1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show. 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and 5 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: you miss stuff every day. I don't know how they 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 2: could be, but all right, we have the John Cobelt 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 2: Show on demand, the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. How 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 2: about that and a little bit after four o'clock that gets. 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Released and you could pick up on what you missed. 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: For example, in the first hour we had Royal oaks 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: On had a really interesting conversation with him about Nick 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: Reiner in court today for the arraignment that didn't happen. 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: They got a three week postponement. He showed up at 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: a suicide vest and not wearing much else, and the attorney, 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: Alan Jackson asked for three weeks because there's well Royle 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: explains it really well, the different types of please that 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: he could make, depending on whether it's insanity or it's 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: some kind of compromised mind because of drugs that he 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: took some inability to make rational decisions. It can't get complicated, 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: and you got to believe that there's a chance that 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: Alan Jackson and Reiner are going to go down that road. 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: We'll see. 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: But if you want to learn how to look at 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: it legally, you can't do better than Oral Oaks. And 25 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: we had him on first hour of the show, So 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: go listen on the podcast later if you missed it. 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: All right, So this is really this is really outrageous. 28 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: Karen Bass is actively now running for reelection and she's 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: going on the podcast tour and she showed up on 30 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: something called The Fifth Column and it is hosted in 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: this case by a journalist named Matt Welch and familiar 32 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: with him, but apparently he's a writer and a journalist, 33 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: he has written books, a libertarian pundit commentator, and so 34 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: he's got this podcast and he goes over to Getty 35 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: House to do it at Karen Bass's library. That is 36 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: the official mayor's residence that taxpayers pay for and most 37 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: of the mayors have lived there. And this was a 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: sixty six minute podcast, but you can only see sixty 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: two minutes on YouTube. And here's what happened at the 40 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: end of the podcast. I guess he probably said thank 41 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 2: you for coming on the two get up and shake hands, 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: and the room broke into applause. 43 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: Why I don't know. I have a feeling it. 44 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: Wasn't a hard hitting podcast, but hey, you know, that's 45 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: his show. Then the mayor kept talking and the video 46 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: kept rolling, and it seemed that after the official podcast 47 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: was over, the mayor decided to be candid and speak 48 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: truth and said that in regards to the Palisades and 49 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: Altadena fiers, both sides botched it, meaning the city her 50 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: city at La County in the case of Altadena, because 51 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: the county Fire Department and the County Board of Supervisors 52 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: governed Altadena. She started talking about the Altadena fire and 53 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: the lack of evacuation alerts, and she said they didn't 54 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: tell people they were on fire. Now, she made remarks 55 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: like this for four minutes, and I'll read you some 56 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: of the others. And so it goes on YouTube and 57 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: on November twenty fifth, and I guess nobody noticed, and 58 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: I don't know for how long it sat up there, 59 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: but eventually the Cara Vasis staff noticed and they called 60 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: Matt Welch and said, we'll take it down. That wasn't 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: supposed to be part of the podcast. That was like 62 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: off the record, and he takes it down. You believe this, 63 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: This is the first time she's said anything honest about 64 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: anything related to the fires, first time, and she's on camera, 65 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: she's on mike, and he agrees to take it down. 66 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: And then when the All Times called him about it, 67 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: he didn't want to talk. He wouldn't say whether Bass 68 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: asked for the end of the video to be cut off. 69 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: Well, they said, well. 70 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: Why can't the final four minutes be found on YouTube anymore? 71 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: He had no comment on that. 72 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: And then he says, we're not going to be talking 73 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: about any of that right now, and then he hang up. 74 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: He hung up on The Times. 