This is an I-Heart podcast.

KFI AM-640.

You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the I-Heart Radio app.

We're on every day from one until 4 o'clock.

And then after 4 o'clock, John Cobalt show On Demand on the I-Heart app.

Another day goes by.

Another day of virtually no progress when it comes to rebuilding after the fire,

the Palisades and Altadena.

Another day of virtually no information as to what started the fire,

why the reservoir wasn't filled, why the hydrants didn't work.

Everybody in government is stonewalling, hoping everyone stops caring.

But we keep forging on here, and we're going to talk now with Sue Pasco.

Sue is a journalist from the Palisades.

She's the editor of Circling the News, circling the news.com, which is an online news website.

And she flagged us an interview that was done by the L.A. Times, a podcast host named Kate Kegel with Lindsay Horvath.

And we're going to play a couple of clips along the way.

But first, let's get Sue Pasco on here.

Sue, how are you?

I'm good.

I just, you know, all this crap basically about officials trying to ignore that they were responsible is just driving me crazy.

Have you learned anything new about their lack of preparation, lack of response?

Oh, John, don't you know, they had everything ready.
