Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, Happy Labor Day to you.
Speaker 3: Neil Savedra and Marla Teez from Fox eleven filling in
Speaker 3: for Gary and Shannon today.
Speaker 2: Happy to be with you on this Labor Day.
Speaker 3: The extended weekend dance version with a little tiny, hazy
Speaker 3: but beautiful day outside. No traffic were three, Yes, no jaffic.
Speaker 3: That is the celebration in Los Angeles for sure.
Speaker 2: Yes. Well.
Speaker 4: One of the stories that we're watching on this Labor
Speaker 4: Day is the situation in Rancho Palace Verdes where hundreds
Speaker 4: of homeowners are dealing with the landslide. One hundred and
Speaker 4: forty have one hundred and forty of these homes have
Speaker 4: their power that's been shut off as of yesterday at noon.
Speaker 5: More to come of that.
Speaker 4: Today we have the mayor of Rancho Palace Verdes, John Crookshank,
Speaker 4: on the line with us. Mayor, I know you're extremely busy.
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking the time out to join us. What
Speaker 4: is the latest? Because I know you know you've been
Speaker 4: on with me on Fox eleven. You actually have expressed
Speaker 4: your frustration with Governor Newsom for not being out there
Speaker 4: number one, and then so much so that you've taken
Speaker 4: it upon yourself to reach out to Tesla to try
Speaker 4: and find alternatives for power catch.
Speaker 2: Us up to speed.
Speaker 6: Well, thank you, Marla. So you're you're right. I mean,
Speaker 6: we've been very frustrated and with the governor. Back in
Speaker 6: the first part of August, our City Council we wrote
Speaker 6: a letter requesting that the governor declared a state of
Speaker 6: emergency due to the sudden loss of power. And that
Speaker 6: was because at the end of July, one hundred and
Speaker 6: thirty five homes lost their gas service, basically stranding them
Speaker 6: from using hot water cooking and all that. So we
Speaker 6: reached out to the governor for that state of emergency.
Speaker 6: He has not taken any action on that. He has
Speaker 6: not come down to be in the landslide. He takes
Speaker 6: many other trips to other locations. But he's our governor.
Speaker 6: He represents us, and he's kind of the lynch pen
Speaker 6: between us and the federal government. We can't even speak
Speaker 6: to federal agencies like the Corps of Engineers because the
Speaker 6: state is kind of a gatekeeper to all that type
Speaker 6: of help and services, and we also would like the
Speaker 6: governor to request moneys of the federal government so that
Speaker 6: these homeowners can get direct assistants to convert their gas
Speaker 6: and their overhead power service to more off grid systems
Speaker 6: with right now more generated type generators with diesel, and
Speaker 6: ultimately more of a sustainable type solution where batteries can
Speaker 6: run at an off grid solution. So we're very frustrated
Speaker 6: with the governor and we respectfully asked that he come
Speaker 6: down and tour the landsline.
Speaker 4: Have you received any sort of response from his office?
Speaker 6: So his office basically refers us back to the cal Bolis,
Speaker 6: which is the Office of Emergency Services, and so that's
Speaker 6: really done nothing for us.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: As we've talked about in the past, our city, which
Speaker 6: is forty two thousand residents, we have a budget annual
Speaker 6: budget of about thirty eight million dollars, which now much
Speaker 6: of that is heading toward just this landslide issue. We've
Speaker 6: gotten a lot of verbal commitments from county, state and federal,
Speaker 6: but as of today, we have zero dollars from anyone
Speaker 6: outside of our city.
Speaker 3: So Marla mentioned about elon Musk and Tesla and all
Speaker 3: of that, did you reach out and get a response from.
Speaker 6: Them all of that, that's actually the positive side of things.
Speaker 6: So roughly two or three days after sending that letter
Speaker 6: out to Elon Musk, and obviously I didn't personally think
Speaker 6: Eon Musk was going to get on the phone with me,
Speaker 6: but it did get to the Tesla Energy people, the
Speaker 6: exact people that we would want to talk to in
Speaker 6: this situation, because they do have a different at home
Speaker 6: and grid battery solutions, like the power wall system that
Speaker 6: they use and are in the megavault, which is the
Speaker 6: larger one that they have. And not only did Tesla
Speaker 6: reach out and we had a great meeting a week ago,
Speaker 6: they've already started to put together ideas and plans on
Speaker 6: how they could help our residents get off grid, but
Speaker 6: then several other battery and solar companies have reached out
Speaker 6: as well. I've compiled a really great list after meeting
Speaker 6: with many of them, and I provided that information to
Speaker 6: our city manager's office so that we can start working
Speaker 6: with them to help our residents stay in their homes
Speaker 6: with off grid solutions. So well, once again the private
Speaker 6: sector has starting to come to the rescue, and then
Speaker 6: of course our residents out there they're very resilient as well.
