Indefinite Daylight Savings Time | Predicting Deadly Cliff Collapses · The Bill Handel Show

  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: K i AM six forty Bill Handle on a Wednesday morning,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: July fifteenth. The war in Iran continues on, and we're
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: certainly going to get more information about that today.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: A debate that's been going on ever since I can remember,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and has probably been going on for decades and decades,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and that has to do with getting rid of standard
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: time and putting us on permanent daylight saving time so
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we don't have to do that twice yearly clock change,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you know, the jump ahead twice, go sideways or fall back.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I've always gotten that confused. In twenty eighteen, we California
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: voters approved Props Seven, which gave the legislature the authority
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to impose you're right year round daylight saving times, not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: which said it will do so, but the legislature could
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: do so, but only if the federal government allows.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: The state to do so. It's sort of a weird one.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The Feds have to give you permission to do it,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and then the states have the ability to change it up.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And now you have sleep scientists, businesses, and surprisingly, or
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: maybe not surprisingly, golf course owners are jumping into the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: fray and for some reason, people paying a lot of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: attention to golf golf course owners debating health risks, economic
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: gains lost tea times. The House, there's a lot lopsided
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: partisan vote voted and approved a measure to make the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: year round daylight saving time the default for most of
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the US.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Beginning next year, which means.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It doesn't actually force it, but if the states don't
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: do it, then by default it goes into daylight saving
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: time permanently. And according to the represent Kat Kamak who
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: put this on the floor, this legislation does exactly what
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Americans been asking Congress to do, not just for years,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: but decades, and end outdated practices of changing our clocks
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: twice a year.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: By the way, that vote was three eight to one seventeen.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: In the Senate, there's a comparison bill. They don't know
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: which way it's going to go. So California and other
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: states the lawmakers could opt out of making daylight savings
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: time permanent, but has to do it before the law
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: takes effect.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a little convoluted there.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And as I said, potential health issues are being talked about.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Impact on sleep businesses, agriculture, all of that, and so
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: which way do you go on this? Well, either way,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: if we go on to a standard time, the fallback
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to standard time means that we're going to and I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: always get this confused, we're going to have shorter days,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: or in the morning it's going to be dark, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it's going to the sun's gonna go down later, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: daylight saving times.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It goes all the way around.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And the big issue for a lot of people kids
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: waking up in the morning when it's pitch black and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: going to school getting on buses where it's still dark.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That's the case now, I said earlier in the promo
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: for this segment. There are a group of people that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: just do not care, don't give a rats, and they
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: happen to be boys and girls. Neil, what would you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Think whether it's the boys or the girls.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: No, I'll tell you the people that don't care us.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: We don't care.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I wake up in the at the crack of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: middle of the night or the crack at the middle
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of the night daytime like night time, well it's obviously daytime,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: but it's still way early and so always dark.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So I don't care.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I like bedding up when it's dark. I don't know why.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know because it used to be that I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: would drive into the station. And since I moved back
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: home and the studio, I built the studio here at
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: my house, which a lot of people do. I'm an
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: hour and a half away from the station. I just
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: go downstairs, lights are on, and walk into the studio.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: For example, I haven't showered in a week and a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: half and the only person I have to worry about,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of course, is Lindsey, who has a real nose problem.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: So that's that works for me.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Areas that don't observe daylight saving times would be able
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to stay on permanent standard time. For example, you know Arizona,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: who I don't move their clocks. They're on just straight
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: standard time. And what is it one state? I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it's in Arizona where right in the middle of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: state it changes. So if you're going to on that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: line and you live on one side of that line,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm talking about on one side of the street,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the street, it's a different time.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And so there's a push to make this universal and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: can the the.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Federal government mandate it?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it can, but the fight continues on
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: health risks. We want to be able to have more daylight.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: We want to be able to have more daylight in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the evening. This is why you've got folks out there
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in the workplace, certainly the golf course world. They want
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to be able to stay. They want to be stay,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: want to be able to stay open longer. And there
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: was a survey that was just done in twenty twenty five,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the ap RC survey I Love surveys the current systems
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: of changing the clock twice a year is hugely unpopular.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Twelve percent favored the current system, forty seven percent were opposed,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and forty percent were neutral. But the big story here
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: is twelve percent said it's a good idea. And in
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the business world there's no consensus. You've got chambers of
