Speaker 1: Hour two Sean Hannity Show, Toolfrey, here's on numbers eight
Speaker 1: hundred and nine to four one, Sean. If you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. You know, the
Speaker 1: country right now is, whether people are conscious of it
Speaker 1: or not, are going through a massive amount of reflection
Speaker 1: about what they're expecting out of their government. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you look at this lunatic running in Maine with
Speaker 1: his Nazi tattoo, and you know, a New Green Deal, radical,
Speaker 1: cradle to gray, womb to the tomb, socialist is I
Speaker 1: never thought Karen Bass and Los Angeles, the mayor out
Speaker 1: there is incompetent as she could be whatever be challenged
Speaker 1: from the left. You have this new Seattle mayor who
Speaker 1: up until defeating the incumbent democrat, another Mom Donnie radical socialist,
Speaker 1: slash communist, whatever you want to call them, and then
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie in New York. This is now and they're
Speaker 1: saying it, this is now the new model for the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders said it. He wants to spread
Speaker 1: a nationwide Now. I urge everybody and the Green New
Speaker 1: Deal in AOC, who's the real leader in the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives will defeat Chucky Schumer. If she challenges him.
Speaker 1: But I want you to think of these things, those
Speaker 1: of you that look towards the government to be the
Speaker 1: answer to all of the problems in your life. Ask
Speaker 1: yourself and your town, in your city, and your state.
Speaker 1: How are your government schools doing now? In my free
Speaker 1: state of Florida, they're actually doing very well. And yet
Speaker 1: it is some of the lowest taxes in the entire country.
Speaker 1: But if you look at blue cities, blue states, it
Speaker 1: is atrocious. We spend nationally, per capita, more on education
Speaker 1: for our children than any other country in the industrialized world,
Speaker 1: and we have the worst results. How's that Obamacare thing
Speaker 1: working out for you? Keep your doctor, keep your plan.
Speaker 1: Average family saves twenty five hundred dollars per family per year.
Speaker 1: Millions lost doctors, millions lost plans. For over forty percent
Speaker 1: of the country, they have one Obamacare exchange option. If
Speaker 1: they're lucky, they have two, but neither one is any good.
Speaker 1: And you're paying a whopping two hundred and twenty five
Speaker 1: to three hundred plus percent more for Obamacare and it's
Speaker 1: not working for people. You know? How is that defundismantled
Speaker 1: no bail law? Reimagine the police working out in your
Speaker 1: blue city or your blue town or your blue state,
Speaker 1: not very well in most cases, which is why Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is sending you know, troops to places like Memphis
Speaker 1: and d C. And Chicago, et cetera to restore law
Speaker 1: and order. Now North Carolina, so a lot of people
Speaker 1: put their faith, their hope, their trust, their belief in
Speaker 1: government and putting aside the Department of War. I don't
Speaker 1: know that much that the government has a great track
Speaker 1: record of doing particularly well. Remember they told all of
Speaker 1: us that they would put your money that you have
Speaker 1: paid in all of your working life into a Social
Speaker 1: Security lock box. Well, those guys in Washington, with the
Speaker 1: decades have rated the lock box and it's headed towards insolvency,
Speaker 1: just like you know, Medicaid, Medicare and states, they're all
Speaker 1: headed towards insolvency because they've been mismanaged. And this is
Speaker 1: the lunacy and the false promise of socialism. I wrote
Speaker 1: a whole chapter live Free or Die Socialism. It's history
Speaker 1: of failure. You know. Now we're learning a lot about
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades. It's you know, over ten months later,
Speaker 1: nearly a year later, and where are we when we've
Speaker 1: learned new revelations thanks to the La Times and a
Speaker 1: series of articles that they've written, that days before the
Speaker 1: major fire, there had been a smaller fire. Firefighters alerted
Speaker 1: their battalion chief that there was still smoldering areas that
Speaker 1: needed to be monitored, and lo and behold, they were
Speaker 1: taken off the job rather than monitoring it, and before
Speaker 1: this reignited into the massive fire days later, thousands of
Speaker 1: homes destroyed, twelve people killed. And then we learned something else.