Speaker 6: So we're going to find solutions. But we do request
Speaker 6: the public agency we pay taxes to and expect when
Speaker 6: there is an emergency to be there for us. We
Speaker 6: do still expect them to help, even though the private
Speaker 6: sector is now stepping in down.
Speaker 3: Our guest right now is Mayor John Crookshank. He is
Speaker 3: the mayor of Rancho Palos Verdes. And you know, Mayor,
Speaker 3: what comes to mind when you say that is, we've
Speaker 3: seen with the space race of old has now been
Speaker 3: modified in the p private sector, and now you're seeing
Speaker 3: I can't help. And this maybe is my cynicism of
Speaker 3: being you know, in talk radio for thirty years or whatever,
Speaker 3: but I find that because Rancho Palas Verdes is an affluent,
Speaker 3: a lovely affluent area, that people may look at it differently.
Speaker 3: Maybe even politicians like Newsom don't want to jump on
Speaker 3: it because it doesn't have that benefit of him getting
Speaker 3: in genes and moving homeless people for a photo op.
Speaker 3: But it does kind of point to the fact that
Speaker 3: maybe private that that's going to go private again. You
Speaker 3: reaching out to private vendors and people like Elon Musk,
Speaker 3: We're going to say We're not looking at this politically.
Speaker 3: We're looking at this as a need and if you
Speaker 3: have a need, we're going to aim to fill it.
Speaker 3: That maybe that's kind of a good thing. Pushing back
Speaker 3: on some of the old school politics of how does
Speaker 3: this look rather than where is the need?
Speaker 2: Just a thought?
Speaker 6: Well, no, and I clearly thirty years of experience in
Speaker 6: radio for you, you hit the nail right on the
Speaker 6: head that the old ways of doing things and it
Speaker 6: just just look at just the off grid technologies that
Speaker 6: are there now, and the electric vehicles and all the
Speaker 6: other technologies that are just springing out left and right.
Speaker 6: We have an opportunity to leverage what's been done in
Speaker 6: the private sector. And like my city or Ranchropalace verd Is,
Speaker 6: it's considered a contract city. In other words, we only
Speaker 6: have one hundred people that work full time for our
Speaker 6: city at forty two thousand residents. If you look at
Speaker 6: some other government agencies, it's much more lopsided, where there's
Speaker 6: way more in house people. We rely on experts to
Speaker 6: come in and solve problems that we don't care about politics.
Speaker 6: That's why local politics work so great, is that you
Speaker 6: don't have RS and d's after our names, and you're
Speaker 6: able to just come together as communities and solve problems.
Speaker 6: And so you're exactly right that the old model of
Speaker 6: looking for government to solve all your problems is really
Speaker 6: it doesn't work. You need to have experts because our
Speaker 6: problems get more and more complex every day of our lives.
Speaker 6: And this is the complicated problem. And just going back
Speaker 6: to your comment about the affluent neighborhood and the city,
Speaker 6: no doubt our city is on the upper end of
Speaker 6: income scale. That these are people that have worked their
Speaker 6: entire lives as entrepreneurs to earn homes that now don't
Speaker 6: have landslide insurance. They're losing their lives vestments. Many of
Speaker 6: our residents, twenty five or percent or more are senior citizens,
Speaker 6: and so it's not like and it's not like all
Speaker 6: these people haven't paid taxes their entire lives. So that's
Speaker 6: their money that goes to the state and their money
Speaker 6: that goes into the federal government. So all we're asking is, hey,
Speaker 6: can we get some of their money that they've paid
Speaker 6: in back to help us in our time of need.
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter about affluencer or photo ops at this point,
Speaker 6: it's all about solving a problem of people that are
Speaker 6: under serious, serious dress, and we need to solve this problem.
Speaker 6: And it doesn't matter who does it, We just need
Speaker 6: to do it.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 4: Clearly you're doing your part, and we thank you again
Speaker 4: for taking the time out. This is Rancho Pellas Verdi's
Speaker 4: marriage John Crookshank, keep me posted, keep us posted here
Speaker 4: at KFI and let us know when you get those
Speaker 4: TESLA officials out there or other private groups out there
Speaker 4: to make some difference.
Speaker 5: We'll be following along. Mayor, good luck, thanks so much.
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: I can't help but think maybe he should post himself
Speaker 3: outside of the French laundry and just wait for news
Speaker 3: time to come.
Speaker 2: To here for lunch.
