WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.080 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:06.000 six forty. 3 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.320 And this is KFI AM six forty. You'll handle here 4 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.240 in the morning crew on a Thursday. Unfortunately, very hot, 5 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.199 not only well hot in terms of the fires that 6 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:18.359 are going around. 7 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:20.800 It is September twelfth. 8 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.480 Later on Mo Kelly at eight fifty and then Joel 9 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.280 Larsgard eight o'clock with how to money. All right, we've 10 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.079 got to have well, we are having our reporters from 11 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:37.359 all over southern California, Blake Trolly, matter of fact, we'll 12 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.039 start with him and the Bridge fire because that. 13 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:41.679 Is the big one. 14 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:43.479 Then we'll go to Amy to report on the other 15 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:48.359 fires that are happening around the south land. Blake, what's 16 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.159 going on with the Bridge fire because that's the big 17 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.200 one that we're dealing with. 18 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:51.719 Yeah. 19 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.560 So in the latest update that we got Bill, we 20 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.359 got this a few hours ago. We actually got some 21 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.960 positive news on this Bridge fire. Keep in mind, this 22 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.600 is a fire that exploded massively, started on this side 23 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.120 of the hill here in La County, spread into Rightwood 24 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.280 over into sam Bernardino County. We are told that the 25 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.159 fire's behavior has moderated, and this is because humidity has 26 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.439 raised and temperatures have fallen. They say that firefighters yesterday 27 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.359 and I was in there with them, Bill, they were 28 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.239 making really good progress on the ground, not only establishing 29 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.200 containment lines, but also providing structural defense for some homes 30 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.400 that flames were still burning right up on. Well, we're 31 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.000 told they made good progress. They also were able to 32 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.560 get air resources, including four helicopters into the area, continuing 33 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.799 water drops. And so today the real focus is continue 34 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.480 trying to get those containment lines down, put retardant in 35 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.840 those containment lines, and continue structure defense. I mean, there 36 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.560 are still structures that are being threatened. We don't have 37 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.159 an exact number. We're waiting to get our morning update. 38 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.959 But that said, they say fire crews are still actively 39 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.680 engaged in structural defense. And Bill, I saw this take 40 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.319 place on one particular home yesterday. The La Times has 41 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.439 a photo of this same exact home. It's right off 42 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.920 Highway too, kind of in between right Wood and Big Pine. 43 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.159 And what we saw yesterday was just big. 44 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.280 Orange flames, black smoke coming off this fire, a lot 45 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.039 of vegetation right behind this home burning up, and firefighters 46 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.360 just continued to hammer it with water. Also carve out lines, 47 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.199 and I believe they were able to save that home. 48 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.319 We're gonna have to get an update on that later 49 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.520 this morning, but I went back through about two hours 50 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.680 later and the home was still there from when I 51 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:33.879 saw them originally fighting. 52 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.800 That's great, that actually is good news. And we talked 53 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.039 to a firefighter yesterday, Blake, Thank you, because I'm going 54 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:40.759 to go on we're going to report on the other fire. 55 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.520 So we'll probably talk to you more this morning and 56 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.719 should certainly be you'll be reporting on the bridge fire. 57 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.800 Thanks much, Amy. Before we get to the airport fire 58 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.759 and the line fire is just a quick word. Yesterday 59 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.360 we had my friend Chuck Lover, who was with County 60 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.680 of LA for thirty years firefighting, and he had mentioned, 61 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.159 when you see that water and the fire retardant, they're 62 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.560 not putting out the fire. What they're doing is they're 63 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.800 going in front or to the side of the fire, 64 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.919 cooling down that area so the crews can establish those 65 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:16.639 fire lines. 66 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.240 That's what that's about. And I had known that until he. 67 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.199 Had said that, because I asked, I mean, how do 68 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.000 you put out fires like that? He goes, we don't 69 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.800 even try. What we want to do is contain the fires. So, Amy, 70 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.319 what's happening the latest of the airport and the line fire. 71 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.560 Okay, So the airport fire is the one that started 72 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:38.680 in Tribuco Canyon on Monday, and it started in Orange County. 73 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.479 It has since spread over into Riverside County and it 74 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.759 has burned some homes in Lake Elsin Or. It's about 75 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.800 twenty three thousand acres now a little bit over that 76 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.680 and is five percent surrounded, so they're starting to build 77 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:50.439 some lines around it. 78 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:50.879 That's good. 79 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.560 And then the line fire is the one in the 80 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:59.879 San Bernardino County Mountains. It's thirty six thousand plus acres 81 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.520 and is eighteen percent which is up for me yesterday, 82 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.479 so they are again eighteen percent surrounded. 