Speaker 1: We learned of incredible failure on the state local level
Speaker 1: in terms of they, for example, we had reservoirs specifically
Speaker 1: designed for fires that are predictable. In this area, wild
Speaker 1: fires are very predictable. They don't practice the science of
Speaker 1: forestry in California because of environmental concerns. In other words,
Speaker 1: they don't clear the kindling in the brush that is
Speaker 1: around you know, these homes, and that just adds fuel
Speaker 1: to the fire. Literally, we have the science of forestry,
Speaker 1: we have, you know, for example, they put in you know,
Speaker 1: we had fire hydrants that had no water, we had
Speaker 1: reservoirs that were empty, and all of this happened. And
Speaker 1: now we're being told, oh, yeah, they pulled out the
Speaker 1: firefighters before the previous fire was completely extinguished, which makes
Speaker 1: absolutely no sense at all. You might call at the time,
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. At least he was in the state. I
Speaker 1: give him credit for that. Who's confronted by a woman
Speaker 1: who's now working for Steve Hilton and trying to get
Speaker 1: him elected governor as a Republican which is a near
Speaker 1: impossibility of my view in the state of California. Remember,
Speaker 1: she desperately goes up to the governor and this is
Speaker 1: what the governor said, that was my daughter's school.
Speaker 2: Governor, please tell me what you're going to do.
Speaker 1: I'm can hurt of my promise.
Speaker 3: I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically
Speaker 3: answer the question of what we can do for you
Speaker 3: and your daughter?
Speaker 4: Can I hear it?
Speaker 5: Can I hear your call?
Speaker 1: Because I don't believe it?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, can I There's literally I've tried five times.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm walking around, Jamake, I'm a president not
Speaker 1: taking your call because it's not going through. Why I
Speaker 1: have to get self service. Oh, I'm talking to the
Speaker 1: president literally right now, and can I hear? Well? I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get the president interesting answer, and of course
Speaker 1: Karen bass Well, she wasn't even in town. She was
Speaker 1: at the swearing in of the new president of Ghana,
Speaker 1: an event I'm sure that obviously requires the attendance of
Speaker 1: the mayor of Los Angeles. But here's what she is
Speaker 1: being peppered with questions upon her return, and she is very,
Speaker 1: very detailed, very articulate answers.
Speaker 2: Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while
Speaker 2: their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire
Speaker 2: department budget by millions of dollars?
Speaker 4: Madam Mayor?
Speaker 2: Have you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing
Speaker 2: to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk says that
Speaker 2: you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, Madam Mayor?
Speaker 2: Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?
Speaker 2: Her dealing with this disaster? No apology for them? Do
Speaker 2: you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this
Speaker 2: was unfolding? Back homes.
Speaker 1: Thing, not a peep joining us. John conn Breitbart Editor,
Speaker 1: by the way, the artist behind the hit song Fighter
Speaker 1: that brought America's resilience to life. Following the attempted assassination
Speaker 1: of President Trump, he lost his house in the Pacific
Speaker 1: Palisades fire, and by the way, I had a guest
Speaker 1: on last night and said, not one home has been rebuilt.
Speaker 1: Not one. Also with us, Senator Rick Scott of Florida,
Speaker 1: listen to the victims and witnesses of the Pacific Palisades
Speaker 1: fire who are being suppressed and shunned by the entire state.
Speaker 1: Welcome both of you. John Let me first offer my
Speaker 1: deepest condolences. I'm so sorry. The mayor, the governor all
Speaker 1: said they'd expedite these permits. My understanding is nobody can
Speaker 1: get a permit. What's happening out there.
Speaker 5: It's very difficult right now, Sean, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 5: I just want to thank Senator Scott and Senator Johnson
Speaker 5: for leading this crusade to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 5: It's stunning to me that two Republican senators who are
Speaker 5: not even from the state are the ones the charge
Speaker 5: to get to the bottom of what happened to what
Speaker 5: is essentially a Democrat thronghold of the Palasage with all
Speaker 5: the Hollywood folks. But from what I understand, it's insane
Speaker 5: to get a permit. People are wrestling with insurance. I
Speaker 5: was back in LA a couple of months ago and
Speaker 5: my neighborhood has completely leveled still, and there almost seems like,
Speaker 5: you know, it's this ram Emmanuel quote about never let
Speaker 5: a good crisis go to waste. It almost feels like
Speaker 5: between the insurance companies and the local government and state
Speaker 5: government that they're trying to break the collective will of
Speaker 5: the Palisadians, and sadly from the folks I've talked to
Speaker 5: you that are there right now. I'm currently in Nashville.
