Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
after four o'clock. Whatever you miss do you pick up
on the podcast version John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It's the same as the radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Last week on Thursday, they had a kents meeting up
in the San Fernando Valley in the Encino area, because
there is a very if you if you're not familiar
with the area, you don't live there, there's a very
large and beautiful park. It's called the Supulita Basin Recreation Area,
(00:41):
and it covers a large swathe of land just north
of the one oh one up to up to Victory Boulevard,
and then again from east to west. It goes from
west of the four oh five to White Oak. It's
a large area and it's got everything. It's got baseball
(01:04):
fields and a golf course and I mean, you name it.
It's like a super sized park. Lots of people go
there and lots of homeless live there, and people are
really fed up with hundreds of homeless people. They think
maybe up to three hundred are living there. But what's
worse is they start seven hundred fires a year, or
(01:31):
at least in the last year and a half, and
it's about one call to the LA Fire Department every day.
And so people went to a meeting and I imagine
it was pretty intense because the fire department Deputy Chief
Jamie Moore said, I want to bring some calmness to
(01:52):
the room.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I can feel the tension all the way up here.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well, when you have a place that's meant for families
and children where people are posted to picnic and play
ball and enjoy themselves, and you got three hundred homeless
people starting a fire every day, well yeah, it ought
to be tense. People should be furious. We're going to
talk to Roy and Eraser on now. Let me get
(02:18):
his name right, right and Wasser and he is the
Encino Neighborhood Council president.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Roy, how are you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm doing good. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I think we've had you on before. You seemed familiar.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So tell me what is the state of the suppulvid
basin that that recreation area.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What do you see? What are your friends and neighbors see.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It's not good, it's not good. We're averaging well over
one fire per day on average. They're happening at all
hours of the day, from morning to night time, and
it is with the we have, it's just an increasing
wildfire risk all over the state. But here in the base,
(03:06):
in such a big area, with so many encampments there
and so many homes adjacent to it, were really just
one bad weather day away from having a catastrophic disaster.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And I imagine that city officials have probably gotten thousands
of calls in recent years. There's seven hundred fire reports
right there from the start.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, they're getting reports left and right, emails left and right,
so they are well aware of the problem, isn't This
isn't something new.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How many years has it been going on.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I don't know how long ago it started, but it's
been going on for quite a long time. I know
in twenty nineteen was the last time they had an
actual concerted effort to clean up the basin with removing
the encampments in a short period of time. They did
it in three or four stages, so this well precedes that.
(04:12):
But I couldn't tell you when this problem started. It's
been going on for a very long time, though, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
With all the calls and all the emails and the
public meetings in general, what's the response back from Karen
Bass's administration and the city council members? What did they
say anything or they just ignore everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The city council member for CD four and CD six
really don't say a whole lot. They're leaving it up
to the mayor. The mayor's office is acknowledging the problem
and is making promises about clearing the encampments and doing
something about it. And we see some effort, it's just
(04:55):
coming very slowly.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I saw so one story that said that maybe they
cleaned up one acre.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
They cleaned up one acre. It took him three and
a half weeks to clean up one acre.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Uh, that's a two thousand acre park. It is.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
There's six hundred acres that they estimate which have this
problem with encampments and overgrown brush. And so if you're
going to clean six hundred acres at three and a
half weeks per acre, that's over forty years. But they
promise us it won't take that long for the next
five hundred and ninety nine acres.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's just ridiculous. What are the names of the two council.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
People Ameldapadia and Nythie Ironic. That's sort of the council
members proceiding Kevin.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, Kevin Pi.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Okay, because I noticed in one of the news stories
they contacted Kevin Pidia's office and they had no comment.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Uh, it's a meld I read that. I don't know
where I read it. It's a Meldapidia. Uh. And she
may not have had a common eld Nthea Lamon's office
in CD four. There there's a very small portion of
the basin which is actually in c D four, which
she always reminds us of. But there are a lot
(06:16):
of homes in CD four that are right next to
the basin which would burn down if there was a
massive fire. And so I think she should be a
little bit more involved than she is.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Uh, what would did you go to this community meeting
that I referenced before?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I organized it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, what was your impression of it, because it looked
like I don't know, the Deputy Chief Jamie Moore is
getting a little comfortable because people were so tense I
think is the word he used.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, it was not a friendly cloud people. Everyone who
was there is there because they are upset and there
because they are nervous and scared about about their homes
burning down and losing everything they have, and so it
was not a friendly crowd to say the least.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean, what do you think is going on?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Why the non response from the Bass administration and uh
Emelda Padilla and Nittie Ramen. Does it really seem like
nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I don't think it's a non response. I think it's
an insufficient response. I don't think until recently they have
really taking this problem seriously. In the last few months,
the Ntenor Neighborhood Council and the Antino Property Owners Association
have been having regular meetings with them and really putting
some pressure on them to do something about it. And
(07:50):
I think they're trying to respond, but it's just such
