9
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 2>want to tell you something in a minute. It just

10
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>occurred to me, and as I was watching TV last night.

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 4>First let me say.

12
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Hello, And there you are on a Thursday morning. Good morning,

<v Speaker 2>Sweatshirt.

16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's a time.

17
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 2>As much as I hate fires, but there's a time,

18
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, I sometimes wish that a fire would go

19
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 2>through your closet.

20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Wow, you know what I was.

21
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 5>I was putting my go bag together last night.

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I was Disney memorabile. Allow.

23
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 3>I understand Kelly was thinking about him, like what should

24
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 3>I take? Should I take my Disney Spirit jerseys?

25
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Of course you should in them.

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 4>And let's not to forget the mouse ears.

27
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 3>I did not pack mouse ears anyway.

28
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 4>So I wish this was TV.

29
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 2>So every day we'll see a different outfit than Amy

30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 2>wears that has Disneyland or Disney you're mickey on it.

31
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 5>I did not wear Disney yesterday.

32
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's right, you didn't.

33
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 6>Okay, all right, Neil, good morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf

34
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 6>and Kno good morning.

35
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 2>All right. So, as I just mentioned television, of course

36
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>today we're going to talk about the fires, naturally, because

37
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that is the big news.

38
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 4>You know, last night I watch ABC News.

39
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, ninety percent of the news coverage last night

40
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>was the fires.

41
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 4>It can a big deal, Bill it is.

42
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's a bigger deal than I thought it was,

43
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 6>because you don't give a crap about anything that doesn't

44
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 6>affect you personally.

45
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but that's besides the point, or maybe that is

46
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 4>the point.

47
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 6>Your pants would have to be on fire for you

48
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 6>to go, let's cover this.

49
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, probably, But I was.

50
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know David Muir who is the host of ABC,

51
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>they flew him in so he anchored.

52
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 4>From the fire one of the fire areas, and.

53
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>The reporters, the national reporters were there and I knew

54
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 2>it was a big story. I knew it was covered internationally,

55
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 2>but it was. It is a bigger story than I anticipated.

56
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>The same thing. With the death of Kobe, I didn't

57
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>quite get how big a story it was, And going

58
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>way back the death of Frank Sinatra, it's much bigger.

59
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I was in Norway at the time. By the way,

60
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>if you remember when Frank Sinatra died.

61
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 6>How could we remember that you were in Norway when

62
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 6>Frank Sinatra died.

63
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Because it's all about me in this case, the dead

64
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Frank Sinatra. Because I was on vacation and all of

65
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, Frank Sinatra is about to die. And David Hall,

66
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>our previous program director, said, get to a radio station.

67
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Your show is on. You're gonna host the show because

68
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>it's such a big deal. So I went to their

69
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>national radio station and it was these big Soviet blocks buildings,

70
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, those big staliness, solid concrete buildings. There was

71
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>the radio one was built in the thirties, and then

72
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the television one that was built in the fifties looked

73
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>just like it. And so I'm sitting there broadcasting just

74
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>a quick story. I'm sitting there broadcasting and the engineer,

75
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>this woman who they l speak perfect English, said do

76
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>you know where you're sitting, big cavernous room, in this

77
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>big desk with a microphone in front of it. Do

78
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>you know where you're sitting? And I said, no, that

79
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>is exactly the spot where Quizzling announced the puppet government

80
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>under Nazi Germany at the start of World War One,

81
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I started World War Two. I went, whoa, you know

82
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 2>how a history not? I am wow?

83
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 4>And it was I went out of my mind. Okay,

84
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 4>that's just where were you?

85
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Norway?

86
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh I see wow?

87
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, now a quick story about us our coverage,

88
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and I generally try not to blow our horn, as

89
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, saying oh, we're great, We're terrific. Oh, we're

90
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>just bitching people here. But as I was watching television

91
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>last night and I channeled surf, I go through all

92
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>the local stations to see what's going on and how

93
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>it's being covered. I noticed that the coverage was basically

94
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the same, you know, announcing the fier arey, here's a

95
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 2>weather report, reporters out on the field, walking along, Look

96
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>at the building behind me, look at this, look down

97
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the street, interviewing someone. I've lost everything and it's heartbreaking.

98
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean to see someone that's actually lost, but that's

99
00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the coverage. And then I think in this often happens

100
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>where I'm jealous of television because there's a lot of

101
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 2>visual that we can't and don't use. I mean, the

102
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>theater of the mind is a wonderful thing. And I

103
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>like radio far more than I like television, not only

104
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 2>having done television. It's a complete waste of time. In

105
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, it's not you. It's a producer talking in

106
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>your IU D in the ear. You know where the ID.

