But we turn our attention to 76 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 8: Bogolusa for a different reason today, and that is because 77 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 8: the mayor there is corrupt and awful and evil and terrible. 78 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 8: The story from WVUE TV in New Orleans. 79 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 10: For about a half dozen troopers went into the city 80 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 10: hall annex and they are executing search warrants around Bogolusa 81 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 10: and this wide ranging scheme.

Stop hiring for the wrong reasons. 175 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 8: Rick Caruso is a real estate developer in Los Angeles. 176 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 3: And Caruso. 177 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 8: Caruso should have been leading Los Angeles, but instead Karen 178 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 8: Bassi is Karen vass is now in Ghana on a junket. 179 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 8: You know, they take these trade trips as if that 180 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 8: ever brings any business, it doesn't Karen Bass because she 181 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 8: qualifies as a dumb black woman the three things that 182 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 8: Joe Biden had to have in his vice president. That 183 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 8: was his first choice to be his vice president, but 184 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 8: there was all this video of her praising for deel 185 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 8: Castro and her avowed communists past. So instead the congressman 186 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 8: then ran for the Senate and then became the governor 187 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 8: of Los Angeles. 188 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, because she'll be fine there. 189 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,119 Speaker 8: Here is Rick Caruso talking on Fox eleven Los Angeles 190 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 8: about the fact that the mayor Karen Bass is out 191 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 8: of the country and there's no water at the fire hydrants. 192 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 15: They can't tide a fire without water and the resources 193 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 15: that are needed. Everybody knew these winds were coming, So 194 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 15: the other question has to be, you know, we're all 195 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 15: the things in place to try to, you know again, 196 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 15: mitigate the damage here. But the real issue to me 197 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 15: is twofold. We've had decades to go remove the brush 198 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 15: in these hills that spread so quickly. And the second 199 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 15: is we've got to have water. And my understanding is 200 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 15: the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a 201 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 15: timely manner to keep the hydrants gone. So that's a failure, 202 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 15: whether i'm DWP's part or another city agency. But this 203 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 15: is basic stuff. This isn't high science here, and it's 204 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 15: all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of. 205 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 15: All of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that. 206 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 16: That isn't that was going to be My next question 207 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 16: is why aren't why isn't there water in the fire hydrants? 208 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense. 209 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 15: You're right, that's a good question, and I think he 210 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 15: should start asking why don't you call the mayor who's 211 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 15: out of the country and ask her and get an 212 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 15: answer from her. 213 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 16: Well, they say, on her way back, and that would 214 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 16: be a great question to ask her tomorrow if she's 215 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 16: at this briefing at eight o'clock in the morning, Because 216 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 16: I think there's a lot of people that are outraged 217 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 16: by that fact tonight when they look at as scenes 218 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 16: like this at businesses that people have worked really, really 219 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 16: really hard to build in homes that people's entire livelihoods 220 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 16: are going up in flames tonight. 221 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 8: I'm not against cutting government budgets where they're wasteful, but 222 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 8: Karen Bass cut the fire department about twenty million dollars. 223 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 8: Do you think she cut her travel budget? 224 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: No, she didn't. 225 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 8: ABC News ABC seven News in Los Angeles tells the 226 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 8: story of a woman fighting to protect her elderly parents 227 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 8: home from the fire. Their insurance company canceled their fire insurance. 228 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: Just before the fire started. They're going to lose their home. 229 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 3: You decided not to leave. 230 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 14: I know, I'm not supposed to be here, but this 231 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 14: is my parents' home. 232 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: I know the feeling. 233 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 14: And they just lost They got canceled from their fire insurance. 234 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: So they're dealing with this. 235 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 14: They're ninety years. 236 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 17: Old and. 237 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 14: Through the state of California because of this, they're ninety 238 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 14: years old that they've had They've lived in this house 239 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 14: for seventy five years and they've had the same insurance 240 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 14: and these insurance people decided to cancel their fire and 241 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 14: we're going through this and it just happened and they 242 00:15:53,960 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 14: have no fire insurance. So thank you California insurance companies 243 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 14: supporting residents who pay Texas and loved California, and they 244 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 14: wonder why people leave California. 245 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: First and foremost, you did hit your parents out safely. 246 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: I live in Sir Madre and my parents are in 247 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: Sir Madre. 248 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 16: But and now you know that it is under evacuation 249 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 16: as well north of Siera Martina Boulevard. 250 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, snut here you've got dumb Michael Berry show. 251 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 8: Our listeners on KFY in Lobock, Texas Streets cool home 252 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 8: to Texas Tech University and so much more. Will know 253 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 8: that that song was written by the great Mac Davis, 254 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 8: who wrote and sang and made popular. Said a wonderful 255 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 8: song about growing up in love Itock. He thought happiness 256 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 8: was Lovebock, Texas. In his rearview mirror. Mama kept calling 257 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 8: him home, kept calling him home, but and he came 258 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 8: to understand that Hubbock, Lubbock was home. There's so many stories, 259 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 8: myself included the people who grew up in a small 260 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 8: town and couldn't wait. 261 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: To get out. You're young, you want the. 262 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 8: Bright lights in the big city and the action man, 263 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 8: the action. And then as you get older, you slow 264 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 8: down and you have your own kids, and you realize 265 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 