1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: There is a narrative that is happening right now, and

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: that is that you and the people in California, specifically

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: those that are affected by these wildfires, should not be

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: talking about politics. Should not be talking about holding politicians

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: accountable because there's just too much suffering going on. Should

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: not be looking at the facts of what actually happened

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: with these wildfires, why they happened, and was their government

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: mismanagement because if you do that, well, you're not a

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: very nice person.

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: The media, by the way, is not asking questions.

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: And I tweeted out something earlier today that a lot

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: of people got angry over on the left, and I'm

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: going to read you the tweet right now because I

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: think it's actually an important one. And what I said

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: was is I said, if Ron DeSantis, we're the governor

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: and just one fire hydrant ran out of water during

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: a massive fire, the media would call it hydrant gait

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: and demand a congressional investigation the truth. They would also

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: be blaming DeSantis or Trump or anybody else in this

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: situation if they were in charge in California with people's deaths,

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: and they would be saying people are dying, and they

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: would be demanding that they resign.

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: But what is the media doing right now?

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: The media is doing everything they can to not have

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: that conversation.

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: I'll give you a great example.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau, who has nothing to do with California, he

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: is not an American leader, was on Jake Tapper's show.

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: And this just shows you how much Jake Tapper sucks

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: at his job, Like, why on the hell would you

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: have him on.

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: To talk about the wildfires.

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: This is literally a leader who just resigned in another country,

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: and as there are five major wildfires that are that

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: are zero percent contained in Los Angeles and and this

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: is massive, like looks like a nuclear destruction of this

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: beautiful place. He has on Trudeau, a leader in Canada

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: who's disgraced, who has just resigned, and has a conversation

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: with him about the wildfires. It makes no sense except

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: for the fact that you don't want to hold the

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: people accountable that made the decisions that allowed for this

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: to happen.

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Now, I want to be clear, I don't think that.

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: I should hold back at all, and I don't think

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I should wait for the fires to go out before

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: I start asking questions. I think right now is the

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: time to start asking those questions and most importantly, demanding answers,

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: because this is exactly how democrats get away with this.

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: No one's willing to point the finger and ask questions

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: and place blame, and they protect all these leaders at

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: all costs, every single time something happens. And if you

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: don't believe me, look at what happened when we pulled

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan.

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: No one was fired.

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: When we pulled out of Afghanistan, the disaster that cost

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: people their lives, no one was fired. After we saw

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: the incompetency play out on TV live on TV. Nobody

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon was fired. Nobody at the State Department,

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: no one at the White House. No one was held

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: accountable for that. And my point is, when there are

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: things that are happening, it is okay to ask questions

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: while they're happening, while the spotlight is on what's happening.

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: You do not wait till the spotlight moves to another story.

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: You ask questions. Now, CNN doing everything they can, however,

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: to protect those in charge. So like, all right, let's

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: bring out a guy from Canada that has no say

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: so in this Who's disgrace, and let's ask him about

68
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: the wildfires and you want to know, by the way,

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: what he said exactly what I would expect from Trudeau.

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: They're doing exactly what Democrats in California are doing right

71
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: now that are in charge. They're blaming these fires, by

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the way, not on arsonists. And we know now that

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: some of these fires were in fact started by arsonists.

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: We have seen multiple calls come into nine to one

75
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: of people setting fires in California over the last several days.

76
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: It's it's not a conspiracy theory, it's a reality. No

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: one wants to talk about that because what.

78
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Do they want to blame. They want to blame climate change.

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: And why did they have Trudeau on CNN while there's

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: these five major wildfires that are destroying LA and some

81
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: of them were arson why did.

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: They have them on?

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: Because they want to blame somebody else. They don't want

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: to blame the Democrats. They want to blame climate change,

85
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: which by default means blame Republicans.

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: Before I get into the funeral, and before I get

87
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 3: into what's going on with you back in your home country,

88
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: I do want to ask you know, our country in

89
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: the world really is watching these horrible fires in Los Angeles.

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: Canada has a lot of experience with similar conflagrations. I

91
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: know that you have been offering resources to the people

92
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: of California and Los Angeles.

93
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: What advice could you offer them?

