1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Well. Earlier today, San Bernardino County officials held a news 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: conference to talk about the plight of people living in 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: the San Bernardino Mountain communities because of all the snow 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: it's fallen in the past week, and of course another 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: fresh round last night. We're talking about people to Lake Arrowhead, 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: Crest Line, Running Springs communities running into problems because they're 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: stranded in their homes. There's so much snow. Some can't 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: even get out the front door. Lake Arrowheads received two 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: and a half feet of snow in the last forty 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: eight hours, and the surrounding area is seen over six 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: feet of snow in the last week. Yeah, some places 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: had nine feet of snow that have piled up since 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: the beginning. We are going to talk now Tim Donnelly, 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: who lives in Twin Peaks, which is just down the 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: road from Lake Arrowhead. Tim, you may remember some years 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: ago frequently on our show. He was a state assemblyman, 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: he ran for governor, and he has spent a lot 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: of time living up in the mountains, and he's going 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: to tell us about his experience here. Tim. You there, Hey, John, 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you guys. Yeah, great to 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: hear from you. Well, what's your personal situation right now? 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: So I'm standing in my office and I can't see 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: out of my front window at all, Like there's ten 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: feet of snow piled up the other window. I can 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: see out a little bit because it's it's on the 26 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: side of a house where the wind didn't flow the 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: snow up against the window. But we've we've had about 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: between seven and nine feet here in Twin Peaks alone. 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Are you frustrated by the response? You know, I didn't 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: even know there was a response until I actually was 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: on Instagram and I saw one of your reporters put 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: up a piece. We don't really have any any organized 33 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: government here, which I like, but right now is desperately needed. 34 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: So there isn't a uniform news outlet that we can 35 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: go to to get information. That's a big problem. And yeah, 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: my road didn't get plowed at all until about an 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: hour ago. Well, who would be your government, Sambardino County supervisor, 38 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: would that be it? Yeah, that's it, that's it. We're 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: unincorporated Sermondino County. And look the guys out there and 40 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: the plows, they're they're going crazy. They're they're doing everything 41 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: they can I've seen them working. There's other guys that 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: have literally gotten so frustrated they walked away from their 43 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: plows because they just couldn't handle the stress anymore. There's 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: no place to put snow. Yeah, I think it's clear 45 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: that San Bernardino is running at one hundred percent capacity. 46 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: So this is something for the state to step in 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: and help. Yes, Yes, And in declaring the state of 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: emergency was a great idea by the county Board of Supervisors. 49 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: But what they got to followed up with is the 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: only way that you remove this kind of snow is 51 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: those those convoys that you saw on your newscast coming 52 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: up here with the food and the gas and all that, 53 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, escorted by HP that needs to be front 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: end loaders and those huge double dump trucks that are 55 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: pulled by a semi where they just clear out an 56 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: entire parking lot and they start loading up snow and 57 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: taking it off the mountain. Because you literally have drifts 58 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: that are fifteen to twenty feet high on the sides 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: of roads. And some people just say that that's life 60 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: up there. But you haven't seen it like this, have 61 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: you never? I've lived here thirty years, and other people 62 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: who lived here on Tuesday said they hadn't seen it 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: this way in forty three years. Once we got to 64 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: nine feet. I don't think we've ever seen anything like this, 65 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: maybe back one hundred years ago. But this is an 66 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: extreme situation. Let me give an example. I dug myself 67 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: out every day. It takes three to four hours every day, 68 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: and I can drive in this stuff. I have a 69 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: a big FJ Cruiser, it's lifted, got big tires, snow tires. 70 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: I can't drive in what's out there right now because 71 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: when the road is not plowed and you have two 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: feet of snow, then your tires. If you stop and 73 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: your momentum stops, you're stuck. And a lot of the 74 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: roads up here are one way roads, so you've got 75 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: a car coming at you head on, and somebody's going 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: to go in the ditch if there is a ditch. 