Speaker 5: It's almost lunchtime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just stand out there and flag him down, right,
Speaker 2: What do.
Speaker 5: You mean for a nice Kobe steak?
Speaker 3: Yeah, which actually sounds good.
Speaker 1: Right now, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
Speaker 1: from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Nil Savadrup Marlotez in for Gary and Shannon today. We
Speaker 3: just had a I thought a very lovely conversation with
Speaker 3: Mayor Krutshank from Rancho Pellas very days and we were
Speaker 3: talking off the air about how he so beautifully put
Speaker 3: about his residence. I think that their people can get
Speaker 3: really snotty when people have any wealth and go, well,
Speaker 3: I don't care if they're sliding off the side of
Speaker 3: a mountain or whatever, because they.
Speaker 5: Shouldn't have lived there in the first place, or they
Speaker 5: can afford it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like I could afford disasters for one thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, disasters are disasters no matter who.
Speaker 5: They hit, right, and you know, I mean, unless they're.
Speaker 3: Those rich bastards in Malibu.
Speaker 4: I've been, you know, having the mayor on the Fox
Speaker 4: Love News at six o'clock as this you know, story unfolds,
Speaker 4: and I post some of my work on my social
Speaker 4: media channels, and that has been a response from some
Speaker 4: people about I don't feel sorry for them.
Speaker 5: I'm because they're quote wealthy.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've heard the.
Speaker 4: Same thing, and it's that's just not the way to
Speaker 4: look at that. And he laid it out perfectly. I
Speaker 4: think these are people who have worked their entire lives.
Speaker 4: They shouldn't have their homes fall into the ocean.
Speaker 3: We are so big and this is a very bizarre,
Speaker 3: and I mean it's human, but it's very American to
Speaker 3: say the American dream is to, you know, have a
Speaker 3: business or have a home, build these.
Speaker 4: Things up, be a business owner, be a homeowner, and
Speaker 4: then once you become it, then.
Speaker 2: You're stay small.
Speaker 3: But if you know, Heaven forbid, you grow or you
Speaker 3: get bigger than all of a sudden, now you're on
Speaker 3: the jerk side of things. Whereas we're seeing with Elon Musk,
Speaker 3: love him or hate him, the fact that he is
Speaker 3: possibly coming to the aid with his tech and battery
Speaker 3: tech to help the folks there. In Rancho Palisfaridis, we
Speaker 3: are going to bypass politicians soon because as much as
Speaker 3: you may hate billionaires, they have the money and if
Speaker 3: they have the heart and the mind.
Speaker 2: To expand that. That's why we have a a.
Speaker 3: Rocket built by Elon Musk's company going to rescue It's
Speaker 3: this kind of bad if you're rich, good if you're poor.
Speaker 2: You know, I split down politicians this way.
Speaker 3: The right tends to focus on the richest one percent
Speaker 3: and the left tends to focus on the poorest one percent,
Speaker 3: and then they kind of, you know, focus on those things.
Speaker 3: We have to focus on everyone in the needs at hand.
Speaker 3: And if you've got Newsom wanting to ignore what's going
Speaker 3: on in Rancho Pales Verde's fine, go ahead.
Speaker 4: We don't know his reasoning because he hasn't even responded.
Speaker 4: We just has We just know that he hasn't and
Speaker 4: we know how government works. We know that it will
Speaker 4: take forever. There's so much red tape. Why in the
Speaker 4: world can't they get They have the local emergency that's
Speaker 4: been declared, so that's helped a little bit, a little
Speaker 4: bit financially, but they really need that state emergency to
Speaker 4: officially be declared.
Speaker 5: He needs the federal government to do that. That hasn't happened.
Speaker 2: It's been months.
Speaker 5: I mean, is there somebody in Washington? How frustrating that is.
Speaker 3: It's a phone call even if he said what you
Speaker 3: just said and say, hey, listen, there's red tape, but
Speaker 3: I hear you. I've received your message. You and I
Speaker 3: working together on Gary and Channon's show today. There's notes
Speaker 3: that go, emails that go back and forth, right for
Speaker 3: getting prep of the show last night over the weekend.
Speaker 3: What's the first thing you do is you let everybody
Speaker 3: know received and then you throw in your thoughts.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, so you respond, yes, that's what you did.
Speaker 3: You're not saying that he's gonna come and short up
Speaker 3: with himself, put on his you know, good jeans and
Speaker 3: roll up his sleeves, which is always my favorite with
Speaker 3: every hair in place.
Speaker 5: Aviators don't forget the aba.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know what, come in shorts and messy hair
Speaker 3: and just whatever.
