WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray WBZ Constance Radio.

2
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's the end of the week and the story

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of the week we haven't yet talked about. Therefore, let's

4
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about Los Angeles at this point. I remember when

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 2>this story broke on Tuesday and someone from San Diego

6
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>sent me a text, a friend of mine in San

7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Diego that Los Angeles was on fire and prayed for

8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>people in Los Angeles. And I didn't know what she

9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>had meant. And beginning on Tuesday, you realized there's a

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 2>big fire. Well it was big fires. The devastation in

11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles justice unimaginable, unimaginable. You look at some of

12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>those communities where people had multi million dollar homes, they

13
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>were close to or in sight of the Pacific Ocean,

14
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>and the fires that swept through were just devastating. Now,

15
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>there's a whole lot of reasons here. First and foremost,

16
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess is that there's been very little rain in

17
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles. I think I read somewhere that since last

18
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>May an inch or so of rain. If that that's

19
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>problem number one. Problem Number two is they do not

20
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>tend to clear a lot of brush in parts of

21
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles. I don't think they've had the money to

22
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 2>do it, as a matter of fact, But that gives

23
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 2>you a real bed of dry fire, leaves, foliage, et cetera,

24
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>scrub needles, all of that, and then you have these

25
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Santa Anna winds that are unimaginable. We have a hurricane

26
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>here and the winds are eighty miles an hour, and

27
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>they peak at eighty miles an hour, and then that

28
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>four or five hours later, the meteorologist will tell us

29
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>what the winds are dying down. They're only down to fifty,

30
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and then they're down to thirty and the hurricane has passed.

31
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>But with a hurricane comes by definition of sheets of rain.

32
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know that we've ever had a

33
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>dry hurricane here in the Northeast, but in effact, they

34
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 2>had a dry hurricane in California. Now there have been addition,

35
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 2>there have been several arson arrests. This has not gotten

36
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>much play on the Network news, but but if you

37
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 2>go to google any of this man detained near the

38
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Kenneth fire not accused of arson. He apparently had been stopped.

39
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>But there is there have been other arrests. California State

40
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Park peace officers arrest arsen suspect near Leo Carrillo State Park.

41
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>That was nine hours ago. Well, a woman arrested. Arson

42
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 2>arrest surge in California over the last decade, California California

43
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Fire reports. That's a TV report from twenty two hours ago.

44
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Last night, creedmore Man arrested for arson in Atlantic Beach

45
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>bar charged with multiples. That's that's not a Pacific Coast story.

46
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 2>I apologize that this story yesterday neighbors make dramatic arrest.

47
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So there's another one. Alleged arsonists arrested in Los Angeles

48
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>and Medadly amid deadly fires. So there have been some

49
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>arrest I don't know where that's going to go, but

50
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>let's see what happens. If God forbid there were people

51
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>who started a fire out there and ended up with

52
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>the devastation that we have. I don't know how long

53
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>a criminal sentence we could give them. Now, before we

54
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 2>get to to our conversation and call as you're welcome

55
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>to join the conversation. We have a couple of sound

56
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>bites I'd like to play. I think they're important. Okay, well,

57
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 2>actually I got three or four sound bites. One is

58
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>a mom in Los Angeles confronting the Governor Gavin Newsom

59
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 2>as he is out surveying fire damage.

60
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

61
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>And this is an interesting confrontation. I've watched it. This

62
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 2>woman is pleading with Newsom to do something, and Newsom

63
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 2>just wants to get away from her. Cut number seven, ORB.

64
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I have to get self service. Let's get it.

65
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I want to be here when you call the president.

66
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. I'm doing that right now. And it's

67
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to immediately get rembursement as individual assistance and to help

68
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>John brown devastating program. I'm so sorry, especially for your daughter.

69
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I have four kids, one.

70
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 4>Who went to school there.

71
00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>They lost their homes.

72
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 5>They lost homes because they were living in one and

73
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 5>building another.

74
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 6>People, Kevin, please tell me, tell me what are you

75
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 6>going to do with the president.

76
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 7>Right now we're getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild.

77
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 8>Is there no water in the hydrants?

78
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 9>Governor?

79
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>It's all literally?

80
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 6>Is it going to be different next time?

81
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It has to be what are you going to do

82
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to fill the hydrants?

83
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 8>I would fill him up personally.

84
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>You know that I.

85
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 9>Would fill up the hydrants myself.

86
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 5>But would you do that?

87
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't do whatever I can not. I see the

88
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Do you.

89
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Know there's water dripping over there, Governor there's water coming

90
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 4>out there?

91
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>You can use it. Yeah, woman, Obviously it was just

92
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:48.959
<v Speaker 2>beyond frustrated. Uh, in these communities, there's some celebrities who

93
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>have lost everything. Actor Mel Gibson was on Joe Rogan.

94
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>This is what he had to say, cut number eight. Rob.

95
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I gotta ask you how you're doing.

96
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing good.

97
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 10>You know, it's just a thing, but you know it is.

98
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 7>Obviously it's kind of devastating.

99
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>It's emotional.

100
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 7>You know, you live there for a long time and

101
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 7>you had.

102
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 10>All your stuff.

103
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember George Carlin talking.

104
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 2>About your stuff.

105
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 6>I had my stuff.

106
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 7>There, and it's all like I've been relieved from the

107
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 7>burden of my stuff because it's all in cinders.

108
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

109
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Where were you, Mel when the fire broke out?

110
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 6>Gosh, I was in Austin.

111
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 7>I was doing the Rogan podcast, you know, and I wasn't.

