WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.160 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.839 President Trump has agreed to pause the implementation of planned 5 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:12.759 tariffs on imports from Canada for at least thirty days, 6 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.400 sort of an echo of what we saw with Mexico 7 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.879 from the day before. In both cases, the pauses came 8 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.960 after those countries agreed to take steps towards preventing the 9 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.920 trafficking of deadly fentanyl into the United States. President Trump's 10 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.719 also going to be hosting Benjamin Netanyahu at the White 11 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.399 House this afternoon about to two o'clock. They're supposed to 12 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.840 do two o'clock our time. They're supposed to do a 13 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:33.840 news conference today. 14 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.840 Can I have some scary music? Scary something, fearmonger music, 15 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.679 something to ilicit fear in the hearts of men and women. 16 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.200 Smart rabbitson going. 17 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.280 That'll do it, Smokey talking about his orgasm. Yeah, that'll 18 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.920 do it, my never mind, go on, Nope. 19 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.679 Back to back atmospheric river storms are set to hit La. 20 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:00.520 County this week. 21 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:01.960 Could you like a rain gasm? 22 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.640 No, No, it's not. We do need this rain. 23 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.040 There are times when I say it, I wish I 24 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.439 could take it. No, I can't take it back. 25 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.519 Okay, there's nobody that understands that more than I do. 26 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.239 They say, this is gonna obviously be beneficial because we 27 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.079 haven't had rain since what last last March April something 28 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.879 like that. Yeah, there is less than a five percent 29 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.519 chance of significant debris flow, so let's pump the brakes 30 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.920 on the fear mongering in terms of threatening landslides, mud slides, 31 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:35.719 things like that. 32 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.359 If the second storm strengthens, we. 33 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.000 Could have some problems on I thought we were parking 34 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.719 the car of the gasm over to the side. 35 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.159 Every time I take a look, you. 36 00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:56.319 Get who conceptualized that song, and if it was Smokey 37 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.519 Robinson himself, who gives him the green light? Or do 38 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.120 you just at the green light when you're smoking Robinson 39 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:08.240 for ridiculousness like this. Furthermore, I need to point out 40 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.000 the fact that right after my father died, we're sitting 41 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.400 in the backyard at my parents' house and my mom says, 42 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.400 to turn this off while you say the story, Well, 43 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.919 it gets worse. My mom was like, I'd really like 44 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.639 to see Smokey Robinson, And I say, oh, Smokey Robinson's 45 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.439 playing at the Orange County Fair. Oh, I'd love to 46 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:27.360 come down and see that. 47 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.000 Little did we. 48 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.400 Know it was the Gasm Show and he just sang 49 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.199 about sex for ninety minutes. 50 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.560 Smokey Robinson probably knows what he's talking about. 51 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.199 Would you like to sit with your mother? 52 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.599 No, and and listen to gasm gasm. 53 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.280 By the way, he's the credited writer on that song, 54 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.000 only him. 55 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.080 No one else wants finger prints on that crime. 56 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.280 So they're consultants. Perhaps they were like, smoke. 57 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.520 And let you take this, listen this, I gasm, get 58 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:04.319 it and give me gasm gasm. 59 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:04.960 Rain. 60 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.000 As long as it stays cool. 61 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.400 According to the National Weather Service, and we don't have 62 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.639 more Santa Ana winds, we get a little bit of rain. 63 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.840 This buys us time in February because they're actually saying 64 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.599 that we're going to see a pretty dry condition after 65 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.759 these two storms go through tonight and Thursday night, it's 66 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.919 probably going to dry out significantly or like we've seen basically. 67 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.719 And they're also saying that we could see some winds 68 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.319 start from the inland areas to the north, affecting I 69 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.960 five southern Santa Barbara County before it turns into a 70 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.560 moderate Santa Ana wind event later over the weekend, which 71 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.560 means that temperatures could potentially be warm. But you know, 72 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.280 on Super Bowl Sunday you're talking about temperature somewhere in 73 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.639 the upper sixties. 74 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.639 For the most most of southern California. But we still 75 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:50.439 need it. 76 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.960 We have received less than twenty five percent of the 77 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.319 typical rainfall for this point in the season. And we 78 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.159 know that the Santa Ana wind conditions can last. They 79 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.319 can come and go, but they can last through March 80 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.879 in many places, or through March in many cases. 