94
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: Well, I think unfortunately, over the past years, we've seen

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 4: it get far worse, and we've seen wildfire is increasingly

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: encroaching on urban areas, and that's an interface fire where

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: we're having to train up more local municipal firefighters to

98
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: deal with wildfires in a way that we never had before.

99
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: I've been back and forth texting with Governor Newsom. We've

100
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: offered a tremendous amount of equipment they're already accepting. There's expertise,

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: there's things that we're having to do to deal with

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: together as we of course respond to these fires, but

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: also know that climate change means they're going to get

104
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: steadily worse, and we have to keep stepping up on

105
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: fighting climate change too.

106
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: A lot of people out there.

107
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: Might say, what does climate change have to do with this?

108
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: Explain Well, when the summers get drier, when weather gets hotter,

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: when weather patterns shift, Communities that were built in a

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 4: place that you never saw fires are suddenly seeing fires

111
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 4: much more frequently. There's a shift in everything that means

112
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: even what we see now is going to just get

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: worse and worse and worse over the coming decades if

114
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: we're not serious about our emissions and looking for ways

115
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: to protect our future generations.

116
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable the propaganda right there coming from CNN.

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: As all this has happened, they're not asking any questions now,

118
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: the questions that CNN should be asking, by the way,

119
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: on behalf of the American people is the same question

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: that was asked of Governor Newsom when a woman wearing

121
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: a mask ran up to Gavin Newsom on the streets

122
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: when she saw him, and she said this to Gavin Newsom,

123
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: Listen carefully. This is a citizen. I don't know if

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: she's conservative or liberal. I don't care. She is an

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: American citizen. She's a citizen in California. She's a citizen

126
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: there where this where the fires are happening, and she

127
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: sees the governor on the street. And listen to what

128
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: she says. This is what the media should be doing. Governor,

129
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: you got a second.

130
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 5: Governor.

131
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: Governor, I live here.

132
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 5: Governor, that was my daughter's school.

133
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 6: Governor, please tell me where you're gonna I'm not going

134
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 6: to hurt on my promise.

135
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 7: I'm literally talking to the President right now to specifically

136
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 7: answer the question of what we can do.

137
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: For you and your daughter? Can I hear it? Can

138
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: I hear your call? Because I don't believe it? I'm sorry?

139
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: Can I there's literally I've tried five times. That's why

140
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm walking around to me. Why is the President not

141
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: taking your call? Because it's not going through? Why I

142
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: have to get cell service?

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 8: Let's get it, let's get it. I want to be

144
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 8: here when you call the President.

145
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: I appreciate I'm doing that right now, and it's to

146
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: immediately get reimbursements, individual.

147
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Assistance, and to help you on with death is looking

148
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: for I'm so sorry, especially for your daughter.

149
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: I have four kids.

150
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 6: Everyone who went to school there, they lost their homes.

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: They lost two homes because they were living in one

152
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: and building another.

153
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 8: Cather, please tell me, tell me what are you going

154
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 8: to do with the president.

155
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: Right now, we're getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild.

156
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: Why is there no daughter in the hydrantscopy? That's all? Literally?

157
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: Is it going to be different next time? It has

158
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: to be has to be. What are you going to

159
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: do to fill the hydrants? I would fill them up personally.

160
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: And you know that I.

161
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 9: Would fill up the hydrants myself, but.

162
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: Would you do that? I wouldn't do whatever I can,

163
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: but you're not.

164
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 9: I see the Do you know there's water dripping over there?

165
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 6: Governor?

166
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: There's water coming out there? You can use it. I

167
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: appreciate it.

168
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to make the call to address everything I

169
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: can right now, including making sure people.

170
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: To make sure you can. Can I have an opportunity

171
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: to at least tell people you're doing what you're saying

172
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: you're doing. Can somebody have a contact? Can I have

173
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: your contact right now?

174
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: This is a woman on the streets that doesn't believe

175
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: that the governor's doing his job.

176
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: Why was there no water in the hydrance? I'm trying

177
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: to figure that out.

178
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: The questions that should be asked, and I put out

179
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: a tweet with this the questions they should be asked,

180
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: and many of them you can answer. You just have

181
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: to look at their policies. Why was there not water

182
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: in the hide well? Probably because they didn't fill up

183
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: the reservoirs. And why do they not fill up the

184
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: reservoirs because they destroyed dams intentionally and they decide to

185
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: push water into the ocean, and they chose smelt fish

186
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: over humans. What's even more shocking about what we're witnessing

187
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: in California is the media says now is not the

188
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: time to ask these questions. The reality is, yes, it is.

