1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: you for being with us. 3 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 2: Here's our total free number. 4 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean if 5 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. One 6 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: week from today, actually one week from yesterday, we will 7 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: be in Washington, d C. In the Swamp. We have 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: a whole series of broadcasts that we're doing. I'm not 9 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: prepared yet to announce what we have planned for you, 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: but really good stuff and I think you'll like it. 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: And Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the forty seventh 12 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: President of the United States, only the second time that 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: somebody in this country has been president and come back 14 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: after after a period of not being president. It's going 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: to be an interesting week to see what Joe does 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: in terms of preemptive pardons. Hearing his brother Jim, maybe himself. 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 1: We keep hearing Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, let's see Benny Thompson, 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: one's one. Michael Cohne was on TV this weekend begging 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: for one. We'll see how that all plays out. My 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: guess is there will be more pardons to come, and 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: preemptive pardons, and you know, later on we have you know, 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: and this is a great point made in James Comer's 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: new book, which is The All the President's Money, Investigating 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: the secret foreign schemes that made the Biden family rich. 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: One of the points he makes in the book is, 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden, for most of his adult life, 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: like fifty years, made less than two hundred thousand dollars 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: a year. And you know he was able to buy 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, a number second multimillion dollar mansion. Well, how 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: is that financially feasible? My understanding is his wife is 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: a teacher. 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: Not exactly. It does not lend. 33 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: Itself to buying multimillion dollar oceanfront homes, but I guess 34 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: they were able to do it. He goes through great 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: depth and an incredible footnoting I'm sure that there is 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: the threat of or lawsuit probably hanging over his head, 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: but you read the book, you decide on your own. Certainly, 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: we know we were lied to, and we know that 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: Hunter's laptop. And by the way, Hunter, when he received 40 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: the pardon, that eliminates any ability of him now to 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: claim the fifth and he would maybe have to answer 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: if there's an investigation questions like well, what do you 43 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: mean you give half your income to Pops. What do 44 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: you mean that you know all these conversations with your 45 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: financial guy out of what account you need to take 46 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: the money out of to pay for Pops' home refairs? 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: Then he's gonna have to answer other questions than Joe 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: himself lied when he said he never once talked to 49 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: his son, as brother, or anybody for that matter, about 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: their farm business deals. You know, Comer has it somewhere 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: around thirty plus million million dollars that they took in 52 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: with no apparent work done. We know all about Parisma, 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: the energy giant in Ukraine. We know all about CEFC, 54 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: the energy giant out of China. We know about the 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: WhatsApp message. I'm sitting here with my father and with 56 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: everybody he knows, and my ability to hold the grudge. 57 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna regret not giving us the money. But anyway, 58 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: we'll get into that in some specificity, in detail. But 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has a week to issue whatever other pardons 60 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna issue. We go now to the disaster that 61 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: is out in California, and I'm not sure how they're 62 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: going to deal with another seventy two hours of hell 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: and one hundred mile per hour wins, Santa Anna wins 64 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: a kicking back in again and different areas now in 65 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: california're bracing for the absolute worst. Apparently the fires are 66 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: spreading now, threatening bel air. A lot of these fires 67 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: still have not been fully contained, not even close to 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: fully contained. You have many historical landmarks that have been 69 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: lost here, including by the way, the Getty Arts Center 70 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: is facing flames. Hollywood stars, interestingly, more than ever, are 71 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: speaking out against the radical left leadership out in California, 72 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: from Gaven Newsom, the governor, to to Karen Vass the mayor. 73 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: Out there the you know, we now have. 74 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: Over twelve thousand plus structures that have been destroyed, twenty 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: four people. Now the death toll has risen to twenty 76 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: four that we know of. That number likely to go higher. 