Speaker 1: little bit Uh yeah, I get a little shweaty and
Speaker 1: uh you know in that area, the fruit package area.
Speaker 2: All right, just wanted to share You're welcome, good morning,
Speaker 2: good morning. All right.
Speaker 1: Today we have some things going on that I want
Speaker 1: to share with you. First of all, the press conference
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock, our daily press conference.
Speaker 2: We had from Southern California.
Speaker 1: Authorities, our first success from Scratch segment that we have
Speaker 1: done in a long time. We are adding we're bringing
Speaker 1: it back success from Scratch.
Speaker 3: I love that segment.
Speaker 2: Yep, We're bringing it.
Speaker 1: Back it'll be every Monday now eight thirties till nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: We had to replace Wayne who has retired. He's no
Speaker 1: longer with us, and so it was kind of fun.
Speaker 1: And today we're going to inaugurate it with a story
Speaker 1: about Dan Granger. Dan is joining us at eight thirty
Speaker 1: and Dan started his media career here on KFI twenty
Speaker 1: five years ago, and he has become a mogul in
Speaker 1: the media advertising world.
Speaker 2: And now you're going to talk to him. Fun stuff.
Speaker 1: I've watched his career blossom and it's delightful to see
Speaker 1: a guy and he's very interesting.
Speaker 2: He's got some great stories about.
Speaker 1: How he went from there to here, or from here
Speaker 1: to there, or from over there to kind of over
Speaker 1: here and then moved over nevermind, why don't we move
Speaker 1: on and start with Handle on the news with Amy
Speaker 1: O'Neil and me lead story. No surprise with the death
Speaker 1: toll from the Eaton and Palistates fire now twenty four
Speaker 1: and I believe another dozen people or so are missing.
Speaker 2: So as they're.
Speaker 1: Going, as the fire officials are going, well, fire men
Speaker 1: and women are going from house to house looking for
Speaker 1: both I think embers that are still smoldering and trying
Speaker 1: to find people.
Speaker 2: Twenty four people so.
Speaker 1: Far, and it's not easy to identify them either because
Speaker 1: people that are burning a fire, there's not much left
Speaker 1: of them, so.
Speaker 2: Fingerprints don't work.
Speaker 1: Even teeth examination sometimes doesn't work. So it is tough,
Speaker 1: and we'll do more about that, of course throughout the
Speaker 1: show this morning.
Speaker 4: Damn the Environment, full speed ahead. Governor Newsom says he
Speaker 4: wants environmental laws suspended for the wildlife victim who want
Speaker 4: to rebuild their homes in business so you can get
Speaker 4: bogged down and all of that stuff, and he said
Speaker 4: California leads the nation in environmental stewardship. I'm not going
Speaker 4: to give that up. But he said one thing he
Speaker 4: won't give into is delay, and he wants people to
Speaker 4: be able to start buildings, so they're going to waive
Speaker 4: environmental regulations so they can start.
Speaker 1: Rebuilding, which is these environmental these regulations in general are
Speaker 1: crazy here in southern California. As I've not mentioned this
Speaker 1: for a lot of years or for several months, but
Speaker 1: during law school, I worked my way through law school
Speaker 1: as a general contractor. I actually had a contracting company.
Speaker 1: It was called There was no chance for this not
Speaker 1: to go bankrupt incorporated, and what a shocker. I went
Speaker 1: bankrupt thirty five years ago. Forty years ago, it was
Speaker 1: almost impossible to build because of the regulations.
Speaker 2: Today it is insane to build.
