Speaker 1: Well, we have come in.
Speaker 2: To your city. I get tars and saying you a
Speaker 2: conscious sun.
Speaker 1: Will be entire tell and if you want a little banging.
Speaker 2: A union and come along.
Speaker 3: But Biden have won the twenty twenty four election had
Speaker 3: he stay in the race. Truthfully, I categorized his statement
Speaker 3: as flat out bonkers.
Speaker 4: Despite what you have heard from Caruso, no firefighters have
Speaker 4: told us that they are running out of water.
Speaker 2: Gg what can you tell us?
Speaker 5: Well, firefighters have told me they have no water on
Speaker 5: this block right now. If you need help, emergency information,
Speaker 5: resources and shelter is available.
Speaker 2: All of this can be found at your elf.
Speaker 6: AFRAIDO, is that in style? Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 2: Coming to your city.
Speaker 7: Go way.
Speaker 2: I get Tarzan saying you a conscious salt.
Speaker 8: The New Sean Hennity Show more I'm the scenes, information
Speaker 8: on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 3: Stay right here for our final news round up and
Speaker 3: information overload.
Speaker 8: A news round up, Information overload hour. Here's a toll
Speaker 8: free number. It's eight hundred and ninety four to one, Sean.
Speaker 8: If you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 8: You know this whole issue of environmental radicalism extremism has
Speaker 8: been with us a long time, and and you've had
Speaker 8: these these groups out there. They have basically been co opted.
Speaker 8: The left has been co opted by these groups and
Speaker 8: pressured by these groups, and slowly, but surely it culminated
Speaker 8: in an administration that is willing to spend a fortune
Speaker 8: of your money when it comes to oh, that's okay,
Speaker 8: you're gonna have to retrofit your home.
Speaker 2: Oh that's okay.
Speaker 8: Uh, you're going to have to get a new washer
Speaker 8: and dryer, new air conditioner, new refrigerator, new appliances without
Speaker 8: any consideration at all. There's a report out today with
Speaker 8: Donald Trump now considering an executive order to protect gas
Speaker 8: powered appliances. You know, consumer watch dogs are pointing out
Speaker 8: how much the Biden administration and their radical environmental agenda
Speaker 8: is costing homeowners and accord. According to the Alliance for Consumers,
Speaker 8: all of these mandated green updates from Biden regulations and
Speaker 8: Harris regulations are called could cost the average American family
Speaker 8: nine thousand dollars. That's on top of Biden inflation, Biden
Speaker 8: energy prices, everything you pay for inflation, everything you buy,
Speaker 8: and every story you go to through the roof and
Speaker 8: it's all based on this ridiculous insanity that America should
Speaker 8: not you know, be fossil fueled. The dependent, I mean,
Speaker 8: the effort to really eliminate all fossil fuels are real.
Speaker 8: We see the sabotage with what the moratorium Joe Biden
Speaker 8: tried to put in place. It will be overcome by
Speaker 8: Donald Trump in the final hours as he's leaving office.
Speaker 8: You know, we're selling off portions of the border walls.
Speaker 8: Just anger, resentment, bitterness, pettiness on his part. It's pretty unbelievable.
Speaker 8: But this movement has been building for some time. The
Speaker 8: year that I went out to the San Joaquin Valley
Speaker 8: and did the story on the Delta smelt was two
Speaker 8: thousand and nine, and they had all of these farms
Speaker 8: as far as the eye can see that we're not
Speaker 8: able to grow crops because they wanted to protect and
Speaker 8: save the water for a little minnow fish called the
Speaker 8: delta smelt. Now you probably are thinking, well, the delta
Speaker 8: smelt is an endangered species.
Speaker 2: No, it's not. It's like a minnow.
Speaker 8: You know, if you've ever been fishing and you take
Speaker 8: a little minnow, you put it on the end of
Speaker 8: your hook to catch a bigger fish.
Speaker 2: Know what it looks like.
Speaker 8: It's not that big a deal, and there's plenty of them,
Speaker 8: probably too many of them. But the fact that the
Speaker 8: government of California chose the Delta smelt not an endangered
Speaker 8: species over farmers and people and their ability to eat
Speaker 8: food at a cost rate that is effective for them
Speaker 8: is insanity. Let's take you back to nine. This is
Speaker 8: when I went out to the San Joaquin Valley.
