says he's had his.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Most fun ever in his career on air. Ah, that's
too bad. All right, Well, hopefully they'll replace him with
somebody just as good. That's my hope. That's my hope.
All right, Legos, there's a van Go Museum Lego deal
going on. I know a lot of people like Legos.

(01:36):
Man people spend a lot of money on Legos. I
always look at the prices. I don't buy him. I'm
not really the patients put that stuff together, somememer seven
or eight, nine hundred pieces. My daughter knows how to
put that together in her sleep. I can't do it.
But they're very expensive. You know, they're a couple hundred
bucks for a good lego set. From van Go to Lego.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
You can soon create your own lego version of one
of Vincent van goes best known works of art.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
The new Vincent van Goes Sunflower set was released in
a collaboration with Amsterdam's Vango Museum over the weekend. It
has over twenty six hundred pieces and is now available
for purchase online.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
The museum's curate how many pieces.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
The pieces and is now available.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
For hold on how many pieces.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
It has over twenty six hundred pieces and is now
available for purchase online.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Twenty six hundred different pieces you got to put together
and they all be in the same spot, in the
right spot, or else you get.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Hop Yeah, they do need to be in the right spot.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Every one of them. You know, you can't put in
you know, piece A or B until you get A done.
You can't put C until you get you know, B done.
You got to put them all in the right order.
And there's a booklet that comes with it. Were you
into Legos, no, belly, Oh, you don't seem like a
Lego Legos?

Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yeah, especially when they came out with the the like
little dollhouses in the.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh okay, yeah, stereotypical. I guess you weren't into Star
Wars like no, no, I wasn't either. But now there's
a whole aisle. You go to Target and there's an
entire aisle or Walmart dedicated to just Legos people. They're
they're huge, unbelievable, you're you're a Lego guy.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
I built so many Legos. I don't even remember how
that right, But of course my mom my mom tossed
them when I grew up. But yeah, I did the
Star Wars, Harry Potter, I did all of them, but
I just did the old school like thing. But you're
talking about having to put in the right spot. Well,
it suck is when you mess one up and then
it wouldn't You couldn't catch it till twenty steps later.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Were right wrong, And then you got to pull them apart,
and you rip your nails apart pulling them apart. That's
the worst. Did you ever put them together where you
glue them so you know, once you're done it all,
it'll never fall apart, like, keep it together so if
it drops, you won't break. That's right, that's right. The
whole airplane glue and every time you put a piece
in and then it just holds together. Yeah, it's not
a good idea. Yeah, it's a great idea, how about that?

(03:56):
But Krozier and I are old school. We used to
put together like those gray model boats and planes. Oh yeah,
the air models with the airplane glue. Man, you get
really high doing that. Indeed, eight year old, nine year
old woof, I could ahead a good four or five
hanging from my ceiling. Yeah I did too. Yeah, I
had an aircraft carrier I built. That was really proud
of that. I enjoyed that.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
The museum's curator hopes it'll help more people get to
know the painter's work and his story.

Speaker 8 (04:22):
It's known as the last great race on Earth.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
The fifty third annual idd a Rod is underway.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh no, they're still doing the Iditarod. They're still having
dogs pull a sled across Alaska. How about Pete's trying
to shut this down.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Hundreds of dogs and thirty three mushers left from Anchorage,
Alaska this morning. They will travel all the way across Alaska,
which is four times the size of California, more than
eleven hundred miles. So the finish line in Nome it
should take about a week and a half. A big
crowd turned out as usual to see them all.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Get those doggies pulling that sled. Lot of barking. I
can tell that they really want to run.

Speaker 9 (05:00):
They are yapping, and they are so excited to go
that can't They're jumping up and down.

Speaker 10 (05:04):
The minute they start going forward, their tongues hang out
and the smile on their face, and that's what they're
where they want to be.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
This year's race is about one hundred miles longer than usual.
The reason not enough snow on the usual routes, so
the course had to be adjusted.

Speaker 8 (05:18):
It's too bad, not quite as famous, but along similar line.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I love that line. That's great. It's too bad, very
just matter of fact.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Not enough snow on the usual routs, so the course
had to be adjusted.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
That's too bad.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
All right. It's seven days, fourteen hours, eight minutes and
fifty seven seconds.