a huge problem that it's difficult, and it would it
would I will say this, It would surely help if
the state or federal government would lend a hand because
at the end of the day, the Supublita Basin is
owned by the federal government and the Army Corps of Engineers,
and if they wanted to, they could have this area
(08:12):
cleared up very quickly. Because they cleared up the Palisades
fire burned area ahead of schedule, and that is many, many,
many times larger than the supublic basin. So there's a
lot of hand lay in the supublica basin, which is
part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So the federal government owns the land, but the city
is supposed to manage it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Well, it's least to the city to parks and rec
it's least to tapping your brothers farms, it's least to
a number of different organizations, and so you know, it's
a there's a lot of fingerpointing going on. The Army
Course says it's not to us, it's up to the
people that are leasing it. The people that are leasing
(08:54):
it says it's not our problem, it's the Army course problem,
or the Army Corps hasn't given us permission to clear it,
and we get a lot of finger pointing, And it
was really disappointing that I couldn't get someone from the
Army Corps to attend our meeting because we had thirteen
people on our panel, but not then.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And so so when the city officials say this, are
they saying that legally they can't touch the problem or
they're just hoping the FEDS do the hard work. Like,
are they pointing fingers just because they don't feel like
doing it or they feel legally they're not allowed to
(09:30):
do it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
It's been both of those in the past. Currently they
are not using that as an excuse, but they I
have been told that if the Army Corps would step up,
it would make a difference, If the National Guard would
lend a hand, it would make a difference because there
is a challenge of resources, both in manpower and funding
(09:56):
to clean this up. So there are are other places
that could have other people that could help if they
wanted to.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Of course, if they attended to this on a on
a week by week basis, this huge problem would not
have built up into something so monstrous, this problem, but
then it gets way out of hand and everybody says
it's too big for us.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah. Yeah, So the real important thing is if and
when this does get cleared up, maintaining it is going
to be about most importance, because if they don't maintain it,
we're going to end up right back where we started,
and that would be the worst case scenario.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
All right, well, listen, roy, uh, we want to help
you out so keep in contact with us because this
shouldn't stand, especially the fire danger. I mean, we're now
in high season and we don't need to see how
to end up like the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, go ahead, Sorry, you know, no, you know I
always The point I make often to our city officials
is that can you imagine if there were some homeless
people living in the Palisades and people kept telling them
there's going to be a wildfire if you don't get
rid of these encampments, and the city had full notice
(11:18):
of this and did nothing, and then the Palisades fire
happened because of the problem that they were warned about.
And that's the exact situation we have here. We've been
told by la FD that this has the highest possibility
of becoming a devastating fire of anywhere in La probably
not on the scale of the Palisade, but this has
a high potential for high damage, high consequences, and they
(11:41):
know it. They've got to do something as fast as
they can, because we're one bad weather day away from
from something catastrophic.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, And Sino Neighborhood Council President Roy and Waser and
your website.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Our website is Encino NC dot org. You can go
there for lots of information about things happening in Encino,
events we have, and you can sign up for our
newsletter where we will let you know about upcoming meetings
like this that you can come and participate in, because
that is one of the best things we can do
to get the city to move is to show up
(12:16):
in large numbers and put the pressure on them.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All right, right, got it, run, Thank you very much.
We'll continue with this.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
We just had on as an amazing phone call and
conversation with Roy and Wasser, the Encino Neighborhood Council president.
And you don't have to live in Encino, you don't
have to use the Subulve Debation recreation area. You could
be living anywhere in la or anywhere in southern California.
(12:51):
And this is exactly what life is like, just the
complete degradation of everything we used to enjoy, everything we
used to take for granted, everything we're entitled to because
of the taxes we paid. The Supulvita Basin is a
two thousand acre recreation area. The land's actually owned by
the federal government. It is leased out to the City
(13:14):
of Los Angeles, and the City of Los Angeles allows
three hundred insane vagrants to live there every day. And
this is not an exaggeration. I've best stressed this is
not hyperbole. Every day they start a fire. Every day.
(13:37):
They have over seven hundred fires in the last year
and a half. There's at least one call to the
LA Fire Department every single day, according to ABC seven.
Fox eleven did a story on this too, and they
went into one of the encampments and one guy says,
(14:01):
one of the vagrants says, some of the fires are
either caused by someone trying to hurt somebody for revenge
or people from the neighborhood. You know how they say, well,
you know they've got to cook their food. We're not
cooking food. They're trying to burn each other alive. You
(14:21):
imagine all the petty disagreements and fights they have. According
to the reporter Matthew Seedorf, tents, cars, trash, midshift, houses
in trees are visible from the trails. And our guest,
Roy and Wasser, who's the Ino Neighborhood Council president, told
(14:44):
Channel eleven there are literal booby traps around the encampments
booby traps. In fact, last summer, a firefighter was injured
from an explosion while fighting a wildfire in the basin
near the tents, and was says, they're fishing hooks that
are hanging from the edge of the encampment, and they
(15:07):
fashioned spear like objects out of the branches and cover
them up. If you step on that, you fall in.
It's a big problem. And there's a lot of brushtick
and hide in out there. Oh my god, it's like
this crazy tribe has infested themselves into the Supulvita Basin
recreational area.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I've been there.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Many times when we used to live up in the
hills close to Sherman Oaks. We went there all the
time when the kids were little. And that it's taken
over my homeless people. And this has gone on for years.
Ryan Wasser said, the last time anybody remembers it getting
cleaned out extensively, he was twenty nineteen, so this is
six years.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
John.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I have thought that Governor Newsom said that all of this,
that all these homeless camps need to be cleaned up.