189
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: They destroyed the dams intentionally. They refuse to do controlled

190
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: burns intentionally, They refused to do forest management intentionally, they

191
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: refuse to clear dead trees and brush intentionally. And they're

192
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: gay fire chief, which, by the way, I don't care

193
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: that she's gay. What I do care about is that

194
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: the gay fire chief prioritize being gay and diversity equity

195
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: inclusion over protecting people's lives, many of.

196
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: Them, by the way, which I'm sure are gay.

197
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: That's the irony in all this, Like the I don't

198
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: care if you're gay fire chief, I don't care.

199
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: I care that you.

200
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Thought it was your job to have a three year

201
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: plan to make sure you get a bunch of trends

202
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: and gay and all the DEI hiring in there, instead

203
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: of understanding that your job.

204
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: Is to fight fires. That's what I care about.

205
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, the fiery destruction of people's homes and

206
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: their lives in Malibu is a direct result of politics.

207
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: It is a direct result of the politicians in charge

208
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and California. And by the way, if

209
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna be honest about this, they're all Democrats. But

210
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: the media says, now is not the time. So a

211
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: woman has to run up to the governor and do

212
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: her job. And then the media says, no, no, We're

213
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: going to talk to Trudeau, a guy from Canada that's disgraced,

214
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: and he's going to lecture us about reducing our missions.

215
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Remember Representative Eric Swalwell who slept with a Chinese spy,

216
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: Feng Fang bang bang.

217
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: Remember that guy.

218
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, MSNBC putting him on TV to talk about this.

219
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: What did he say? Listen carefully.

220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 6: You are both from northern California, and the trauma and

221
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 6: the scars and the tragic earthquakes and fires of the

222
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 6: early nineties are still everywhere you look. It takes not

223
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 6: months or years, but it can take decades to completely

224
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 6: rebuild from catastrophes like this. What can you promise the

225
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 6: people of California in terms of being able to obtain

226
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 6: fire insurance, something that was difficult before this tastrophe.

227
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 8: So I promise, first and foremost to be compassionate and

228
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 8: to be an adult about this, and to ignore people

229
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 8: who have conducted themselves like they belong at the kids

230
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 8: table on this, who are in elected office, but to

231
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 8: focus on the immediate needs. Where are your kids going

232
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,359
Speaker 8: to go to school? How do you get the resources

233
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 8: you need to rebuild? What's the reimbursonment to be for

234
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 8: local communities from the federal government so that all of

235
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 8: the infrastructure can be built immediately. And then of course

236
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 8: the questions that need to be answered is to you know,

237
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 8: what can we do in the future to make sure

238
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 8: the response is even better. But in many ways this

239
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 8: is an act of God. Eighty to ninety mile per

240
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 8: hour winds in January in southern California is unseasonable and unpredictable.

241
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 8: But we always can be better in our emergency response.

242
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 8: But right now it's not a time, you know, I

243
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 8: think for finger pointing.

244
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: It's a time to think.

245
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 8: The firefighters, the police officers, the first responders, and the

246
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 8: community and then act as quickly as we can to

247
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 8: get people hopefully back to what they felt us home.

248
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: Translation, we don't want any finger pointing right now, because

249
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: we know the fingers will be pointing.

250
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: At us and in our policies. That's what we know.

251
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: So let's go through the facts of why this was preventable.

252
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: These southern California fires were preventable tragedy full stop. You

253
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: want to know how bad it is in California when

254
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: it comes to arsonists. There were more than thirteen thousand,

255
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: nine hundred and nine fires started by homeless individuals last

256
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: year alone in California. Did you know that they knew

257
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: this was a real chance that this could happen. They

258
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: knew it was a real problem. They knew that if

259
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: these Santa Ana wins shifted in the right direction, that

260
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: what would happen.

261
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: Here is exactly what was going to happen.

262
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: And what did they decide to do because they're obsessed with,

263
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, like some little random fish or some bird.

