Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, so the mayor in Philadelphia, Cheryl Parker, is Cheryl
or Cherrell. I think it's what's spelled like sho Philadelphia.
I go with Cherill, Why not Charrell Parker. She tried
to start this Eagles chant, you know, for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Of course they're playing on Sunday and they're playing for
the NFC Championship to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl,

(00:22):
and she tries to start this chant, but she can't
spell eagle. Oh my god, where do you hear this?
This is fantastic h zag attack if you would he
owes the L one more time. Let wait, let's hear

(00:46):
that again. She's trying to spell it. Okay, elks. I
typed it as she was saying, Oh that's a that's
a wow. He is Alex Stone ABC News joining us now,

(01:07):
and she put in an e L. There was no a. Uh.
It's just funny that she's out there trying to rally support.
First of all, I think there's about four people there,
it sounded like. And then she misspells, and I'm like,
what is it about? You know, do you remember I
don't know if you remember, but Fetterman when he was
like you know, it's better than the Eagles is the Eagles,

(01:33):
And he and he said that this was like way
back when he was first elected, and and I was
just like what just happened there? He was trying to
say they were better than the Steelers because he was
in Philly and he was, you know, obviously he's Pennsylvania senator.
But it's like, just like I was, like, what is
it with people? Just knock all of that off. Don't
even attempt any of that in public.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Just the state ad or whatever it is where they misspelled.
They've got the letters on their their bare chess and
they're in the crowd and they miss spell the word
and they've got to like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Really we should have her to do an intro for Alex.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Alex Stone.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
R oh c K.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, Eagles are so much better than Eagles. Then he goes, no, no,
it's like he realized what he had said, like uh, oh,
I kind of screwed that up kind of thing. It's like,
are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Like could you just give up on it? You go, oh,
I'm just gonna move on, Like yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Uh, there's just so much confusion. It seems like, you know,
with regard to that, but boy, it's really is it
a lot easier to spell Broncos for you? I don't
think so outre s. I don't, Hey, do you speaking
of that? Do you even care at this point who's
going to the super Bowl or do you still have

(02:55):
a dog in the race if you no?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
No, really, my son loves Patrick Mahomes. So oh, I
know that people are tired of the Chiefs, but so
I kind of find it fun to watch them.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
But yeah, yeah, I don't know if you've heard the
one meme where he's like, you know, the refs like
first down, touchdown, Chiefs win by fifty all hail Patrick Mahomes,
Like it's one of those you know, spoofs that's out there.
I posted it from.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
To time favor Mahomes a little bit. Yeah, things aren't
getting called on him, but he takes advantage. He knows
how to play the system.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
So yeah, let's see if I can actually because you
would be able to This is a pretty good.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Leading Patrick Mahomes personal bubble. The result of the play
is first down, touchdown and Chiefs win by fifty points.
Hail Patrick Mahomes during the personal selves, violating Patrick Mahomes
personal bubble. The result of the play is first down,
touchdown and Chiefs win by fifty points.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
He knows how to use that bubble.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
He has a as an NFL player ever, actually won
an Academy award. Yeah, he does the flailing thing when
people shove him out of bounds.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
They do it in soccer and they do it in basketball,
and it's part of the game.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's a terrible part of the game, quite frankly, but hey,
look if you can get away with it and it
helps you out, look, that's that's partly why they're paying
them all that money, I suppose.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
But you go back to the Broncos. I give Bo
Nick some credit for coming in first season. He actually
didn't do that bad.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
My son loves him, by the way. He's like, I
love Bo Nicks. He has all this information about him,
and my son's a Steeler fan like me. I didn't
make him or he just wanted to be a Steeler fan.
But he loves bo Nicks because he when you, guys,
you won the game, one of the games you weren't
supposed to not really weren't supposed to win. And I
can't remember which one, but he was like he was saying, Dad,

(04:48):
don't sleep on him, you know, like he's going to
be so anyway, next.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Season he's going to be really good. And because he
came from Auburn, well then Oregon, right, but but Auburn
before that. And I've come from an Auburn family and
so we're all bow Knicks. But that's cool, Yeah that
I think next season is gonna be pretty good. Now,
you know, he got the cobwebs off of being in
the NFL. Would be good to go.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Good stuff for sure. So I wondered when this was
going to start, Alex, and this has kind of been
the way I've been promoting this coming up this hour,
but I was like, wow, I the finger pointing has
begun and people want answers, and now some didn't receive
emergency alerts to evacuate. And by the way, is that
a geography? Is it a geographical thing there? Like on

