1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hour two Sean Hannity Show, Toolfrey, here's on numbers eight

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: hundred and nine to four one, Sean. If you want

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. You know, the

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: country right now is, whether people are conscious of it

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: or not, are going through a massive amount of reflection

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: about what they're expecting out of their government. I mean,

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: if you look at this lunatic running in Maine with

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: his Nazi tattoo, and you know, a New Green Deal, radical,

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: cradle to gray, womb to the tomb, socialist is I

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: never thought Karen Bass and Los Angeles, the mayor out

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: there is incompetent as she could be whatever be challenged

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: from the left. You have this new Seattle mayor who

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: up until defeating the incumbent democrat, another Mom Donnie radical socialist,

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: slash communist, whatever you want to call them, and then

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie in New York. This is now and they're

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: saying it, this is now the new model for the

17
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders said it. He wants to spread

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: a nationwide Now. I urge everybody and the Green New

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: Deal in AOC, who's the real leader in the House

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: of Representatives will defeat Chucky Schumer. If she challenges him.

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: But I want you to think of these things, those

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: of you that look towards the government to be the

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 1: answer to all of the problems in your life. Ask

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: yourself and your town, in your city, and your state.

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: How are your government schools doing now? In my free

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: state of Florida, they're actually doing very well. And yet

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: it is some of the lowest taxes in the entire country.

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: But if you look at blue cities, blue states, it

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: is atrocious. We spend nationally, per capita, more on education

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: for our children than any other country in the industrialized world,

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: and we have the worst results. How's that Obamacare thing

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: working out for you? Keep your doctor, keep your plan.

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Average family saves twenty five hundred dollars per family per year.

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Millions lost doctors, millions lost plans. For over forty percent

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: of the country, they have one Obamacare exchange option. If

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: they're lucky, they have two, but neither one is any good.

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: And you're paying a whopping two hundred and twenty five

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: to three hundred plus percent more for Obamacare and it's

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: not working for people. You know? How is that defundismantled

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: no bail law? Reimagine the police working out in your

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: blue city or your blue town or your blue state,

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: not very well in most cases, which is why Donald

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: Trump is sending you know, troops to places like Memphis

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: and d C. And Chicago, et cetera to restore law

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: and order. Now North Carolina, so a lot of people

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: put their faith, their hope, their trust, their belief in

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: government and putting aside the Department of War. I don't

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: know that much that the government has a great track

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: record of doing particularly well. Remember they told all of

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: us that they would put your money that you have

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: paid in all of your working life into a Social

52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Security lock box. Well, those guys in Washington, with the

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: decades have rated the lock box and it's headed towards insolvency,

54
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: just like you know, Medicaid, Medicare and states, they're all

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: headed towards insolvency because they've been mismanaged. And this is

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: the lunacy and the false promise of socialism. I wrote

57
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: a whole chapter live Free or Die Socialism. It's history

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: of failure. You know. Now we're learning a lot about

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades. It's you know, over ten months later,

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: nearly a year later, and where are we when we've

61
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: learned new revelations thanks to the La Times and a

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: series of articles that they've written, that days before the

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: major fire, there had been a smaller fire. Firefighters alerted

64
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: their battalion chief that there was still smoldering areas that

65
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: needed to be monitored, and lo and behold, they were

66
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: taken off the job rather than monitoring it, and before

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: this reignited into the massive fire days later, thousands of

68
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: homes destroyed, twelve people killed. And then we learned something else.

69
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: We learned of incredible failure on the state local level

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: in terms of they, for example, we had reservoirs specifically

71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: designed for fires that are predictable. In this area, wild

72
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: fires are very predictable. They don't practice the science of

73
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: forestry in California because of environmental concerns. In other words,

74
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: they don't clear the kindling in the brush that is

75
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: around you know, these homes, and that just adds fuel

76
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: to the fire. Literally, we have the science of forestry,

77
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: we have, you know, for example, they put in you know,

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: we had fire hydrants that had no water, we had

79
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: reservoirs that were empty, and all of this happened. And

80
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: now we're being told, oh, yeah, they pulled out the

81
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: firefighters before the previous fire was completely extinguished, which makes

82
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: absolutely no sense at all. You might call at the time,

83
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. At least he was in the state. I

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: give him credit for that. Who's confronted by a woman

85
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: who's now working for Steve Hilton and trying to get

86
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: him elected governor as a Republican which is a near

87
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: impossibility of my view in the state of California. Remember,

88
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: she desperately goes up to the governor and this is

89
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: what the governor said, that was my daughter's school.