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: But there isn't even a ditch anymore, So is there 78 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: any way to help. There's got to be a lot 79 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: of elderly up there. If you look at Twitter, there's 80 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: reports of people you know, running out of medication, running 81 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: out of food, absolutely immobilized inside their homes for the 82 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: reasons that you described what to do. I mean, what 83 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: can the government do? Let me speak as Tim two citizens. Okay, 84 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: because I used to be in the government for a minute, 85 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I'm back in the private sector. Look, there are a 86 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: lot of people, individuals who are helping other individuals. I 87 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: can give you an example of the grocery store. They're 88 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: staying open at the Stater Brothers up here because Stater 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: Brothers is putting those people up at a hotel because 90 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: they can't get home to their families. So we have 91 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: a food supply. But the problem is, how do you 92 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: get the food from the grocery store out to the 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: people who are snowed in where literally even if they 94 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: dig out their driveway, there's no street. So those are 95 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: the people that need help. How you do that? You 96 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: really have to start, I think with organizing the roads 97 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: and setting up those red lights that you have with 98 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: a one lane bridge when they're doing construction, so that 99 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: you know, if somebody's coming straight at you, there's a 100 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: red light, then you get a green light you go through. 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: If we could get traffic in some semblance of order, 102 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: then people could do the things that they need to 103 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 1: do to help themselves and help their neighbors. Should should 104 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: the state government be be sending every snowplow it possibly 105 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: get it, get its hands on, and all the other 106 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: big trucks that you talked about. I mean, should Newsom 107 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: be taking extreme action here? Maybe the National Guard? Would 108 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: any of that be effective? I think if Newsom got 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: involved and sent the National Guard, that would be a huge, 110 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: massive improvement, because look, they're saying it's going to take 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: ten days. Some of these people don't have ten days. 112 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: You know. In cress Line, they don't have any any power. 113 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: They haven't for a couple of days. We've been fortunate 114 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: where we are. If you run out of power, what 115 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Heat your house with wood? Well? 116 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: What if your woodpiles covered with ten feet of snow? 117 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: You know, and if you go outside and you try 118 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: to walk through that, and you're an elderly person, you 119 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: may not ever make it back inside. So there there's 120 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: life and death situations that people are facing. So I 121 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: would say to Governor Newsom, get off you're fat, you 122 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: know what, and do something because these look, I know 123 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: this is not Ukraine, but I'm sure there's some Ukrainians 124 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: up here. You know. Maybe Biden could send some relief. 125 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll take it from anybody who will 126 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: give it. Let me ask you, since you were on 127 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: the inside of government for a little while, what would 128 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: keep Newsom from doing that, getting the National Guard, getting 129 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: all the heavy equipment in there, and providing all the 130 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: emergency supplies. I mean, he'd only look like the good 131 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: guy if he did this. Who's going to criticize it? Well, 132 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: I think the problem starts with the fact that this 133 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: is a very staunchly conservative district, so that people don't 134 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: have a great relationship with Newsom. You know, politics has been, 135 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of a blood sport lately. 136 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you guys noticed so. But he's not going to 137 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: let wait, wait, wait, he's not going to let them 138 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: die though. No, no, I don't think he knows. You know, 139 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot 140 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: of emergencies. They're flooding all over the state. But if 141 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: Newsom heard this, I would say, dude, here's a great 142 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: chance to be a hero. Come in here, get the 143 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: National Guard, move the red tape out of the way. 144 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: This mountain is closed down. I mean, you can't get 145 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: up here even if you live here. At times, and 146 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: then they were doing escorts and then we had more snow. 147 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: We had snow up until about an hour ago. So 148 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: there's so much of it that it is it is 149 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: making movement impossible. So you've got people who are not 150 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: going to have food, They're going to run out of 151 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: heat when the power goes out there. You know, there's people. 152 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: I know that the law enforcement has gotten a number 153 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: of people who needed oxygen or kidney dialysis, you know, 154 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: out of here. But you know, even even for them 155 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: to get through right now is a major ordeal. They're 156 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: riding around in snow cats. Now, did you say a 157 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: roof collapsed at one of the grocery stores or something. 158 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: So the way we get our information up here is 159 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: through word of mouth, and the word of mouth hits 160 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: the grocery store. My wife, who works there, told me 161 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: that Jensens, which is in Blue Jay and John You've 162 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: got you've got a place up here, still, don't you. 163 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm going to Jensens all the time. Sure. Well, 164 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Jensen's has a big flat roof and it's collapsed before. 