And 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: I guess the Garcetti is already going. So we're gonna 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna play that clip later in the hour. But 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: the bad thing is he's coming. I guess he's coming 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: back to Los Angeles. 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: What's he going to do here? 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: And then? And yet what does he do for a living? 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: He has zero skills. He's gonna run for office again. 14 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: That's the only place a man with zero skills can 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: get work. 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 3: Well, don't you think he's going to run for governor? Yes, 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: so we'll have him. Kamala Harris and Via Ragosa. 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: What a nightmare everything old politician for the last twenty years. 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: It's going to end up unning for governor next year. 20 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: Aye as would say, good for ratings. That's right, good 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: for business. Boy. There's a debate. You want to spend 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: two hours watching Kamala, Harris Garcetti and Via Ragosa argue 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: with each other three empty balloons. We're going to talk 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: now with Michael Gates, the Huntington Beach city attorney. That's 25 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: really a nightmare. Huntington Beach wants to be a non 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: sanctuary city because of the violent crime around California perpetrated 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: by some of the illegal aliens, and so they want 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: out of this sanctuary nonsense. They want to cooperate with 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: Ice and Trump and Tom Holman. Let's get the city 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: attorney on Michael Gates to see what this is about. 31 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: He's been on with us many times. Michael, how are 32 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: you good? 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: John? 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: How are you really good? What's what's this about here? 35 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: Why do you like a non sanctuary city? What would 36 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: that be? 37 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 4: Well, basically, where we're declaring, and this is a city 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 4: council action that's teed up for tonight. It's a it's 39 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 4: a it's an an initiative excuse me, brought by our 40 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: mayor basically declaring Huntington Beach a non sanctuary city. And 41 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: there's a couple of reasons for it. One is that 42 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 4: the city wants to be able to cooperate and coordinate 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: with federal agencies, especially as needed. And we know from 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: some of the violent crimes we've seen break out across 45 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 4: the nation, whether it's the burning of the young woman 46 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 4: in the New York subway or the LA fires that 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: were started, I mean at least one of them, if 48 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: not more, they're they're pointing the finger at an illegal 49 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: immigrant with a blowtorch. And so these violent crimes that 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: are destroying people's lives have to be combated. They we 51 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: have got to uh put a stop to this. And 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: one of the ways to do it is for law 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: enforcement to coordinate and cooperate and enforce law with federal agencies, 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: including ICE or any other federal agencies that want to 55 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: get involved. Our local elected officials and our local appointed officials, 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 4: including our police department, they have a duty to protect 57 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: and provide the best public safety possible. And with this 58 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 4: outbreak of these violent crimes, and just know this a 59 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 4: couple data points. So the US Department Homeland Security says 60 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 4: California leads the nation and illegal immigrant population of three million, 61 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 4: and then the California Department of Justice has a report 62 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: out that says violent crime is up twenty percent in 63 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 4: California since twenty eighteen or nearly twenty percent. So just 64 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: in recent years, we've seen a dramatic uptick, dramatic nearly 65 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: twenty percent in violent crime. It's incumbent on our local 66 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: officials to combat crime with whatever resources possible. More than 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: that too, the sanctuary state long California forces local officials 68 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: to violate federal immigration law, specifically as it relates to 69 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: harboring and concealing illegal immigrants and those who have committed crime, 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 4: and saying no, we're not going to put our especially 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 4: with Tom Homan making these declarations that he's going to 72 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 4: be going after, you know, state and local officials on 73 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 4: this issue. We're not going to put our agents, or 74 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 4: our law enforcement agents, or our police department in peril 75 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 4: legal jeopardy by subjecting themselves to the sanctuary state law, 76 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 4: which forces them to violate federal immigration law, which is 77 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: these are federal crimes, John like literally, they're on the books, 78 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: federal crimes. And so the conflict was created by the 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: sanctuary state law here in California between the state and 80 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 4: the federal government. And we're getting out of the way 81 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: of that conflict and we're going to cooperate with the 82 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: federal government we're going to enforce the law and we're 83 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 4: going to keep our city safe. 84 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: Have you gotten any blowback from Sacramento over this proclamation? No? 85 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: And I do wonder if he's distracted with the LA 86 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 4: fires because we haven't have We really haven't gotten any blowback, 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: although maybe after tonight's city council action there may be. 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 4: I will tell you too, I filed a lawsuit a 89 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 4: week and a half ago challenging the sanctuary state law 90 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: for the reasons I just stated for this new policy. 