Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the Jody Jones Show on four tong ninety
six to seven and day. I'm fourteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Good afternoon, I am Jody Jones with always my co
host Frank Van Lanningham.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Good afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I want everybody out there to understand something here. These
fires are not by accident. So pointing fingers, blaming people,
that's what they want us to think that everybody's doing.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
But we're not.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Frank, you're a construction guy, right, I am. Okay, So
you have your own business. You've built buildings, You've built.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I've built neighborhoods. Yes, I've built buildings. Every built hospitals,
I've built mansions, I've built freeway overpasses.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So I want to I want to ask you a
question as a contractor, if you build a building anything
and say it burns down, what's going to happen. Are
they just going to say, oh, it burned down, or
what are they going to look at?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Well, it's all about failure analysis. When there is a failure,
the first thing we're going to do is want to
dissect it. And we're going to want to dissect it honestly.
So the first thing we do is we say who
designed this? And then you have to show the work
and so at that point, the engineer gets brought in,
the architect gets brought in, and we want to say
(01:55):
who conceived this idea, what was it based on? For example,
let's say a second story falls down. We're going to
say who designed the underpinnings, who designed the framing, who
designed the foundation, who designed the connections and all of
this because we want to get better. Again, this is
all about improvement. It's not about who to sue this time.
For some people it is and that's for the people
(02:15):
with a very short sighted view big picture, we don't
want to relive Groundhog Day for the rest of our
lives and keep repeating this. So first of all, who
designed it? And show the work? Step one.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
So what I hear you saying is, you know, when
something happens like that, they're not pointing fingers. They want
to see what happened and what they can do better.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Right, that is the overriding objective. Now along the way,
trust and believe a lot of finger pointing is going
to happen. And you're one hundred percent right. This analogy
translates over to what is happening in Los Angeles right
now because what we have there is a massive failure
of epic proportion, and there's plenty of blame to go around.
(02:57):
There's also just a ton of improvement that can happen
right now if we're if we're able to improve, some
people are too dumb to improve, some people never get there.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, Unfortunately, you're right, Frank. So what I want everybody
to understand is this, This is not happening by chance.
A lightning strike didn't start these fires. They are finding
out that basically arsons all over the place and they're
still catching people and they had just caught an illegal
(03:30):
immigrant starting a fire. He had six different phones on him.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
This is fact.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Okay, So I'm not making this up. I'm not you know,
doing anything like that. You know, I'm stating facts here.
You're not really hearing much because they don't want to
report about it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Right, Well, the proximate cause of ignition is one thing
to talk about. That's who lit the match, who put
the match on the brush. That's like saying who tipped
over the domino, But then we can also talk about
who put the dominoes in place?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Right, So I kind of went off off what we're
talking about right there. But you know about pointing fingers
and stuff like that, and and yes, so that that's what.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm getting that.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You know, it is time to prefer to point the finger,
because I mean, that's why these politicians like Gavin Newsom
is trying to deflect. He's trying to deflect off of
him and blame everybody else and you know, act like
the guy that cares and and oh we just need
to get to the bottom of this. Well, really, the
bottom of this is your policies.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well, he's the one that set it up. And along
the way, it's this feeds into totally who designed it?
You can say, was this the spawn of an eagle
evil design or was this the spawn of just something
that just grew like a tumor and we just kind
of let it keep growing. So it's either incompetence or
(04:56):
it's malice. It's one of the two, and neither one
is a good an. I think it's a little bit
of both. And honestly, some of these people are not
smart enough to concoct and evil design. Some of these
people basically just wiggled into a job that they really
were not qualified to have, and all of these things
were sort of a confluence and the comedy of errors.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Those few were just the pawns, you know. The the
puppet master are people like Vanguard, State Street, Black Rock, right,
And I don't care. You can call me conspiracy theorist,
whatever you want to call me, but you know, it's
it's it's pretty much slapping us in the face right now.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Well, without a doubt, ironically, the same people that own
the insurance companies that cancel these people will be the
same people that swoop in and buy these properties for
a discount and develop the condominiums that will replace them.
So you can say that was an evil design. And
one might say that and make that argument. Another might say,
these people sit back and watch from on top of
the hill, they see the puzzle pieces the way the
(05:54):
idiots arrange them, and then they step in and benefit
from that. Call it what you want. And honestly, I
see very little difference in looting versus looting. It's the
same thing. The only difference is these skid marks at
the bottom are stealing TV sets. These people skid marks
at the top are stealing lives.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well, you know, you see this looting, But if you
look at the national average crime Pam BONDI said it yesterday,
I believe, or I don't know, Thursday, I think it was,
or Wednesday, I think it was Wednesday, Yeah, Wednesday, she
was telling O Shifty that California is eighty seven percent
(06:36):
higher in crime rate than the national average. That's just
that's a shame, you know, it shouldn't be. That is
man made, guys, exactly, you know. So, And what's sad
is when they start rep there's going to be a
lot of people will unfortunately a lot of poor souls
lost their homes. And when they build back, when they build,
(07:02):
you know who's going to build it. What are they
going to build?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I promise you it's not going to look a whole
lot like it used to look. It's going to be
an apartment city, a condos city. They're going to cite
the need for more housing. They're going to pack in
more density, and pretty much the cost of one of
these condos will be about the cost of somebody's house.