77 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: I hope it does not. And you know, then we have, 78 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, other issues that have come up. You know, 79 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: it comes down to the basics. If anyone can explain 80 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: to me why they cut the fire department budget while 81 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: simultaneously planning to spend billions and billions of dollars on 82 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: wind turbines, Why they were spending between federal and state 83 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: dollars six hundred and fifty million to make the Port 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles green and why they didn't prioritize hydrants. 85 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: Governor Newsom was asked by Anderson Cooper about why the 86 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: hydrants aren't working. Well, that's a local issue. Well, the 87 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: state is known for wildfires, and the state, you know, 88 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: is known for Santa Ana wins. All of these things 89 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: are predictable. And it goes back to my point that 90 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: I kept making last week. You know that there is 91 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: a science to forestry. You can get a degree in it. 92 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: And why they didn't have controlled burns and they gave 93 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: into environmental radicalism and extremism, then not cleaning out the 94 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: brush it might hurt some endangered species. Why they were 95 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: dumping so much water into the Pacific Ocean from northern 96 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: California rather than following through on a twenty fourteen referendum 97 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 1: that allocated monies by. 98 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: The taxpayers directly. 99 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: They're the ones that approved it for five separate reservoirs, 100 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: and not one of them were ever built. How was 101 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: it that the reservoir in the Pacific Palastate States was empty? 102 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: And then you know, when asked about it, some people 103 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: just flat out denied the reality that it was empty. 104 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: Well play later in the in the program, I think 105 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: this is important. You know, Gavin Newsom now is in 106 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: the middle of Trump Proof in California. I think they're 107 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: planning to spend fifty million dollars to put aside for 108 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: lawsuits against Donald Trump and blasting Donald Trump for pointing 109 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: out obvious criticisms, legitimate criticisms, not gratuitous criticisms about the 110 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: handling of what's gone on out on out there. And 111 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, Trump is threatening first responders with the threat 112 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: to with whole federal support. I think Donald Trump is 113 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: saying that they are going to have to be conditions. 114 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: You're going to have to change the way you approach 115 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: firefighting and wildfires knowing you have predictable Santa Anna wins 116 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: and that's just common sense. And Gavin telling a reporter 117 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: that I have you know, I have the same questions 118 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: you're asking about what happened to our water system. He's 119 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: been either lieutenant governor or governor or mayor of a 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: big city for decades now. I'm not exactly sure where 121 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: that question is coming from. Or let's stop the finger pointing, 122 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: let's assess the truth. I'm not interested in who's to 123 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: blame we need to know who's to blame here. 124 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: Now. 125 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: The La Fire chief, who's been under criticism for implementing 126 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: DEI policies, had a very honest press conference saying that 127 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: city officials failed us as it in terms of not 128 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: having water in hydrants, also going on to say that 129 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: the firefighters were not made aware that the Santa Nez 130 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: reservoir was empty. I don't know how that's possible. These 131 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: are questions that have to be answered, or how the 132 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: La Fire Department is underfunded and understaff. But she made 133 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: that warning long before they ever made the cuts to 134 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: the LAFD, and it's pretty remarkable that this is where 135 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: we now find ourselves. You know, three years ago, Karen Bass, 136 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: the mayor, promised to cut back on her world travel 137 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: focus on the city, but she was in Ghana at 138 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: the time that the fires broke out. Didn't seem to 139 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: have any urgency to get back any faster. Last year, 140 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: you have this water chief who's being paid seven hundred 141 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars a year, apparently knew about the 142 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: empty reservoir and broken hydrants months before the fires, did 143 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: nothing about it. There was an awkward moment when Gavin 144 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: was corrected by a reporter after making one hundred and 145 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: seventeen million gallon mistake while while hitting out against Donald 146 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: Trump and knew someom defending the fire response with a 147 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: fact check site linking to Democratic Party fundraising platforms. I mean, 148 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: this is we're going to raise money off the fires. 