264
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: They had zero forest management. Not only did they have

265
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: zero forest management, the mayor out there cut the fire

266
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: department funding by seventeen million plus dollars. Firefighters, by the way,

267
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: in California were fired for not getting vaccinated because that

268
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: mattered more than saving people's lives. California launched a DEI

269
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: Bureau instead of focusing on training because they cared more

270
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: about if a trainee was shooting water out of a

271
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: hose than they did if it was the most qualified

272
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: person to be a fireman or woman.

273
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: There was no water in the fire hydrants.

274
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: And the mayor and the governor knows this because California

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: purposely didn't fill their reservoirs like they should have to

276
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: prepare for this type of fire, which they had been

277
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: warned about for years. What they did do, though, is

278
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: every time they had a chance to go woke, they

279
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: took it. You may not know this, but they were

280
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: cheering themselves on in liberal California, the leaders, the mayor,

281
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: the fire chief who's gay, the governor. Because in La

282
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: they gave firefighting equipment to Ukraine in twenty twenty two.

283
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: You know what we saw in video yesterday. We saw

284
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: firemen using women's purses.

285
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: This is not a.

286
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: Joke to fill up water from their truck, run over

287
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: to little fires and dump water out of persons.

288
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: They didn't have buckets.

289
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: You think that firefighting equipment they gave to Ukraine in

290
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two could have been used in this massive fire.

291
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out and the way Lemon say yes,

292
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: And you want to know how many warnings there were

293
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: about these fires. Big insurance companies left California due to

294
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: two things. Number one, over regulation and number two poor

295
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: fire prevention. Slash management is how they described it. Big

296
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: insurance companies looked at these policies as woke agenda policies,

297
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: and they said, yeah, this didn't make any sense because

298
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: you guys aren't doing any forestry management. You aren't doing

299
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: control burns, you're not clearing brush. You guys are sitting

300
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: there with all the kinneling you can possibly create for.

301
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: Something like this to happen.

302
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: So big insurance companies, who don't necessarily play politics, just

303
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: looked at the scenario that was created by the radical

304
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: lefties in California and they said, we're out of here.

305
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Which goes back to the final point that I made

306
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: earlier today. Not everything is a conspiracy. It's called liberal incompetent.

307
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: I want to say that again, not everything is a conspiracy.

308
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: A lot of this can be simply explained by calling

309
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: it what it is, and that is liberal incompetence. So

310
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: as you sit there and you look at this and

311
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: you say, well, maybe now's not the time to talk

312
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: about it, absolutely now is the time to talk about it.

313
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: These fires that are ravaging Los Angeles are estimated cause

314
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: over fifty billion in damages. By the way, maybe we

315
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: should stop sending money to Ukraine right now when the

316
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,479
Speaker 1: people who are American citizens need this money to rebuild

317
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: their lives in California. The other reason why now is

318
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: the time to talk about is because it actually I'm

319
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest it this is me off that

320
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: as a taxpayer, now I got to pay and it's

321
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna be billions and billions of dollars. We're gonna give

322
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: a bail out to California because of their incompetency, and

323
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a huge check that's going to be

324
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: written because of their incompetency, and you and I as taxpayers,

325
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: are going to pay for it.

326
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: Is going to cost us.

327
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Now when you take that money, By the way, we're

328
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: going to have to borrow that money because we don't

329
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: have the money because we have trillions in debts. So

330
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: we're going to borrow that money. We're going to pay

331
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: interest on that money, and it's going to put us

332
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: into even more debt. And the people were rewarding for

333
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: their incompetency are people just like the Los Angeles Mayor

334
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: Karen Bass, who was on a trip to Ghana when

335
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: the fire engulfed large portions of the city. The same

336
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: woman the cut nearly twenty million from the city's budget

337
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: for fire services for the current fiscal year, and now

338
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: it's going to cost us billions of dollars. By the way,

339
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: just so you understand the politics of this, the mayor

340
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, Miss Bass, proposed even higher cuts to

341
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: fire than what was accepted at the end at her

342
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: west Side current proposal in April of twenty twenty four,

343
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: Bass purportedly wanted twenty three million in cuts to the

344
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: fire department, quote sick magnificantly. The proposal, describe by Bass

345
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: as a reset, included sixty five million and cuts to

346
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: her signature inside Safe Homelessness program.

347
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: So we're spending more on that than we're spending on

348
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: fire prevention.