Speaker 1: And those regulations are being removed, at least the statewide regulations,
Speaker 1: the Coastal Commission, and a few others La City where
Speaker 1: I built. That's still up in the air as to
Speaker 1: whether those regulations are going to be lifted. I'm going
Speaker 1: to do more about this story at seven point thirty
Speaker 1: where I'll talk about the environmental rules being suspended for
Speaker 1: the rebuilding of the Palisades Alta Dina and will do
Speaker 1: that because there's a story there I want to share
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 4: Fake firefighter busted in the burn zone. So a man
Speaker 4: was dressed like a firefighter was arrested after being caught
Speaker 4: burglarizing a home allegedly in the Malibu area. That's according
Speaker 4: to La County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Robert Luna said he
Speaker 4: was in the area he saw the guy who looked
Speaker 4: like a firefighter sitting down and asked if he was okay,
Speaker 4: and then realized that he had handcuffs on. Chief McDonald
Speaker 4: said the man was arrested for impersonating a firefighter.
Speaker 3: Twenty nine people have been arrested so far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting one.
Speaker 1: And have you ever gone to Party City and seen
Speaker 1: their costumes, you know, for little kids, they have a
Speaker 1: firefighter outfit that.
Speaker 2: Your little one can use, and he was caught in
Speaker 2: one of those.
Speaker 1: He didn't fit him very well, but that's a crime
Speaker 1: in and of itself, impersonating a firefighter or a policeman.
Speaker 1: Usually he would get impersonating cops and then I think
Speaker 1: they only charged him at this point for impersonating a firefighter.
Speaker 1: That's the initial charge, but he was caught burglarizing a
Speaker 1: home and they're putting that charge together, so you're going
Speaker 1: to see him get some time, for sure.
Speaker 3: The Guard's presence is getting bigger.
Speaker 4: Governor Newsom has announced that he's called up more California
Speaker 4: National Guard members to fight the fires in southern California.
Speaker 4: He says he's adding a thousand more members. That brings
Speaker 4: the total of National Guard service members for this wildfire
Speaker 4: event to twenty five hundred. They'll be assisting with public
Speaker 4: safety efforts and communities devastated by fires. He says they're
Speaker 4: also fighting the fires. I thought that they were only
Speaker 4: doing a lot of harsh I.
Speaker 1: Can't get how what does National Guard do to fight
Speaker 1: the fires other than maybe lug fire hoses and help firefighters.
Speaker 2: Those fire hosers get pretty pretty weighty.
Speaker 3: They get to be hurrying to do that.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: I don't know how, but training you need to lug
Speaker 1: a hose up a hill. But still they have. When
Speaker 1: you see these firefighters taking hoses up the hill, you're
Speaker 1: how big and heavy? Those are like four inches in
Speaker 1: diameter and they're just so Maybe that I may be
Speaker 1: dead wrong on that matter of fact, I probably am
Speaker 1: not that that doesn't happen very often, but I'd love
Speaker 1: to know what the National Guard actually does pro guarding,
Speaker 1: because it's a national Guard, probably guards communities with looters,
Speaker 1: people coming in during evacuation areas like they did. Do
Speaker 1: you remember the Watts riots were the Rodney King riots
Speaker 1: where National Guard was placed on every street corner.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. So, City of Santa Monica, where did I
Speaker 4: just see this? Robert Luna, the sheriff, was saying that
Speaker 4: they're going to be staged around the area assisting emergency
Speaker 4: operations and like you said, curfew and patrolling neighborhoods making
Speaker 4: sure people aren't looting and that kind of thing. I
Speaker 4: don't know how much they're actually assisting with actual firefighting.
Speaker 3: Okay, don't mess with the new DA.
Speaker 4: Charges are going to be announced this afternoon against a
Speaker 4: guy who's accused of arson in Azusa and a group
Speaker 4: of people who are tied to some looting in Pacific
Speaker 4: Palisades County. DA Nathan Hofkman says these criminals need to
Speaker 4: hear an unmistakably clear message that if you want to loot,
Speaker 4: if you want to commit burglary, if you want to
Speaker 4: commit grand theft, you will be arrested, You will be prosecuted,
Speaker 4: you will be punished to the full extent of the law.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he came on yesterday and reiterated that with us,
Speaker 1: and he's made it pretty clear. It's unfortunately the laws
Speaker 1: regarding looting aren't nearly stringent enough. There have been many
Speaker 1: times and there are jurisdictions around the world where looters
Speaker 1: are shot on site.