112
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 7>I was kind of ill at ease while we were

113
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 7>talking because I knew my neighborhood was on fire, so

114
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 7>I thought, I wonder if my place is still there.

115
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 7>But when I got home, sure enough, it wasn't there.

116
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 7>I went home and I said to myself. Well, at

117
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 7>least I haven't got any of those pesky plumbing problems anymore.

118
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 2>The Los Angeles Fire Chief talked about some knucklehead flying

119
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>a drone that was hit by a Super Scooper which

120
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>was trying to fight the wildfires. Flying a drone in

121
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 2>the fire traffic is illegal. This is the LA Fire

122
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Chief cut thirty six.

123
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Rob yesterday at the Palisades Fire. Unknown exactly what time

124
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 4>this small drone hit the wing of our COL four

125
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 4>fifteen Super Scooper aircraft that we currently have on contract

126
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 4>from the Province of Quebec. The pilots were unaware that

127
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 4>they hit the drone. It wasn't until they landed at

128
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 4>Vanney's Airport that the maintenance staff noticed that there was

129
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.560
<v Speaker 4>a fist sized hole in the leading edge of the

130
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 4>wing onboard of the landing light. That Super Scooper will

131
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 4>be prioritized for repair twenty four to seven. It should

132
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:52.839
<v Speaker 4>be flying Monday. We only have two of them. Everyone

133
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 4>should know, all of your viewers, flying a drone in

134
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 4>the fire traffic area is not only dangerous, but it's illegal.

135
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I hope they prosecute the guy and it turns out,

136
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 2>and it turns out that Los Angeles voters had just

137
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 2>elected a new prosecutor. This is the last sound bite

138
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to play. Then I'm going to go to

139
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 2>phone calls after the quick break. But if you might remember,

140
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 2>there used to be a prosecutor in Los Angeles name

141
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 2>was George. I called them George Gasbag gascon. He was

142
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.439
<v Speaker 2>turned out of office because he was a prosecutor didn't

143
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>want to prosecute. Well, the new prosecutor is a guy

144
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>named Nathan Haukman. I guess his sister's house was destroyed

145
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and he has a warning to the looters and scammers.

146
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 2>And this guy sounds like my sort of prosecutor. Cut

147
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven or up.

148
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 5>So I'm here in Pacific Palisades at the site of

149
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 5>what used to be my sister's home. She's lived here

150
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 5>for a while, a long time with her family, and

151
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 5>now this, this home, along with the homes in the

152
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 5>street in this neighborhood, are just gone. I've been here

153
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 5>for over sixty years. I've not seen devastation like this

154
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 5>in my lifetime. I mean, you have to harken back

155
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 5>to the nineteen nineties when we're hit with the floods

156
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 5>and the fires, and the earthquakes and the riots do

157
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 5>even get.

158
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 8>Close to this.

159
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Now, I'm absolutely convinced that LA is incredibly resilient and

160
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 5>like it's done many many times before, Angelino's will come

161
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 5>back and build this back better than ever. But for

162
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.399
<v Speaker 5>the people who are thinking, the criminals who are out

163
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 5>there thinking about taking advantage of this situation through looting,

164
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 5>or through scams or over the internet and praying on

165
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 5>vulnerable victims, let me make it quite clear what's going

166
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 5>to happen. The DA's office, working with law enforcement, is

167
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 5>going to arrest you. They're going to prosecute you, and

168
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 5>you will be punished to the full extent of the law.

169
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.519
<v Speaker 2>That's a promise. That's a new sheriff in town, and

170
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>it's very helpful. I'm very hopeful I should say that

171
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that looters and scammers will be discouraged. My question, we're

172
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 2>going to go to break real quickly and come right

173
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>back with phone calls six one, seven, five, four ten

174
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. What

175
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 2>should be done with looters and scammers? I say, well,

176
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>absolutely thrill the book at it, and I think a

177
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 2>minimum a minimum of twenty five years, a minimum of

178
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>twenty five years for looters and scammers. I have no

179
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>idea what the statutes are in California, but I hope

180
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 2>they go after them in every way possible. And if

181
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>they ever find anybody actually started these fires, a human

182
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.399
<v Speaker 2>being started this fire, that person should spend the rest

183
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>of his life in prison. That's my thoughts. I want

184
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>to hear from you, if you know anyone who's been

185
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 2>out there, if you have relatives or friends out there,

186
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.039
<v Speaker 2>we'd love to hear what you've If you've been out there,

187
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>if you've seen it. If you're listening tonight in California,

188
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>a first caller is coming up right after the break

189
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 2>is from California. One of our regular listeners six one seven,

190
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 2>two five four ten thirty or six one seven, nine

191
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 2>three one ten thirty. Let's talk because this is I've

192
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 2>never I never have imagined been around a long time,

193
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 2>been around a long time, never saw anything like this.

194
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>This actually makes Hawaii from me a couple of years ago,

195
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 2>to look relatively insignificant. I hate to put it like

196
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 2>that way, but there's never been a fire of this

197
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 2>magnitude in my lifetime at an American city. Los Angeles

198
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>is burning back on night Side.

199
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>After this, now back to Dan ray Line from the

200
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Window World Nightside Studios on WBZ the news radio.

201
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go directly to California. Bob is a regular caller

202
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 2>and a listener, and I know he's going to give

203
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 2>us some information probably we haven't heard before. Bob. Welcome,

204
00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your patients.

205
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 11>Go right ahead, Thank you, Dan, Good evening. First of all,

206
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 11>just the depth and scope of what's going on out

207
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 11>here cannot be comprehended just by television video. A few

208
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 11>quick facts. There are close to two hundred thousand people

209
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 11>now displaced, two hundred thousand. There is now a curfew

210
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 11>in place in the fire zone six pm to six am.