165 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: We've had this much snow, but we've never had this much. 166 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: We had five feet once a couple, you know, ten 167 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: years ago, and their roof collapsed. Um, but the Ace 168 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: hardware and Crest line. I heard that their roof collapse. 169 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: So because of that, I had my son Daniel up 170 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: on the roof, twenty five year old, you know, shovel 171 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: off the entire roof. Yeah, I mean it's crazy roof 172 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: collapse or No, that's that's what we've heard. Yeah, that's 173 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: how we're getting our information. People are coming in and 174 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: telling you what's happening. I know there's no there's no 175 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: real news outlet up there, no, but I'll tell you what. 176 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: I asked a gas station clerk which hot which road 177 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: was open to get home, because I had no good choices, 178 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: and he gave me the best choice. And I couldn't 179 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: find that anywhere, not on Caltrans, Twitter, not on HP's 180 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: website or Facebook. So that's we are kind of independent 181 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: up here. We're not used to asking for help. But 182 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: I think right now, you know, people need help, they 183 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: need prayers, but mostly we need dump trucks and bulldozers 184 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: to take the snow away and start, you know, getting 185 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: people bug out. All right, tim, Well, keep us up 186 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: to date. Good luck to you. I hope it works 187 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: out better. Hey, we're doing great. But God speed everybody 188 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: else out there, and thanks for covering this guys. All right. 189 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: That is Tim Donnalley, former state assembly member and of 190 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: course candidate for governor. He lives up in the Arrowhead area, 191 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: Twin Peaks, and of course he's telling us about their 192 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: ordeal with the heavy snows. John and Ken KFIAM six 193 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app All right, Well, if 194 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: you're going through any ordeal up there in the San 195 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: Bernardino Mountain communities, we'll take your calls one eight hundred 196 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: and five to zero, one five, three four. We heard 197 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: from some people earlier who were having their problems getting supplies, 198 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: and of course this had become a more urgent situation 199 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: as we found out. They don't think it's gonna I 200 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: think it's gonna take a week before they can adequately 201 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: plow the roads up there. And you heard Tim donnelly 202 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: describing what it's like trying to drive around somebody coming 203 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: in the direction could present the real problem in terms 204 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: of trying to find access to places I can't even 205 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: fathom nine feet of snow. And then what he was 206 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: talking about is you try to scoop up some of it, right, 207 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: and then you create these these these uh, these berbs 208 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: on the side of the road, right, they pile up 209 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: like that's what happens. Yes, in other places, you can't 210 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: pilot any higher. You have to get kind of remember 211 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: as a kid in Jersey, we'd have big snowstorms and 212 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: like what they would like what they would do with 213 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: shopping mall parking lots. They would they would they would 214 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: push all the snow in the area into a shopping 215 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: mall parking lot, one of those big sprawling ones, right, 216 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: and they would just keep pushing it and pushing it 217 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: and creating this huge snow mountain. Kids would go play 218 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: on that, which would last for months. Yeah, and I 219 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: remember that. I remember only kids are running the parking 220 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: lot and play on the big snow burn. But but 221 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: you needs some open space for that, and they don't. 222 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: There isn't any up there. There isn't. And I said, 223 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: if you could find a ditch, you can't even find ditches, 224 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: right because everything of the road is just so, all 225 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: the sides of the roads all buried in snow, right, 226 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: So they need really heavy equipment. They really need a 227 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: lot of bulldozers and snow plows and dump trucks, and 228 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: I can't think where else you get them except the 229 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: National Guard. You need. You didn't a military response here, 230 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: and the only one who can facilitate that is Gavin Newsom. 231 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he knew about this, Like 232 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: if you were governor, I was a San Bernardino board 233 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: of supervisors, ask for that. That's usually how it works. 