349
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: That would be an increase of more than one hundred

350
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: and thirty eight million for the Los Angeles Police Department

351
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: and a decrease of twenty three million for the LA

352
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Fire Department. Well, you get what you pay for, folks.

353
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: There's also another aspect to this whole conversation, that is, right,

354
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: when bad things happen in theory. People come together, right,

355
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: you have heroes that come out. We hear sad stories

356
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: about people. There's a man that died with a water

357
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: hose in his hand trying to save his own house.

358
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: You see people that have saved like baby Deer.

359
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: In the last couple of hours that have come out

360
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: on TV, We've seen people that have been pushing the

361
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: elderly from old folks homes away from the blaze as

362
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: embers are flying through the air on the street. Right,

363
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: there's heroes that come out of this. But you also

364
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: have a problem in La. You have a breakdown in

365
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: society that's happening before our very eyes. There are a

366
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: lot of people now that are taking advantage of this opportunity.

367
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Is looters are coming out in large numbers. Now, why

368
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: would that happen? I can tell exactly why. Because you

369
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: have a godless, lawless society in La. I'm going to

370
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: say that again because I didn't say it by accident,

371
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: and there's people to say, well, Ben, that's just me

372
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: to say that right now, No, it's not. This is

373
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: exactly when you have this conversation. There is godlessness and lawlessness.

374
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: In La. They don't prosecute people for breaking into stores.

375
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: We've seen this. We look at all the stores in

376
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: California that keep closing. They have to lock up everything

377
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: at CBS and Walgreens because everything people walk in and steal.

378
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: We've seen the videos of people walking into stores and

379
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: just grab whatever the hell they want. They walk out,

380
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: and they're not prosecuted because if it's under nine hundred

381
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: and something dollars, they don't care out there. And now

382
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the La County District Attorney is

383
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: issuing quota warning to potential looters.

384
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: Well, you better not do that.

385
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: You created a society bro where you didn't prosecute people

386
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: for stealing in broad daylight in the stores, and you

387
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: let them go because of bail reform in prison reform,

388
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: and you did this. So now instead of people saying

389
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: like hey, everybody, chill out, no stealing, we'll tell people.

390
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: Let's try to say we lives. There's looters out there,

391
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: like hey man, this is ours for the take, and

392
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: let's go get it. Let's get into break into city.

393
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: These nights homes are going to burn down anyway, right,

394
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: there's justification for it. Hell, there's probably be like, oh

395
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: the lord bless me during that fire. I got me

396
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: a big screen TV, a couple of laptops, some iPads,

397
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: got me some guns, stole me some furniture. I got

398
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: some good stuff. The Lord blessed me. The house goun

399
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: burned out. Anyway, right there, I can hear the justification

400
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: of the criminals that are involved in this. And now

401
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: Nathan Hutcham, Hutchman or whatever the hell's name is, the

402
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: LA County District Attorney is out there on TV, which also,

403
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: by the way, makes me laugh. Do you think there's

404
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of people in LA that are looting right

405
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: now that are watching you on TV? No, because they're

406
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: out there looting. It's like, well, we're going to tell

407
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: them they better not loot. Good luck with that, bro.

408
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: You create a society where no one's out accountable for

409
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: any of their actions. In LA, you can be an illegal,

410
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: you can be homeless, you can be a squatter. So

411
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: the worst squatting we've seen of houses in the country

412
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: are coming out of LA.

413
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: You can walk into.

414
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: A CBS at Walgreens, or a department store, a Saxo

415
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Fifth Avenue, a Macy's, whatever it is, and you can

416
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: steal whatever the hell you want, and you're not gonna

417
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: be prosecuted. You created a lawless environment where now you're shocked,

418
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: and I think these Hollywood people are like truly shocked,

419
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: like they cannot believe that people are just stealing right

420
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: now and trying to steal during this time. I totally

421
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: can It makes complete sense to me. Every day you

422
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: let them get away with it. This is the big one,

423
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: this is the Super Bowl. Go into anyhow, steal whatever

424
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: the hell you want. And now they're like, well, you

425
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: can't do that. Now you're drawing the line. Listen to him,

426
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: plead with the criminals, Please don't do this.

427
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 9: Nathan, Why was it important for you to put out

428
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 9: to the world that Instagram.

