I 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: was going to set this up for long. Sorry, all right, 29 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: let's just say it again. 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, people tune in and out all 31 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: the time. 32 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a good warm up. You're particularly 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: wired up today, I don't. I know. I'm going to 34 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: move now. 35 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: One thing I really can't stand is when there is 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: an act of government stupidity and the story breaks on 37 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: a Friday afternoon, Friday evening or right before holiday weekend, 38 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: and the people breaking the story hope he gets buried right. 39 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: And then in this case, oh, I don't know, it 40 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: was like a lot of people took Wednesday off right. 41 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: So it's been five days. I don't let anything get away. No, 42 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: you don't, No, I don't. And the constant follow ups. 43 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: I'm like a dog, you know, it finds a bone. 44 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep digging and digging and digging. 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 3: We depend on you, that's right. 46 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: And this one, this one makes me crazy. How long 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: do you think we've had a nine to one to 48 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: one system in America? The first one, first one was 49 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: in Alabama, of all places, in nineteen sixty eight, Haileyville, Alabama, 50 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: February sixteenth, nineteen sixty eight. In California, we have had 51 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: nine one one systems for over fifty years. 52 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: And we've had the. 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: Same statewide nine one one system ever since they've built it, 54 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: So it's over fifty years. In twenty nineteen, first week, 55 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: first week that old slickhead became governor, he he said, 56 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: we've we've got to we've got to build a new 57 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: nine to one one system. Okay, got you got to 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: get with the more modern technology. Since then, that is 59 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: that is, believe it or not, seven years of work, 60 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: seven years of work, four hundred and fifty million dollars 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: your tax money for the new modernized nine to one 62 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: one system. Guess what happened when they turned it on. 63 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: Didn't work, and they tried fixing it, tinkering with it, 64 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: doesn't work, doesn't work, They're going to have to scrap 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: the whole system. Four hundred and fifty million dollars, nearly 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: a half a billion down down the toilet shoot in 67 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: the garbage because they botched it all up. To get 68 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: an overall view of this, We're going to play this 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: report from ABC ten Sacramento. The reporter Becca Habiger. 70 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: Now on an emergency, what are your putting. 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: Throughout the state? California has about four hundred and fifty 72 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: emergency dispatch center is also known as Public Safety Answering 73 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: Points or peace apps. California's overall system what connects all 74 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 4: these emergency services is more than fifty years old. That's why, 75 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 4: in his first week as governor in twenty nineteen, Gavin 76 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 4: Newsom vowed to modernize what he called the state's antiquated 77 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: nine to one one system. Cal Oees led the charge, 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 4: choosing a unique regional approach with multiple vendors so an 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 4: outage in one area wouldn't become an outage statewide. From 80 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four, cal Oes says the 81 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 4: state paid more than four hundred and fifty million dollars 82 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: upgrading to what it calls next Generation nine one one, 83 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: but earlier this year cal Os paused the plan. A 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: newly released cal Os report sheds light on what happened. 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: The good news system upgrades are in place at every 86 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: dispatch center statewide, it says, allowing dispatchers to better pinpoint 87 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: a caller's location and receive text to nine to one one. However, 88 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: only twenty three of the peace apps have begun the 89 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: migration for voice calls, and those twenty three centers ran 90 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 4: into significant operational disruptions. The report says cal OS found 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 4: dispatchers had to handle incoming calls from both the old 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: and new systems well transitioning over which is a time 93 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: consuming and risky process during emergencies. It found the regional 94 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: system creates interdependencies, delaying issue resolution, so cal OS paused 95 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 4: the rollout and is scrapping the regional plan in favor 96 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 4: of a statewide approach. They'll seek just two contractors in 97 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: a process starting early next year, which means more money 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 4: and more time. 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: How long have we been paying for the next gen system? 100 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 5: I believe it was in the twenty nineteen twenty twenty budget, 101 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 5: and that includes the installation of the infrastructure across the 102 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 5: four hundred and forty seven piece apps. 103 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: And how long did we say then it was going 104 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: to take. 105 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 5: The Last time we were before this body, we assumed 106 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,679 Speaker 5: that we would be completed by the end of this share. 107 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 4: The new cal OS report says it now plans to 108 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 4: complete the transition to statewide Next Generation nine one one 109 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 4: by twenty thirty through a twenty thirty doesn't give a 110 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 4: cost estimate, but the Sacramento Be talked with the chief 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 4: operating officer of one of the vendors paid by the 112 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 4: state to build the now scrapped regional design, who said 113 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 4: the change will cost taxpayers even more money, estimating hundreds 114 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 4: of millions more. The cal OS report says the expenditures 115 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 4: between twenty nineteen and fall twenty twenty five for Next 116 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 4: Generation nine one one in California were substantial, but not lost. 117 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 4: The intent will be to build upon a large component 118 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: of the infrastructure that already exists. I reached out to 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 4: cal OS and the Governor's office today for comment. A 120 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 4: cal OS did knock it backs me in my deadline, 121 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 4: and the Governor's office directed me to cal OS. 122 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: Classic so newsom in this agency blew four hundred and 123 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: fifty billion dollars.

