1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand kf I.

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 2>AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tiffany

3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Hobbs here with you until seven. Make sure you listen

4
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>back to the podcast's link on theiheartapp iHeartRadio dot com

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 2>so you can hear Maya Winston, a global DEI consultant,

6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 2>discuss details of what DEI actually is, common misconceptions, and

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 2>who actually are beneficiaries of DEI policy. It's not who

8
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you think. It's actually a lot broader than that, and

9
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Maya opened up the conversation in a very skillful way

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 2>to share her expertise about what DEI is and what

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>it isn't and how all of us will be impacted

12
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>as these DEI rollbacks continue moving from one disaster to another.

13
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>The fires are now one hundred percent contained, both the

14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Eton Fire and the Palisades Fire. That is wonderful news,

15
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>but the next phase of recovery is well underway with

16
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 2>people trying to navigate this new direction that they are in,

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>this new place that they are in, whether they have

18
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>lost their homes or their businesses, whatever the case, the

19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>County of Los Angeles is dealing with a lot of

20
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>recovery efforts, and you can continue to donate through KFI

21
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>as we partner with the Dream Center. Those donations are

22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>still ongoing, so you can get out there to the

23
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Dream Center and donate online at kfiam six forty dot

24
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>com backslash donate of which they are collecting things still

25
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>for people who are victims of the fires. One thing

26
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>that they ask people do not donate at the Dream

27
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Center and at other donation centers is clothing. We have

28
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>found out through these fires that Angelino's people in southern

29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 2>California and Orange County as well a lot of clothes.

30
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>And when we want to rind ourselves, when we want

31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to purge ourselves of all of those extra clothes, we

32
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 2>are quick to donate. But the problem is when those

33
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 2>donations pile up, when there's nowhere for those those donations

34
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>to land, When donation centers have no further need for

35
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 2>your old t shirts and jeans and coats and shoes

36
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>and socks and everything else that you have so generously given,

37
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Where do these clothes go? And that is a big

38
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>question being asked in the Guardian, and the title is overwhelming.

39
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>What happens to fifty pounds of extra LA wildfire clothing donations.

40
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>This is a big issue. This article actually reveals that

41
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the clothing that is collected is often

42
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>outsourced or taken to landfills. And there's an issue happening

43
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>right now with landfills as the airs of the Palisades

44
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and Altadena and Pasadena are looking to dispose of their

45
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>toxic waste. You've been hearing it here on KFI. There

46
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>are landfills that have been designated to receive that toxic waste,

47
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and residents in both both the Palisades and the altadenapacity

48
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>in the area have pushed back against those collection sites,

49
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>those dumping sites, sighting environmental concerns, health concerns. People don't

50
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>want toxicity near where they live, and that is totally understandable.

51
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>But often we think of toxicity in this case as

52
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>ash as perhaps oil or something else that might be

53
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>more chemically toxic, But in fact, clothing is a part

54
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>of that toxicity. And let me tell you a little

55
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>bit about what's happening with one specific organization, one business

56
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 2>that is hoping to be able to assuage the Los

57
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Angeles area of this fifty extra fifty pounds of clothes

58
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>collected from wildfire donations. There's a sewing shop. It's called

59
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Sway Sew Shop. It's in the La Arts district down

60
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>there in downtown and they have been collecting surplus donations

61
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>from the wildfire donation centers and community groups that these

62
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 2>groups were unable to distribute because they already had too much,

63
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 2>or as we have found out, because these items were dirty,

64
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 2>damaged or poorly made. There were lots of complaints during

65
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 2>the collections of clothing over this last three weeks that

66
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:42.279
<v Speaker 2>clothing was coming in very worn, very dirty, very poorly made,

67
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>and people were speaking out and they were very incensed

68
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>and rightfully so that people were seemingly donating their trash. Well,

69
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 2>this company, the Sway Sow Shop, has collected all of

70
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>it and instead of letting the clothes go to a landfill,

71
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>which in fact does cause a host of environmental problems,

72
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>this company, swaysoa Shop, has taken this fifty thousand pounds

73
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 2>of clothing so that they can be cleaned, sorted and

74
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>upcycled by professional designers and seamstresses and seamsters. So the

75
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>clothing that is being donated that has nowhere to go

76
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 2>and people have no use for, will be collected, cleaned, repaired,

77
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>and re sold right back to you. It is a

78
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 2>cycle that is interesting. I did not know that, Kayla.

