No traffic were three, Yes, no jaffic. 10 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.120 That is the celebration in Los Angeles for sure. 11 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:31.399 Yes. Well. 12 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.560 One of the stories that we're watching on this Labor 13 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.759 Day is the situation in Rancho Palace Verdes where hundreds 14 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.119 of homeowners are dealing with the landslide. One hundred and 15 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.320 forty have one hundred and forty of these homes have 16 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.840 their power that's been shut off as of yesterday at noon. 17 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.320 More to come of that. 18 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:53.039 Today we have the mayor of Rancho Palace Verdes, John Crookshank, 19 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.159 on the line with us. Mayor, I know you're extremely busy. 20 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.759 Thanks for taking the time out to join us. What 21 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.759 is the latest? Because I know you know you've been 22 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.640 on with me on Fox eleven. You actually have expressed 23 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.480 your frustration with Governor Newsom for not being out there 24 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.480 number one, and then so much so that you've taken 25 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.079 it upon yourself to reach out to Tesla to try 26 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.599 and find alternatives for power catch. 27 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:18.120 Us up to speed. 28 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.599 Well, thank you, Marla. So you're you're right. I mean, 29 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.079 we've been very frustrated and with the governor. Back in 30 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.959 the first part of August, our City Council we wrote 31 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.120 a letter requesting that the governor declared a state of 32 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.319 emergency due to the sudden loss of power. And that 33 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.400 was because at the end of July, one hundred and 34 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.359 thirty five homes lost their gas service, basically stranding them 35 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.000 from using hot water cooking and all that. So we 36 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.079 reached out to the governor for that state of emergency. 37 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.799 He has not taken any action on that. He has 38 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.719 not come down to be in the landslide. He takes 39 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.280 many other trips to other locations. But he's our governor. 40 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.959 He represents us, and he's kind of the lynch pen 41 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.280 between us and the federal government. We can't even speak 42 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.360 to federal agencies like the Corps of Engineers because the 43 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.520 state is kind of a gatekeeper to all that type 44 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.319 of help and services, and we also would like the 45 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.039 governor to request moneys of the federal government so that 46 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.039 these homeowners can get direct assistants to convert their gas 47 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.319 and their overhead power service to more off grid systems 48 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.719 with right now more generated type generators with diesel, and 49 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.000 ultimately more of a sustainable type solution where batteries can 50 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.159 run at an off grid solution. So we're very frustrated 51 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.879 with the governor and we respectfully asked that he come 52 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.199 down and tour the landsline. 53 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.439 Have you received any sort of response from his office? 54 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.400 So his office basically refers us back to the cal Bolis, 55 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:05.800 which is the Office of Emergency Services, and so that's 56 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.280 really done nothing for us. 57 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:08.159 Man. 58 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.960 As we've talked about in the past, our city, which 59 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.479 is forty two thousand residents, we have a budget annual 60 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.280 budget of about thirty eight million dollars, which now much 61 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.879 of that is heading toward just this landslide issue. We've 62 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:26.639 gotten a lot of verbal commitments from county, state and federal, 63 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.159 but as of today, we have zero dollars from anyone 64 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.599 outside of our city. 65 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.879 So Marla mentioned about elon Musk and Tesla and all 66 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.000 of that, did you reach out and get a response from. 67 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.800 Them all of that, that's actually the positive side of things. 68 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.240 So roughly two or three days after sending that letter 69 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.479 out to Elon Musk, and obviously I didn't personally think 70 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.400 Eon Musk was going to get on the phone with me, 71 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.479 but it did get to the Tesla Energy people, the 72 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.960 exact people that we would want to talk to in 73 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:08.039 this situation, because they do have a different at home 74 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.680 and grid battery solutions, like the power wall system that 75 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.080 they use and are in the megavault, which is the 76 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.000 larger one that they have. And not only did Tesla 77 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.639 reach out and we had a great meeting a week ago, 78 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.759 they've already started to put together ideas and plans on 79 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.240 how they could help our residents get off grid, but 80 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.360 then several other battery and solar companies have reached out 81 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.480 as well. I've compiled a really great list after meeting 82 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.560 with many of them, and I provided that information to 83 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.360 our city manager's office so that we can start working 84 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.399 with them to help our residents stay in their homes 85 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.399 with off grid solutions. So well, once again the private 86 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.199 sector has starting to come to the rescue, and then 87 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.720 of course our residents out there they're very resilient as well. 88 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.399 So we're going to find solutions. But we do request 89 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.160 the public agency we pay taxes to and expect when 90 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.360 there is an emergency to be there for us. We 91 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.920 do still expect them to help, even though the private 92 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:09.399 sector is now stepping in down. 93 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.720 Our guest right now is Mayor John Crookshank. He is 94 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.720 the mayor of Rancho Palos Verdes. And you know, Mayor, 95 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.160 what comes to mind when you say that is, we've 96 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.199 seen with the space race of old has now been 97 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.959 modified in the p private sector, and now you're seeing 98 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.639 I can't help. And this maybe is my cynicism of 99 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.600 being you know, in talk radio for thirty years or whatever, 100 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.600 but I find that because Rancho Palas Verdes is an affluent, 101 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.240 a lovely affluent area, that people may look at it differently. 