211
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 11>There's a curfew which will help, you know, mitigate the looters.

212
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 11>And there have been I've read north of ten thousand

213
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 11>structures completely destroyed. They don't really know the number yet

214
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 11>it continues to grow. It's not one fire, it's like

215
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 11>four or five fires simultaneously. And the concern the winds

216
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 11>return next Monday night. Tuesday, by no means the way

217
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 11>out of the woods. These major fires are not even

218
00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 11>containing yet.

219
00:12:59.279 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 6>Well.

220
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 11>I think one of the was eight percent contained, one

221
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.679
<v Speaker 11>of is three percent containing they're burning out of control

222
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.039
<v Speaker 11>as we speak. The point I wanted to make that

223
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 11>I heard a couple of days ago there are hundreds

224
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.519
<v Speaker 11>of metric tons of dead vegetation in these hill sites,

225
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 11>hundreds and hundreds of metric tons to breed that has

226
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 11>been there for years and years. In the past, the

227
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 11>state of California would clear out a lot of that debris.

228
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 11>They have not done it. Okay, they have failed to

229
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 11>do that over the last ten years. I heard a

230
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 11>fire spokesman two days ago say that this is rocket

231
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 11>fuel which is igniting these fires, all this dead vegetation.

232
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 11>The state's entwer is we have no money. We have

233
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.360
<v Speaker 11>no money to do that. Okay, Well, Governor NUSA, and

234
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.559
<v Speaker 11>I'm going to read you one other factor. I googled it.

235
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 11>Right in twenty twenty two, which is the last year

236
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 11>if you google, twenty baillion dollars was given to illegals

237
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 11>for services for illegals in the state of California. Twenty

238
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 11>three billion. Okay, they paid eight point eight point five

239
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.120
<v Speaker 11>billion in taxes is what illegals supposedly paid. So that's

240
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 11>a surplus. So that's the difference of fourteen billion dollars

241
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.440
<v Speaker 11>paid out. Can you imagine if we had just taken

242
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 11>a couple of billion dollars, just two billion of the

243
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 11>fourteen and cleaned out how much vegetation could have been

244
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 11>cleaned out. Okay, I will just say, and then I'll

245
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 11>let you ask any questions. This is a broken metropolis.

246
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 11>It is broken. The reporters, the anchor people of the

247
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 11>TV stations, they can barely not show their emotions. Okay,

248
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.559
<v Speaker 11>we are broken, We are crippled.

249
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Spirit.

250
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.519
<v Speaker 8>How long?

251
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 2>How long do you think it's going to take Los

252
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Angeles to recover?

253
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.080
<v Speaker 11>They had a reporter last night in which I go

254
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.879
<v Speaker 11>through six times a year. It's not just rich people.

255
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 11>People listening have to understand again, it's over turn of

256
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 11>thousand people displaced. Many of them are just common folks

257
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.679
<v Speaker 11>like you and me. The reporter last night stood on

258
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 11>PHM Malibu. I saw it, and he said, Malibu is gone.

259
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 11>He goes, for those of you that have enjoyed Malibu,

260
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 11>which is me and millions of people out here, he goes,

261
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 11>it's gone. As you remember Malibu, it no longer exists.

262
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.559
<v Speaker 11>He goes, it is not here anymore, and he goes

263
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.799
<v Speaker 11>it will take years and years and years. The general

264
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 11>thinking is five to ten years is what it will take.

265
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 2>I remember visiting a friend of mine in who had

266
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.440
<v Speaker 2>a house on the water in Malibu. He was a writer,

267
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>a movie writer, and he actually wrote music as well

268
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>from Otown and there's a beautiful home and there were

269
00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 2>actually the part of it was on stilts. It was

270
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>over the world water. It was actually part of the

271
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>home was in the water. So it was on the

272
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 2>water side of that highway in Malibu. And I guess

273
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 2>all of those homes on.

274
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 11>The water are gone, gone, gone. Yes, the fires jumped

275
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 11>p Pacific Coast Highway. The fires are jumping the freeways.

276
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 2>That home that that I visited him, I remember it. It

277
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 2>was like yesterday being there and it's no longer there.

278
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 2>And I looked at the I looked at the pictures

279
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>from the air. It looked as if Pacific Palisades was

280
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:42.879
<v Speaker 2>hit with an atomic bomb.

281
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 11>That's correct, they that's correct, and it's not just Pacific

282
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 11>Palisades again. The FOI fied major fires. Yeah, they were

283
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 11>talking to reported last night Alta Dina, right. He said,

284
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 11>it looks like a nuclear bomb. He said, it is.

285
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.480
<v Speaker 11>I'm trying to process it, you know, I'm originally from Boston.

286
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.359
<v Speaker 11>I'd love Boston, but I've been out here since nineteen

287
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 11>eighty seven. I'd love sell in California. I'm a native,

288
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.240
<v Speaker 11>considered a native. Now we're done, we're trying to process that.

289
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 11>We're in a status shock. The misallocation of resources is criminal.

290
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 11>What the politicians have done there, absolutely criminal. Their bass

291
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 11>kept the fire budget by twenty three million dollars going

292
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.400
<v Speaker 11>into this year.

293
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 7>Are you kidding me?

294
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 11>Okay, last celebrities you mentioned that was the last last month.