75 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: This is a journalist, This is a journalist not wanting 76 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: truth to come out. Why why does he want to 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: protect Karen Bass. I don't know I'd ever heard of 78 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 2: the guy. I don't know what he's about. But why 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: would you protect her? The decision was to put it up, 80 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: and for good reason. So he won't talk. So The 81 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: Times calls Karen Bass's team and said, yeah, we asked 82 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: for the last four minutes to be cut In an email, 83 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: the mayor's team told the La Times the interview had 84 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: clearly ended, and they acknowledged that when they took it down. 85 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: And here's some other things that Bass said, no one 86 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: goes after the Board of Supervisors, meaning the county. I'm 87 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: responsible for everything. She feels like she got blamed for 88 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 2: stuff that went wrong in Altadena, and she said, yeah, 89 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: the city fire department in la failed to deploy to 90 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: the Palisades and failed to require firefighters to stay for 91 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: an extra shift, which of course we knew back in January, 92 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: but she'd. 93 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: Never talk about it. Now. Bass was out of. 94 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: The country, you know, going to Ghana, and it said 95 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: here on a diplomatic mission. Yeah, she was at a 96 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: party celebrating the Ghana president getting elected. 97 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: That's not a diplomatic mission. Now. 98 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: Bess talked with The Times about this podcast and said, well, 99 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: it was a casual conversation after the podcast, and she 100 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 2: called the situation unfortunate. Well, why do they take it down. 101 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: She's admitting the fire department botched it. And guess who 102 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 2: wasn't here to supervise the fire department, Caravass. She also 103 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 2: went on another podcast hosted by Big Boy, who hosts 104 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 2: ed on ninety two three Real ninety two three that 105 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: one of our FM stations. I knew she was here 106 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: one day in the building and on that podcast, well, 107 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what she said on that podcast, and 108 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: then I'll. 109 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Tell you why. I'll tell you it was a big 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: whopper of a lie. 111 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: And it's a big whopper of a lie that she 112 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: keeps pushing and pushing and pushing. And I'll read to 113 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: you the proof that it was a big whopper of 114 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: a lie. That's coming up next. 115 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to John cobelt on Man from KFI Am 116 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: six forty. 117 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: We are on from one until four o'clock. 118 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: The moistline eight seven seven moist daighty six, eight seven 119 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: seven moist d eighty six for Friday.

If you can only use numbers, use the 122 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. That's another option. Moistline 123 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: on Friday. I was telling you about Karen Bass. It 124 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: was revealed today in The Times that she had appeared 125 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: on some podcast at the end of November where she 126 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: admitted that alle fire Department had botched the response to 127 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: the Palisades fire. And of course you can't see that 128 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: or hear that because she said it in a four 129 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: minute conversation that the podcast video camera recorded and was 130 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: included as part of the original post on YouTube. It's 131 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: the Fifth Column podcast by an alleged journalist and writer 132 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: named Matt Welch. And when Bass's staff complained that that 133 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: extra four minutes was on the YouTube video, Welch took 134 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: it down and then got all up any and belligerent 135 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: about it. When The Times was questioning him, he hung 136 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: up on them because she admitsed that. And really context 137 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: here is because she went to Africa, she wasn't here 138 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: to oversee the fire response and oversee Kristin Crowley, the 139 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 2: LA fire chief, her fire chief, who was actively botching 140 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: things up, not sending any pre deployment cruise to the 141 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: area where the fire had been smoldering for a week. Yeah, 142 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: remember that. Because this was a rekittling of the Lockman fire. 143 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: Bass ultimately was responsible for not holding meetings all week 144 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: and saying, Okay. 145 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: We had a fire up there, is it put out? 146 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: Is it still moldering? 147 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: That's her job to do, although you'll see in another 148 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: quote she doesn't really think that's her job. So she 149 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 2: goes on this podcast and as I'm looking through some 150 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: other transcripts, Welch tells Bass that he viewed the Palises 151 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 2: fire as inevitable given the ferocious strength of the Santa 152 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: Ana wins that day. As someone who grew up here, 153 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: that fire was going to happen, right, said Bass. That 154 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: is total nonsense, total bs. Welch continued, If it's one 155 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: hundred mile an hour winds and it's dry, someone is 156 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: going to sneeze and there's going to be a fire. 157 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: It wasn't one hundred mile an hour winds. That's false. 