Speaker 5: It seems to be working because people are throwing up
Speaker 5: their hands saying, I don't want to start my life
Speaker 5: again in two or four years. I want to start now.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't know what they're supposed to
Speaker 1: do now. I'm very fortunate that I live in the
Speaker 1: Free State of Florida. Senator Rick Scott was governor of
Speaker 1: the state, and he was phenomenal in the midst of
Speaker 1: many crises, including natural des including how many hurricanes did
Speaker 1: you have when you were a governor of the state
Speaker 1: of Florida, Don, I had.
Speaker 4: Four major hurricanes. One arm was bigger than the state
Speaker 4: of Florida. I went out John. First off, I just
Speaker 4: will tell you my heart goes out to you listening
Speaker 4: your home. I watched this after hurricanes and and the
Speaker 4: fact that you know the local and state government doesn't
Speaker 4: do anything to help you is just you just get
Speaker 4: the whole community restarted. I went out there and met
Speaker 4: with Spencer Pridde in August, and I just was shocked.
Speaker 4: I mean, street after street, there's just nothing. I mean
Speaker 4: it just burnt down home, street after street after street,
Speaker 4: and there's like there's nothing happening. There's there's there's almost
Speaker 4: no construction. And so you know, we're gonna look. My
Speaker 4: my goal is to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 4: Number One, it's unfair to these families. Number Two, the
Speaker 4: federal government has spent a fortune on wild wildfire suppression.
Speaker 4: This should never ever have happened. Ever and then there
Speaker 4: and then as we know that there was a fire,
Speaker 4: they they left before it was put out. I'm not
Speaker 4: a firefighter, but I've been around when they put out.
Speaker 4: We have you know, the Everglade catches on fire a
Speaker 4: little bit, you know, every year or two. And we
Speaker 4: spent a lot of time there putting water and water
Speaker 4: and water and turning over the dirt, and they said
Speaker 4: it was smoldering. Then they left and then not fill
Speaker 4: up the reservoirs. Spencer craze. There's a there's a reservoir
Speaker 4: three doors for his house. He always thought it was
Speaker 4: full of watering and there hadn't been any water in forever,
Speaker 4: he said. And then the other reservoir they it was empty,
Speaker 4: the big reservoir for the palace. So the firefighters that did,
Speaker 4: they came, I mean, there was no water for him.
Speaker 4: And then you heard from these residents there was no plan.
Speaker 4: There's no evacuation plans, there's no evacuation routes. And then
Speaker 4: you can't get a permit to rebuild. I mean, this
Speaker 4: is so unfair. And then the state insurance plan, right,
Speaker 4: it doesn't cover your costs, Spencer says. Spencer says, you know,
Speaker 4: the money he got will barely pay for pilings for
Speaker 4: his house. And then they change the rules for what
Speaker 4: you have to build now so much more expensive, and
Speaker 4: his property taxes are going to go up. And of
Speaker 4: course if you can get property insurance, you know, which
Speaker 4: is very difficult because of you have a new simbel
Speaker 4: what he's done to the states, and church companies don't
Speaker 4: want to do business there. He's feel so sorry for
Speaker 4: the people. So we had great we had six you know,
Speaker 4: victims out there, including Spencer, and then some people from
Speaker 4: the audience typed up and brought the issues they had.
Speaker 4: So you just your heart goes out to what's going
Speaker 4: on out there. Just it's just empty shot. It's just
Speaker 4: you're just shocked. It's just nothing built. It's just a
Speaker 4: burnt down areaful a centater.
Speaker 1: I've known you forever, We've been friends forever. When you
Speaker 1: were governor, We've became very good friends because you were
Speaker 1: always visiting New York with Bobby Jendle and Governor Rick Perry,
Speaker 1: and you were all up in New York and you
Speaker 1: were you were courting businesses to move to your respective states,
Speaker 1: and you were very successful at it, let's be honest.
Speaker 1: And it cracked me up because every time you guys
Speaker 1: were in New York, I put you in studio and
Speaker 1: we became good friends. And I'm honored to have you
Speaker 1: as my senator. And if this happened and you were
Speaker 1: the governor, where would we be right now? First of all,
Speaker 1: these are predictable wildfires, predictable Santa Ana wins. I know
Speaker 1: because I lived there in the eighties. I know all
Speaker 1: about southern California well, and you.
