1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four after four o'clock. 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show on demand and Yes, the latest is 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: according to New York Post that Gavin Newsom's hair did 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 2: not burst into flames during the fire and ember landed 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: on his head and a fire official swept it off 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: his head. But it did not burst into flames. Okay, 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: but we're still on that story and we're looking for 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 2: any updates. He said it's on video. His office produced 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 2: a video, but it was not a video of his 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: hair bursting into flames. There was no wall of fire 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: coming out of his head. Now we're going to talk 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: to pallisag's resident named Michael Currith. Michael is a has 15 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: lost his home, but he's become an expert witness in 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: the legal case. He has a website called fire rebuild 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 2: dot com on a list of facts on what happened, 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: other detailed information. You could look at a fireybuild dot com. 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 2: Let's get him on here. Michael, How are you good? 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 3: How are you John? 21 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 2: It's good to have you on and I'm sorry about 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: all the loss you suffered with your home. Can you 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: briefly describe what your experience was the day of the fire. 24 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 3: I think I need to actually go before that. So 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: we actually lost our home in a twenty eighteen woolseyfire, 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 3: and that is what initiated Thefirerebuilt dot com. It's after 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: six years of dealing with the City of Malibu through 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: departmenting process, we were signed off in twenty twenty two. 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: We had signed off from the fire Department the City 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: of Malibu where you can make all that assets to 31 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: come back and started or to process again. So then 32 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: after that it was twenty twentive or twenty twenty four 33 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: came towards the end of the year and the fire 34 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: department told us that we would never be allowed to 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: rebuild the homes. So we moved to the Palasades and 36 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: three months later is when the Palasads fire happened. So 37 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: fire Rebuilders actually initiated back then to help inform people, 38 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: to help let them know what they may be going 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: through in the fire rebuild process so that they can 40 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 3: make the informed decision whether to just sell their land 41 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: and move on or to go through the permitting and 42 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: rebuilding process. 43 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: So what happened to your second home in the Palisades 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: had survived? 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: No, we lost that one. 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: You lost that you had two homes, You lost two homes. 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: Yes, and exactly so the fire rebuilt site. I transitioned 48 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: that from a way to help and inform people over 49 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: to more of a documentation of what happened that day, 50 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: what has happened since, and it took off. I got lucky. 51 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: Rick Caruso shared my wind and weather report that I 52 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: put out, the Unprecedented Failure not unprecedented conditions report, and 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: it was kind of started from that. The day of 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: the fire, I didn't feel any winds. I knew there 55 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: were no winds. My wife and I we fought, and 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 3: I because we didn't take anything. We didn't. We thought 57 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: because we lived next to an elementary school, a church, 58 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: and the Palastage village, that we will be fine. They 59 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: will never let an entire community burns. So I thought 60 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: we didn't have to really take anything. And that was 61 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: our biggest regret is that we put a lot of 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: faith in that anyone could do their job that day, 63 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: and no one did. 64 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: Nobody, nobody. I've watched two documentaries on the fire, just 65 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: in the last few days, and it seems to be 66 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: obvious that nobody showed up. There was no preparation beforehand, 67 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: there was no execution in fighting the fire, and now 68 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: after the fire, there is nobody helping people rebuild and 69 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: navigate the whole stupid process. 70 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: And that's why I reached out to you, honestly. It's 71 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: I heard your report on I know the documentary are 72 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: talking about from Rob. I watched that, but that just 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: covers a small piece of what really happened that day. 74 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: So I really do appreciate how you were coming forward 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: and covering the disaster that had happened and that we're 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: still going through because a lot of the media isn't 77 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 3: and what Rob's film, the documentary was covering, they did 78 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: stand down. It wasn't just the Lockman fire where they 79 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 3: were ordered to stand down and let it burn that 80 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: everyone's talking about. It was the day of the fire, 81 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 3: between three and four pm the fire department was given 82 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 3: in order to stand down and just let it burn out. 83 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 3: And that's I think what his documentary is covering, and 84 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: it's we have not had any needs support from anyone. 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: They're still refusing to acknowledge that anything really happened to us, 86 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 3: and they're lying about it. I mean, the main difference, 87 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: and I wanted to cover this, I don't. I don't 88 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: want to talk over or cut you off or anything. 89 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: But the main difference that people outside of California needs 90 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: to really understand is that what we went through was 91 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: completely different from they eat and fire. It's different than 92 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: the fire in Hawaii. It's different from any disaster in 93 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 3: history and the state of California. That's why I'm saying 94 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: it's the worst unnatural disaster in the state of California. 