<v Speaker 2>Just looking at pictures of Los Angeles, pictures of people

4
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>standing by what was their homes. Again, anyone who loses

5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>a home to a fire is tragic, but we're talking

6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 2>about thousands of people who have nowhere to go and

7
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 2>have nothing left except for the clothes on their back.

8
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>It's an incredible story. We'll keep rolling here six one

9
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 2>seven two six seven. I was gonna change at ten

10

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>We can say that till next week, but let's let's

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>continue along. We're gonna go next. Steve is in Bridgewater. Steve,

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 2>You're next one night side. Appreciate you holding through the news.

00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 3>How you doing again, Nice to talk to you again.

16
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 3>I talk with you, sir, you know, to take a

17
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 3>few things. It was just it's funny they just talked

18
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 3>about it on the news just now about a reservoir

19
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>that was taken off line. Was close to two million

20
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 3>gallons of water. Yeah, and I think that had a

21
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 3>lot to do with why some of the hydrants ran

22
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 3>dried then and they didn't have enough water to fight

23
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:19.959
<v Speaker 3>the fires.

24
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Why did they take it? Why did they take that

25
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 2>reservoir offline? Did they explain that?

26
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I heard of it even on Fox News.

27
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 3>They were for repair is it something for some reason

28
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 3>like that, for repairs or they were repairing something.

29
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 2>But well, they must have let me just add this,

30
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>they must have known that the Santa Anti winds. I

31
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>mean that that is what they get this time of

32
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>year out there. It's like we get cold weather in January,

33
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>they get the Santa Ana winds. Why would they take

34
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>it right line at this time?

35
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I know? No, mean that you're talking about hundred hurricane

36
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>force winds in one hundred miles an hour. Yeah, I

37
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>stayed pictures of hillsides and that were glowing in Orange.

38
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 3>They were so much on fire. I couldn't even believe

39
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>what I was watching. They were glowing at Orange, the

40
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 3>hillsides right.

41
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 2>And all of the contributing factors. I know that people

42
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>are going to say, well, it's the lack of rain, Okay,

43
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 2>that's fair, gonna say climate change, that's fair. But in winds,

44
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>that's fair. But how can you allow your city to

45
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 2>be exposed? You take a reservoir with two million or

46
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever the number of gallons of water.

47
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 3>You take one one point seven million gallons.

48
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Take it offline. Was that whoever made that decision? I mean,

49
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>that's just Look, I'm sure that it wasn't uh, you know,

50
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>something that was done intentionally and saying, oh, yeah, we're

51
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna have a fire next week. No, it was just

52
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 2>abject stupidity. Competence.

53
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, a lot of incompetence. I understand. The fire

54
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 3>chief cut so many, so many, so much money from

55
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 3>the fire budget, a lot of a lot of bats.

56
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Who whoa, whoa, whoa waste that? Hold on, let me

57
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 2>defend the fire chief. It wasn't the fire chief. It

58
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>was the mayor of Los Angeles.

59
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>The man, the mayor, I'm sorry, yeah, the man, the.

60
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 2>Mayor who used to be a member of Congress, and

61
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and she was away. They knew that they had some problems,

62
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>some weather problems, and she went off to some sort

63
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>of celebration in Ghana.

64
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, what a ship of fools.

65
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 2>That city is. And that's the city that had had

66
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the prosecutor, George Gasbag gascon who who was defeated, thank god.

67
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>And there's a new prosecutor out there who tonight, believe

68
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it or not, Thank God is threatening looters and and scammers.

69
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Listen to this sound by that I got. I played

70
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>this last hour, but I think it's worth a second play.

71
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't it be great to get a prosecuted like this

72
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>a message in Boston? This has cut thirty seven. Play

73
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 2>that one again, please Rob.

74
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 4>This is the La County Colisades at the sight of

75
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 4>what used to be my sister's home.

76
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 5>She's lived here for a while, a long time with

77
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 5>her family, and are now this this home, along with

78
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 5>the homes in the street, in this neighborhood, are just gone.

79
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been here for over sixty years.

80
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 5>I've not seen devastation like this in my lifetime. I mean,

81
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 5>you have to harken back to the nineteen nineties when

82
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.079
<v Speaker 5>we're hit with the floods and the fires and the

83
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 5>earthquakes and the riots to even get.

84
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 6>Close to this.

85
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 5>Now, I'm absolutely convinced that La is incredibly resilient and

86
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 5>like it's done many many times before, Angelino's will come

87
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 5>back and build this back better than ever. But for

88
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 5>the people who are thinking, the criminals who are out

89
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 5>there thinking about taking advantage of this situation through looting

90
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 5>or through scams or over.

91
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 4>The Internet and praying on vulnerable victims. Let me make

92
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 4>it quite clear what's going to happen. The DA's office

93
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 4>working for with law enforcement is going to arrest you.

94
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 4>They're going to prosecute you, and you will be punished

95
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 4>to the full extent of the law.

96
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>That's a promise.