79
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that? I had no idea. Did you

80
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>donate anything? No judgment, but have you donated anything that

81
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>items but money?

82
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

83
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 2>And you've donated things before, like clothing before. I'm sure,

84
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, of course. I throw them in the

85
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>little bins that they have around the world. What do

86
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>you expect to happen, you know, to that, to those

87
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 2>parcels of clothing. Do you expect them to go directly

88
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 2>to people or in this case, do you expect them

89
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>to be sold back to you? No, I don't expect

90
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 2>them to be sold back to me. I expect them

91
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>to be given to people that need it. And that's

92
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>what's happening. It's being sold right back to you, Kayla. No,

93
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>the shirts we're wearing today could have very well been

94
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>collected at a donation site, cleaned, refurbished, and sold back

95
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>to us at a higher price. That's messed up there,

96
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and that's what's happening. This is the revelation in all

97
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>of this. When it comes to donations and collections, it

98
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>also shines a light on over production. We have been

99
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>consuming quite a bit. In twenty twenty, studies came out

100
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 2>that showed that people were shopping a lot more, especially online,

101
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of that shopping was in terms of

102
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>fast fashion, much of which has been collected during these

103
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>donations are at these donation centers. They are citing fast

104
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 2>fashion items as being something that they've received a lot of.

105
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>That's your kind of cheaply made clothing, your trendy clothing,

106
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 2>things that are season to season, not something that people

107
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>could potentially keep. Because of these surplus donations now being

108
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>sold back again, it is shining a light on that

109
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 2>over consumerism. And from this article, it says that a

110
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 2>disturbing eighty five percent of all textiles end up in landfills. So,

111
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 2>whether a fire or another disaster, whether you're just donating

112
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 2>out of the goodwill of your heart, a lot of

113
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>what you are donating when it comes to clothing is

114
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 2>ending up in landfills where these clothes emit methane gas

115
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>and leech chemicals and dyes into our soil and ground water.

116
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>We must be really dirty, we are emitting methane gas.

117
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was really relegated to cows. But apparently

118
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>our clothing is so chock full of chemicals and whatever

119
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>we're putting inside of our clothing your body that when

120
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>put into a land phil it is contributing to major

121
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 2>environmental hazards. So continue to donate. Make sure though, that

122
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.399
<v Speaker 2>you are not just ridding yourself or or purging your

123
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>closet of your trash. Of course, we keep saying that

124
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 2>week to week as we help these unfortunate people who

125
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>are victims of the wildfires navigate their new reality. But

126
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 2>just know that if you do, in fact donate clothing

127
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 2>going into the future, your clothing is being repackaged and

128
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 2>resold to you. Something to think about as you look

129
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>at your closet. Something else to think about is where

130
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you plan to visit as the rebuilding phase from the

131
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>fires continues. And I'll have a list of restaurants that

132
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>plan to rebuild, hope to rebuild as there as this

133
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>next phase of recovery is underway. So I'll share that

134
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>with you when we come back. Kf I AM six

135
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 2>forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio apps.

136
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

137
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, if I AM six forty live everywhere on the

138
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.159
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio app. Timmy Hobs here with you until seven, and

<v Speaker 2>then Michael Monks comes aboard, so make sure you stay

140
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>tuned for that. We have had a very explosive show.

141
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Our talkback feature has just been going berserk. We've had

142
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>so many talkbacks, many of which we are not going

143
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.519
<v Speaker 2>to dignify, but some we have to because they are

144
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>just so good and so insightful. So we're gonna hear

145
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>from Sonya and Dennis.

146
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Yo.

147
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 4>What's that Tiffany?

148
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 5>Hey?

149
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 4>So I'm half white, half Spanish, and I get that

150
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 4>guy's emotions, but I feel like he's been fed the

151
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 4>wrong facts, just like how I've been, and which is

152
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 4>why I keep my mouth shut.

153
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.759
<v Speaker 3>He's like, no, I don't know everything, and.

154
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.080
<v Speaker 4>Which is why it's really good you're gonna talk about

155
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 4>this topic today.

156
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 3>Get some facts out there.

157
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>But I get I think it's just everything that we

158
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.399
<v Speaker 4>are told and not the facts.

159
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 3>And you know, you come out with emotion.

