I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Coming up in a few minutes, we'll go through all
the fire news from yesterday and this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Karen Bass late last night.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Released the results of the city's investigation, on top of
the big news yesterday that the FEDS had indicted the arsonist.
Rick Caruso has weighed in and Bass is now angry
at Caruso for telling the truth. All that ahead, now
we have Bill o'rallies coming on. Bill O'Reilly is everywhere.
(00:36):
He's got a video podcast on the Internet, he's on television,
he's on the radio. He has a best selling book
at debuted number one on the New York Times list,
Confronting Evil. And he's going to be on News Nations
town Hall Wednesday, October fifteenth, Pacific time, five to seven o'clock.
It's going to be on News Dation and the CW
(00:58):
and he'll be on Chris quonall host and Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Smith will be a panelist as well. Let's get Bill
O'Reilly on.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Bill. Welcome, John, Thanks for having me in.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
How you been, Oh, I'm good. It's good to have
you on what do you think of California? Because I
spend my whole time on the radio just describing how
the place is collapsing into pieces.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
What do you think is going on here?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, I've been every county in California we've ever lived there.
Almost got a job offer from San Diego and I
took another job. But I've always wanted to live in
California until about twenty years ago when the politics started
(01:46):
to change from a growth, quality of life situation to
an ideological situation. That's what happened to California. It used
to be the home of Ronald Reagan and entrepreneurs, and
people would go out, we're talented and drive success. It
(02:12):
was a success magnet. I remember early on in my
career being with Tom Snyder. Remember Tom Snyder, Yeah, big anchor,
and he was on k ABC, which I think has
fallen into the Pacific Ocean. You guys are wiping them out.
But I was out there with the Snyder, who was
(02:32):
very kind to me as a young journalist, and I
just said, boy, what a great place to have a
career and to you know, acquly your train and not
just in broadcasting but movies and all that So what
happened was the Ivy Lives got hold of it, and
a whole bunch of immigration came in, some of them
(02:54):
very good, but some of it isolationists, and the combination
then tilted away from common sense into party politics, very
much like New York City. Is the reason that the
LA New York air route is the most traveled air
(03:14):
route in the world because it's a very similar environment.
What happened in New York happened in LA, and then
LA rippled through the rest of your state. So now
what you have is a bunch of people who are
incompetent running the nation's largest state. Now, Karen bass I
don't know the woman, but she cannot run Los Angeles. No,
(03:39):
she is incapable of running it, right. I think you
would agree with that. You're there every day.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh, she's absolutely overwhelmed. She had most days you hear
nothing from her.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
She could run Ghana, probably in Africa, but she cannot
run the nation's largest city because it's a complicated city
with the county and Newsom, who's not a stupid man.
His goals become president, not to be the best governor
(04:09):
that California can have. So my whole career has been.
The reason I've been successful is because I don't have ideology.
I don't do the party stuff. It's to a waste
of time for me. I'm a fact finder and then
I present the facts to people and you can take
them and leave them. Some people believe what they want
(04:30):
to believe. They don't care what O'Reilly says. But it's
been very successful for me because I'm a pretty good analyst.
You know, when we wrote Confronting Evil, we're way ahead
of that story that the book came out September ninth.
The next day, September tenth, Charlie Kirk was assassinated and
(04:52):
talk about evil and it focused. All the interviewers were going,
that is so eerie. You would put the book out
a note one day later you would see this And
I said, the reason that happened, because my books take
a year to write and research, John was because of
the rise. I saw the rise of evil about a
(05:16):
year ago, and I said, I've got to start to
expose this because there are more good people than evil people.
I put the evil percentage about fifteen percent, probably a
little higher in Hollywood. You're up in the twenties there,
but most people are good people, but they looking away.
They're looking away, and when you do that, the incompetent
(05:38):
and the evil and a lot easier for them to
take control.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That leads in my next question, because looking away means
accepting the consequences here, and it's pretty stark. It's not
just people have an ideology of philosophy. They've fallen in
love with the consequences of that ideology is massive homeless
this massive crime, high taxes, high gas prices, high housing costs,
(06:05):
high electricity prices. It makes life much more difficult. Why
doesn't that cause them to change their voting patterns?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Excellent question. So two days after Christmas this year, I
took my twenty one year old son, who's a political
science major, to Yosemite, and then we drove down to Monterey,
where I have a lot of friends, and then we
drove down to LA and I booked a hotel in Westwood,
(06:36):
right adjacent to UCLA, which used to be where I'd
stayed when I was a corisponder for ABC and it
would send me out to Los Angeles to bureau duty.
Stay in Westwood. Westwood was a jewel. Yeah, it's now
a dump. It's shocking. And I mean literally shocking. Do
(06:57):
you go to Westwood no more bruin theater no more
you know, walking around the promenade. I went into the
stores because I was curious. And I went into the
stores and I was talking on emerging, what did deuce
happen here? And they said, we've been overrun by drug
addicts and they set up tents and they and they
(07:19):
mug people and they're all And I said, well, where's
the organized resistance to that? And they looked at me
and they go, if we call nine one one, if
a robbery is underway, cops don't answer, cops don'n't show up,
and the miscreants know it. And even if there's a
(07:40):
cop driving by and happens to caller one of these people,
they're not going to get prosecuted. They'll get kicked right
back out to the street to do the same thing.
And so for some reason, Santa Monica is exactly the
same way.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
They have camp there, right, they have camped there, and
roy quality of life in two jewels of southern California.
And I'm sure there are many many others, but I
saw that. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. And
then I went back to the w Hotel, which is
still decent, and it's not going to manage what's it's
(08:18):
must be killing your business. He goes, We're down fifty
percent because people don't want to come here anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, and I don't see the resistance forming at all
to try to change.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
This, because people are living in bubbles now. They got
their cell phones, they got their computers, they got their cars.
They go from the car to the house, to the mall,
and they go and they look away. And as they said,
the only thing that evil needs is for people to
look away and to vote for people that don't know.