107
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 5>It's not an IUD in your ear?

108
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, so whatever the hell it is I FB yeah, okay,

109
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I was close. So in any case, you're it's not you.

110
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>It's some producer telling you what to say. And so

111
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>I get jealous of the coverage because they have the visuals.

112
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>And then I think of, here's what we do. For example,

113
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>today we're going to have the PR communications officer at

114
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 2>the pacaday in the Humane Society and get into not

115
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 2>just you can donate, you can have your animal be

116
00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>dropped off, but get into the story.

117
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

118
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>The same thing with Joel Larsguard. We're gonna have him

119
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 2>today about insurance issues, what's going on. They don't do

120
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 2>that on television. They do the quick, dirty story, Boom,

121
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>you're done. But here's your visual. And that's what I

122
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>love about what we do. And this one, this one,

123
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna blow our horn and say that's what makes

124
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>during times like this, that that's what makes it worth listening. Uh,

125
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>today we're gonna get Jim Keiney on who is going

126
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the medical aspects of the pollutants.

127
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 6>And uh, well they just call him Jim Kenney. You

128
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 6>know he works for a living. Why don't you call

129
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 6>him doctor Keeney.

130
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, because we've been on such friend you know, basis

131
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 2>of a friendship for so long. Okay, we're going to

132
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 2>talk to doctor Jim, the doctor Jim Keeney. Okay, he's

133
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a doctor, doctor, he's a doctor doctor. And uh, we're

134
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna have h Well, the pastor of Humane Society. We

135
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>have a connection a big one here. Uh do you

136
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>remember our previous aim JJL Amy plus about eighty pounds,

137
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>was with us and she was well connected.

138
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 4>By the way, JJL is fine with that. Okay, she lost.

139
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 2>About eighty five and she's looking absolutely great and it's

140
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 2>no longer going to be jj L. It's JJ you know.

141
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 3>And we still have that connection to pass the passa

142
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 3>humane because she has passed the leash to me and

143
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 3>now I do the wiggle waggon.

144
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I was about to say that, say so

145
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we maintain a very very good connection, and she started

146
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and Amy, thank you, Amy for beating me to the punch,

147
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 2>but Amy continues it. So there is there's kind of

148
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>a neat connection we have. And then we're going to

149
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>spend a real long time ripping at least a segment

150
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>ripping into Karen Bass, who was in Ghana while this

151
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>was going on, and well, really, Mayor, what were you

152
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>doing in Ghana? And she answered, she went, you know,

153
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 2>that's uh they speak. That's one of the.

154
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 6>She's fluent in that language. You know, I do you

155
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 6>know what? I love the La Times. They were writing

156
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 6>a story about that, which we'll get into. But they said,

157
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 6>while ever present on social media, and I'm like, you know,

158
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 6>she was in Ghana and I kept thinking, bull crap,

159
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 6>that wasn't her on social media? Some lackey is posting

160
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 6>general information on her you know, X account or whatever

161
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 6>it was. And they were like, while ever present from

162
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 6>far away, No, she wasn't.

163
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>She Whiz people, let's go ahead and take a break,

164
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to get into unfortunately, the news and

165
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's relatively good that this massive explosion moving

166
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>at eighty miles an hour, the fire is a little

167
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>bit better. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one,

168
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 2>but I think we're saying light at the end of

169
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the tunnel, too much light. But I think we're doing that. Amy.

170
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to throw it to you for the latest

171
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the hard facts, that is the number

172
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>of acres burned, evacuations, and what's going.

173
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 4>On beyond the last night.

174
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so we are expecting an update at eight o'clock,

175
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 3>so we're expecting these numbers to change. But what we

176
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 3>have is active fire zero percent surrounded in Palisades, still burning,

177
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 3>more than seventeen thousand acres burned, over one hundred thousand evacuated,

178
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>and about a thousand structures have burned.

179
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about.

180
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Homes, schools, businesses, restaurants, churches, you name it.

181
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm a little bit more optimistic because those numbers

182
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 2>have not really changed very much in terms of the

183
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>thousand structures that I was listening to last night. But

184
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it could be that we're going to get a big,

185
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 2>big update.