So I don't understand why he's not getting involved in this.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh, maybe he's attending his uh, his task force meeting
on this matter. I mean just the other day he
announced there was another task force to clean up these
kind of encampments.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Right, so you should be calling he should be calling
bass and saying, Okay, this is unacceptable. Let's get let's
get rid of this situation now.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Can you imagine how many calls they've gotten and seeing
a residents are are are on the whole pretty active.
They have a lot to be active about. They've had
probably thousands of calls over the last six years, seven
hundred fires. And there's two idiots council people, one of
(16:41):
them Melda Padilla's misidentified in his story as Kevin, but
it's a Meldapadia. And then and the infamous Nitia Rahman,
who never met a homeless person she wouldn't want to
crawl into a tent with. And so they have these
town meetings, like why do you need town hall meeting?
(17:03):
Just send in law enforcement. I don't care who. I mean,
It's it's like Washington, d C. You know, the locals
are cheering the National Guard. I cheer the National Guard.
I don't care if they bring in the Marines. I
don't care about the Constitution anymore. The Supreme Court said,
nobody has a constitutional right to live in a public place. Nobody,
(17:27):
nobody has a right to sleep in a public place.
That's part of the Constitution as well. They don't have
that protection. So Bess is just asking asking for Trump
to come in. Newsom should come in. But he's he's
all you know, he's a phony, he's a complete fake.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on Demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock, it's the podcast John Cobelt's Show on
demand on the iHeart app and you can listen to
the podcast all weekend, any of our shows all weekend.
All right, We've got Wascheline coming up twice in the
three o'clock hour, and we spent the last half hour,
which you can hear later on if you missed it
(18:14):
on the podcast, talking about this beautiful park in the
San Fernando Valley, the Supulvida Basin Recreation Area. It's two
thousand acres and it's all green and there are lakes
there and there's a golf course and there's ball fields
and picnic areas and you.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Can do anything.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And it runs west of the four or five, south
of Victory, north of the one on one and Caring Pass.
And you know, she's, you know, three years into her
rain is Mayor, She's allowed this place to completely go
to hell. There's three hundred homeless people living there, three hundred.
(18:58):
It's an outdoor mental institution.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And they start fires every day. Can you imagine this?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
She already burned down the Palisades. Now through her neglect,
she's gonna burn down and Sino potentially. Yeah, everybody in
Encino is afraid because the whole park is dry, and
there's three hundred pyromaniac arsonists there and they start fires
(19:26):
on purpose because they're always having feuds and they're angry
at each other and they're trying to get revenge on
each other, and they make booby traps.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It's like a war zone.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You approach them and you could literally fall through a
booby trap underground. Now we have proof, DETR did you
hear about this? We have proof that mer Bass's office
is tracking our show.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh really?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Oh yeah, Y and I Ray and I both got
an email from Bass's communications office and it because yesterday
at the end of the show, I started talking about
this and we promoted that we were going to have
(20:15):
one of the residents on and so they heard that
and we got this email yesterday at about nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
They're working late.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Hello, we heard that you're going to be covering with
su Pulvit of Basin tomorrow and we wanted to share
this with you. Statement from the Mayor's office. Listen to
this and get your barf bag. Mayor Bass is leading
a new approach for the Subulvta Basin to reduce safety
threats of the area. These include addressing challenges that have
(20:51):
been decades in the making. What now here's a tip
to Mayor Bass's with what's it called the communications office.
Much of the media is made up of morons. Much
of the media are brain dead progressives, like everybody on
(21:12):
Passes staff. This stuff may work on them because they'll
just read it verbatim right the news editor at the
TV stations or at the Times, they'll see this and
they'll say, well, Mayor pass released the statement saying and
then they'll just read it knowing it's a pile of crap.
(21:33):
She's full of it. She's lying because that's what they do.
You don't send this to us. Do you think I'm
gonna sit here and go? Do you know Mayor Bass
is leading a new approach to reduce safety threats in
the Subulva debasin, why cheers to Mayor Bass for immediately
jumping on this.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
She's done nothing. She burned the Palisades down. Now she's
gunning for Encino. Listen to that. I mean, that's how
stupid they are. You send this to me.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I've got it here. My email address is on this,
so is Rais. What do you think you're doing? What
do you think you're doing? You have a plan? You've
been there now for two years and almost nine full months.
(22:26):
You're already running for another four years. You didn't know
that there were three hundred homeless people starting a fire
every single freaking day, seven hundred fires in a year
and a half. Did you know about any of them?
Or did that escape your attention? Like the worst fire
conditions in LA history escaped you on January seventh? Or
(22:46):
maybe you've been in a foreign country. What the last
six years since they last cleaned the homelessness? This includes
addressing challenges that have been decades in the making, have
decades making.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
No, it's not that's a complete lie.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I've been living here for what thirty three years now,
and when my boys were small, we used to take
them to this recreation center all the time. There were
no homeless people there, what maybe two, There weren't three hundred,
and there weren't fires every day. Mayor Pass is committed to. Oh, listen,
(23:26):
she will take time. It will take time to address comprehensively,
like the long standing homeless encampments.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It doesn't take time to address that.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Send in the heavy machinery, send in the police, the
sheriff's department. Ask Trump he'll send in the National Guard
and start scooping it up with a payloader. Destroy it all.