160
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much much, Dennis. I appreciate your insight

161
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and your maturity about the matter. No, we do not

162
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 2>know everything. I certainly don't, which is why I had

163
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Maya Winston come on, so she can let us know

164
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>otherwise I would just be speculating and that's not good

165
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 2>news reporting. All right, can we go to Sonia please,

166
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Hey you guys.

167
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 5>On this topic about sway Soo's shop and the extra clothing.

168
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm down here in Orange County and I'm collecting donations

169
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 5>from my neighbors and they've been so generous, mostly donating

170
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 5>brand new items and all kinds of things, all mostly new.

171
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 5>But I was even surprised, and it takes a lot

172
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 5>to see what people were donating. And yes, dirty stained trash.

173
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 5>Someone took their junk drawer and dumped it upside down.

174
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what people were staying at these donation sites. Again,

175
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about the surplus of clothing. Thank you

176
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Sonya for that and for sharing what's happening about what's

177
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 2>happening in Orange County. People were saying that, yeah, what's

178
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>being collected is not of good quality. And then all

179
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 2>of that, whether good quality or otherwise, is sent two

180
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 2>different outsourcing companies, and what they do is they refurbish,

181
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>repackage and resell it back to you. We did have

182
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>a talkback who said, yeah, you know, I've gone to

183
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the Goodwill and they don't do that. They don't clean anything.

184
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 2>This is supposed to be true. I cannot fully qualify it,

185
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 2>but I have heard that as well. We're not talking

186
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>about just goodwill. We're talking about actual boutiques that are

187
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 2>getting the clothing and repackaging it and reselling it to consumers.

188
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 2>So it's a vicious cycle. This donation stuff is and

189
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>it comes from a good place. But they don't need

190
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 2>your clothes anymore, ladies and gentlemen. They need other things,

191
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>and you can check the Dream Center's website to find

192
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.799
<v Speaker 2>out what they need specifically. As iHeart continues to pair

193
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>with them and their recovery efforts. So talking about the

194
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>fires again, we're seeing one hundred percent containment for all

195
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.879
<v Speaker 2>of the fires. We are now for the first day

196
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 2>in I think the last thirty days, I saw a

197
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>stat there are no active fires in southern California. And

198
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:15.039
<v Speaker 2>that is something that is to be applauded sadly, because wow,

199
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 2>we spent an entire month checking our watch duty app

200
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>and expecting the next fire to spring up, and like clockwork,

201
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 2>they were. As we know, the Palisades fire and Eaten

202
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>fires were extremely destructive, with tens of thousands of acres

203
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 2>burned about ten thousand now close to businesses and structures

204
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>burned as well, and of those structures, many are hoping

205
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild. Of those businesses, many are hoping to emerge

206
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>from the flames, so to speak, renewed and rebuilt so

207
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>they can continue serving the community. If we're talking about

208
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Malibu and the Palisades, there were quite a few restaurants

209
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:02.279
<v Speaker 2>that burned. Moonshadows is one, bitari another. There's Cafe Lux

210
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:07.399
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately that was burned, and the Malibus excuse me, the

211
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 2>popular real In in Malibu over there on PCH. You

212
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>may have seen it driving by. They are just on

213
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the north side of PCH as you are driving kind

214
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>of northwest on PCH and you'll see that beautiful chalkboard

215
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.679
<v Speaker 2>out there with their illustration or menu. It's a very

216
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>popular spot, been there for thirty two years and unfortunately

217
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>it burned to the ground. That reel In on PCH

218
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>in the Palisades fire, well, the owner is looking to

219
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 2>rebuild and he has taken to go fund me to

220
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>launch a campaign to not only be able to rebuild,

221
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 2>but to also pay his employees as they are now

222
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>out of work. But he does expect to rebuild on

223
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the same site. The owner and he is working with

224
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.519
<v Speaker 2>California State Parks on a plan to do just that.