234 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: I do declare an emergency, which they did. The next 235 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: thing they do is they ask for state help like that, right, 236 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you heard that woman. What 237 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: was your name? Ro I think her last name was 238 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: the supervisor? And Blake Trolley asked and she goes, wow, 239 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: you know we have contacted the governor's office and they 240 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: are they are accessible, they aren't listening. I say what. 241 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: There was no sense of urgency. No, there was this 242 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: whole idea where you have to go through the procedure 243 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: and make sure everything is lined up and it's available 244 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Wow, and uh, let's go to Pat. 245 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: She just got off the mountain, but her family is 246 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: still there. Pat, what's going on? Hey guys, how are 247 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: you doing today? Oh? Pat? Yes, a mail, go ahead, 248 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm a man. Yeah, not the other pat Yeah, I 249 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: just wanted to comment on one of your previous I 250 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: think it was Donna Lee was up there. He was 251 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: talking about a collapse and it was actually good Ones 252 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: Market which is in Lake Gregory and it's um really 253 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: the only main grocery store in that area, which this 254 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: isn't being talked about, but this is gonna be a 255 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: major issue. The entire route collapsed today and the people 256 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: of that community in Crestlin and Lake greg agree to 257 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: planned on that place for food. They are not able 258 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: to get down the mountains. They're not getting able to 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: get up to Lake Carrowhead. There's going to be a major, 260 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: major issue that's going to occur beyond just getting snow removed, 261 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean getting resources and two to people. The whole 262 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: place is a disaster. I've lived there in my whole life. 263 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: I am three seven years old. I've never seen it 264 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: like this. The county has completely dropped the ball on 265 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: this entire thing. The declaration of this emergency was three 266 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: days too late, but really all it was a semantics 267 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: because nothing has changed, nothing has happened, we haven't seen 268 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: snowplows in days. It's just it's it's really a disaster. 269 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: There are people trapped in homes everywhere in my neighborhood, 270 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: elderly people who can't get out. My in laws live 271 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: in Voe, which is in Crestline area. They are not 272 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: even seen one snowpoll come through this entire series of storms. 273 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: They have five feet in the street. They have enough 274 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: food right now, but they're out of water, thank god, 275 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Out of electricity. Thank god. They have a generator, 276 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't. I live in Lake Arrowhead. 277 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: We're fortunate we still have not lost power or I 278 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: had to come down to work. I'm a firefighter in 279 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: the Atlanta fire, but my kids and my wife are 280 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: still up there dealing with my house right now. And 281 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: it's just I've never seen anything like it before. I'm 282 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: really disappointed in the response of the county. The state 283 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: does need to get involved. It's going to require, you know, 284 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: they got to treat this like a major disaster area. 285 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: They need to bring in resources. They neither canvass the 286 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: communities and find out who needs anything, who needs what. 287 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: There's no there's really seems like no plan or organization 288 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: going at all that at least is getting communicated to 289 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: the community right well, part of the problem is too, 290 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: you just don't have a local government. You just have 291 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: a Sanbardino County supervisor for this region and John Row 292 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: that's your name. You're right, don Roe. She's new to 293 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: our mountain community as far as the supervisor. She just 294 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: took the position recently. But you know, I've seen her 295 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: on the news or whatever once or twice. But aside 296 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: from that, there's no I know, she took a flight 297 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: and helicopter over, but everybody's talked about that, but there's 298 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: no boots on the ground. She should be in the 299 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: SnowCat with the community, with the fire department assessing the damage, 300 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: boots on the ground, really seeing what the community is 301 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: dealing with. But there's nobody doing that, so that the 302 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: story and the message isn't getting sent to the right 303 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: stakeholders who can make decisions to actually come in and 304 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: do something for us. Well, I mean, it's it's not complicated. 305 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: You need lots of heavy equipment to move the snow. 306 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: That's it. In order to bring up supplies to everyone 307 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: or let people out. I mean, I don't I don't 308 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: know what else there is to discuss, And to me, 309 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: the only call is is the governor correct Yeah, that's 310 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: that's it. If we can't even get to assessing damage, 311 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: assessing the homes that have been collapsed, the people that 312 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: need help, who are trapped until you can get access 313 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: to them, and we need heavy equipment. There's not enough 314 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: heavy equipment, not enough heavy equipment operators. They're having fuel 315 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: shortage issues. I've heard equipments breaking down because of getting overworked. 316 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: Just just wasn't enough of it. There wasn't enough plan 317 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: ahead of time to get it done. Pat. Thanks you 318 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: very much for your quick question. You probably were tracking 319 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: the forecast. How much snow did you think was coming 320 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: based on the forecast you saw, I would say we 321 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: were expecting, and you know, you gotta understand, like the 322 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: idea of us getting five or six feet, seven or 323 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: eight feet of snow is really like that's a thirty 324 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: forty years storm. So when those numbers, which was before 325 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: the actual snow started falling, we were seeing these numbers 326 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: stacking up, we had warning. We had noticed there wasn't 327 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: this didn't just come out of nowhere.