429
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: You know, you have a very big job right now.

430
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 9: We watched you earlier on your news conference talking about looters.

431
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 9: You're going to take a very heavy hand when it

432
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 9: comes to that. But maybe sharing I guess that it's

433
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 9: affecting everybody, including you and your family.

434
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 7: So there's I thought it was very important to make

435
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 7: it clear that I was there, I was a bearing

436
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 7: witness right in the middle of the fire zone, that

437
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 7: it affected my sister, you know, her entire family. I've

438
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 7: personally been evacuated along with thousands of others. There's over

439
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 7: one hundred and eighty thousand people who have been evacuated

440
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 7: in Los Angeles County.

441
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: And I want to also make.

442
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 7: Clear to anyone who was thinking about taking advantage of

443
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 7: it for their own personal illegal profit, and those looters,

444
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 7: those scammers, those people who are going to do praying

445
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 7: on vulnerable people who are looking to rebuild their lives,

446
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 7: that they will actually be arrested, they will be prosecuted,

447
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 7: and we will seek maximum punishment against that. Those people

448
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 7: who want to take advantage of this tragedy are despicable,

449
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 7: and I wanted to say in fair warning out to

450
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 7: them right now so there's no misunderstanding about how they

451
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 7: will be treated if and when they get caught, prosecuted

452
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 7: and punished.

453
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: I don't I'm sorry, Like, I don't believe you.

454
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: If I'm one of these criminals out there, I'm laughing

455
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: in your face because I'm like, dude, you guys can't

456
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: even put out a fire. You can't even get water

457
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: into hoses. You guys can't even do that. Like, do

458
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: you really think right now if you are a professional

459
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: louter or an amateur out there, you are worried about

460
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: what that DA prosecutor just said. I'll go to another example.

461
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Let's go back and again. It just signals the reality.

462
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, she boasted about

463
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: being the first female and LGBTQ fire chief in the

464
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: LA Fire Department.

465
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: And what did she do.

466
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: She promote a culture of DEI in her hiring priority

467
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: in a three she called it a three year initiative.

468
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: A three year initiative, she said she wanted to create

469
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: a supporting and promoting a culture that values diversity, inclusion,

470
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: equity while striving to meet and exceed the expectations of

471
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: the communities. As Chief Crowley's priorities, you get what you

472
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: pay for. You push all this woke ideology and this

473
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: is what you get. And by the way, Joe Biden

474
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: just authorized five hundred million in aid to California and

475
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: who lost everything in these fires? Just kidding, just kidding, Sorry,

476
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: that was for Ukraine. My bad so far. Joe Biden

477
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: is not guaranteed any certain dollar amount of aid to Californias.

478
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: That could change. But the time I'm taping this, that's

479
00:24:58,760 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: what's going on.

480
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: We had time to.

481
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: Give another five hundred million in a to Ukraine, not California,

482
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: but to Ukraine. Here's something else you might want to know.

483
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: We finally have a clip of the President of the

484
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: United States of America. I'm going to play this for

485
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: you because it just came in. This just came in.

486
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: Here is Joe Biden. I'm going to hear this with

487
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: you right now for the first time today.

488
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 10: For Secretary of Defense also authorized five hundred wildfire ground

489
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 10: cleary personnel from the Defense Department, and I've directed the

490
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 10: Department to continue working with covenduson to identify additional resources

491
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 10: that can be provided for public safety and security. And

492
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 10: we've secured additional firefighters and firefighting aircraft from our ally

493
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 10: and Canada as well. I also want everyone in southern

494
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 10: California to know we're going.

495
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 2: To keep at it. We're sticking with this.

496
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 10: We expect there may be a temporary break in the winds,

497
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 10: but in some areas the winds are likely to continue

498
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 10: well in the next week, and so we're going to

499
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 10: continue to sending everything, literally every resource we can find

500
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 10: that's appropriate to help the governor and the first responders. Second,

501
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 10: we're focus on helping people who have been displaced where

502
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 10: in many cases lost everything. You've reported on you're seeing

503
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 10: the homes burned to the ground, whole areas have burned

504
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 10: to the ground, large areas. They've been displaced, and they've

505
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 10: lost everything. As I said, since the fire started, FEMA

506
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 10: has been working with state the state to help residents

507
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 10: get sheltered, groceries, prescription and other critical goods like baby formula.