97
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's a prosecutor. And hopefully if there's anybody out

98
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 2>there who's scamming people, twenty years should would would be

99
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 2>about right, I think for people who are scamming. I

100
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 2>hope so, I hope so and I and I hope

101
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 2>that we can we can find some prosecutors here in

102
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts as well. We got a couple, you know, John

103
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Blodge it up in Essex County retired unfortunately, Uh, and

104
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>we do have we do have a couple of prosecutors,

105
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>but we need more. I mean, Gascon was the guy

106
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>who wouldn't prosecute anybody. No wonder people are out there

107
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>figuring that they can loot and they can scam.

108
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Jan can I just sad one more thing about

109
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 3>let you go Nextcarlo. Sure, you know they're talking about rebuilding.

110
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I know it looks you see all this devastation, but

111
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 3>you know what I think it's going to be rebuilt

112
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 3>faster than you think. The bulldozers will come through there,

113
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 3>will clear out the debris, and people are going to

114
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>come in. New people with money are going to come

115
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 3>in and buy the land and rebuild on there.

116
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>You must waste. You got people out there who are

117
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>pretty wealthy to live in palace in the Pacific Palace,

118
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>right they own the property. I mean, you know they're

119
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.839
<v Speaker 2>not gonna I don't know. Maybe some will sell, maybe

120
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>some won't. How long do you think before it will

121
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>take you're optimistic, how many years do you think before

122
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that that those fire ravaged communities will come back to

123
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>where they were two weeks ago? How many years.

124
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 3>They said five to ten? I say five. Maybe it

125
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 3>might even be within five. Because it happened, it can

126
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 3>happen faster than you think.

127
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I hope, so, I hope, so, I hope the people.

128
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Would have money. Then the people that have money will rebuild.

129
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about the ones that are kind of financially

130
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 3>in the middle and didn't have it and don't have insurance.

131
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 3>In that case, somebody else will replace will coming by

132
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 3>the land because they will go to rebuild all Steve.

133
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you call. Got to keep rolling, thank you

134
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>very much.

135
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.399
<v Speaker 3>All right, by bye bye, let me keep rolling here.

136
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I got to get Ruth at Uxbridge. Ruth, I don't

137
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 2>want you to have to wait any longer. I'll take

138
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you before. Go ahead, Ruth.

139
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 7>Thank you, thanks doing good to talk to you. And

140
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 7>oh my heartaches for those people. Because I lived out

141
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 7>there for a few years. I was born and raised

142
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 7>here in Massachusetts. And the thing is is that when

143
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.639
<v Speaker 7>people look at the city of Los Angeles, you see

144
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 7>something on television and you see all the lights of

145
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 7>the city and everything you know, and what you basically

146
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 7>see is like a flat city from a tall high

147
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 7>mountain's side there and so, but the thing is all

148
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 7>the land that's around the city, outside the city, it's

149
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 7>all hilly. It's not flat. It's surrounded by hills and

150
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 7>canyons and stuff like that. And I know that when

151
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 7>we were out there for a couple of years, most

152
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 7>of the moisture that they get it was really weird.

153
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 7>They'd get it in March, in April and May, and

154
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 7>it would be damp. It would be like demp moisture.

155
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 7>At nighttime, you'd wake up and you'd walk out in

156
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 7>the morning and the ground and your roof and everything

157
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 7>would be wet. But it wasn't really like rainfall. But

158
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 7>yet I know they have a rainy time. But I

159
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 7>think the other, the other part of it is the foliage.

160
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 7>The foliage is so very different than what we have

161
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 7>around here. And this is what people don't understand. Why

162
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 7>can these fires go so fast. It's because a lot

163
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 7>of it's time and it's scrubby brushed, okay, and it

164
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 7>is it's comprised a lot of it's the oils that

165
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 7>are in the brush and it's bordering the sides of

166
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 7>the roads and stuff like that, and they just go.

167
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 7>And so their big thing was, like you mentioned, they

168
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.919
<v Speaker 7>did not clean out the brush, and that was that

169
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 7>was to me, one of the biggest things right there.

170
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 7>And the other thing you mentioned was and my son

171
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 7>just mentioned this to me just recently. He lives in

172
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 7>South Dakota, but he mentioned those big planes that are

173
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 7>based in Colorado.

174
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 8>Yep.

175
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 7>I've never seen one, but and I don't know how

176
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 7>they fill them, you know what I mean. But yeah,

177
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 7>it's it's so different. It's almost like you've got to

178
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 7>be out there to really understand and see what the

179
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 7>terrain is like, and stuff like that.

180
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>And did you live in the city or did you

181
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 2>live outside of the city.

182
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 7>No, we live We lived in both sides of the city,

183
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.000
<v Speaker 7>on the east side and on the west side, both

184
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 7>sides during the time we were out there. But we'd

185
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 7>take a lot of trips going up. We had a

186
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 7>young we had a baby, and we'd take day trips

187
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 7>up into the mountains and stuff like that, you know,

188
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 7>and then come back, you know. So we saw what

189
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 7>it was like out there, you know, very very different,

190
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 7>very different. So I'll let us people talk.