95 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: And the reason for that is the blame when Sokala 96 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: it's in for the Wolvesy fire. Yes, it was painful 97 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: for a lot of people, but if you did follow 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: the lawsuit, you were made whole. They didn't fall. The 99 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: major problem that we're having right now is all of California. 100 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: And it's not just Gavenusom, it's the mayor, it's even 101 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: our senators. We don't even have senates here. We have 102 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: to get people from outside of our state to help us. 103 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: That they haven't admitted fault, and people need to understand 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: that that we're in a really terrible situation, not just 105 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: because of the fire, but because nobody is taking accountability 106 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: or a knitting what happens. 107 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: Nobody. It's it's bizarre because you do have the state 108 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: with responsibility, the City of the La Fire Department, the 109 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 2: Department of Water and Services, you know, just for starters here, 110 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 2: and there isn't one person that I've seen from any 111 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: of these agencies, anybody in government who's talked honestly about 112 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: what went on and why nobody They either don't talk 113 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: or they just give you cliches and platitudes and promises 114 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: for an investigation somewhere down the road. But mostly it's 115 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 2: it's just a blackout of information. It's it's stonewalling all around. 116 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 3: I completely agree, and I really, like I said, I 117 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 3: really appreciate that your covering it. And it's the weirdest 118 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: thing to me is my background is in saltware engineering technology. 119 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: I just want to make it clearer or to anyone 120 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: listening that fire Rebuild is in no way for profit 121 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: taking donations, ads or anything. Is My background is just 122 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: to help people. I have a technical background. I'm not 123 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: a builder. I don't know any of that really. But 124 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: it's the weirdest thing to me is that if somebody 125 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 3: starts throwing out numbers. I see that is the defendent 126 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 3: of the fact that there should be evidence to back 127 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: Do's numbers. And the day of the fire, everyone in 128 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: the media kept saying hurricane force winds, hundred mile hour 129 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: winds huntred male hour are gust and there's no record 130 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: of that. Like part of me being an expert witness 131 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: in the case, why I was approached is I went 132 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: through all fifty six weather stations surrounding the fire in 133 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: Los Angeles County and none of them recorded anything close 134 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: to that. 135 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: What about the winds in the palisade specifically on that day. 136 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: What's the best estimate of the wind speed? 137 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: So when I give these numbers, I need to preface it. 138 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: So I'm talking from ten am to four pm. What 139 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: the four pm period is when they stood down and 140 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: they said, let's just say fact, we're not doing anything. 141 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: The fire department gave up. So between that times frame 142 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: you have to also consider the distance in the elevation. 143 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: So in terms of distance from the fire origin, it's 144 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: a weather station and Pacific Palisade is about two point 145 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 3: two miles from the fire origin, and that recorded about 146 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: five miles per an hour sustained wind average speed, and 147 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: that was at twelve twenty nine PM five spot five 148 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: miles per hour. And the reason why I'm using average 149 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: sustained wind speed I'll backtrack on this is they're using 150 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 3: hurricane force wins. So the definition of a hurricane force 151 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 3: wind is an average sustained wind speed, and so it 152 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 3: doesn't mean like the mac speed of that period or 153 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: wind gust that's excluded. So if we're talking purely wind 154 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: speed average, it was five miles per hour. Was the 155 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: closest weather station in elevation. The one that was closest 156 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: in elevation to the fire origin was only eight miles 157 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: per hour. So it's I mean, even if you take 158 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: the overall sum the maximum wind speed in the area 159 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: of the Palisades, it was thirty one miles per hour. 160 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: That was the highest wind speed, the highest gust in 161 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: thirty one according to all the records you could find. 162 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 3: Speed all in Pacific pali Stades. Now, there is one 163 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 3: weather station that they all keep pointing to. It's only 164 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: one out of fifty fifty six, and that's they call 165 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 3: it the sixty nine Bravo. It's owned by the Los 166 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: Angeles County Fire Department. There was a helicopter pad up there, 167 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 3: and that is double in elevation above where the fire 168 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 3: origin is, and it's five times in elevation above Pacific Palisades, 169 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 3: the Palisades Village area. And that one during the time 170 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 3: of the fire, that one only recorded about thirty to 171 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: forty is the average wind speed during the ten am 172 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: to four pm, the containable period of the fire. The 173 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 3: maximum throughout the day was not one hundred miles per 174 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: hour winds or guts, and it never even recorded hurricane 175 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: force winds. So the entire thing of that is false. 176 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, hang on because I need to do the 177 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: news here and we're going to come back and continue. 178 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: All right, all right, we got Michael Michael Krathon.