295
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 11>The celebrities, by the way, are turning against Newsome. Typically

296
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 11>they've been Democrat and liberals. They're turning against them. You've

297
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.400
<v Speaker 11>got these I got to contain myself. He You've got

298
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 11>these liberals to try to say, oh, well it's global warming. Well, yes,

299
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.960
<v Speaker 11>global global warming is certainly probably a factor. Okay, but

300
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.920
<v Speaker 11>had all that vegetation been cleaned out, the fires would

301
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 11>have been mitigated. They would not rocket few. Let's keep

302
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 11>using that word.

303
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>So I heard I heard the guy use rocket the

304
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.440
<v Speaker 2>phrase rocket fuel.

305
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.079
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I promise you, this is the next selection here.

306
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 11>It's gonna be interrupting. Look out. People are fed up.

307
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 11>I think they're gonna clean out nuisance turned out anyway.

308
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 11>But anyway, sorry, any more questions down.

309
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>No, it's just where are all these people gonna go about?

310
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the question. I mean they have nobody knows.

311
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 11>Nobody knows. Okay, It's like I said, we're crippled. I

312
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 11>intend long term to do what I can to help

313
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 11>out some things you and I've talked about. I think

314
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 11>downline will help because it will take years. In years again,

315
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 11>the thinking is five to ten years. Okay. Now consider

316
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.279
<v Speaker 11>this too. If there was a major earthquake right now,

317
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.440
<v Speaker 11>God forbid, if there was, all of our resources go

318
00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 11>down and these fires would completely There's no question, a

319
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 11>major part of the sun of California would just burn

320
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.119
<v Speaker 11>out if we didn't have these firefighting efforts going on,

321
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.319
<v Speaker 11>which anyway.

322
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 2>It will have to be years, if not decades before

323
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 2>those areas, those beautiful parts you know, west of downtown

324
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles toward the water ever come back, if ever. Yep, ye, Bob,

325
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.440
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for having me for the unseen reporting.

326
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I really do appreciate it.

327
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 11>Count your blessings, everybody listening, Count your blessings. When you

328
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 11>have your home, you know, it's a lot more than

329
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 11>a lot of people have right now.

330
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 2>They have nothing. They had the clothes in their back.

331
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, one of the things I would ask people

332
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>here in New England if your house ever was on fire,

333
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.839
<v Speaker 2>you have maybe a minute or two if that, to

334
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:59.319
<v Speaker 2>gather whatever possessions you What do you do? You don't

335
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 2>know what to do. Yeah, And I'm hearing today that

336
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:09.000
<v Speaker 2>insurance companies are actually already turning down claims.

337
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 11>Of oh yes, yeah, I think you'll have at least

338
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:17.039
<v Speaker 11>one insurance company who's my opinion, go bankrupt. There are

339
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 11>people that apply today. It is on news radio two

340
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.759
<v Speaker 11>hours ago. Okay, people people who have been applying to

341
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.880
<v Speaker 11>FEMA and they're getting automatically denied by FEMA is denying them,

342
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.519
<v Speaker 11>probably because you know the US citizens Okay, they're you

343
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 11>and me. But you know that doesn't count. You have

344
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 11>to be illegal, okay to get benefits full of your.

345

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 2>does give us a sense of how desperate it is

348
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>for people out there. Thank you, my friend, Thank you.

<v Speaker 2>We will talk about this, I hope until ten OClO.

353
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.240
<v Speaker 2>At ten o'clock, I want to talk about the sentencing

354
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:11.039
<v Speaker 2>today for the president elect. We will continue though, until

356
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>you see those pictures? It is it's beyond imaginable. It's

357
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.440
<v Speaker 2>beyond imaginable that in a city like Los Angeles this

358
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>could have happened. There are many factors, manufacturers. Back on

359
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Nightside after.

360
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>This, you're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's

361
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

362
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Back to the phones we go. Let me go to

363
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Ray and Lowell. Ray, you are next on Nightside. Welcome.

364
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 8>How are you doing?

365
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Dan?

366
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you we're all doing better than people

367
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:51.839
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles. We got to keep them in our

368
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:52.759
<v Speaker 2>prayers tonight. Ray.

369
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.079
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I just I like to listen to your show

370
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 8>a lot whenever I can, And I guess wanted a

371
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 8>time in a couple by ideas here and just see

372
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 8>what you think about it, what your audience thinks about it.

373
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 8>You know, I mean, nobody wants to kick anybody when

374
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 8>they're down, unless you're sick of yourself, you know. But

375
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 8>I mean, but this, this is absolutely the California thing.

376
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.640
<v Speaker 8>The way California is run, in my opinion, is just

377
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 8>like absolutely completely unaccountable for anything out there. They're just

378
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 8>case in point. Gavin Newsom has been there. I think

379
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.839
<v Speaker 8>I could be wrong, but I think he's been governor

380
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:34.000
<v Speaker 8>for like seven or eight years or something like that.

381
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, he's been governor for a while.

382
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 8>You're absolutely right, yeah, And you know with all this stuff,

383
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.440
<v Speaker 8>like like somebody was saying your earlier call the person

384
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 8>you haad call in yourself. You know, I'm using the

385
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.240
<v Speaker 8>same term he did and you did. It's not rocket

386
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 8>science that you know, you've got to clear out these

387
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 8>bush things and stuff like that. And if that hasn't

388
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.559
<v Speaker 8>been done for years, I mean years and years in

389
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 8>an area that's susceptible to you know, all kinds of

390
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:06.160
<v Speaker 8>stuff out the weatherwise. For Joe Biden to come out

391
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 8>now on his last days, as he's leaving the Oval Office,

392
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 8>thank god, but as he's leaving the Oval Office, for

393
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 8>him to come out and say to Gavin Newsom, the

394
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.039
<v Speaker 8>post the boy, Gavin Newsom, the post a boy of

395
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.759
<v Speaker 8>unaccountability and the post a boy of just mal seasons

396
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:27.359
<v Speaker 8>for Joe Biden to say to him spare no expense.