Speaker 4: And he has the photographer on the payroll too, two
Speaker 4: hundred thousand a year if I'm not mistaken for those
Speaker 4: photo ops, and you'd have a beautiful coastline that's deteriorating.
Speaker 2: That could be part of the Uh just.
Speaker 3: Think that it's we're gonna start jumping over politicians and
Speaker 3: going to the private.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: You make a great point. You make a great point.
Speaker 2: All right, So this just in it's gonna be hot.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I was going to say because RPV the
Speaker 4: situation there with the landslide. When Chris Adler joined, she
Speaker 4: was talking about the heavy rains that we experienced last
Speaker 4: winter and that helped saturate the land and lead to
Speaker 4: what we're seeing there, the destruction on.
Speaker 5: The flip side.
Speaker 4: We are a state of extremes and we have been
Speaker 4: the headline here on Foxla dot com is California Weather
Speaker 4: forecast heat wave to bring sweltering temps for several days.
Speaker 2: It's been it's been constant.
Speaker 3: Do you know anybody that writes for Fox La? I do, Okay,
Speaker 3: can you ask them maybe the headline of September heat
Speaker 3: wave to bear down over so it just sounds like
Speaker 3: the heavens are gonna poop on us or something.
Speaker 5: It's shocking. Aw, it gets you, is that what it is?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 5: It got us to.
Speaker 2: Talk about it.
Speaker 4: It got producer Richie Cantaro too a print out.
Speaker 3: We're we're birthing a heat baby. There's gonna be a
Speaker 3: heat baby coming to southern California.
Speaker 2: It's like you said, it's been hot.
Speaker 4: But in all seriousness, heat is the number one killer hurricanes, earthquakes,
Speaker 4: all of that when it comes to Mother Nature.
Speaker 3: Did you just get really serious? You look me in
Speaker 3: the eye like I'm the one creating the heat? You
Speaker 3: knowing people? Let me be the serious one. It's true,
Speaker 3: all joking aside. People die when it's hot. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: that's hot, so the but now, yeah, heat is a
Speaker 3: very serious thing. But you know what I've noticed, we
Speaker 3: haven't had any rolling blackouts or brownouts or anything.
Speaker 2: Isn't that something? You know why?
Speaker 3: I know that they're doing things to fix that. But
Speaker 3: the reality is is Governor Handsome got ripped saying, hey,
Speaker 3: by you know, twenty thirty six or whatever, we want
Speaker 3: everybody driving electric cars and we're.
Speaker 2: Like, we can't use our dryers.
Speaker 3: During midday and you're telling us that we need to
Speaker 3: shift to electric.
Speaker 2: We can't power what we have and I love that.
Speaker 2: It's like we're gonna do.
Speaker 3: Nobody thinks we're so emotive, and it drives me nuts.
Speaker 5: Think, well, Governor Handsome, that's what you called them.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he is handsome. He is handsome. He is
Speaker 2: a handsome guy. I don't think he's that right though
Speaker 2: too because of Kamala. Yes, he got overlooked.
Speaker 4: Yes, like now he's officially the.
Speaker 3: Middle child now trying to get attention. Yes, Oh that
Speaker 3: it's going to be horrible from somebody who's had everything
Speaker 3: handed to him and now it's like I'm bypassed.
Speaker 4: His future right now is pretty you know. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's he's a governor for what another year? Year and
Speaker 4: a half?
Speaker 3: Mirror, mirror on the wall, and then what who's the
Speaker 3: most powerful what kama.
Speaker 4: Oh, the mirror always speaks the truth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately it does. Yeah, he's in a weird way.
Speaker 3: So the only hope is that maybe he starts doing
Speaker 3: some governing here in California. I would be great. So
Speaker 3: sounds stupid, but here's our tips. Stay cool, Uh, drink water,
Speaker 3: drink water.
Speaker 4: Check on your neighbors, Hydra, be serious and check on
Speaker 4: your neighbors and the elderly.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm going to say that.
Speaker 2: How many times have you checked on your neighbors?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: When it's hot? Yeah, you make a good point.
Speaker 2: You make a good call. My mom, Well.
Speaker 4: My mom, I can't control that woman. Yeah, hot or not,
Speaker 4: she's in the garden. She's gonna tend to what she
Speaker 4: needs to want to mow the lawn, whether or not.
Speaker 2: I tell her. It's a good idea.
Speaker 3: But yes, it is, in theory, a good idea for
Speaker 3: us to check on our elder neighbors. Yes, bring them
Speaker 3: some watermelon and some lemonade.
Speaker 2: Now I need to check on my neighbors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm to call you out. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying we're asking them to do it. Yes, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna check on you. Please do I'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Well maybe maybe maybe, Yeah, let's hope. It is the

Speaker 2: Thank you, Marla.