I was 229 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: kind of hoping nobody had brought anything up. But we'll 230 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: we'll see what it is tomorrow. One of our favorites 231 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: is Genie, you know, the uh general manager, the head 232 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: of the DWP. She's the one who makes seven hundred 233 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars a year and did not fill 234 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: the reservoir for a year and it was needed for 235 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: the Palisades fire. Well, guess what, there's another scandal in 236 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 2: her office. She has an executive assistant named Rennette Anderson. 237 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: And Rennette Anderson apparently was forcing her forcing her staffers 238 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: to run personal errands for her. All right, so Cononia 239 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: is busy not filling up the reservoir, taking in a 240 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars salary, her executive assistant 241 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 2: makes other people buy tickets to things like a Snoop 242 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: Dogg concert. She would ask them to book a plane 243 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 2: ticket for her personal travel, make physical therapy appointments for her, 244 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: buy party supplies for a party at her home, not 245 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: a work party, and make a service appointment at a 246 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: Mercedes Benz dealership because she's making a lot of money too. 247 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: This is the according to the Enforcement Director Kenneth Hardy. Apparently, 248 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: Renette Anderson would boss around two other employees, Brian Johnson 249 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: and Jane Regattas, and all the employees used city resources 250 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: to fulfill the requests, so we were paying for Rennette 251 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: Anderson's good time. According to this report, she has been 252 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: accused by the Enforcement director seven counts of misusing her 253 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: city position to create a personal benefit for herself. Now, 254 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: this is not like a crime, This is an ethics violation, 255 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: and each count comes with a potential five thousand dollars fine. 256 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: And Rennette Anderson serves as director of the Equal Employment 257 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: Opportunity Services. So this is one of these DEI jobs, 258 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: and she's decided to monetize her position. You know how 259 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: much she gets? What do you think a regular pay is? 260 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: What do you think a regular pay is for. 261 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Being an executive assistant in charge of all the DEI stuff? 262 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: To seventy five? 263 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: Yep? 264 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: Well, well no, it's much more than that when you 265 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: add up the benefits. The base salary is two hundred 266 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: and thirty two thousand, Then there's something called other pay, 267 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: which is fifteen thousand. Then there's all the benefits, healthcare, 268 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: pension benefits. God knows what total pay and benefit packages 269 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: for Renette Anderson three hundred seventy two thousand dollars. 270 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: What does she do? 271 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: She is an executive assistant to Genie Kinoniez. 272 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: But she's an assistant, but she has people doing everything 273 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: for her. So what does she do to get that salary? 274 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: Well, she bosses around these other people to take care 275 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: of her private business. 276 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: She wanted to go. 277 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: She snooped dogg, wanted a plane ticket to fly somewhere. 278 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: She wanted physical therapy appointments and party supplies, and she 279 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: needed her Mercedes Bend, Mercedes Benz fixed Mercedes Bend.