Speaker 2: That's how serious looting is, and of course we don't
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: It should be Looting should be a felony of at
Speaker 1: least ten or fifteen years, maybe twenty years.
Speaker 2: Mandatory ten years.
Speaker 1: It's that bad looting because that is the complete falling
Speaker 1: apart of society as we know it.
Speaker 4: The mayor's facing a firestorm of her own. There's a
Speaker 4: change dot org petition demanding the resignation of La Mayor
Speaker 4: Karen Bass. It's got more than one hundred thousand signatures
Speaker 4: so far. The petition accuses Bass of gross mismanagement a
Speaker 4: lack of leadership during the wildfire crisis. It says that
Speaker 4: her diplomatic trip to Ghana when she was in Africa
Speaker 4: instead of here as the fire started as a big reason.
Speaker 4: Also criticized the city's preparation and resource allocation, including water
Speaker 4: shortages in the Pacific Palisades area and underfunding of emergency services.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of optics here, you know, we
Speaker 1: look at in hindsight, look what happened. We didn't have
Speaker 1: enough water pressure or the fire fighters didn't have enough
Speaker 1: water pressure. And she cut seventeen million dollars from the
Speaker 1: fire budget or the LA Fire Department budget. The reality
Speaker 1: is is, there isn't jack that she could have done.
Speaker 1: The seventeen million dollars could have been there, It could
Speaker 1: have been a full budget, wouldn't have changed the thing
Speaker 1: the low water pressure. It as bad as it is.
Speaker 1: And there are reasons which I'll get into, because there's
Speaker 1: a whole world to the story of water pressure. Nothing
Speaker 1: could have been done. It would have changed zero had
Speaker 1: the budget been doubled. And I'll explain a little bit
Speaker 1: of that later on to say, you know, and we
Speaker 1: should actually add that you know that and talk about
Speaker 1: that story because it is really important.
Speaker 2: Oh, we are doing it at seven point fifty. There
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: I just read the hell oh there you go. I'll
Speaker 1: have to do is read down and there it is. Damn,
Speaker 1: I am good.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm good. Yeah, you are good.
Speaker 1: And then the only issue that I would argue is
Speaker 1: Karen Bass was in Gonea, which is fine because it's
Speaker 1: a junket, and she was going to the inauguration to
Speaker 1: the Gananian president, the new Ghanaian president.
Speaker 2: I think it was on behalf of the White House.
Speaker 2: I have no idea. In any case, she pretended she
Speaker 2: was not there.
Speaker 1: And there was postings being done on her behalf that
Speaker 1: sort of implied that she was in Los Angeles and
Speaker 1: she's getting nailed for that rightly. So on that one,
Speaker 1: that's optics. Nothing she could have been all over Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: She could have been out on a firefighting front and
Speaker 1: nothing would have changed. But what she did instead of saying,
Speaker 1: I'm in Ghana, I got here before the fires, I
Speaker 1: know what's happening, I'm on the first plane, I get
Speaker 1: my hands on, whether it's a military plane, whether it's
Speaker 1: a commercial flight, I'm on my way, and then kept
Speaker 1: in touch. She didn't do that. Stupid bad optics. The
Speaker 1: rest of it. No chance that she should be nailed
Speaker 1: for that. What else does she do wrong?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: She cut the fire department budget by seventeen million. If
Speaker 1: that doesn't change anything, why is she getting nailed now?
Speaker 2: The fire chief Crowley is.
Speaker 1: Blaming her for not bringing not allowing the fire department
Speaker 1: to meet its standards, to meet the amount of money
Speaker 1: it needs. But nothing would have changed. This fire was
Speaker 1: so extraordinary. What it did was no one anticipated this fire.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Let me give you a quick we'll take a break
Speaker 2: in a minute. Let me give you a quick analogy here.