You know, the party says this politically correct, that woke this.
(08:54):
So yeah, I gotta go along with it. If I
want to get a job at Warner Brothers, I got
to do this. I'm afraid that if I say anything
in Burbank at Disney Headquarters have fire me. All of
that's in play now and I don't really know how
long it's going to take to clean it up.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Do you see a way out? Do you see anything
that would ignite some kind of rebellion from the people.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Economic deprivation is always the way out unless hope it
doesn't happen to America. As you know, of a fairly
good relationship with President Trump, who's demonies that in California's
approval rating out in your state's thirty eight percent, because
you know, it's it's almost a collective loathing of him.
(09:41):
And you know, if you want to get invited to
the parties, you got to hate him. Logan, I hate
Trump party night, Okay, I'll come that kind of thing,
and I want economic deprivation. But that's you know, if
the fire isn't going to shake up, if the crime
isn't going to shake up, if the massive immigration isn't
(10:02):
going to shake you up, and I'm talking to the
voters now listening to KFI, then I don't know what
is going to shake you up. Somebody breaking into your
house with a bazooka. I mean, I don't know what
it's going to take.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Now, you've got a big event that you're going to
be a part of on Newsation and they're also on
the CW network. It's going to be Wednesday, October fifteenth
at the Kennedy Senator, Washington, d C, hosted by Chris Cuomo,
a live town Hall with you, Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Smith and other big names. What's this all about?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay? I came up with a concept called Three Americans,
It Smith, Cuomo and Me and we do shows that
are fun, but obviously it is three high profilo guys
with different points of view on the country and on life,
and we get out there and we kick it around.
But in DC, we have rented at the Kennedy Center.
(10:57):
That's where this live show is going to be on
Wednesday night of next week. This coming Wednesday, it's gonna
be at five West Coast time. They'll reracket for prime time.
I'm sure on News Nation and c W is gonna
carry it. I guess the monster car races are going
to be delayed on CW for a day. Uh, and
(11:21):
then it's gonna be carried on serious. It's gonna be huge.
We're gonna have very famous people. I mean, they're still
working on the list now, come on in. I know
Bobby Kennedy Junior is set to be there, but the
biggest names in politics, and we're gonna grill them and
they'll grill each other. And this is an example. And
(11:44):
I don't know whether you remember John about what John
Stewart and I used to do. Oh yeah, we made
it fun.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah you went on tour with him, Dan, Well.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
We did a number of shows, big, big shows, and
Stuart doesn't do that anymore. You know, I'm mocking him
on email. I mean, what's the metter with you? Because
he's into that Trump is the devil thing. But we're
gonna get a lot of information, good information out two folks.
(12:16):
But we're gonna have a good time doing it. And
if Colon doesn't show up, I'm gonna bring a hood.
I'm gonna hood him like a falcon if I have to.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
All right, that's gonna be Wednesday the fifteenth at the
Kennedy Center, live on News Nation and the CW from
five to seven our time, and they'll probably rerunt it
in prime time out here. And Bill, it took a
long time, but I'm really thrilled to have you on
the show.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I've always admired you.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Don anytime you need us, and I want to just
remind people at Confronting Evil number one on the Times list,
it's well worth your time. So I hope people check
it out. And if you ever need me, just ring
me on up and we'll do it. Again.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I'd love to have you on again, Bill Riley, Thank you, Ojay,
John appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
All right, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Rest of the hour. We're going to talk about the fire.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So much news came out yesterday and then last night
when Karen Bass the city released an investigative report. But
I Rick Caruso has gone public with a statement and
now I got to see if I can find it
because it was on Facebook and now I've got to
refresh it. And Karen Bass already had a response to it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
She's upset. Do you have that audio? By the way,
I have.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Karen Bass's audio.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, let me if you could queue that up. I
want to read Rick Caruso's statement. And I don't know
if he's running from mayor. I hope he does. It
seems like he's headed that way. But here's how he
reacted to yesterday's news. They found the arsonist and then
that report came out, and the LA Fire Department that night,
(14:00):
day and night and in general is in chaos, in
chaos because of Bass and Kristan Crowley. So Rick wrote
on social media today, this is a tragic day for
Los Angeles, and my heart goes out to all the
families who experienced so much devastation in January and now
are being forced to grapple with all of those emotions again.
(14:21):
As the US Attorney said, evil people will do evil things.
This was an evil act and the individual identified must
be held accountable for his reckless and malicious actions to
the fullest extent of the law. What makes today even
harder is that everything we feared about this disaster being
preventable turned out to be one hundred percent true. There
(14:43):
was a failure of government on an epic level, starting
with Mayor Bass. Her and the city's incompetence, mismanagement, and
failure to plan, prepare and pre deployed directly led to
people dying, thousands of lives being upended and put on
full dis play the consequences of ineffective and incapable leadership.
(15:04):
I commend the tireless work of federal authorities who led
the investigation, but we can't let today's news distract us
from how the city failed the people of Los Angeles.
There must be real accountability for these failures. Now you
want to play Karen Bass's response.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yes, Okay, So Karen bass is responding, and this is
what she says. I just was saddened by it, honestly,
because I think that that response was beneath him. And
this is what she also said. I feel like it's
exploiting tragedy, it's exploiting grief.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's beneath him. It's exploiting tragedy and exploiting grief. Yes,
are you serious. He's describing exactly what happened. There was
no plan, there was no preparation, there was no pre deployment,
there was no execution. Nothing was effectively done to prevent
(16:01):
the fire from spreading. They actually could have kept it
from ever happening had a fire crew been monitoring the
original site. And the execution after the fire started and
spread was terrible. There was no water in the reservoirs,
(16:22):
there were no fire hydrants or few fire hydrants that
were working. The power lines were never shut off. The
firefighters weren't deployed, they were sent home. The fire trucks
weren't all available, they were busted. It's a massive failure.