191
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Ruth, Thank you much. I appreciated interesting perspective. I'm glad

192
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you're back in Uxbridge, to be honest with you.

193
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 9>Yes, me too.

194
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's devastating, devastating than it is.

195
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 7>Thank you. Happy new to you too.

196
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Byebye.

197
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back on night Side. We'll continue to call,

198
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>will continue to talk about this. Six one, seven, two, five,

199
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>four ten, thirty six one seven. We'll be right back

200
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>after this quick break.

201
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World,

202
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Nice Sight Studio. I'm WBZ News Radio.

203
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's go next to Jerry and Michigan. Jerry, next to

204
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>night Thanks for calling in. How are you sure?

205
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 10>Hi, Hi, Dan, I'm fine. I wanted to tell you

206
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 10>how they load those planes up with water, I.

207
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Believe, love you know, yeah, how did they do that?

208
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

209
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 10>They've they've got a pan like a vent, a reverse

210
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 10>vent on the belly, and what they do is they

211
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 10>fly over the whatever it is, a lake or the

212
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 10>ocean or whatever, and they scoop that water up into

213
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 10>the plane as they fly over. And it takes I'm

214
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.879
<v Speaker 10>going to say a minute or so to do. It

215
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 10>doesn't take very long. And that technology, Hold on, I

216
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 10>got questions.

217
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>The person who sent me the material hasn't called in,

218
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>so thank you. How low do they have to fly

219
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>over the body of water to scoop the water up?

220
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 10>Well, they got to make contact with it, so it's

221
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 10>almost like a seaplane. You've probably seen steam planes into

222
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 10>You got to make contact with the water or you're

223
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 10>not going to pick it up. And so they're flying

224
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 10>probably one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty

225
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 10>miles an hour, so I mean they're really they're really

226
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 10>moving along and it doesn't take long depending on how

227
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 10>big their scoop is. And they'll have that plane loader

228
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 10>that I'm going to say, in less than a minute.

229
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So now how long has this technology been available?

230
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 7>Is this that?

231
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 10>Believe it or not? That technology goes back to World

232
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 10>War two because you know as well as I do,

233
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.200
<v Speaker 10>that we had steam locomotives back in that era that

234
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 10>ran on water and coal and then they switched cold oil. Well,

235
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.360
<v Speaker 10>the steam locomotives, what they would do is they would

236
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 10>flood between the tracks and instead of having that train

237
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 10>stop at a at a one of those whistle stops

238
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 10>where they brought the big pipe down from the water

239
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 10>tower and filled the tender with water, they dropped a scoop.

240
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 10>That train would drop a scoop and they would load

241
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 10>that tender up full of water in no time. Okay,

242
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 10>so that technology goes way back.

243
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so here's my question, Jerry. They someone said that

244
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>they were able to put on like one point seven

245
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.279
<v Speaker 2>million gallons of water on the plane.

246
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.039
<v Speaker 10>Well, probably a big seven. I don't know what planes

247
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 10>they're using, they have have them out there.

248
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 2>They said seven. They were two seven to twenty sevens.

249
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 2>The question is, if the plane is on the water

250
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.559
<v Speaker 2>scoops the water into the belly of the plane, how

251
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 2>the hell can the plane get off? The ground. It

252
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>has nothing to it has no runway to come down.

253
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 10>It's it's still flying. It's flying right over the water.

254
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 10>It's it's flying just at the surface of the water,

255
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.679
<v Speaker 10>scoop in that water up. It's still in flight. It's

256
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 10>not a question is it taking off or whatever. It's

257
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 10>still And I'm.

258
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Assuming that it would only be able to fly over

259
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a body of water where it had. When I say

260
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.919
<v Speaker 2>when I use the word runway, I'm using the word

261
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>runway in sort of a metaphorical sense. It couldn't drop

262
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>down just on a small lake. It would have to

263
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 2>be able to come down. You just can't. You can't

264
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.960
<v Speaker 2>like dive bomb down. You got to have quite a

265
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 2>distance to be able to run.

266
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 10>I assume it's gonna need probably two to three miles

267
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 10>at least, because depending on the airplane and the wait.

268
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 10>But it's it's probably going out over the ocean out

269
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 10>there where you're at. But we have those planes around here.

270
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.600
<v Speaker 10>I'm in northern Lower Michigan, and we have a lot

271
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 10>of wildfires out here. Just as soon as the snow melts,

272
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 10>we have wildfires here that end up going across two

273
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 10>and three counties. But that's that's the that's the way

274
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.720
<v Speaker 10>they do it. And and one of those planes that

275
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 10>they had out there was taken out a commission because

276
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 10>somebody was flying a drone and the drone hit right

277
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 10>on the leading edge of one of those planes and

278
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 10>took one of them out of service. So they only

279
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 10>have two of them now that are available for flight.

280
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure that the plane that it took out

281
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a service was one of these seven thirty sevens, these

282
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:26.039
<v Speaker 2>seven No.

283
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 10>You're right, you're right, it wasn't. It was a red one,

284
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 10>And I don't know. And they probably have those smaller

285
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 10>planes so they can get into smaller lakes.