83 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.000 It is the part that is really rough. 84 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.599 I mean, they're going to be able to take these 85 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.919 out obviously as the weather. 86 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.120 Cools down and we're done. 87 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.199 Amy, you had reported that the heat wave is basically over, 88 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.959 and we could feel that it's cooler, it's. 89 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.040 A little bit more humidity. 90 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.399 I mean, when it's one hundred and fifteen degrees out 91 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.680 there like it was with the virtually no humidity, that's 92 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.879 not good news for firefighters or the rest of us. 93 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.519 But what the climatologist the weather people are telling us 94 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.920 is this is just the tip that we are looking 95 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.480 at the beginning. This is the beginning of fire season, 96 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.040 and it is going to be very, very rough this year. 97 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.839 And even though the acreage, well, I think the biggest 98 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.920 fire we've ever had in California was north of a 99 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.360 million acres that burned up in northern California where two 100 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.680 massive fires joined up and just destroyed a huge amount. 101 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.920 So we're looking at the acreage here, fifty thousand for 102 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.160 the Bridge fire. Do we know the acreage of the 103 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.360 airport and the Line fire. I'm just throwing that at you, Amy, Yeah. 104 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.959 Yeah, twenty three thousand for the airport fire and thirty 105 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.279 six thousand for the line fire. So it's right about 106 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.560 just over one hundred thousand airs total. 107 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.519 And that's if you put those two together, those three together, 108 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.879 that is a massive, massive fire. The other thing that 109 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:34.519 is the fairly good news in terms of the firefighting capabilities, 110 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.759 when it was nighttime. As soon as it got dark, 111 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.199 all air resources had to cease. They could not fly 112 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.439 at night. Now with the technology, helicopters can fly at night. 113 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.959 You still have aircraft that can't and don't, but the 114 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.920 helicopters can. And again keep in mind when you say 115 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.959 they don't have that much water, it's not about put 116 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.360 out the fire as it's moving. It's about the containment area, 117 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.920 letting the firefighters dig around. And that's what as yesterday 118 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.879 Chuck Lover said, containment is about setting up these fire 119 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.439 breaks where the fire is going to only burn within 120 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.079 those fire lines that are established. So we'll be reporting 121 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.639 all through the day. We've got Blake and who else 122 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.199 is out there, and we've. 123 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.720 Got Porman out yesterday. 124 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.720 Yeah, so if yeah, we had virtually everybody out there. 125 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.879 So at this point the fire that's the most out 126 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.360 of control is still the Bridge fire, I'm assuming, but 127 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:40.120 it's getting better. 128 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.040 It's getting better all the way around. All right. 129 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.120 Now, this has to do with a report that just 130 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.959 came out commissioned by Congress, released this week that NASA 131 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.279 is in a lot of trouble. 132 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.800 Aging infrastructure. 133 00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.199 Short term thinking ambitions far outstrip the money that's being spent. 134 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.920 Why, First of all. 135 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.920 It's not being funded because it wasn't so exciting. It's 136 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:12.000 getting more exciting now now that we're talking about missions 137 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.560 to Mars. The problem is Everything that NASA is involved 138 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.360 with is falling apart. The only thing that's really working 139 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.639 a SpaceX and it's going to be Elon Musk that's 140 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.360 going to make it, if anybody's going to make it 141 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.199 to Mars. In the meantime, what the federal government is spending, 142 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.959 the money that they do spend is on the web, 143 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:38.759 the Hubble satellites. They're going with space missions for scientific endeavors, 144 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.160 and there's just not enough money that's being spent, and 145 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.560 a lot of it is just maintenance. And that's the 146 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:53.680 point of nobody cares. Maintenance is not exciting. So let's 147 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.560 go back to when the space program was as exciting 148 00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.759 as it ever got and ever will get. 149 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.120 And that was the Apollo mission that went to the Moon. 150 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.199 And how did we get to the point where four 151 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:14.720 hundred thousand people were working on the Apollo missions that 152 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:20.439 in July July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine, you had Americans 153 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:21.920 walking on the Moon. 154 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.879 I mean, that excitement level was just insane. 