Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: This MORALFI AM six forty more stimulating talk. Didn't want
Speaker 2: to talk fire for just a moment. You heard the
Speaker 2: Conway's promo that some of the firefighters are showing high
Speaker 2: levels of lead and mercury, the ones that fought the
Speaker 2: eating in the Palisades fires, which makes you wonder how
Speaker 2: they got that. What's where did it come from? They
Speaker 2: were breathing into smoke. The smoke obviously had levels of
Speaker 2: lead and mercury in it, and it makes you wonder
Speaker 2: what contained it that burned and then what's the word
Speaker 2: a rated that I guess not aer rated, vaporized it
Speaker 2: and then put it into the smoke. But we are
Speaker 2: seeing calfires come out, and they said fire risk is
Speaker 2: higher in far more areas than what we have said
Speaker 2: in the past. KTLA was reporting on the new fire.
Speaker 3: Map well three minutes after wildfires ravaged our region. Cal
Speaker 3: Fire has released updated fire maps for southern California.
Speaker 4: This marks the first.
Speaker 3: Time they have been updated in more than a decade.
Speaker 3: The maps are piled by the State Forestry and Fire
Speaker 3: Protection Department and designate three levels of fire hazards. Moderate high,
Speaker 3: and very high. This is based on variables like vegetation, terrain,
Speaker 3: and recent burn history. Updated maps for fifteen counties in
Speaker 3: central California were released two weeks ago and more than
Speaker 3: one point two million acres were added into the hazard zones.
Speaker 2: All right, and a total of three and a half
Speaker 2: million acres statewide.
Speaker 4: Now here's where this gets interesting.
Speaker 2: According to Orange County Register, new fire hazard zones appear
Speaker 2: to leave out at least half of the neighborhoods that
Speaker 2: were burned during the Eton fire. So you have people
Speaker 2: that live in areas that were decimated by fire, and
Speaker 2: cal Fire has not added those neighborhoods to any sort
Speaker 2: of even moderate risk area. The State Forestry and Fire
Speaker 2: Protection Department compiled the maps. They indicate where the probability
Speaker 2: of the fire is the greatest of the next thirty
Speaker 2: to fifty years. And then with that you have to
Speaker 2: consider the different potential implications for rebuilding, and some of
Speaker 2: the homes and businesses that are rebuilding are we're gonna
Speaker 2: have new building codes because of the new hazards that
Speaker 2: would extend the hazard map, extend some of the susceptible
Speaker 2: areas a little bit.
Speaker 4: Further into the communities.
Speaker 2: And again when you talk about the new building codes,
Speaker 2: I think there need to be some changes. Some changes
Speaker 2: have been entered into the new building codes, including some
Speaker 2: of the fire or what is it, the ember resistant vents,
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. You have to wonder about some
Speaker 2: of the building materials. Again, talking back on the firefighters
Speaker 2: that inhaled lead and mercury.
Speaker 4: Will there be.
Speaker 2: Will there be codes that address materials that are being
Speaker 2: used to make sure that they don't have any of
Speaker 2: those happiness metals that are a part of those I
Speaker 2: have to wonder how much this is going to delay
Speaker 2: some of the rebuilding efforts, how much additional cost this
Speaker 2: may put on some of the additional building efforts in Altadena.
Speaker 2: Hazard maps released at least fourteen years ago designated just
Speaker 2: three to six blocks along the northern edge of the
Speaker 2: neighborhoods as being a very high fire severity zone, and
Speaker 2: the previous map on they had a very small strip
Speaker 2: along the foothills in the bottom of the mountains. They've
Speaker 2: extended those a bit further, but as we know, the
Speaker 2: fire moved further into Altadena than even what these.
Speaker 4: Maps had projected in the past.
Speaker 2: If we were to equate this to a different natural threat.
Speaker 2: You know that when you buy a house, you have
Speaker 2: to determine whether or not it's in a flood zone.
Speaker 2: Some areas are high, you know, high flood risk areas.