149 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: Now. 150 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: I don't think people in California really want the money 151 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: to go to the Democratic Party. No, thank you, the 152 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: LA Fire chief, saying I warned, I rang the bell. 153 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: Details how these devastating cuts, you know, led to a 154 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: lot of this anyway, The fire chief warrened Karen Bass 155 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: two months ago that the department only had half the 156 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: staff according to the Washington Free Beacon, that it needed 157 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: to fight wildfires, and she warned these city officials in 158 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: November her department had about half as many firefight fighters 159 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: as they needed. And still months ago, they cut the 160 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: budget by seventeen point six million dollars again while still 161 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: simultaneously planning billions in spending for wind turbines and six 162 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million to make the Port of La green. 163 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't think they're prioritizing their money. Well, there's a 164 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: lot of criticism, A lot of people in the Pacific Palisades. 165 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: It's a pretty affluent area, and it looks like some 166 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: of the people that lived there that have money in 167 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: left wing Los Angeles were able to fire hire rather 168 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: and I guess I never knew this was even possible. 169 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: But you can hire firefighters that were or privately to 170 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: prioritize and protect your home, and they're under heavy fire 171 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: for doing so. And I'm sorry, I don't criticize these people. 172 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: If the answer is this is a legitimate business and 173 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: these people can protect your home in the city is 174 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: not going to protect your home because they have an empty, 175 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: empty reservoir and they have hydrants that don't work, and 176 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: there's not enough firefighters to begin with. The idea that 177 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: you want to protect your home is not so far 178 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: fetched to me. And if they had the money to 179 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: pay for private firefighters to protect their homes, you know, 180 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess good for them, But you know, 181 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: then it comes down to, you know, well, what about 182 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: the equity, what about the people that can't afford it. Well, 183 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to afford it, that's 184 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: the answer, And I don't think you can criticize them. 185 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: The ideal situation would be that the government does its 186 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: job and protects everybody, that would be the real answer. 187 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: And firefighting has to be a top priority, especially in 188 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: a state known for wildfires and drought like California, though 189 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: this was not a drought year out there, a critical 190 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: LA firefighting plane was grounded after a civilian drone put 191 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: a hole in its wing, you know, adding insult to 192 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: injury here. The FBI is investigating this troubling incident. We 193 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,239 Speaker 1: have an ex con who was caught torching LA neighborhoods 194 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: turns out to be a Biden illegal. 195 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: What does that mean? 196 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: If that person was an ex con, that means that 197 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: they were in custody. But of course sanctuary status in 198 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: LA and in California would never allow them to be 199 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: turned over to ICET, which means they go back into 200 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: the public. But according to the New York Post, it's 201 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: kind of an inconvenient detail about the fires. I doubt 202 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: the mainstream mob state run media is going to say 203 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: anything about it. It turns out the guy they caught 204 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: one around Los Angeles Friday, as he was allegedly torching 205 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: discarded Christmas trees with a flame thrower, is a Biden illegal. 206 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: I wonder if anyone's going to ask these politicians about 207 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: their sanctuary status after this? Is anyone going to ask 208 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: Newsome or Bass or Biden? 209 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: Probably not. 210 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: But the headline is suspect arrested with flamethrower near La 211 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: fire is an illegal immigrant, according to sources, and this 212 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: homeless guy tackled and zip tied by onlookers who say 213 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: he was trying to start fires with a blow torch 214 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: near La By the way, how did he get a 215 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: blow torch? Is an illegal immigrant who will likely be 216 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: protected by California's sanctuary status. Well that's about to come 217 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: to an end in a week. The suspect of Mexican 218 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: national in the US illegally anyway. He was arrested in 219 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: Woodland Hills near the Kenneth fire on Thursday. The Kenneth 220 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: fires burned more than one thousand acres one point six 221 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: square mile over three days in La and Ventura Counties. 