But it was forecasted and there should have 330 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: been some planning down ahead of time.

Well, we 343 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: updated you earlier in the show about the nomination of 344 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: Eric Garcetti as ambassador to India. It's only been more 345 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: than a year and a half and that thing is 346 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: still sitting there like a rotting carcass. The other nomination, 347 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: which brings us back to local horrific Los Angeles County politics, 348 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: concerns a man by the name of Phil Washington. He 349 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: used to be the head of Metro in La County, 350 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: the dilapidated and horrific bus and subway system. He's currently 351 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: the CEO of the Denver International Airport. And this is 352 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: another one of these people that through political connections, gets 353 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: appointments to keep going to feed it the public trough. 354 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Now he's nominated by Biden to head the FAA. The FAA. Now, 355 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: when we last saw him here in Los Angeles, he 356 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: was running La Metro, and innovation was to carry all 357 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: the homeless people, drug addicts and schizophrenics in the train 358 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: cars all day, up and down and up and down. 359 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: And never not forget a big proponent of congestion pricing. Yes, 360 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: he's one of these people that wants to tax you 361 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: if you drive your car. This was the idea about 362 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: certain neighborhoods would have higher prices to enter during peak hours. 363 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: Remember my neighborhood. If I backed out of my driveway 364 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: and started driving, because my neighborhood's in a congestion zone, 365 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: I would get taxed just for leaving my house. But 366 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: this guy turned the La Metro system into this huge, rolling, 367 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: insane asylum filled with crazed homeless people who sexually attack women, 368 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: who stab each other whole like passengers on fire, and 369 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: then at the end of the day they finally kick 370 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: them off and dump them all at the end of 371 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: a line like in Long Beach. They just like dozen 372 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: and dozens of homeless at at one o'clock in the morning. 373 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: So the Senate Commerce Committee is looking at this nomination. 374 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: It's also been stalled for quite a while. Ted Cruz, 375 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: the Senator from Texas, raise some reservations. Here's some audio. 376 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: The fa needs a Senate confirmed leader with decades of 377 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: experience in aviation to make certain that the flying public 378 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: is safe the agency's primary obligation. This obligation is so 379 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: important that Congress mandated that the FAA administrator must quote 380 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: have experience in a field directly related to aviation. The 381 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: nominee before US Phil Washington, had a long and honorable 382 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: career in the military, but he does not have any 383 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: experience in aviation safety. This quite simply is a position 384 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: he is not qualified for. I'm disappointed that the administration 385 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: has chosen to treat a critical safety position a position 386 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: keeping our families safe. They've chosen to treat it as 387 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: a patronage job. As a result of the White House 388 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: playing politics with the flying public. Safety the fa has 389 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: lacked a Senate confirmed leader for a year now. He 390 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: has never flung a plane, he's never been a pilot. 391 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: Most of that usually who runs the FAA or they 392 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: usually to come from the airline kind of industry. Yeah, 393 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: usually it's it's people, not all of them, but most 394 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: of them have flown an airplane, which seems to me 395 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: should be a requirement for understanding airline safety. That it's 396 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: the FAA's major job. Secondly, his La Metro service, excuse me, 397 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: was an absolute disaster, complete disaster. There's no way to 398 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: sugarcoat this, Noah. And on top of that, he was 399 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: involved in the scandal with Sheila cule and her friend 400 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: and that phony, bloony sexual harassment hot line. He was 401 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: signing off on the contracts to a rich enrich Kule's 402 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: friend hundreds of thousands of dollars to run a sexual 403 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: harassment hot line that nobody ever called. Remember that story 404 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: which is disappeared. That's because it went to the Attorney 405 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: General California, who's petured. Right, that's right, because the democratic 406 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: left wing attorney general is covering up the investigation of 407 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: the democratic left wing former county supervisor Sheila cull and 408 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: when you have one party rule, you're not going to 409 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: get any truth. But who was in the middle of 410 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: that scandal was this guy Phil Washington who knew that 411 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: there was something that would run amuck. Yeah, because the 412 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: woman that was the whistleblowers says that he just told 413 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: her to pay it because you know, it's a friend 414 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: to Sheila Culls or whatever. And he wanted to say 415 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: in this call, it's the hotlines I get calls. He's corrupt, 416 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: he's incompetent. I mean, if you were running La Metro, 417 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: would you let the train car be filled with every maniac, 418 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: every schizophrenic, every drug addict to ride all day long 419 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: and scare all the normal people off? Would you do that? No, 420 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: you wouldn't do that, but he did. Now I hope 421 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: they shell this nomination. Like Garcetti, He's going to be 422 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: in charge of my airline safety. I gotta hope Phil 423 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: Washington understands how planes work when I'm when I'm thirty 424 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: five thousand feet up in the air. That's what Ted 425 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: Cruz was saying. Some jobs should not be political patronage. 426 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: They should not be just rewarding people who supported your 427 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,239 Speaker 1: Candida to see the head of the FAA is more 428 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: important than you do that Ambassador to India. You get 429 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: some retread hack like Garcetti. Yeah, that's what's a safer position. 430 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: That's not going to cause a lot of harm. I mean, 431 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: who cares who's Ambassador India because all they do is 432 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: host cocktail parties. GARCETI would be good at that, Yeah 433 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: he would. No, he's perfect. He's a perfect combassador. Bad 434 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: dress up and walk around with a cocktail empty can, 435 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: an empty can, johny Can Cafe. I Am six forty. 436 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere the iheartre radio app. We're on live 437 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: from one until four after four o'clock. He had go 438 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: to the iHeartRadio app. We're on the podcast. You can 439 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: hear that twenty four hours a day, John and Ken 440 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: on demand. It's called no excuse not to listen, So 441 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: do that if you need to. Man was taken into 442 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: custody today at an airport in Florida who was trying 443 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: to get on an Allegiant Air flight and he had 444 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: an explosive device hidden in the lining of his check bag. Boy, 445 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: this brings back old memories, doesn't it. His name is 446 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: Mark Muffy from Lansford, Pennsylvania. He was about to get 447 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: it on an Allegiant air flight from eastern Pennsylvania to Sanford, Florida, 448 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: but the bag did trigger an alarm before being loaded 449 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: onto the plane. They found a circular compound hidden in 450 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: the lining of the baggage. He was paged over the 451 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: airport's security system or public addresses to become the security desk. 452 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: In minutes later, they showed him leaving the airport, but 453 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: they caught up with them and arrested him. Kind of weird. Huh, Yeah, 454 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm glad that the detection device worked, right, Markmfie, Please 455 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: report to the allegiate desk your your bomb now. Your 456 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: bomb has been found. Your bomb has been found. Now. 457 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: The other story we got to finish with here is 458 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: the sad truth about being a taxpayer. Sometimes you're on 459 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: the hulk even though you didn't do anything. La County 460 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: has agreed to pay the family of Kobe Bryant nearly 461 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: twenty nine million dollars. And this is because of the 462 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: photos that were taken by several La County Sheriff's deputies. 463 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: This a little excessive. Well, the jury, the jury awarded 464 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: fifteen million. I guess the rest is what lawyers fees. 465 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I mean, is there no 466 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: end to this? They're adding to the fifteen million the 467 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: jury already awarded. They added extra money to settle potential 468 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: claims for her daughters, so that fifteen million Chess was 469 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: for her and then three of her daughters. Yet it's 470 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: over fifty one million and attorney's fees, cost, verdicts and settlements. Oh, 471 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: let's pay to all the families of this. It was 472 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: not just the Brian family that sued too. Yeah, but 473 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, wow, um, what did we do well? I 474 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: mean this, this, this was a horrible thing for the 475 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: family members to go through. There's there's no question. But 476 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: but fifty million dollars of tax money that we have 477 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: to pay when we had nothing to do with this. 478 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I I don't I don't understand 479 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: why the sheriff's deputies aren't held one responsible. And whatever 480 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: you can liquidate from them, you liquidate. But what what 481 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: is it? What does it tell them? I don't care. 482 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: But I mean, if some dumb clock doesn't know any 483 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: better than to pass around photos of chopped the bodies, 484 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do? It should come from 485 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: the cops. Pensions. Yeah, yeah, take it. Take it from 486 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: the Sheriff's union, because the theory here is, well, now 487 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: you're going to make sure nobody ever does anything like 488 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: this in the future, because because what because taxpayers thirty 489 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: million dollars now, it doesn't come down on the deputies. 