Speaker 4: Know Sean, they did. It's like we do prescribe burns
Speaker 4: on our state property. So what you do is you
Speaker 4: get rid of the brush because if you know it's
Speaker 4: the rushing to get there and it gets right, it's
Speaker 4: going to catch on fire. Shocking, Right, in California, they
Speaker 4: have all this brush that they don't get rid of
Speaker 4: the brush. You have you have to do that.
Speaker 1: That's called forestry. You can get a degree and then
Speaker 1: from so many schools around the country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they just let them. And it's around these
Speaker 4: beautiful areas like the Palisades and Malibu and this stuff,
Speaker 4: and so they just they it's a tinderbox. And then
Speaker 4: they're they're shocked. And then they were saying that because
Speaker 4: put so much money because she I guess she wants
Speaker 4: more homeless people in California. So you have homeless people
Speaker 4: out there, and they'll they'll start a right because they're
Speaker 4: trying to stay warm when it gets when it goes down.
Speaker 4: So sometimes that's what starts to this stuff. So but
Speaker 4: it's like it's no one cares. It's like fast and newsome.
Speaker 4: You know, whatever the system is, they don't care if
Speaker 4: they don't show up. The other thing, Sean when I
Speaker 4: had a hurricane, I showed up. I got six million
Speaker 4: people to evacuate before.
Speaker 1: Not only I know for a fact, not only did
Speaker 1: you show up, you didn't sleep, you worked around the clock.
Speaker 1: You didn't leave. You didn't leave people hanging. People were
Speaker 1: taking care of you know, before, during, and after, and
Speaker 1: the follow through was complete. You'd never gave in.
Speaker 4: No, these are people right, You're like, my goal was
Speaker 4: nobody die, nobody die, keep them alive. We can rebuild everything.
Speaker 4: You're gonna have a hurricane. I can't stop the hurricane.
Speaker 4: And then what we did. Then, what we did is
Speaker 4: we help people rebuild as quickly quickly as you can.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is what John ten months
Speaker 4: since the house is burned down, and so it's almost
Speaker 4: like nothing like him ten months nothing.
Speaker 1: Let me ask John, John, how many homes have been rebuilt?
Speaker 1: And do you also have to pay your normal property
Speaker 1: taxes on these properties?
Speaker 5: Well, they gave us a little break on the property taxes.
Speaker 5: Thought with how much you pay normally, it's not a
Speaker 5: break for the land you can't do anything with. And
Speaker 5: what's worse is you have to hold onto your insurance policy.
Speaker 5: So now I'm paying for a year of insurance a
Speaker 5: couple thousand dollars or so for in case somebody stumbles
Speaker 5: onto my dirt and falls reliability.
Speaker 1: Let me come back to both of you, because this
Speaker 1: is too important. I don't want to rush through it.
Speaker 1: If you both can stay just like five more minutes,
Speaker 1: I promise we'll get right back to you. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: and nine four one. Sean will continue with John conn
Speaker 1: and my Senator Rick Scott of Florida. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: taken Rick Scott in Florida to help the people in
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades. Pretty spectacular. We'll continue. Ya listens to
Speaker 1: Sean Hennedy and he's on on on right now, all right,
Speaker 1: we continue. I mean, it's unremarkable to me. We are
Speaker 1: ten months out. You know, the before we had empty
Speaker 1: hydrants and empty reservoirs out in California. There's no the
Speaker 1: science of forestry was not practiced in the state of California. Rather,
Speaker 1: and in California, you know, all these homes burned down,
Speaker 1: twelve people dead, and people have to still pay an
Speaker 1: enormous amount of money for insurance and property taxes even
Speaker 1: uh and they cannot get a permit to rebuild their home.
Speaker 1: And their life. It is a spectacular failure. I applaud
Speaker 1: my Senator Rick Scott were going out there and trying
Speaker 1: to help the people of California because the government out
Speaker 1: there is that incompetent. But John con Breitbart editor, lost
Speaker 1: his house. I was asking you before the break about
Speaker 1: you know, you have to maintain insurance on the property
Speaker 1: even though there's no house there, and you have to
Speaker 1: do you have to pay some property taxes also, I
Speaker 1: wasn't quite clear on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you do. I mean they waived some of it.
Speaker 1: But it's still what do you mean waves some of it?