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: commerce and businesses want to lure customers later in the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: day and they support it. Agricultural interests and some industries
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: oppose it. And which way do you go on this?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I find it a pain, Neil. Are you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: do you enjoy the switching back and forth?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, no one does. I don't.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is it really screws people up,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: which I don't understand. One hour to me means nothing,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: but for Lindsey it takes for weeks to get over
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that one hour difference and people are affected.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: So I'm fine.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I like day back daylight saving time, especially when you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: have a long, long daylight. If you really like long daylights,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: move the Norway. That's always the best way to do it. Okay,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: now we have this researchers and scientists. We've obviously developed
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: hurricane warnings, that's easy, Tsunami warnings easy. An earthquake early
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: warning system not as easy, but it's still there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: But when it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Comes to predicting cliff collapses along our shoreline, now that
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: gets tricky. But it's pretty serious stuff because every landslide
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and tragic death along the coasts, officials have turned to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: scientists for help, and it looks like it's finally worked.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: There was a pilot study backed by decades of specialized research.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Scientists at U SEE San Diego scripts Institute of Oceanography
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: say they may have finally cracked the code. A report
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: released this month, the team shared a proof of concept
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and found that there are actually remarkably reliable ways to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: detect a landslide a coastal landslide before it happens. The
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: pilot study was able to predict five collapses at least
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: several hours, sometimes even days before they happened.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Adam Young, who is this one I.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Didn't even know existed, a coastal geo morphologist, who the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: hell wakes up and says, hey, I want to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a geomorphologist when I grow up. He's at scripts and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he said, we have a lot of confidence that what
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: we learned could and is applied. And as you can imagine,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: these buff collapses have been really high demand, especially along
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: California Coast PCH, where you go along the Pacific Coast
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Highway and all of a sudden you have a cliff collapsing,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and PCH has taken out for months at a time,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and it's the only way up and down the coast
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: for the most part, high demand.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: And here we have sea level rise, a very strong El.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Nino on its way, and the experts are saying cliffs
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: could erode more than one hundred and thirty feet.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: By the end of the century, and that is a lot.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And consequences of erosion well, they're pretty severe, severe on
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: major roads, railways, critical infrastructure, and they're deadly. At least
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: twenty five people have died in California due to landslides
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in San Diego County. A whole bunch or people are
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: still reeling from a twenty nineteen collapse that killed three
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: women in Incinita's. Similar collapse in San Francisco killed a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: woman who was walking her dog. Don't want it to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: hear dogs by the way, It'll kill you every time.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And so Tasha Berner, a Democrat, said, you know what,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: let's come up with an early warning system. Now, she
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: admitted this is more science fiction than science. But when
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: she weaked out the grips, the scientists said, hmm, let's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: look at that. It's not going to be easy, but
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: we'll give it a try. And coastal cliffs are particularly
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: challenging to study. Why because look at all the variables
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: cliff height, wave action, the type of rock, the slope
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: of the beach, all factor in how rainfall is, sleep
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: seeps into cracks, builds up pressure and leads to collapses.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: And the fact.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: That we want to build either on bluffs overlooking the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: ocean or right at the shoreline, and if you're looking
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: at either of those, that affects erosion. It alters water
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: drainage and adds weight to the cliff. And we're talking
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: about houses on top of the cliffs. That's a lot
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of weight. And the problem is when talking about cliffs,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: scientists speak and averages. Well, this can't be averages. Cliffs
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: tend to crumble very slowly unless they don't and all
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: of a sudden you got a collapse. And if you
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: have a cliff that averages one foot a year of movement,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: maybe nothing happens for twenty years and then boom in
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: one fell swoop comes the collapse. Now Professor Young, who
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: is considered one of the world's leading experts on coastal
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: bluff collapses, didn't know there was experts on coastal.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Coastal collapses bluff collapses.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Well, he spent decades developing sensors that take precise measurements
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: of these earthquakes. And when we talk about sensors, oh,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: here's the technology seismometers we know about that for earthquakes
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: wave pressure sensors. Sensor called a tilt meter. Now, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: thought a tilto meter was a ride one of these carnivals,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: but no, it's a tilt meter which is used to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: measure earthquake faults the movement, but it can also detect
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: how much the ground is tilting forward towards the ocean.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That has an accuracy of one eighth the width of
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a human hair. They've also installed sensors that can detect
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: movement up to one billionth of a meter. And then
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: sort of the more mundane stuff, rain gages advanced laser
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: imaging technology known as light ar that's used in what
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: do you call the self driving cars, and they can
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: predict and they seem to predict, and that is a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: big deal. So April seventh it rained, and again April fourteenth,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it rained. We're talking about this last April April nineteenth,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the tilt sensor measurements were accelerating at a rate that said, okay,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: it looks like a collapsesm eminent according to scientists. So