Everybody should be saying what Rick Crusoe said. Everybody in office,
(16:46):
on every level should say this. This is the truth.
This is what happened. It didn't have to be this way.
This is the worst tragedy La has ever gone through.
And she's still trying to manipulate people's emotions. Oh, it's
beneath him. He's exploiting tragedy. You know who says that.
(17:08):
I noticed that word you're exploiting tragedy always comes from
the people responsible for the tragedy because they refuse to
accept their failure. We're going to talk about that arsonists
the suspect. We're going to talk about the investigation investigative
(17:31):
report from the city, not just the federal report yesterday,
but the city report because they finally released it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
When we come back.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. And that's the podcast version for
what you missed, and if you're just joining us now,
I hate to tell you this. He missed a lot.
We had Arnold Schwarzinger on for half an hour. He
is saying no on Prop fifty and Arnold is going
to guest host at least an hour of the show.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
And he wants to be John's sidekick as well. Does
he do news?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No, I think you're going to be his sidekick at
least for an hour. Yeah, he didn't say sidekick. He
said apprentice.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Oh yeah, but I thought he didn't. He know he's
the word sidekick.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
But he says he wants, yeah, apprentice. He said, he'll
be my apprentice. He'll get your coffee.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I am going to be gone.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
For a little bit because a lot of listeners signed
up for that trip to Iceland that we were promoting
early in the year, and the trip is coming up
very shortly. So while I'm gone, you'll hear the likes
of Mark Thompson and lou Penrose, and I think even
Tim Conway is going to fill in a day, and
Carl Demayo and maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger for an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He agreed to.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
So listen to Arnold Schwarzenegger first half hour of our
show today. We just had Bill O'Reilly on about a
half an hour ago as well, because he's got a
TV special and a book that's already out. So there's
a lot going on here. And then last night you know,
in the morning, the FEDS had their press conference Bill
a Sale, the US Attorney, and they got the guy
(19:10):
who started the fire, and it is just an old
fashioned arsonist, just a crazy, crazy guy who got turned
on by fires. Jonathan rinderdeckt okay, So he's locked up
for the moment. But last night Karen Bass announced that
(19:32):
they're releasing their investigation, which they had held on to
until the Feds were finished releasing theirs. And what I
remember after it was clear that Bass and Kristin Crowley
and Janice Qinonias had botched badly the preparation and they
(19:54):
had botched the response to the fire. What did their
lackeys say? What were the talking point? Oh, well, if
we had water in the reservoir, it wouldn't have made
a difference. Well, if we had more firefighters deployed, it
wouldn't have made a difference. Well, if the fireman had
been there earlier, it No, it all would have made
a difference. And now they're coming around to admitting it,
(20:15):
even Bass in a backhanded way, because last night she
announced that LA firefighters will remain on duty for an
additional shift during red flag weather warnings mandatory protocol instituted
after Kristin Crowley failed to pre deploy engines to the
(20:36):
Palisades in advance of the fire.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well, remember people said, well, how did they know what
was going to be there?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
That was the most likely place because the old fire
was still smoldering from January first, which led to the
revelation of another fire department failure. Why in God's name,
with all the warnings, wind warnings, high fired angel warnings,
did they not have a crew monitoring the remnants of
the January first fire fire which was still smoldering thick
(21:10):
vegetation on state land. Gavin Newsom didn't clear all the overgrowth,
all the all the dense brush that he and everyone
else in government preaches about that you have to clear it,
you have to clear it, you have to clear it.
They send inspectors over. They'll find you if you don't
(21:32):
clear it. He didn't clear the brush. It was burning underneath,
the root system was burning underground. And if the fire
department was monitoring that, it was only a week between
the original fire and then the palis States fire was
only a week. They should have been all over that
(21:55):
thing twenty four to seven. They should have been flying
drones or planes, heat sensors. In read, whatever it takes,
they have it. We already paid for it. This is
the after action report, seventy pages, and it affirmed what
The Times had discovered way back in January. A week
(22:15):
after the fire, officials did not pre deploy any engines
to the Pali States despite the warnings. Remember Karen Bass
in Ghana, she had several days of warnings, bad wins,
bad fire. She left the country, Kristin Crowley. As she's
claiming the fire department was under resource, that is true,
(22:38):
according to this report. In preparing for the wins, officials
chose to staff only five of the more than forty
engines available to supplement the regular force. According to the
after action report, the firefighters who returned voluntarily could only
staff three engines. They could have been positioned in the
(22:59):
Palace Saints, which they'd done during previous threatening weather. The
fire Department is now upgrading its preparation for fires, including
moving resources into position earlier, giving every officer advanced access
to briefings, and holding tactical meetings more often. Bass said
in her list of changes, why weren't these in effect
(23:21):
before the fire? Why didn't they always move resources into position.
Why didn't they always give officers advanced access to the briefings?
Why didn't they always hold tactical meetings? Because we had
extreme warnings, we had extreme fire danger warnings from the
Weather Service, extreme high wind warnings. That's the moment to
(23:42):
have all the meetings and briefings. I don't understand how
did this happen? How nobody did their job at all?
And I keep reading in these reports or we didn't
have resources. We didn't have resources. Yes, because Karen Bass
and the La City Council only funded the fire apartment
at a fifty percent rate, and by the way, it's
(24:03):
still funded at close to a fifty percent rate. They
threw in a few extra bucks, but not that much
to change things, you know, I asked Bill O'Reilly this
half hour, Gys Schwartz, and think of this there? Why
do people keep voting these patterns? Are they in such
(24:24):
a headphone earbud, social media screen scrolling bubble that they
really don't know what's going on and they are so
emotionally manipulated to be part of whatever political cult they
think it's necessary for them to be. Maybe for social reasons,
(24:45):
for employment, reasons for family reasons. Everybody feels the need
to keep embracing These people aren't just clowns.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
These are dangerous. Karen bass is dangerous.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
People die, six thousand homes burned, tens of billions in damage.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
She left the country.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Number one job for any elected official, the safety of
the residents, police and fire. Nothing else is number one.