8: the big cities where the crime's at, big cities, where 266 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 8: the congestion, traffic in the hassles are at the big 267 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 8: cities where the stress is at. And that's even more 268 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 8: true today because today you can fully function as an 269 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 8: engaged human being in most sectors of our enomy, not all, 270 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 8: and still live in the small town. 271 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 3: You can't be a cop. You want to be on 272 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 3: the big city. 273 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 8: Department, or a firefighter, or many things that require you 274 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 8: to be present. But if you are like many, many people, 275 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 8: more than ever before, a person who basically talks into 276 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 8: a microphone taps into a computer, you don't have to 277 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 8: be in downtown La, New York, Houston any longer you can. 278 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 8: You can live wherever you want. So we were talking 279 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 8: about Los Angeles and the fires there, and I told 280 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 8: the story yesterday. In the early eighties, California was the 281 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 8: hottest spot in America. Everybody wanted to move to California. 282 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 8: It's where the pretty people were in the pretty beaches, Hollywood, 283 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 8: the Pacific Coast Highway, that pch If you've never driven that, 284 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 8: it's a thing of beauty. 285 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 3: The Canyon, Oh, what a glorious drive. 286 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 8: Southern California, Northern California, and the wonderful differences between San 287 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 8: Diego Los Angeles. If you never saw San Francisco before 288 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 8: it went to hell, you can't imagine what a glorious 289 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 8: city it was. Gerard Delli I mean Jewish delis Gerard 290 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 8: Delli architecture. Oh sure, we all know what it was 291 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 8: known for, but there was so much more to San Francisco. Well, 292 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 8: bad policies from people like Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass and 293 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris and Moonbean Brown and Willie Brown have destroyed 294 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 8: that state and that doesn't make me happy. We need 295 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 8: a strong California. Sadly many of us have taken to 296 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 8: rooting against California. I hear this daily because they want 297 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 8: to see it fail, to see socialism fail, to see 298 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 8: white liberalism fail. 299 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 3: And that's what it is. That's what it is. 300 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 8: Blacks provided the muscle for the Democrats, but it's white 301 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 8: liberalism running the show. 302 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 3: Never forget that. 303 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris is owned and operated by white liberals, not blacks. 304 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 8: She had to play black now. She slept with Willie 305 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 8: Brown so she could come up through that portion of 306 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 8: the power structure. But it's the white liberals who fund 307 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 8: her and support her. In fact, she's the white liberals dream. 308 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 8: She's a woman who can pretend to be black and Indian. 309 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 8: Don't underestimate the influence of Indians in the state of California. 310 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 8: Silicon Valley because almost every major Silicon Valley company has 311 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 8: as a CEO a wealthy Indian. But what we've seen 312 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 8: my wife was Secretary of State of Texas in twenty 313 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 8: fourteen early fifteen, and she ran the election and she 314 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 8: did economic development, that's what the secretary of state Texas 315 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 8: secretary of state does, and relations with Mexico, and she 316 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 8: spent a lot of her time recruiting California companies to 317 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 8: come to Texas. At the time, Elon Musk was sniffing 318 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 8: around and she said, I think he's going to move 319 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 8: his operations to Texas. And I said, there is no 320 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 8: chance that Tesla will be in Texas. Boy was I 321 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 8: ever wrong. Well, now this is how far we've come 322 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 8: on that end of the spectrum. Mark Zuckerberg of Amazon, 323 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 8: we talked about this yesterday. They're doing away with the 324 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 8: fact checkers. Well now he says he's moving his trust 325 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 8: and safety team out of California to Texas. 326 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: I never would have believed this. 327 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 18: We're going to move our trust and safety and content 328 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 18: moderation teams out of California, and our US based content 329 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 18: review is going to be based in Texas. As we 330 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 18: work to promote free expression. I think that will help 331 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 18: us build trust to do this work in places where 332 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 18: there is less concern about the bias of our teams. 333 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 8: This is a guy desperate to run from all the 334 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 8: crimes and failures of Facebook over the last twenty years. 335 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 8: I believe Mark Zuckerberg has rotten to his core. I do, 336 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 8: But I also believe that he is a survivor and 337 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 8: he recognizes, like a rat and leaving a sinking ship, 338 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 8: that he doesn't want to drown in the sea of 339 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 8: insanity that he allowed himself to get sucked into. 340 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 3: I honestly don't know where. 341 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 8: Mark Zuckerberg started mentally politically. I don't think he had 342 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 8: of you just wanted to build this company. I don't 343 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 8: fault a guy for that. I think somewhere along the way, 344 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 8: everybody he ran into at every conference wanted the DEI wanted, 345 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 8: the woe wanted, and I think in order to please them, 346 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 8: he became that and at some point that's who he was. 347 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 8: I'm not letting him off the hook. That's who he was, 348 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 8: and he did a lot of damage in this country, 349 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 8: a lot. You can't blame the FBI for that. You've 350 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 8: got to blame him as the man responsible. But boy, 351 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 8: Oh boy. He is making the left angry. The woke 352 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 8: crowd is furious because he went woke but doesn't want 353 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 8: to go broke. He is admitting the error of his 354 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 8: ways and moving the operation to Texas people. I thought 355 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 8: Elon was crazy when he did that. Now it turns 356 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 8: out he was the Bellweather. We are seeing high tech companies, 357 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 8: social media companies, biomedical companies fleeing California headed for Texas. 358 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 2: It's insane. 359 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 3: I never would have believed it.