186
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, we don't know until they give us an update,

187
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 3>and again they haven't given updates on any of the

188
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 3>fire since yesterday, So as you mentioned, when they do,

189
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:08.799
<v Speaker 3>because yesterday we went from dozens up to a thousand

190
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 3>right for the Palisades fire, So that's that one. In

191
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 3>the fire that's burning in Altadena near Pasadena, it's ten

192
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 3>thoy six hundred acres, about seventy thousand people evacuated, and

193
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 3>there are varying numbers, but the latest we've seen is

194
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 3>nine hundred and seventy two structures destroyed. And in the

195
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Pasadena Water District they're seeing don't drink the water bottled

196
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 3>water only. It's not even a boil order. It's bottled

197
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 3>water only because of contamination from the fires. The Hurst

198
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 3>fire in Silmar, that's the one that's burning north of

199
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 3>the two ten and east of the just or south

200
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 3>of the five fifty sorry five fourteen interchange. That one's

201
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 3>burned about eight hundred and fifty five acres. There are

202
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 3>evacuation orders, but no reports of any buildings home structures

203
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 3>being burned at the point. And this is something we

204
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 3>haven't seen on any of these fires that are raging

205
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Speaker 3>out of control. Ten percent surrounded at this point, so

206
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 3>firefighters are actually making some headway on that one in

207
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 3>of course, the sunset fire that broke out last night

208
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>about five point thirty. That's the one that was in

209
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.080
<v Speaker 3>the run In Canyon area and quickly spread to almost

210
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 3>fifty acres. Lots of evacuations were ordered, people got out,

211
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 3>clogged streets, it was a mess. But most of the

212
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 3>evacuation orders have now been lifted and the water dropping

213
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.600
<v Speaker 3>helicopters really made a difference in that one and we're

214
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 3>able to stop it from spreading into neighborhoods.

215
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a couple of things. When we were on the

216
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>air yesterday, we would have you during when daylight hours

217
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 2>said we had no idea of the extent of the

218
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 2>fire other than sort of a guess this is the

219
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>fire department, because they really didn't know how many structures

220
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 2>because the aircraft weren't in the air well yesterday, I

221
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>think towards the end of the afternoon aircraft were able

222
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>to go in the air and so we are going

223
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>to get.

224
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 4>A much better idea.

225
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Also, and yesterday looking at Instagram of high end or

226
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 2>celebrities names that you recognize who have lost their homes,

227
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 2>and that list is extraordinary and I can't tell you

228
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 2>how many people who have contacted me, texted me, who

229
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 2>in fact have evacuated? I had an hour with my

230
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>shrink yesterday. I usually do a zoom call with my psychologist.

231
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 2>What a shocker that have a therapist, right, Neil?

232
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Only an hour?

233
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? At only an hour? And Neil, I don't know

234
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>if Neil and who have known probably for almost thirty years,

235
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>there's ever been a moment that I didn't have a therapist,

236
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>neurotic jew all that stuff. Anyway, she had evacuated and

237
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>she really no place to go, so she went into

238
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a humane Seltzer shelter. So I was doing my therapy

239
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 2>with her and there were horses in the background and

240
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 2>dogs moving around. Let me tell you how pleasant that was.

241
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 6>How could she not own her own island at this point?

242
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 6>Being your shrink? Yeah, the amount of time and money spent.

243
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean, seriously, she should have a small country by now.

244
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It's it's really very depressing, very depressing. I mean

245
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>it's uh, it's and I do it twice a week

246
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays, I hate my mother when I

247
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:21.759
<v Speaker 2>have sex with the dog, and then on Thursday it's

248
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>just the reverse. Okay, enough of that, fort there's something.

249
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 5>About Oedipus Rex in there.

250
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah with the dog literally, yeah, okay, Uh.

251
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>In any case, Uh, we're gonna get somewhat of an idea.

252
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>But amy based on what I said and what I

253
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>have seen, and you guys have been at it all night,

254
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Neil and Cobalt and Conway and Moe did five hours

255
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.320
<v Speaker 2>last night. I mean, it's kind of crazy. Do I

256
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 2>have it right where? It's sort of the the It

257
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 2>has turned a corner, not so much containment, but in

258
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 2>terms of the raging wildfires that were moving at one

259
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred miles an hour down the hills.

260
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, not necessarily. Okay, the winds have died down considerably.

261
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 3>We are still expecting some gusty winds. But if you

262
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 3>saw a picture of the fire that's burning above Altadena,

263
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 3>they Eaton Canyon fire. There was a whole hillside in

264
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.679
<v Speaker 3>the dark of night, and it looked like street lights

265
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 3>dotting the hillside, but it wasn't. It was fires. I mean,

266
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.519
<v Speaker 3>so fire is still burning, actively burning, and houses are

267
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 3>still being destroyed.