That's number one. She abandoned the city. Kristin Crowley was
(25:27):
overwhelmed and incompetent. And I don't know what to say
about Jennie quinnonas anybody who leaves a one hundred and
seventeen million gallon reservoir empty during the Santa Anna wildfire
season boys at a mental hospital. Really, Yes, this fire
(25:52):
didn't have to happen. They could have had a monitor
guarding that area, monitoring the area where the original fire
was set on January first. Yes, they could have had
more engines and more firefighters up there. Yes, that reservoir
could have been filled months and months earlier. Yes, all
the hydrants should have been repaired. They didn't even know
all those hydrants were broken. It is incompetence, absolute incompetence, stupidity.
(26:21):
They all should be removed from their jobs. Absolutely, everyone
should resign, Crowley was already kicked out. Bass should resign.
Genie Kenonias ought to resign, or they ought to be impeached,
or they ought to be sued something.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I mean, you can't have this.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You cannot have this.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Nobody would survive in any kind of other industry, any
kind of line of work after performing this badly, this tragically,
and now it's been affirmed by her own by her
own investigative report. By her announcing these changes means yeah,
we didn't do it. We didn't have any of this
(27:05):
in place back in January because they're overwhelmed and incompetent.
And then she gets pissed off at Rick Caruso because
he's saying the same thing that she's saying in the
report that the FEDS were saying. She doesn't want to
(27:26):
that's the killer.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
She doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
She cannot stomach the responsibility. She should have been apologizing
to everybody repeatedly and then resign. This is psychopathic behavior.
This is narcissistic and psychopathic. When we come back, we're
gonna play a clip at Gavin Newsom explaining the cause
(27:52):
of the fireback on January eighth, standing in front of
some burning homes.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now that we found out what.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
The cause was from the fed's investigation, we'll compare.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
It to Gavin Newsom's theory. That's next.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Back in January eighth, Gavin Newsom went on television. He's
standing in front of the homes in flames in the
Palisades grand standing. He knew what caused the fire. Now
we found out yesterday it was Jonathan Rendernet connect and
Jonathan render Connect took a lighter up into the Palisades
(28:35):
Hills and he started the fire martialist. He was a firebug,
loved it. Had chet gpt drawings of forest burning and
people watching in horror. He listened to French rap song
that the video was all sorts of fire imagery.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
This was his thing, This is what got him excited.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
He even called nine one one, and people ask me
why would he call nine one one? Because he wants
to see the excitement. That's his work. He wants the
police to come. Often the guy who set the fire
is standing in the crowd watching the fire. Part of
a whole weird complex psychological sickness. Who knows where it
(29:25):
comes from. But back on January eighth, Gavin Newsom had
another theory.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Let's play this.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
This is an omalous even you know, I remember Paradise
happened in November. I mean, so there's no fire season
in California and it's year round. But to have this
level the acuity of fires without president, These wins are
without president, and the challenges these winds are going to
continue on and off a little bit less intense. Last
night he had eighty ninety mile hour wins. These guys
(29:52):
were just up there to try to mitigate the emverse
going two miles and get him just to go a
quarter mile to side of say.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Some what is the situation with the wall?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Obviously in the Palasage ran out last night and the
hydrants I was turned the firefighter on this block they
left because there was no water in the hydrants here.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
The local folks are trying to figure that out. I mean,
just when you have a system, it's not dissimilar to
what we've seen in other extraordinarily large scale fires, whether
it be pipe electricity or whether it just be the
complete overwhelm of the system. I mean, those hydrants are
typical for two or three fires. Maybe one fire, you
have something at this scale, but again, and that's going
to be determined by the local authorities.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
So he was saying it was climate change. The winds
were blowing. This never happened before. That's false. I found
newspaper clippings go back and going back to the nineteen
thirties winds in the eighty ninety one hundred mile an
hour range. Wasn't climate change. It was Jonathan renderconnect with
a lighter. It was a Los Angeles fire department under
(30:52):
Kristin Crowley and Karen Bass drawing yourself in Ghana. They
did not oversee the hotspot, so the fire was still
smoldering underneath the vegetation was I'm sorry, it was Gavin
Newson's vegetation. That was state land. He didn't have the
(31:12):
land cleared. He didn't have the land cleared. Karen Bass
and Kristen Crowley didn't have the fire department monitor the
hotspot in case it flared up again. The winds were
Santa Na winds which hit LA every year, and they
had been that strong a number of times in the
(31:33):
documented past. He's lying. He's lying. That was with Anderson
Cooper of CNN. He's just completely utterly full of it
and render Connect. They found him in Florida. He was
(31:56):
living with his brother in law and sister, and they
called nine one one twice in five months, once after
an argument because rinder Connect threatened to burn the house down.
Now he went there after setting the Palisades fire. They
didn't know that, and so the cause of the fire
(32:20):
was his sickness, his mental illness. I was on September nineteenth.
September twenty fifth, rinder Connect's father was visiting from France,
and the dad called nine one one. He comes from France.
He calls ninety one. Because render Connect made a comment
that he would use a gun on his brother in
(32:41):
law on self defense. Everybody had to move out of
the house. The sister, the brother in law, their two children.
They left rinder Connect. They let him live there. They
left him behind, and they offered to support him. They
offered fifteen thousand dollars in two months to help him move.
They wanted to go back to California. He had a
(33:03):
magazine with a three eighty caliber bullets on him when
he was arrested, but no gun. That's who started the fire.
Somebody tell Gavin Newsom that Somebody tell Gavin Newsom that
Trump ended the Israeli Gozam war today, the Israel Hamas war.