Speaker 2: Others are not high flood risk areas. So imagine if
Speaker 2: you have a home that's in a moderate flood risk area,
Speaker 2: and and so you have to have certain codes, you
Speaker 2: have to have certain selance along the foundation of your home,
Speaker 2: whatever that might be. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you have this massive flood that comes through and it
Speaker 2: decimates a home, and it creates all kinds of havoc
Speaker 2: and you have to be evacuated. And then they come
Speaker 2: out with a new flood risk map and they go, yeah,
Speaker 2: but this home that was just deemed to be a
Speaker 2: flood loss, that's not really in a dangerous area. Imagine
Speaker 2: if after Katrina, evaluators went through New Orleans and they said, well,
Speaker 2: this whole ninth Ward that was underwater, that's not really
Speaker 2: a high risk area. We would say, we're still draining.
Speaker 2: How do you say it's not a high risk area.
Speaker 2: We're still draining the water from the flood. In the
Speaker 2: same way we're saying, how do you say this is
Speaker 2: not a high risk area. We're still shoveling ashes. How
Speaker 2: is this not high fire risk. I'm still sifting through
Speaker 2: the remains of what used to be my house, and
Speaker 2: you're telling me there isn't a high fire risk.
Speaker 4: There is a high fire risk. And so some people
Speaker 4: are saying swing and a miss. Okay, if I.
Speaker 2: Am six forty were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2: Okay, if I AM six forty, more stimulating talk, Chris Merril.
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was talking with you about this twenty three
Speaker 2: and Me filing for bankruptcy.
Speaker 4: Maybe you remember the story ABC seven was reporting.
Speaker 5: On aenetic testing company. Twenty three and Me has now
Speaker 5: filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection. The firm, valued at
Speaker 5: fifty million dollars, is pushing for a buyout. So far,
Speaker 5: the board has rejected all offers, now saying a court
Speaker 5: supervised sale is the.
Speaker 4: Best path forward.
Speaker 5: Twenty three and Me will continue operations during this process. This,
Speaker 5: of course, comes just one day after California Attorney General
Speaker 5: Rob Bonda issued a consumer alert about the potential of
Speaker 5: this very thing happening, reminding customers consider invoking their rights
Speaker 5: to have twenty three and meter delete their data and
Speaker 5: destroy genetic sampler.
Speaker 2: Yeah, destroy genetic examples. That means rinse. You're spitting down
Speaker 2: the sink, because what happens is you spit in the tube,
Speaker 2: you mail it to them, and then they keep it
Speaker 2: and they've got a big safe.
Speaker 4: I'm not joking.
Speaker 2: They have a big vault filled with little samples of
Speaker 2: spittle and they hang on to that stuff, and then
Speaker 2: they have the analysis comes out, and then that data
Speaker 2: is stored on their servers. And what happens is you
Speaker 2: can access the data, you can download that data, you
Speaker 2: can save your data. So while Rob Bonta says you
Speaker 2: should delete the data, exercise your right to delete the data,
Speaker 2: you can download your data so that you will still
Speaker 2: have access to it. But it does get a bit
Speaker 2: more complicated than that. And I talked about this yesterday
Speaker 2: and I said, I wonder what's gonna happen with all
Speaker 2: these you know, what's gonna happen with the samples, what's
Speaker 2: gonna happen with the with the data? With everybody's portfolio
Speaker 2: of of of their information. Because twenty three and meters
Speaker 2: will like other genetic testing companies. They you can use
Speaker 2: that information and twenty three meters the second largest beyond ancestry.
Speaker 2: You can use that information to evaluate some of your
Speaker 2: health risks. That's twenty three and meters. Big thing is
Speaker 2: that they do the genetic testing, so you can see
Speaker 2: do I have a higher risk of, say, breast cancer,
Speaker 2: do I have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's, whatever
Speaker 2: it might be, and then you can use that accordingly
Speaker 2: so that you can plan your life out and then
Speaker 2: make sure your funeral plans are in place. You don't
Speaker 2: have to rely on your terrible children because they stopped
Speaker 2: loving you the minute that they moved out. So what
Speaker 2: happens with your info? Though, even if you download it,
Speaker 2: if you're someone that uses it for genetic testing, right,
Speaker 2: you've got it. If you're somebody that uses that for
Speaker 2: piecing together, say a family tree, you're going to lose
Speaker 2: the tree what you can do.
Speaker 4: You're gonna lose the connections.