268
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I got a text yesterday today. I was supposed to

269
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 2>have a meeting with a couple of management folks at

270
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>KFI and got a text from one of them saying,

271
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I can't make it to the meeting. I lost my

272
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.960
<v Speaker 2>house in the Palisades and I don't know what to do.

273
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's, I mean, absolutely heartbreaking. We'll be getting a

274
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of that.

275
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.279
<v Speaker 4>There is.

276
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Lindsay's cousin who had built their dream house. She and

277
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>her husband had built their dream house in Malibu. It

278
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:08.279
<v Speaker 2>burnt to the ground, so they built it again, and

279
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>we don't know if it's around and do you build

280
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 2>it a third time? And at some point you say, yeah,

281
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so when do you walk away? And

282
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>we're not talking about a shack on silts in the

283
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Louisiana Bayou that takes you three days to put together. Either.

284
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 4>It's the devastation is it's tough, it really is to.

285
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 5>See that, and the not knowing is really difficult.

286
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 3>My brother's an architectural photographer and he's been working on

287
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 3>a house that's in the Palisades for a year where

288
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:45.159
<v Speaker 3>they're documenting the construction because this is some really wall

289
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 3>house and so he's been working on it. Actually it's

290
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 3>been a couple of years that they go and they

291
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 3>photograph it as it's being built, and they said, we

292
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.240
<v Speaker 3>don't know if it's even still there, and so it'll

293
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 3>be interesting to see.

294
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 6>You know, I think you have a false sense of

295
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 6>it mellowing out right now because the winds are not

296
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:07.039
<v Speaker 6>as insane.

297
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and maybe you're right.

298
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:13.039
<v Speaker 6>I've got seven cameras in front or seven TVs in

299
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.120
<v Speaker 6>front of me, and there is no dearth of.

300
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 4>Fire footage live right now.

301
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.159
<v Speaker 6>And you know all the la USD schools are closed,

302
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 6>You've got smoke, horrible air quality.

303
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:35.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's over. No, I know it's not over.

304
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's granted, But as I'm here, I am

305
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.279
<v Speaker 2>an unusually optimistic and that I think we're at a

306
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.960
<v Speaker 2>different point than we were yesterday. We won't know. You

307
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.080
<v Speaker 2>may be right, Amy may be right, and when the

308
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 2>press conference comes in at eight am this morning, we

309
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.960
<v Speaker 2>may just shake our heads and just wonder at how

310
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>quickly and how much more devastation, how much more blittering

311
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.679
<v Speaker 2>of homes and businesses, there are we are in the

312
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 2>midst of historical incident here in southern California. Last night

313
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:14.079
<v Speaker 2>I was watching national news in ABC specifically last night,

314
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.720
<v Speaker 2>ninety percent of the broadcast was of these fires. Extraordinary

315
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.640
<v Speaker 2>with US Fred Fielding, who is the LA Fire Department

316
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Public Service Public Information officer. Fred. Thanks for taking the

317
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>time to talk to us. I would like you to

318
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>comment on a couple of statements that were made yesterday

319
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:38.440
<v Speaker 2>through the various agents. Do I have that wrong? Oh?

320
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry? What am I talking about? I'm already I'm

321
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.319
<v Speaker 2>already an hour and a half, an hour ahead of us.

322
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, here's the problem, And I'm not going to

323
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:54.119
<v Speaker 2>blame myself. You know, Chris Berry, who is our management

324
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:58.599
<v Speaker 2>interimped walked in the studio and he started talking to me,

325
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.799
<v Speaker 2>and he knows how easily I am distracted. So this

326
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.000
<v Speaker 2>is Chris's fault, not mine.

327
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.400
<v Speaker 4>All right, Okay, why don't we go back?

328
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I was looking up at the rundown again.

329
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 4>My fault. Cono, stop looking at me this way?

330
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Please? What do you mean?

331
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 1>You know?

332
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 2>You don't look at me like a I'm a complete moron?

333
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

334
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And your paper that Anna prepares for you, you do nothing.

335
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.119
<v Speaker 4>You just have to read it and look pretty.

336
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Thursday, January ninth, twenty twenty five. Hi, I'm Bill Handle.

337
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 4>This is KFI. He's actually reading athetic.

338
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 2>All right.

339
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 4>When he jokes he has to read.