158 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 2: It was the smoldering that was never put out of 159 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: the original fire. It was the interference from state park representatives. 160 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: So the fire department couldn't put out the smoldering. They 161 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: couldn't build a fire break, they couldn't trample on the 162 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: milkvetch plants. Some of these guys, you know, they've got 163 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 2: they've got credentials, they got resumes, but they were either 164 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 2: ignorant or there do public relations propaganda for politicians. I 165 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: don't know what the story is with Welch, but Bass 166 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: replied to his claim that there's going to be a 167 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: fire no matter what. If you look at the response 168 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 2: in Palisades and the county neither side and she paused 169 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: and said, both sides botched it. Okay, so we got 170 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: that on the record that the LA Fire Department watched it, 171 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: which is interesting because we've had three fire chiefs, Kristin Crowley, 172 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: Ronnie Vanueva, and Haimi. 173 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: Moore, and. 174 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: They have been insisting all year that we did everything 175 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: we could, including some other fire officials a little farther 176 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: down the food chain. I could read you numerous quotes 177 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: that these fire officials in public meetings, in media interviews 178 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: insisting we did everything we could. No, they didn't. And 179 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: now Bass is admitting it. That's major news. And Matt Welch, 180 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: who's under the delusion it was one hundred mile an 181 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 2: hour wins under the delusion that fires are inevitable. 182 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: No, I can tell you I have a. 183 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: Dozen ways this should have This one should have been prevented, 184 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: or it should have been stopped. I kind of shocking 185 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: how sloppy and wrong people in the media are, which 186 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: gets me to a second. Make sure I have time here, 187 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: because I wanted to get to this other thing. She 188 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: said on another podcast, Big Boy, who has a show 189 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: on ninety two to three on the FM here with 190 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: iHeart in this building, and he has a podcast separate 191 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 2: from the radio show, and Karen Bass was on it, 192 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: and she said, had she known of the danger facing 193 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: the region in early January, she wouldn't have gone anywhere. 194 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: She wouldn't have gone to log Beach let alone, Ghana. Well, 195 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: for the record, here, I was looking online for the 196 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 2: warnings that the National Weather Service gave out back in 197 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: early January. And you know what, one of the first 198 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: posts came up on Google was our own post here, 199 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: because we posted in mid February just four of the 200 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: many warnings that the National Weather Service put out warning 201 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: of severe fire danger and severe wind warnings. We just 202 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: have four, a couple of them before she left the country. 203 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: So we come back, I'm going to read you those, 204 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna give you a quote which should 205 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: infuriate you when she was asked where blame should be assigned? 206 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: All right, so that's next. It's the first time that's 207 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: ever happened. It's like our show is the main resource 208 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 2: looking for information when you google the National Weather Service 209 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: warnings for the fire. Yeah, there should have been one 210 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty references to that, but that's okay. 211 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: We got to do everybody's job. Here. 212 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am 213 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: six forty. 214 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and 215 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: you could follow us at John Cobelt Radio, at John 216 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: Cobelt Radio on all the social media platforms. All right, 217 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: so the big news at La Times. This morning Karen 218 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: Bass did a podcast and she lingered an extra four 219 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: minutes after she thought it was over and started talking 220 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: honestly for the first time in her life. There is 221 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 2: nobody more dishonest than Karen Bass, this side of Gavenuwsom. 222 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: I mean, it's astounding the lies that she tells, and 223 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: she keeps repeating them over and over, hoping they become fact. 224 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: Just the way officials kept repeating the nonsense about the 225 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: fire being inevitable and it was blowing at one hundred 226 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: miles an hour. 227 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: Neither is true. 228 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: But you have Matt Welt, the host of the podcast, 229 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: repeating that nonsense two baths, and of course she's gonna 230 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 2: going to agree with it. She's the one who put 231 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 2: out the propaganda and mission accomplished. Now you got an 232 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: alleged journalist slopping it back at her inevitable stop it, 233 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: good lord. One of the things she said on another 234 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: podcast that The Times went through on big Boys podcast 235 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: is had she known of the danger facing the region 236 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: in early January, she would not have gone. 237 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: She wouldn't have gone to log beach let alone. Ghana. 