397
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 8>He doesn't. My words, not his. The US taxpayer, US

398
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:37.279
<v Speaker 8>taxpayer nation from Cedar Shining Sea will bail you out

399
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.839
<v Speaker 8>because you did everything possible to make this happen by

400
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 8>default by not doing anything, and for the for the

401
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:50.119
<v Speaker 8>American taxpayers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Georgia to come

402
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 8>out and pay for all us and he said this,

403
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 8>He said this. Biden said this. He said, you know,

404
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 8>we'll pay the salaries of the firefighters, will pay everything.

405
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.200
<v Speaker 8>And he said twice they are no expense. That is

406
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:05.920
<v Speaker 8>absolutely a phenomenal amount of money. Because he's going to

407
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:09.359
<v Speaker 8>step in, I'm sure and whatever insurance companies are turning

408
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 8>down claims as they should after what has happened. I mean,

409
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 8>he's going to probably bail them out insurance wise. The

410
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 8>American taxpayer just gets host time and time again, in

411
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.559
<v Speaker 8>my opinion, by the Democrats. Because now, I will say this,

412
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 8>in the interest of beings said, if this happened in

413
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 8>a Republican runs state, let's say just pick one like

414
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.279
<v Speaker 8>with Christy Normans or something like that, I would be

415
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 8>equally as had on the Republican if they heco they

416
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 8>were absolutely as malfeasoned as this person here, But I

417
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.839
<v Speaker 8>just I'm sick and tired of the taxpayers coming in

418
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.599
<v Speaker 8>and rescuing people after they spend all of our money

419
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 8>and you know, and then billions and billions to Ukraine

420
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.519
<v Speaker 8>and stuff, and the people in what was it in

421
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 8>Ohio or someplace where they had.

422
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 2>The Palestine, Ohio Palestine.

423
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 8>Up and but for Joe Biden's not even set a

424
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 8>foot in these palatines help those people out. This is

425
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 8>absolutely disgriceful and I I appreciate you, Dan very much.

426
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.400
<v Speaker 8>I appreciate all you do, and I appreciate you letting

427
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:16.319
<v Speaker 8>me have the before here from me.

428
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>You've had it and a lot that you said people

429
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>will agree with and feel free to keep calling and

430
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.400
<v Speaker 2>listen every night. Thanks, thanks, very appreciate it.

431
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.480
<v Speaker 8>How about you, Dan, by bye, I'll about you good night.

432
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Suzanne Susanne and Newton Susanne next

433
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:29.640
<v Speaker 2>time Nightsig go right.

434
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Ahead, Dan, thanks for taking my call. I think Gavin Newsoon,

435
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 3>governor of California, is trying to say something called the

436
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 3>spotted Newt. It's between the lizard and a fish, and

437
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.240
<v Speaker 3>that is what his main mission seems to be.

438
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, there was you know, there was there was some

439
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.079
<v Speaker 2>talk of that. Uh and I don't know enough.

440
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

441
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, talking about time I've been there. I heard others

442
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 2>say that it was some sort of endangered smelt or

443
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.559
<v Speaker 2>something like that.

444
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.640
<v Speaker 6>But I like.

445
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 2>The bottom line is that this was devastating. Every year

446
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 2>they have the Santa Ana winds. They knew that it

447
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 2>was a very dry summer out there, apparently very little rain,

448
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 2>and once you get a fire started and those winds

449
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>are blowing, uh, you know, the results were very predictable,

450
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.480
<v Speaker 2>very predictable.

451
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 3>And it was like a kinder rocks because people want

452
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.880
<v Speaker 3>trees around their house, the palace.

453
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it's a beautiful It was a beautiful area.

454
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:48.319
<v Speaker 2>It's going to take them generations. Generations were covered. So Zanne,

455
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 2>hope you have a good weekend. Thank you very much,

456
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your calling.

457
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Thanks so much, Dan, you as well have a great Now.

458
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Patrick down in the District of Columbia. Hi, Patrick,

459
00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>how are you?

460
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 6>Bye, sir? And I definitely want to when things are

461
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 6>not so term, you know, it's such turmoil. But boy,

462
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 6>oh boy, this year has just kicked off with just

463
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 6>an amazing just a few hours, a couple hours after

464
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 6>midnight on January the first. My goodness, well, we're down

465
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:13.720
<v Speaker 6>to it.

466
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:16.960
<v Speaker 2>That true, and of course this now on top of it.

467
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.039
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievable. It is just unbelievable.

468
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:24.480
<v Speaker 6>It's totally unbelievable. I'm looking thinking about is there such

469
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:28.240
<v Speaker 6>a thing as a massive American ingenuity that can run

470
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 6>pipelines from the ocean and just was the darn place

471
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 6>and put it all out from our navy ships. I mean,

472
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.480
<v Speaker 6>what is there is there American ingenuity to put this

473
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 6>stuff out?

474
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. I mean under these circumstances. I mean,

475
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm told that in the past I watched a lot

476
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:49.039
<v Speaker 2>of this and they said that, well, there's the Pacific

477
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Ocean half a mile away. The question is how do

478
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.039
<v Speaker 2>you physically get the water out of the ocean? Number one?