The Supreme Court says they have no right. What democracy
(24:00):
we have right? Supreme Court weighs in and said they
don't have any right to live there. Well, I'm going
to be defiant about it. Every person, every person has
the right to burn down a two thousand acre park.
You're not going to push us around. Mayor Pass. Let
me go back to this thing. Is committed to seeing
(24:21):
this effort through. Having been to the basin and speaking
directly with Valley residents and her staff, including her deputy
mayor of public safety, her deputy mayor of public safety.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Would that be the guy.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That was fired and he pleaded guilty to calling in
bomb threats to city hall? Is that who they met with?
What was his name, Brian, Brian Williams. That was the
deputy mayor of public safety, the guy who called in
bomb threats to city hall, and he's going to jail.
(25:02):
Then she goes at the end of July the Mayor's
Inside Safe program. How's more than thirty Angelinos who'd been
living in a shocking and notorious encampment in Van Nights
near the supulvit Abasin. Well, that's not in the supulvit Abasin.
You have three hundred. You have ten times that many
(25:25):
in the supulvit Abasin. Did you said this this to
neutralize the story for us to focus on another angle,
to see the other side. She is a crazy person,
an absolute crazy person. I don't know if I'd burned
(25:46):
down the Palisades and now it was fire season and
I had why did we got forty five thousand homeless
people in the city. I'd be waking up every day
sweating that these crazy people were going to burn down
another set to the city. But no, she sends out
nonsense garbage press releases, and.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
She sends it to me. She sends it to me like.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I'm gonna sit here, not along like all the other
bottleheads in the media in this town.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh well, Karen.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Bass is actually being very proactive. They all have their
heads up their rear ends.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
I think hers she needs to come in studio John
with you and tell all this to your face.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yes, Karen Bass, you are invited to come here and
give us your comprehensive plan with an exact timeline on
when all three hundred mental patients are out of there.
And the timeline should be very very short. So come here.
You can spend a whole afternoon with me. You could
(26:52):
spend the whole week with me. You could be you
could be good.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm always gentle.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You could be the host of the show, and we
could go through the entire supulvit Abasin.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Do We'll do the show from the supulvit abasins. I'll
walk around.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, maybe maybe one of us will fall into one
of the movie traps live on the radio. Good God,
what does wrong with them all? Right, Well, but she
started it. Now, she's the one who opened contact. So
we are going to be on her case because all
(27:31):
we want to do is like Spare and Sino, the
same fate that the Palisades suffered by the way old
brushes hasn't been taken care of either, which is also
what did in the Palisades, because because she and Knwsom,
we're too lazy to make sure the brush was cleared.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
All right, I gotta take a break.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Six coming up after two o'clock. Well, yes, we have
another fire story. The federal government and federal prosecutors are
suing Southern California Edison for the Altadena fire, also known
as the Eaton Fire.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Bill A.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Saley, the US attorney we've had him on many times,
says there's no reason to wait for the results of
the investigations. There's no other apparent cause for the fire.
Edison's own statements indicate that we'll talk about that because
the real danger to California in terms of wildfires is
(28:33):
not climate change, which knew some lies about.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's the UH, it's the.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Energy companies, it's the power companies who own newsom. They
have shoveled so much money at him he can't see straight.
So he lets them get away, literally with murder. They're
allowed to murder Californians, and they're allowed to burn down
their towns and burn.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
All the all the forests and everything.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
They're allowed to burn whatever they want and kill whoever
they want. So cal Edison and PG and A. Heuston
gives them carte blanche. We'll get into all that. If
you are waiting on mail and you live in Torrance,
the mail that's missing will will never arrive. The US
(29:24):
Postal Service has temporarily closed the post office in that town,
and they have destroyed thousands of pieces of mail and packages.
They did tests and they found that the entire facility
had been contaminated with asbestos. So the Postal Service in
(29:46):
Torrance was mailing you asbestos every day. They have now
moved mail services to other places like Hawthorne and Segundo.
Apparently mail from those two places will not kill you.
A HASMA team responded to the facility the day before
(30:07):
this first started on July twenty sixth. Video showed dozens
of postal workers standing in the parking lot, and they
did tests for three weeks and there was some areas
of building tested positive for his beestos contamination. Four thousand
(30:29):
pieces of mail were contaminated. They don't know how long
the post office is going to remain closed, and there's
no explanation as to how long the asbestos may have
been mailed to you or if you received a letter
from somebody in Torrance, I guess you could have received
(30:51):
mail coded with asbestos in your home, no matter where
you are. It's not the only thing that's been wrong
in Torrents. Boy, I thought our post office was bad,
and it is. Last month, a former Postal Service letter
carrier in Torrance pleaded guilty to stealing credit cards and
checks from the mail and used them to live a
(31:13):
lavish lifestyle that she flunted on Instagram. There you go,
there's your postal workers.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That system should be destroyed. I have no idea why.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, we've got plenty of private carriers now with
FedEx and Amazon and ups. There's no purpose to the
Postal service Now. They send you mail coded with asbestos
and if it doesn't arrive, it's because one of the
postal workers stole your credit cards.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
All right when we come back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
So Cal Edison is being sued by the federal government
for starting the Altadena fire. Yeah, their neck and neck
with Karen Bass over whose fire was worse This one
killed night team destroyed nine thousand homes, and we got
Michael Krozer in for Debor Mark live in the KFI
twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the
(32:07):
John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show
live on KFI Am six forty from one to four
pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
after four o'clock. Whatever you miss do you pick up
on the podcast version John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It's the same as the radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Last week on Thursday, they had a kents meeting up
in the San Fernando Valley in the Encino area, because
there is a very if you if you're not familiar
with the area, you don't live there, there's a very
large and beautiful park. It's called the Supulita Basin Recreation Area,
(00:41):
and it covers a large swathe of land just north
of the one oh one up to up to Victory Boulevard,
and then again from east to west. It goes from
west of the four oh five to White Oak. It's
a large area and it's got everything. It's got baseball
(01:04):
fields and a golf course and I mean, you name it.