Speaker 9: Tonight, we bring you an update on a story that
Speaker 9: we covered back in May. The Central Valley of California
Speaker 9: was once considered the bread basket of America, but now
Speaker 9: farms all over that region have been allowed to dry up.
Speaker 9: Now why because of a two inch minnow on the
Speaker 9: endangered species list? How environmentalists claim that the fish was
Speaker 9: getting caught in the water pumps that provided the farms
Speaker 9: with water, so to protect the tiny fish, the pumps
Speaker 9: were turned off.
Speaker 2: Did I ever sound like that, Linda? Really, it is
Speaker 2: so painful to hear that. Even I have to say.
Speaker 6: What's funnier about it is looking at it with you
Speaker 6: and Devin Nunez, and it's just I don't.
Speaker 8: Know, it was just funny, oh funny for you not
Speaker 8: funny for me, nay for me. Indeed, let's go to
Speaker 8: Donald Trump in twenty eighteen standing next to Gaven Newsom
Speaker 8: and advising him and stressing the importance of proper forest management.
Speaker 2: Listen, cleaned out and protected.
Speaker 10: We've got to take care of the floors, you know,
Speaker 10: the floors of the forest very important.
Speaker 1: You look at other.
Speaker 10: Countries where they do it differently, and it's a whole
Speaker 10: different story. I was with the President of Finland and
Speaker 10: he said, we have a much different We're a forest nation.
Speaker 10: He called it a forest nation. And they spent a
Speaker 10: lot of time on breaking and cleaning and doing things
Speaker 10: and they don't have any problem. And what it is,
Speaker 10: it's a very small problem. So I know everybody's looking
Speaker 10: at that to that end and it's going to work out.
Speaker 8: Oh you see nothing but passing the bug flame and
Speaker 8: no accountability of people that have been in office many
Speaker 8: decades out in California. And the bottom line is is
Speaker 8: that the mismanagement of California's fire policies have made it
Speaker 8: vulnerable year after year after year. As this wildfire now
Speaker 8: is raging through not only the Pacific Palisades but now
Speaker 8: into the Hollywood Hills, into Santa Monica, and God knows
Speaker 8: how far and why this is going to go. The
Speaker 8: fire has not been contained as of this hour, and
Speaker 8: hopefully some of the winds, you know, are beginning to
Speaker 8: die down a little bit according to some reports, that
Speaker 8: would be good. But people's lives have been lost. Thousands
Speaker 8: of homes have been lost. And you know, everybody's more
Speaker 8: concerned about quote Trump proofing California when they should have
Speaker 8: been fire proofing people's communities knowing that they have this
Speaker 8: history of wildfires. Now, our friend Mark Bernovich, former Attorney
Speaker 8: General with the Great State of Arizona, handled a lot
Speaker 8: of litigation relating to these rules, dealing with quote, carbon
Speaker 8: emissions and job killing environmental regulations and anyway he joins us.
Speaker 8: And this has now been building for decades. That clip
Speaker 8: I've played, which by the way, was very distorted. I
Speaker 8: don't think that sounded like me at all, But that
Speaker 8: clip was from two thousand and nine, a long time ago.
Speaker 2: We've been on this issue.
Speaker 11: Well, Sean, thanks for having me on. And I will
Speaker 11: say your voice is improving with age, so that you
Speaker 11: got that going for you. Sometimes when I'm on your show,
Speaker 11: people will call me or text me and say it
Speaker 11: sound like Darth Vader. So I'm not sure what that's about,
Speaker 11: but I will let me just as you said, this
Speaker 11: has been building for decades. And this is what I
Speaker 11: used to always say, even in court, that when the
Speaker 11: Soviet Union collapsed, communism didn't die. All those people just
Speaker 11: ended up in the environmental movement. Make no mistake about it.