479
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And then number two. I guess they did have some

480
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>ability with some of these planes, if they could get

481
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 2>them up in the air. One of my listeners earlier

482
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.839
<v Speaker 2>tonight actually sent me a couple of emails, and the

483
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>emails were talking about these and incredibly large planes and

484
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe you've heard of them. I frankly, I guess I

485
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.359
<v Speaker 2>had heard of them, but I didn't know a lot

486
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:24.079
<v Speaker 2>about them. And these are massive planes they called water

487
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:28.279
<v Speaker 2>supertankers seven forty Seven's the listener who wrote into me.

488
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.920
<v Speaker 2>His name is Steve. He's a pretty sharp guy, and

489
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>he says, in the United States, these seven hundred, the

490
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>seven forty seven supertankers are primarily based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado,

491
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>at the Colorado Springs Airport, operated by a company called

492
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Global super Tanker. Apparently these are located there for convenient

493
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:53.599
<v Speaker 2>access for rapid deployments of the Western US. I've seen

494
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.640
<v Speaker 2>some pictures of these. These are huge planes. I guess

495
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 2>they filled them with water. I have no idea how

496
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.119
<v Speaker 2>you could fill them with that amount of water, how

497
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the plane could get off the ground, but I assume

498
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they do. I assume they do. So anyone out there

499
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.640
<v Speaker 2>who and if Steve B. Happens to be listening and

500
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.000
<v Speaker 2>he can add to the conversation, love to hear from

501
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 2>him on this. These just look like a huge plane.

502
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Almost looks like one of those planes that used to

503
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>fly the SuperSonics to Europe in three hours. The concords.

504
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.279
<v Speaker 2>It sort of has that shape of the concord. I

505
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know how they would get the water on. I

506
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:35.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know how they get it up in the air,

507
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:38.559
<v Speaker 2>but if they could, it's going to deliver a lot

508
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:42.000
<v Speaker 2>more water in one fell swoop than some of these

509
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>helicopters have been delivering. You watch the helicopter and the

510
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 2>water comes out, and the water seems to dissipate before

511
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>it hits the ground.

512
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:52.720
<v Speaker 6>You know, with my eye on the clock here, Dan,

513
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 6>this could happen to any of us, to any of

514
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 6>us in any city. And when you add back indo December,

515
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 6>when you asked me about what I thought about the drones,

516
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.039
<v Speaker 6>and that I haven't heard because I've been knocking on

517
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 6>doors in the watershed community of the Chesapake Bay about

518
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 6>evacuations and how to organize yourself for evacuations and you know,

519
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:13.720
<v Speaker 6>how to look out for one another. But any of

520
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:16.279
<v Speaker 6>this can happen. This could happen to Boston, It could

521
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 6>happen to Philly, Baltimore, DC. And we were taught earlier

522
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.839
<v Speaker 6>in the fifties and sixties. You know, when boys are

523
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 6>boys and girls are girls. You know, the boys put

524
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:31.440
<v Speaker 6>fire first. And there's just certain practices that we used

525
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 6>to do in our country that we just don't do anymore.

526
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 6>And as you see the result of what when we

527
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 6>don't use our common sense and do what we're supposed

528
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 6>to do. Yeah.

529
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that Los Angeles and that part of

530
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:47.920
<v Speaker 2>California is particularly susceptible. Apparently they have not had a

531
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 2>substantial rain out there since May, and you know when

532
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.319
<v Speaker 2>the Santa Ana winds are going to start to blow.

533
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I think that they're almost predictable, as when the birds,

534
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 2>when the swallows returned to cal Pastrano in May whatever

535
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.359
<v Speaker 2>that rather March, you know, the one of the earliest

536
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.319
<v Speaker 2>signs of spring. It's I've never seen anything like this.

537
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:12.440
<v Speaker 2>This looks to me when I look at the video,

538
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I think about Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the in August

539
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>of nineteen forty five. Everything is just leveled.

540
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 6>This is the This is the real deal. There's there's

541
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.359
<v Speaker 6>no question about it. And I hope to pray that

542
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.400
<v Speaker 6>the ingenuity, the American ingenuity, will come along and of

543
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 6>course say.

544
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how, I don't know how you rebuild

545
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a neighborhood of this. It's going to take them months

546
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 2>just to clear the debris. At some point they're going

547
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to have to allow people to go back and see

548
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 2>if there's anything they can salvage. I assume they have

549
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to search for bodies. They think there are more than

550
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:58.279
<v Speaker 2>ten people. This is a it's it's enormous. It's enormous. Patrick,

551
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:01.279
<v Speaker 2>keep that thinking up on and come up with something

552
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:01.599
<v Speaker 2>for us.

553
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Okay, Dan, thank you very much. I'm very sorry

554
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 6>for the circumstances. Again, thank my fellow listeners for having

555
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 6>me along. And I worry about them very much.

556
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Concerned about civil defenses is right up your alley. I

557
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 2>know that we'll take a quick break right back on Nightside.

558
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:22.240
<v Speaker 2>We got Alex and Ruth and Brad and Steve and

559
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 2>if we take this, want to take this in the

560
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>next hour you decide, We'll be back on nightside after this.

561
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

562
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

563
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's keep rolling here. We got a bunch of calls.

564
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's try to get everybody and Alex and Millis Alex

565
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 2>next on Nightside. Your comments on Los Angeles is burning.

566
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:49.680
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, my heartaches for those people. But therefore, the

567
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.880
<v Speaker 6>grace of God go. I you know, I was going

568
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.359
<v Speaker 6>to say, Dan, I was in a store and they

569
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 6>were asking for a donation. So I was talking to

570
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.240
<v Speaker 6>a gentleman working the store, and he is from that area.