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose the details on it because as everyone
Speaker 2: is deleting their information from it, all of a sudden
Speaker 2: it no longer connects on their database. So suppose that
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use a simple example here. Suppose that it's
Speaker 2: you and your sibling and you've both spit in a
Speaker 2: tube and you mail it in, and then you've got
Speaker 2: a profile that says here's your profile, and you you say,
Speaker 2: am I matching with anyone else who's made their profile
Speaker 2: available for potential mask matching? And it says, actually, your
Speaker 2: your profile matches your siblings. So your your brother or
Speaker 2: your sister here it is.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Imagine that your brother or your sister deletes their profile,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it no longer matches you.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 2: So what some people are doing right now is they're
Speaker 2: taking screenshots of those matches. Because even if you if
Speaker 2: you download your profile, it is not showing any connections
Speaker 2: because your profile on your your computer, your cloud, whoever
Speaker 2: you say it, if it is not tied with theirs,
Speaker 2: then it doesn't it doesn't show that connection any longer.
Speaker 2: So some people are taking some screenshots ahead of time
Speaker 2: to say, oh, I want to make sure I don't
Speaker 2: lose my great great great great uncle and find out
Speaker 2: you know that they came over on a boat from Norway.
Speaker 2: So they're they're taking screenshots before a bunch of data
Speaker 2: gets deleted. You don't necessarily need to delete it quite yet.
Speaker 2: Bonta is warning you you could take you could take
Speaker 2: advantage of this. You should do it. If the sale
Speaker 2: goes through and you're concerned about where that data might go,
Speaker 2: you can delete it. You can't take care of it
Speaker 2: right now if you want, you can take care of
Speaker 2: it in the future. But there are there are some
Speaker 2: questions and if they end up going dark, then you
Speaker 2: can delete it also. That'll be part of any bankruptcy filing,
Speaker 2: is to make sure that the eyes are dotted.
Speaker 4: And the t's are crossed.
Speaker 2: Don't know if they're going to actually liquidate though, because
Speaker 2: the co founder, who owns forty nine percent of the stock,
Speaker 2: she's part of the group that keeps blocking the sale
Speaker 2: because she wants to buy it. Twenty three meters used
Speaker 2: to be worth, by the way, six billion dollars. Now
Speaker 2: it's only worth fifty million because they had a data
Speaker 2: breach in twenty twenty three and people freaked out as
Speaker 2: well they should, because not only would you be losing
Speaker 2: your social security information and things like that, but all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, people aren't literally seeing what your DNA is.
Speaker 4: Made up of.
Speaker 2: You talk about identity theft. Okay, if I AM six forty.
Speaker 2: We live everywhere on the iHeart rad app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand, KFI.
Speaker 2: AM sixty on demand anytime the iHeartRadio App. For those
Speaker 2: of you that want the death penalty back, good news.
Speaker 2: It sounds like the district attorney says, yep, we need
Speaker 2: to have the death penalty. Remember Hakman ran on this.
Speaker 2: He says, we're gonna bring that death penalty back. We're
Speaker 2: going to make sure that the consequences for the most
Speaker 2: severe crime are in fact the most severe of penalties.
Speaker 4: And so he says, it is back. Baby. The thing is,
Speaker 4: is it.
Speaker 2: Probably not here ABC seven was talking about this. We'll
Speaker 2: let them sort of explain it and we'll we'll dive
Speaker 2: into it here.
Speaker 6: This, of course, is a major policy change, and it
Speaker 6: is effective immediately meeting when appropriate, LA County prosecutors could
Speaker 6: once again receive the go ahead to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 6: I just spoke to DA Nathan Haffman this afternoon about
Speaker 6: his announcem, and he explained the exceedingly rare cases when
Speaker 6: something like this might come into play.
Speaker 7: Let me give you two examples. If we were to
Speaker 7: have a Sandy Hook type of situation and over twenty
Speaker 7: school kids got murdered by a vicious murderer, or we
Speaker 7: had a Las Vegas situation and over fifty people were
Speaker 7: to be gunned down by a sniper. In those situations,
Speaker 7: the death penalty would be back on the table for consideration.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm a problem with that.
Speaker 2: I actually kind of like the way California does it,
Speaker 2: where the only way you can have the death penalty
Speaker 2: is if it is murdered with some special circumstances. I
Speaker 2: know some states are trying to put the death penalty
Speaker 2: on the table for you know, kitty diddlers and things
Speaker 2: like that, but I just feel like that when it
Speaker 2: comes to the death penalty, that is the most severe
Speaker 2: of all penalties and it really needs to be reserved
Speaker 2: for the most severe of all cases. Feel free to disagree,
Speaker 2: but I kind of like the way that the California
Speaker 2: does it. It's not off the table, but it is
Speaker 2: it is exceedingly rare. Serial killers, mass killers, that kind
Speaker 2: of thing feels more appropriate to me. That said, are
Speaker 2: we really going to see it?