Speaker 11: This has become a religion for people. And it's a
Speaker 11: terrible tragedy what is happening in California right now. But
Speaker 11: the reality is for decades environmentalists, as you pointed out,
Speaker 11: have you know, stopped you know, water from throwing to
Speaker 11: the southern California or flowing into farms because of species
Speaker 11: that are using the Dangerous Species Act for protected species
Speaker 11: or other species that are plentiful. But we saw even
Speaker 11: when I was ag we were involved with litigation in
Speaker 11: the Ninth Circuit where these environmental groups basically use NEPA,
Speaker 11: the National Environmental Protection Act, to go into court to
Speaker 11: stop any sort of development or even forest sitting. So
Speaker 11: they think they know what how to manage a forest
Speaker 11: or land better than the Forest Service. And what ends
Speaker 11: up happening. They first of all, they destroyed the logging industry,
Speaker 11: in the timber industry in Arizona. Secondly, because you don't
Speaker 11: sind forests out anymore, or they don't send the woods
Speaker 11: and the mountains in California anymore. What ends up happening
Speaker 11: is you end up getting more trees per acre, so
Speaker 11: when you have a fire, it's more intense, it's harder
Speaker 11: to fight. And not only that, if the environmentals are smart,
Speaker 11: they would recognize that when there's more trees per acre,
Speaker 11: that means there's less flow in the spring into the
Speaker 11: reservoirs in California and Arizona and other places because there's
Speaker 11: more trees sucking at more water. So the environmentalists created this.
Speaker 11: There is a man made crisis with our environment, but
Speaker 11: it's created by the zealots in the environmental movement that
Speaker 11: care more about minnows than they do about human beings.
Speaker 8: It really is something. Correct me if I'm wrong, mister
Speaker 8: Attorney General. My understanding is you can actually go to
Speaker 8: college and get a degree in forestry.
Speaker 2: Is that not correct?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 11: I have a beef with the higher education establishment. That's
Speaker 11: what it is. So I'm guessing they offer all sorts
Speaker 11: of degrees and all sorts of like crazy studies that
Speaker 11: are pretty much, I don't know, worthless. But that's a
Speaker 11: whole different debate discussion, because I sued the universities here
Speaker 11: and it was crazy what we found out during discovery
Speaker 11: of not only were people's tax dollars or going to
Speaker 11: public universities, but the types of classes that people were
Speaker 11: forced to take and the type of degrees that were offered. Anyway.
Speaker 11: But getting back to the environmental stuff, which we I
Speaker 11: was very involved in. One of the things that we
Speaker 11: got our members. Don't forget the ESG, the Environmental, Social
Speaker 11: and Governance scores. Biden's SEC went out right towards the
Speaker 11: end of my term as AG. We went into court
Speaker 11: to stop Biden's SEC Security and the SEIS Commission from promulgating.
Speaker 11: They had new rules that basically added all these burdensome
Speaker 11: requirements on publicly traded companies and they literally had to
Speaker 11: consider their ESG score. I mean, I always say that,
Speaker 11: you know, people like my mom that worked very hard.
Speaker 11: You know what the green she cares about is the
Speaker 11: green and her retirement account. She doesn't want the SEC
Speaker 11: saving you know, force. I mean, that's not the job
Speaker 11: of federal bureaucrats, and as you said, as I've said,
Speaker 11: make no mistake about it, This environmental movement has become
Speaker 11: a religion for some people and it is who creates
Speaker 11: all their meaning for them. And they literally care more
Speaker 11: about trees or smelts or whatever than they do about
Speaker 11: human beings. And it's not only a cost in dollars,
Speaker 11: as you said earlier. You know, we're talking about thousand
Speaker 11: dollars in costs. And you know we were involved in litigation.
Speaker 11: We tried to see Biden over his rules on the appliances.
Speaker 11: But this SD stuff, this is very roke. And this
Speaker 11: is the stuff where they're going to basically co opt
Speaker 11: their takeover a lot of companies. And this is the
Speaker 11: Left wants to control your pocket book. They want to
Speaker 11: control you through regulations. And once you can control people's
Speaker 11: livelihoods and their property, then you can control the way
Speaker 11: they vote. And so this is all classic neo Marxism,
Speaker 11: you know, the playbook. They've just latched onto the environmental
Speaker 11: movement to achieve their goals and their ends.
Speaker 8: It really is amazing how they masquerade as environmentalists. Let
Speaker 8: me ask you, how do you think the air quality
Speaker 8: in la is today?
Speaker 11: It's terrible. It's always terrible, you know. And one of
Speaker 11: the things that's really quick we were involved in air
Speaker 11: qual litigation. I was ag One of the things that
Speaker 11: bothered me so much is Southern California was exempt from
Speaker 11: a lot of the the federal air requirements because it's California.