Speaker 1: Okay, we have building codes here in southern California that
Speaker 1: probably could withstand a seven point four seven point five,
Speaker 1: the richer scale about.
Speaker 2: Seven point five, where it's we're pretty good.
Speaker 1: What happens when a nine point one hits and LA
Speaker 1: is destroyed.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you should have known.
Speaker 1: We should have building codes that withstand that you can't.
Speaker 2: At some point, you can't do it all right.
Speaker 4: Governor Newsom's not only fighting with Trump, He's got a
Speaker 4: beef with Elon two. Governor Newsom has accused Elon Musk
Speaker 4: of encouraging looting.
Speaker 3: So he said that.
Speaker 4: Musk shared posts on his social media platform x that
Speaker 4: claimed Newsom had decriminalized looting. So he responded saying, stop
Speaker 4: stop encouraging looting by lying and telling people it's decriminalized.
Speaker 3: It is not. That was Newsom's response.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, well, Musk has joined the crazies. In
Speaker 1: terms of conspiracy theories. You can say a lot about
Speaker 1: the governor and overturning Prop forty seven and decriminalizing, for example,
Speaker 1: shoplifting anything under nine hundred and fifty dollars is now
Speaker 1: a misdemeanor, but looting has.
Speaker 2: Not been touched.
Speaker 1: And why he would say, well, political reasons, of course.
Speaker 1: Why he would say Newsom is encouraging looting with his
Speaker 1: decriminalization of certain crimes.
Speaker 2: It's just not true. It's just not true.
Speaker 1: But the truth doesn't matter to a lot of people,
Speaker 1: including Elon Musk boy, has he drunk the kool aid?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Backed classes?
Speaker 4: Most LA Unified School District schools are going to reopen today.
Speaker 4: Of course, they've been closed because of the wildfires, but
Speaker 4: the superintendent says they've replaced air filters in K through
Speaker 4: five elementary schools, like a thousand of them, but there
Speaker 4: are a few that are going to remain closed. Kenyon
Speaker 4: Charter Elementary, Kent Kenyon Charter Elementary, Palisades Charter Elementary, Marquez
Speaker 4: Charter Elementary, Topanga Charter Elementary, and Lanai Road Elementary, and
Speaker 4: also Paul Revere Middle School. They're going to make a
Speaker 4: decision on Roskamar is It Roskamari Road Elementary and Community.
Speaker 2: Messkimore, Roskamar Roskimore, Yes exactly.
Speaker 3: Okay, and Community Magnet Charter. Going to make a decision
Speaker 3: on those this morning.
Speaker 4: Most of them, they say conditions have improved enough that
Speaker 4: they can reopen. And then Santa Monica schools, most of
Speaker 4: them are reopening. Malibu schools are staying closed for a
Speaker 4: couple more days at.
Speaker 1: Least, so parents, you feel good about your kids going
Speaker 1: back to classes at all.
Speaker 2: I unified and learning how to be illiterate?
Speaker 4: Is Meta kissing up to the new administration. Meta's oversight
Speaker 4: board co chair Michael McConnell says Meta's decision to end
Speaker 4: its fact checking program looks like the company is caving
Speaker 4: to political pressure. Changes to metas fact checking program come
Speaker 4: within two weeks the President Elect Trump's inauguration and after
Speaker 4: CEO Mark Zuckerberg Satin had dinner in Mari Lago with
Speaker 4: Trump in November.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a group of tech giants and they
Speaker 1: you ever gone when you see the pope having a
Speaker 1: small audience and people stand in line to kiss his ring.
Speaker 1: That's what happened that evening with the tech people. The
Speaker 1: tech giants lee going up to him and bending the knee.
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, this guy is more powerful.
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine this. So's you're gonna see Meta
Speaker 1: and the other platforms saying that the quote fact checking
Speaker 1: that was done well.