286
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. The seven thirty sevens are based at Colorado Springs,

287
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.159
<v Speaker 2>which is close to the Air Force Academy, and it

288
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>said it was based at the Colorado Springs Airport. Why

289
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.200
<v Speaker 2>they haven't been They could fly, if they could do it,

290
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>fly right over the Pacific Ocean and run run, you know.

291
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:54.840
<v Speaker 10>And the other thing they have or they have helicopters.

292
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 10>I don't know if those are out there or not,

293
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 10>but they have like these elephant snouts or whatever you

294
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 10>want to call it, or maybe six or eight inches

295
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 10>or ten inches in diameter. They dropped down and they

296
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 10>suck the water up. That takes a lot longer and

297
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.639
<v Speaker 10>they don't carry as much water, but they scooped that

298
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 10>water out and like I say, they did that with

299
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.759

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:02.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of people in a lot of parts of the

321
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.759
<v Speaker 2>country listening to you tonight. It was a very informative

322
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>phone call. The fellaw who sent me the seven twenty

323
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.440

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 10>on the wall. Now I got heard issues and I

332
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 10>can't fly anymore. But I've got it all upstairs. Still

333
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 10>I can still go and fly. I just take an

<v Speaker 2>I'll explain that one as well. We had Laurie and

<v Speaker 2>that you might have missed back on Nightside right after

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>this quick break here on.

367
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 1>At Night's Side with Boston's News Radio.

368
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's keep broller. You're going to go to

369
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Susan in Cambridge. Susan, I suspect you and I are

370
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>looking at this very in a very similar fashion. How

371
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>are you, Susan.

372
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 11>I'm good, I'm good. And I just got to say,

373
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 11>Jerry and Michigan rocks really informative call. Yeah, yeah, I

374
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 11>learned a lot. I just wanted to provide some context

375
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 11>to something that the prior college, Steve had said about

376
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:37.599
<v Speaker 11>the you know, the reservoir being taken offline. And while

377
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 11>you know that may have posted some issues, they didn't

378
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 11>run out of water in like a traditional sense of

379
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.000
<v Speaker 11>like there wasn't enough water. It was an issue of

380
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 11>at elevation they have to put And I missed a

381
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 11>little bit of your prior hour, so I don't know

382
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 11>if this is discussed, but they have these giant tanks

383
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.400
<v Speaker 11>that they have of filled up in the palisades because

384
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 11>you can't you can't just get water from a hydrant

385
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 11>at elevation, that's true, like anywhere, you know. So they

386
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 11>had these giant tanks up there, right, and the tanks

387
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 11>ran dry before they could be refilled. Like it's basically

388
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 11>a long term infrastructure problem. And they hadn't they hadn't

389
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 11>had to deal with stuff in that you know, particular

390
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 11>residential area before where the planes were. The planes couldn't fly,

391
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 11>I mean they were usually yes, there's you know Santa

392
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.039
<v Speaker 11>Ana wins and they kick up, but they usually don't

393
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.359
<v Speaker 11>come on quite so hard and so fast, and so

394
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.079
<v Speaker 11>usually they can get the planes up and do some

395
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.359
<v Speaker 11>preliminary stuff. You know, it's kind of like salting the

396
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.680
<v Speaker 11>roads around here, you know what I mean, like pre treatment,

397
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.720
<v Speaker 11>you know. But they kicked up up, you know, so

398
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.000
<v Speaker 11>viciously that the planes were grounded, and so they had

399
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.680
<v Speaker 11>to rely on you know, just the existing you know

400
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.400
<v Speaker 11>water in those tanks, and they simply couldn't keep up

401
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 11>the refilling with the usage because it was such an

402
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 11>out of control fire.

403
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Well that might be interesting, but and it may have

404
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe absolutely accurate. I'm not an expert on it, but

405
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that's a little consolation to people who watch their houses bright.

406
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this has never happened on this magnitude. There

407
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.559
<v Speaker 2>have been fires in small towns. Remember there was a

408
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.839
<v Speaker 2>fire in a small California town four or five years

409
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.039
<v Speaker 2>ago that I mean it was literally a town that

410
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>right woods, this is Los Angeles, this is suburban Los Angeles,

411
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean right.

412
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 11>Well, but that actually makes it harder to fight because

413
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:59.000
<v Speaker 11>you can't really do it's difficult to do controlled burns

414
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 11>around fidential areas, and they're limited in their seasons. Like

415
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 11>obviously you can't do a control burn in the dry season, right,

416
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:09.799
<v Speaker 11>so you have to do them, you know, in the

417
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 11>wet season. But if the wet season isn't particularly wet

418
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 11>or doesn't last as long, then you can't do it.

419
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 11>And then if you're trying to do it in a

420
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.559
<v Speaker 11>residential area, it's really impossible because.

421
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:25.720
<v Speaker 9>Many dangers or susan.