Speaker 1: I mean, how much do you have to spend a
Speaker 1: year for your burnt down house?
Speaker 5: Well, it's it's about I think I own like another
Speaker 5: ten grand in a couple months.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, how much do you spend a year?
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's what I owe in a couple of months.
Speaker 5: I think it's about ten thousand dollars for property tax
Speaker 5: and that's.
Speaker 4: With a break.
Speaker 1: They're charging you ten thousand dollars in property taxes, but
Speaker 1: they won't give you a permit to rebuild your home.
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: In the thing and how much do you pay annually
Speaker 1: for the insurance for a home that doesn't exist on
Speaker 1: that property?
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's about I think it was about fifteen hundred.
Speaker 5: That's just in case somebody stumbles onto your dirt and tricks.
Speaker 5: That's for liability.
Speaker 1: So eleven five hundred dollars a year year. And now
Speaker 1: on top of not having your home, not getting a permit,
Speaker 1: having to find in another place to live. Now you
Speaker 1: moved to Tennessee.
Speaker 5: Correct, I'm in Nashville now, yes, are you going back?
Speaker 1: Are you going to sell your lot and probably lose
Speaker 1: a fortune on that end of this deal?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 5: I don't know yet, Sean. I mean the problem is
Speaker 5: the insurance is a big problem as well, because it's
Speaker 5: like whack them all with like for State Farm, it's
Speaker 5: whack them all with their adjusters. You start dealing with
Speaker 5: one and then they switch to another one. I think
Speaker 5: I've been through five, and every time you have a
Speaker 5: new one, you have to start over and they have
Speaker 5: to get familiar with your case. I don't have my money.
Speaker 5: My house is to rebuild. My house would be well
Speaker 5: worth well over the cap that they owe me. But
Speaker 5: they're delaying and delaying and delaying, so until you know
Speaker 5: what money you are going to get, you don't even
Speaker 5: know if you can rebuild, so you can't even apply
Speaker 5: for a permit.
Speaker 1: Let me go back to Senator Rick Scott, Senator, honestly,
Speaker 1: you do such a great job for us here in Florida.
Speaker 1: I really do applaud you for trying to help people
Speaker 1: out because this is this is an unmitigated disaster. And
Speaker 1: you know all about this because there's there are wildfires.
Speaker 1: But we've practiced forestry here in Florida, so you mitigate
Speaker 1: the damage. And you're all over natural disasters as governor,
Speaker 1: and the same with Governor DeSantis. You guys are all
Speaker 1: over disasters. We're the best at it, uh to be honest,
Speaker 1: and we get we get a lot of natural disasters
Speaker 1: out here, Sean.
Speaker 4: The other issue that John's deal with them people have
Speaker 4: Palin States is you have to apply for a permit,
Speaker 4: and it's not cheap. It's not like five bucks. What
Speaker 4: I was told there was tens of thousands of dollars
Speaker 4: to apply for a permit and they've barely given they've siding,
Speaker 4: you know, John, what I was told is they just
Speaker 4: in permit fee. So far, they've raised thirty million dollars
Speaker 4: and just like a couple hundred people have gotten permits.
Speaker 4: When I was out there last week with siner Ron
Speaker 4: Johnson doing this investigation hearing, there was almost no houses
Speaker 4: being built. And when I talk to people, they said, well,
Speaker 4: if they are building the house, they got that permit
Speaker 4: before before things were burnt down. So I don't know
Speaker 4: if that's what you're hearing, but it's also thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4: And then that they've changed the rules on what you
Speaker 4: have to build, so it costs way more money to build,
Speaker 4: all right. And then they've ruined the insurance market, so
Speaker 4: the insurance never covers all the costs. So it's it's
Speaker 4: like it's like it's everybody that it's like the whole
Speaker 4: government's against the Palistates.
Speaker 1: And then there are people Senator, and I know you
Speaker 1: have to run in a minute. That's why I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask you one last question. And then there are
Speaker 1: people now pushing and you see this all over the
Speaker 1: country cradle to grave, womb to the tomb zoron Marxist
Speaker 1: Kami Mumdani politics. We see it in Seattle, we see
Speaker 1: it in Maine, even La Mayor bass is being challenged
Speaker 1: from the left. I mean, if she's if she's not
Speaker 1: left enough, I don't know. I mean, this is insanity
Speaker 1: to me. Nobody should die. If I was in call point,
Speaker 1: get out leave now. Well, a lot of people already have.