And if you're lucky enough to buy one of these
condos that you probably can't afford to make the strokes on,
you're probably gonna live within a mile of where you
(07:29):
used to live, and you're going to be asked to
accept a lower standard of living a brand new mortgage.
It's unconscionable. But again that goes to number two. You see,
after this thing gets designed, it needs to get approved.
And so i'd say who designed it? Then too, who
approved it? And show the work and who approved it?
Here the voters, you Los Angeles voters, you California voters,
(07:54):
have tacitly, implicitly, expressly approved every thing that has happened.
You have allowed this to happen. These people are your subordinates.
And I'm talking from the governor to the mayor, to
the firefighter to the dogcatcher. Everything that happens in your
little realm you have voted for repeatedly. So it's I'm
(08:19):
sorry for the tragedy that has befallen you, but you
are exactly responsible for exactly what has happened. Now, I'm
not going to rub this in. I'm not going to
take advantage of an opportunity to humiliate you and add
some insult to injury, because that's not Christian, that's not good,
that's not what God would have me do. But at
the same time, I am not going to sugarcoat this
(08:42):
and give a drunk a drink and tell you that
everything's okay, because there is plenty of blame to go around,
and you voters, honestly, are largely to blame because you
got duped.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
That's that's next, you know, That's that's about lion. You
know what I mean. So that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Here in California. They lie, they being the politician. Yep,
I'm telling you right now, until we stop same day
voting blanket mail out, you know, blanket ballots to everybody
and anybody, and we need to show IDs until we
can get back to you know, get rid of that
(09:24):
and and get back to you know, common sense voting.
It's gonna be I don't see, you know, a light
within a tunnel. You know, it's going to take a
long time to fix.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
The wrong without a doubt, without a doubt, Jody. The
next thing I'm gonna ask is who built it? Jody? Yeah, okay,
that would be as a contractor. If I build something,
they're going to look at it and say, okay, the
structure fell down. Did you have three sixteen penny nails
on every joint? Did you have was your plywood nailed
off at six twelve or four to twelve? What was
(09:58):
the spec was at five hs OSB was at CDX?
You know what was it? And they're going to look
at it and then they're going to go back and
compare that to the engineering. They're going to compare that
to the inspection and make sure that everybody lined up
that it was conceived properly, it was inspected properly, built properly,
and so this is it. Next is who inspected it?
(10:19):
You see, when something fails we dissect it, and we
dissected in a laboratory with proper lighting, and we are
honest about it. And in this one and this is
really no different. You can look at one of my
structures as a microcosm of a city, of a country,
of a state, you pick, it doesn't matter. But all
(10:39):
along it was the voters who approved it. They built it,
they paid for it, They were supposed to have inspected it,
as was the mainstream media, who is allegedly the building
inspector of the country that keeps an eye on these
politicians and brings you know, speaks truth to power. You
would think that's what we learned in ninth grade civics.
(11:00):
It turns out not to be the case.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
You know, here's the problem I have with with what's
going on right now. You hear the Democrats and and
and people like Shift Adam Shift, and and all you
hear from them is is, uh, you know, nobody's above
the law. Well, yeah, yeah, they are. People like that
(11:24):
are because anytime they do anything, it's never their fault.
They never you know, they blame everybody else. You know,
I'm sick of hearing them talk. I'm here sick of
hearing them, you know, blame others for what, for what
they do, you know, and and it's just it's it's
(11:45):
sick being I'm tired of it, and I'm sure you
all out there are tired of it. And you know, again,
we showed it when we voted, you know, the popular vote.
You know, we won the House. We want to senate
and and and right now they're like mice scattering around,
you know when you turn over that rock that they're
(12:05):
running everywhere. They're eating each other up. And it's crazy
and it's super sad. And I'm sick and tired of it.
And I'm ready for changing.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I know you are. And we're gonna see change without
a doubt.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
You see, they've had the benefit of the microphone this
whole time they've been in power, and the microphone has
always belonged to them. But guess what, Jody, we got
the microphone. You hear me, right now, folks, we got
the microphone. We're talking. And you know what, I'm totally
proud of you, Jody. For the last two years you've
been taking it to them and at great personal risk.