(33:24):
I don't know what Gavin Newsom did today, but Trump
ended the war between Israel and amass all right, more
coming up conways here Next Kruzer is the News live

I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Coming up in a few minutes, we'll go through all
the fire news from yesterday and this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Karen Bass late last night.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Released the results of the city's investigation, on top of
the big news yesterday that the FEDS had indicted the arsonist.
Rick Caruso has weighed in and Bass is now angry
at Caruso for telling the truth. All that ahead, now
we have Bill o'rallies coming on. Bill O'Reilly is everywhere.
(00:36):
He's got a video podcast on the Internet, he's on television,
he's on the radio. He has a best selling book
at debuted number one on the New York Times list,
Confronting Evil. And he's going to be on News Nations
town Hall Wednesday, October fifteenth, Pacific time, five to seven o'clock.
It's going to be on News Dation and the CW
(00:58):
and he'll be on Chris quonall host and Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Smith will be a panelist as well. Let's get Bill
O'Reilly on.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Bill. Welcome, John, Thanks for having me in.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
How you been, Oh, I'm good. It's good to have
you on what do you think of California? Because I
spend my whole time on the radio just describing how
the place is collapsing into pieces.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
What do you think is going on here?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, I've been every county in California we've ever lived there.
Almost got a job offer from San Diego and I
took another job. But I've always wanted to live in
California until about twenty years ago when the politics started
(01:46):
to change from a growth, quality of life situation to
an ideological situation. That's what happened to California. It used
to be the home of Ronald Reagan and entrepreneurs, and
people would go out, we're talented and drive success. It
(02:12):
was a success magnet. I remember early on in my
career being with Tom Snyder. Remember Tom Snyder, Yeah, big anchor,
and he was on k ABC, which I think has
fallen into the Pacific Ocean. You guys are wiping them out.
But I was out there with the Snyder, who was
(02:32):
very kind to me as a young journalist, and I
just said, boy, what a great place to have a
career and to you know, acquly your train and not
just in broadcasting but movies and all that So what
happened was the Ivy Lives got hold of it, and
a whole bunch of immigration came in, some of them
(02:54):
very good, but some of it isolationists, and the combination
then tilted away from common sense into party politics, very
much like New York City. Is the reason that the
LA New York air route is the most traveled air
(03:14):
route in the world because it's a very similar environment.
What happened in New York happened in LA, and then
LA rippled through the rest of your state. So now
what you have is a bunch of people who are
incompetent running the nation's largest state. Now, Karen bass I
don't know the woman, but she cannot run Los Angeles. No,
(03:39):
she is incapable of running it, right. I think you
would agree with that. You're there every day.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh, she's absolutely overwhelmed. She had most days you hear
nothing from her.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
She could run Ghana, probably in Africa, but she cannot
run the nation's largest city because it's a complicated city
with the county and Newsom, who's not a stupid man.
His goals become president, not to be the best governor
(04:09):
that California can have. So my whole career has been.
The reason I've been successful is because I don't have ideology.
I don't do the party stuff. It's to a waste
of time for me. I'm a fact finder and then
I present the facts to people and you can take
them and leave them. Some people believe what they want
(04:30):
to believe. They don't care what O'Reilly says. But it's
been very successful for me because I'm a pretty good analyst.
You know, when we wrote Confronting Evil, we're way ahead
of that story that the book came out September ninth.
The next day, September tenth, Charlie Kirk was assassinated and
(04:52):
talk about evil and it focused. All the interviewers were going,
that is so eerie. You would put the book out
a note one day later you would see this And
I said, the reason that happened, because my books take
a year to write and research, John was because of
the rise. I saw the rise of evil about a
(05:16):
year ago, and I said, I've got to start to
expose this because there are more good people than evil people.
I put the evil percentage about fifteen percent, probably a
little higher in Hollywood. You're up in the twenties there,
but most people are good people, but they looking away.
They're looking away, and when you do that, the incompetent
(05:38):
and the evil and a lot easier for them to
take control.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That leads in my next question, because looking away means
accepting the consequences here, and it's pretty stark. It's not
just people have an ideology of philosophy. They've fallen in
love with the consequences of that ideology is massive homeless
this massive crime, high taxes, high gas prices, high housing costs,
(06:05):
high electricity prices. It makes life much more difficult. Why
doesn't that cause them to change their voting patterns?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Excellent question. So two days after Christmas this year, I
took my twenty one year old son, who's a political
science major, to Yosemite, and then we drove down to Monterey,
where I have a lot of friends, and then we
drove down to LA and I booked a hotel in Westwood,
(06:36):
right adjacent to UCLA, which used to be where I'd
stayed when I was a corisponder for ABC and it
would send me out to Los Angeles to bureau duty.
Stay in Westwood. Westwood was a jewel. Yeah, it's now
a dump. It's shocking. And I mean literally shocking. Do
(06:57):
you go to Westwood no more bruin theater no more
you know, walking around the promenade. I went into the
stores because I was curious. And I went into the
stores and I was talking on emerging, what did deuce
happen here? And they said, we've been overrun by drug
addicts and they set up tents and they and they
(07:19):
mug people and they're all And I said, well, where's
the organized resistance to that? And they looked at me
and they go, if we call nine one one, if
a robbery is underway, cops don't answer, cops don'n't show up,
and the miscreants know it. And even if there's a
(07:40):
cop driving by and happens to caller one of these people,
they're not going to get prosecuted. They'll get kicked right
back out to the street to do the same thing.
And so for some reason, Santa Monica is exactly the
same way.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
They have camp there, right, they have camped there, and
roy quality of life in two jewels of southern California.
And I'm sure there are many many others, but I
saw that. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. And
then I went back to the w Hotel, which is
still decent, and it's not going to manage what's it's
(08:18):
must be killing your business. He goes, We're down fifty
percent because people don't want to come here anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, and I don't see the resistance forming at all
to try to change.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
This, because people are living in bubbles now. They got
their cell phones, they got their computers, they got their cars.