(05:28):
your phones? Like if I was there, would my phone
automatically kind of be hijacked and go, you know, danger
go off? Yeah, okay, so it is where you are.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
So when we were driving through fire zones, it would
be going off numerous times because you were hitting different
geographical zones where they were telling you get out, to
get out of the area. But the so you can
turn it off, just like Amber alerts on your phone.
You can, And that is one issue that people had
them turned off where they got annoyed by them, so
they turned them off. So some people didn't get them

(05:58):
because they had their eases turned off on their iPhone
or on their Android. But the bigger issue is people
who live on the western side of Altadena, they never
got them at all, and that's where the deaths were
where people died, and people who lived there say the
alerts never came or they came many hours later, and
that they feel like that's why people died because they
weren't told to get out. And like this woman lost

(06:19):
her home.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
I'm very disappointed and angry about it because I feel
like had we gotten evacuation official notification, we would have
acted faster.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And she says she never got the order to evacuate.
She grabbed what she could when she thought she was
in danger and came back and her home had burned
to the ground, but never got an order in any
form to get out. She's not alone. This guy's same thing.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's disappointing, but the fire was moving so quickly.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I don't know what their resources were.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
I don't know what their challenges were, but you know,
we certainly didn't have the notice.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
And the LA Time says they reviewed records that in
many of the homes in the deadliest area, they never
got any kind of an evacuation warning. And so there
is going to be an investigation now in La County.
Supervised Catherine Barger says that she is leading this charge.
It's going to be a third party investigation. They want
to know, for here or for Columbus or wherever, why
the system sometimes works. Is it a technical thing where

(07:11):
the cell towers down? Did they mess up the geographic
part of it? They don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
It's important for us to gather all the backs so
that we have a complete picture of what happened. And
I make you this promise that is going to be
my priority moving forward.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
And today the sheriff guys reminded everybody that alert or not,
his deputies were heroes in this and that they went
door to door and they were pulling elderly people out
and banging on doors with fire all around. And he
doesn't want it lost. Then maybe cell phones didn't go off,
but there were humans in there running into the fire
and pulling out citizens who needed to be who needed help,
And he says.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Looking at their faces, a lot of them looking into
their eyes with tears in their eyes, because all of
them at times felt helpless because of the weather conditions,
because they wanted to save everybody's life.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And so there will be an investigation in the wireless
emergency alert and a lot they've got to learn. But
I think the other lesson in this really is that
whether it be a wildfire or a snowstorm or a
tornado or whatever it is, that you can't wait to
be told to go, whether it be on your phone
with an emergency alert or somebody banging on your door
or a siren going off, that sometimes you got to

(08:17):
look and it's everybody saved themselves and you got to
go when you think you're in danger and not rely
on somebody telling you you got to go.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You just wonder if they are going to be lawsuits
based on we lost a family member one.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Percent, no doubt. Then the other side of this is
that at one point, all ten million people in La
County got an alert saying everybody had to go that
there was fire outside their house and that was a
mistake and they had to rescind that that they actually
accidentally sent to everybody. Listen to this guy. There is
a guy who runs the emergency alerts. He had to
come out and say sorry for that.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
They can't express enough how sorry I am for this experience.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
The middle of the night, all ten million people were
told to evacuate now, and then they had to send
another one going ooh, sorry about that. Never mind, it
says you're fine.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Wasn't there something? Oh my gosh, the remember in Hawaii
where they have a missile, they were told that they
it was incomings Can you imagine?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
It seems like this technology is not totally there yet,
that we haven't figured that out. And they say that
there are problems where signals skip cell towers and bounce
off of cell towers and go to the wrong areas,
and so there's still a lot of issues they got
to figure out. But they want to know why in
the deadliest area, why they never got warnings.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
This is clearly far from over. This whole situation. They
began trying to sort all of this out, No question
about that. From ABC News out of Los Angeles, Alex
Stone and Alex thank you very much for the latest
on this. Stay safe, brother, See you man.