340
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Two Jews walk into a bar. Okay, let's uh just

341
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.680
<v Speaker 2>continue on.

342
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.000
<v Speaker 6>He has cute cards for when he's loved making ooh ah,

343
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 6>Bobby baby.

344
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, misread that.

345
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, back we go more handle on the news.

346
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Sorry about that, everybody, Amy and me, Neil. So let's

347
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.880
<v Speaker 2>let's go through a couple of things that we still

348
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.440
<v Speaker 2>have to cover. One of those is the number of

349
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 2>people that are without power in southern California. Hundreds of

350
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>thousands people without power, Amy, do we have some geography

351
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:30.559
<v Speaker 2>on that.

352
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 5>We do, and we have numbers for you.

353
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 3>So three hundred and twelve thousand of those are so

354
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 3>Cal Edison customers, nine LADWP customers, thirty six hundred Glendale

355
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 3>Water and Power customers, and fifteen hundred of them are

356
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Pasadena Water and Power portions of the city like Pacific Palisades,

357
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 3>Hollywood Hills. They had power intentionally turned off during the firefight.

358
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 3>Other areas, including throughout the San Fernando Valley where a

359
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 3>friend of mine has had her power out for like

360
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.240
<v Speaker 3>two full days at least, have also been affected.

361
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I tell you hundreds of thousands of people without power,

362
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and I have people that I know it's now what

363
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>three days no power? My daughter, who is has no power,

364
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:21.799
<v Speaker 2>went to her roommate's cousin who is in Manhattan Beach,

365
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 2>and she called me last night she said, I'm on

366
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.599
<v Speaker 2>my way, and she got there and she took her

367
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:34.240
<v Speaker 2>two dogs, the big Kendall and Vinnie. I mean those

368
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>are two like seventy five pound dogs who went down there,

369
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 2>and she says, now I can get some food because

370
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.720
<v Speaker 2>there's just there's been no power at my place. So

371
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 2>whether they're not alone, and the problem is no one

372
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>can of course tell us they have no power because

373
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>there's no power, and they don't have any juice left

374
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.759
<v Speaker 2>on their phones because there's no power to charge their phones,

375
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and it is a mess.

376
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 4>Backup batteries, do you know?

377
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 6>There are and I can't remember the name right now,

378
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 6>but it's about the size of a credit card. It

379
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.680
<v Speaker 6>could fit in your wallet. And there emergency chargers for

380
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 6>your phone. They're in my go bag, they're in you

381
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:12.279
<v Speaker 6>know there. It really is not difficult to back yourself up.

382
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 6>You can find other ones that will charge your phone

383
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.200
<v Speaker 6>with a double a battery.

384
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Huh See, I didn't know that. I just keep my

385
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 2>phone charged. It makes sense. So if anybody just contact

386
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Neil and he'll tell you where to go on that.

387
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh by oh, I'm sorry you can't contact Neil because

388
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.680
<v Speaker 2>you have no power and you have no batteries.

389
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.079
<v Speaker 6>That's right, Well, then, who they're not listening to us?

390
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 6>Then they are because they have their hand crank radios.

391
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Which you used growing up.

392
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Not even gonna go there, covered wagon, I am not

393
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>even going to go there, all right.

394
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 6>Cruise continued to battle of fires all over the south Land,

395
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:58.200
<v Speaker 6>including Hollywood Hills, and they knocked down the Studio City fire,

396
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 6>thank god, that was a structure fire. And then we

397
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 6>saw the solar drive there in Hollywood Hills shortly after

398
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 6>five point thirty.

399
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 4>You've been hearing Amy King talk.

400
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:16.240
<v Speaker 6>About that, that they had sixty acres or so, and

401
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 6>the chaos that ensued in these very narrow streets that

402
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 6>are throughout the Hollywood Hills was insane. And to see

403
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.759
<v Speaker 6>it completely blocked off, that's when we actually started getting

404
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.240
<v Speaker 6>the most. My wife and I started getting the most

405
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 6>texts and people calling because they heard there was these

406
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 6>massive traffic jams throughout Sunset and the like.

407
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Because of that.

408
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.480
<v Speaker 2>We heard, I mean, you can imagine the authorities driving

409
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>down or moving down the side of a road and

410
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 2>telling people get out of your cars, abandon your cars

411
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and start walking or running down the hill while they're

412
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.160
<v Speaker 2>trying to get first responders up and everything is blocked.

413
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, a lot of this fire is unprecedented

414
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 2>in terms of its size, scope, its effects.