(12:42):
I got to say, you know, run your mouth like this,
God help us. Had the other administration one, and here
we are running our yaps. We are prime targets. But
you know what, I don't care. I'm in your face.
I'm taking it to you.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yep. Hey.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
With that, we're gonna take a break, and when we
come back, we're gonna talk a little bit more about
the fires, and then I want to talk about what's
going on with Trump's picks and the way the Democrats
are trying to pick them apart.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
The Jody Jones Show on Power Talking ninety six seven
nine AM, fourteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Hey, you know what I want to get back to this?
Uh you know the fires and uh, the epic failure.
You know what I mean. This is an epic failure
by La Merri, Karen Bess, the fire chief, Christian Crowley,
and ultimately the Governor of Californ, Gavin Newsom. It's man made.
It's the policies, it's the fire embatements or the lack
(15:06):
of it's it's you know, letting all the water run
off to the ocean to save the smelts. You know,
it's it's all the above, guys, It's all the above.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
It all worked together in perfect harmony. And we saw
a lot of us. I'm not gonna say, I'm creskin.
I don't get to predict everything in the future, but
I certainly saw somebody stacking the dominoes and all I
had to do was imagine for one second that somebody
flicked over the first domino, and then all of this
would unfold. And honestly, it was like watching somebody who
(15:38):
had bread, peanut butter, and jelly and I'm looking at you, going, hey, Joe,
he looks like they're making a peanut butter and Julie
shandwich and you're talking, Oh no, no, of course they're not.
What do you think conspiracy theorist. No, this was so
patently obvious, and their job as leaders was to see this.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You know, you know what the patent saying for this
administration was, don't leave your lion eyes right, don't believe
your lion eyes. Aren't you sick and tired of that?
Why aren't you sick and tired of the gaslighting? And
and you know what's so nice, Frank is we don't
have to put up with that.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Anymore, not anymore, never again.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
It just doesn't feel good for the.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Rest of my life, Tody. We will not be pushed around,
We will not be put down, We will not be
impugned and salted, not told.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
What are you doing your own research?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I don't have to listen to your crap anymore. I
don't have to sit down, shut up, and take it
from you.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
You know what's nice is is well again, I want
to say again, you know I feel and praying for
the people down in southern California.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
That's my hometown.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You know, It's it's just it's so sad. You see
all these stories and you know the people that the
death rate is rising. It's just super sad, you know what,
And and yes, do I think it could have been prevented,
absolutely one. Can we prevent fires?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
No, we can't.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
However we can we can stop and prevent the amount
of damage that it does. And what I mean by
that is is the fire embatement and the policies will
make it. We just had insurance companies last year say
they are not renewing sixty nine percent of Southern California's
(17:26):
fire policies because of that.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
They listed the reason. Sure, they listed the reason.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Would that not be motivation for say, the owners of
those insurance companies to kick this off so that they
could pick up this real estate? Imagine you see, for
somebody to gain, somebody needs to lose. This is a
zero sum game. Let's quit pretending that everything is infinite. Okay,
if there's ten marbles in the canon, I take six.
That leaves four. So for these people to win.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
I'm sorry, I'm not getting a math.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I said, did you know that twenty five percent of
the people make up three quarters of the population. Jorday, Yeah.
But somebody needs to be a loser in order to
have a winner here, and so it's not that far fetched. Now,
I'm not going to go out on a limita and
accuse these people of doing that. But I'm going to
tell you it's awfully eerie to me when I start
thinking of you know, you think of mom in a crime, mom, motive, opportunity,
(18:20):
and means the other side had all three. But don't
look at that, folks, that's not a peanut, butter and
jolly sandwich. Again, don't believe your lion, I no, don't don't.
And do you remember during COVID what do you do
in your own research?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Don't believe the facts. People don't believe the facts. Believe
what we're telling you.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah, and my answer is yeah, it's called reading. And
I read and I think and I study, and it's like, no, no, no,
just stick this needle in your arm.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Quit thinking.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Okay, come on, people, We're not that dumb. Can you
imagine people literally let some stranger shove some god knows
what into their arm because they were told to.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Don't you There are people that dumb? Don't you love?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
How you know when you when you turn on the
news and you see Gavin Newsom and you know he's
trying to, you know, blame Trump for polarizing you know
what's going on right now? No, he's not polarizing.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
He is.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
What he's doing is he's pointing out the failure and
and the because he's a businessman. And again we just
explained what happens if you're a contractor and you're you're
building burns down or something. They go through with a
fine tooth comb to figure out how it happened, how
(19:30):
it started, was there anything else that you can do
better to it won't happen again? And was it? Was
it your fault? Actually right? Because I mean yeah, I
mean are they gonna point blame? Yeah, they really are.