81 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:07.080 I should say so. 82 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:12.759 Two river storms, atmospheric river storms La Inventura Counties Tuesday night, 83 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.519 lasting through midday tomorrow. The second storm expects Thursday night 84 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.399 into Friday morning and again light to moderate rain. 85 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.759 But just keep an eye on They have said that. 86 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.000 Is one of their concerns till Panga was closed because 87 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.000 of the last rain event, because of some debris flows, etc. So, 88 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.000 like you said, it's not a very high chance. But hey, 89 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.600 weather forecasting is a dangerous business. They changed change significantly. 90 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.879 People get killed. 91 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.120 When they make you think anybody can do what Henry does, 92 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.680 You're wrong. You're wrong. 93 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.720 I think It's funny that you're in making excuses for 94 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.920 your husband's boyfriend. 95 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:55.319 He wishes. 96 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.160 He could never pull a come on, he could not 97 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.879 pull Henry Carlos Well. 98 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:07.680 Insurance companies are starting to starting here. 99 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.480 It's so ridiculous, show their true colors. 100 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.040 And in this case, State Farm who by the way, 101 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.600 canceled many policies in fire zones just before the fires, 102 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.720 now want to increase their fees by about twenty two percent. 103 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.720 Of course they do. How are they going to pay 104 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:27.279 for all that? 105 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.720 You know, when you think about the Palisades being wiped out, 106 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.800 and that's millions upon millions billions. 107 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.800 Yeah, I'm going to go get my knife. 108 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:37.959 Good IDEA. 109 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.480 State Farm General, the largest home insurer in the state 110 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.279 of California, is asking the state Insurance Commissioner for an 111 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.639 emergency rate hike coming out to about twenty two percent, 112 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.480 saying that the fires that burned through La last month 113 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.959 have put the company in dire financial straits. So the 114 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:01.360 company has received already eighty seven hundred rid claims and 115 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.120 has paid out more than a billion dollars to its customers, 116 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.879 and it expects to pay significantly more when you consider 117 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.120 that these fires have been determined to be the costliest 118 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.319 natural disaster in state history. 119 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.040 State Farm says it's lost two point eight billion over 120 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.920 the nine year period ending last year, including gains from 121 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:29.759 investment income. So while you don't want insurance companies to 122 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.879 be wildly profitable, they do need to be profitable. They 123 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.279 can't be operating at a loss. 124 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:35.560 Yeah. 125 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.639 See, that's the thing is, they will tell you one thing. 126 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.199 A group called Consumer Watchdog, LA based advocacy group, says 127 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.000 that State Farm General is not in financial trouble, that 128 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.079 they made underwriting profits of one point four billion dollars 129 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.279 over the last couple of years, and that the parent company, 130 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.560 State Farm Mutual has about one hundred and thirty four 131 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.959 billion dollars in the bank. 132 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.199 Talked about how these insurance companies have canceled people, State 133 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.120 Farm among them. In March, they said it would not 134 00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.680 be renewing seventy two thousand home apartment other property policies 135 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:16.079 in California, citing reconstruction costs which are out of control, exorbitant, 136 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.920 increasing wildfire risks, outdated state regulations. So basically they took 137 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:28.079 the areas like the Palisades that are the most well 138 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.720 high risk when it comes to when you look at 139 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.519 the cost of the home and the urban interface wild 140 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.240 land interface that exists there, and they. 141 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:37.920 Just got rid of them. 142 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.000 They just take the top high risk homeowners and they 143 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.439 just slashed them. 144 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.399 Well, and I wonder, I mean, when you look at 145 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.680 the Palisades, you talk about homes that are in many 146 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.920 cases multiple millions of dollars for homes, and there's a 147 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:52.720 lot of them there. 148 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.560 Think about rebuilding those now? 149 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.959 Rebuilding them is yes, I mean, that's a completely that 150 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:03.079 whole subject is ridiculous. But is it just those types 151 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.959 of places that they're canceling their policies or are they 152 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.399 saying California in general is too expensive and we're going 153 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.240 to have to cancel them all up and down the state. 