Fraud was everywhere, you know, 336 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: here in California, over thirty billion dollars was stolen by 337 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 2: fraudsters around the world because Gavin Newsom just shoveled the 338 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: money out and it didn't care if our tax money 339 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: was stolen. Tim Walt didn't care if the tax money 340 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 2: was stolen. And then Katie Grimes over the California Globe 341 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: actually had a Thanksgiving remembrance story which made me nostalgic. 342 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: Actually it made you'll you'll probably remember this. Do you 343 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: remember the Thanksgiving of twenty twenty, I don't. That's when 344 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: Governor Newsom locked up ninety four percent of the people 345 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 2: in the state put him in. Remember the colored tiars 346 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: had to look on a map and what tier was 347 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: your county in. That's right, So ninety four percent of 348 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 2: us were in the most restrictive tiers. And he issued 349 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 2: a set of rules. And you may have blocked all 350 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 2: this out. I have, or you may think I'm kidding, 351 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: but this is all true. He did this with the 352 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: Health and Human Services Secretary, doctor Mark Gaily. And if 353 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: you remember that guy, he was like, had the big, 354 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: oversized bald, shiny head and ears and he looked like 355 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: a martian from a nineteen sixties children's cartoon. He did mean, 356 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 2: you wouldn't be laughing if it wasn't true. 357 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: So doctor Mark Gaily issued these orders. We were all 358 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: to stay home. 359 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: No singing, oh God, no shouting, well that's not Thanksgiving dinner, 360 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: no shouting, no music because. 361 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: I remember I heard that and I didn't understand why. 362 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: And then they had to explain, well, if you play music, 363 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 2: then people are going to start singing. Right, it's like, oh, 364 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: I get it now, no parties. You have to eat 365 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: outside and keep a mask on while you're eating outside 366 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: in silence. 367 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: Wasn't that where bites and zips came from? 368 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. This was an official order from this blockhead. 369 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: Now this was at the same time what happened in conjunction. 370 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: He was found at the French laundry, you see. And 371 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: when he got caught, he claimed that NAPA was in 372 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: the less restrictive Orange tier. 373 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 3: I can't believe we lived through all that. 374 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: And we allowed him to stay on as governor for 375 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: another five years. Then he claimed he was caught off guard. Well, 376 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: I accidentally ran into this party. It was with healthcare lobbyists, 377 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: by the way. And then he claimed the party was 378 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 2: outside until somebody snapped the photo and he was sitting 379 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: inside with all the internal doors were closed around him, 380 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: and everybody at the table was all clustered real close together, 381 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: and nobody wore a mask. And still people voted for 382 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: him two more times after that. 383 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: What a stupido A what a stupido? 384 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 3: Oh okay, I thought. 385 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 2: Now that's a foreign word for stupid. The only one 386 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: who pushed back, according to Katie Crimes was the Sacramento 387 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: County Sheriff, Scott Jones, and he issued a statement at 388 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: the time saying, the Sheriff's office will not be determining 389 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: compliance with, or enforcing compliance of any health or emergency 390 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: orders related to curfews staying at home, Thanksgiving or other 391 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: gatherings outside the home mask mandates maximum occupancy, and we 392 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: will not send officers for these purposes. Because neighbors started 393 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 2: rating out other neighbors saying, hey, there's twelve people in 394 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: the backyard and they're all singing. 395 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: They're singing there and they're not wearing masks. 396 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: So the sheriff is saying, look, you don't bother us, 397 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: because we are not coming to break up these parties. 398 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 2: Gaily and Newsom also issued orders saying that and this 399 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: is again Thanksgiving back then prohibited between ten pm and 400 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 2: five am. Non essential business and personal gatherings are prohibited 401 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: between ten pm and five am. I don't understand why 402 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 2: that would be on the overnights. There was some kind 403 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: of curfew on the overnight. 404 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: There was a curfew. 405 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 3: I remember that. 406 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 2: Why would you pay I mean, the virus is the 407 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: virus thy four hours a day? Why was there, but 408 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: there was. 409 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: There was a curfew. 410 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 3: I can't believe I blocked all this out. 411 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. That's what struck me is I'd forgotten 412 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: all this. Wasn't there something about restrictions about having like 413 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: no more than three different households and oh, yeah, that's right. Pods, pods, 414 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: that's right. And because because the kids couldn't go to school, 415 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: so neighbors or friends would make pods for their children. 416 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: To And those are the only people that you could 417 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: be around. Because you're around those people, so you presumably 418 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: are all vaccinated and you know you're vetted. 419 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: I don't know.

So anyway, he finally finally discovers a 505 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 2: bear on the video camera and he's living in the 506 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: cross space. So he calls the California Department of Fish 507 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: and Wildlife. Nothing, they're on Thanksgiving holiday. 508 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: Well, they deserve a vacation too. 509 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 2: All weekend.
