrats 211 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: want this and the Republicans are not that. You know, 212 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: I don't care about your problems anymore. Go pay the 213 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: traffic controllers. I don't care about your jockeying for position. 214 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: I don't care who started it. I don't care about 215 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 2: any of this stuff. I don't care about your agreements. 216 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: And well, you know what, but no, you fund the 217 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: traffic controllers here. You're a police department. How do you 218 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: not have the most modern communication system and apparently they 219 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 2: have cell tower problems. Well, during disasters, you're gonna have 220 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: cell tower problems. I don't understand. You don't have a 221 00:12:51,160 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: workaround for that. Listen to this crazy admission. The department 222 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 2: was the lead agency, but coordination with the police Department 223 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: was poor. On January seventh, first day at a fire, 224 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 2: both the personnel from both agencies were working out of 225 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: the same command post, but they failed to collectively establish 226 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 2: a unified command structure or identify shared objectives, missions or strategies. 227 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: They were standing next to each other at the same 228 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: command post. I don't know if that's indoors or outdoors, 229 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: but they're standing next to each other, and they didn't 230 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 2: have the same mission, the same strategy, the same objective. 231 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't understand. There's no excuse for this. 232 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: Doesn't one guy just turn and talk to the next guy, 233 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 2: like he got somebody in charge of the police command, 234 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: somebody in the fire command. It's like, Okay, here's what 235 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: we're gonna do. You do this, I'll do that. 236 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: What are we are they poor communications? 237 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: What are they all deaf? You can't hear the guy 238 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: standing next to you. He's not speaking English to you. 239 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: What does that mean? How could you have two people 240 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: or two departments at the same place at the same 241 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: time and they're not communicating. And this is presented as 242 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: an excuse, And they even got compliments from some of 243 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: these commissioners. Rasha Gergez Shields, come this, Hi, I don't 244 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: know what that is. Overall, she was impressed an officer 245 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: should be commended for their courage. They didn't know who 246 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: was in charge. They said, this is the police department's 247 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: own report. Uncertainty about who is in charge with another 248 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: persistent issue. And it got more confused when National Guard 249 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: troops were showed up. 250 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: Excuse me a. 251 00:14:53,200 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: Second, Okay, no, Then they blamed it on a once 252 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: in a lifetime wildfire of unprecedented scale. 253 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: Oh. 254 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,359 Speaker 2: In fact, I saw the La Times did some summaries 255 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: of these stories about all the things that didn't work, 256 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: and every one of the stories puts in a little 257 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: prayer about climate change. Oh, we had a storm driven 258 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: by climate No, it was not climate change. It was 259 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: an arsonist. And then the fire department failed to stay 260 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: at the hotspot and put the hotspot completely out. Then 261 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 2: the winds, which were normal for Santa Ana wins happened 262 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: many times before, blew real hard and kicked up the hotspot. 263 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: Climate change had zero role in this. It's just something 264 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: that failed politicians and failed agency leaders hide behind. This 265 00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: is what failed fire department managers and failed police police 266 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: managers high behind, along with the mayor and the governor 267 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: and everybody else. Climate change had nothing to do with this. 268 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: Arsonists followed by massive incompetence. The report found that officials 269 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: failed to maintain a chronological log about the comings and 270 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: goings of the personnel. 271 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: All right, we got to take a break. 272 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 273 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: six forty. 274 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock 275 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: and then after four o'clock John Cobelt. 276 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Show on demand on the iHeart app. And we just 277 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: told you that. 278 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: The La Police Department released a report yesterday at a 279 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: public meeting that said they were all they bungled their response. 280 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: They said communication with the fire department was poor. Just 281 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: went through this, which is shocking considering that fire department 282 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: and police personnel were both both working out of the 283 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: same command post on fire day. This comes just a 284 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: few days after the La Times had a lengthy story 285 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: on the Altadena fire, also known as the Eaton Fire. 286 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 2: This is the one started by SoCal Edison, not climate change. 287 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: So do we have this straight? 288 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: It was the arsonists started the Palisades fire, and then 289 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: the LA Fire Department abandoned the hotspot and that's what 290 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 2: burned Palisades down. And then in ALTADENI had the county 291 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 2: Fire Department and it looks like there was a number 292 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: of firefighters for La County told the incident commanders that 293 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 2: they should evacuate the rest of the nearby foothill communities 294 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: West Altadena into Lakeaannata, Flintridge. East Altadena was evacuated. Firefighters 295 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: said West Altadena needs to go, but the residents were 296 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: never told they were not under an evacuation warning. In fact, 297 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: after the firefighters noticed that West Altadena residents were still 298 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: in place and sleeping, it was the middle of the night. 299 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: It took another three hours and longer before officials issued 300 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: mandatory orders for West Altadena. Eighteen of the nine people 301 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: eighteen of the nineteen people who died in that fire 302 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: were found in this section of Altadena. So understand this 303 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: that West Altadena at first didn't get any evacuation orders. 304 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: East Altadena did, and then when on the ground firefighter 305 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: said hey, we need to evacuate this section, it took 306 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: three hours and more and it was too late, and 307 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: eighteen people died who shouldn't have died. 308 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: Now it looks like. 309 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: The La County Fire Chief Anthony Moron is playing the 310 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: same game that Karen Bass does and everybody in the 311 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: city government. When he was asked to be interviewed for 312 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: the story on the three hour gap, Maron. 313 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: Declined to be interviewed. 314 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: A spokeshole coughed up some gibberish, some goo that said, 315 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 2: Morone is committed to ensuring the department continues to improve 316 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: for future fires. Oh, let's look to the future fires. 317 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: Enough free hashing this old fire. Here's the overall question. 318 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: Why is everybody so bad at what they do in government? 319 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: These are supposed to be the good guys. In both cases, 320 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: whether it was the Palisades fire or the Altadena fire, 321 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: you had firefighters on the ground in Palisades saying, hey, 322 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 2: we have a hot hotspot here, we should stay and 323 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: put it out. 324 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: In Altadena it's. 325 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 2: Like, hey, we haven't given any evacuation warnings to West Altadena. 326 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: In both cases, management didn't do anything about it or 327 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 2: they overruled the firefighters. 328 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: Now, why is this? 329 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: Why is the management so bad right throughout the La 330 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: Fire Department?