Speaker 11 (07:36):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Nine hundred and thirty eight mile. Wow, nine hundred and
thirty eight miles. That's a that's a that's moving, you know,
I mean it's a I don't know who has a
week to take out of their life to do this.
I guess take time off work with the helm, big guy,
gets your own dogs, your old sled, and sleep out

(07:58):
in the in the snow for seven days.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
The guy who broke it in twenty twenty one broke
the record that his father set.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh is that right? Yeah, what back in nineteen seventy three? No,
like a couple of years earlier, right, but who oh
I oh, I see okay, all right, but is that
still the does Dallas side.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Dallas CV broke it in twenty twenty one?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, and he has seven days fourteen hours.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yes, his dad broke the record in twenty seventeen. Wow,
only four years earlier.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Man, a family business. The idea to ruck kidding? Nothing
to do up there? Yeah, and it's not a race
you can watch either, you know, you just watch them leave.
They go over them mountain and that's it. Good night.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's over anything that happens once they go over that
little hill.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Right. They might cheat, They might all get into an suv,
you know, pile all the dogs into a van and
race them over the chorus?

Speaker 6 (08:50):
So did you know that the mushers have to have
a maximum of sixteen dogs, but must must start with
at least twelve, and at the finish line mushers must
have at least five dogs pulling the sled.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
So they lose dogs along the way.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Where do the dogs go?

Speaker 5 (09:04):
That's what I want to know.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
They just leave them. I don't they vary him?

Speaker 6 (09:09):
No?

Speaker 5 (09:09):
No, I think they just.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I don't know how do you lose a dog though.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
They said they can drop dogs at checkpoints along the
trail for a number of reasons such as illness, injury,
or lack of motivation.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So you have to have at least five dogs when you.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
Finish, must have at least five dogs. Yeah, I did
not know this. I didn't either, man this I did
a rock. It's seemed more complicated. I didn't know the
dog rule when it comes to it that I did
a rod. All right, Well, there you go. That's does
sound like a family business. And who's getting into it now?
I think Pete is.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Probably pretty close to shutting this down.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I've never heard Pete up there though. I don't think
Peter goes to Alaska to shut anything down. I think
the people in Alaska go no, no, no, no, no,
out out Skik, go back to you know, Santa Anita,
and get out of here.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
They have been on it, by the way, Oh they have, yeah,
and they called them out.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I don't I don't imagine they go up there and
hassle them though. That's not the crew that I think
you hassle with, Pete. I think you're more you know,
staying in LA and getting a guy to stop doing
an ant farm. I think that's what's going on. All right.
We're live on KFI AM six forty. Those eagles are hatching.
I'm watching them right now. We've got two pips. We

(10:21):
got two of these eggs hatching with Shadow and Jackie
up at Big Bear. So go look up. Yeah, some
of the kids people enjoy them.

Speaker 11 (10:29):

AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
All right, Forever twenty one is closing locations. They have
fifty eight stores in California they're closing. They have thirty
two locations in Texas, twenty three in Florida, and then
all the other states. They have two three locations in
New York. They have twenty one. Forever twenty one has
twenty one locations in New York. All of them are

(10:57):
going away, including the big, huge headquarters in downtown Los
Angeles with and there's three hundred and fifty people losing
their jobs at Forever twenty one. I thought that store
was popular. Every time I went in that store with
my wife or daughter, they liked that Forever twenty one.
It was crowded, there was a big one in New York.

(11:18):
I think it's like five stories, and it was crowded
as hell. It was filled with people all the time. Bellie,
were you ever you have Forever twenty one?

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Gom, I honestly did enjoy that story when I was
Forever twenty one.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
But they had they have some really hip you know.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
I thought they had great clothing. Yeah, it always trendy.

Speaker 12 (11:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Angels left the show tonight to go to a Forever
twenty one. She did, she likes. I think they're closing
down their plus size stores as well. Not a lot
of people know this, but Forever twenty one also had
stores for plus size.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, yeah, it was called Forever twenty one. God really
never gets any reaction.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
Well it's rude.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, it's kind of rude, isn't it. Yeah, I mean
somewhat amusing. Forever two twenty one.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Isn't that funny?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
No? No, used to be maybe.