They go from the car to the house, to the mall,
and they go and they look away. And as they said,
the only thing that evil needs is for people to
look away and to vote for people that don't know.
You know, the party says this politically correct, that woke this.
(08:54):
So yeah, I gotta go along with it. If I
want to get a job at Warner Brothers, I got
to do this. I'm afraid that if I say anything
in Burbank at Disney Headquarters have fire me. All of
that's in play now and I don't really know how
long it's going to take to clean it up.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Do you see a way out? Do you see anything
that would ignite some kind of rebellion from the people.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Economic deprivation is always the way out unless hope it
doesn't happen to America. As you know, of a fairly
good relationship with President Trump, who's demonies that in California's
approval rating out in your state's thirty eight percent, because
you know, it's it's almost a collective loathing of him.
(09:41):
And you know, if you want to get invited to
the parties, you got to hate him. Logan, I hate
Trump party night, Okay, I'll come that kind of thing,
and I want economic deprivation. But that's you know, if
the fire isn't going to shake up, if the crime
isn't going to shake up, if the massive immigration isn't
(10:02):
going to shake you up, and I'm talking to the
voters now listening to KFI, then I don't know what
is going to shake you up. Somebody breaking into your
house with a bazooka. I mean, I don't know what
it's going to take.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Now, you've got a big event that you're going to
be a part of on Newsation and they're also on
the CW network. It's going to be Wednesday, October fifteenth
at the Kennedy Senator, Washington, d C, hosted by Chris Cuomo,
a live town Hall with you, Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Smith and other big names. What's this all about?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay? I came up with a concept called Three Americans,
It Smith, Cuomo and Me and we do shows that
are fun, but obviously it is three high profilo guys
with different points of view on the country and on life,
and we get out there and we kick it around.
But in DC, we have rented at the Kennedy Center.
(10:57):
That's where this live show is going to be on
Wednesday night of next week. This coming Wednesday, it's gonna
be at five West Coast time. They'll reracket for prime time.
I'm sure on News Nation and c W is gonna
carry it. I guess the monster car races are going
to be delayed on CW for a day. Uh, and
(11:21):
then it's gonna be carried on serious. It's gonna be huge.
We're gonna have very famous people. I mean, they're still
working on the list now, come on in. I know
Bobby Kennedy Junior is set to be there, but the
biggest names in politics, and we're gonna grill them and
they'll grill each other. And this is an example. And
(11:44):
I don't know whether you remember John about what John
Stewart and I used to do. Oh yeah, we made
it fun.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah you went on tour with him, Dan, Well.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
We did a number of shows, big, big shows, and
Stuart doesn't do that anymore. You know, I'm mocking him
on email. I mean, what's the metter with you? Because
he's into that Trump is the devil thing. But we're
gonna get a lot of information, good information out two folks.
(12:16):
But we're gonna have a good time doing it. And
if Colon doesn't show up, I'm gonna bring a hood.
I'm gonna hood him like a falcon if I have to.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
All right, that's gonna be Wednesday the fifteenth at the
Kennedy Center, live on News Nation and the CW from
five to seven our time, and they'll probably rerunt it
in prime time out here. And Bill, it took a
long time, but I'm really thrilled to have you on
the show.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I've always admired you.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Don anytime you need us, and I want to just
remind people at Confronting Evil number one on the Times list,
it's well worth your time. So I hope people check
it out. And if you ever need me, just ring
me on up and we'll do it. Again.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I'd love to have you on again, Bill Riley, Thank you, Ojay,
John appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
All right, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Rest of the hour. We're going to talk about the fire.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So much news came out yesterday and then last night
when Karen Bass the city released an investigative report. But
I Rick Caruso has gone public with a statement and
now I got to see if I can find it
because it was on Facebook and now I've got to
refresh it. And Karen Bass already had a response to it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
She's upset. Do you have that audio? By the way,
I have.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Karen Bass's audio.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, let me if you could queue that up. I
want to read Rick Caruso's statement. And I don't know
if he's running from mayor. I hope he does. It
seems like he's headed that way. But here's how he
reacted to yesterday's news. They found the arsonist and then
that report came out, and the LA Fire Department that night,
(14:00):
day and night and in general is in chaos, in
chaos because of Bass and Kristan Crowley. So Rick wrote
on social media today, this is a tragic day for
Los Angeles, and my heart goes out to all the
families who experienced so much devastation in January and now
are being forced to grapple with all of those emotions again.
(14:21):
As the US Attorney said, evil people will do evil things.
This was an evil act and the individual identified must
be held accountable for his reckless and malicious actions to
the fullest extent of the law. What makes today even
harder is that everything we feared about this disaster being
preventable turned out to be one hundred percent true. There
(14:43):
was a failure of government on an epic level, starting
with Mayor Bass. Her and the city's incompetence, mismanagement, and
failure to plan, prepare and pre deployed directly led to
people dying, thousands of lives being upended and put on
full dis play the consequences of ineffective and incapable leadership.
(15:04):
I commend the tireless work of federal authorities who led
the investigation, but we can't let today's news distract us
from how the city failed the people of Los Angeles.
There must be real accountability for these failures. Now you
want to play Karen Bass's response.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yes, Okay, So Karen bass is responding, and this is
what she says. I just was saddened by it, honestly,
because I think that that response was beneath him. And
this is what she also said. I feel like it's
exploiting tragedy, it's exploiting grief.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's beneath him. It's exploiting tragedy and exploiting grief. Yes,
are you serious. He's describing exactly what happened. There was
no plan, there was no preparation, there was no pre deployment,
there was no execution. Nothing was effectively done to prevent
(16:01):
the fire from spreading. They actually could have kept it
from ever happening had a fire crew been monitoring the
original site. And the execution after the fire started and
spread was terrible. There was no water in the reservoirs,
(16:22):
there were no fire hydrants or few fire hydrants that
were working. The power lines were never shut off. The
firefighters weren't deployed, they were sent home. The fire trucks
weren't all available, they were busted. It's a massive failure.