It's like a super sized park. Lots of people go
there and lots of homeless live there, and people are
really fed up with hundreds of homeless people. They think
maybe up to three hundred are living there. But what's
worse is they start seven hundred fires a year, or
(01:31):
at least in the last year and a half, and
it's about one call to the LA Fire Department every day.
And so people went to a meeting and I imagine
it was pretty intense because the fire department Deputy Chief
Jamie Moore said, I want to bring some calmness to
(01:52):
the room.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I can feel the tension all the way up here.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well, when you have a place that's meant for families
and children where people are posted to picnic and play
ball and enjoy themselves, and you got three hundred homeless
people starting a fire every day, well yeah, it ought
to be tense. People should be furious. We're going to
talk to Roy and Eraser on now. Let me get
(02:18):
his name right, right and Wasser and he is the
Encino Neighborhood Council president.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Roy, how are you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm doing good. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I think we've had you on before. You seemed familiar.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So tell me what is the state of the suppulvid
basin that that recreation area.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What do you see? What are your friends and neighbors see.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It's not good, it's not good. We're averaging well over
one fire per day on average. They're happening at all
hours of the day, from morning to night time, and
it is with the we have, it's just an increasing
wildfire risk all over the state. But here in the base,
(03:06):
in such a big area, with so many encampments there
and so many homes adjacent to it, were really just
one bad weather day away from having a catastrophic disaster.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And I imagine that city officials have probably gotten thousands
of calls in recent years. There's seven hundred fire reports
right there from the start.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, they're getting reports left and right, emails left and right,
so they are well aware of the problem, isn't This
isn't something new.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How many years has it been going on.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I don't know how long ago it started, but it's
been going on for quite a long time. I know
in twenty nineteen was the last time they had an
actual concerted effort to clean up the basin with removing
the encampments in a short period of time. They did
it in three or four stages, so this well precedes that.
(04:12):
But I couldn't tell you when this problem started. It's
been going on for a very long time, though, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
With all the calls and all the emails and the
public meetings in general, what's the response back from Karen
Bass's administration and the city council members? What did they
say anything or they just ignore everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The city council member for CD four and CD six
really don't say a whole lot. They're leaving it up
to the mayor. The mayor's office is acknowledging the problem
and is making promises about clearing the encampments and doing
something about it. And we see some effort, it's just
(04:55):
coming very slowly.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I saw so one story that said that maybe they
cleaned up one acre.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
They cleaned up one acre. It took him three and
a half weeks to clean up one acre.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Uh, that's a two thousand acre park. It is.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
There's six hundred acres that they estimate which have this
problem with encampments and overgrown brush. And so if you're
going to clean six hundred acres at three and a
half weeks per acre, that's over forty years. But they
promise us it won't take that long for the next
five hundred and ninety nine acres.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's just ridiculous. What are the names of the two council.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
People Ameldapadia and Nythie Ironic. That's sort of the council
members proceiding Kevin.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, Kevin Pi.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Okay, because I noticed in one of the news stories
they contacted Kevin Pidia's office and they had no comment.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Uh, it's a meld I read that. I don't know
where I read it. It's a Meldapidia. Uh. And she
may not have had a common eld Nthea Lamon's office
in CD four. There there's a very small portion of
the basin which is actually in c D four, which
she always reminds us of. But there are a lot
(06:16):
of homes in CD four that are right next to
the basin which would burn down if there was a
massive fire. And so I think she should be a
little bit more involved than she is.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Uh, what would did you go to this community meeting
that I referenced before?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I organized it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well, what was your impression of it, because it looked
like I don't know, the Deputy Chief Jamie Moore is
getting a little comfortable because people were so tense I
think is the word he used.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, it was not a friendly cloud people. Everyone who
was there is there because they are upset and there
because they are nervous and scared about about their homes
burning down and losing everything they have, and so it
was not a friendly crowd to say the least.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean, what do you think is going on?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Why the non response from the Bass administration and uh
Emelda Padilla and Nittie Ramen. Does it really seem like
nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I don't think it's a non response. I think it's
an insufficient response. I don't think until recently they have
really taking this problem seriously. In the last few months,
the Ntenor Neighborhood Council and the Antino Property Owners Association
have been having regular meetings with them and really putting
some pressure on them to do something about it. And
(07:50):
I think they're trying to respond, but it's just such
a huge problem that it's difficult, and it would it
would I will say this, It would surely help if
the state or federal government would lend a hand because
at the end of the day, the Supublita Basin is
owned by the federal government and the Army Corps of Engineers,
and if they wanted to, they could have this area
(08:12):
cleared up very quickly. Because they cleared up the Palisades