415
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 6>It's just it's Shannon Fairn referred to it as generational,

416
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 6>and I think she's spot on there that this is

417
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 6>not something that you're going to see again. This is

418
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.720
<v Speaker 6>a big generational event.

419
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.880
<v Speaker 2>It's described. We hear this on the news, we hear this,

420
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:31.440
<v Speaker 2>We hear us talking about the dystopian post apoc, post pop,

421
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:36.759
<v Speaker 2>post apoc elliptic. Oh see, it wasn't spelled correctly, and

422
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you didn't put that word right on my board.

423
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 6>Watching your face try to defecate that word out of

424
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.119
<v Speaker 6>your mouth was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

425
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

426
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.640
<v Speaker 4>It was a poke a to see you do it exactly.

427
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is why I have a rough time being

428
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.920
<v Speaker 2>hired outside of the station.

429
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.359
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

430
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Bass is back, and she's come back to a

431
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:06.680
<v Speaker 3>literal and political firestorm. She left on Saturday to head

432
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 3>to Ghana part of a presidential delegation, and Saturday is

433
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.720
<v Speaker 3>when the National Weather Service really started ratcheting up its

434
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 3>warnings about the windstorm and the potentially devastating, deadly windstorm

435
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:24.559
<v Speaker 3>that they were warning about. And on Tuesday, when the

436
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:27.920
<v Speaker 3>worst of the fires were starting, she was attending the

437
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.279
<v Speaker 3>inauguration of Ghana's new president. She returned to Lax got

438
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:35.720
<v Speaker 3>off the plane and there's a video of a sky

439
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 3>News or border just peppering her with questions, Madam mayor,

440
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 3>have you absolutely nothing to say about the citizens today

441
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 3>who are dealing with this disaster? Madam Mayor should you

442
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 3>have been here, Madam Mayor do you regret not being

443
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.240
<v Speaker 3>in La when this devastation was hitting?

444
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 5>She didn't answer, she didn't look at him.

445
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.119
<v Speaker 2>She got real violent. She was going to get hit

446
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>pretty hard by this one. You know, at seven o'clock

447
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about more about But keep in

448
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:06.480
<v Speaker 2>mind someone becomes mayor, they're on an airplane visiting, for example,

449
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 2>sister cities. You know, LA has more sister cities of

450
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>which the mayor travels all over the world than a

451
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:21.440
<v Speaker 2>fundamentalist Mormon family. It's all sister cities out there and inaugurations.

452
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 4>And let me ask you, why would the mayor of Los.

453
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Angeles go to an inauguration of a Gananian or Ghanian president.

454
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Where is the connection?

455
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 4>What does that have to do with our world?

456
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:39.920
<v Speaker 6>Stay here, fill the potholes, make it safe, and make

457
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 6>sure that we have what we need for firefighters.

458
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're going to rip into her seven o'clock legitimately.

459
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.599
<v Speaker 4>And it's not so much.

460
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 2>As she even going there, because that's just the political

461
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Those are just political.

462
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 4>Fun junkets that elected officials get.

463
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 5>So why should she get to have political fun junkets.

464
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 4>Because that's what they do. Because that's what they do,

465
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:00.880
<v Speaker 4>she should way.

466
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, she was wrong in terms of not anticipating what

467
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.799
<v Speaker 2>was happening because it was called for a couple of days.

468
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:09.599
<v Speaker 2>She should have been an airplane two days.

469
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Before or a day before.

470
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 2>But on top of that, she cut the funding of

471
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the fire department.

472
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:18.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that.

473
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Is Boy, there's some answers that we're going to need

474
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.799

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>point fifty.

476
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.480
<v Speaker 4>All right.

477
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Uber Lift, they are offering free rides to evacuated wildfire

478
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:33.640

487
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.240

488
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>are giving free rides, which is neat good for them. Frankly,

489
00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:12.119
<v Speaker 2>I would take Uber because it give you more money.

490
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 4>You can stop off and pick some things up on

491
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 4>the way, just.

492
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.799
<v Speaker 2>On the way, and it's good for them, good for

495
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.200
<v Speaker 3>you know what to do. Pets are a different story

496
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.839
<v Speaker 3>and they need her help, our help, and Pasadena Humane

497
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:34.799
<v Speaker 3>is one of the shelters who's helping.

503
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.759

504
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 3>ones who got lost and maybe they got scared and

505
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.559
<v Speaker 3>took off and they're coming in with burn injuries, but

506