Speaker 2: Zuckerberg said that was too.
Speaker 1: Politically motivated, and he's now moving into you can say
Speaker 1: anything you want at any time. Conspiracy theorists go crazy,
Speaker 1: and there's an argument there does the First Amendment give
Speaker 1: you the right to say anything about anyone and conspiracy theories. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does unless you have some self imposed restrictions like
Speaker 1: these platforms did, like fact checking, and that's.
Speaker 2: Gone for the most part. That's tough. That's tough.
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand First Amendment, you know, and you
Speaker 1: cann't have that argument or people allowed to, you know,
Speaker 1: for example, have a Confederate flag and down the street
Speaker 1: or Nazi flags. Yeah they are, yeah they are. And
Speaker 1: that's what this is basically. You know, if people want
Speaker 1: to do it, they want to do it. And Elon
Speaker 1: Musk has been the head of this. He's never changed
Speaker 1: his tune. I'll tell you one thing. Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: no hypocrite. He has argued from day one. You can
Speaker 1: say whatever the hell you want on social media. You
Speaker 1: can lie, you can exaggerate, it doesn't matter, which is
Speaker 1: why we've got so many conspiracy theories going crazy out there,
Speaker 1: because people go on social media and they propound it,
Speaker 1: they expand on it.
Speaker 2: It's and what is it.
Speaker 1: Most people get their news, most people, young people get
Speaker 1: their news from TikTok.
Speaker 2: Now do I have that right? You know? I don't.
Speaker 2: I get the news from Amy. Maybe I should go
Speaker 2: to TikTok.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Well, it's going to be banned
Speaker 3: in a week.
Speaker 2: No, it's going to be bought in a week. Some
Speaker 2: of the American group is going to buy TikTok.
Speaker 3: I think do you think by Dance will sell?
Speaker 1: Either they sell or they're banned in banned in the
Speaker 1: United States. I think the Supreme Court is not yet ruled,
Speaker 1: has it? They just they yeah, and so we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. Unless until the Supreme Court rules, they may
Speaker 1: stay the January nineteenth supposed to happen in six days.
Speaker 1: They may stay the law that says it has to
Speaker 1: be sold. So we'll see what happens. Could be a
Speaker 1: big week.
Speaker 3: By the right.
Speaker 4: Thirty nine percent of adults under thirty say they regularly
Speaker 4: get their news from TikTok.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic, isn't it.
Speaker 1: This is why Americans know so much about how vaccines
Speaker 1: cause autism and they'll kill.
Speaker 2: You, all right.
Speaker 4: So not everyone, apparently, should get a get out of
Speaker 4: jail free card. Vice President elect jd Vance says violent
Speaker 4: rioters from the January sixth riot should not get pardoned.
Speaker 4: He was on Fox News Sunday yesterday and said, if
Speaker 4: you protested peacefully on January sixth, and you've had Merrick
Speaker 4: Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member.
Speaker 4: You should be pardoned, but if you committed violence that day,
Speaker 4: obviously you should not be pardoned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is very different, for one, from what President
Speaker 1: Trump is saying. He has said that all of the protesters,
Speaker 1: those that overran the Capitol were peaceful demonstrations, That's what
Speaker 1: they were. And the charges were basically manufactured by.
Speaker 2: By the left wing, if you will, by the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice, which of course is part of the deep state.
Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of congress people, there were senators there.
Speaker 2: That were threatened with their lives.
Speaker 1: And you're talking about police officers that were injured, some
Speaker 1: grievously injured.
Speaker 2: And Trump was asked.
Speaker 1: Are you going to pardon those people? And all he
Speaker 1: said was that one woman firefighter, what her name is, Abbott,
Speaker 1: who was killed. That was the only violence that really occurred.
Speaker 1: Was this protester that was that was killed I think
Speaker 1: by the Secret Service or the Capitol police.