Everybody should be saying what Rick Crusoe said. Everybody in office,
(16:46):
on every level should say this. This is the truth.
This is what happened. It didn't have to be this way.
This is the worst tragedy La has ever gone through.
And she's still trying to manipulate people's emotions. Oh, it's
beneath him. He's exploiting tragedy. You know who says that.
(17:08):
I noticed that word you're exploiting tragedy always comes from
the people responsible for the tragedy because they refuse to
accept their failure. We're going to talk about that arsonists
the suspect. We're going to talk about the investigation investigative
(17:31):
report from the city, not just the federal report yesterday,
but the city report because they finally released it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
When we come back.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. And that's the podcast version for
what you missed, and if you're just joining us now,
I hate to tell you this. He missed a lot.
We had Arnold Schwarzinger on for half an hour. He
is saying no on Prop fifty and Arnold is going
to guest host at least an hour of the show.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
And he wants to be John's sidekick as well. Does
he do news?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
No, I think you're going to be his sidekick at
least for an hour. Yeah, he didn't say sidekick. He
said apprentice.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Oh yeah, but I thought he didn't. He know he's
the word sidekick.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
But he says he wants, yeah, apprentice. He said, he'll
be my apprentice. He'll get your coffee.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I am going to be gone.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
For a little bit because a lot of listeners signed
up for that trip to Iceland that we were promoting
early in the year, and the trip is coming up
very shortly. So while I'm gone, you'll hear the likes
of Mark Thompson and lou Penrose, and I think even
Tim Conway is going to fill in a day, and
Carl Demayo and maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger for an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He agreed to.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
So listen to Arnold Schwarzenegger first half hour of our
show today. We just had Bill O'Reilly on about a
half an hour ago as well, because he's got a
TV special and a book that's already out. So there's
a lot going on here. And then last night you know,
in the morning, the FEDS had their press conference Bill
a Sale, the US Attorney, and they got the guy
(19:10):
who started the fire, and it is just an old
fashioned arsonist, just a crazy, crazy guy who got turned
on by fires. Jonathan rinderdeckt okay, So he's locked up
for the moment. But last night Karen Bass announced that
(19:32):
they're releasing their investigation, which they had held on to
until the Feds were finished releasing theirs. And what I
remember after it was clear that Bass and Kristin Crowley
and Janice Qinonias had botched badly the preparation and they
(19:54):
had botched the response to the fire. What did their
lackeys say? What were the talking point? Oh, well, if
we had water in the reservoir, it wouldn't have made
a difference. Well, if we had more firefighters deployed, it
wouldn't have made a difference. Well, if the fireman had
been there earlier, it No, it all would have made
a difference. And now they're coming around to admitting it,
(20:15):
even Bass in a backhanded way, because last night she
announced that LA firefighters will remain on duty for an
additional shift during red flag weather warnings mandatory protocol instituted
after Kristin Crowley failed to pre deploy engines to the
(20:36):
Palisades in advance of the fire.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well, remember people said, well, how did they know what
was going to be there?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
That was the most likely place because the old fire
was still smoldering from January first, which led to the
revelation of another fire department failure. Why in God's name,
with all the warnings, wind warnings, high fired angel warnings,
did they not have a crew monitoring the remnants of
the January first fire fire which was still smoldering thick
(21:10):
vegetation on state land. Gavin Newsom didn't clear all the overgrowth,
all the all the dense brush that he and everyone
else in government preaches about that you have to clear it,
you have to clear it, you have to clear it.
They send inspectors over. They'll find you if you don't
(21:32):
clear it. He didn't clear the brush. It was burning underneath,
the root system was burning underground. And if the fire
department was monitoring that, it was only a week between
the original fire and then the palis States fire was
only a week. They should have been all over that
(21:55):
thing twenty four to seven. They should have been flying
drones or planes, heat sensors. In read, whatever it takes,
they have it. We already paid for it. This is
the after action report, seventy pages, and it affirmed what
The Times had discovered way back in January. A week
(22:15):
after the fire, officials did not pre deploy any engines
to the Pali States despite the warnings. Remember Karen Bass
in Ghana, she had several days of warnings, bad wins,
bad fire. She left the country, Kristin Crowley. As she's
claiming the fire department was under resource, that is true,
(22:38):
according to this report. In preparing for the wins, officials
chose to staff only five of the more than forty
engines available to supplement the regular force. According to the
after action report, the firefighters who returned voluntarily could only
staff three engines. They could have been positioned in the
(22:59):
Palace Saints, which they'd done during previous threatening weather. The
fire Department is now upgrading its preparation for fires, including
moving resources into position earlier, giving every officer advanced access
to briefings, and holding tactical meetings more often. Bass said
in her list of changes, why weren't these in effect
(23:21):
before the fire? Why didn't they always move resources into position.
Why didn't they always give officers advanced access to the briefings?
Why didn't they always hold tactical meetings? Because we had
extreme warnings, we had extreme fire danger warnings from the
Weather Service, extreme high wind warnings. That's the moment to
(23:42):
have all the meetings and briefings. I don't understand how
did this happen? How nobody did their job at all?
And I keep reading in these reports or we didn't
have resources. We didn't have resources. Yes, because Karen Bass
and the La City Council only funded the fire apartment
at a fifty percent rate, and by the way, it's
(24:03):
still funded at close to a fifty percent rate. They
threw in a few extra bucks, but not that much
to change things, you know, I asked Bill O'Reilly this
half hour, Gys Schwartz, and think of this there? Why
do people keep voting these patterns? Are they in such
(24:24):
a headphone earbud, social media screen scrolling bubble that they
really don't know what's going on and they are so
emotionally manipulated to be part of whatever political cult they
think it's necessary for them to be. Maybe for social reasons,
(24:45):
for employment, reasons for family reasons. Everybody feels the need
to keep embracing These people aren't just clowns.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
These are dangerous. Karen bass is dangerous.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
People die, six thousand homes burned, tens of billions in damage.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
She left the country.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Number one job for any elected official, the safety of
the residents, police and fire. Nothing else is number one.