422
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, you wouldn't want to do a control burn

423
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:33.079
<v Speaker 2>in a residential area. You go in and you get

424
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 2>that stuff out. Now, I'm not an expert in this,

425
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 2>but if this has never happened before, and the people

426
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:47.920
<v Speaker 2>who are in charge, the mayor out there, I guess

427
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 2>in December a month ago, cut the fire budget by

428
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 2>seventeen million dollars.

429
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.880
<v Speaker 11>Okay, I got to give contacts for that.

430
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, of course, because it's a democratic mayor. Go ahead.

431
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, well let's just look, she inherited a budget shortfall.

432
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 11>The fire department actually got like the lowest cut. It

433
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 11>was two percent. The budget is over eight hundred and eighty.

434
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:15.599
<v Speaker 11>Is it million or billion?

435
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>It wouldn't be billion, it wouldn't be billion.

436
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 11>Okay, yeah, okay, million. So so it was a it

437
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker 11>was a two percent cut, it's and it was the

438
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.519
<v Speaker 11>least of like you know, all the departments basically, except

439
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:32.119
<v Speaker 11>I think for police.

440
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Susan. Can I ask you a question, and this is

441
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 2>an honest question, Okay, if this had been a Republican community,

442
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 2>do you think you would have been reaching for as

443
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.119
<v Speaker 2>many excuses as you're reaching for right now. I mean

444
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 2>this in a very gentle way. I'm not trying to

445
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>be difficult.

446
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:49.880
<v Speaker 11>This is well, if it was if it was a

447
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.519
<v Speaker 11>Republican would you be would you not be providing context?

448
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.079
<v Speaker 11>You always provide content. The boneheaded thing that Trump says,

449
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.240
<v Speaker 11>you know, you're always providing context, but you never you

450
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:01.799
<v Speaker 11>never know that for Kamala.

451
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Harris, really well, oh, let me ask you when when

452
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump back in twenty and sixteen, and you've been listening

453
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:13.519
<v Speaker 2>a long time, made the comment the so called Billy

454
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Bush tape, you know, the one I'm talking about. We

455
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.480
<v Speaker 2>talked about grab right private parts. Do you know what

456
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:24.680
<v Speaker 2>my comment was? This was October twenty sixteen. I said,

457
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:27.480
<v Speaker 2>get off the ticket, resign from.

458
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 11>The ticket, right, Okay. But more recently you have provided

459
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 11>context for things like like the things when he said,

460
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.880
<v Speaker 11>you know there's going to be blood you know, I

461
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.799
<v Speaker 11>don't know bloodshed or something like that, and you provided

462
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 11>context for what he said.

463
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I have what you're talking about there. Look, I am

464
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 2>not a Trump person, as I think.

465
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 9>You know you're not.

466
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:52.240
<v Speaker 2>You probably know that, Okay.

467
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.079
<v Speaker 11>So I even don't provide context for Democrats.

468
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.599
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we all have biases, Dan, But what I'm

469
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 6>saying is you just had But Susan, this is a

470
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.559
<v Speaker 6>devastating lack of leadership, A devastating This is.

471
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.119
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of anything that has hit me harder

472
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in terms. I looked at what happened in Hawaii and

473
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.279
<v Speaker 2>I was I felt concerned about that. But but it

474
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.200
<v Speaker 2>is now starting to percolate up that they were budget

475
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 2>counts seventeen you know, billion dollars, not billion dollars, seventeen

476
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>million dollars. That's a lot of money. That's a lot

477
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>of money. And all I'm just saying is that you

478
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 2>have you have, you have news him out there, the governor.

479
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Thank god, you finally elected a district attorney in Los Angeles,

480
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.799
<v Speaker 2>this fellow Nathan Haukshman, Huckman, who apparently is willing to

481
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>enforce the law. And if anybody's out there scamming or looting,

482
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna they're gonna end up in jail. I don't

483
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.000
<v Speaker 2>think Gascon would have put them in jail anyway. I

484
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>don't provide a context for Trump. Never have, uh never will.

485
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I've said when my comment is about Trump, as I

486
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 2>think you heard me say this a million times, he

487
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 2>could hire competent people, and he could hire some people

488
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 2>who were loyal, but he couldn't hire people who were

489
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>both competent and loyal, which is a devastating criticism because

490
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:24.240
<v Speaker 2>if you confinde find people who are both competent and loyal,

491
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't be the president of the United States.

492
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 11>Okay, I would submit that anyone who's who's going to

493
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.960
<v Speaker 11>pass his loyalty test is probably not going to be

494
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:36.079
<v Speaker 11>particularly competent.

495
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, that may be, And that's my comment. And if

496
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 2>you if you consider that that I'm providing context to

497
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.880
<v Speaker 2>defending him, I think you're mistaken. Anyway, Good luck with

498
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Karen Bass. She decided to take a little trip as

499
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 2>as the mayor of Los Angeles to a celebration of

500
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.680
<v Speaker 2>presidential inauguration in Ghana, and was she was out of

501
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>town when Harold Washington was out of town on a

502
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>blizzard in Chicago. Uh, that was not nearly as predictable

503
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 2>as this. You knew the Santa Anna wins were coming.

