You know, there used to be 61 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.599 a time when and Neil was in charge of this 62 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:24.719 where we actually actually had swag radio stations hanging out 63 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.120 bugs and T shirts and all kinds of fun stuff. 64 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.840 When I oversaw the promotions department, do you remember in 65 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.039 my office the whole back wall was shelves of stuff 66 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:37.759 that I had to hand out. 67 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.319 We used to come up with stuff. I don't know, Amy, 68 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.280 I don't know if you were around, but there was 69 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.719 an annual radio get together where all the radio stations 70 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.800 would have sort of an annual thing where everybody would 71 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.039 have booths and food was offered, and it was just 72 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:53.599 great fun. 73 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:54.840 They were fun like carnivals. 74 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.840 Yeah they were. Yeah, that was a long time ago. 75 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.840 And then everybody went out of their way. Every station 76 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.280 went out of their way to produce some kind of crazy, 77 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.879 clever swag to give away the year we won. I 78 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.400 think it was you when it was knee pads with 79 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.839 the KFI logo on them. Oh, it was very strong. 80 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.680 I don't know that that was my work. 81 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:28.839 Anyway. Hello to Amy Neil, Good morning, codo, good morning, 82 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.600 good morning, and running around someplace going or there you are, 83 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.959 you're behind you, good morning, all right, all right, but 84 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.600 it's coughed. That's all right. You know I'm allowed to 85 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:42.800 do this. 86 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.959 There is literally a button that says cough on it. 87 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.240 You know. Here's the problem with a button that says cough. 88 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.720 I have always I'll take you. I've never used it 89 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.480 because I've always assumed that two metal fingers or a 90 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.879 metal hand would come out from underneath the encounter, underneath 91 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.160 the desk and and grab me and say turn left 92 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.920 and cough. Now, that, by the way, is a joke 93 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.279 that not too many young people do, because that's how 94 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.639 they the doctors would test for hernia. Is at one 95 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.439 point with guys, you grab them by the nuts and 96 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:15.519 turn around and cough. 97 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.439 What was that ever? Medically? 98 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.879 I think it was. I think it was. I think 99 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:20.079 it was. 100 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.199 I think it was real. 101 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.120 I think it was a real medical thing. I really, how. 102 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.600 Are you checking? What do they do? Are they raised? 103 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:27.399 Do they drop? 104 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.519 They don't know, I don't know. I've never had a hernia. 105 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.360 I have no idea for sports physicals. 106 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.040 That's still a thing. 107 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:41.319 No, really, I did. I mean, but okay, see it's real. 108 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.439 That's the real thing. Yeah, okay, So therefore the joke 109 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.800 works with the cough button. 110 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.160 Was it everybody or did they just do it to you? 111 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.759 And did you pay? And cono, did you pay for 112 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.560 it extra for the physical Okay, okay, we're done. Uh 113 00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.879 that's it. Onwards and upwards, And we're trying to make 114 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.040 light of the mornings because there's so much crap news 115 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.040 with these fires. So let's go ahead and start the 116 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.879 news on this Wednesday morning, January fifteenth, with Amy Neil 117 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:16.519 and Me lead story league. As Amy pointed out in 118 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.000 the news this morning, We're looking at some very high 119 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.680 winds coming down up to what seventy sixty seventy miles 120 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:28.879 an hour, which is severe red flag insane fire warnings. 121 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.879 And if a fire picks up, fire is ignited, it's 122 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.319 not going to be fun at all. So, you know what, 123 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.279 we'll do that throughout the news. Let's just move on 124 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.000 because we've talked about it and this will be on 125 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.199 a regular basis as we do the morning. 126 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.680 Well, and this is related to those winds and the fires. 127 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:54.079 Billions and billions of dollars is what the fires are 128 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.040 expected to cost. New analysis from ACU Weather estimates the 129 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:02.000 fires will cost California between two hundred and fifty and 130 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.519 two hundred and seventy five billion, not million billion dollars 131 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.600 a change that would mean that they would cost more 132 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.399 than the entire twenty twenty wildfire season of the state, 133 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.439 and more than last falls Hurricane Helene, which is estimated 134 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.319 to cost between two twenty five and two hundred and 135 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:18.920 fifty billion. 136 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.600 Yeah, it's crazy, crazy numbers. These natural disasters are well, 137 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.000 I mean a good good portion of the budget, the 138 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.639 federal budget is going to be wild natural disasters like this, 139 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.839 and interest that it's going to be paid on the 140 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.959 national debt, which is going to be a third or 141 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.199 forty percent of the entire income, the entire revenue of 142 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.759 the US government. It's a mess, it really is. I'll 143 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.120 be happy that I'm dead and my kids and grandkids 144 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.560 can deal with this.