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: they notified coastal managers. Two days later, five am, more
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: than two hundred tons of cliff goes right onto the beach.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Now it was early in the morning, and thank goodness,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: no one was hurt. So now you have this information,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: what do you do with this information? Well, don't you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: have to reach out to lifeguards, emergency managers, transportation agencies
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: and other officials who are then going to side when
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to close a beach or a road. And as I
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: said earlier, earthquakes getting better. Hurricanes, they're right on top
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: of that, with of course satellites and measuring, with measuring
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: which way storms are going tsunami, same thing, the chance
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of tsunami, but the most the most difficult way is
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: along the coast and measuring those coastal collapse. And if
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you're nuts enough to buy something along the beach for
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the last fourteen million dollars that you spent on a home,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: let's say along the Orange County coast, what do you
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: think that's going to be worth ten years from now
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: when your house is under a foot and a half
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of water. Okay, exactly.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: One of the things about ice, immigration and custom form
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: enforcement is what's going on with the president the president,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: and this is a political issue. The President promised that
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: he would clamp down on immigration, which he has done.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: The President made some sweeping charges about illegal immigrants, which
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: may or may not be true.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, we have a lot of them, and he
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: certainly stopped them from coming into country. And this was
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons that Trump got elected because that
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: was a fairly big thing. Well, immigration issues have gone
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: from a positive to for the administration to a negative
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: for the administration. It's turned around completely and politically that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: is not good news. And what is going on, Well,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the issue right now is the body camera issue. ICE
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: continues to operate mostly without body cameras, even in light
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: of promises to put them on and twenty million dollars
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: in funding, while there's a mounting death toll of people
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: who have been shot and killed and shot also and wounded,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and the issue of civil rights certainly involved. So in
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: less than a week, ICE officers fatally shot a fifty
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: year old a Houston construction worker and a twenty six
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: year old man in Maine. The officers initially said that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the were justified in firing because the men posed a threat.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: In both cases they were targeted for traffic stops by agents,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: but they weren't. They were mistakenly targeted for illegal immigrants. Now,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: in the wake of the deaths, as you can imagine,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of backlash, and the Trump administration ordered
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: yesterday that okay, we're done. We have to limit isis
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: traffic stops. We have to redo this whole thing about
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: how we stop traffic. Tom Homan, the Czar of Immigration,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: said this is only temporary. Oh no, We're still going
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to go after illegal aliens. It's just that these officers
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: need more training, and has promised more of these cameras
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: out there now. These cameras have become synonymous with accountability
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: in modern policing, and they can do one of two things.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: They can uncover a wrongdoing by the officers, which has happened.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: In the case of ICE, I says one thing. Video
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: cameras say the other thing completely. Even bodycams say that
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: what was said is not what was done. And then
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: on the other side of it, when cops are accused
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of wrongdoing, there's the bodycam. Oh you beat me up.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Well no, here's the bodycam. Well you treated me like crap. No,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I was very professional. Here's the bodycam footage. So it
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: goes both ways. So these deaths come five months after
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: ICE issued a policy this February nineteenth mandating the use
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of bodycams during immigration enforcement activities, and god, I love this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: The Department of Homeland Security said that the officers involved
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: in each shooting were not wearing body cameras. Because back
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to back Democrats shutdowns were delaying the rollout of the devices.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Here's the problem they have.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: The rollout meant absolutely nothing, or the shutdown governmental shutdown
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: had nothing to do with these body cams. On the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: way ICE was acting, ICE had more money than it
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: knows what to do with. It's a wash with money.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: It's as it ducks to get money from coming one way,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: is getting hit by money the other way. So that's
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: just absolutely not true. And I love the issue. No
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: matter what goes wrong, it is going to be the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: fault of the Democrats. I guarantee you that's going to
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: be Inflation's coming back. It's the Democrats. It's the Biden
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that did this. It's the Democrats that are trying to
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: destroy America.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you first.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And this was one of a slew of directives and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: statements that came out on Donald Trump's first day of office,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: and I found the most interesting one is that the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: administration put the blame on the killing of the Lindberg
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: baby straight onto the Democrats. The Democrats just do it,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: don't they. By the way, that's a fun topic. The
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Lindberg baby kidnapping. Charles Limberg there's a whole history there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: The problem is that ICE has had the money to
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: put bodycams on every single agent agent, they've had the time,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and they just haven't done it. It's a very slow
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: rollout and it's costing a lot of grief. Why well,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: how about this. Cameras did help, but these were these