Speaker 4 (12:25):

I love Forever twenty one. I purchase clothing there for
me because I feel like I'm always twenty one. I

(12:49):
look like I'm a little older. I look like I'm
twenty three, twenty four. But I really felt like when
I went into twenty Forever twenty one, my wife enjoyed it,
my my daughter enjoyed that store, and people in there
always see them upbeat, and they always seem to be
happy to work there. And now it's going away. Three
hundred and fifty workers in Los Angeles are They're losing

(13:14):
their jobs. The pantryes closing, everybody's losing their job there.
This is not a good time for this. Forever twenty one.

Speaker 13 (13:22):
Forever twenty one laying off more than three hundred and
fifty workers and shuttering its Los Angeles corporate headquarters. The
layoffs are expected to start on April twenty first.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
How are they going out of business? Every time I
went to that store, they were crowded as hell. There
was always a line to check out at Forever twenty one.

Speaker 13 (13:39):
This comes amid reports of store closures in several states.
The company isn't saying how many locations. It is shutting
down forever twenty one has faced financial difficulties trying to
compete with Chinese online discount retailers Sian and Timu. A
possible sale could be in the works as the company
tries to avoid bankruptcy.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah that Temu did a lot of those stories, said, man,
cheap crap at T Moon? Anybody belly you buy from
T Moon at all? I hate it?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
I yes, my daughter did.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yes? Oh really? And are the good deals? Has it
all come from China?

Speaker 5 (14:16):
I believe so was a good deal? The quality?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Oh no good? Huh falls apart while you wear it?

Speaker 5 (14:26):
It just felt like paper towel T shirt?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Really? Okay, well that's not a good deal at all.
All right. Our buddy Evan got broken into. Guy does
l a at a Minute home robbery? Very sad with
this guy.

Speaker 14 (14:45):
Hey, I just came home from my son's baseball game
tonight to this.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
They broke into the guys.

Speaker 15 (14:54):
A well known LA podcaster and content creator is getting
hundreds of thousands of views. He says his family's home
was broken into and the police response was slow. Evan
loved It's La in a Minute has racked up millions
of views and he talks about the city's history, culture
and now crime. Good evening and thank you for joining us.
I'm Kathy Vara and I'm.

Speaker 16 (15:14):
Jonathan Gonzalez or Amber Freas his Live Now with More
and what Loved says happened and the response from the
LAPD Amber.

Speaker 9 (15:22):
Hey, Jonathan Kathy Evan. Loved is really upset over what happened,
as you may understand, but he's also frustrated, and not
just frustrated because his home was burglarized and the thieves
stole a lot of family heirlooms, but because he says
it took police a very long time to answer his
nine to one one call.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Okay, well that's not true, and he's cleared that up.
They answered the according to LAPD, they answered the phone
in seventy four seconds. But then they ask you is
this an emergency and if you say no, then you're
put on hold and you go into a non emergency Q.
But if somebody was dying, or somebody was shot or
bleeding or a heart attack, then they send people right away.

(16:04):
And the response time is pretty good, you know, considering
everybody wants to defund LAPD all the time, the response
time pretty pretty good if it's an emergency.

Speaker 14 (16:15):
I was on hold for fifty nine minutes before somebody
picked up, which I found very unnerving.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay, that's not true. I think he's cleared this up
that he was not on hold for well, they answered
in seventy four seconds. It sounds like he called and
he was on hold for fifty nine minutes on the
initial call, and that's not true. They picked up. They
picked up at all, right, they picked up seventy four seconds,
and then he was on hold for fifty nine minutes

(16:42):
because there was a non emergency call.

Speaker 14 (16:44):
I was on hold for fifty nine minutes before somebody
picked up, which I found very unnerving in an emergency situation. Luckily,
you know, this wasn't a real time emergency in the
sense that somebody was choking or severely injured.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Right, they would have sent somebody out. If you said, yes,
somebody's choking, somebody's injured, the response time is you know,
four to six minutes then at that point, but I
couldn't help the thing.

Speaker 14 (17:09):
I'm like, what if this was that kind.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Of emergency, then you would have said it's an emergency
and they would have come out.