Speaker 11: They get treated differently. And it is a terrible tragedy
Speaker 11: what's going on there right now. But people should realize
Speaker 11: this is what happens when you californaicated state and they've
Speaker 11: created not only job killing regulations, they've pandered to the
Speaker 11: far left, to the environmentalists, and you're going to see
Speaker 11: a bunch of people fleeing that state again. And they said,
Speaker 11: it's a terrible tragedy. But if the'd we're gonna move
Speaker 11: to Arizona, Texas or Florida. I just hope they remember that.
Speaker 11: You know, lots of regulations, insane laws, lots of taxations
Speaker 11: don't work where you have a beautiful ocean and beautiful farmland.
Speaker 11: Ain't gonna work in the deserts.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, welcome back.
Speaker 8: More with former Arizona Attorney General Mark Burnovitch on the
Speaker 8: other side, we'll get to your calls. I know many
Speaker 8: of you have been very patient today. Eight hundred and
Speaker 8: nine to four one. Shawn is on number. As we continue, right,
Speaker 8: we continue with former Attorney General State of Arizona, Mark
Speaker 8: Bernovitch is with us. He's been involved in a lot
Speaker 8: of the lawsuits involving these environmental lunatics. What you're really
Speaker 8: pointing out, I think is very very clear, and that
Speaker 8: is this environmental radicalism that that movement has has really
Speaker 8: evolved into the leftist Marxist status socialist agendas, as best
Speaker 8: exemplified by the New Green Deal.
Speaker 2: Is that a fair analysis, absolutely, one hundred percent.
Speaker 11: And it is so bad. I remember when I was
Speaker 11: running for reelection of ag you have these left wing
Speaker 11: groups spending millions, millions of dollars to attack me because
Speaker 11: of my views on the environment. I spoke at the
Speaker 11: University of Virginia law school a few years ago about
Speaker 11: what a sham so much of this environmentalism is, and
Speaker 11: like talking about facts and you know why we need
Speaker 11: We don't need these job telling regulations and these statutes.
Speaker 11: And a student is crying, a lawsuit was crying, and
Speaker 11: I told him, I said, my guy, if you can't
Speaker 11: handle me talking about their mental movement for forty five
Speaker 11: minutes and telling you why there's all these all this
Speaker 11: hypocrisy and all these holes in it. And al Gore
Speaker 11: is living in a ten thousand foot square home that
Speaker 11: takes up more energy than the entire blocks around him.
Speaker 11: And Leonardo DiCaprio is preaching environmentalism while he's flying on
Speaker 11: private debts to private islands. There's so much hypocrisy in
Speaker 11: the movement because it is it's neo Marxism, where do
Speaker 11: as they say, not as they do. They are they're hypocrites.
Speaker 11: And if you look at the data, if you trust
Speaker 11: the science wherever you want to say, so much of
Speaker 11: what they're saying is bs. And one of the things
Speaker 11: that I used to point out, there's an article from
Speaker 11: the early seventies and Time magazine that had a picture
Speaker 11: of the Earth with the giant ice sheetover and I
Speaker 11: used to use that. I used to hold it up
Speaker 11: and if you read the first paragraph that Time magazine story,
Speaker 11: it talked about the scientific consensus is in because of
Speaker 11: man kind, we are for chever changing environment and have
Speaker 11: now created a global ice age. And then when temperatures
Speaker 11: started warming up in the eighties and nineties, then it
Speaker 11: became global warming because the Earth's temperature is constantly changing.
Speaker 11: I mean, the Great Lakes are created ten thousand years
Speaker 11: ago by we have an ice age in America, the
Speaker 11: ice age, the ice sheet receded and that's how the
Speaker 11: Great Lakes were formed. And so we've gone through these
Speaker 11: cycles of hot, cold, hot, and cold. And it's the
Speaker 11: arrogance of human beings to think that somehow we are radically,
Speaker 11: you know, changing the environment. But what has happened is
Speaker 11: enough people believe that like a religion. If people have
Speaker 11: lost faith in God, they'll believe in anything. And the
Speaker 11: neo Marxists, the socialists have latched onto it because they
Speaker 11: understand this is how you can emotionally control people, and
Speaker 11: you can create this crisis where people have to act,
Speaker 11: oh my gosh, we need a bigger federal government, or
Speaker 11: we need less trees, we need to save snales instead
Speaker 11: of desalinizing water in southern California. There's all these issues
Speaker 11: which are all about control, and there's so much hypocrisy
Speaker 11: and the environmental movement. Quite honestly, it makes me sick.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't worry.