90
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: Governor, please tell me what you're going to do.

91
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: I'm can hurt of my promise.

92
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically

93
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: answer the question of what we can do for you

94
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: and your daughter?

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: Can I hear it?

96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 5: Can I hear your call?

97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe it?

98
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, can I There's literally I've tried five times.

99
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: That's why I'm walking around, Jamake, I'm a president not

100
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: taking your call because it's not going through. Why I

101
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: have to get self service. Oh, I'm talking to the

102
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: president literally right now, and can I hear? Well? I'm

103
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: trying to get the president interesting answer, and of course

104
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Karen bass Well, she wasn't even in town. She was

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: at the swearing in of the new president of Ghana,

106
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: an event I'm sure that obviously requires the attendance of

107
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: the mayor of Los Angeles. But here's what she is

108
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: being peppered with questions upon her return, and she is very,

109
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: very detailed, very articulate answers.

110
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while

111
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire

112
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: department budget by millions of dollars?

113
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 4: Madam Mayor?

114
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 2: Have you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing

115
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk says that

116
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, Madam Mayor?

117
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?

118
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: Her dealing with this disaster? No apology for them? Do

119
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this

120
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: was unfolding? Back homes.

121
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: Thing, not a peep joining us. John conn Breitbart Editor,

122
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: by the way, the artist behind the hit song Fighter

123
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: that brought America's resilience to life. Following the attempted assassination

124
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: of President Trump, he lost his house in the Pacific

125
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Palisades fire, and by the way, I had a guest

126
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: on last night and said, not one home has been rebuilt.

127
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Not one. Also with us, Senator Rick Scott of Florida,

128
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: listen to the victims and witnesses of the Pacific Palisades

129
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: fire who are being suppressed and shunned by the entire state.

130
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Welcome both of you. John Let me first offer my

131
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: deepest condolences. I'm so sorry. The mayor, the governor all

132
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: said they'd expedite these permits. My understanding is nobody can

133
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: get a permit. What's happening out there.

134
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 5: It's very difficult right now, Sean, thanks for having me back.

135
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 5: I just want to thank Senator Scott and Senator Johnson

136
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: for leading this crusade to get to the bottom of this.

137
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 5: It's stunning to me that two Republican senators who are

138
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: not even from the state are the ones the charge

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: to get to the bottom of what happened to what

140
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 5: is essentially a Democrat thronghold of the Palasage with all

141
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 5: the Hollywood folks. But from what I understand, it's insane

142
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 5: to get a permit. People are wrestling with insurance. I

143
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: was back in LA a couple of months ago and

144
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 5: my neighborhood has completely leveled still, and there almost seems like,

145
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: you know, it's this ram Emmanuel quote about never let

146
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 5: a good crisis go to waste. It almost feels like

147
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 5: between the insurance companies and the local government and state

148
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: government that they're trying to break the collective will of

149
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 5: the Palisadians, and sadly from the folks I've talked to

150
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: you that are there right now. I'm currently in Nashville.

151
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 5: It seems to be working because people are throwing up

152
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: their hands saying, I don't want to start my life

153
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: again in two or four years. I want to start now.

154
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't know what they're supposed to

155
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: do now. I'm very fortunate that I live in the

156
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Free State of Florida. Senator Rick Scott was governor of

157
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: the state, and he was phenomenal in the midst of

158
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: many crises, including natural des including how many hurricanes did

159
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: you have when you were a governor of the state

160
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: of Florida, Don, I had.

161
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: Four major hurricanes. One arm was bigger than the state

162
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: of Florida. I went out John. First off, I just

163
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: will tell you my heart goes out to you listening

164
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: your home. I watched this after hurricanes and and the

165
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: fact that you know the local and state government doesn't

166
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: do anything to help you is just you just get

167
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: the whole community restarted. I went out there and met

168
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 4: with Spencer Pridde in August, and I just was shocked.

169
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: I mean, street after street, there's just nothing. I mean

170
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 4: it just burnt down home, street after street after street,

171
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: and there's like there's nothing happening. There's there's there's almost

172
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: no construction. And so you know, we're gonna look. My

173
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: my goal is to get to the bottom of this.

174
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: Number One, it's unfair to these families. Number Two, the

175
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 4: federal government has spent a fortune on wild wildfire suppression.