He's 189 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: got a website called fire Rebuild dot com, and we 190 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: were talking about how he looked at fifty six wind 191 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 2: stations in the Palisades area and none of them had 192 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: anything recorded anywhere near one hundred miles an hour wind 193 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: speed hurricane force wind speed, which would be over seventy 194 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: four miles an hour during that period between ten and 195 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: four o'clock when the LA Fire Department was still fighting 196 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: the fire and then they stood down. We're gonna play, 197 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: Michael just for a little five second clip of Gavin 198 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: Newsom speaking recently. He was talking about trying to get 199 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: money out of Washington, and I'll remind people, in the 200 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: middle of winter, we had one hundred mile on our 201 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: winds attached to a fire. So there you go, Newsome. 202 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: This this that clip is from the past week. One 203 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: hundred mile and Horawinsy claims, Michael, you there, Yes. 204 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: I'm here, can you hear me? 205 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 206 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: Okay, So online a lot of people are kind of 207 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 3: reiterating the same thing, and it seems to be a 208 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: common excuse. Again they when it's all happened. Everyone we 209 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: talked to that was in the area then it then't 210 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: witnessed that, and the reports that I research couldn't validate 211 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: any of that, so we knew they were covering up 212 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 3: something or lying about something. And my response on that 213 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: when people say that or they reiterate that false narrative 214 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: is can you provide the daytime weather station that recorded 215 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: those wins? And so far nobody's been able to do so. 216 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I encourage your listen. They can reach out 217 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: to me on the site if they find a record 218 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: of one mile per our win on that day. Actually 219 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: in California, there's no one hundred miles for our wins 220 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: that were recorded anywhere in California that day. And I 221 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: know because I downloaded the sixteen terabytes of whether and 222 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 3: climate data to disprove the unprecedented conditions of the day. 223 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: So I have a lot of data on this and 224 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 3: I can disprove any of those false claims if anyone 225 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: wants to bring them forward. 226 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: This must be making you insane to hear them constantly 227 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: repeat this, not only Newsome but other politicians, everybody in 228 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: the media. 229 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: I think the thing that's making us insane is the 230 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: simple fact of people should be very concerned. And I 231 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: know the latest thing that came out of let it 232 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 3: burn the state park thing. I guess it's in the 233 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 3: manual that they don't put out fires for some reason. Yeah, 234 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: the plants are more important than the people. 235 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: Milk plant is going. 236 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: To burn anyway, I'm sorry. 237 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: The milk vetch plant. Apparently that's the most important plant 238 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: in human. 239 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: History, more important than people. But the point that I 240 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 3: was trying to make is if you really look at 241 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: the state park surrounding the area, Brentwood has two will 242 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: Rogers State Park and another. I believe Calabasas has a 243 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: few as well. Malibu has five. So the area of concern. 244 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: If people that live in Brentwood, Calabasas should be very concerned, 245 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: they should be reaching out now to the state parks 246 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: to get a copy of the manual and see are 247 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: they going to let my home burn? Because it's not 248 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: a matter of it, it's a matter of when and 249 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: the when kind of period that I'm seeing with this 250 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: current legislation and everybody in power right now, it seems 251 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: to be a five year cycle. Like wolvesey fire hapened, 252 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: everybody forgets and they move on. Then it's Palistate's fire. 253 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: The fire art has to get their rewards and make 254 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: everybody proud. So they're going to do their job, and 255 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: homes are going to be saved within these next two 256 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: or three years. But then they're going to start to 257 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: weaken again. People are going to forget, they don't care. 258 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: I saw it with the Wolsey fire. It's the first 259 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: year people cared. They're very sympathetic, they're all there to 260 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: help you. But then as the years start to go on, 261 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: people start to forget and they start to they don't care. 262 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: So it is going to happen. And I really do 263 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: encourage Brent Wood in Calabasa's the residents there. Everybody knows 264 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 3: that Malibu is surrounded by five five state parks, So 265 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 3: if you want to find out if your home is 266 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: actually in danger, just reach out to that. And the 267 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: reason why I'm saying in danger is because fifty six 268 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 3: percent of residential areas in California are equal or greater 269 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: fire risk of Pacific Pali states. And that's based on 270 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: the climate data throughout history back from nineteen seventy nine 271 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: to current, the weather reports, the indexes they use, these 272 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: metrics or a call like a burning and I just 273 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 3: have to interrupt you call it. 274 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: I only have a minute here, and I do want 275 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: to talk with you again soon. Okay. But they don't 276 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: clear the brush in these state parks. They just don't. 277 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: I saw a woman in one documentary say that the 278 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: brush was probably ten feet high near her house and 279 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 2: it was on state park land. So all the instruction 280 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: they're constantly giving all of us homeowners they don't do 281 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: at all. 282 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: Oh no, I completely understand. There's an entire list of 283 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: things that I could go over with you. It'll take 284 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 3: like ten days to go through it all. But there's 285 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 3: so many contradictions. It's where we're going to pull the 286 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: home part into defensible states zero or zone zero whatever, 287 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: and then but they don't do anything. They are not 288 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: even taken in accountability. They're not even saying we're sorry 289 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: that it's happened. How can we help you, Like if 290 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 3: we had anyone in power that said, hey, I'm sorry 291 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: this happened, how can we help you get through this 292 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: or we messed up? 293 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: Okay, lines Michael, We're gonna talk again soon and we'll 294 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: go through some other issues. 295 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, thank you for your time. 296 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: Thank you for coming on Michael Kurth because I'm gonna 297 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: stay on this.