Speaker 9 (17:15):
And a social media post Evan Lovett shows he called
nine one one at nine oh HBM but didn't get
a response for fifty nine minutes. We asked the LAPD
about it, and they told us they didn't get the
call until ten oh six. We asked the LAPD why
I Love It had to wait so long on hold
to get through to them, but have not heard it
back now, love It says here Ron got home from

(17:37):
his son's little league game around nine pm to find
that his back door was shattered and his safe was missing.
Love It says, irreplaceable. Keepsakes inherit it from late family
members were inside the safe that was stolen.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
You know, whenever a safe is stolen, I always feel
like that's an inside job, like somebody was at the
home and found and told somebody where that safe was.
Because people don't have safes out in the open. They're
hidden in closets or in a garage, or behind a
painting or a wall or carpet. You don't just have
a safe sitting there on the kitchen table some odd

(18:14):
odd love.

Speaker 9 (18:15):
It again sess what's most concerning to him is how
long it took for the LAPD to.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Get his call.

Speaker 14 (18:22):
It's something that I wanted to highlight and kind of
share to people to let him know and hopefully raise
the attention of the people in charge that like, this
is something that should not be tolerated within our community
and within our city.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, well it does sound crozier. I'll give you that.
It does sound like he called nine one one and
then nobody picked up for fifty nine minutes. Based on that, Yeah,
but LAPD disputes that laped said we picked up in
seventy four seconds, and which is a minute in fourteen seconds.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Seems like there should be some recording of that.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
There should be. Yeah, absolutely, one hundred percent. Yeah, I
like to hear that.

Speaker 11 (19:00):
Litening to Tim Conway Junior on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
We have an update and Sam Brendandino, we had snow
and there's more snow on the way for a Big Bear, Lake, Arrowhead, Arrowbear,
Big Arrow, the whole, all those little communities up there,
Running Springs, Blue Jay, all those little tiny, beautiful communities
up there. Late snow, late snow, late February, early March.

(19:28):
But you're getting snow. That's a cool deal. Gotta get
more of it.

Speaker 16 (19:32):
We're skiing, so we're seeing some snow and some rain
tampering off right now in the Max Doppler. Some of
the winds experiencing that as well, even though we'll continue
to see some wind gusts throughout the afternoon. That's ahead
of our next major storm system that arrives between Tuesday
night and Thursday.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
The more storm condition.

Speaker 16 (19:51):
Of fifty degrees. It is chilly out there when you
step outside the door. The Almanac saw high yesterday of
sixty three degrees. Sixty nine is the high.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
So we are still here's what we're going to get.
So Wednesday is going to be big rain starting at
noon on Wednesday, lunchtime noon on Wednesday till about seven pm.
Rain on Wednesday, Thursday one pm to four pm Wednesday,
and then we take a couple of days off and

(20:21):
then we have rain on Monday of next week, Tuesday
and Wednesday. So we do have some rain coming in,
you know, and we got five of the next ten
days are going to have some rain. Now let's take
a look at Big Bear and see how much precipitation
they'll be getting in their ten day So we have
Wednesday thirty five percent chance up of the mountains. Thursday

(20:44):
thirty five percent chance and then nothing until next week.
But it is getting cold up there. It's the high
today or the low today was twenty one degrees the
high of thirty six, So chilly, chilly up in the mountains,
and it's not going to get above I think they're
in the thirties almost every day for the next ten days,

(21:06):
except for Tomorrow and Wednesday in the high forties. All right.
To get back to the weather, people like weather.

Speaker 16 (21:12):
Is the high so we are still continuing to be
below normal, and there still is a winter weather advisory.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
How about that winter weather advisory?

Speaker 16 (21:20):
And there still is a winter weather advisory in the
areas highlighted here portions of the La County Mountains and
also the mountains of the Inland Empire.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Through the four o'clock hour.

Speaker 16 (21:30):
We're looking at additional snow, but those gusty winds still
very much a factor, as those snow levels have dropped
to roughly the three thousand foot elevation level outside of
the Grapevine. Now high wind warnings and wind advisories continuing
through early Tuesday. Warning that's ahead of that next major
storm system that arrives, especially in some northern areas Tuesday

(21:53):
night and as you can see, we put our future
wind forecast in motion. Those gusty winds expected to pick
up once again on Tuesday and then gradually drop off,
especially Thursday into Friday. But highs today still below normal.
Sixty four in Santa Monica.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Wow. Cold in Santa Monica high sixty.