You could 192 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.399 fit probably ten of my houses in there. 193 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.799 Let's take that's not true, unless you call your ant 194 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.080 farm one of your houses. We'll be back and let's 195 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.799 continue on with handle on the news, all right. 196 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.919 Providing protection for the most vulnerable. La City officials are 197 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.080 looking to protect some tenants from being evicted because of 198 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.279 the wildfires. 199 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:33.879 There was a vote yesterday. 200 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.720 It was unanimous that the city Attorney will draft an 201 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:42.399 ordinance that for one year would prevent evictions if a 202 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:47.600 renter has extra occupants or unauthorized pets that were necessitated 203 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.200 by the fires. A lot of people are staying in 204 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.960 temporary housing, staying with friends, that kind of thing. Under 205 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.519 the rules, the tenants would need to notify their landlord 206 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.080 within thirty days after the ordinance kicks in about any 207 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:02.120 unauthorized pet or people staying with them because of the fires, 208 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.080 which makes. 209 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.679 Us sense, makes all the sense in the world, you know. So, 210 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.200 I don't know who would be opposed to that. 211 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:11.600 You opening up your house. 212 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.320 No, okay, no chance. 213 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.639 Group of residents impacted by the Palisades fire. They are 214 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.960 suing the Los Angeles Department of Water Power LADWP leedging 215 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.399 that the city and its agency was unprepared. This all 216 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.200 focuses around much of the information that's coming out now 217 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:38.320 about the Santa a Ynez Reservoir, that one hundred and 218 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:45.840 seventeen million gallons water storage there, that complex part of 219 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.240 the LA water supply system had been empty for nearly 220 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:49.799 a year. 221 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.600 Yeah. Now this one gets interesting because they're going to 222 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:57.279 have to prove that there would have been a substantial 223 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.759 change had that reservoir been operating. It was right in 224 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.639 the middle of the Palace Saves by the way, would 225 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.759 have there been a change. If there is no change, 226 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.600 there's no suit there. 227 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:14.200 Saying one hundred and seventeen million gallons up against the 228 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.879 three million gallons that they had would not have made 229 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:18.480 a difference. 230 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.960 Where did they have hold on? Where do they have 231 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.840 I'm not looking at the story where they had only 232 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:25.120 three million gallons of age. 233 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.279 Three million gallons is what was made available to them, 234 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:28.679 which is. 235 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.799 Out of the one hundred and seventeen million were totally. 236 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.840 The reservoirs mostly empty. 237 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.360 Well this, no, this reservoir was empty. The other ones 238 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.200 were not. So what you're saying is the all the 239 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.639 reservoirs only produced three million and this reservoir had one 240 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:45.000 hundred and seventeen million. 241 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.840 No, that the water that was brought to the fires, right, 242 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:53.240 it is my understanding. There was three million gallons that 243 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:54.759 were supplied. 244 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.399 Okay, that I don't understand because if you're saying that 245 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:05.039 that only less than three percent of this reservoir was 246 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.600 brought to the fire, that they only had. 247 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.080 That was the complaint. Is that the woman what's her name? 248 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.679 I don't by the way, and I don't know the. 249 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.440 Woman that makes seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a 250 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.480 year that oversees the I can't remember her. 251 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.480 Yeah, that's news to me. I would love to see that, 252 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:27.600 because if you have one reservoir out of all of 253 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.759 them that were used or the. 254 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.000 Water supproximity of this reservoir would have made it the understood. 255 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.559 But again they have to prove that that would have 256 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.440 had a substantial use because you now have a fire 257 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.799 that was such a megafire that was moving at such 258 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.879 a rapid speed that they didn't have enough fire equipment 259 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.320 that they couldn't pump it. Because even if they had 260 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.919 the equipment, or even if there was equipment there, which 261 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.960 there wasn't, it would have made a difference. You can't 262 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.679 just say this would have done it, or this would 263 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.519 have helped substantially. You need a lot more than that 264 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.960 in an allegation, a lot more than that. All I'm 265 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.840 saying is possibly, it could be. I don't know the answer. 266 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.519 For example, the ignition of that power line where you 267 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.679 saw the video of the power line. Uh huh, powerlane went, 268 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.559 power line went down to Pacific PALISAZ. Theer's a video 269 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.039 of it, of just the fire igniting at the base 270 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.600 of the power line. Therefore, the power company is at fault. Well, 271 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.320 the power company is saying, well, we don't know yet. 272 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.200 What if the fire came to there. What if it 273 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.000 wasn't anything they did and I just ignited near there. 274 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:38.000 We don't know yet. But the assumption already is the 275 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.519 lawsuits have been filed. I mean, without even looking it 276 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.039 was kind of three days into it. 277 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.639 If I was fighting a fire, a massive fire, the 278 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:49.159 largest urban fire in California's history, and someone said, would 279 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.159 you like another one hundred and seventeen million gaps. 280 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:57.200 I understand that. By the way, Okay, incidentally, it was 281 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.159 shut down, not because it was shut down. There saying 282 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.600 it was shut down because the requirements for drinking water 283 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.399 which they used out of this reservoir and they couldn't 284 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:06.840 produce it. 285 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.240 So there's because it had a hole in the cover 286 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.600 that they didn't get fixed. 