What he figured out is the number of 324 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 2: homeless deaths. If you add him up, uh, it roughly 325 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: equals the number of homeless people that she claims have 326 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: been taken off the streets.

The city council president 338 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: in La mar Case, Harris Dawson, has said that the 339 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: number of homeless deaths equals the number of homeless people 340 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: taken off the street. You notice her reaction was, really, 341 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: I never heard that. That's not possible. He's the city 342 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: council president. And the math does work when you add 343 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: up her numbers, the number of people she claims is 344 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 2: taken off the streets, Yeah, it pretty much matches the 345 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 2: number of deaths. And we've talked about this in the 346 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: past because there's an average of like, you know, five 347 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: six people that die every day, and you multiply that 348 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: by three sixty five and the number is pretty close. 349 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: And the thing is, when I saw her do that, 350 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: she goes, really, I didn't know. That was the same 351 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: thing she pulled when talking to actually was Alex Michaelson 352 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: when he said that, you know there were warnings out 353 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: five days in advance. It's like, well, I didn't know 354 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: about that. Nobody told me. She has practiced this look 355 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: of shock, like, oh, well, yet no, nobody told me. 356 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: I didn't know there was those warnings. Oh I never 357 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: heard those numbers, and then she has that smile. Play 358 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: some Morember, Remember will be about about five, four to 359 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: five and six a day. 360 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 5: The official reduction was fifteen hundred and fifty three. That 361 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 5: was the official numbers. 362 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 3: Who lost his count? 363 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 5: So if he do that simple laugh, he's wondering why 364 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 5: he not discussing the fact that much of this number 365 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 5: is actually a reduction a cousin overdose. 366 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: But we have we have stay in their overdose tests. 367 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 5: If we have five the day, that's over at thout 368 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: two thousand, two thousand years. 369 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: And the reduction is fifteen fifty stop stop. So she 370 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: he's trying to explain to her how the math works. 371 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: She's pretending that she doesn't follow, and he said, well 372 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: how much of reduction? And is this really if we 373 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: have five debt? So play play it again? Play continue 374 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: playing it. 375 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: Rather and the reductions basically what you're saying, no progress 376 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: has been eight. That's that's her counting debt. 377 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: And also, well you don't know what you understand about 378 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: that question. 379 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: Reduction of the cant. 380 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: Right stop stop now she's saying it's a reduction of encampments. 381 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: After he explains the maths several times. She goes, well, 382 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: it's a reduction of encampments, is what I'm talking about. 383 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 2: Continue absolutely if you're talking about almost population with down 384 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: fifteen and fifty three by the last count, right, and 385 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: they all know that. 386 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: I mean, you said it two times, okay, but we 387 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: know that you said it. 388 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 2: Two times, she says condescendingly. 389 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: She turns with a sickly smile on her face. 390 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: What what is? 391 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: You have your respective? And I had mine? 392 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 5: She said, sixty five? 393 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: And that's about it. That's about two thousand a year. 394 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 2: There's more take. 395 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: Then she notices then somebody is filming. 396 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, and. 397 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: Then her staff comes in and rescues her and pulls 398 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: her away. 399 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 2: She looked over her shoulder, realizes the whole exchangers on camera. 400 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: And then the staff came in. She must have given 401 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: a signal and pulled her out. See, she claimed, over 402 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 2: and over again. And it's Scott. 403 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: What's it? 404 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: Let me let me get his name here. You can 405 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: find this on x Scott A. Myers, just typing Scott 406 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: Myers and Karen Bess and you'll find the video and 407 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: just watch it. It's classic. Stands there staring and pretends 408 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: not to understand the math. And then well, you have 409 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: your your numbers and I had mine. 410 00:23:59,359 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 3: No. 411 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 2: What he says saying is okay, it's the same numbers. 