Speaker 4: Well you know when I when I became governor back
Speaker 4: in twenty January twenty eleventh, you know, very few people
Speaker 4: from California were moving. Actually nope, we had lost more
Speaker 4: people in twenty ten because the economy is so bad
Speaker 4: in Florida. So we add at one point seven million
Speaker 4: jobs down as governor. But I recruited people like you said,
Speaker 4: New York. It was easier in New York and New Jersey.
Speaker 1: You were, you were, It was hilarious. I saw you
Speaker 1: up there all the time. We became best friends.
Speaker 4: But I went to out to California. We ran ads
Speaker 4: for Perry and I ran ads out there. But now
Speaker 4: there's so many people leaving California and thinking about California
Speaker 4: is beautiful, but it's it's you know, unless you're wealthy,
Speaker 4: you can't afford to live out there, or you have
Speaker 4: to be really poor where they give you everything for free.
Speaker 4: So think about this. The taxes are so high. But
Speaker 4: their schools are not as good as Florida. The universities
Speaker 4: are not as good as Florida. The law enforcement, right,
Speaker 4: you know, they don't like their law enforcement. They want
Speaker 4: to defund the police. So Bath hates you know, you
Speaker 4: know she you know she's cut the you for the
Speaker 4: fire department. You realized that before the fire.
Speaker 1: That was a brilliant move to Senator. I'm going to
Speaker 1: keep my word and let you go at your schedule time.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. We appreciate you taking
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm grateful that you are my senator
Speaker 1: here in the Free State of Florida. Thank you, John.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word, and I want to
Speaker 1: just echo what I said earlier and what the Senator said.
Speaker 1: I feel so sorry for you and your family. I
Speaker 1: really do. My heart goes out to you. This is
Speaker 1: exactly what I try to warm my audience about. Do
Speaker 1: not put your faith, your hope, your trust, your belief
Speaker 1: in government to be to get anything right, especially out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I appreciate that, Sean. I mean one thing with
Speaker 5: Senator Scott said that really moves me in the wake
Speaker 5: of something like this. He said, where are they? Where's
Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom, Where's where? Where are our leaders?
Speaker 1: He's in Texas grand standing so he can make his
Speaker 1: run for president, that's where he.
Speaker 5: Was, Or in Brazil or on x with some you
Speaker 5: know adolescent Twitter stream while people are trying to figure
Speaker 5: out how to rebuild their lives.
Speaker 1: Is Adam Schiff out there doing what Rick Scott and
Speaker 1: Ron John are doing?
Speaker 5: No, and neither is Padilla. And we haven't heard hide
Speaker 5: nor hair from those guys.
Speaker 1: And like, wait a minute, they're Democrats, right, Aren't they
Speaker 1: supposed to be compassionate? Aren't they the ones that preach
Speaker 1: that they care the most, that they have a monopoly
Speaker 1: of compassion for people.
Speaker 3: It really is, you.
Speaker 5: Know, it's so fascinating about watching Gavin Newsom is there's
Speaker 5: this distance to him. It's almost, you know, I hate
Speaker 5: to say it's sociopathic. How he can you know, claim
Speaker 5: to be ready to lead the country when he's left
Speaker 5: his own citizens out to try He's not there where
Speaker 5: How many times have you been to the pala Fates.
Speaker 5: He's in Brazil getting climate change recognition and.
Speaker 1: It's really I'm a change And he doesn't practice simple
Speaker 1: you know, forestry science, and he doesn't have reservoirs. You
Speaker 1: know what his answer was on reservoirs and being empty
Speaker 1: and fire hydrants being emptied. Oh, you're going to have
Speaker 1: to ask local officials about that. That's not I'm not
Speaker 1: in charge of that. Where does the buck stop out
Speaker 1: in California? I would think with the governor.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a million gallons in that reservoir that weren't and
Speaker 5: it was empty. A million gallons they could have had
Speaker 5: of water.
Speaker 1: Well, I wonder how many homes could have been saved
Speaker 1: if they practiced the science of forestry, because you have
Speaker 1: predictable wildfires. They have a wildfire season and predictable Santa
Speaker 1: Ana wins that you know you have those every year too.
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. So they should have been prepared,
Speaker 1: shouldn't they have?