Speaker 8: By the time they're all said and done, they'll blame
Speaker 8: Donald Trump, I do have to run. We appreciate your
Speaker 8: expertise on this. Former Attorney General Great State of Arizona,
Speaker 8: Mark Bernovich with us. Thank you, sir, We appreciate your time.
Speaker 8: I'm twenty five to the top of the hour of
Speaker 8: your calls. Coming up straight ahead in just a minute,
Speaker 8: eight hundred and nine point one, Shawn our number. Look,
Speaker 8: God forbid that moment comes and somebody breaks into your
Speaker 8: house wants to bring harm to you or your family,
Speaker 8: or they break into your business they want to bring
Speaker 8: harm to you your employees. Well that's a tough situation.
Speaker 8: If you need to defend yourself, well that's where your
Speaker 8: nightmare may begin. We are living sadly in a time
Speaker 8: where government overreaches all too real. Now it didn't involve
Speaker 8: a firearm, but you saw what they tried to do
Speaker 8: to Daniel Penny, and you have prosecutors, politicians, they want
Speaker 8: nothing more than to make an example out of law
Speaker 8: abiding gun owners, people like you and me. Now, I've
Speaker 8: been a proud member of the us CCA for over
Speaker 8: nine years and with the USCCA. God forbid, if that
Speaker 8: moment ever comes in my life and I have to
Speaker 8: defend my family and my life I'm not going to
Speaker 8: stand alone, and I want to encourage all of you
Speaker 8: to protect your family, protect your freedoms. Join the over
Speaker 8: eight hundred thousand responsible safe gun owners like me that
Speaker 8: trust the u s ECA to have their back with
Speaker 8: safety and training and resources and self defense liability insurance.
Speaker 8: And by the way, they'll point in the right direction
Speaker 8: for situational self defense classes, which, by the way, the
Speaker 8: first thing they try to teach is to talk your
Speaker 8: way out of a situation.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 8: Text my last name, Hannity to eight seven two to
Speaker 8: two two. Learn more about membership with the USCCA. Safeguard
Speaker 8: your family, protect your rights today. That's Hannity, h A
Speaker 8: N N it T y to the number eight seven
Speaker 8: two to two to two, and you will be glad
Speaker 8: that you did. It was so interesting to watch uh
Speaker 8: an anchor. He's in the middle of saying and claiming
Speaker 8: that firefighters are running out of water. Is just that
Speaker 8: that report is false in spite of everybody else reporting it,
Speaker 8: And then a ground reporter said, no, that story is true.
Speaker 4: Listen, despite what you have heard from Caruso, no firefighters
Speaker 4: have told us that they are running out of water.
Speaker 2: And let's go out here.
Speaker 4: Gigi Grassi at she is lost in the Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 5: I know your signal's not the beast, but Gigi, what
Speaker 5: can you tell us?
Speaker 2: Well, firefighters have told me they have no water on
Speaker 2: this block.
Speaker 5: And you may be able to make out the emberstorm
Speaker 5: that we're in the middle of right now. This house
Speaker 5: going to be a total loss. They have no water
Speaker 5: to put on this fire. They are standing by because
Speaker 5: they're trying to stave the home that is next to it.
Speaker 5: We are on Carrie Street. This is between Toyopa Drive
Speaker 5: and Sunset Boulevard. That home is going to be a
Speaker 5: total loss. Firefighters here telling me they have no water.
Speaker 2: Why, they don't know.
Speaker 5: They've heard that there may be broken manes, they very
Speaker 5: be broken pipes.
Speaker 11: They don't know.
Speaker 5: But what they've been doing to save the house next
Speaker 5: to it is actually putting pulling water from the swimming pool.
Speaker 8: I mean, it's just horrible. What's going on. Let's go
Speaker 8: to California. Bonnie is on the Sean Hannity Show. Bonnie,
Speaker 8: how are you. I'm so sorry about what's going on
Speaker 8: in your state and for people in LA in the
Speaker 8: South Line.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm in Pasadena, just a few miles from the
Speaker 12: Eaton fire, which started maybe just a few hours after
Speaker 12: the Palisades fire, and same story, no water, blocks and
Speaker 12: blocks and blocks of houses, small businesses, even you know,
Speaker 12: Bank of America businesses all burned down. No water anywhere
Speaker 12: for the firefighters. The weird thing is, I have water
Speaker 12: in my home. I can, you know, run the dishwasher,
Speaker 12: run plush the toilet, get water out of the tap,
Speaker 12: no problem. But the firefighters don't have them. I've been
Speaker 12: calling my city. I've been calling my mayor, I've been
Speaker 12: calling my city council people saying, listen, if the firefighter
Speaker 12: need water, tell everybody don't use the water and give
Speaker 12: the water to them. For five hours, six hours all day.