That's number one. She abandoned the city. Kristin Crowley was
(25:27):
overwhelmed and incompetent. And I don't know what to say
about Jennie quinnonas anybody who leaves a one hundred and
seventeen million gallon reservoir empty during the Santa Anna wildfire
season boys at a mental hospital. Really, Yes, this fire
(25:52):
didn't have to happen. They could have had a monitor
guarding that area, monitoring the area where the original fire
was set on January first. Yes, they could have had
more engines and more firefighters up there. Yes, that reservoir
could have been filled months and months earlier. Yes, all
the hydrants should have been repaired. They didn't even know
all those hydrants were broken. It is incompetence, absolute incompetence, stupidity.
(26:21):
They all should be removed from their jobs. Absolutely, everyone
should resign, Crowley was already kicked out. Bass should resign.
Genie Kenonias ought to resign, or they ought to be impeached,
or they ought to be sued something.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I mean, you can't have this.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You cannot have this.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Nobody would survive in any kind of other industry, any
kind of line of work after performing this badly, this tragically,
and now it's been affirmed by her own by her
own investigative report. By her announcing these changes means yeah,
we didn't do it. We didn't have any of this
(27:05):
in place back in January because they're overwhelmed and incompetent.
And then she gets pissed off at Rick Caruso because
he's saying the same thing that she's saying in the
report that the FEDS were saying. She doesn't want to
(27:26):
that's the killer.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
She doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
She cannot stomach the responsibility. She should have been apologizing
to everybody repeatedly and then resign. This is psychopathic behavior.
This is narcissistic and psychopathic. When we come back, we're
gonna play a clip at Gavin Newsom explaining the cause
(27:52):
of the fireback on January eighth, standing in front of
some burning homes.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now that we found out what.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
The cause was from the fed's investigation, we'll compare.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
It to Gavin Newsom's theory. That's next.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Back in January eighth, Gavin Newsom went on television. He's
standing in front of the homes in flames in the
Palisades grand standing. He knew what caused the fire. Now
we found out yesterday it was Jonathan Rendernet connect and
Jonathan render Connect took a lighter up into the Palisades
(28:35):
Hills and he started the fire martialist. He was a firebug,
loved it. Had chet gpt drawings of forest burning and
people watching in horror. He listened to French rap song
that the video was all sorts of fire imagery.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
This was his thing, This is what got him excited.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
He even called nine one one, and people ask me
why would he call nine one one? Because he wants
to see the excitement. That's his work. He wants the
police to come. Often the guy who set the fire
is standing in the crowd watching the fire. Part of
a whole weird complex psychological sickness. Who knows where it
(29:25):
comes from. But back on January eighth, Gavin Newsom had
another theory.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Let's play this.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
This is an omalous even you know, I remember Paradise
happened in November. I mean, so there's no fire season
in California and it's year round. But to have this
level the acuity of fires without president, These wins are
without president, and the challenges these winds are going to
continue on and off a little bit less intense. Last
night he had eighty ninety mile hour wins. These guys
(29:52):
were just up there to try to mitigate the emverse
going two miles and get him just to go a
quarter mile to side of say.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Some what is the situation with the wall?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Obviously in the Palasage ran out last night and the
hydrants I was turned the firefighter on this block they
left because there was no water in the hydrants here.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
The local folks are trying to figure that out. I mean,
just when you have a system, it's not dissimilar to
what we've seen in other extraordinarily large scale fires, whether
it be pipe electricity or whether it just be the
complete overwhelm of the system. I mean, those hydrants are
typical for two or three fires. Maybe one fire, you
have something at this scale, but again, and that's going
to be determined by the local authorities.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
So he was saying it was climate change. The winds
were blowing. This never happened before. That's false. I found
newspaper clippings go back and going back to the nineteen
thirties winds in the eighty ninety one hundred mile an
hour range. Wasn't climate change. It was Jonathan renderconnect with
a lighter. It was a Los Angeles fire department under
(30:52):
Kristin Crowley and Karen Bass drawing yourself in Ghana. They
did not oversee the hotspot, so the fire was still
smoldering underneath the vegetation was I'm sorry, it was Gavin
Newson's vegetation. That was state land. He didn't have the
(31:12):
land cleared. He didn't have the land cleared. Karen Bass
and Kristen Crowley didn't have the fire department monitor the
hotspot in case it flared up again. The winds were
Santa Na winds which hit LA every year, and they
had been that strong a number of times in the
(31:33):
documented past. He's lying. He's lying. That was with Anderson
Cooper of CNN. He's just completely utterly full of it
and render Connect. They found him in Florida. He was
(31:56):
living with his brother in law and sister, and they
called nine one one twice in five months, once after
an argument because rinder Connect threatened to burn the house down.
Now he went there after setting the Palisades fire. They
didn't know that, and so the cause of the fire
(32:20):
was his sickness, his mental illness. I was on September nineteenth.
September twenty fifth, rinder Connect's father was visiting from France,
and the dad called nine one one. He comes from France.
He calls ninety one. Because render Connect made a comment
that he would use a gun on his brother in
(32:41):
law on self defense. Everybody had to move out of
the house. The sister, the brother in law, their two children.
They left rinder Connect. They let him live there. They
left him behind, and they offered to support him. They
offered fifteen thousand dollars in two months to help him move.
They wanted to go back to California. He had a
(33:03):
magazine with a three eighty caliber bullets on him when
he was arrested, but no gun. That's who started the fire.
Somebody tell Gavin Newsom that Somebody tell Gavin Newsom that
Trump ended the Israeli Gozam war today, the Israel Hamas war.
(33:24):
I don't know what Gavin Newsom did today, but Trump
ended the war between Israel and amass all right, more