Speaker 5: I think so? I think so? And I heard something
Speaker 5: this morning. I don't know if it's confirmed yet, but
Speaker 5: now the state is claiming immunity for many wrongdoing responsibilities
Speaker 5: because supposedly they were unaware of that smoldering fire just
Speaker 5: after on January first, and yet it just came out.
Speaker 5: I read that they sent a state park representative to
Speaker 5: check it out that early that morning. So they're getting caught.
Speaker 5: I think there are these after fire reports and some
Speaker 5: of these reports that's coming out are really going to
Speaker 5: chefs in mine on all the negligives from both the
Speaker 5: state and local.
Speaker 1: John. I just mean this from the bottom of my
Speaker 1: heart for you and all the victims and the families
Speaker 1: that lost loved ones as well. In this. My heart
Speaker 1: goes out to you, man, it really does. This is
Speaker 1: an unmitigated financial disaster for most people that live there,
Speaker 1: and I'm so sorry. You have my deepest sympathies that
Speaker 1: you have to live through this hell as hell.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Sean. You've always been really good to me,
Speaker 5: so I appreciate it.

Speaker 1: our busy phones. We'll start in Miami, in the Free
Speaker 1: State of Florida. Charles on the Sean Hannity Show. What's up,
Speaker 1: Big Charles?
Speaker 3: How are you, sir Ah, I'm doing pretty good. Hey, Sean,
Speaker 3: you're having problems with your blankets. Maybe you ought to
Speaker 3: have them screenprints your name on them.
Speaker 1: No, it's not a matter of that. I have a
Speaker 1: problem that my name is on them. I have two
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.
Speaker 1: They're very close to their dad and I'm honored that
Speaker 1: they are and houses. So what they do is they say, Dad,
Speaker 1: can I have this? Well, what am I supposed to say?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: It makes it tough.
Speaker 1: Wait, I made It's not just tough, it's it's impossible
Speaker 1: for me to say no. I can't say no to
Speaker 1: my children on stuff like that. Now, if they ask
Speaker 1: me for something ridiculous, the answer is hell no. But
Speaker 1: you know they want a bubble cuddle blanket because they
Speaker 1: like it that much. It's theirs anyway, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3: Well, I lived in South America. I lived in Venezuela
Speaker 3: actually in the nineties into two thousand and I got
Speaker 3: out two thousand and five because it was a slow
Speaker 3: motion train, right. You watched them vote this guy in,
Speaker 3: and you're telling everybody, don't vote for him, don't vote
Speaker 3: for him again, don't do this, don't do that. And
Speaker 3: they kept doing it. And my neighbor's property got confiscated
Speaker 3: by the government. He was an Englishman, had a cattle ranch,
Speaker 3: and I tried to get him to confiscate mine because
Speaker 3: the World Court paid him out of Petroleu State Venezuela.
Speaker 3: I think he got two point three million dollars for
Speaker 3: property worth three hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: Right. Well, I mean, I'm just going to tell you
Speaker 1: we've seen you look at Venezuela, Latin America one of
Speaker 1: the richest countries and incomes Hugo Chavez, and now it's
Speaker 1: one of the poorest countries and it continues under Maduro.
Speaker 1: It's sad. I mean, I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: people I know the fled Castro's Cuba, and I've met
Speaker 1: with them, I've sat with them, They've told me their
Speaker 1: stories and the same thing there. I mean, Cuba should
Speaker 1: be I mean, it should be one of the richest
Speaker 1: islands around. It's so close in proximity to the US.
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of smart people in Cuba
Speaker 1: said I'm out of here, and they came to America
Speaker 1: and having come from oppression and tyranny and even you know,
Speaker 1: threats against their lives and confiscation and property and all
Speaker 1: that they've experienced. You know, I find that the people
Speaker 1: that live under those systems that come here often appreciate
Speaker 1: the gift of liberty and freedom and the American dream
Speaker 1: more than Americans, do we take for granted that which
Speaker 1: was given us as our birthright, we take it for granted.
Speaker 1: The people that lived under different systems that come here,
Speaker 1: they seem to appreciate it more, which is often the case.
Speaker 3: Well, you also run into the ones that have been
Speaker 3: so indoctrinated, some of the Cubans that are here having
Speaker 3: so indoctrinated that they always want to tell on their
Speaker 3: neighbors about doing this or doing that, because that's what
Speaker 3: they do to survive in Cuba.