91 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 4: So we're in federal court right now with a brand 92 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: new lawsuit challenging the sanctuary state law is violative of 93 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: federal law, the US Constitution, and the California Constitution. 94 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: So how does this work practically? I mean, are you 95 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: aware of illegal alien violent selons living in hunting In 96 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: Beach or do you have any in your jail? Is 97 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: there something that we're going to see on the news 98 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: soon that they well, you're forced to cooperate or do 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: you choose now to cooperate with the feds? 100 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: Right right? So, I can't reveal anything at this point, 101 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 4: but I will tell you this. Huntington Beach is the 102 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: twenty third largest city in the state. Of California at 103 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: four hundred and eighty two cities. We are very large. 104 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 4: We're in the top four and a half percent by 105 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 4: size two hundred thousand residents. We're a tourist destination. We 106 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: have a big population and about fifteen million people coming 107 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: through here each year to go to our beaches and 108 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: to go to our specific events or our special events here, 109 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 4: whether it's the US Open or our parades or whatever. 110 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: So it's incumbent on our law enforcement to have every 111 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 4: resource available to them to implement best law enforcement policies. But, 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 4: like I said, more than that, they should also not 113 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 4: be required to violate federal immigration law. They should not 114 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 4: be subject to criminal prosecution or penalties by the federal 115 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 4: government simply because Newsom wants to harbor and conceal and 116 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 4: have that policy statewide to harbor and conceal illegal immigrants 117 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: and specifically those who are are. 118 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: To commit violent crime. 119 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 4: Orange County Sheriff's Department statistics show that for all of 120 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 4: those criminals that they've had in custody here in Orange 121 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 4: County subject to ICE detainers that they were not allowed 122 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 4: to hand over to the federal government or ICE, that 123 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 4: those recommitted crimes of fifty percent of those recommitted crimes 124 00:06:52,040 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 4: so huge, it's astronomical. And so it's to have lawnfacement 125 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 4: hands tied behind their back or to not be able 126 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 4: to keep their communities safe simply because Newsom has a 127 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 4: different policy that is contrary to federal law and best 128 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 4: practices in terms of enforcement is ridiculous. 129 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: And you're gonna you're gonna have You're gonna have a 130 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: city ordinance or a policy that conflicts with state law, 131 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: and normally state law superseded city law, although you've challenged 132 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: that notion quite a few times. But but their state 133 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: policy conflicts with federal law, and that federal is now 134 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: being enforced. This is you. You are going to be 135 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: complying with federal law. So I don't know what your 136 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: legal liability is going to be. How how could the 137 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: state come down on your head if if you are 138 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: doing what the federal government requires you to do well. 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 4: And Tom Homan's been very expressed, and we appreciate his comments, 140 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: but he's donning for any any any state or local 141 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: officials that stand in the way, and he has declared 142 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: that they will be prosecuted criminally, and so that puts 143 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: our folks in legal peril as. 144 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: Well for harboring or concealing illegal aliens. Yeah, I've heard 145 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: him say that, and I want to see if they're 146 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: going to really follow through on that and arrest some 147 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: public official. 148 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 4: Right And to be clear to the listeners, you know, 149 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: Huntington Beach is not creating this conflict of laws or policy. 150 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 4: The state, by its sanctuary state law, created this conflict 151 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 4: of law and policy. We're trying to get out of 152 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: the way of that conflict, and we're trying to keep 153 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: our city safe. 154 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: All right, Well, this is this is going to be 155 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: fascinating to see what happens.

Moistline eight seven seven Moist 320 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: eighty six Friday. You should let the world know how 321 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: you're feeling, what you're thinking eight seven seven, Moist eighty six, 322 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: or the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app when we 323 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: had Trump on for the interview back in October, he 324 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: spent a little time on the Delta smelt. He finds 325 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: California water policy to be absurd. And when the fire 326 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: happened in the Palisades and they ran out of water, 327 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: Trump connected the flushing of billions of gallons of water 328 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: into the ocean to save the Delta smeuth. He connected 329 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: that to our lack of water here. And there is 330 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: it a direct connection, there is an indirect one. But 331 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: this Delta smelt keeps popping up in the news now 332 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: for many years. And I saw a great story yesterday 333 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: in the National Review by Rich Lowry, who has tried 334 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: to explain what the problem is with the Delta smelt. 