Speaker 6: Hawkmann says prosecutors may call for the death penalty in
Speaker 6: special circumstance murder cases and says it will only be
Speaker 6: pursued after an extensive and comprehensive review. Under the prior
Speaker 6: Da George Gascone, seeking the death penalty was off the table.
Speaker 6: Keep it to mind, the last execution in the state
Speaker 6: of California was back in two thousand and six, and
Speaker 6: since twenty nineteen, Governor Newsom has had a moratorium on executions.
Speaker 4: And that's why.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's back, you could prosecute, you're going to
Speaker 2: ask for it. But we've had courts that have said
Speaker 2: that our death penalty in California is effectively cruel and
Speaker 2: unusual because it is not actually a death sentence.
Speaker 4: It is a little it's a little bit strange. It
Speaker 4: feels like.
Speaker 2: It feels like there's some cognitive dissonance going on here
Speaker 2: because a judge said that the death penalty in California
Speaker 2: is cruel and unusual because we're not putting people to death. Well,
Speaker 2: here's the logic behind that. The logic is that when
Speaker 2: you condemn someone to death, but then you put them
Speaker 2: on death row and they spend twenty thirty forty years.
Speaker 2: The judge said that the death sentence in California is
Speaker 2: more like life in prison with the possibility of execution.
Speaker 2: In other words, you are being told that your penalty
Speaker 2: is one thing, but then it just looms over you
Speaker 2: for the next few decades. Now, imagine you're somebody who
Speaker 2: was sentenced to death in the mid nineties or even
Speaker 2: perhaps the mid eighties, and you have gone through the
Speaker 2: appeals process, and that appeals process can take decades in
Speaker 2: and of itself, So then you get to Okay, well
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 4: You've exhausted all of your Now you really are on
Speaker 4: death row.
Speaker 2: We haven't had an execution since two thousand and six,
Speaker 2: which means we've got people on death row that have
Speaker 2: been there for forty plus years. I mean, the majority
Speaker 2: of people on death row in California will die of
Speaker 2: natural causes before they die from lethal injection.
Speaker 4: It's just that's a fact.
Speaker 2: So even when you've got Hawkman saying we're going to
Speaker 2: bring the death penalty back, what it is is merely
Speaker 2: an argument in the penalty phase of the of the trial.
Speaker 2: Because Newsom says, moratorium that's been going on for the
Speaker 2: last six years. We are almost twenty years since the
Speaker 2: last actual execution. And again, even if you are sentenced
Speaker 2: to death, you're probably going to go through an exhaustive
Speaker 2: appeals process that is going to take decades, and by
Speaker 2: then will we even still have the death penalty in California?
Speaker 2: By then, will we have another governor who wants to
Speaker 2: put a moratorium on it. I just it feels very
Speaker 2: political to me. It doesn't feel like it's practice.
Speaker 6: Newsom's saying it's a moral and costly the tax payers.
Speaker 6: I also spoke this afternoon to our legal expert. I
Speaker 6: asked him about the true impact if and when a
Speaker 6: new death penalty sentence is reached in La County.
Speaker 4: And again this is from ABC seven.
Speaker 8: End of the day, Newsom's moratorium is still in effect.
Speaker 4: So it is.
Speaker 8: Call it a political move, call it whatever you know.
Speaker 8: I know that there are other counties that are still
Speaker 8: sentencing people to death, but there, you know, nothing's being
Speaker 8: done as far as the actual application, you know, enforcement
Speaker 8: of that penalty in California.
Speaker 2: All right, So is it political? Yeah, of course he's
Speaker 2: fulfilling a campaign promise. But there may be a long
Speaker 2: game here.
Speaker 4: So imagine, if you've got.
Speaker 2: The the top prosecutor in the biggest county in the West.