fire burned area ahead of schedule, and that is many, many,
many times larger than the supublic basin. So there's a
lot of hand lay in the supublica basin, which is
part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So the federal government owns the land, but the city
is supposed to manage it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Well, it's least to the city to parks and rec
it's least to tapping your brothers farms, it's least to
a number of different organizations, and so you know, it's
a there's a lot of fingerpointing going on. The Army
Course says it's not to us, it's up to the
people that are leasing it. The people that are leasing
(08:54):
it says it's not our problem, it's the Army course problem,
or the Army Corps hasn't given us permission to clear it,
and we get a lot of finger pointing, And it
was really disappointing that I couldn't get someone from the
Army Corps to attend our meeting because we had thirteen
people on our panel, but not then.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And so so when the city officials say this, are
they saying that legally they can't touch the problem or
they're just hoping the FEDS do the hard work. Like,
are they pointing fingers just because they don't feel like
doing it or they feel legally they're not allowed to
(09:30):
do it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
It's been both of those in the past. Currently they
are not using that as an excuse, but they I
have been told that if the Army Corps would step up,
it would make a difference, If the National Guard would
lend a hand, it would make a difference because there
is a challenge of resources, both in manpower and funding
(09:56):
to clean this up. So there are are other places
that could have other people that could help if they
wanted to.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Of course, if they attended to this on a on
a week by week basis, this huge problem would not
have built up into something so monstrous, this problem, but
then it gets way out of hand and everybody says
it's too big for us.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah. Yeah, So the real important thing is if and
when this does get cleared up, maintaining it is going
to be about most importance, because if they don't maintain it,
we're going to end up right back where we started,
and that would be the worst case scenario.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
All right, well, listen, roy, uh, we want to help
you out so keep in contact with us because this
shouldn't stand, especially the fire danger. I mean, we're now
in high season and we don't need to see how
to end up like the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah, go ahead, Sorry, you know, no, you know I
always The point I make often to our city officials
is that can you imagine if there were some homeless
people living in the Palisades and people kept telling them
there's going to be a wildfire if you don't get
rid of these encampments, and the city had full notice
(11:18):
of this and did nothing, and then the Palisades fire
happened because of the problem that they were warned about.
And that's the exact situation we have here. We've been
told by la FD that this has the highest possibility
of becoming a devastating fire of anywhere in La probably
not on the scale of the Palisade, but this has
a high potential for high damage, high consequences, and they
(11:41):
know it. They've got to do something as fast as
they can, because we're one bad weather day away from
from something catastrophic.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, And Sino Neighborhood Council President Roy and Waser and
your website.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Our website is Encino NC dot org. You can go
there for lots of information about things happening in Encino,
events we have, and you can sign up for our
newsletter where we will let you know about upcoming meetings
like this that you can come and participate in, because
that is one of the best things we can do
to get the city to move is to show up
(12:16):
in large numbers and put the pressure on them.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All right, right, got it, run, Thank you very much.
We'll continue with this.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
We just had on as an amazing phone call and
conversation with Roy and Wasser, the Encino Neighborhood Council president.
And you don't have to live in Encino, you don't
have to use the Subulve Debation recreation area. You could
be living anywhere in la or anywhere in southern California.
(12:51):
And this is exactly what life is like, just the
complete degradation of everything we used to enjoy, everything we
used to take for granted, everything we're entitled to because
of the taxes we paid. The Supulvita Basin is a
two thousand acre recreation area. The land's actually owned by
the federal government. It is leased out to the City
(13:14):
of Los Angeles, and the City of Los Angeles allows
three hundred insane vagrants to live there every day. And
this is not an exaggeration. I've best stressed this is
not hyperbole. Every day they start a fire. Every day.
(13:37):
They have over seven hundred fires in the last year
and a half. There's at least one call to the
LA Fire Department every single day, according to ABC seven.
Fox eleven did a story on this too, and they
went into one of the encampments and one guy says,
(14:01):
one of the vagrants says, some of the fires are
either caused by someone trying to hurt somebody for revenge
or people from the neighborhood. You know how they say, well,
you know they've got to cook their food. We're not
cooking food. They're trying to burn each other alive. You
(14:21):
imagine all the petty disagreements and fights they have. According
to the reporter Matthew Seedorf, tents, cars, trash, midshift, houses
in trees are visible from the trails. And our guest,
Roy and Wasser, who's the Ino Neighborhood Council president, told
(14:44):
Channel eleven there are literal booby traps around the encampments
booby traps. In fact, last summer, a firefighter was injured
from an explosion while fighting a wildfire in the basin
near the tents, and was says, they're fishing hooks that
are hanging from the edge of the encampment, and they
(15:07):
fashioned spear like objects out of the branches and cover
them up. If you step on that, you fall in.
It's a big problem. And there's a lot of brushtick
and hide in out there. Oh my god, it's like
this crazy tribe has infested themselves into the Supulvita Basin
recreational area.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I've been there.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Many times when we used to live up in the
hills close to Sherman Oaks. We went there all the
time when the kids were little. And that it's taken
over my homeless people. And this has gone on for years.
Ryan Wasser said, the last time anybody remembers it getting
cleaned out extensively, he was twenty nineteen, so this is
six years.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
John.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I have thought that Governor Newsom said that all of this,
that all these homeless camps need to be cleaned up.