176
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: This should never ever have happened. Ever and then there

177
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 4: and then as we know that there was a fire,

178
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 4: they they left before it was put out. I'm not

179
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: a firefighter, but I've been around when they put out.

180
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 4: We have you know, the Everglade catches on fire a

181
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: little bit, you know, every year or two. And we

182
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 4: spent a lot of time there putting water and water

183
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: and water and turning over the dirt, and they said

184
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 4: it was smoldering. Then they left and then not fill

185
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: up the reservoirs. Spencer craze. There's a there's a reservoir

186
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: three doors for his house. He always thought it was

187
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: full of watering and there hadn't been any water in forever,

188
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: he said. And then the other reservoir they it was empty,

189
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 4: the big reservoir for the palace. So the firefighters that did,

190
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: they came, I mean, there was no water for him.

191
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: And then you heard from these residents there was no plan.

192
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: There's no evacuation plans, there's no evacuation routes. And then

193
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: you can't get a permit to rebuild. I mean, this

194
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: is so unfair. And then the state insurance plan, right,

195
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 4: it doesn't cover your costs, Spencer says. Spencer says, you know,

196
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: the money he got will barely pay for pilings for

197
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: his house. And then they change the rules for what

198
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: you have to build now so much more expensive, and

199
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: his property taxes are going to go up. And of

200
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: course if you can get property insurance, you know, which

201
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: is very difficult because of you have a new simbel

202
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: what he's done to the states, and church companies don't

203
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: want to do business there. He's feel so sorry for

204
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: the people. So we had great we had six you know,

205
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: victims out there, including Spencer, and then some people from

206
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 4: the audience typed up and brought the issues they had.

207
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 4: So you just your heart goes out to what's going

208
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: on out there. Just it's just empty shot. It's just

209
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: you're just shocked. It's just nothing built. It's just a

210
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: burnt down areaful a centater.

211
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: I've known you forever, We've been friends forever. When you

212
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: were governor, We've became very good friends because you were

213
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: always visiting New York with Bobby Jendle and Governor Rick Perry,

214
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: and you were all up in New York and you

215
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: were you were courting businesses to move to your respective states,

216
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: and you were very successful at it, let's be honest.

217
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: And it cracked me up because every time you guys

218
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: were in New York, I put you in studio and

219
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: we became good friends. And I'm honored to have you

220
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: as my senator. And if this happened and you were

221
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the governor, where would we be right now? First of all,

222
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: these are predictable wildfires, predictable Santa Ana wins. I know

223
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: because I lived there in the eighties. I know all

224
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: about southern California well, and you.

225
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: Know Sean, they did. It's like we do prescribe burns

226
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: on our state property. So what you do is you

227
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: get rid of the brush because if you know it's

228
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 4: the rushing to get there and it gets right, it's

229
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 4: going to catch on fire. Shocking, Right, in California, they

230
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: have all this brush that they don't get rid of

231
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 4: the brush. You have you have to do that.

232
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: That's called forestry. You can get a degree and then

233
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: from so many schools around the country.

234
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they just let them. And it's around these

235
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: beautiful areas like the Palisades and Malibu and this stuff,

236
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: and so they just they it's a tinderbox. And then

237
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: they're they're shocked. And then they were saying that because

238
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 4: put so much money because she I guess she wants

239
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: more homeless people in California. So you have homeless people

240
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 4: out there, and they'll they'll start a right because they're

241
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: trying to stay warm when it gets when it goes down.

242
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: So sometimes that's what starts to this stuff. So but

243
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 4: it's like it's no one cares. It's like fast and newsome.

244
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: You know, whatever the system is, they don't care if

245
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: they don't show up. The other thing, Sean when I

246
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: had a hurricane, I showed up. I got six million

247
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: people to evacuate before.

248
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: Not only I know for a fact, not only did

249
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: you show up, you didn't sleep, you worked around the clock.

250
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: You didn't leave. You didn't leave people hanging. People were

251
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: taking care of you know, before, during, and after, and

252
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: the follow through was complete. You'd never gave in.

253
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: No, these are people right, You're like, my goal was

254
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: nobody die, nobody die, keep them alive. We can rebuild everything.

255
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna have a hurricane. I can't stop the hurricane.

256
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: And then what we did. Then, what we did is

257
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: we help people rebuild as quickly quickly as you can.

258
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is what John ten months

259
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 4: since the house is burned down, and so it's almost

260
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: like nothing like him ten months nothing.