154 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.399 Well, it's just right from what I've read in terms 155 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.759 of what they've canceled so far, it's just those high 156 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.079 risk properties, those expensive homes that are in the wild 157 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.720 land urban interface like the Palisades. 158 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.480 They haven't gotten some. 159 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.920 Of the lower to some of the lower like Altadena 160 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:34.440 for example. Sure, so who knows, and think about it, 161 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.120 Like you said, multimillion dollar places in the Palisades, talk 162 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.759 about rebuilding that, it's going to be three times what 163 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.919 it costs to build it the first time at least. 164 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.240 And some of those homes multigenerational right, Some people probably 165 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.320 had homes that were purchased for eleven thousand dollars in 166 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.840 nineteen fifty eight or something like that. This decision we 167 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.399 talked about not renewing the seventy two thousand policies. Their 168 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.679 decision of twenty three was to stop writing new business, homeowner, 169 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.240 and other personal property and casualty insurance in the state. 170 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.919 But last month, when they figured out how big this was, 171 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.120 State Farm modified that decision said they would offer renewals 172 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.799 to any policy holder affected by the Palisades Eaten or 173 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:19.240 other fires whose policies had not lapsed before the fire 174 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.480 start started. On January seventh, they said it would apply 175 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.399 to about seventy percent of the residential policies that it 176 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.480 had in the Palisades when it announced the non renewals 177 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.360 last year. This is up to the insurance Commissioner. 178 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:34.559 He will be. 179 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:41.440 Guided, I suppose advised by the insurance commission about whether 180 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:42.919 or not he's going to do this. 181 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:43.919 This is also. 182 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.159 On top of in June the company filing for a 183 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.679 thirty percent increase for its homeowners policies, thirty six increase 184 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.600 for condo owners, fifty two percent increase for renters, and 185 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:02.799 that hike request is still pending. If your state farm, 186 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.200 it's going to be crazy next couple of months as 187 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.360 they figure out what in the world's going on now. 188 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:12.879 While all of that is government, insurance companies dealing with 189 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.519 the government in terms of trying to get their rate increases, 190 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.879 there are things that government cannot do. They're just not 191 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.720 good at it. That's not what they do well.

He wants to help rebuild LA 194 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.639 and he wants to do it with a business sense, 195 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.399 not a government sense, which is very very important. 196 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.120 Oh.

A 208 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:08.600 second storm rolls in Thursday night into Friday.

They 217 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.720 say rooms for rent are the new housing market in 218 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.840 this country. We'll get into that. You should start running 219 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.759 out your home to strangers. 220 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.559 That's just like fun, just for the story, for the stories. 221 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:49.519 Yeah, we did have it. 222 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.000 We had somebody living there. 223 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.480 I remember that couple years ago, and then she had 224 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:54.840 a baby. The baby's out. 225 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.960 Oh well there's one that one too. She's had multiple 226 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.399 kids since then. Really, Yeah, that was a long time ago. 227 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.600 That was four or five four years five years ago. 228 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:05.360 Time flies. 229 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:11.000 Yeah, But we had somebody else, a friend's friend, college 230 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.879 student was in town. So she stayed with us for 231 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.879 about six weeks a lengthy appeals process. But Major League 232 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:23.320 Baseball has fired an umpire for sharing a sports betting 233 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.559 account with a friend who was betting on baseball. 234 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.120 Yeah, you can't do that, and. 235 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:33.720 Then misleading investigators by intentionally deleting messages who were which 236 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.159 were key to his conduct. Nothing has ever deleted, But 237 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:44.200 this guy, Pat Hoburg was widely considered the best behind 238 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.519 the plate umpire in Major League Baseball, too, the best 239 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:49.120 ball and strike guy that they had. 240 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.960 Luca John Chick says he was just as shocked as 241 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.799 everybody else in the rest of the basketball world when 242 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.480 the Dallas MAVs traded him to the Lakers. He's been 243 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.399 in LA for two days as he's excited. That Hall 244 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.000 of Fame voter, by the way, who you took umbrage with? 245 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.840 Who I think everyone did. Who declined to select each 246 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:13.039 hero remains a mystery still. All three hundred and twenty 247 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.919 one voters who allowed their ballots to be made public 248 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:21.039 today by the Baseball Raiders Writers Association of America selected 249 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:26.399 each row, but the ballot that did not remains a mystery. 