222 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: And video that when viral shows neighbors cornering and then 223 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: detaining this guy as he holds up holds what one 224 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: resident described as a flamethrower on the street, with one 225 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: man yelling at him put it down. 226 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 2: Put it down. 227 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: One neighbor telling KTLA that she was in her backyard 228 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: when she heard a car screech to a stop and 229 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: a man yelling that someone was trying to start a fire. 230 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: A few people surrounded him, got him on his knees, 231 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: they got some zip ties and a rope, were able 232 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: to do a citizen's arrest, and that it's not the 233 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: job of the people in Ventura and the people of 234 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: California to be arresting this guy, who, apparently, if he 235 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: was an ex con, had no business being there to 236 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: start with. 237 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: You know. 238 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: Now, Apparently these wildfires threatened California's twenty twenty eight Olympics, 239 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: which is supposed to be at Sofi Stadium, located nineteen 240 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: miles away from sections of the city that have been 241 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: ravaged by this fire. The one hundred year old the 242 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: Era Golf Club, where the world's best golfers will compete 243 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: for gold, is only five miles from the Pacific Palisades 244 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: fire and within a designated evacuation zone, so we'll see 245 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: what happens there. The Pentagon is calling for Mayor Karen 246 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: Bass's resignation or the I'm sorry the petition at the Pentagon, 247 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: and it was at one hundred and twenty two thousand, 248 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy four earlier today. If they could 249 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: find these people, I think they probably all would would 250 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: sign on to it. It's just it's know, this is 251 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: a preventable tragedy, and now we have at least seventy 252 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: two hours of Santa Ana Wins. Now it's threatening bel 253 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: Air and other parts of Los Angeles. I can only 254 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: imagine what it's going to look like tonight. Twelve thousand 255 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: structures destroyed, twenty four dead, and you know, everyone's pointing 256 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: fingers at each other. And I'm going to tell you 257 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: who's going to end up paying for this? We the 258 00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: American taxpayers. Watch you, you'll see, Oh, in Mexico and 259 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: Canada are sending firefighters, and Ukraine is sending firefighters. Why 260 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: they didn't prepare for this, I don't know. Al Right 261 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: twenty five now to the top of the hour, eight 262 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to 263 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: join us one week from today Inauguration Day, we'll get 264 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: to that in a second. 265 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: Here. 266 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: The winds called Santa Anna wins. If you don't live 267 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: in California, I mean, they're predictable, they happen often, when 268 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: they happen simultaneously with wildfires. This is the predictable result. 269 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: It just is. 270 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: And if you look at the Palisades fire alone grew 271 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: to more than twenty three thousand acres, that's half the 272 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: size of Brooklyn, New York. If you want a comparison, 273 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: it was only as of yesterday eleven percent contain. We 274 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: expect strong gusts now for the next three days, which 275 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: is going to complicate things. Now it seems to be 276 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: headed the fire. That is to the neighborhood of Brentwood, 277 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: which is a small enclave crammed with multimillion dollar mansions. 278 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: That's where Vice President Harris lives, Lebron James lives, also 279 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: home to like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, doctor Dre But 280 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: that's the next community in the crosshairs of the one 281 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: of the worst fire disasters in history. And it is Yeah, 282 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: and I got to give credit. We got to give 283 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: props to all of the people. I'll say thank you 284 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: to Canada, Mexico, but also to the states of Utah, Texas, Nevada, Oregon, Washington. 285 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: You know, they've all gotten on board, they're all sending 286 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: in help. But that does not excuse the fact that 287 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: the LA Fire Chief said, we have only half the 288 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: man power we would need to deal with the wildfire. 289 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: And you know, now coming in after twenty four are dead, 290 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, is hardly reassuring to any And then we 291 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: had all the criticisms. There was a point where the 292 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: LA Fire Chief on Friday was called into Karen Bass's 293 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: office and a lot of speculation. It was even one 294 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: article that came out believing that she was fired. She 295 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: was not, but she was summoned, I guess on Friday afternoon, 296 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: fueling that speculation. And among the thousands of structured structures, 297 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know names that you know, Anthony Hopkins, 298 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: Billy Crystal, Spencer Pratt, what is it, Heidi Montag, I 299 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: don't even know. I don't know these people. I don't 300 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: care about Hollywood. I really don't care. Hollywood's influenced by 301 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: the way in the political arena. You know, there's so 302 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,239 Speaker 1: hardcore leftist liberal Democrat that this is the government they 303 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: helped fight for, and this is the government that is 304 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: this incompetent and it may not seem relevant, but it 305 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: really is. These are the policies that would have been 306 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: implemented had Kamala Harris won This election, because this is 307 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: the radical environmentalism. What do you think the whole New 308 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: Green New Deal is rooted in It is rooted in this. 309 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: And you know, Governor Newsom is playing defense, and you 310 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: know he was playing verbal gymnastics. He was asked, you know, saying, well, 311 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: the state reservoirs were completely full. Well, the Pacific Palis 312 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: Staines Reservoir was not. In twenty fourteen, the state passed 313 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: a referendum that means the people vote directly on whether 314 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: they want to fund reservoirs in the state of California. 