225
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>So the Real Inn is saying don't worry, will be back,

226
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and I know that is music to my ears because

227
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed visiting the Real in the numerous times

228
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.279
<v Speaker 2>I went. Another restaurant that hopes to come back in

229
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Malibu is the Chilada Thai Restaurant, a beloved place by

230
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>locals and visitors as well. The Chilada Thai Restaurant in

231
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Malibu there has been operating for twenty five years and

232
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>they're also looking for support online via GoFundMe to be

233
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 2>able to rebuild in the same place. And that is

234
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>very important to these business owners. They know that location

235
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>is not only everything, but that it ties them specifically

236
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.559
<v Speaker 2>to the community, a community that has seen them there

237
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>for twenty five thirty plus years, and to move it

238
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.639
<v Speaker 2>to a new location these restaurants could be disruptive to

239
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.960
<v Speaker 2>their overall culture. You can look for those two restaurants

240
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild in terms of the Outadena area Pasadena area

241
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 2>and that Eaten Fire Altadena lost Everest, Burger's, Cafe de Leche,

242
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and also the Little Red Hen Coffee Shop, and the

243
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Little Red Hen Coffee Shop was a family run soul

244
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 2>food restaurant. But their owner says that they are going

245
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild. They are going to rebuild, They are going

246
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild in the same place, and that they are

247
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 2>also looking for your support on their go fundme. They're

248
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.360
<v Speaker 2>looking for fifty thousand dollars to finance the rebuilding of

249
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>their business, which has been there for over twenty years.

250
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 2>I believe, so just another idea of what people have lost,

251
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.639
<v Speaker 2>cornerstones of these communities, homes as well as businesses that

252
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.720
<v Speaker 2>really made up the cultural specificity in the Palisades, in Malibu,

253
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.080
<v Speaker 2>in Alta Dina, and the ambitious efforts that are now

254
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>underway to rebuild, and not just rebuild, but in the

255
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>exact same spot with which the fires occurred. When we

256
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 2>come back, we're going to talk about events around southern

257
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 2>California for Black History Month. I want you to get

258
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>out there and I want you to enjoy yourself. You

259
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 2>deserve it. You deserve to get out there and do

260
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:19.240
<v Speaker 2>something nice during this month of February, in which there

261
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 2>are many wonderful events that celebrate the contributions of Black Americans.

262
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>In this country, and I'll tell you about where you

263
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>can go from Los Angeles to Orange County to do

264
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.679
<v Speaker 2>just that. When we come back. KFI AM six forty

265
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

266
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

267
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

268
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Tifny hobbs here with you until seven, and then Michael

269
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Monks comes aboard. I keep wanting to put someone else

270
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.399
<v Speaker 2>in the chair. No, it is Michael Monks who will

271
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.480
<v Speaker 2>be here. Absolutely. Make sure you stay tuned for that.

272
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday yesterday, some time yesterday while you were doing other things.

273
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.400
<v Speaker 2>President Trump was very busy, and one of the things

274
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.759
<v Speaker 2>that he did was he sat down in the Oval

275
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 2>office and he declared something. He made a proclamation, and

276
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>it was somewhat unexpected and probably a little ironic for others,

277
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 2>because his proclamation was made on the heels of the

278
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>critiques of things that would in fact probably be the

279
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.599
<v Speaker 2>antithesis to this proclamation. Okay, And what I mean is

280
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 2>President Trump sat down and he proclaimed February twenty twenty

281
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 2>five as National Black History Month. From President Trump's mouth

282
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.559
<v Speaker 2>to your ears and from my mouth to your ears,

283
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.319
<v Speaker 2>because I'm telling you that President Trump sat down and

284
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 2>he said, quote unquote, throughout our history, black Americans have

285
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>been among our country's most consequential leaders, shaping the cultural

286
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:10.359
<v Speaker 2>and political destiny of our nation in profound ways. He

287
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.599
<v Speaker 2>goes on to say, this National Black History Month, as

288
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 2>America prepares to enter a historic golden age, I want

289
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 2>to extend my tremendous gratitude to Black Americans for all

290
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>they have done to bring us to this moment, and

291
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.440
<v Speaker 2>for the many future contributions they will make as we

292
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:35.279
<v Speaker 2>advance into a future of limitless possibility under my administration.

293
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>He went on to say, I Donald J. Trump, President

294
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 2>of the United States of America, by virtue of the

295
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>authority vested in me by the Constitution and the Laws

296
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, do hereby proclaim February twenty twenty

297
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:55.920
<v Speaker 2>five as National Black History Month. So because President Trump

298
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 2>has proclaimed that February, as we are now in today's

299
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>February first starts Black History Month as it has for many, many,

00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 2>through American history. And these foundational works of poets date

380
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.799
<v Speaker 2>you to listener Jeff Briggs. We weren't able to play

381
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 2>his talkback, but Jeff has sent me so many ideas

382
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>for Black History Month. He's been very complementary of black

383
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 2>culture and has been very encouraging of me as a host,

384
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know, identified himself as a white male and

385
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.279
<v Speaker 2>wanted to make sure that I knew that not all

386
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.440
<v Speaker 2>white males were, you know, thinking that I'm a DEI higher.