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: were not bodycam footage, but these were witnesses.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Because everybody has a phone.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So here what happened July seventh, a week ago, early
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: morning hours, officers tried to pull over Lorenzo Salgatta, a rajo,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: fifty two year old Mexican national legally working here. According
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to ICE, he ignored orders from officers and then quote
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an agent,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and the Asians fired shots and self defense, killing him.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Witnesses in the car said, no, that's not what happened
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: at all. Later on, I said, well, we thought a
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Rujo was someone else when they tried to stop them.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And then six days later, an ICE officer fatally shoots Juan. Yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's Juan Sebastian Guerrero. They saw him exit
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the house of someone else who had been under removal
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: order attempted to pull him over, and once again he
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: weaponized his vehicle.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Well that changed because for the sorry for the cough.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: That changed from weaponizing the vehicle is he attempted to
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: flee when he was tried to be stopped and the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: agent fired at him, killing him because the agent feared
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: for public safety. Not a weaponization, mind you, that's off
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: the table. It is somehow public safety was involved as
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: he was leaving, as he was trying to get away.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: We'll find out. Is their bodycam No there is not.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Is there video? I think there is. Remember Christinome, the
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: then Department of Homeland Security, she promised DHS law enforcement
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: across the country and promise that ICE agents would begin
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: wearing body cameras. This was after the shooting deaths of
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Hernee Good and Alex Pretty. You remember that one killed
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: by ICE in Minneapolis, and DHS officials initially described both
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: of them Good and Pretty as domestic terrorists. Well they
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: dropped that one, didn't they domestic terrorists? Come on, give
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: me a break, all right, A story about a restaurant. Now,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: there are a couple of restaurants in southern California that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: are just iconic restaurants. I remember the Brown Derby, which
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: is no longer around. The brown Derby was originally going
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: to be the Brown Beret, but it turned out that
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the owner had a horrible experience with some bad bree
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: cheese and decided to call it the brown Derby. By
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the way, that's absolutely not true.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Another moment handle history that is correct. So that's gone
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: by the wayside. And Chasin's another big one that is
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: no longer there. Musso and Frank's still there. They've been
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: around since the twenties.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Still fantastic. Yeah, this is a new wine room and.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: You can actually go And this is where I went
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: when I took I think Lindsay for our first date
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: and we sat at the table where Marilyn Row was
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: asked to well, Joe Dimajo proposed to Marilyn Roe. So
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: it's pretty exciting stuff. Another restaurant that's a little newer,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: but a really really well known as Dantana's. And there
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: was a nineteen eighty restaurant that destroyed it. There's a
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: new memoir by the owner, the guy.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Who was started by everybody.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Or a restaurant a fire, a nineteen eighty fire, Oh
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I say, restaurant.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: A restaurant destroyed it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, a restaurant did destroy it. It was fine.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: It was a fire that destroyed it. Okay, thank you
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: for that. Yeah, there, don't do that again. And it
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: had to do. And the story of how this thing
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: came into being nineteen eighty Dantannas, which was an okay restaurant, explodes.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: The family vacation or the family was vacationing in Yugoslavia
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: because the guy who owned it is yugoslav like my
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: father is. And a telegram arrived saying the restaurant burned
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: it down. So Dantanna, the owner, flies back to La
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and he's trying to He's looking at this building that
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: has burnt to a crisp, but on what used to
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: be the front door there it's handwritten signs, rebuild it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: This is our home. Don't change a thing. So who
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: got involved? Linda Ronstadt got involved, Governor Jerry Brown, who
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: she was dating, got involved, and all of a sudden,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: d'antana became the became the center of Hollywood in terms
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: of restaurants. It was the darling of the Hollywood crowd.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Some great stories. Frank Sinatra once offered to buy the
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: restaurant and Dantanna said no, not interested, and he said,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I'm never going to step foot in that restaurant again.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: And was. He's a very interesting guy who started it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: He was marked by political oppression under communist rule.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: His dad was a political prisoner.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: He was a soccer star and came the United States
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: when he defected to Belgium because it was still under
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a it was still under communist regime. And what a
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: terrific story about Dan Tanner. And if you look at
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the people who have gone there. Johnny Carson once called
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: it his favorite restaurant. Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Marilyn Rose
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: to go there. They were all a list customers and
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Dan Tanner refused to pander to celebrities. He got people waited.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: If there was a line, everybody waited, and they made
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the same reservations. He refused to give a list people
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: any kind of priority.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Very well loved guy. Uh and uh.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: He becomes this hangout by chance because of Linda Ronstad.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Another story I want to share with.
• 25:52

• 25:59
  Speaker 2: restaurant critic of New York I forgot his name, well
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: known restaurant critic is trying to get out of the
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: rain and he steps into uh this entryway where there
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: was an awning and it said, uh, to be honest,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: that's actually not he be honest, it's uh, what's the
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: name of the restaurant?
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Am I am? I mind?
• 26:26