Speaker 12: No water, We'll give it to the firefighters. This is
Speaker 12: intentional on the water. Tens of thousands of homes had
Speaker 12: burnt down. This is a complete and utter disaster. They're
Speaker 12: not doing anything to stop the fire. It's just going
Speaker 12: to burn itself out maybe eventually.
Speaker 8: The good news, but you still have one hundred mile
Speaker 8: per hour winds, which means that this thing is going
Speaker 8: to keep, you know, expanding.
Speaker 12: No no, no, no, no no, no, Sean, Okay, it
Speaker 12: is still for the past too. Now. The other night,
Speaker 12: it was Tuesday night, terrible winds. That's another story. On Monday,
Speaker 12: January sixth, and horrific January sixth anniversary, keen trails all
Speaker 12: over in southern California, criss crossing the skies by By
Speaker 12: Monday night, there was a small haze all over the
Speaker 12: basin in southern California Tuesday and then that massive or
Speaker 12: the next day they started talking about Santa Anna wins
Speaker 12: Saniana winds. This don't happen this time of year. That's weird.
Speaker 12: I thought, that's your massive windstorms. Incredible. I've had some
Speaker 12: damage to my house, broken windows, ce bad dad. But
Speaker 12: that's when the fire started, right and it was freaky
Speaker 12: and you could see the flames from the window, and
Speaker 12: oh my god, everybody's panicking. But yesterday and today still
Speaker 12: not a breeze, not a breeze, and yet the fire
Speaker 12: is still going. They could stop this fire. There's no
Speaker 12: water to stop the fire.
Speaker 8: There's not It's so funny because I just saw a
Speaker 8: report that the winds had picked back up again. But listen,
Speaker 8: you're there, so you know better than I do. I
Speaker 8: hope that's the case. But you're making a good point,
Speaker 8: because they're still reporting zero containment, and if there's no containment,
Speaker 8: that means they don't have the water to contain it,
Speaker 8: and that is a huge problem. I mean, and the
Speaker 8: idea that nobody wants to take any responsibility for what's
Speaker 8: happened here is unconscionable to me. Is as people are
Speaker 8: watching their their lifelong dreams literally go up in flames
Speaker 8: and up and smoke. It's so preventable. Our prayers are
Speaker 8: with you, Bonnie, hang in there. Thank you for that information.
Speaker 8: We appreciate it. Scott also California. Next Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, Sean longtime listener. Yeah, right now, Okay, I'm
Speaker 3: about thirty miles away, forty miles away from the fire
Speaker 3: and down in Malibu, and it looks like the smoke
Speaker 3: is kind of bellowing up, but it's still going horizontal,
Speaker 3: so that's showing the wind is still quite strong.
Speaker 2: And then well Fox put.
Speaker 8: Up that they had winds anywhere from ninety to one
Speaker 8: hundred miles per hour. I'm looking now, you know, it
Speaker 8: depends on where it is, Like the Hearst fire was
Speaker 8: nineteen miles per hour and other areas the.
Speaker 2: Lydia fire.
Speaker 8: It was three hundred and forty eight acres, which is
Speaker 8: total forty percent contained at least in that particular fire,
Speaker 8: which is nice, But but their winds are still moving
Speaker 8: in a lot of areas. This unset fire hit forty
Speaker 8: three acres. I mean, you can go through every every
Speaker 8: one of them and you know, still zero percent contained there,
Speaker 8: which is so heartbreaking for people. That means they're not
Speaker 8: making any progress. And a lot of times there's not
Speaker 8: a lot of wind but for the most but there
Speaker 8: has been a downturn in the winds in a lot.
Speaker 2: Of areas for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then see I lived in Ventura and I'm looking
Speaker 3: at the hillside that was called the Thomas Fire. It
Speaker 3: had burnt probably four years ago.