508
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 10: We're also sent FEMA Director Criswell to Los Angeles to

509
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 10: manage our response on the ground. She was supposed to

510
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 10: be on this call, but we have a deputy here

511
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 10: because she is out in the field with the governor

512
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 10: right now surveying what's going on.

513
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 2: This guy's no clue what's going on. Quote. I want

514
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: everyone's out of California to know we're going to keep

515
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: at it. We're staying with this. Like what is that?

516
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: What does that even mean? Like, we're gonna.

517
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: Stick with it, boys, We're gonna We're gonna stick with it,

518
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: letting the fires be zero percent contained. Like I'm being serious,

519
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: what does that actually mean? Pacific Palisades property owner went

520
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: on TV earlier today. His name is Steve Bardak, and

521
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: you know what he said. He said, we as residents

522
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: we made a mistake. Listen, I think.

523
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 5: Los Angeles made a mistake. Karen Bass does not serve

524
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: the interest of LA residents. U Some of the decisions

525
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 5: are nonsensical, such as cutting seventeen point six million dollars

526
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 5: from LA Fire Department's budget but instead prioritizing homelessness where

527
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 5: roughly half of the funds of one point three billion

528
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: dollars was not even spent. And it just doesn't make

529
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 5: any sense. You know, where are her priorities, what is

530
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 5: her strategy? Where is the plan she she doesn't have one.

531
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 5: We need a proven leader with that is effective, that

532
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 5: understands priorities, that understands business, like Rick Fruso.

533
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: By the way, you want to know why they can't

534
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: do this job. They didn't sign up to do this job, folks.

535
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsome didn't sign up to be governor. He signed

536
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: up to be a Hollywood celebrity. Karen Bass didn't sign

537
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: up to actually be a mayor. She signed up for

538
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: the glitzy parties and the celebrity handshakes and the woke

539
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: ideology where everybody walk around say you're doing so great,

540
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: How many trans people got in your office?

541
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 2: Now, good for you?

542
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: How many gay people got in your office? How many

543
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: lesbians you got hired? Oh?

544
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: I got me a new.

545
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: Lesbian up in here, is gonna be in charge of

546
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: fire department. Yeah, she's gonna get some more lesbians up

547
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: in here, and gave people in some trainees.

548
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: They didn't sign up to actually serve the people, folks.

549
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: They signed up to be famous with celebrities in a

550
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: city where they get to go to all the fun,

551
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: glitzy parties. By the way, in these types of disasters,

552
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: this is where the.

553
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: Governors earned their paycheck.

554
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: It's also, by the way, where they earn their paycheck

555
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: by making sure they do everything to make sure that

556
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: days like this don't happen and fires like this don't happen.

557
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: And notice they're still not telling you the truth that

558
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: a lot of these fires are being lit by individuals.

559
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: Another Malibu resident started crying during an interview with NBC News, saying,

560
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: we lost everything we owned. I hope they learn from this,

561
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: I really do. Adam Carolla slamming democrats. You may know

562
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: him the Adam Carolla Show. This is a guy that's

563
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: a comedian. He's a former liberal who's now just sensical.

564
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: Here's what he said.

565
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 11: You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of

566
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 11: Los Angeles, who all voted for Gavin Newsom, And now

567
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 11: you get what you get.

568
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: Oh, now that your house is on fire, Well.

569
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 11: Now you're thinking about something else. Now you want to

570
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 11: know what's going on. What's going on around here? All

571
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 11: these people who were deep blue Democrats are now going

572
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 11: to have to pull a permit to rebuild. And when

573
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 11: they start running into the bureaucracy in the red tape,

574
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 11: they're gonna start going nuts and they're gonna vote for

575
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 11: Rick Caruso next time because they want to get That's

576
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 11: all Trump says, We're gonna we're gonna pull back the regulations.

577
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: By the way, he's right, you guys all voted for this,

578
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: But now that your house is on fire, you start

579
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: thinking about something else.

580
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with him more. And is all this

581
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: is happening.

582
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: Just remember a lot of this started with a fish,

583
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: a fish that they wanted to save, a little fish,

584
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: And California burned itself to the ground to save a

585
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: little fish and got rid of dams. By the way,