102 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.600 Maybe even politicians like Newsom don't want to jump on 103 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.519 it because it doesn't have that benefit of him getting 104 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.920 in genes and moving homeless people for a photo op. 105 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.399 But it does kind of point to the fact that 106 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:07.920 maybe private that that's going to go private again. You 107 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.560 reaching out to private vendors and people like Elon Musk, 108 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.959 We're going to say We're not looking at this politically. 109 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.680 We're looking at this as a need and if you 110 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.920 have a need, we're going to aim to fill it. 111 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.160 That maybe that's kind of a good thing. Pushing back 112 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.240 on some of the old school politics of how does 113 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.519 this look rather than where is the need? 114 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.120 Just a thought? 115 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.079 Well, no, and I clearly thirty years of experience in 116 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.000 radio for you, you hit the nail right on the 117 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:41.120 head that the old ways of doing things and it 118 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.920 just just look at just the off grid technologies that 119 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.720 are there now, and the electric vehicles and all the 120 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.759 other technologies that are just springing out left and right. 121 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.360 We have an opportunity to leverage what's been done in 122 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.120 the private sector. And like my city or Ranchropalace verd Is, 123 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.399 it's considered a contract city. In other words, we only 124 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.480 have one hundred people that work full time for our 125 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.680 city at forty two thousand residents. If you look at 126 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.360 some other government agencies, it's much more lopsided, where there's 127 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.160 way more in house people. We rely on experts to 128 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.680 come in and solve problems that we don't care about politics. 129 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.199 That's why local politics work so great, is that you 130 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.279 don't have RS and d's after our names, and you're 131 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.360 able to just come together as communities and solve problems. 132 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.480 And so you're exactly right that the old model of 133 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.600 looking for government to solve all your problems is really 134 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.199 it doesn't work. You need to have experts because our 135 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.240 problems get more and more complex every day of our lives. 136 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.240 And this is the complicated problem. And just going back 137 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.439 to your comment about the affluent neighborhood and the city, 138 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.600 no doubt our city is on the upper end of 139 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.800 income scale. That these are people that have worked their 140 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.720 entire lives as entrepreneurs to earn homes that now don't 141 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.199 have landslide insurance. They're losing their lives vestments. Many of 142 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.680 our residents, twenty five or percent or more are senior citizens, 143 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.439 and so it's not like and it's not like all 144 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.920 these people haven't paid taxes their entire lives. So that's 145 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.639 their money that goes to the state and their money 146 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.519 that goes into the federal government. So all we're asking is, hey, 147 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.800 can we get some of their money that they've paid 148 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.079 in back to help us in our time of need. 149 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.079 It doesn't matter about affluencer or photo ops at this point, 150 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.680 it's all about solving a problem of people that are 151 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:34.919 under serious, serious dress, and we need to solve this problem. 152 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.080 And it doesn't matter who does it, We just need 153 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:37.519 to do it. 154 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:38.240 Well. 155 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.320 Clearly you're doing your part, and we thank you again 156 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.080 for taking the time out. This is Rancho Pellas Verdi's 157 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.120 marriage John Crookshank, keep me posted, keep us posted here 158 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.759 at KFI and let us know when you get those 159 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.360 TESLA officials out there or other private groups out there 160 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.799 to make some difference. 161 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.600 We'll be following along.

And he laid it out perfectly. I 198 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.240 think these are people who have worked their entire lives. 199 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.559 They shouldn't have their homes fall into the ocean. 200 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.000 We are so big and this is a very bizarre, 201 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.480 and I mean it's human, but it's very American to 202 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.399 say the American dream is to, you know, have a 203 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.679 business or have a home, build these. 204 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.600 Things up, be a business owner, be a homeowner, and 205 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.799 then once you become it, then. 206 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:05.639 You're stay small. 207 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.799 But if you know, Heaven forbid, you grow or you 208 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.600 get bigger than all of a sudden, now you're on 209 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.000 the jerk side of things. Whereas we're seeing with Elon Musk, 210 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.960 love him or hate him, the fact that he is 211 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.480 possibly coming to the aid with his tech and battery 212 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:28.639 tech to help the folks there. In Rancho Palisfaridis, we 213 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.159 are going to bypass politicians soon because as much as 214 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.600 you may hate billionaires, they have the money and if 215 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.559 they have the heart and the mind. 216 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.559 To expand that.

We know that it will 229 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.879 take forever. There's so much red tape. Why in the 230 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.600 world can't they get They have the local emergency that's 231 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.440 been declared, so that's helped a little bit, a little 232 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.759 bit financially, but they really need that state emergency to 233 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:49.799 officially be declared. 234 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.440 He needs the federal government to do that. That hasn't happened. 235 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.360 It's been months. 236 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.279 I mean, is there somebody in Washington?
