WEBVTT - Caitlyn Jenner - January 8th, Hour 1 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:02.720 All right, thank you Scott Shannon, Thanks to all of 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:04.680 you for being with us. Right down are toll free 0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.520 number it is eight hundred and ninety four to one. Sean, 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:10.760 if you want to be a part of the program, 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.880 let me start, because we're going to talk a little 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:22.000 bit about the poor forest management in California and how 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:27.840 preventable these wildfires are out there if only common sense 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.479 measures were adopted. But that does not negate the human 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:36.959 toll that has gone on out there. It is one 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.479 of the saddest things. And I've had this happen to 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.599 friends of mine, and I'm sure most of you have too. 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.400 If somebody works so hard their entire life, they have 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.199 a dream, they want a house for themselves and their family. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.720 It is so built into the American psyche that that 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:59.480 is a huge achievement in one's life to be able 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.360 to get their own home, and it means so much 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.320 to everybody and all the family memories that are in there, 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.399 et cetera. And you're watching hundreds and hundreds and hundreds 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.880 of homes burned down. I don't want to forget the 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.479 human component of all of this, and let the people 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.840 of California that are living through this know that our thoughts, 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.560 our prayers, our love are all sent to all of you. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.160 I'm sure it's not exactly heartwarming to hear that, Well, 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.040 you'll be able to rebuild blah blah. It just it is. 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.440 It will upturn turn up your life. It will just 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.880 change things around. The entire trajectory of your life now 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.320 is in a whole different direction. There is so much 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:49.280 that we're learning that to me is infuriating and just 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.720 angers me. I saw Joe Biden out there with Gavin Newsom. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.880 Gavin Newsom probably as big as Booster in the entire country, 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.360 and he's stuck with him to the end. And it's 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.720 nice that Joe went out there. It's appropriate that he 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.280 went out there. Where was Joe when Hurricane Helene destroyed 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.880 you know, parts of Georgia and especially the northwestern part 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.239 and the mountain part of mountainous part of North Carolina. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.040 I mean, they still have not caught up with helping 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.800 the people that desperately need help there. Where were they 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.079 in East Palestine after that train wreck happened. They were 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.920 nowhere to be found. Joe couldn't bother didn't take the 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.840 time to go out and meet with the people there. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.639 And you know, as. 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.040 We look at. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.760 Some of the background here, you know there is something 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.000 called the science of forest management, and it is a science. 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:51.200 And interestingly, you can go back and one person that 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.400 predicted all of this. Let's go back to twenty eighteen 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.320 and this is Donald Trump, the President, with Gavin Newsom 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.480 talking about forest management. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.720 Listen, cleaned out and protected. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.920 We've got to take care of the floors, you know, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.760 the floors of the forest very important. You look at 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.680 other countries where they do it differently, and it's a 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.120 whole different story. I was with the president of Finland 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.840 and he said, we have much different We're a forest nation. 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.640 He called it a forest nation, and they spent a 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.920 lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.760 and they don't have any problem. And when it is, 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.240 it's a very small problem. So I know everybody's looking 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.480 at that to that end and it's going to work out. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.160 I mean, that was him in twenty eighteen, and just 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.440 four months ago, Donald Trump spoke about the need for 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.280 California to send more water. And this will become very 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.080 relevant in a minute when I tell you what's actually 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:57.400 going on out there to down downstate to prevent these fires. Now, 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.680 I lived in California for five years. Sound was an 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.800 area of a very affluent area of Santa Barbara. I 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.760 went back there a couple of years after I had left, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.320 and the whole the whole community was burned to the ground. 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.920 This has been happening now for decades. And we know 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.359 that they have these long droughts in California, and I 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.320 had been out in California. Desalinization was a big topic 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.360 of discussion because they needed fresh water. 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:24.839 Water was always a problem. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.039 But this is Donald Trump talking about four months ago 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.479 the need for California to send more water downstate to 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.719 help prepare for firefighters. And I'll explain why this is 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:36.800 relevant in a second. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.440 You have so much water, and all those fields that 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.240 are right now barren, The farmers would have all the 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.279 water they needed, and you could revert water up into 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.599 the hills where you have all the dead forests, where 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.760 the forests are so brittle, because no places like California. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.920 I go to Austria. The head of Ostria. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.240 Tells me, you know, we have trees that are much 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.880 more flammable than what you have in California. We never 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.680 have forest farest because they may maintain their forests, and 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.560 you have all that water that could be used to 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.920 water what they call waterflow where the you know, where 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.279 the land would be damp, and you'd stop many of 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.480 these horrible fires that are costing billions and billions of 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.480 dollars by the federal government, et cetera. 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.480 So one thing I'm going to do for California. Vote 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:21.520 for me, California. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.960 I'm going to give you safety, I'm going to give 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.080 you a great border, and I'm going to give you 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.039 more water than almost anybody has. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:35.280 They don't because of environmental extremism. They it is difficult, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.800 if not impossible, and the state should be responsible for it. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.200 They don't engage in controlled burns, you know, they don't 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.280 clear out the dry brush, which should be done regularly, 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.280 which is the kindling for fires such as what we're 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:55.400 watching unfold in the Pacific Palisades and beyond a lot 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.360 of a lot of the state rules protecting endangered species, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:05.640 you know, is is the rationale limiting the science of 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.680 forestry from being practiced out there, and the limiting the 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.120 amount of water that gets sent from northern California, which 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:17.240 makes absolutely positively no sense, you know, it is it 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.359 is completely preventable if they put the time, energy, money, 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:22.760 and resources into it. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.200 We now see bay. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.000 Just think of what Donald Trump just said that there, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.560 you know, scores of we're now finding out LA firefighters 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.440 that are at their wits end because they're finding all 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.800 of these broken fire hydrants that are preventing them from 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.880 doing their jobs, which they want to do, and they're 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.160 struggling to gain control of one of the worst wildfires 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:50.039 in LA's history. And I just wonder how many brand 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.600 new fire hydrants could have been bought with the seventeen 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.400 million dollars that the Democratic Mayor Karen Bass cut from 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.360 the firefighting budget, because that's exactly what she did. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:00.240 Just months go. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.240 LA Fire Department had their budget cut by a staggering 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.520 seventeen point six million dollars this financial year, according to records, 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.400 and this drastic decrease in funding for the fire department 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.239 was the second largest cut to come out of Los 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:20.320 Angeles and Mayor Karen Bass's fiscal budget, according to city figures. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.360 And she initially even wanted to cut more money than that. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.680 And by the way, if you're wondering where the mayor 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.080 of Los Angeles is and all of this, well she's seven, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.240 four hundred miles away in Africa on a political trip 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.720 as this, you know, Los Angeles is like in this 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:43.360 apocalyptic healthscape. Right now, there are people posting on X 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.480 from La saying resign while you're in Ghana. One person 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.000 comedy anyway, she traveled with three other people to Ghana 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:55.920 for the inauguration of the president there was elected last year. Hey, Karen, quote, 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.280 how's Ghana? Another person asking La. You ask, Yeah, it's 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.280 burning to the effing ground. But it's better you're not 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.880 here anyways, because you're useless. Others demanding that she resigned 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.080 from her post. You're a disgrace or and embarrassment. I mean, 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.280 there is no excuse. Why is she not on the 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.800 first plane home? As soon as this became a problem. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.560 Now the problem even gets worse than that. Now, if 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:24.360 you're not going to practice you know, the science of forestry, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.560 and you're not going to have hydrants that have water 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.280 in them, and you're not going to clear out the 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:35.160 kindling and the brush because of environmental extremist agendas, and 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:40.040 you're not going to have controlled burns again another huge mistake. 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:46.200 Then you know this is entirely preventable and predictable what 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.600 is happening here. If you're going to put endangered species 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:55.080 above the lives and the livelihoods and the homes of 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.720 the people in your state, you know you have to 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.839 ask why, why would you do that? And here's where 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.800 it even gets worse than that, because I don't know 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.640 if you've ever noticed. While Mayor Bass was busy cutting 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.320 off the fire Department's budget to the bone, he somehow 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.600 did manage to find hundreds of millions of dollars for 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.760 green energy conversion for the Port of Los Angeles. This 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.480 ought to make everybody in the southland in LA pretty 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:26.600 pissed off. But here's the headline from a website, the 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.840 Port of Los Angeles website. Port of Los Angeles awarded 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.080 four hundred and twelve million dollars and a grant from 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:38.400 the US EPA for zero emissions transfer, zero missions transformation. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:44.360 Thank you EPA Administrator Michael Reagan for your support of 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.480 our vision a zero emissions future that Karen Bass. With 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.240 this funding, the nation's busiest port will be able to 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.280 continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality. How's 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.360 the air quality out there today? I don't think it's 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.840 doing too well in LA today. Together, in partnership with 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:06.240 the federal government, industry, labor, environmental justice groups, we are 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.480 building a greener, healthier LA. Doesn't look like it to me. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.400 The port and its private, sectored partners will match the 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.600 EPA grant with an additional two hundred and thirty six 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:21.000 million dollars, bringing the total new investment in zero missions 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.160 programs at the Port of Los Angeles to six hundred 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.840 and forty four million dollars, and provide fifty million dollars 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.920 for community LEDs zero missions Grant program workforce development and 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:39.040 related engagement activities. Well, I mean, I don't see anything 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.439 in there about the money to fix the broken fire 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.960 hydrants and or any monies to hire the firefighters that 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.320 she laid off. But according to the press release, in 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.240 addition to the EPA grant, you know there were still 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.000 gazillions left over in her budget for green energy conversion. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.600 In August, LA launched their first one percent electric full 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.960 size street sweeper in the US. The city itself installed 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.600 nearly one hundred Level two chargers and twelve fast charges 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.960 for electric vehicles throughout the city. And meanwhile, they're not 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.520 taking care of the basic predictable safety needs of homeowners 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.320 in California. I'm going to tell you what this is 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.199 going to result in. It's going to result in more 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.520 of a mass exist. I mean, the U Haul Index 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.000 came out and once again leading the way with the 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.520 lowest net population gain and people leaving the state is California. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.679 Then you have South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Tennessee. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:38.720 Once again. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:44.040 You know, people are are just moving in droves. And 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.240 the same thing with New York. Kathy Holk wants to 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.760 run for a governor again. The one thing that would 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:53.400 help New York financially have this big congestion tax in 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.400 New York City. If you go in on the lower 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.160 level of the fifty ninth Street Bridge from Queens into Manhattan, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.840 you know it's going to be fifteen dollars on the 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.560 lower level because they'll force you onto First Avenue in 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.800 New York City. I know this may be a little technical, 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.960 but you will automatically be charged even if you're not 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.600 heading in that direction. I mean, that's how desperately they 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.559 want money, and they don't care about the poor and 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.679 the middle class and working men and women that are 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.280 going to be paying the bills. They try to get 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:28.840 to work every day. But this, this is now, this, 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:34.000 this is what environmental environmental radicalism gets you. I'll never forget. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.080 I went out to the San Joaquin Valley. I cover 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:41.040 this for fox and that you add. You know all 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:46.959 these you know, farms, massive farms that were bone dry, 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.080 and there was all of this water that was available 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.800 to them, and it was not made available to farmers 0:12:54.880 --> 0:13:00.160 because they wanted to protect what's called the delta smelt. Now, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.880 the delta smelt, if you look it up and look 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.439 at a picture of it, it looks like a. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.800 Little minnow fish. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.640 It's not even like an exotic fish, and by the way, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.959 not even an endangered species. And they cared more about 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.600 the delta smelt than they did about the farmers. And 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:22.440 the farmers lost their entire livelihood because they chose a 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.640 minnow fish that was not even on the endangered species 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.440 list over the farmers, over the people that would benefit 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.160 from the farming and the food that they would produce. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.559 I mean, this is absolute madness. And then they wonder, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.760 I wonder why people are leaving in Los Angeles and 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.600 New York and New Jersey and Illinois and droves. This 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.560 is why people have had it. They're waking up. They're done, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.840 and you've destroyed your states. You know, law order, safety, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.960 security gone, massive taxes. You know, if you live in 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.760 New York City, in New York State, fourteen percent state 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.520 and city income acts. Same thing out in Los Angeles, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:07.599 same thing in all of California. Illegal immigration, sanctuary state status, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.400 you know, put the burden on taxpayers just basically just 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.480 picked their pockets to the point where they're not going 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.080 to stay anymore and the quality of life has gone 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.120 to hell. I mean, defund is mantle, no bail laws, 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:28.840 sanctuary states, known terrorists, cartel members, gang members, murderers, rapists, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.960 they just allow them into the country unvetted. January twentieth 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:38.720 can't come fast enough. I actually can't believe what A 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.360 friend of mine that lives out in the area and 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.120 in California just sent me. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:43.720 It is. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.520 It reminds me of when I went to New Orleans 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.760 post Katrina, and it was like I remember driving for 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:56.360 miles and on either side everything was wiped out, Entire 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:00.840 neighborhoods of being wiped out. Caitlyn Jenner just texted me 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.000 and says, you have no idea how bad it is 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.800 out here. She's gonna call in after the news at 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.040 the bottom of the hour and we'll get an update 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.480 from her. And our prayers are with the people of 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:24.320 California today. This is really bad, driving. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.080 The liberals nuts. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:31.000 Sean Hannity is back on the radio right now, all right, 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.360 twenty five till the top of the hour, eight hundred 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.040 and ninety four one, Shawn or number if you want 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.640 to be a part of the program as we now 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.400 enter the new year, and it should be, by the way, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.800 an every day priority for everybody. You've got to protect yourself. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.520 You've got to protect your family. You know, we now 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.520 have known terrors, murderers, cartel members in the country. We 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.760 have a lot of violent people, very dangerous time for 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:58.440 the country and for individuals. What is your plan if 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.120 that God forbid moment comes into your life you face 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:07.240 a situation that demands personal protection. Now, I've always believed 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.360 in the Second Amendment. I still do, and I also 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.640 have the non well the less lethal launcher that is Burner. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.520 That is my first option. It is a great compliment 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.200 to owning a firearm. If you or your family is 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.880 in a situation where you are threatened, you can start 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.320 with the least, the the less lethal option and the 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.040 beauty of Berner is it works. I urge all of 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.760 you go to their website BYRNA dot com slash Hannity 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.160 and take a look at the videos. I mean, it's incredible. First, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.640 it's legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit, 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.560 you don't need a background check. I not only own them, 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.960 I buy them as gifts for many friends and people 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.040 in my life so they can be safe and secure 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.360 in their home, their business, their day to day life. 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.080 The Burner launcher has powerful deterrence tier gas kinetic rounds. 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.360 You can hit a target easily fifty sixty feet away, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.760 and Berner is now trusted by over five hundred government agencies, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.000 police departments, and private security firms. If you go to 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.520 Berner BYRNA dot com slash Hannity, you'll get ten percent 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.760 off any purchase and it may save your life one day. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:19.199 And this technology is amazing. We continue our coverage. I mean, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:24.199 it's pretty unbelievable that if you listen to the if 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.359 you listen to the experts, a lot of what is 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:30.639 happening with this wildfire in California could have been prevented. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:35.080 There's been decades of overgrowth in California forests. You know, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.200 if you look at the liability laws around controlled burns, 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.800 they don't allow control burns. You can't remove brush. It's 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.560 all related to environmental radicalism and extremism. I mean, the 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.280 state itself should be involved in these controlled burns. They 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.639 should be involved in cleaning out the brush which is 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.360 the kindling for these big fires and much of California. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:18:00.159 If a landowner undertakes you know, a controlled burn on 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.600 their own property, they have to jump through a series 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.760 of hoops proving that they have the expertise to set 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.800 a controlled fire that will stay controlled. But this is 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.680 something that state ought to be doing. And the sad 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.560 part is is now we're learning. Okay, well, the mayor 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.960 of Los Angeles cut the LA fire Fighter's budget by 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.760 a wopping what seventeen million dollars, and meanwhile they're spending 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.080 six hundred and forty four million to make the Port 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.439 of Los Angeles, converting that into you know, a green 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.080 energy hub, six hundred and forty four million dollars, and 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.879 yet they're cutting back on firefighters. Then firefighters, you know, 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.000 they're at their wits end fighting trying to fight this 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.320 fire that they're willing to put their lives at risk, 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.280 but they're finding all these broken fire hydrants. Donald Trump 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.360 warned about it in twenty eighteen, said you better get 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.520 the water from the north in northern California down to 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.800 the south, because you're going to need it. And he 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.280 turned out to be more than right. All the state 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:04.600 rules protecting quote endangered species. I mentioned the delta smelt 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.000 that prevented farmers from being able to farm in the 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:11.159 