387
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>He really wanted to speak positively about equity and diversity,

388
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and I thank you for that, Jeff Briggs. And I

389
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>just hope that I can be as intellectual as him

390
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 2>one day. And just he's so smart, this Jet Briggs.

391
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 2>He really was really well spoken, so well spoken. I

392
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>appreciate what he said. Very active member of society clearly,

393
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>and we think his exit, yeah, so good for his existence. Absolutely.

394
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I hope he, you know, sends us more. Definitely talk

395
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:09.079
<v Speaker 2>about his talkback set on the air. Okay, So getting

449
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:25.960
<v Speaker 3>This coffee is starting to kick in fight.

450
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, the aftermath of the fires has begun right, like,

451
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 6>they are fully contained and now we start the hard work.

452
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 6>And it seems like we're unclear on what that means.

453
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:38.599
<v Speaker 3>Who wants what? When do they want it? Pch is

454
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 3>opening tomorrow morning.

455
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.839
<v Speaker 6>I heard that, But people aren't all that happy about it,

456
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.000
<v Speaker 6>right because I'm like, exactly, So we're gonna talk a

457
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.400
<v Speaker 6>bit about that. There was a big fight this week

458
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.000
<v Speaker 6>inside La City Hall between council members. You don't see

459
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 6>that too often about how to respond to some more

460
00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:57.720
<v Speaker 6>of the fallout from the fires, which includes people losing income,

461
00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 6>like workers who may not have lived in the Palisades

462
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 6>but they worked there.

463
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Ooh that's fight. I watched, Yeah, I listened. I watched

464
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 2>online and it was explosive.

465
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.039
<v Speaker 6>It was Indeed, I watched a lot of council meetings

466
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 6>almost everyone, and this was a juicy one.

467
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I've got some clips. We're gonna play those.

468
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 6>Then there is an unlikely neighborhood in Los Angeles that says, hey,

469
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 6>Palisades people, while you're out looking for a new home.

470
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Choose us. You wouldn't expect this neighborhood to be the one.

471
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:25.640
<v Speaker 3>We're going to talk about that as well.

472
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:28.920
<v Speaker 6>And then I talked to a researcher from UC Irvine

473
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.960
<v Speaker 6>who says, if you listen to improvisational jazz, might take

474
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.680
<v Speaker 6>away your pain.

475
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh what's is your heartache? Oh? Her physical aches and pain,

476
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.039
<v Speaker 3>you know.

477
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:40.240
<v Speaker 2>And then if they go to the Inner City Youth

478
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Orchestra of LA next Sunday, February ninth, from four pm

479
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to seven pm, they might have.

480
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:49.079
<v Speaker 3>That It's like popping two tail in all perfect exactly.

481
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 2>I think I feel like you were put here just

482
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 2>to amplify this Black History Month event.

483
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:55.799
<v Speaker 3>I am an ally of the black man.

484
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I believe you, Michael Monks, don't you know don't say

485
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 2>that too. Last talkbacks are going to go craze Z.

486
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't say that here. No, but I appreciate that

487
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 2>you say that, because you know, we all should be

488
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 2>supporting each other, you know, at the risk of sounding

489
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:14.480
<v Speaker 2>very Pollyanna, No.

490
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:15.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, I like how.

491
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 6>Our good buddy Neil ends the Fork Report, you know,

492
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:22.000
<v Speaker 6>talking about go with empathy, you know, be kind to

493
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:23.599
<v Speaker 6>each other. It's very simple, and I wish we could

494
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 6>do that. And that's probably a bit of what I'm

495
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.440
<v Speaker 6>going to talk about with these fires. Yeah, is you know,

496
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.519
<v Speaker 6>why don't we, uh, why don't we figure out what

497
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.720
<v Speaker 6>the problem is and then fix the problem and not

498
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:35.359
<v Speaker 6>worry about who our political hero is, yes, and what

499
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 6>their reputation might be on the other side of this

500
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.880
<v Speaker 6>thing like that should be less like who cares which

501
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 6>political team wins. I mean a lot of people just

502