Speaker 5: Thank you for calling me out for every little thing.
Speaker 2: I appreciate. Did we just get married? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, no, every tiny little thing. Shall we move
Speaker 3: to herbs?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Internet loves this La Chinese herb shop and you know,
Speaker 3: I see these things pop up from time to time
Speaker 3: where people want to shift from I don't know, the
Speaker 3: mainstream whatever it is, western medicine and go to these
Speaker 3: ancient prescriptions because prescriptions, because it's going to improve your health.
Speaker 4: Do you do any of these elixirs or I don't.
Speaker 4: I'm so basic. I'm very routine.
Speaker 3: On breaking arm, you go to the doctor that type
Speaker 3: of thing. Yes, you don't put herbs on it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean everything I put on my body is
Speaker 4: pretty standard, meaning meaningloations. I no food wise, because a
Speaker 4: lot of this is whether it's for tease and all
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 5: I just I'm so basic and routine.
Speaker 2: But I mean I would.
Speaker 4: It's not that I wouldn't try it, right, I mean,
Speaker 4: she's a rising star on TikTok. She must have she
Speaker 4: must know what she's doing, so she documents alternative healthcare journeys.
Speaker 2: Doesn't that make you want to go?
Speaker 3: And the thing about this is some people, One particular
Speaker 3: TikTok user traveled two and a half hours by train
Speaker 3: to LA's Union station in May walk several block blocks
Speaker 3: to Chinatown to see the herbal doctor. Now, even if
Speaker 3: she had the cure for cancer, you are more likely
Speaker 3: to die on the way of using LA's metro than
Speaker 3: you are to save yourself by any of the concoctions
Speaker 3: she I think people like fuss there's not enough fun
Speaker 3: how so like, oh, they're gonna you have to go
Speaker 3: two hours and then she's gonna put this. She's gonna
Speaker 3: look you in the eye and she's gonna concoct something
Speaker 3: for you personal based on my whatever energy I give off.
Speaker 3: Now you know, these roots, herbs, spices have been utilized
Speaker 3: and some are legit. That's where some of the first
Speaker 3: medicines ever came from, the plants and things that have
Speaker 3: medicinal benefits to them.
Speaker 4: There are more than fifty Chinese herbal apothecaries.
Speaker 2: That's hard for me to say.
Speaker 3: Now that's awesome too, though, Like don't you want to
Speaker 3: Is it better than going I have to go to
Speaker 3: my optometrist? Don't you want to go to I'm going
Speaker 3: to the apothecary?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds nice, sounds fancy.
Speaker 4: So this really started though out of the out of
Speaker 4: the pandemic, and then it was amplified after because people
Speaker 4: want that alternative medicine, They want to the wellness trends,
Speaker 4: they love that and to your point once. Once it
Speaker 4: becomes something on TikTok on social media, and if people
Speaker 4: are within a train ride of two and a half
Speaker 4: hours or whatever it is, that makes it more.
Speaker 5: You want it that much more. People will wait mine.
Speaker 3: It sounds sexier than going I went to the pharmacy.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry, I'm now I'm thinking about the wait
Speaker 4: for the bibblehead of showy Otani last week. Oh and
Speaker 4: those things are selling for fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah online, right, the gold ones are going for twenty
Speaker 3: or at least being asked.
Speaker 2: There is one they're not sold and asked for different.
Speaker 4: Well, there's one listed at sixty nine thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but who's going to who was? There were two
Speaker 2: thousand of them maid apparently no of the gold of
Speaker 2: the golds, and then forty.
Speaker 3: Thousand were given out of the regular and all the
Speaker 3: Angels fans are laughing because they've got like six of
Speaker 3: them in their closet. Right, They're like going, well, I
Speaker 3: don't understand what's the big deal, but I think we Well,
Speaker 3: I'm a big believer that you know why we use
Speaker 3: wheels on cars because they work. You don't need to
Speaker 3: redesign the wheel so we use Western medicine because it works.
Speaker 3: And that that I think when you start looking for
Speaker 3: different things, that's either out of desperation because there's nothing
Speaker 3: that we have that fixes it currently, or.
Speaker 2: You want to feel special.
Speaker 4: But I also think that we are an alien society
Speaker 4: where there's so many ailments because of.
Speaker 5: Food manufacturers.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and the companies love it, right, so they want
Speaker 4: us to be sick.
Speaker 3: Well, the most what is not most popular? I want
Speaker 3: this disease, but the most common are itises swelling? Oh sure,
Speaker 3: right and everything that's that's most of our ailments.