490 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: It's not going to stop these things from happening in 491 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: the future. Of course it'll happen in the future. I 492 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: just they believe now that they have resolved all of 493 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: the issues involving any claims you're right by the Bryant 494 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: children and other costs. Fifty million dollars usually resolves anything. 495 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I would hope. So. I know Vanessa Bryant 496 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: was very upset over this, but wow. Yeah, and I 497 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: understand why this is. This is not a knock on 498 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: anybody in these families, but man, I just I just 499 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: think that the perpetrators ought to be punished properly. I mean, 500 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: you could you throw these guys in jail, you know, 501 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: sell their houses and cars. And this doesn't assure that 502 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: the photos aren't going to appear somewhere someday. They're out there. 503 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm the problem because the sheriff and A. Wavis says 504 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: he had them delete them from their phones, but nobody 505 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: you know how many how many times those are forwarded. 506 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: It was apparently already ones went to a bar and 507 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: started showing everybody, Yeah, look what I got. This is 508 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: just amazing what boneheads live amongst us. No, I know, 509 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: And that's the problem. It's it's tough enough that we 510 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: have people that work for the government. Then they're often 511 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: lazy and incompetent. But now on top of this, we're 512 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: responsible for their actions financially. Human being sucked. They really suck. 513 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: I mean, look, look what's happening today. You think the governor, 514 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: he's got to be aware what's going on in the mountains. 515 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: There should already be a convoy of National guardsmen and 516 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: all the heavy equipment that's necessary, all the bulldozers, the snowplows, 517 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: the dump trucks, what you know, I don't even know 518 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: what to call all the trucks and the mechanical devices 519 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: that you need for something like this. I'm not oriented 520 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: that way, but you know, I know when I see it, 521 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: and you know they're sitting in warehouses somewhere, and you 522 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: know they got to have this stuff in another counter, 523 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Like we said, yeah, up in taw they've been blasted 524 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: with even more snow than this, but they've already figured 525 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: out a way to plow through to get the ski 526 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: resorts open. There should be a caravan coming in from 527 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: the Rocky Mountain States. How about the National Guard? You know, 528 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: Biden should be aware of this and send whatever female 529 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: assistance here. I think the real problem is they don't 530 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: have any local government and there's nobody screaming for them 531 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: except one supervisor who you know, and she looked completely 532 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: defeated this morning. Don Rowe, Don Row, Uh Conway's here, Hey, now, hey, now, yes, 533 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 1: we talked about that last night on the show. And uh, 534 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, there could be an airlift. You can airlift 535 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: equipment and supplies into Big Bear. It's very it's a 536 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: very simple flight from any of the airports here in 537 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: La Yeah, I would think, But then they have to 538 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: get to the Big Bear supplies where you're dropping, right, 539 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: But you could you could airlift tractors and big heavy 540 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: equipment up there and and and wipe those roads out 541 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: in two days if I was in charge of it. 542 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: Two days. See, every normal person knows what has to 543 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: be done. The problem is, though, that there's so much 544 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: snow there's nowhere to put it. Yeah, I know, because 545 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: you can't pile into somebody's yard because then they can't 546 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: get out. So there's nowhere to really put all this crap. 547 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a mess up there. And and I 548 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: was listening to you guys, I can't believe that. Well 549 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: I can't because you guys said it. But another seven 550 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: to ten days with a lot of those roads are 551 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: still gonna be there's got people are gonna run out 552 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: of food, about medicine, thousands, thousands, and I think I 553 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: forgot maybe Tim Donnelly said this. You have an elderly 554 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: person leave the house, they fall, they'll freeze to death. 555 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, they won't be found until May. 556 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: There are a bunch of cars that are along the 557 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: highway and they're not sure that there's nobody in and 558 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: all those cars. It's a mess. It's it's a catastrophe 559 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: going on up there. And it's and it's the silent one. 560 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: Nobody nobody is uh you know, as you guys said, 561 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: there's nobody representing them. No, no, there's nobody nobody. I 562 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: get it's a weird situation. I mean, I don't know 563 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 1: how you get those that cruety help. Also somebody National 564 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: Park is closed just because of fifteen feet of snow. 565 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: It's pretty big. And Tesla is going to build a 566 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: new factory in northern Mexico, so that'll be right next door. 567 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: And Jet Blue and your closure with lear Jet.