250 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.759 Apparently it's up to the writers if they want to 251 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.879 make their ballots known or not, and this writer did not. 252 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.279 You could, obviously, somebody will do. 253 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.639 The process of elimination exactly we'll find out. 254 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.559 Rick Cruso did not get elected mayor of Los Angeles, 255 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.440 and he's proving that that may have been a giant mistake. 256 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.879 Hey, you have to have private enterprise involved in this 257 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:52.480 because government alone can't do it. 258 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.039 It's too big. 259 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:57.159 He has launched a new foundation to spur the rebuilding 260 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:02.440 efforts from our wildfires in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. He 261 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.720 has put together an all star team when it comes 262 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:10.879 to engineering and technology companies to really spearhead some of 263 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:17.039 the private public teamwork that needs to take place. It's 264 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.559 called Steadfast LA and he says, you really think about 265 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.960 this as sort of the opposite of what government does. 266 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.200 This is about a group of people who are incredibly smart, 267 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.960 will resourced, that will roll up their sleeves and we're 268 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.080 going to be issue driven. 269 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.879 Yeah, because listen, public private partnerships, or the way I 270 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.000 put it, the private public partnerships can really only go 271 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.279 so far. Sometimes you need the private businesses to spearhead 272 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:42.919 some of this stuff. 273 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.480 We would love for them to come and say we 274 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.799 have this problem, may tell me how your team can 275 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.440 help fix it. We are very clear we want to 276 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.960 work with you on this now. If we feel that 277 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.200 there's a lot of fee dragging or there's a lot 278 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.279 of red tape getting in the way, we want to 279 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.240 be in a position and we won't be to push them. 280 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.039 Yeah, So what is his end game? What is Rick 281 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.200 Crusoe's endgame? 282 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.720 So he spends an s ton of his own money 283 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.799 to run for mayor and does not move the needle 284 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.919 to where it needed to be, and is still involved 285 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.679 with bettering things for people. It seems what's the endgame there? 286 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.399 What does he want? It's just a good guy he 287 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.279 can be. It's just wildly rare. 288 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.879 Well, that's probably why people make that face when they 289 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.080 talk about what he's doing, is because it is so 290 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:35.120 rare for someone to be. 291 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.919 Wouldn't you just feel that topic about Most people just. 292 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.200 Go and enjoy their money, They go on yachts like 293 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.120 Magic Johnson and live their lives. They don't sit around 294 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.080 creating foundations to help people rebuild from the ashes. 295 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.039 He talked to NBC, and he talked to Channel eleven, 296 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.720 and one of the things that he said was Alex 297 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.240 Michaelson asked him if he's running for mayor again or 298 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.840 maybe governor again, and he said, listen, I don't have time. 299 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.240 He said. 300 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.080 He literally said that time stopped on January seventh for 301 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.159 him because it was very personal. 302 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.279 Not only does he love. 303 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.360 LA this is personal because I obviously I love this region, 304 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.360 but but it's personal because we lost three homes. 305 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.720 I mean, I don't know if that's the right message. 306 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.919 Well, but it means that they lost her home. 307 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:19.639 They lost a home, and I think somebody else like 308 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:20.840 I think the family. 309 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.240 I mean, I get it. Yeah, it does sound it 310 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.080 sounds like, well, they have a lot, they have they 311 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.080 have money, they have money. 312 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.159 Just before I get hate for my magic, Johnson comment, 313 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.360 I know that magic does things for the community. I 314 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.960 don't mean to sound like Ronald Sterling or Donald Sterling, 315 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.600 but why don't he done? He's got aids. I don't 316 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.320 mean to be that person, but you know what I mean, 317 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.279 Rick Russo is sitting on a pile of money. 318 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.559 Usually guys like this they like to go play. They don't. 319 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.960 Maybe he's played enough and he wants to do something 320 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:47.240 with it. And good for him, so. 321 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:48.000 He has picked up. 322 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.519 This is these these very intelligent, top of their game people. 323 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.840 Andy Cohen not from Bravo.