Speaker 2: And we'll see.
Speaker 1: And the problem becomes, how many congress people and senators
Speaker 1: are going to be upset that a pardon is going
Speaker 1: to come down for someone who injured a police officer.
Speaker 1: And I don't think that Trump is going to pardon
Speaker 1: those people. I would be utterly shocked if he pardoned
Speaker 1: someone who beat up injured a police officer. We'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, they're going to be vast numbers
Speaker 1: of pardons, there's no question about it. But you know,
Speaker 1: does he pardon those very people who hurt police officers?
Speaker 2: He has not said he wouldn't. He has that. JD.
Speaker 2: Van said that those pop people shouldn't be pardoned. We'll
Speaker 2: see what happens when Trump.
Speaker 1: Day one is sworn in, which happens.
Speaker 3: A week from today.
Speaker 2: A week from today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a test. This is only a test
Speaker 4: of loyalty. Senate confirmation hearings begin this week.
Speaker 3: This time.
Speaker 4: People apparently viewing the nominees as an extension of Donald
Speaker 4: Trump and his agenda. According to Sean Spisch, who helped
Speaker 4: Trump's nominees get ready, so he says, they're not there
Speaker 4: to defend their own views, They're there to defend Trump's policies,
Speaker 4: and whether they get through and get approved by Congress
Speaker 4: is kind of setting the stage to see how loyal
Speaker 4: people are to Trump.
Speaker 3: As he's about to take office again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happens with these nominees.
Speaker 1: They go in front of the Senate and it's not
Speaker 1: just a hearing where a nominee is asked about his
Speaker 1: or her views.
Speaker 2: The they go through is mock sessions.
Speaker 1: They meet every senator they can with a dog and
Speaker 1: pony show, and I mean for days and days, weeks
Speaker 1: sometimes and it's almost and they rehearse, and you've got
Speaker 1: senators who are anybody who's pro Trump that wants these
Speaker 1: dominees to be confirmed, they actually experience in what will
Speaker 1: happen in front of the committee. And so we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens at this point. Anybody who shows just total
Speaker 1: loyalty to Trump, it's gonna lose every single Democratic vote.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that. And it may go down straight
Speaker 1: party lines.
Speaker 2: Fifty three to forty seven.
Speaker 1: But if two senators go the other way, and we'll
Speaker 1: see Pete Hedge, how's his last name, heg Seth.
Speaker 2: There's some problems with him.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he gets a nominator or he gets
Speaker 1: confirmed as a Defense secretary.
Speaker 2: And uh, what Laurie Gabbert is that her.
Speaker 1: Name telt names TULSI see I'm so good at names
Speaker 1: as head of intelligence. That may be a real problem
Speaker 1: because she met secretly with a SOD several times and
Speaker 1: backed him up. So we'll see what happens on that
Speaker 1: one too. The other ones are probably going to go through,
Speaker 1: no question about it.
Speaker 4: Dirty, dirty, dirty, That is what caused the lasteria outbreak.
Speaker 4: The USDA says Boarshead's lasteria outbreak was the result of
Speaker 4: sanitation failures. It says inadequate sanitation practices at the Deli
Speaker 4: Meat production facility in southern Virginuary notable contributing factor to
Speaker 4: the listeria outbreak last summer. That's in a report that
Speaker 4: was just released by the US Egg Department. Also acknowledged
Speaker 4: that it the agency needs to embrace its own approach
Speaker 4: to heading off future outbreaks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it turns out that the boarshead plant had some
Speaker 1: real problems. And I love bor's head. That's my favorite ham.
Speaker 1: And I was shocked first of all at the state
Speaker 1: of cleanliness at that boar's head plant in Virginia, and
Speaker 1: then when I found out that that ham is actually
Speaker 1: made with bors heads, I almost flipped out.
Speaker 2: Okay, is that a lawsuit?
Speaker 3: By the way, I hope not for you.