261
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Let me ask John, John, how many homes have been rebuilt?

262
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: And do you also have to pay your normal property

263
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: taxes on these properties?

264
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 5: Well, they gave us a little break on the property taxes.

265
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 5: Thought with how much you pay normally, it's not a

266
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: break for the land you can't do anything with. And

267
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: what's worse is you have to hold onto your insurance policy.

268
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 5: So now I'm paying for a year of insurance a

269
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 5: couple thousand dollars or so for in case somebody stumbles

270
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 5: onto my dirt and falls reliability.

271
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: Let me come back to both of you, because this

272
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: is too important. I don't want to rush through it.

273
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: If you both can stay just like five more minutes,

274
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: I promise we'll get right back to you. Eight hundred

275
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: and nine four one. Sean will continue with John conn

276
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: and my Senator Rick Scott of Florida. I mean, it's

277
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: taken Rick Scott in Florida to help the people in

278
00:14:51,040 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades. Pretty spectacular. We'll continue. Ya listens to

279
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Sean Hennedy and he's on on on right now, all right,

280
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: we continue. I mean, it's unremarkable to me. We are

281
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: ten months out. You know, the before we had empty

282
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: hydrants and empty reservoirs out in California. There's no the

283
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: science of forestry was not practiced in the state of California. Rather,

284
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: and in California, you know, all these homes burned down,

285
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: twelve people dead, and people have to still pay an

286
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: enormous amount of money for insurance and property taxes even

287
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: uh and they cannot get a permit to rebuild their home.

288
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: And their life. It is a spectacular failure. I applaud

289
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: my Senator Rick Scott were going out there and trying

290
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: to help the people of California because the government out

291
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: there is that incompetent. But John con Breitbart editor, lost

292
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,479
Speaker 1: his house. I was asking you before the break about

293
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, you have to maintain insurance on the property

294
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: even though there's no house there, and you have to

295
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: do you have to pay some property taxes also, I

296
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: wasn't quite clear on that.

297
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you do. I mean they waived some of it.

298
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: But it's still what do you mean waves some of it?

299
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how much do you have to spend a

300
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: year for your burnt down house?

301
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's about I think I own like another

302
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: ten grand in a couple months.

303
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, how much do you spend a year?

304
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's what I owe in a couple of months.

305
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 5: I think it's about ten thousand dollars for property tax

306
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: and that's.

307
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 4: With a break.

308
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: They're charging you ten thousand dollars in property taxes, but

309
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: they won't give you a permit to rebuild your home.

310
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me.

311
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's crazy.

312
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: In the thing and how much do you pay annually

313
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: for the insurance for a home that doesn't exist on

314
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: that property?

315
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's about I think it was about fifteen hundred.

316
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 5: That's just in case somebody stumbles onto your dirt and tricks.

317
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: That's for liability.

318
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: So eleven five hundred dollars a year year. And now

319
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: on top of not having your home, not getting a permit,

320
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: having to find in another place to live. Now you

321
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: moved to Tennessee.

322
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 5: Correct, I'm in Nashville now, yes, are you going back?

323
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: Are you going to sell your lot and probably lose

324
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: a fortune on that end of this deal?

325
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 4: You know?

326
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 5: I don't know yet, Sean. I mean the problem is

327
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 5: the insurance is a big problem as well, because it's

328
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 5: like whack them all with like for State Farm, it's

329
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: whack them all with their adjusters. You start dealing with

330
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 5: one and then they switch to another one. I think

331
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 5: I've been through five, and every time you have a

332
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 5: new one, you have to start over and they have

333
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: to get familiar with your case. I don't have my money.

334
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 5: My house is to rebuild. My house would be well

335
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 5: worth well over the cap that they owe me. But

336
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 5: they're delaying and delaying and delaying, so until you know

337
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 5: what money you are going to get, you don't even

338
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: know if you can rebuild, so you can't even apply

339
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: for a permit.

340
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Let me go back to Senator Rick Scott, Senator, honestly,

341
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: you do such a great job for us here in Florida.

342
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: I really do applaud you for trying to help people

343
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: out because this is this is an unmitigated disaster. And

344
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: you know all about this because there's there are wildfires.

345
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: But we've practiced forestry here in Florida, so you mitigate

346
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: the damage. And you're all over natural disasters as governor,

347
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: and the same with Governor DeSantis. You guys are all

348
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: over disasters. We're the best at it, uh to be honest,

349
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: and we get we get a lot of natural disasters

350
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: out here, Sean.