571
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.799
<v Speaker 6>He said to me that, uh, you know, years ago,

572
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:11.359
<v Speaker 6>equal these people well to do. Uh they were allowed

573
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:14.880
<v Speaker 6>to build there, you know, they somehow or other where

574
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 6>they shouldn't have built. So actually I'm not I'm not

575
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 6>trying to you know, kick them when they're down, but uh,

576
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:26.599
<v Speaker 6>you know those that area is is very very congested,

577
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:31.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, and and sometimes uh you have you have

578
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.319
<v Speaker 6>to allow you know, nature and not to not to

579
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 6>take over, you know, by building and and you know,

580
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.839
<v Speaker 6>causing and so the homes, I guess are close together,

581
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 6>but they're.

582
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.920
<v Speaker 2>They're they're close together. But there's homes all across America

583
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 2>that are close together. Go to any urban, go to

584
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 2>any city in America. Have you been to you know,

585
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to the back bay. Look there there are townhouses everywhere.

586
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.759
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the way Americans live. We don't live. It's

587
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>not the sixteenth century where all of a sudden everybody

588
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>lives on forty acres and has a mule, Alex. I

589
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.920
<v Speaker 2>mean that's the way people live.

590
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.559
<v Speaker 6>We could people, I'm sure, but yeah, yeah. The other

591
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.719
<v Speaker 6>thing is, you know, I mean where we live here.

592
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.920
<v Speaker 6>We're very fortunate because you know, we may complain about

593
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 6>the cold or the snow if we get snowstorms, but

594
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.039
<v Speaker 6>you know, we don't have hurricanes. We don't have you know,

595
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Speaker 6>we have hurricanes.

596
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Of course, we have hurricanes. We have hurricanes, we have blizzards,

597
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.239
<v Speaker 2>but we survive those. We've had plenty of hurricanes. We

598
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.159
<v Speaker 2>have a devastating hurricanes.

599
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.000
<v Speaker 6>Alex, right, but not to the degree of other parts

600
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 6>of the country. You know, I think you know down

601
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:43.559
<v Speaker 6>south in Florida they're always getting tornado in the Midwest, tornadoes.

602
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:43.880
<v Speaker 9>Oh.

603
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. I will take our wed weather. And I've said

604
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:49.679
<v Speaker 2>that here a lot, and I think you agree on it.

605
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll take an occasional blizzard, you lose power for a

606
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:54.559
<v Speaker 2>day or two, I get it, Okay, I'll take an

607
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.559
<v Speaker 2>occasional hurricane compared to what we have other parts of

608
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the country, other parts of the world, unamis you have typhoons.

609
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Hurricanes are real hurricanes. Not in far. We've had some

610
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.440
<v Speaker 2>bad ones here. We've had there was a big hurricane

611
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen fifty four. We've had some bad hurricanes. We

612
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.800
<v Speaker 2>had the blizzard of seventy eight. Yeah, but nothing like

613
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.280
<v Speaker 2>what these folks have been through. Quote to them, all right.

614
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I was going to say, do you think you

615
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.920
<v Speaker 11>know our insurance rates will get affected because of this?

616
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I think everyone's insurance rates will get affected. That's how huge.

617
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.039
<v Speaker 6>We have nothing to do with the fires out there,

618
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 6>but you know, no.

619
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:33.679
<v Speaker 2>That's what insurance is all about, Alex. You know, in

620
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:35.559
<v Speaker 2>other words, if you have a fire in your house,

621
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.960
<v Speaker 2>you you you buy insurance. It's sort of a hedge

622
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.320
<v Speaker 2>against if no one had insurance. That's that's the whole

623
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:48.719
<v Speaker 2>concept of insurance. The group takes takes on the responsibil ability.

624
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Will there be Will there be an impact here? Of

625
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:51.360
<v Speaker 2>course there will be.

626
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you have insurance and you never make a claim.

627
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.400
<v Speaker 6>You make one claim and they want to cancel you.

628
00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:59.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, well that's a different story. That's a different story,

629
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and they should not be able to do that. Alex.

630
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:03.559
<v Speaker 2>You gotta keep rolling. Thank you much, appreciate what you call.

631
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Let me go quickly here if I can, Brad and

632
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.159
<v Speaker 2>lean Brad next on Nightsiger right.

633
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 6>Ahead, like good evening.

634
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Damn it.

635
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:11.960
<v Speaker 10>The place looks like a scene out of the Terminator movie.

636
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:16.400
<v Speaker 6>There the night went horrible quickly.

637
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:19.199
<v Speaker 10>One of my neighbors had a unique job. He used

638
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:24.480
<v Speaker 10>to go around to different cities towns and they used

639
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.920
<v Speaker 10>to check the water pressure on the hydrants. They used

640
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.559
<v Speaker 10>to measure the rate, the flow, the pressure, the whole deal.

641
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:33.079
<v Speaker 10>And he used to tell me, Oh, this city's got great,

642
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.480
<v Speaker 10>good place to live. These ones are bad and whatnot.

643
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 10>And you know we're talking our area, but I'm sure

644
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 10>they do that in every city, major, you know, whatever.

645
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.360
<v Speaker 10>So there's a bunch of people over there, and you know,

646
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.199
<v Speaker 10>I can't speak exactly, but people know what hydrants work,

647
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 10>and they know the pressure. There's reports on this, and like,

648
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.400
<v Speaker 10>this stuff could have been addressed, It could have been fixed.