Because if it's a man made and and it's your fault,
then it's your fault, no matter how you draw it,
(19:52):
no matter how you look at it, what angle you
come from.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
If it's your fault, it's your fault.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Right. And there's what we call proximate cause. And then
there's the button four cause, which is a legal thing.
Proximate is you lit the fire, you started it. The
butt four comes in and this is a legal argument.
You can google it, folks, But four means but for
the fact there was dry brush, but for the fact
there was no water, but for the fact that we
didn't have enough firefighters, but for these facts, and so
(20:18):
both of these legal tests come into play. Google this stuff.
Folks don't listen to me. I'm just a carpenter. What
the heck do I know? How could I possibly know
these things? But I will tell you need to do
your own research, and you folks do. And these politicians
who were allegedly there to serve you, they're always going
to struggle because they're they're conflicted. They have to choose
(20:41):
between serving two different masters. And scripture tells us you
can't serve two gods. Practically, you can only serve one master. Well,
and one thing about Mega, I will tell you it
is we the people. It is us dirty unwashed carpenter's plumbers.
We're supporting a guess.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Yeah, that's why they hate maggots so much.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Right, who does Adam Schiff serve? Does he serve the people?
He serves all twelve blue hairs over there? Oh and
Big Pharma and Maga make America great again? Good? Right?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
It's just I think it's it's just so funny that
the way they try to spin these things, and it's
just sickny man, you know, and watching these you know,
confirmation hearings and and just listen to these senators talking,
you know, to some of the candidates, and it's just
it's it's it's super super bad, and.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I'm sick and tired of it. You know, Frank, how
many people.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Heard of Saul Saul Lensky Rules for Radicals? That was, Yeah,
the playbook that got Obama in the game. It was, Yeah,
this goes back to the sixties when the weather underground
and they were bombing buildings. This goes back way back. Uh.
And in that playbook, one of the key points was
the Cloward Pivens strategy. And that sounds really fancy, but
(22:05):
in a nutshell, what it basically means is put five
hundred ticks on a dog and watch the dog get anemic.
And once the dog is almost dead, then you can
clean him up and you can bend him to your will.
And that's the whole strategy. Anytime you can overwhelm a system,
you can break it down. Once you break it down,
it becomes weakened. You can then capitalize on it, move
(22:27):
in and take control of it. But unfortunately, you are
going to need to learn this the hard way, and
you are learning it the hard way. And it breaks
my heart because I tried my tail off. So did you, Jody,
to keep this from happening. Yeah, but you shoved it forward.
You made it happen. And in order for us to
fix this, you need to feel the iron be hot. Well,
(22:50):
you need to learn.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Here's what's happening now with all these DERs and the
woke agenda, especially here in California. You know how they
say California, you know, sets the pace for the nation,
sets the patient and not holding criminals accountable and revolving
you know, the revolving door. Uh, it's it's for for jails, prisons. Uh,
(23:15):
it's just it's it's absolutely insane. Yes, does California lead that, Yes,
they do.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
California.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
California is on the top of every list you want
to be the bottom of, and and on the bottom
of lift of the list of everything you want to
be on the top of the short fact, that's one
hundred percent fact. We all know it, guys. So so
what do we do from here? So what do we
do from here? We have to fight the good fight.
And it's a slow fight. And what I mean by
(23:43):
that is, you know, it's it's any war that's won
is fought in the trenches and and you've got to
win each battle to win the war. So and and
that's what we're doing. We've tooken back, We've taken back
a few seats here in California and lost a couple
here and there. But I think we're on the right track.
(24:04):
And you know, a lot of the politicians and a
lot of you know, organizations kind of stay away from California.
Uh like turning point, turning point in America.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
So, so Frank and I went to America Fest back
in Arizona, Charlie Kirk and and uh, listen to all
the speakers, and President Trump was there, and and uh,
it was really great. But what I didn't like to
hear is when they were they were kind of talking
about California, you know, and and basically it's kind of
a lost cause right now. But but but you know,
(24:39):
we know because we live here that it's not a
lost cause. And and we know the fight we're in.
We have to start winning all these you know, battles
to ultimately win the war. And I think the path
we're going down, and unfortunately, with these fires, I think
it's opening everybody's eyes, not just in California, but it's
(25:02):
really shining a light on the dei woke agenda. How
big a failure, How big a failure it is.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Absolutely if you'll notice during the confirmation hearings, did you
notice all the people asking those tough questions, We're all
a bunch of dei hires. The Democrats did not bring
their best and brightest. They brought their most obnoxious. They
brought their most colorful, their loudest, and the people answering
the questions were definitely not DEI hires. They were there
(25:32):