351
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 4: The other issue that John's deal with them people have

352
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: Palin States is you have to apply for a permit,

353
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: and it's not cheap. It's not like five bucks. What

354
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 4: I was told there was tens of thousands of dollars

355
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 4: to apply for a permit and they've barely given they've siding,

356
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: you know, John, what I was told is they just

357
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: in permit fee. So far, they've raised thirty million dollars

358
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: and just like a couple hundred people have gotten permits.

359
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: When I was out there last week with siner Ron

360
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 4: Johnson doing this investigation hearing, there was almost no houses

361
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 4: being built. And when I talk to people, they said, well,

362
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: if they are building the house, they got that permit

363
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 4: before before things were burnt down. So I don't know

364
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: if that's what you're hearing, but it's also thousands of dollars.

365
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 4: And then that they've changed the rules on what you

366
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: have to build, so it costs way more money to build,

367
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: all right. And then they've ruined the insurance market, so

368
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 4: the insurance never covers all the costs. So it's it's

369
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: like it's like it's everybody that it's like the whole

370
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 4: government's against the Palistates.

371
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: And then there are people Senator, and I know you

372
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: have to run in a minute. That's why I'm going

373
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: to ask you one last question. And then there are

374
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: people now pushing and you see this all over the

375
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: country cradle to grave, womb to the tomb zoron Marxist

376
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: Kami Mumdani politics. We see it in Seattle, we see

377
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: it in Maine, even La Mayor bass is being challenged

378
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: from the left. I mean, if she's if she's not

379
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: left enough, I don't know. I mean, this is insanity

380
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: to me. Nobody should die. If I was in call point,

381
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: get out leave now. Well, a lot of people already have.

382
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 4: Well you know when I when I became governor back

383
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: in twenty January twenty eleventh, you know, very few people

384
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 4: from California were moving. Actually nope, we had lost more

385
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 4: people in twenty ten because the economy is so bad

386
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: in Florida. So we add at one point seven million

387
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 4: jobs down as governor. But I recruited people like you said,

388
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 4: New York. It was easier in New York and New Jersey.

389
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: You were, you were, It was hilarious. I saw you

390
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: up there all the time. We became best friends.

391
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 4: But I went to out to California. We ran ads

392
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 4: for Perry and I ran ads out there. But now

393
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 4: there's so many people leaving California and thinking about California

394
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 4: is beautiful, but it's it's you know, unless you're wealthy,

395
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: you can't afford to live out there, or you have

396
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 4: to be really poor where they give you everything for free.

397
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 4: So think about this. The taxes are so high. But

398
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: their schools are not as good as Florida. The universities

399
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 4: are not as good as Florida. The law enforcement, right,

400
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 4: you know, they don't like their law enforcement. They want

401
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 4: to defund the police. So Bath hates you know, you

402
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 4: know she you know she's cut the you for the

403
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: fire department. You realized that before the fire.

404
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: That was a brilliant move to Senator. I'm going to

405
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: keep my word and let you go at your schedule time.

406
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. We appreciate you taking

407
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm grateful that you are my senator

408
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: here in the Free State of Florida. Thank you, John.

409
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word, and I want to

410
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: just echo what I said earlier and what the Senator said.

411
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: I feel so sorry for you and your family. I

412
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: really do. My heart goes out to you. This is

413
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: exactly what I try to warm my audience about. Do

414
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: not put your faith, your hope, your trust, your belief

415
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: in government to be to get anything right, especially out there.

416
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. I appreciate that, Sean. I mean one thing with

417
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 5: Senator Scott said that really moves me in the wake

418
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 5: of something like this. He said, where are they? Where's

419
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom, Where's where? Where are our leaders?

420
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: He's in Texas grand standing so he can make his

421
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: run for president, that's where he.

422
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: Was, Or in Brazil or on x with some you

423
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 5: know adolescent Twitter stream while people are trying to figure

424
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 5: out how to rebuild their lives.

425
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Is Adam Schiff out there doing what Rick Scott and

426
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: Ron John are doing?

427
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: No, and neither is Padilla. And we haven't heard hide

428
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 5: nor hair from those guys.

429
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: And like, wait a minute, they're Democrats, right, Aren't they

430
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: supposed to be compassionate? Aren't they the ones that preach

431
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: that they care the most, that they have a monopoly

432
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: of compassion for people.

433
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: It really is, you.