155 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:29.399 Two reasons why we hit the high point for the 156 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:35.639 Apollo the Apollo program. Number one, that statement that JFK 157 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.679 made in nineteen sixty one, we're going to put on 158 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.639 a man on the moon and bring him back safely 159 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.840 to Earth. Not because it's easy, but because it's hard. 160 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.879 That took everybody for a loop. No one knew he 161 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.879 was saying that. No one knew he was going to 162 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:58.440 say that, so NASA had no idea that they were 163 00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.240 going to do that. 164 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.279 He was going to call for that, no idea how 165 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:02.159 they were going to do it. 166 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:08.919 When he said that the US experience in spacecraft and 167 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:14.480 space and in the space program and putting man into space, 168 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.879 we had exactly fifteen minutes of an American in space, 169 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.600 one spaceflight, Alan Shepard. 170 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:28.559 That was it, and JFK called for putting a man 171 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.600 on the moon. Actually there are three reasons. 172 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.480 Reason number two was we're just at the beginning of 173 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.759 the space race. In the Cold War, Russia and the 174 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.320 United States were going. 175 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.039 Balls to the wall. 176 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.200 Here's a little fact that very few people know about 177 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.840 is that Kennedy, as money was being spent, said, you know, 178 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.279 we're spending way too much money on this. 179 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.440 This is costing us a fortune. No one reports that. 180 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.799 There's actually audio that was recorded in which he says 181 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.200 that that way, maybe we ought to slow this down 182 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.639 because the efforts and the money that's being spent is astronomical. 183 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.960 So now what's solidified the race to the moon. What 184 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.120 put it in ink? That could not be a race 185 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.639 that was even beyond that, that was etched in stone, 186 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.799 and that's JFK being assassinated. And what ended up happening 187 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:34.120 was once that happened, this became and we were going 188 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.679 to put someone on the moon in honor of our 189 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.320 dead president. This is what he called for and this 190 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.200 is a memory of JFK. And it went full blast 191 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.879 after that. You could not get out of that. We 192 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.559 could not get out of that. He called for it, 193 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.320 he died, and we are going to honor We were 194 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.919 going to honor our assassinated president. At that point, there 195 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.600 was no going back, and there was no budget limitation. 196 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.759 The amount of money that was spent on the Apollo 197 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.759 program was just astronomical. 198 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.080 And by the way, what did we. 199 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:14.360 Get by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking along the Moon? 200 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.720 What did we get? We brought back some moon rocks? 201 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:24.320 Was there any more understanding of the universe? Probably not now. 202 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:30.360 Spacecraft that goes to other planets, that's scientific achievement. Spacecraft 203 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.879 that go and circle the Sun, or go beyond the 204 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.759 Solar system. We actually get information for understanding our universe. 205 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.200 Did we get a lot of understanding from the space 206 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.120 program where man walked on the moon? 207 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:45.519 Now, I mean we. 208 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:49.080 Got a lot of political help on that. I mean 209 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.080 the whole world was watching the figure. A third of 210 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.039 the world was watching the moon landing. And at that 211 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.679 moment there was probably more good good will to the 212 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.960 United States, and humanity felt more together and in tune 213 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.320 with each other than ever in the history of the world. 214 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.600 And it'll never happen again, maybe when the first sky 215 00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.919 walks on Mars and Arnold Schwarzenegger is too old for that, 216 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.919 and so I don't know that's going to happen. That's 217 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.080 a reference to that movie, by the way, Yeah, I 218 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.679 forgot the name of the movie. But other than what's 219 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.960 going on now, we don't have a dead president that 220 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:30.840 we are honoring. 221 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.759 We don't have a space. 222 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.360 Program, a cold war that we are fighting the Russians 223 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.600 to see who's going to be first. 224 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:40.559 On the moon. Oh. 225 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.120 The other thing that very few people know about the Russians, 226 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.759 It was a matter of weeks before the Russians were 227 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.759 going to land someone on the Moon. They were working 228 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.919 so hard and as a matter of fact, as the 229 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.320 astronauts were on the way to the Moon, the Russians 230 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.879 launched a vehicle that was going to go to the Moon, 231 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.639 pick up moon rocks and pick up moon soil and 232 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.360 return it to Earth. They were going to make a 233 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:13.159 political move to undermine our walk on the Moon, and 234 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.679 that mission failed. So we're in a very different place. 235 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:21.159 Just not I give you a little history of what's 236 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:21.559 going on. 237 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.759 All right. I just love this stuff, you know. 238 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.799 I don't know how many documentaries I've been watching because 239 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.480 I got so excited about this moon race. I talked 240 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.679 to Rod anyway, because he knows his stuff better than anybody. 