504
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 2>And then you have you have Governor Newsom. This is

505
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the end of his career right there. Period. This is

506
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 2>going to be tattooed on his political resume forever. So

507
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.799
<v Speaker 2>find yourself a new front runner for twenty twenty eight.

508
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.799
<v Speaker 11>Susan, Well, he was never my choice anyway. So well,

509
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.720
<v Speaker 11>but may have been some you know, some issues, but

510
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 11>can we not overlook this. This is an unprecedented natural disaster.

511
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 11>You know, I didn't see people in you know, western

512
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:46.079
<v Speaker 11>North Carolina, you know, well they were they were, I mean,

513
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:48.720
<v Speaker 11>people on the right were blaming you know, we're claiming

514
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Speaker 11>that you know, the government was controlling the weather and

515
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 11>creating oh wha, wha wha was waste.

516
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:59.319
<v Speaker 2>There was a woman who worked for THEEMA who testified

517
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 2>in front of car Ungress that she had been instructed

518
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 2>not to provide assistance to people who had Trump signs

519
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 2>of support on their homes.

520
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 11>People from Shima were being threatened by people with Trump signs.

521
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:16.799
<v Speaker 11>There were people I.

522
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Can just imagine that. I can imagine that. Susan. Oh

523
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>my god, Susan, I got a run. Thanks very much,

524
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 2>this was not your greatest call. Okay, thank you much,

525
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it, all right, Oh God, Daryln Brunswick in New Brunswick, Daryl,

526
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:31.920
<v Speaker 2>welcome back.

527
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:33.440
<v Speaker 3>How are you hey?

528
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.759
<v Speaker 9>Dan? I was just calling in to Kauflman and Jerry

529
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.759
<v Speaker 9>reference the aircraft for water bombing. Yes, he did great

530
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 9>and great and also Gaylord is a great area. They

531
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 9>got a great place where you order anything and you

532
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:48.759
<v Speaker 9>get a pound of bacon every order.

533
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:50.960
<v Speaker 3>All right, that's good.

534
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.359
<v Speaker 9>Don't know what I'm talking about, but anyways, a serial

535
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:58.839
<v Speaker 9>two fifteen's they're actually made out of Canada. Canada there,

536
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 9>and uh what they do is they have scoops on

537
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 9>the very bottom. Like Jerry was saying, but they also

538
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.240
<v Speaker 9>have a relief mechanism so that way they don't overflow.

539
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 9>So they don't because they have the boat for an end.

540
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Right.

541
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, again, I gotta be honest with you. I'm not

542
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 2>an expert in this one, Darryl at all, and any

543
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.720
<v Speaker 2>uh any information. I thought Jerry explained it pretty well.

544
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize that these planes literally, uh skim the

545
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:31.279
<v Speaker 2>surface of a body of water to ingest upwards of

546
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 2>a million gallons of water onto the plane and they

547
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.240
<v Speaker 2>still can stay, they still can gain altitude after that.

548
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>It's it's amazing. One of my listeners like.

549
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.599
<v Speaker 9>The old what they're like, the old p B PB wise.

550
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the pb wise. You're right, Darrel, I forgot about those. Yeah,

551
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.519
<v Speaker 2>they're similar to the r X fours too, by the way.

552
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think the x W threes I think they're

553
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:01.920
<v Speaker 2>in the same category, don't Darryl. Thanks thanks man, I

554
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 2>gotta run talk soon. Thanks bye bye. Oh come on, folks,

557
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:17.720

558
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 2>their political careers are at an end at this point

559
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 2>as of the preparations. This is devastating. And anyone who

560
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:29.039
<v Speaker 2>wants to call and make excuses for these these fools,

561

<v Speaker 2>uh and and Susan is better than that. And I

577
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:31.720
<v Speaker 8>there's no way eight pounds a gallon. There's no way

578
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.559
<v Speaker 8>a planet could lift that.

579
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no way, be real, right, Okay, let me tell

580
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>you what someone sent me. A guy who occasionally communicates

581
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 2>with me sent me pictures, and I'm going to find

582
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:50.759
<v Speaker 2>them here because I want you to understand I'm.

583
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 8>Not nice to say one the biggest plane in the

584
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 8>world can carry a load of two hundred and forty

585
00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:01.920
<v Speaker 8>ton Okay, that's the biggest plane in the world.

586
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's good to know.

587
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 8>Milliam a million gallons of water is it's it's not

588
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:13.480
<v Speaker 8>even feasible. You can't even what never couldn't even happen.

589
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, let me let me see if I can

590
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:17.119
<v Speaker 2>find these.

591
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.079
<v Speaker 8>Let me see if these are This fire is, like

592
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 8>you said, devastating, and they should have been prepared for this,

593
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 8>they speak, there should be water lines coming from the ocean.

594
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 8>Whatever they have to do.

595
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So the plane that was that that I received,

596
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.119
<v Speaker 2>and the fellow who sent the information to me is

597
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:39.160
<v Speaker 2>pretty sharp, dude. It's called the seven forty seven Supertanker.