335 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: And it really has a huge impact on the water 336 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: supply in California, and eventually it has an impact here. 337 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: So listen to this. Only in California would you get 338 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: an absurd story like this. The Delta smelt is three inches, 339 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: It's an ugly, flimsy fish. It's inedible, and as Larry says, 340 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: in the normal course of things, it would be of 341 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: no interest to anyone, but thirty years ago it was 342 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: declared threatened and then endangered, and because of that, California 343 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: has been diverting billions of gallons of water that should 344 00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: go to the cities and the agricultural areas. They're also 345 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: worried about the salmon, but this is about the delta smell. 346 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: Can you imagine diverting billions of gallons of water into 347 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: the ocean. We can't use it. See, the rainfall in 348 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: California occurs in places where most people don't live or 349 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: farm to northern California, in eastern California. Down here, it's 350 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: an semi arid climate. Some years it doesn't rain. In fact, 351 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: most of the time you get a pattern exactly like 352 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: what we're having, two years of plentiful rain and then 353 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: one year of next to nothing. So the idea has 354 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: always been distributed the water from the north and send 355 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: it south. That was the California Water Plan in nineteen 356 00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: fifty seven. California wanted to build infrastructure to deliver fifty 357 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: one million acre feet of water to the cities and 358 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: agricultural areas. But because of environment, because of all the 359 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: environmental lunatics that took control of state government. They never 360 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: built the infrastructure to deliver that water. Instead much of 361 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: it goes out into the ocean. Stupid. It's just flat 362 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: out stupid, I guess is another one of these things. 363 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: We got to stop debating and arguing these with these 364 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: fanatics about we simply they have to be overpowered and removed. 365 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: So California stopped building reservoirs for the last forty six years. 366 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 1: Since nineteen seventy nine, they have built only one reservoir, 367 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: and that one was twenty five years ago. So we 368 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: built one. We built zero reservoirs in the last twenty 369 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: five years. We have built one reservoir in the last 370 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: forty six years. When you hear them prattling about lack 371 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: of water, climate change, how we remember Jerry Brown, the 372 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: Jerry Brown years. We had to ration water, we had 373 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: to have five minute showers, We couldn't fill our swimming pools, 374 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: we couldn't wash down our driveways. Remember all that stuff, 375 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: total nonsense. They were supposed to bring in fifty one 376 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: million acre feet of water a year down here, and 377 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: they decided not to because environmentalists wanted to save a 378 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: few species, including the three inch delta smelt. 379 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 2: Do you know, the Delta smelt only lives for a year. 380 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: They're not worth if they if they went extinct, who 381 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: would care? Why would we care a year? Yeah, if 382 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: you're not going to stick around past a year, I 383 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: don't think we should go out of our way to 384 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: save your life. All right. We had plenty of water. 385 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: On average between twenty eleven and twenty twenty, one hundred 386 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: and eighty million acre feet of water fell every year, 387 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: but we don't have enough reservoirs. We passed a bond 388 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: ten years ago, eleven years ago now to spend seven 389 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: billion dollars on a new reservoirs. None of them have 390 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: been built, none of them are even started. There aren't 391 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: enough reservoirs. And they were worried about the smelt and 392 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: some other species, so they let the water flow out 393 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: to the ocean uninterrupted. This is especially true along the 394 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: Sacramento San Joaquin Delta, so the Central Valley farmers they 395 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: can't get water diverted. They are pumping water from underground 396 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: to the point that the land is actually sinking considerably. Now, 397 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: going back to the Delta smelt, which only sticks or 398 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: around for a year, apparently died off already in California. 399 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: They can't find any. So we diverted water into the 400 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: ocean for decades, and the delta smell disappeared on its own. 401 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: It's been dying off in large numbers every summer. You 402 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: need the right temperature, the right salt content in the water. 403 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: They also put restrictions on bass fishing, and the bass, 404 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: which is an invasive fish, has eaten up a lot 405 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: of the delta smelt and all the other fish. In fact, 406 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: bass used to be well. They were eighty percent of 407 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: the population twenty years ago. Now the bass is ninety 408 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: eight percent of the population. Ninety eight percent is bass 409 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: and other non native fish. Non native fish eat the 410 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: endangered fish, so the heat kills the smelt. The bass 411 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: and the other fish eat the smelt, and we'd blow 412 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: billions and billions of gallons of water into the ocean 413 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: because of insane environmental activists who belonged to some wacky 414 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: religion and the delta smell was one of the gods 415 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: they prayed to. A group of biologists wrote almost ten 416 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: years ago, the delta smelt is well adapted for an 417 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: estuary that no longer exists, So why don't we stop 418 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: sending billions and billions of gallons of water into the ocean. 