So I don't understand why he's not getting involved in this.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh, maybe he's attending his uh, his task force meeting
on this matter. I mean just the other day he
announced there was another task force to clean up these
kind of encampments.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Right, so you should be calling he should be calling
bass and saying, Okay, this is unacceptable. Let's get let's
get rid of this situation now.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Can you imagine how many calls they've gotten and seeing
a residents are are are on the whole pretty active.
They have a lot to be active about. They've had
probably thousands of calls over the last six years, seven
hundred fires. And there's two idiots council people, one of
(16:41):
them Melda Padilla's misidentified in his story as Kevin, but
it's a Meldapadia. And then and the infamous Nitia Rahman,
who never met a homeless person she wouldn't want to
crawl into a tent with. And so they have these
town meetings, like why do you need town hall meeting?
(17:03):
Just send in law enforcement. I don't care who. I mean,
It's it's like Washington, d C. You know, the locals
are cheering the National Guard. I cheer the National Guard.
I don't care if they bring in the Marines. I
don't care about the Constitution anymore. The Supreme Court said,
nobody has a constitutional right to live in a public place. Nobody,
(17:27):
nobody has a right to sleep in a public place.
That's part of the Constitution as well. They don't have
that protection. So Bess is just asking asking for Trump
to come in. Newsom should come in. But he's he's
all you know, he's a phony, he's a complete fake.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on Demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock, it's the podcast John Cobelt's Show on
demand on the iHeart app and you can listen to
the podcast all weekend, any of our shows all weekend.
All right, We've got Wascheline coming up twice in the
three o'clock hour, and we spent the last half hour,
which you can hear later on if you missed it
(18:14):
on the podcast, talking about this beautiful park in the
San Fernando Valley, the Supulvida Basin Recreation Area. It's two
thousand acres and it's all green and there are lakes
there and there's a golf course and there's ball fields
and picnic areas and you.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Can do anything.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And it runs west of the four or five, south
of Victory, north of the one on one and Caring Pass.
And you know, she's, you know, three years into her
rain is Mayor, She's allowed this place to completely go
to hell. There's three hundred homeless people living there, three hundred.
(18:58):
It's an outdoor mental institution.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And they start fires every day. Can you imagine this?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
She already burned down the Palisades. Now through her neglect,
she's gonna burn down and Sino potentially. Yeah, everybody in
Encino is afraid because the whole park is dry, and
there's three hundred pyromaniac arsonists there and they start fires
(19:26):
on purpose because they're always having feuds and they're angry
at each other and they're trying to get revenge on
each other, and they make booby traps.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
It's like a war zone.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You approach them and you could literally fall through a
booby trap underground. Now we have proof, DETR did you
hear about this? We have proof that mer Bass's office
is tracking our show.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh really?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Oh yeah, Y and I Ray and I both got
an email from Bass's communications office and it because yesterday
at the end of the show, I started talking about
this and we promoted that we were going to have
(20:15):
one of the residents on and so they heard that
and we got this email yesterday at about nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
They're working late.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Hello, we heard that you're going to be covering with
su Pulvit of Basin tomorrow and we wanted to share
this with you. Statement from the Mayor's office. Listen to
this and get your barf bag. Mayor Bass is leading
a new approach for the Subulvta Basin to reduce safety
threats of the area. These include addressing challenges that have
(20:51):
been decades in the making. What now here's a tip
to Mayor Bass's with what's it called the communications office.
Much of the media is made up of morons. Much
of the media are brain dead progressives, like everybody on
(21:12):
Passes staff. This stuff may work on them because they'll
just read it verbatim right the news editor at the
TV stations or at the Times, they'll see this and
they'll say, well, Mayor pass released the statement saying and
then they'll just read it knowing it's a pile of crap.
(21:33):
She's full of it. She's lying because that's what they do.
You don't send this to us. Do you think I'm
gonna sit here and go? Do you know Mayor Bass
is leading a new approach to reduce safety threats in
the Subulva debasin, why cheers to Mayor Bass for immediately
jumping on this.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
She's done nothing. She burned the Palisades down. Now she's
gunning for Encino. Listen to that. I mean, that's how
stupid they are. You send this to me.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I've got it here. My email address is on this,
so is Rais. What do you think you're doing? What
do you think you're doing? You have a plan? You've
been there now for two years and almost nine full months.
(22:26):
You're already running for another four years. You didn't know
that there were three hundred homeless people starting a fire
every single freaking day, seven hundred fires in a year
and a half. Did you know about any of them?
Or did that escape your attention? Like the worst fire
conditions in LA history escaped you on January seventh? Or
(22:46):
maybe you've been in a foreign country. What the last
six years since they last cleaned the homelessness? This includes
addressing challenges that have been decades in the making, have
decades making.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
No, it's not that's a complete lie.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I've been living here for what thirty three years now,
and when my boys were small, we used to take
them to this recreation center all the time. There were
no homeless people there, what maybe two, There weren't three hundred,
and there weren't fires every day. Mayor Pass is committed to. Oh, listen,
(23:26):
she will take time. It will take time to address comprehensively,
like the long standing homeless encampments.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It doesn't take time to address that.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Send in the heavy machinery, send in the police, the
sheriff's department. Ask Trump he'll send in the National Guard
and start scooping it up with a payloader. Destroy it all.