238 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: Well, she's claiming she didn't know. That's what she was 239 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: claiming back in January and February two, that she didn't 240 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: know that there were bad wind warnings at bad fire warnings. 241 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: I can't believe eleven months later, she's still selling this 242 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: bag of crap. So I went online and I needed 243 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: to find a source that might have a link to 244 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: the National Weather Service warnings for that first week in January, 245 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: and it took me to our own show here because 246 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: we had addressed this. I'll tell you when February nineteenth 247 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: we posted at three forty two in the afternoon, I guess, 248 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: I guess Eric must have done this right. Here are 249 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: four examples of warnings from the National Weather Service warning 250 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: for fire weather conditions from Tuesday that there was going 251 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: to be fire weather conditions from Tuesday the seventh to 252 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: Friday the tenth, posted by the National Weather Service Los Angeles. 253 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: Yet MARYK Karen Bass said she was unaware of the warnings. 254 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: That's what we posted back in February, along with four 255 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: examples of the warnings, one of them here January second, 256 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: before she went to Ghana National Weather Service. Potential from 257 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: moderate to strong Santa Ana wins and extreme fire weather 258 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: conditions next Tuesday the seventh through Thursday. In fact, they 259 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: had a graphic a photograph of wildfire on the Harai 260 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: and it said potential fire weather risk next next Tuesday 261 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: and to Thursday, January seventh through ninth. Chance of moderate 262 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: to strong Santa Ana winds combined with dry air and 263 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: vegetation impacts. Extreme fire growth and behavior possible if a 264 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: fire starts and power outages. Use extra caution with potential 265 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: fire sources. Again January second, at six twenty six pm. 266 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: Cambas has about one hundred staffers in the Mayor's office. 267 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: None of them saw this. She didn't see this. 268 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: Nobody told her. She didn't hear about this. 269 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: My memory was, is all the radio and television stations 270 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: around this. You know what it's like around here. They 271 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: don't give you much news. But if there's like some 272 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: kind of weather, you know, big winds or rain, it's 273 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: non stop. It's almost comical. She's still selling that. Why 274 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: all right, let me give you example number two. This 275 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: is from January third. By the way, if my memory's correct, 276 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: she didn't go to Gone until the fifth. She didn't 277 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 2: arrive and gone until the fifth. So January second and third, 278 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: she was here all right. January third, National Weather Service 279 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: posts what causes wildfires combination of many components, including the 280 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: dryness of fuels, vegetation, and weather. A fire weather watch 281 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: is in effect for much of that tour at La 282 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: Counties for Tuesday to Friday next week. Take action now 283 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 2: and be prepared. And they have another graphic here to 284 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 2: show that fuel is usually dry vegetation like grass, brush, trees. 285 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: Oxygen's almost everywhere, and if you have a spark plus 286 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: the fuel and the oxygen, that equals fire. And then 287 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: they have also a chart here on how to be prepared, 288 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: ready set go, red flag warnings. 289 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: She didn't see this. She wasn't ready set go? Was she? 290 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: All right? That's two. 291 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 2: Now, Remember we didn't have we didn't have a deputy 292 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: mayor in charge of police and fire because he had 293 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: been accused of calling in a fake bomb threat to 294 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: city Hall, Brian K. Williams. So there was no backup. 295 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: You believe that you believe the backup was actually sitting 296 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: at home on paid leave because he was a lunatic 297 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: and called it a bomb threat. 298 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: Who calls it a bomb threat? Less? They're insane? 299 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: All right. 300 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: Here's the third example of the warning, and this one 301 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 2: is let me see where is this from. It says 302 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: a fire weather watch is in effect Tuesday through Friday 303 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: for portions of l A Inventora counties. There is the 304 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: potential for damaging north to northeast wins with no significant 305 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: rainfall effect. The fire season will continue into the new year. 306 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: This is posted January third as well, So that's one 307 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: from January tecond two from January third. That's three of them, 308 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 2: and there were more, but that's three of them we posted. 