598
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:43.200
<v Speaker 2>The seven forty seven to Supertanker is a retired aerial

599
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:49.000
<v Speaker 2>firefighting air tanker derived from various Boeing seven forty seven models.

600
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:56.119
<v Speaker 2>The aircraft's rated up to carry nineteen uh nineteen thousand

601
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 2>US gallons.

602
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 8>Right thousand gallons. Yeah, that's not nearly a million.

603
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I understand that somebody mentioned that, and I

604
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:07.440
<v Speaker 2>should have caught it to be.

605
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.960
<v Speaker 8>Water and a lot of weight.

606
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah. And that's just trying to figure out.

607
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:19.039
<v Speaker 8>That the spires burned so hot that the water hardly

608
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:23.920
<v Speaker 8>does anything. Really, it's you know, it's the winds are

609
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 8>so fast and like, you know, you can't control the weather,

610
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 8>but in the wind.

611
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will, I just say this. The Santa Anna

612
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 2>winds are very predictable. They happened every year in California.

613
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Now they may have happened with more intensity, but California

614
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>should have been on the alert. Remember how we had

615
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 2>some drought this summer. We had rained that August, and

616
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 2>then we had nothing in September, October into November, and

617
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 2>we had a whole bunch of brush fires around the state.

618
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Uh and and and then then we did get rain.

619
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>They hadn't had any substantial rain, I believe, since May.

620
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:06.960
<v Speaker 9>And that.

621
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:13.000
<v Speaker 2>You have the mayor who flies off to a presidential

622
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:21.079
<v Speaker 2>inauguration in Ghana, Ghana. I mean, so you're former congresswoman

623
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Congress Mayor Bass, and you have the guy out there

624
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:33.920
<v Speaker 2>who's been running for President Governor Gavin Newsom, and they

625
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 2>cut they cut the fire budget by seventeen million dollars.

626
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 8>I mean that that's such a bad move. I mean, well,

627
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.880
<v Speaker 8>where's all this money go to the people who are

628
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.679
<v Speaker 8>coming in from the border. Well, it doesn't go to

629
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.760
<v Speaker 8>the homeless people or anything like that. They waste money

630
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:56.079
<v Speaker 8>and it's terrible that they don't have fire control out

631
00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 8>their prevention and they just they spend money. Stupid.

632
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.320
<v Speaker 2>They also appearently not clear out a lot of underbrush.

633
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:06.480
<v Speaker 2>And you know, people were talking about having controlled burns.

634
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't you kind of have a controlled burn neighborhood.

635
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:11.440
<v Speaker 8>No, not like that, Not like that. They got to

636
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 8>you know, you go in with the army, the core

637
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.880
<v Speaker 8>or whatever and clean it up, you know, to chip

638
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 8>it up and you know, make make guidance out of

639
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 8>it whatever. But you have to take care of it.

640
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:26.960
<v Speaker 8>You don't see that stuff happening out here. And there's

641
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 8>a lot of debris in the woods too, a lot

642
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 8>of trees down, A lot of fire could happen, but

643
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker 8>we don't. I mean, we had winds this week, but

644
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:39.480
<v Speaker 8>not like they have a California hundred miles an hour. Yeah,

645
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 8>I mean that's that's a there's plenty of fuel for

646
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:46.519
<v Speaker 8>that fire to burn, and you throw that winding with

647
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:49.719
<v Speaker 8>that oxygen. It's burning so hot it can't stop it.

648
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 8>It makes its own storm. It's it's and then what

649
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 8>scares me is that it's not gonna go west. It's

650
00:35:58.280 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 8>gonna come east, and that's where.

651
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.360
<v Speaker 2>We It's like, well, I think, well, I think that

652
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:08.400
<v Speaker 2>we geographically are protected in the sense that in New

653
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:13.480
<v Speaker 2>England we have of all the weather patterns around the country.

654
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.400
<v Speaker 2>We have blizzards, we have hurricanes. Yeah, we get that.

655
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we get you know, big time marine storms.

656
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 8>We haven't had a while.

657
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, we've had a lot of rain in the last

658
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:26.800
<v Speaker 2>month and a half. Believe me, we actually it turned out.

659
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I believe that in twenty in twenty twenty four, we

660
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:33.639
<v Speaker 2>actually had uh more inches of rain in the Boston

661
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:36.800
<v Speaker 2>area than on average.

662
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:41.000
<v Speaker 8>After even with all, I heard on WPZ this morning

663
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:47.360
<v Speaker 8>that they just lifted the burning or the du roat. Yeah,

664
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 8>in the west of Massachusetts today.

665
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I get that. Yeah, And obviously the what I'm saying

666
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.760
<v Speaker 2>is at the end of the day here we we

667
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:58.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of dodged a bullet, is what I guess. But

668
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.360
<v Speaker 2>we're both agreeing upon. Hey, look, I appreciate you all day.

669
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much. Appreciate Yeah. Absolutely, you'll go to

670
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Mike and MITHU and Mike you might wrap us up here.

671
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Mike, Hey, I'm doing just great. What's your

672
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:13.519
<v Speaker 2>take on all of this?