412 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: The death numbers are the homeless numbers. The credit that 413 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: she's taking for removing homeless people off the street is 414 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: the same as the number of people who died, and 415 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: then she changes it to encampments. It's a total scam. 416 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: It's total nonsense. Not only is she not doing anything, 417 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: she doesn't care that she's not doing anything. She doesn't 418 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 2: care if they die. Nobody in the government cares if 419 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: these people die. She just lets you die. And then 420 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 2: the bulk of the money that they spend is on 421 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: trying to do permanent housing, because that's their philosophy. You 422 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 2: build permittent housing until then they can stay on their 423 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: drugs and their alcohol and all their insanity, you know, 424 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: no treatment, no mental health treatment, no drug treatment, no 425 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: alcohol treatment. Oh not until they get a home. And 426 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: and that's where a lot of the money goes. And 427 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: then they die. They never get to the home. They're 428 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: never going to get to the home because they can't 429 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 2: build anything because the money's getting stolen. Like those stories 430 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: about the developers and Chevy at Hills, those that are. 431 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: One of them was indicted, two of them are on 432 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: leave because millions of dollars just disappeared. Doesn't care more. 433 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: Coming up, you're listening to John Cobbels on Demand from 434 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 4: KFI Am sixty. 435 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and 436 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: shortly after four o'clock, like in just a few minutes, 437 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 2: you can hear the the podcast. It's the same as 438 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 2: the radio show. John Cobelt's Show on Demand and First Hour. 439 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: We spent a lot of time on my appearance last 440 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: night on CNN. Alex Michaelson has a new show called 441 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: The Story. Is runs every weeknight from nine to eleven, 442 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: and I was on with Arriva Martin. It was a 443 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 2: civil rights attorney, and we talked about Newsom begging for 444 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: money from Washington but nobody wanted to talk to him. 445 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: We got into that, we got into Jasmine Crockett that 446 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,239 Speaker 2: not running for Senate was pretty good stuff, and we 447 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: talked at length because Arriva Martin did believe that Newsom 448 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: really admitted that, you know, twenty four billion in homeless 449 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: money has disappeared unaccounted for. I guess would be the 450 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: more accurate term, and I went through why that's absolutely true. 451 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 2: Did it on the show today? Couldn't do a chet 452 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 2: GPT search in the middle of the Alexis Show last night, 453 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: but chet GPT had nine sources that explained about the 454 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 2: twenty four billion that's missing. And let me tell you 455 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: this is vitally important because if people in Altadena and 456 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 2: the Palisades, you may be hoping that the federal government 457 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,959 Speaker 2: bills you out in some way, and Newsom is going 458 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: to keep banging on that message, You're never going to 459 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: get the money. In the same way that when all 460 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 2: those celebrities stood on stage and raised one hundred million 461 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: dollars and promised it was going to go to the 462 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 2: people who suffered the loss of their homes, you didn't 463 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: get it. Where did it go? It got sucked up 464 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: by those nonprofits, didn't it. No homeowner in Altadena or 465 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: the Palisades got a check after they raised one hundred 466 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 2: million dollars. And then when they were called on it, 467 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: the organizer said, well, that was some of the celebrities 468 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: who said that. That was certainly the impression I had. 469 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 2: Maybe it's not legally binding, but wow. So what I'm 470 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: telling you is considering the history of Bass and Newsom. 471 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: Even if Trump, the Trump administration gives the money, and 472 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: I don't think that's happening anytime soon, You're still not 473 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: going to get the money. It's going to be stolen 474 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: because that's what they do. And you have to look 475 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: to the twenty four billion in homeless money that evaporated, 476 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: and then the thirty three billion dollars in unemployment money 477 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 2: during COVID. Most of that was taken by fraudsters overseas 478 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 2: seventeen billion dollars for high speed round. And let me 479 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 2: tell you what this whole thing of Newsom going to Washington, 480 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: d C. To begin with was. It was a stunt. 