Speaker 2: I just hear the biggest population wise in the right
Speaker 2: massive and now imagine that you've got to prosecute and
Speaker 2: says we're not gonna do the death penalty, okay, which
Speaker 2: we had with gascon all right, so is there any
Speaker 2: is there any push for it, Is there any momentum? No,
Speaker 2: that stalls the momentum. So while it may be political,
Speaker 2: and you may have Hawkmann following through and saying, yeah, listen,
Speaker 2: this was my promise, and now a promise has made promises,
Speaker 2: cap blah blah blah, it does add to the growing
Speaker 2: list of counties that have said we want to bring
Speaker 2: the death penalty back, and it does put pressure on
Speaker 2: a future governor to maybe hold off on another moratorium
Speaker 2: like Newsom has even and I don't think anybody believes
Speaker 2: that we're likely to see a GOP rising in California
Speaker 2: anytime soon.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it can't happen.
Speaker 2: Of course, We've seen that happen in a number of
Speaker 2: different states, but I'm not saying it's probably not gonna
Speaker 2: happen anytime soon. However, is it possible that the next
Speaker 2: governor is someone who may want.
Speaker 4: To end that moratorium.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're liberal on some issues, but when it comes
Speaker 2: to the death penalty, they go. Yeah, I can see
Speaker 2: it being practical, and I've got the support of the
Speaker 2: DA in Los Angeles. I've got the support of the
Speaker 2: DA in and I'm not gonna I don't know which
Speaker 2: other counties have it. I would assume more of the
Speaker 2: more conservative counties have have.
Speaker 4: Sentences for death penalty.
Speaker 2: So while it may seem political now, the political impact
Speaker 2: could have practical impacts in the future.
Speaker 4: That's all I got on that one.
Speaker 2: K I AM six forty Chris Merril live everywhere in
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand k
Speaker 1: if I AM six forty.
Speaker 4: More E Stimulating Talk Chris Merrill.
Speaker 2: The people who are cleaning up from the fires are
Speaker 2: finding that they've got another kind of infestation.
Speaker 4: Kykel was talking with one of the homeowners there.
Speaker 9: Betsy CON's dipping pool is not massive, but it could
Speaker 9: still be a massive problem, as the once clear water
Speaker 9: has now turned green and bubbly filled with who knows what,
Speaker 9: since it can't be maintained.
Speaker 10: The machinery burnt down, there's no electricity, there's no water
Speaker 10: source to change out the water that's in it now
Speaker 10: that's full of all the toxicity that just fell in
Speaker 10: as the house.
Speaker 9: Was burning in short time. Experts say pools in the
Speaker 9: fire zones have turned into natural ponds full of murky,
Speaker 9: stagnant water, perfect condition for mosquitoes to grow.
Speaker 2: Ah come on man as insult to injury.
Speaker 9: They are worried about more than twelve hundred swimming pools
Speaker 9: and the Eaton fire burn area alone, maybe fourteen hundred
Speaker 9: more nearby also filled with ash and debris.
Speaker 4: All right, so you've got all those pools and what
Speaker 4: is it.
Speaker 2: You can have about sixty billion mosquitos in one teaspoon
Speaker 2: of water, and so that means that we will have
Speaker 2: wet a quadrillion, sextillion, septilian to.
Speaker 4: Deca trillion, deca jillion. It can be a lot of mosquitoes.
Speaker 9: Jason Farnett is with the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and
Speaker 9: Vector Control District.
Speaker 11: Well, one swimming pool can breed up to a million
Speaker 11: mosquitos or grow up to a million mosquitos in one month.
Speaker 11: So with thousands of swimming pools in that area, we
Speaker 11: think that it could could be a significant.
Speaker 9: Increase millions more mosquitoes that could spread diseases like westnole
Speaker 9: virus or dan gay Oh yeah, or.
Speaker 4: Just irritate you and fly around your ear when you're
Speaker 4: trying to fall asleep.
Speaker 12: Twenty twenty three, we got the very first locally transmitted
Speaker 12: case of dangay fever in Pasadena, and we had more
Speaker 12: cases last year the following year.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you just lost your house.