Speaker 7: And the lady prior to me was saying that they
Speaker 7: ran out of water. Well four years ago, this was
Speaker 7: at the Thomas fire. It happened the same way.
Speaker 3: They ran out of water, and I think a thousand
Speaker 3: homes burnt here in Ventura. And so you would have
Speaker 3: thought that they would have learned their lesson then and
Speaker 3: had you know, city council meetings or whatever with the government,
Speaker 3: they should have Well, I.
Speaker 8: Mean that that fire came after I left California in
Speaker 8: I guess nineteen nine.
Speaker 1: What was it.
Speaker 8: Hope Sound is at the part of the kind of
Speaker 8: a more affluent area of Santa Barbara.
Speaker 2: That whole community I went back there was like burn
Speaker 2: to the ground. It was awful.
Speaker 8: And and then all these subsequent fires, and they never
Speaker 8: learned their lesson. They never make adjustments, they never changed
Speaker 8: their policy. They never you know, I mentioned earlier all
Speaker 8: the universities you can get a degree in forestry and
Speaker 8: forest management, and that includes controlled burns. That includes eliminating
Speaker 8: the brush and the kindle for these fires and certainly
Speaker 8: having water available.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: Caitlin Jenner was very interesting. You know, lives in Malibu.
Speaker 8: They just had a fire there not long ago. Completely
Speaker 8: fireproof the exterior of the house except for the garage doors.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 8: The whole house was the the you know, the outside
Speaker 8: of it was fireproof. And in Florida where I live,
Speaker 8: Free State of Florida, you have to have a hurricane
Speaker 8: if you live anywhere near the water, you have to
Speaker 8: have hurricane sustaining doors and windows, period and the sentence,
Speaker 8: it's mandated, and it's smart, and that's why you're able
Speaker 8: to also get insurance in the end.
Speaker 6: Yes, And there's a problem here.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 3: You get all these multimillion dollar homes and they want
Speaker 3: to put in drought tolerant plants just to make it
Speaker 3: environmentally looking good for their friends or whatnot. And that's
Speaker 3: the worst kind of plant you can put in front
Speaker 3: of your house because it's just going to torch. It's
Speaker 3: like a chaparral. And that's all we have around here
Speaker 3: is chaparral. We don't have trees or really any forest
Speaker 3: until you get up to four or five thousand feet.
Speaker 3: And so this fire started down in the Palisades. I
Speaker 3: think it's probably i'd say the elevation where it started
Speaker 3: maybe two three thousand feet at the Mac.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And the way, I just feel awful for everybody and
Speaker 8: all the people that have had to evacuate and have
Speaker 8: no knowledge of their home. It is still standing and
Speaker 8: it's preventable anyway.
Speaker 2: Our prayers are with you. Hang in there. Scott.
Speaker 8: Steve is a missouri Hey Steve, how are you? Steve's
Speaker 8: a farmer, It says on my screen, thank you for
Speaker 8: what you do, Thank you for feeding us.
Speaker 2: What do you grow?
Speaker 6: Small grains? Corn and soybeans and awesome. It's just a
Speaker 6: family farm. We rent out the ground, so not a
Speaker 6: true farmer. Do help with managing the farm, and some
Speaker 6: of that is prescribed burns that we do on a
Speaker 6: periodic basis, both on CRP grasses.
Speaker 2: So you do you do good land management.
Speaker 8: You do controlled burns as a means of preventing vulnerability
Speaker 8: to a massive fire like we're witnessing in California about that, and.
Speaker 6: Also for primarily management of the CRP ground. But yes,
Speaker 6: and you know, like I told your screener, I said,
Speaker 6: I don't know if it could have been prevented, but
Speaker 6: it sure could have been minimize greatly if this would
Speaker 6: have been done. But like your caller Ms. Jenner said yesterday,
Speaker 6: you know, you can't make fire breaks if this kind
Speaker 6: of plant or flower or whatever it was is there,
Speaker 6: Well you just push your mouth and keep doing it.
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's sad, it is, but it well.
Speaker 8: People should be listening and learning from you because you
Speaker 8: understand it. But they do, you know what, They've decided
Speaker 8: to capitulate to the radical environmentalist movement, and that's this
Speaker 8: is the predictable sad result. Anyway, Steve, thank you. We'll
Speaker 8: sneak in Josh and Florida, my home state by free
Speaker 8: state of Florida. What's going on, Josh? How are you, sir?