434
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 5: Know, it's so fascinating about watching Gavin Newsom is there's

435
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 5: this distance to him. It's almost, you know, I hate

436
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: to say it's sociopathic. How he can you know, claim

437
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: to be ready to lead the country when he's left

438
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 5: his own citizens out to try He's not there where

439
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 5: How many times have you been to the pala Fates.

440
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: He's in Brazil getting climate change recognition and.

441
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: It's really I'm a change And he doesn't practice simple

442
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: you know, forestry science, and he doesn't have reservoirs. You

443
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: know what his answer was on reservoirs and being empty

444
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: and fire hydrants being emptied. Oh, you're going to have

445
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: to ask local officials about that. That's not I'm not

446
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: in charge of that. Where does the buck stop out

447
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: in California? I would think with the governor.

448
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, a million gallons in that reservoir that weren't and

449
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 5: it was empty. A million gallons they could have had

450
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 5: of water.

451
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: Well, I wonder how many homes could have been saved

452
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: if they practiced the science of forestry, because you have

453
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: predictable wildfires. They have a wildfire season and predictable Santa

454
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: Ana wins that you know you have those every year too.

455
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. So they should have been prepared,

456
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't they have?

457
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 5: I think so? I think so? And I heard something

458
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 5: this morning. I don't know if it's confirmed yet, but

459
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 5: now the state is claiming immunity for many wrongdoing responsibilities

460
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 5: because supposedly they were unaware of that smoldering fire just

461
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 5: after on January first, and yet it just came out.

462
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: I read that they sent a state park representative to

463
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,440

484
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: No, it's not a matter of that. I have a

485
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: problem that my name is on them. I have two

486
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: wonderful children that are the you know, the greatest gift

Speaker 1: God ever gave me and my children come visit their dad.

488
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: They're very close to their dad and I'm honored that

489
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: they are and houses. So what they do is they say, Dad,

490
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: can I have this? Well, what am I supposed to say?

491
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: No?

492
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: It makes it tough.

493
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: Wait, I made It's not just tough, it's it's impossible

494
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: for me to say no. I can't say no to

495
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: my children on stuff like that. Now, if they ask

496
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: me for something ridiculous, the answer is hell no. But

497
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: you know they want a bubble cuddle blanket because they

498
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: like it that much. It's theirs anyway, what's on your mind?

499
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 3: Well, I lived in South America. I lived in Venezuela

500
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: actually in the nineties into two thousand and I got

501
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 3: out two thousand and five because it was a slow

502
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: motion train, right. You watched them vote this guy in,

503
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: and you're telling everybody, don't vote for him, don't vote

504
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 3: for him again, don't do this, don't do that. And

505
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: they kept doing it. And my neighbor's property got confiscated

506
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: by the government. He was an Englishman, had a cattle ranch,

507
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: and I tried to get him to confiscate mine because

508
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: the World Court paid him out of Petroleu State Venezuela.

509
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: I think he got two point three million dollars for

510
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: property worth three hundred thousand.

511
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: Right. Well, I mean, I'm just going to tell you

512
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: we've seen you look at Venezuela, Latin America one of

513
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: the richest countries and incomes Hugo Chavez, and now it's

514
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: one of the poorest countries and it continues under Maduro.

515
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: It's sad. I mean, I can't tell you how many

516
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: people I know the fled Castro's Cuba, and I've met

517
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: with them, I've sat with them, They've told me their

518
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: stories and the same thing there. I mean, Cuba should

519
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: be I mean, it should be one of the richest

520
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: islands around. It's so close in proximity to the US.

521
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of smart people in Cuba

522
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: said I'm out of here, and they came to America

523
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: and having come from oppression and tyranny and even you know,

524
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: threats against their lives and confiscation and property and all

525
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: that they've experienced. You know, I find that the people

526
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: that live under those systems that come here often appreciate

527
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: the gift of liberty and freedom and the American dream

528
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: more than Americans, do we take for granted that which

529
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: was given us as our birthright, we take it for granted.

530
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: The people that lived under different systems that come here,

531
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: they seem to appreciate it more, which is often the case.

532
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: Well, you also run into the ones that have been

533
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: so indoctrinated, some of the Cubans that are here having

534
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 3: so indoctrinated that they always want to tell on their

535
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 3: neighbors about doing this or doing that, because that's what

536
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 3: they do to survive in Cuba.

537
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: Is I get it? That's all very real, one hundred

538
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: percent real. Uh, my friend, I have to run. We'll