241 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.639 All right, So much for that. Okay, while we. 242 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.279 Were just going to break, an earthquake hit a few 243 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.679 minutes ago, and Amy and Neil and I think, and 244 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.840 they were experiencing the shaking. Amy said, oh, we're shaking 245 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:53.279 right now. 246 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.919 What it's pretty good here on the eastern side of 247 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.600 Los Angeles. And I'm still getting texts and monitor X 248 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.159 a bunch of people saying that they felt it at Northridge. 249 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.879 So far, felt it pretty big. It says it was 250 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.679 out of Malibu. 251 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:11.519 Is that right, Amy? 252 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:12.480 That is correct? 253 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.039 Five point one downgraded to a four point six. 254 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.759 I think no, it's been upgraded then back to four 255 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.159 point seven. And then it was followed a couple of 256 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.120 minutes later by a two point eight, which we probably 257 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:24.679 didn't feel. 258 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:32.679 Sounds like our ratings, doesn't it. Oh boy? Focus? Oh yeah, 259 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.480 all right. I did not feel it. 260 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.639 And I'm in Orange County, as Amy pointed out, and 261 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.320 I didn't even get a shake alert. 262 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.759 Well I think that might be you, though, because Chris 263 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.720 Adler just texted me and she's in Orange County and 264 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:44.799 she said she felt it. 265 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:49.080 Now, I just got a pop up ad that Dominoes 266 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.840 has thirty percent off their pan pizza that I got, 267 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.480 but I did not get the shake alert, which and 268 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.440 I'm on shake Alert and I'm on the other one. 269 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.440 I'm on both program ms that we have that go. 270 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.840 Ba, it wasn't a Shaky's pizza. Oh yeah, that was that? 271 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.440 Would you know what? That's even better? You know what, 272 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.480 that's even a better line. You know. I hate when 273 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.960 you do that. I hate it when you do that. 274 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.679 It's it's not me, it's you. 275 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.440 Okay, So now, but if we heard of any damage 276 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.639 or anything like that, because I it started setting off 277 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.440 car alarms here, which is pretty rare. 278 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:31.720 It's no, that's people stealing our cars. Yeah yeah, but 279 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.440 you I noticed that probably for around ten seconds. You 280 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.919 kept on saying, we're still feeling it, We're still feeling it. 281 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:40.840 It rolled on for a bit, and I know that 282 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.240 in the studio there as well. The building is on wheels. 283 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:51.039 And if you've never experienced an earthquake at there at Burbank, 284 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.000 it's at the studio. 285 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:56.600 It's very weird. And it continued. It's just it's bizarre. 286 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.320 Just the building is on the way. Our building is 287 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.720 on wheels. Yeah, oh yeah, I did not know that. Yeah. 288 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:05.080 Where now it's studio city. 289 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.080 Yeah that's why. Yeah, there's another one. Guys, stop it. 290 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.159 Stop being clever. I hate it when you're more clever 291 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.639 than I am. I cannot stand it. 292 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.519 It's not that we're more clever than you, it's that 293 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:21.759 you're less clever than everyone else. 294 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.639 Okay, take a page onto the handle you know the handlebook, 295 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.480 all right, So the bottom line is what is the 296 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.759 final as of right now? 297 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.440 And it changed literally within ten minutes. 298 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.279 It was a five point one, it dropped to what 299 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.240 a four point one, and then now it's up to 300 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:38.840 a four point eight or nine. 301 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.480 It's a four point seven officially from the US Geological 302 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.000 Survey right now, and then a two point eight. 303 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:47.000 They've changed that one. 304 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.120 It hit at seven thirty and then a two point 305 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.080 four after shock at seven thirty one, all about three 306 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.879 and a half miles northwest of Malibu and just under 307 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.039 five miles southwest of Agora Hills. 308 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.559 Okay, did any of you feel the after shock? 309 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.960 No, you probably don't feel something under three. 310 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.000 Yeah, you don't. 311 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:08.960 And when we're looking at a four point seven, and 312 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.160 Neil had asked, is that enough for any damage whatsoever? 313 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.440 And I don't know. You see cracks in the walls. 314 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.920 Well, it depends way where you're you know where it hits. 315 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:19.799 I'm seeing things. 316 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.920 Rich Yourmuro originally said that it might have been out 317 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:25.920 near one thousand Oaks. I know a lot of people 318 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.359 in the Egura thousand Oaks, Westlake Newbury Park area said 319 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.200 they felt it. 320 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.240 Pretty significantly. Yeah, if you're on top of it, you're 321 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:36.240 gonna feel four point seven. 