San Joaquin Valley. And this is all madness anyway. A 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.800 friend of mine just sent me a video. I mean 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.520 it went on for blocks and blocks and blocks of 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.919 homes just burn to the ground. These are people's lives, 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.919 you know, being upended in ways you can't even imagine, 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.600 you know, whenever there's a tragedy like this. Now, I'm 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.320 glad to see Joe Biden went out there today, especially 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.480 since he never showed up to East Palestine after that 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.680 that train derailment, that disaster there. Never showed up after 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.719 Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. And if it wasn't for 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:48.000 neighbor helping neighbor and Samaritan's Purse and Operation Heilo, you know, 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.520 those people and Elon Musk providing communications they would be 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.199 they'd be out of luck anyway. Caitlin Jenner is with US, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:59.160 lives in southern California, is very aware of the dangers 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.480 of fires out there. This is something you talked about 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.640 when you made your run for governor back in the day. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.000 Boy, I certainly did. That was like number one on 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:16.480 my list of things to do, because fighting fires has 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:22.960 to be offensive and removing brush, like you said earlier, 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:29.040 in the forest, taking fuel away. I live in Malibu, California. 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.919 The wolveyfire came right through my house and I stayed 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.000 with the house and it made it because there was 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.960 no fuel close to the house. And we just need 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.320 to do more of that, no more in preparation. What's 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:49.760 happening here in Los Angeles actually today the winds are 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.080 so hard. Last night they were between eighty and ninety 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.919 miles an hour at my house. I live on the 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:58.640 mountain in Malibu. 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:00.679 And the way for those two people that don't know, 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.399 they're called Santa Ana winds, and they come by periodically 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:08.560 and the winds are fierce, and if it happens while 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.959 in the middle of a fire like this, it is 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:16.520 devastating because it literally moves the embers miles away in 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.720 many cases and creates new fires. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:24.879 Absolutely. And I live in a setting in a corridor, 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.600 so I mean every time my house gets hit this afternoon, 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:36.200 my roof blew off. Yeah, all the tar paper on 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.399 my roof. The second time it's happened, lifted right up 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:41.840 off my house and was thrown all the way down 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.760 the mountain Riday at that repair. Fortunately, I'm at the 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.080 north end of Malibu, the south end of Malibu, and 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:53.639 you get down in the Pacific Palisades is just getting destroyed, 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:58.000 and you're right, it's about preparation. And Karen Bass isn't 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:02.199 even in town. You mentioned that she's off in Africa someplace. 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.679 But you know who's been on the phone, you know, 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:08.199 all day long is Rick Caruso. Rick Cruso is the 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.080 one that ran against Karen Bess and the people of 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.560 California didn't put him in place. He's a very confident businessman, 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:20.960 really great guy, and he has a mall near where 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.199 the fire was and he goes running down there in 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.640 the morning to make sure everything's going to be okay. 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:32.439 And they had no water in the fire hydrants. 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:33.919 I mean, you can't even make it up. And then 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.160 Gavin Newsom, God bless Gavin. 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:42.159 He had his emergency presser today thanking the mayor Karen 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:46.840 Bass who's in Ghana, who's in Africa, for her leadership 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:48.120 in all of this. 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.000 I mean, is this some kind of bad joke? 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.240 Yeah, it really is. And actually you said earlier you 0:22:56.280 --> 0:23:00.399 were talking about Biden being here and going to Monica 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.640 to the firehouse and you know, doing all of that. 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.040 He was. It was like in Santa Monica. You know, 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.320 we went out to the desert to do that a 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:12.840 couple of days ago, you know, some national monument out there. 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.080 And he came back here and he's in town. I 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.719 know because as you know, I'm a pilot, and they 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:21.800 had a TFR. It's a temporary flight restriction. Any place 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.640 the president goes and he stays someplace, there's a TFR, 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.119 a no fly zone over the area that he's at. 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.720 It's quite common, and there was a TFR here the 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.320 last couple of days because he was in town. So 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.600 basically all he did today was, you know, go down 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.960 the street to the local fire station and do a 0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:45.440 television appearance and then and then leave. That's the tight. God, 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.720 I can't wait till the twentieth of January. 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.560 Yeah, by the way, he did reveal that his son 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:53.400 Hunter and his wife may have lost their home during 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.200 this fire. They got notification yesterday their home was probably 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.520 burned to the ground. And by the way, the LA 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.280 Only Fire chief now has an estimate that a thousand 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:08.600 structures have been destroyed already, and they have zero percent 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.679