287 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.679 Hey, I'm not arguing. I'm not arguing, but they have 288 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.039 to prove that if they had. 289 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:22.000 That outsourced and for one hundred and some one thousand 290 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.279 dollars and they didn't have it fixed in eleven months. 291 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.200 So you're sitting okay, so you're on the jury. You 292 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.919 don't even want to hear anything about whether it would 293 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.559 have worked, whether or not. We don't want an investigation. 294 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.279 We've made up our minds. 295 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:42.240 Okay, one hundred and seventeen million gallons. 296 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.799 Now here is my question. You are saying only three 297 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:52.240 million less than of that. You're saying that less than 298 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.279 three percent of this reservoir was the water that was 299 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.360 brought to the Palisades fire, all those hundreds of via 300 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.200 three percent of that reservoir. 301 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.320 No, it didn't even come from that reservoir. They provided 302 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.159 three trucks. 303 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:13.159 I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that three million gallons 304 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.639 were used in the Palisades. That's the water supply they had. 305 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.919 Kind of hard to believe that the water supply they 306 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:25.039 had in the Palisades would have been what, one hundred 307 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.759 and fifty times more had they used this reservoir. 308 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.240 No, I've got it have been about thirty five times. 309 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:35.840 But I will tell you it's even harder to believe 310 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.879 that a hole in a cover, well, that it took 311 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.879 eleven months. 312 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.440 That I am not, by the way, I'm not even 313 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.159 if there is negligence, I don't understand. I understand. But 314 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.159 even as there is negligence involved, let's say that they 315 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.120 should have had that there. Do you even want to 316 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.200 hear that it would or would not have made any difference? 317 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.240 Or you've already decided that it would make all the 318 00:16:59.240 --> 00:16:59.960 difference in the world. 319 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:02.799 Mister Jerry, I don't know how. 320 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.599 I don't know how one hundred and seventy, your honor, 321 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:13.160 one hundred and seventeen million gallons, you're right, would not 322 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.640 have helped a fire. 323 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.000 Neil, You're absolutely right. So, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, 324 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.799 you are not to consider whether that would have made 325 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.000 a difference or not. That is off the table. All 326 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.319 you do is listen to what Neil said and listen 327 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.000 to no investigation. 328 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.160 Now and now they will prove how one hundred and 329 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:39.960 seventeen million extra gallons of anti fire liquid. 330 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.440 Wouldn't have helped. 331 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.160 Well, you have a fire that's moving at one hundred 332 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:47.279 miles an hour. 333 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.039 Doesn't matter. 334 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.160 We've had it doesn't matter, Okay, Neil lay By the way, 335 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.720 I want to point out something that Neil understands the 336 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:55.920 law far more than I do, which, of course he 337 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.039 actually does, so do most of you. We've heard the 338 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:05.920 show what we've Yeah, yeah, so anyway, seven, we should 339 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.400 not do any I understand there should be no investigation. 340 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.400 It should be done matter of fact. 341 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.799 That is three of your MIC's side. 342 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.880 Let me okay, before we take a break, let me 343 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:20.960 ask you a question. Uh, DWP is being sued. Do 344 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.640 you even give them thirty days to respond to the 345 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.559 suit or do you just say not even a response. 346 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.039 I'd say not even a response. 347 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:35.039 That's true, Gallant, I understand that's the argument. All Right, 348 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.279 We're done, thank you. The show is over. Neil will 349 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.640 take over from now. It's it's uh Savedra on the news, 350 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.400 coming right up. Okay, let's move on. 351 00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:48.079 California priorities have changed just a little bit, maybe not permanently, 352 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.920 but for now. For a second day, lawmakers canceled a 353 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.960 special session hearing on the Democratic led efforts to Trump 354 00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:01.240 proof the state of California. They also lightly delayed plans 355 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.240 to provide funding in response to the wildfires in La County. 356 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.119 Democrats originally wanted the Trump related legislation in effect by 357 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.599 the time he takes office on January twentieth, which of 358 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:12.920 course is like four days wing. 359 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:18.599 Not that it matters whether they file a lawsuit January twentieth, 360 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:24.119 January fourth, or February sixth, It doesn't matter. So I 361 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.119 don't even know why this is a big thing for 362 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.240 the California legislature. They just want to jump on filing 363 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:30.400 lawsuits against Trump. 364 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.920 Like right now, Newsom is actually closing down every tanning 365 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:39.400 spa in California so that Trump doesn't even have a 366 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:40.400 reason to come here. 367 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:42.319 That's how bad it's getting. 368 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.559 Takeaways from Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing, Boy was that good TV? 369 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.039 Yeah, he's getting it. He's going to be confisted. 370 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.160 Yeah, he's basically had the votes he needed.