322 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.839 Sobardino felt it, so says Kno. 323 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:45.759 So yeah, I'm wondering why in Orange County? And were 324 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.880 you getting any text from Orange County at all? Because 325 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.119 I did not feel it, and I did not get 326 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.279 an alert on my phone. 327 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.640 Chris Adler is in Orange County. She said that she 328 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.759 felt it, and you know that we got the shake 329 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.000 alert here. I got it on my phone, but I 330 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.160 didn't get it until after the shaking started, Like. 331 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.440 Oh, that's not good. 332 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.279 No, come up like thirty seconds before. 333 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.039 Yeah, it's supposed to be like a heads up type thing, right, Yeah, 334 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:10.279 it didn't work this time for me. 335 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.079 I got my pop up ad on time. 336 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:16.839 All right, I'm on a raised foundation, and it almost 337 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.359 like it almost started at the other end of the house, 338 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.559 and like somebody was walking towards my studio and then 339 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.240 and then it started happening. So it was kind of 340 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.880 an odd sensation, this one. 341 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.480 All right, here's what's going on. 342 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.319 And I always bring up by LA Unified because I 343 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.480 grew up in the l LA Unified school district. I 344 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.440 started in kindergarten and I finished at high school. So 345 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.839 there's the K through twelve. I am one of the 346 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:49.160 poster children of LA Unified, and LA Unified is one 347 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:54.039 of the poster children of let's just say a public 348 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.640 school system that has dropped dramatically in its ability to 349 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:03.079 graduate students. I mean with a huge number of Latino students, 350 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:04.440 and the dropout rate. 351 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.160 Is unfortunately astronomical. 352 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:10.240 And is it because LA Unified in and of itself 353 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.039 is so poorly run? Well, I am convinced that it 354 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.759 is ungovernable simply because of its size. New York is 355 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.720 the only school system that is bigger than ours. 356 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.480 And you know, I don't know. 357 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.400 What reputation it has because I concentrate on LA Unified. Well, 358 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.960 here is the latest, okay, because there's never enough money, 359 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.680 and that is air conditioning. Now, when I went to school, 360 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.200 air conditioning wasn't an issue. We never thought of air 361 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.519 conditioning in schools. It was hot, but you knew it 362 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.920 was going to cool down. And of course climate change 363 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:46.200 has changed everything. 364 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.720 And now you have students that. 365 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.039 Are really in a lot of trouble. Schools are in 366 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.599 a lot of trouble. How many stories has Amy done 367 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.160 in the last during the hot spell where schools were 368 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:02.400 just shut down, didn't let students into schools, they couldn't 369 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.559 let students outside. 370 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.200 Football practice had. 371 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.359 To be eliminated or suspended because the heat was so great. 372 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.079 And so we have an aging infrastructure here in an 373 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:19.799 LA Unified and it's the only place private schools have 374 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:23.599 a ton of air conditioning. But private schools, well, if 375 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.839 you look at the tuition these days in private schools, 376 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:31.720 so aging facilities, not enough money to buy air conditioning, 377 00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:35.759 not enough money to maintain air conditioning that in and 378 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.839 of itself may be decades old. 379 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.480 When there is a new school being. 380 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.279 Built, granted, air conditioning is put in and has for 381 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.160 a number of years, but how many new schools are 382 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.799 being built? They're not Why because the number of kids 383 00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:56.519 going to school is actually dropping and the schools are scrambling, 384 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.319 and charter schools have increased, and the politics of it. 385 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.920 Teachers and administrators particularly fight like crazy to make sure 386 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:13.759 that vouchers. Private schools simply either a don't exist or 387 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.000 have a hard time even being created. And at the 388 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.000 same time there isn't money, and the kids suffer. The 389 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:20.720 kids suffer. 390 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.480 Do you know when I went to school, you ready 391 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:23.799 for this? 392 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:29.680 They used to hand out crayons, they would give pencils, 393 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:37.599 they would give book covers, they would give those rulers, 394 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:40.640 you know, those twelve inch rulers. I don't even think 395 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:43.279 they have them anymore, but they were perfect for the 396 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:47.400 teachers to smack you in the head with them and 397 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:56.039 they had corporal punishment. That's a different issue. But imagine 398 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.880 that we've gone from the schools having enough money so 399 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:05.640 the kids have equipment and they have enough tools. It's 400 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.039 a very different animal today, unfortunately. And you're going to 401 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.039