The Supreme Court says they have no right. What democracy
(24:00):
we have right? Supreme Court weighs in and said they
don't have any right to live there. Well, I'm going
to be defiant about it. Every person, every person has
the right to burn down a two thousand acre park.
You're not going to push us around. Mayor Pass. Let
me go back to this thing. Is committed to seeing
(24:21):
this effort through. Having been to the basin and speaking
directly with Valley residents and her staff, including her deputy
mayor of public safety, her deputy mayor of public safety.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Would that be the guy.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That was fired and he pleaded guilty to calling in
bomb threats to city hall? Is that who they met with?
What was his name, Brian, Brian Williams. That was the
deputy mayor of public safety, the guy who called in
bomb threats to city hall, and he's going to jail.
(25:02):
Then she goes at the end of July the Mayor's
Inside Safe program. How's more than thirty Angelinos who'd been
living in a shocking and notorious encampment in Van Nights
near the supulvit Abasin. Well, that's not in the supulvit Abasin.
You have three hundred. You have ten times that many
(25:25):
in the supulvit Abasin. Did you said this this to
neutralize the story for us to focus on another angle,
to see the other side. She is a crazy person,
an absolute crazy person. I don't know if I'd burned
(25:46):
down the Palisades and now it was fire season and
I had why did we got forty five thousand homeless
people in the city. I'd be waking up every day
sweating that these crazy people were going to burn down
another set to the city. But no, she sends out
nonsense garbage press releases, and.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
She sends it to me. She sends it to me like.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I'm gonna sit here, not along like all the other
bottleheads in the media in this town.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh well, Karen.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Bass is actually being very proactive. They all have their
heads up their rear ends.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
I think hers she needs to come in studio John
with you and tell all this to your face.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yes, Karen Bass, you are invited to come here and
give us your comprehensive plan with an exact timeline on
when all three hundred mental patients are out of there.
And the timeline should be very very short. So come here.
You can spend a whole afternoon with me. You could
(26:52):
spend the whole week with me. You could be you
could be good.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm always gentle.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You could be the host of the show, and we
could go through the entire supulvit Abasin.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Do We'll do the show from the supulvit abasins. I'll
walk around.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, maybe maybe one of us will fall into one
of the movie traps live on the radio. Good God,
what does wrong with them all? Right, Well, but she
started it. Now, she's the one who opened contact. So
we are going to be on her case because all
(27:31):
we want to do is like Spare and Sino, the
same fate that the Palisades suffered by the way old
brushes hasn't been taken care of either, which is also
what did in the Palisades, because because she and Knwsom,
we're too lazy to make sure the brush was cleared.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
All right, I gotta take a break.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Six coming up after two o'clock. Well, yes, we have
another fire story. The federal government and federal prosecutors are
suing Southern California Edison for the Altadena fire, also known
as the Eaton Fire.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Bill A.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Saley, the US attorney we've had him on many times,
says there's no reason to wait for the results of
the investigations. There's no other apparent cause for the fire.
Edison's own statements indicate that we'll talk about that because
the real danger to California in terms of wildfires is
(28:33):
not climate change, which knew some lies about.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's the UH, it's the.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Energy companies, it's the power companies who own newsom. They
have shoveled so much money at him he can't see straight.
So he lets them get away, literally with murder. They're
allowed to murder Californians, and they're allowed to burn down
their towns and burn.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
All the all the forests and everything.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
They're allowed to burn whatever they want and kill whoever
they want. So cal Edison and PG and A. Heuston
gives them carte blanche. We'll get into all that. If
you are waiting on mail and you live in Torrance,
the mail that's missing will will never arrive. The US
(29:24):
Postal Service has temporarily closed the post office in that town,
and they have destroyed thousands of pieces of mail and packages.
They did tests and they found that the entire facility
had been contaminated with asbestos. So the Postal Service in
(29:46):
Torrance was mailing you asbestos every day. They have now
moved mail services to other places like Hawthorne and Segundo.
Apparently mail from those two places will not kill you.
A HASMA team responded to the facility the day before
(30:07):
this first started on July twenty sixth. Video showed dozens
of postal workers standing in the parking lot, and they
did tests for three weeks and there was some areas
of building tested positive for his beestos contamination. Four thousand
(30:29):
pieces of mail were contaminated. They don't know how long
the post office is going to remain closed, and there's
no explanation as to how long the asbestos may have
been mailed to you or if you received a letter
from somebody in Torrance, I guess you could have received
(30:51):
mail coded with asbestos in your home, no matter where
you are. It's not the only thing that's been wrong
in Torrents. Boy, I thought our post office was bad,
and it is. Last month, a former Postal Service letter
carrier in Torrance pleaded guilty to stealing credit cards and
checks from the mail and used them to live a
(31:13):
lavish lifestyle that she flunted on Instagram. There you go,
there's your postal workers.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That system should be destroyed. I have no idea why.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, we've got plenty of private carriers now with
FedEx and Amazon and ups. There's no purpose to the
Postal service Now. They send you mail coded with asbestos
and if it doesn't arrive, it's because one of the
postal workers stole your credit cards.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
All right when we come back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
So Cal Edison is being sued by the federal government
for starting the Altadena fire. Yeah, their neck and neck
with Karen Bass over whose fire was worse This one
killed night team destroyed nine thousand homes, and we got
Michael Krozer in for Debor Mark live in the KFI
twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the