309 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 2: Bass is still in the country again. One hundred people 310 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: work for her, but she goes on these podcasts still 311 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: and says she didn't know. 312 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: It's just never challenged. All right. 313 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 2: Now, this one, let me click on it. This one is. 314 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 2: This is January sixth. Heads up, life threatening, destructive widespread 315 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 2: windstorm is expected Tuesday afternoon Wednesday morning across much of Ventura, 316 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 2: LA County. Areas not typically windy would be impacted. See 317 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: graphic for areas of greatest concern. Stay indoors away from windows. 318 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 2: Expect power outages. This is January sixth, at eleven an 319 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: in the morning, twenty four hours before the fire started. 320 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: Kristian Crowley doesn't send any pre deployment to the spot 321 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: where the fire had burned six days beforehand and was 322 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: still smoldering. 323 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: And ready to burn again. 324 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 2: If Karen Bass would ever come on our show or 325 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: our podcast, I would read her all these That's what 326 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: I would do and say, do you think it's credible 327 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: you didn't know? You and one hundred employees, and I 328 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: could probably find another dozen warnings that they put out 329 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 2: that week. I mean, it's incredible how she continues to 330 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: compound the wound to inflame the suffering by insisting she 331 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: didn't know, as if that's a defense, that's not a defense, 332 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: that should be another round of indictments, and then lies 333 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: about it. And she never pays for any of this. 334 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: She never pays for being too lazy or too stupid 335 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: to hold meetings that week when there were fire warnings 336 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: that I'm sure, I mean, I mean, there are some 337 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: radio stations that do weather every ten minutes. 338 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: There's there. These are all just from Twitter. Nobody, nobody 339 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: in the. 340 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: LA office has the national Weather Service Twitter feed. When 341 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 2: when when you've got these kind of warnings. I can't 342 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: believe I was still talking about this eleven months later, 343 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: because she's still going around lying about it. And if 344 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: she really didn't know, then that should have been grounds 345 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: for resignation immediately. I mean she should have been recalled, fired, 346 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: impeached something. And now she's running for re election and 347 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: everyone's acting like that's normal. Remember that dope be reporter 348 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: we played from Channel five a few days ago. 349 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: Well, you know, the fire's been a challenge. 350 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: Now we come back after Palisades failures. Another headline in 351 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: the Times today is the fire department prepared for the 352 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 2: next major wildfire. Most people and governments say no, You 353 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 2: imagine that eleven months and they're not ready if something 354 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: bad happens. Because we're coming on the year anniversary, we'll 355 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 2: talk more about it. We come back and at three 356 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: o'clock we're going to have Katie Grimes on to talk 357 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 2: about the complete failure. Up in Sacramento. There's a eighteen 358 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: billion dollar budget deficit, and many agencies have been declared 359 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: high risk, high risk agencies because of their precarious financial situation. 360 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: All Gavin Newsom policies. Yes, the state government is about 361 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 2: to collapse into the ruins of functional bankruptcy. 362 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: We'll tell you about it coming up. 363 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 364 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: six forty. 365 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: They are bleeding billions in Sacramento under Gavin Newsom. We're 366 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 2: going to talk with Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com 367 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: after three o'clock about the financial disaster that we're in 368 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: the middle of already. 369 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: All right, here's another story. 370 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: Time's put out about the fire, and it's about next 371 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 2: fire comes. Is al a fire department prepared and a 372 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 2: lot of fire officials say no, could you believe this? 373 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 2: Eleven months under Karen Bass's rule here, since the fire, 374 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: we've gotten through three fire chiefs, and right now we 375 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: have Heimi Moore and he is requesting a fifteen percent 376 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: budget increase. Remember, the fire department's only half funded, so 377 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 2: it's it's half it says. If it's half funded, if 378 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 2: we only have fifty percent of the firefighters and the 379 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: equipment we need, by definition, we are not ready for 380 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 2: another major wildfire. The firefighters Union wants a sales tax 381 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 2: to bring in another three hundred million dollars a year. 382 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: I have an idea, why don't you shut down all 383 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: the programs that service illegal aliens and let's see where 384 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: we are. 385 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: But it's not just the money. 