649
00:36:56.039 --> 00:37:00.320
<v Speaker 10>I mean, and then you hear the previous cause twenty

650
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.719
<v Speaker 10>three billion dollars went elsewhere, and I mean, this is preventible,

651
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.199
<v Speaker 10>and like all I can think of is in Massachusetts,

652
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.639
<v Speaker 10>we got a lot of money going elsewhere to And

653
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 10>I mean, you got to think that some of this

654
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 10>stuff isn't happening here as well. And I mean you

655
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:18.719
<v Speaker 10>mentioned the back day, a moment ago, and God's a bid,

656
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:21.400
<v Speaker 10>something horrible like that happens, and these guys pull up

657
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.480
<v Speaker 10>and the hydrants are either have low pressure or the debt.

658
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know the back bay, Remember the Hotel von

659
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Dome with the all the firefighters who died in nineteen

660
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.199
<v Speaker 2>seventy two. We've had those incidents. Looking in Worcester, the

661
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.119
<v Speaker 2>cold storage fire that took the lives of five Worcester

662
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:43.320
<v Speaker 2>firefighters back, I guess it was in two thousand. It's

663
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.719
<v Speaker 2>almost twenty five years ago, or late nineteen ninety nine.

664
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:50.639
<v Speaker 2>They just had the twenty fifth anniversary. You have these tragedies,

665
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.280
<v Speaker 2>but nothing like on the scale of what we're looking

666
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:54.079
<v Speaker 2>at and terrible.

667
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:57.320
<v Speaker 10>But I mean some of these hydrants in the areas

668
00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.599
<v Speaker 10>that aren't burnt yet, I mean they're going to run

669
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.239
<v Speaker 10>under the same issues in the areas that are burnt.

670
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Said, there's some question as to whether or not when

671
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:11.760
<v Speaker 2>they killed the electricity out there that impacted the ability

672
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of the hydrants to work. I'm not enough of an

673
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.559
<v Speaker 2>engineer or a technician to know about it, but there

674
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:20.119
<v Speaker 2>must be some lessons that can be learned simple as.

675
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.480
<v Speaker 10>Well with the palms popping it out and stuff like that.

676
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, thanks, Brad, I got to keep rolling here,

677
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.840
<v Speaker 2>got a whole bunch of you two. Have a good weekend.

678
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Let me get real quickly, June and Rhode Island, June

679
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.559
<v Speaker 2>your next time nights, I go right ahead.

680
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 9>I did. I wanted to bring to your attention. I've

681
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.960
<v Speaker 9>been listening to Los Angeles News all week, day and

682
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 9>night and getting the updates. There's a Pacific Palisades family

683
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:50.599
<v Speaker 9>fends off flames. It was a father, a son, and

684
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.519
<v Speaker 9>a greeand son and their last name was go Wings.

685
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:57.800
<v Speaker 9>And I saw a peace on it and I just

686
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:01.239
<v Speaker 9>googled it. And what he did was he took a generator,

687
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 9>a pool pump, a garden hose, and a sprinkler system

688
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 9>and drain the pool to protect his property during the fire.

689
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 9>And so far he's okay, and he tried to help

690
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.800
<v Speaker 9>save some of the neighbors fire. So if you google it,

691
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 9>it's very interesting and a lot of other people come

692
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.039
<v Speaker 9>up that have done similar things.

693
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, there's always people, you know, June, There's always

694
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>people who in crises are able to react because they

695
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>know they have technical expertise. But the average person who

696
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:34.679
<v Speaker 2>might have a pool in their backyard, they don't have

697
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:36.760
<v Speaker 2>that technical acumen. They don't have that.

698
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.679
<v Speaker 9>No, you know what I'm saying, Gee, that was pretty ingenious.

699
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:43.199
<v Speaker 9>It's something he should you know, make a kit and

700
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:44.400
<v Speaker 9>sell for people.

701
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.719
<v Speaker 2>You gotta have a generator. That's expensive and you've got

702
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:49.079
<v Speaker 2>to be able to know how to do it and

703
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.559
<v Speaker 2>do it under pressure. Can you imagine if you're in

704
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.280
<v Speaker 2>that neighborhood and all of a sudden you saw the

705
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:56.840
<v Speaker 2>fire sweeping down the street where you live. You have

706
00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.000
<v Speaker 2>two minutes to get out of your house. Those people

707
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:02.920
<v Speaker 2>have that thirty seconds are a minute to grab whatever

708
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:05.800
<v Speaker 2>they could grab. They could grab I don't know, some

709
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.880
<v Speaker 2>old pictures or what do you do? You grab? You

710
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:12.719
<v Speaker 2>grab your wallet, grab your purse, maybe grab if you

711
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:17.320
<v Speaker 2>have a passport, you grab some check books. But it's

712
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:18.280
<v Speaker 2>it's all gone.

713
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:21.880
<v Speaker 9>It's all gone, very very sad. It's very very stressful

714
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:23.000
<v Speaker 9>for everyone there.

715
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.760
<v Speaker 2>And I got you in before the ten, but I

716
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.519
<v Speaker 2>got a break for news here. So as always, thanks

717
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:30.679
<v Speaker 2>for your loyalty and thanks for listening. Tonight, it's gonna

718
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:33.880
<v Speaker 2>call over. Thank you much. Thank okay to those of

719
00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:36.880
<v Speaker 2>you on the line, to Ruth, to Jerry, and to Steve.

720
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Stay there. We will take your calls in the next

721
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:42.320
<v Speaker 2>hour and we will stick with this. If you want to,

<v Speaker 2>we can talk about the Donald Trump story on Monday

723
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.239
<v Speaker 2>night if we have to, but we're gonna stick with