Speaker 2: You had this devastating fire come through, you were evacuated,
Speaker 2: you had to stay in some sort of temporary housing,
Speaker 2: be it a hotel, a motel, a friend's place, a backyard,
Speaker 2: a tent, an RV, I don't know, but you're staying
Speaker 2: in some sort of a temporary place and you're trying
Speaker 2: to sort things out with the your insurance company, and
Speaker 2: the insurance company is trying to say, well, you know,
Speaker 2: we didn't start the fire. It was always burning since
Speaker 2: the world's been turning. And then you are trying to
Speaker 2: argue with them over who's going to replace it, And
Speaker 2: then you're trying to get ahold of contractors, and contractors
Speaker 2: are not available because everyone else is contacted a contractor,
Speaker 2: and so they're getting their places rebuilt. And then if
Speaker 2: you do go back to your place, you're gonna get
Speaker 2: ding gay fever. I'll tell you what If there's anything
Speaker 2: that causes a calexit, it's gonna be things like this.
Speaker 12: And so we expect to see some local transmission in
Speaker 12: dan Gay this year, and so we're working hard to
Speaker 12: make sure that that any mosquito activity as a result
Speaker 12: of the eating fire doesn't contribute or increase that risk.
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of insects that are breeding in Alta Dina,
Speaker 2: did you see who else is descending on Alta Dina
Speaker 2: right now? It's it's the other bugs, little lawyers. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's another group of parasitic, parasitic blood set Aaron Brockovich
Speaker 2: Benjamin Crump descending on the charred ruins of Altadena. As
Speaker 2: the aftermath of the deadly eaten fire shifts to the
Speaker 2: courthouse and southern California, Edison is in the crosshairs. So
Speaker 2: it's not just these two high profile attorneys, it's everybody
Speaker 2: that can get that can get attention. With some homeowners,
Speaker 2: you're talking billions of dollars at stake.
Speaker 4: So consider this. Have you ever ever had to deal
Speaker 4: with lawyer?
Speaker 2: I have maybe been in a car accident, or or
Speaker 2: maybe you've gone through a divorce or something I had
Speaker 2: to deal with a lawyer. If you if you've dealt
Speaker 2: with a lawyer where there's damages involved, the lawyer takes
Speaker 2: a cut that's usually around a third.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: So for instance, I had a I had a lawsuit,
Speaker 2: I was I had some issues a few years back.
Speaker 2: I had a lawsuit, we settled out of court, and
Speaker 2: I was due some money.
Speaker 4: My lawyer happily took cut.
Speaker 2: And at one point I did the breakdown on how
Speaker 2: much he got paid per hour, and it was something
Speaker 2: ridiculous like he was making I think he made over
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars an hour just based on just based
Speaker 2: on the settlement amount, right, and he him taking a
Speaker 2: third of the settlement. So if you're talking billions of
Speaker 2: dollars at stake, we'll make the math simple. Let's say
Speaker 2: you're an attorney that is able to recoup three billion
Speaker 2: dollars worth. You have a bunch of clients in this
Speaker 2: neighborhood and that neighborhood, and that neighborhood, and uh and
Speaker 2: and most of the work is duplicated because you're basically
Speaker 2: able to say, here's what I found about so cal
Speaker 2: Edison's responsibilities, and then you take that knowledge and you
Speaker 2: apply it to all of your different clients say you
Speaker 2: collect three billion dollars, you're taking home a billion dollar paycheck.
Speaker 4: A billion dollar paycheck.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know that any one of these attorneys
Speaker 2: is actually going to clear a billion dollars, but there
Speaker 2: will be attorneys that clear millions. This is why I
Speaker 2: watch suits LA. I just love the drama. I just
Speaker 2: love it. Who doesn't love it? So anyway, the advice
Speaker 2: from the La Times is when you're trying to pick
Speaker 2: out an attorney, ask questions like have you ever done
Speaker 2: a wildfire case before? And how are you gonna do this?
Speaker 2: These are just basics when it comes to any attorney.
Speaker 2: Have you addressed a case like mine or similar in
Speaker 2: the past, have you taken it to trial?
Speaker 4: What's your track record? And what's your plan? What do
Speaker 4: you have for bullets in the barrel? Right now?
Speaker 2: What are you ready to do here? Get bullets in
Speaker 2: the chamber? I should say, somebody's gonna ask me to be.
Speaker 4: Like you more.
Speaker 2: You don't know how guns work, because they'll completely miss
Speaker 2: the rest of the point. They'll just focus in on
Speaker 2: my analogy. Just be careful. If you are in titled
Speaker 2: with some money, I want you to get it to
Speaker 2: make sure You're not getting a bad attorney and just
Speaker 2: getting taken to the cleaners.
Speaker 4: All right, great.