386 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: It's that they mismanaged what they did have last January, 387 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 2: starting with leaving the scene of the original fire on 388 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: New Year's Day and letting it smolder so that it 389 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: could be whipped up into a full blown blaze on 390 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: January seventh. Time says city and city officials and fire 391 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 2: experts don't think La is ready. Pass of course, claims 392 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: that the city is on the path to be completely ready. 393 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. 394 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 2: Fire department has been way more aggressive, has done deployment, 395 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 2: been very visible, alert's going out early, trying to be 396 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: very very aggressive, so she says. But Genethia Hudley Hayes 397 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: is president of the Board of of Fire Commissioners. She 398 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: says the fire department's unprepared. Hasn't been enough time to 399 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: make changes. She said, the technology is two decades behind. 400 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: You believe this. 401 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 2: Our technology in the la Fire Department is from the 402 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: two thousands. I am not confident there would be a 403 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: different result if a similar disaster strikes that's the president 404 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: of the Board of Fire Commissioners, Janethah Hudley Hayes, Tracy Park, 405 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 2: she's the council event on the west side Palisad's in 406 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: her district. 407 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: She agreed. 408 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: She said some changes have been made now the firefighters 409 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 2: have to stay the extra shift during red flag warnings, 410 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: but she said still eleven months later, too many fire 411 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: engines are still out of service, there's still not enough mechanics, 412 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 2: and all the questions about the original fires still are unanswered. 413 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: Mark Eckstein is an emergency physician who served as the 414 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: fire Department's medical director and commander of its Medical Service 415 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 2: Bureau until he retired a few years ago. Eckstein says 416 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: more money won't solve bad decision making by top officials. 417 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 2: There you go, that's a direct hit. Without transparency and 418 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: accountability of the fallback is always going to be what 419 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: it has been. He says, we need more of everything, 420 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: more people, more money, more fire trucks, more fire stations, 421 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: and you also need intelligent people making correct decisions. 422 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: Instead, I be more. 423 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 2: The latest fire chief is pissed off, claiming everyone's smearing 424 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 2: as firefighters. Hey, we're not the ones who left early 425 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: and they didn't tell anybody about it. Exstein says a 426 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: modern fire agency has to have flexibility to surge during 427 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: a disaster. He says a panel of outside experts should 428 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 2: have been given access to fire department records to get 429 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: an unbiased look on how the department perform leading up 430 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: to enduring the fire. They still haven't done that. We 431 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: haven't had any outsiders. Look at the mess that they made, 432 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 2: he says, it's a playbook. Okay, how do we prevent 433 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 2: this from happening again? The fact that it didn't happen 434 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 2: is a disgrace. So they haven't really done an investigation. 435 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 2: They haven't really been given access to all the fire 436 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: department's records. This is truly crazy land, and vass is 437 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: running around running for reelection by now. She should have 438 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: pulled all this together and everything should have been reformed 439 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: and fixed and accounted for. There should have been a 440 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: massive budget increase. Instead, what did she spend the year doing? 441 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: Running around screaming about ice agents arresting illegal alience that 442 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 2: was her issue of the year. Did nothing, did nothing 443 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 2: to prevent or respond to the fire, has done nothing 444 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: to prepare the city for the next fire. Nothing just 445 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 2: screams about ice agents like a Looney tune, like one 446 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: of the homeless women in MacArthur Park. That's the only 447 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: time she shows any animation, any energy, any interest. 448 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: It's always for the illegal aliens. 449 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: It's never about us, the taxpayers, the American citizens, the. 450 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: People who work every day and pay her salary. She's 451 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: never interested in any of us. 452 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: We come back, we're gonna have Katie Grimes from californiaglobe 453 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: dot com on the disaster in Sacramento, the financial collapse 454 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: that's going to be happening this year under Gavin Newsom.