Speaker 16 (22:10):
Four, sixty four and you know sixty three in Ontario.
You're seventy forecast across.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
The LA area.

Speaker 16 (22:16):
That wind advisory, of course, continuing through early Tuesday morning.
Look for high today of sixty three degrees.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, the low's forties, the highs and the sixties for
the next ten days. It's going to be cold and
rain five of the next ten days in most of
the areas of southern California. So be prepared, be aware.
If you're in a burn scar area, you've got to
be careful. It's going to be a long couple of

(22:44):
weeks until we get into summer for people in the
burn scar area. All we're live, we'll come back. A
flight had to be diverted because of turbulence, very rare,
very rare. You get a flight landing in another city
because of turbulence, it must have been brutal.

Speaker 11 (23:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I just created an AI song I want to play
for you here. I stole the lyrics from a song
called the Star Spangled Banner, and I said, hey, can
you create a song out of this that's different from
the actual song star Spangled Banner National Anthem? And the
lady said, can do so? I put the lyrics in

(23:33):
and let's hear what the new AI version of the
Star Spangled Banner sounds like. Here we go thig dog
with this.

Speaker 17 (23:40):
Lady say, can you see by the dawn's early light?
What's so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Who's broad stripes and bright stars? Through the perilous fight
over the ramparts we watched were so gallantly Yeah, streaming
and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star Spangled banner yet?

Speaker 16 (23:59):
Wave?

Speaker 17 (23:59):
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of
the brave.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I think it has a little ways to go. Little
ways It's get an update on the Pope. The Pope
is not well, suffering two episodes of respiratory failure, and
a lot of people are worried that the Pope is
in grim shape. So pray for the pope.

Speaker 12 (24:21):
Start with Pope Francis back on an oxygen mask after
a new breeding crisis. These are live images from the
hospital in Rome where the Pope is fighting double pneumonia.
The Vatican says today's episodes were caused by a large
build up of mucus in his lungs and bronchial airways. Yesterday,
hundreds of people gathered in Saint Peter's Square to pray

(24:43):
for the Pope's recovery. This all comes after a coughing
episode Friday sparked fears of a new infection. The Pope
has remained alert, oriented and cooperating with medical personnel.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Doctors say days of.

Speaker 12 (24:56):
Stability are needed before they can revise his prognosis, which
right now no remains guarded.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Okay, we'll keep an eye on the Pope's health all week.
That's a big, big story, especially in Italy, the Vatican
and that part of Europe, very very religious part of Europe.
United Airlines, you don't like to hear this. It's pretty rare,
but they had to divert a flight because of violent turbulence.

(25:26):
It's pretty pretty rare, you know. Usually they fly through turbulence,
try to get out of it, somehow fly above it,
below it, around it, and then continue on. But to
be diverted to another airfield is wild. And it had
to be radical, radical turbulence where people who weren't seatbelted
down are hitting the luggage racks back here.

Speaker 18 (25:47):
A United Express flight was forced to make an emergency
landing in Waco, Texas, yesterday after five people were injured
due to severe turbulence. The flight was headed from Springfield, Missouri,
to Houston when it hit rough air. Five people suffered
non life threatening injuries and were taken to the hospital
after landing in Waco. Official say it was actually just

(26:07):
one of three flights that had to be diverted to
Waco because of that turbulence.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh my god, radical radical turbulence over Texas. All right,
LA Fire Department. The big story tomorrow is going to
be Chief Kristin Crawley. Is she going to keep her job? Well,
she have enough votes at the La City Council meeting
tomorrow to retain her job or get her job back.
I should say she needs ten votes to get her
job back. There are five of the council members that

(26:35):
are already clearly in Mayor Bass's corner, so she can't
lose any more. She has to have a clean sweep
of all ten, a pretty impossible task if you ask me.
But then we have LAFD text messages and they show
that the coordination by the former LAFD chief and may

(26:58):
contradict what the mayor and the five city council members
are saying about Chief Crawley. It's getting complicated.