Speaker 1: Hello Jean. I want to say thank you very much.
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say God bless everybody
Speaker 1: in California, their homes, their families or friends, the wildlife
Speaker 1: there and the wileife people who take care of those animals.
Speaker 1: I see it on the news here in Jacksonville. My
Speaker 1: point reason why I'm calling you, sir, is because I
Speaker 1: have the utmost respect for you, more now than ever
Speaker 1: half the whole many many years that I have listened
Speaker 1: to you. You have stuck by mister Donald Trump, our president,
Speaker 1: who well will be there in Washington for the inaugural.
Speaker 1: I will be there. I'll be leaving next Friday, stand
Speaker 1: on Monday. However, too thick and thin, Sir, you have
Speaker 1: been there by his side. I have listened to you.
Speaker 1: You never veered away from him, and for that that
Speaker 1: makes me more of a listener now than I ever have.
Speaker 1: My son is sixteen years old and listens to you
Speaker 1: just as much as I do when he gets out
Speaker 1: of school. Thank you for being the true hero on
Speaker 1: the air.
Speaker 8: I mean that you have never you know, I'm just
Speaker 8: being true to myself, and I will tell you his
Speaker 8: ideas when implemented to the extent we can get this
Speaker 8: agenda passed. It is going to be transformational. It will
Speaker 8: be good for your sixteen year old son. It'll be
Speaker 8: good for my kids that are a little bit older
Speaker 8: if they ever have children. And I'm our grandparent, it'll
Speaker 8: be good for our grandkids. We have got to fix
Speaker 8: this country. It is a disaster right now, and had
Speaker 8: we not won, I don't know if we would be
Speaker 8: able to recover. So I'm grateful to all of you.
Speaker 8: And I said that at the time that that went out,
Speaker 8: took the time, voted, participated, donated, whatever you did poll watchers,
Speaker 8: I mean, I can't everybody. We're all spokes in a
Speaker 8: wheel here, and everybody did their part, and thankfully it
Speaker 8: came out the right way. And now now we ever,
Speaker 8: this is a great opportunity. It's an exciting time. We
Speaker 8: can we can make we can transform Washington. We can
Speaker 8: actually bring back constitutional principles. But anyway, you're very kind
Speaker 8: to me. I say to you back at you, thank.
Speaker 1: You, Happy New Year to you and your family. And
Speaker 1: I was going to keep on listening. Happy New Year, sir.
Speaker 1: Thank you for everything you've ever said, you stuck to it.
Speaker 1: And the guests you have, JILLIANE. Michaels, you name it,
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Jenner, they're all right. But the topics you bring
Speaker 1: about are for the people, for the Americans, and for
Speaker 1: the country. Thank you so much, sir.
Speaker 2: That's what I care the most about. I mean, really,
Speaker 2: we do the show for people.
Speaker 8: And you know, for all these years that I have said,
Speaker 8: you know, why do so many people put their faith,
Speaker 8: their hope, their trust in government. How many times does
Speaker 8: government have to disappoint you and fail you before you
Speaker 8: recognize that they're not the answer. I urge all of
Speaker 8: you in this audience to be as self reliant as possible.
Speaker 8: Look what they did the Social Security Medicare, they're going
Speaker 8: to they're going bankrupt. Look what they've done with a
Speaker 8: thirty seven trillion dollar budget deficit. Look at what they've done,
Speaker 8: you know, with their environmental regulations to the cost of
Speaker 8: gasoline and diesel and energy in this country. Look at
Speaker 8: their regulations they want to take away you know, plastic
Speaker 8: straws and your refrigerator, your air conditioner, your freezer and
Speaker 8: washer and dryer. They want to control every aspect of
Speaker 8: your life. They don't believe in freedom. You know, look
Speaker 8: at how you how's your school system doing? How is
Speaker 8: law and order in your small town or big city.
Speaker 8: Why do people believe in the Green New Deal where well,
Speaker 8: we're promising we'll take care of your every need. Well,
Speaker 8: how did Obamacare work out?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Anyway, I appreciate the call, and I just urged this
Speaker 8: audience those of you hearing me, don't depend on the government.
Speaker 8: Worse words of the English language. I'm from the government.
Speaker 8: I want to help you, No thank you. I can
Speaker 8: live without your help.