419 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: And this is where Truck comes in because he says 420 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: it affects southern California, and it does indirectly, because if 421 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: they're never going to send us the water here, that's 422 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: why we never built the reservoirs here. If we knew 423 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: billions of gallons of water we're gonna be sent down here, 424 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: and we would build the reservoirs and we'd also fill 425 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: the ones we have, and then maybe you wouldn't have 426 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: the Palisade situation. So that's why the Delta smelt is 427 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: a symbol of all the idiocy that's run California and 428 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: Los Angeles for decades now. The whole Newsome Brown era, 429 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: the Reaverra Gosa, Garcedi bass Era, all these people are 430 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: responsible for all the nonsense talkboard. 431 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 432 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 5: six forty. 433 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: The Alta Diena fire has not gotten as much coverage 434 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: as the Palisades fire. This is the well it's not 435 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: as the Eaton fire officially out, but they had burned 436 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: seven thousand plus homes, good lord, and they've had seventeen deaths. 437 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: It's just as bad, if not worse than what happened 438 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: in the Palisades. And now the La Times, because I 439 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: mentioned last hour, as Elon Musk opened up the Department 440 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency, we are opening up the department of blame, blame, 441 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: finger pointing, Monday morning quarterbacking, and second guessing. Now I 442 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: think it should be blamed finger pointing, second guessing and 443 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterbacking. That's what we're going to call it. Well, 444 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: this story, they discovered that Altadena neighborhoods that burned in 445 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: the western part of the region did not get evacuation 446 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: orders until nine hours after the fire started. The fire 447 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: started in Eaton Canyon at six thirty pm on January seventh. 448 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: Neighborhoods west of North Lake Avenue did not get evacuation 449 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: orders till three twenty five am. By then, the embers 450 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: were raining down on the neighborhoods. LA County emergency officials 451 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: declined to discuss details of the evacuation well, of course, 452 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: and when asked when the order went out, the Office 453 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: of Emergency Management looked at the record, said why don't 454 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 1: you look at the records. Well, the Times looked at 455 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: the records, and the order was at three twenty five. 456 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: So they said, well, were they any earlier warnings? Well, 457 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: we don't want to say. The Times cannot find any. 458 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: They've done a thorough review of all sources. So there 459 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: you go. In Western out the Dana, the fire started 460 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: at six thirty pm and people did not get warnings 461 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: to clear out till three twenty five, and that's why 462 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: you had seven thousand homes burned in seventeen deaths. 463 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 8: All right, we got Conway now, and you remember the 464 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 8: day after that, at four o'clock when I was in 465 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 8: here doing cross with you, we all. 466 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: Got the alert to evacuate. Oh yeah, we got an alert. 467 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 8: To evacuate this building and we were about sixteen miles 468 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 8: away from the freeway from the fire. Yeah, people got 469 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 8: from Palmdale to Ocean Side got alerts to immediately evacuate, 470 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 8: and then we all went online and it was all bs. 471 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: And then then you lose trust in the system. No, 472 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: I got to just a couple of a few nights ago, 473 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: it's crazy. And then Eric got a couple. No, I've 474 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: counted least and I know of like six fake warnings 475 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: that went. 476 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 8: Out, and they don't know how to shut him off. No, 477 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 8: they can't do it. There's some kind of algorithm that's 478 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 8: already built in the computer and they don't know how 479 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 8: to shut it off. 480 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: And the guy tried to assure us it wasn't human error. Right, Well, 481 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't make you feel better. It's even worse. 482 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, Alex Stone is coming on with US California. 483 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 8: Other states are well there quick todight or come out 484 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 8: against Donald Trump. So there you go, s already starting. 485 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 8: Alex Michaelson from Washington, DC is coming on. And then 486 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 8: we have money to give away, a thousand bucks. What 487 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 8: would you do with a thousand dollars? What would I 488 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 8: do with a thousand dollars? I may take gun lessons 489 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 8: with one thousand dollars. After last week, I could take 490 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 8: how many lessons that buyes? I could teach how to 491 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 8: turn that into two thousand of the track or zero? 492 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Well, look there's that. Let's not talk about that. Angelovin 493 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: what a con artist. I can turn that into two 494 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: thousand for you. One step forward. 495 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 8: You take one step forward, your body will naturally follow. 496 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: I can slice and dice of tomato soa thin you 497 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: can read the times through it?