Speaker 10 (27:05):
Text messages now in the hands of seven on your side.
Investigates do raise some serious questions about how much planning
and communication there was between city leaders before the windstorm,
and they do show there was a scramble after the
Palisades fire sparked less than an hour after a column
of smoke started rising from the Palisades at eleven eighteen

(27:25):
am on January seventh, La County Fire Captain Anthony Moroney
text not good to now former La City Fire Chief
Kristin Crowley. Crawley responds no, as the flames rapidly spread.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
By eleven thirty am.

Speaker 10 (27:43):
Homes were already on fire. According to an analysis of
radio traffic done by the Associated Press, still evacuation orders
had not been issued. At twelve two pm, just five
minutes before an evacuation order was given, Crowley ti fire
officials in neighboring counties. Anything else you can send us,

(28:04):
we will take. Starting to lose homes and people trapped
that day with Mayor Karen bass In, Ghana council member
Marquise Harrisdawson served as acting mayor. Just roughly ninety minutes
before the Palisades Fire started, a high ranking LAFD firefighter
Tex Crowley Harristausin Council President office, reached.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Out this morning about the weather event.

Speaker 10 (28:29):
I briefed him on our deployment in our preparation efforts,
also our needs for additional resources. A few hours later,
as the Palisades Fire was exploding in growth, Crowley said
a text, sing, send me Harristawsen's number please. Ten minutes
after she sends that text, Carol Parks, who leads eli's

(28:51):
emergency Management department, text Crowley saying the Emergency Operations Center
is in need of leadership. Please advise who from your
department can respond to the EOC asap. Crowley responds that
one of her chiefs is on his way in texts
walking down now. A few hours later, at three h
five pm, when the fire is raging, Crowley gets a

(29:13):
text from a name redacted in the records that says
Marquise here, chief at command post, eager to connect. That day,
some Palisades homeowners say they saw the water pressure dip
as both they and firefighters fought.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
To save homes. On the night of the seventh, at seven.

Speaker 10 (29:30):
Twenty two pm, the CEO of LEDWP text Crowley a
map with a pinpoint on Charmel Lane and asks Chief
can we check if we could safely access this point.
We got evacuated before installing a reg station, otherwise we
will run out of water in about two hours. And
then thirty three minutes later she texts Chief Crowley again

(29:53):
saying call me when you have a chance.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
I need to make up. Call me when you have
a chance. Call me when you have a chance.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
Need to make operational decisions on the waterside that will
impact you. What we don't see in these records are
many texts with Mayor Bass. Mayor Bass texted Crowley on
January tenth, asking her when are you available today?

Speaker 1 (30:13):
To follow up in reference to.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
A meeting that's three days after the fire, three days
and again on January twenty second, Bass text he just called,
we'll call back shortly.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Thanks.

Speaker 10 (30:24):
Today, The Mayor's office tells Seven on Your Side investigates
that Chief Crowley was not in text contact with the
mayor or any member of her staff regarding the coming
weather event until after the fires had already broken out.
Before other major weather emergencies, the mayor or, at a minimum,
the mayor's chief of staff has received a direct call
from the fire chief flagging the severity of the situation.

(30:48):
This time, that call never came. The acting mayor was
also not called, but of course at the same time
that weather was in the forecast for several days beforehand,
so it did not blow in to anyone surprise today.
We did also reach out to Laft Harris Sawson's office
and led WP.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
We would have known from them what was.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
The extending communications between all of these offices before the
seventh to prepare for that extreme wind. As of right now,
they've not yet responded. Live in the studio, Kevin Ohs
back ABC seven Night.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Witness New Okay, Tomorrow's gonna be a big day for
former Chief Kristin Crowley. She's going to find out whether
she keeps her job or not. She needs ten of
the council members to vote to reinstate her and get
her job back as the chief. It's gonna be pretty
tough if these techs are circulating in downtown, which I'm
sure they are, so it's going to be a tough day.

(31:42):
We'll have it all live for you. Then at six
o'clock tomorrow night, President Trump is speaking to Congress and
we will carry that live for you tomorrow at six
pm right here on kf I am six forty. Time
for Mo Kelly his O crew coming up next right
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand

(32:03):
on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