481 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 2: You don't just show up and say, hey, I'd like 482 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 2: a meeting with the head of FEMA or the director 483 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,239 Speaker 2: of this or the head of this agency or that. 484 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: You don't do that. Your staff calls their staff weeks 485 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: in advance and say the governor is coming to Washington, 486 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: you know, the week of December seventh, and he'd like 487 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: to meet with the following people if you could make 488 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: some availability. Instead, he just shows up banging on every 489 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: door and they go get out of here. So we 490 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: got no time for a meeting with you. And they 491 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: even tried to say, well, if nobody from FEMA wants 492 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: to me, maybe somebody in another agency. No, nobody in 493 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: another agency. Well maybe an another date or other time. No, no, 494 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 2: no other date, no other time. 495 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: Out. 496 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the message. Get out. Why don't you explain 497 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: four things to explain? Where did the homeless money go? 498 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: Where did the high speed rail money go? Where did 499 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: the thirty two billion dollars in unemployment COVID money go? Oh? 500 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: And why are you. 501 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: Giving away thirty five billion dollars a year to illegal aliens? 502 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: And you don't have the same amount to do a 503 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 2: one time rebuild of the Palisades. You need about thirty 504 00:29:55,320 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: five billion to help rebuild the Palisades once. He's ends 505 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 2: thirty five billion every year on illegal aliens. 506 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: Nearly all of. 507 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: The Palisades residents, as far as I know, are here illegally, 508 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: are American citizens, most of them born in this country. 509 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 2: They're not first in line for the state tax money. 510 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 2: He's trying to get people in other state. This is 511 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 2: the thing people in other states have to pay for 512 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: the rebuild and out to Diana in the Palisades. Because 513 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: he gives away thirty five billion a year to foreigners 514 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: who are here illegally. How do you think that plays 515 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: once people find out about it? And then he blew 516 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: thirty three billion in unemployment money, but he wants another 517 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: thirty three billion or so to rebuild the Palisades. 518 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: Well, let you let all that. 519 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: Unemployment money just disappear. Why seventeen billion that would pay 520 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: for half of the Palisades Alta Dina rebuild seventeen billion? 521 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: Well that high speed rail and look at that. You 522 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: didn't even get half of a high speed rail. You 523 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: had a zero percent high speed rail out of that. 524 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: And then the homeless again, and that prices up to 525 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 2: thirty seven billion. So anyway, go to social media on 526 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: all the sites. We've got clips from last night where 527 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: I talk about this with Alex Michaelson and Areva Martin, 528 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: and then I talk about extensively some of these homeless 529 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: numbers in the first hour of the show on the podcast. 530 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: Final thing I just want to mention is Ron mom Donnie. 531 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: Earlier in the show, I talked about how he's hiring 532 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: armed He hired an armed robber to be on his 533 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: one of his transition teams before he becomes mayor. On 534 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: the Criminal Justice transition team guy was convicted twice of 535 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: armed robber. He spent seven years in prison. He put 536 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: out a video Zorroun Mamdani did, and it was not 537 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 2: again to American citizens, it was to illegal aliens, and 538 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 2: it was about how to evade ICE, how to stand 539 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 2: up to ICE agents and know your rights, claiming he's 540 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: the mayor of more than three million immigrants. There's legal 541 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: immigrants and illegal immigrants, but that's what they do. They've 542 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: been doing that for twenty years. And he went into 543 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: a story about ICE trying to raid the immigrant communities, 544 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 2: and he describes that ICE is legally allowed to lie 545 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: to you, but you have the right to remain silent. 546 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 2: You're allowed to film ICE as long as you don't 547 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 2: interfere with an arrest. New Yorkers have a constitutional right 548 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 2: to protest, and we'll protect that right. Out of the 549 00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 2: three million immigrants, four hundred and twelve thousand illegal according 550 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: to the Mayor's office data. But he mixes in the 551 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: two point six million legal immigrants with the four hundred 552 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 2: thousand illegal immigrants to give you the impression that they're 553 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 2: all being oppressed and being chased. And that kind of 554 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 2: politics is embedded here. There's nothing that Zororn Mom Donnie 555 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: believes in that Gavin Newsom and Karen Bash doesn't believe in. 556 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: It's all the same, all right. Conway's next, See you tomorrow, 557 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 2: and we got Michael Krazer live in the KFI twenty 558 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: four our newsroom.