673
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.239
<v Speaker 8>I agree?

674
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:25.440
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, terrible. Look that it was, you know, a couple

675
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.599
<v Speaker 12>of years ago we saw pictures of this, so you know,

676
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:33.159
<v Speaker 12>it was a freak accident once, but it can't be

677
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:36.920
<v Speaker 12>a freak accident twice. Kind of fool me once. Shame

678
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:37.719
<v Speaker 12>on you and pull me.

679
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 2>There happened fires before you had the fire in Hawaii

680
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago, which again there was a

681
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:51.400
<v Speaker 2>weather situation out there and I guess they had some

682
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.239
<v Speaker 2>high winds and it got going and uh and they

683
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.039
<v Speaker 2>did have some fires previously in California. I know there

684
00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 2>was a small town that was devastated, but this is

685
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:02.159
<v Speaker 2>a big city.

686
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 12>Who did anything like this, No, And I just I

687
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.880
<v Speaker 12>pray for all the people out there, and I just

688
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 12>I was at the doctor Goblin and I just saw

689
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:18.039
<v Speaker 12>that you know, they're setting up you know, donation mines

690
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.079
<v Speaker 12>and things like that. So that's one thing we can

691
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:21.760
<v Speaker 12>be hopeful for.

692
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:23.079
<v Speaker 3>But I do.

693
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:25.000
<v Speaker 12>Go ahead.

694
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.079
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm just saying, you look at these people, and

695
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, when we have a fire back here and

696
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:35.519
<v Speaker 2>there's a family that loses everything, or for that matter,

697
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:39.360
<v Speaker 2>an apartment building. I was watching the news tonight there

698
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.440
<v Speaker 2>was an apartment building I think it was in Fall River.

699
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen people or have to find a new place to live,

700
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:49.599
<v Speaker 2>and they may have lost a lot of their worldly possessions.

701
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.000
<v Speaker 2>But fifteen people, they can go to Red Cross, they

702
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.920
<v Speaker 2>can go to Salvation Army. There's Catholic charities, there's a

703
00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:59.840
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of charitable organizations that help people get back

704
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.039
<v Speaker 2>their feet. But there are thousands of families that have

705
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:09.159
<v Speaker 2>lost everything in California. I mean, the scope of this

706
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:12.239
<v Speaker 2>is monumental. I don't know.

707
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:18.400
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I agree, I don't know how you recover. I

708
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 12>really don't. Because they're using seawater, which is salting earth.

709
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:25.679
<v Speaker 12>So you got one bad choice or another.

710
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. They were saying that that even if they could

711
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:36.079
<v Speaker 2>have scooped seawater out, it could have had an adverse

712
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:39.960
<v Speaker 2>impact on some of the the planes end or helicopters.

713
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:43.599
<v Speaker 2>I I'm not a smart enough person kept from a

714
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.599
<v Speaker 2>chemical point of view, to understand. I do understand that

715
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:51.280
<v Speaker 2>that that seawater is corrosive, and anyone who lives near

716
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:55.679
<v Speaker 2>uh the Atlantic Ocean knows exactly what what what I'm

717
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.960
<v Speaker 2>talking about there, But boy, this is I just think

718
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:06.400
<v Speaker 2>there's such a lack of leadership. California has has has

719
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.639
<v Speaker 2>been bereft of leadership for a long time. And uh,

720
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:15.239
<v Speaker 2>there were some bad decisions made here and now mother

721
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:22.880
<v Speaker 2>nature wake up. I sure hope so too. And uh, look,

722
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.360
<v Speaker 2>we all kind of go along. We get up every day,

723
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.199
<v Speaker 2>we work, we pay our taxes, We don't think about things,

724
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.920
<v Speaker 2>but there are decisions that are made by government that

725
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 2>have long term implications. You know, what happened, what happened

726
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.239
<v Speaker 2>in North Carolina was this this superstorm that came up

727
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and there was and it happened to hit a poor

728
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:47.519
<v Speaker 2>section of western North Carolina. Totally different. It's it's frightening.

729
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.239
<v Speaker 2>It's just frightening. And I think all of us need

730
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.079
<v Speaker 2>to pray for these people and and hope that nothing

731
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.239
<v Speaker 2>like this ever happens again, or at least we get

732
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.360
<v Speaker 2>some better political leadership at California.

733
00:40:58.679 --> 00:40:59.239
<v Speaker 10>I agree.

734
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:02.280
<v Speaker 12>Just one thing for all the listeners, with.

735
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Your listeners out there, yep, let's be prepared.

736
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.119
<v Speaker 12>Let's let's make emergency catch for ourselves just in case.

737
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely What do you what do you do if your

738
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:15.159
<v Speaker 2>house goes on fire? What do you grab? And you

739
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:17.239
<v Speaker 2>don't have a lot of time? You know, those people

740
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:20.599
<v Speaker 2>had a matter of minute or two to get out

741
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:21.159
<v Speaker 2>of their house.

742
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.280
<v Speaker 12>I'm gonna think about that an idea.

743
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:26.880