315 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: They voted for that referendum, and they voted to build 316 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: five reservoirs. Most people understanding that it is a state 317 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: heavy with drought often this was not a drought year, 318 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: and understanding the need you know, for water during during 319 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: these times, and so they approved the money. And it's 320 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: hard to get people to approve money when you put 321 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: out a referendum referendum. But the reservoirs what Gavin was 322 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: saying this week, and were completely full, the state reservoirs 323 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: in southern California. You know that mistake and disinformation. I 324 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: don't think advantages anybody said to NBC News. Then the 325 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: reporter Pressedknewsom on his response, you know, pointing out how 326 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: the La County run Santa and As Reservoir was bone dry, 327 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: something that even has prompted a probe from the governor. 328 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: You know, that's exactly what triggered my desire to get 329 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: to the investigation. Well, why didn't they prepare ahead of time? 330 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: And I'll play later in the program. My governor, Bron 331 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: Desantos was at mar A Lago and asked about this 332 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: and said if it would have been a Republican state 333 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: run by a Republican governor, we'd be excoriated for this response. 334 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: But Gavin's argument is that this is not a state 335 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: run system, which the President elect was referring to. The 336 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: President elect did not say it was a state run system. 337 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: You cannot negate these facts. The facts are and new 338 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: some A dressed this on very early on, saying, well, 339 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: these hydrants are not designed to take care of a wildfire. Well, okay, 340 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: then how do you get the water that is needed 341 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: to put out fires when you have Santa Ana winds 342 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: that are predictable in neighborhoods that are are like this. 343 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: Why aren't you practicing the science of forestry nobody's ever 344 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: asked them that question that I've been able to see. 345 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: But anyway, they missed the point that the water pressure 346 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: was a major debilitating issue. Not having hydrants that work 347 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: is a debilitating issue. You know the fact that as 348 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: they fight this wildfire, we learn more about. In a 349 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: video defending the DEI hiring practices, the deputy chief of 350 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: the Fire Department, who heads the Equity and Human Resources Bureau, 351 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: addressed accusations that female firefighters aren't strong enough to carry 352 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: a man out of a burning building, saying, he got 353 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: himself in the wrong place. If I have to carry 354 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: meaning the the victim would be in the wrong place 355 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: if I have to carry him out. In a fire 356 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: which went viral, I mean was apparently caught off guard 357 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: and the most devastating blaze in California history is incinerated 358 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: twenty six thousand acres that in a very populated area. 359 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: In critics arguing that the LA Fire Department had too many, 360 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: too much preoccupation with DEI vanity projects. This DEI head 361 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: was paid three hundred and seven thousand dollars a year 362 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and the deputy chief says, when 363 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: people's houses are burning down. They want a firefighter to 364 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: show up, you know, that's able to do the job. 365 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: And people just want someone to show up that's going 366 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: to stop their house from burning down. And then the 367 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: people that just gave up on the state and hired 368 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: their own firefighters, which I didn't know such such services existed. 369 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean, why are we blaming them? I mean, they 370 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: just they just have come to a recognition that the 371 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: state's not going to be there for them, and they're 372 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: just trying to protect the home that they work so 373 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: hard to purchase and live in and don't want to 374 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: have burned to the ground. Anyway, there's a lot of criticism, 375 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: and other criticism is, you know, the governor soliciting donations 376 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: for victims via his superpack, which pushed users to add 377 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: their personal information to a Democratic fundraising site. I'm like, really, 378 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about politics now. It's pretty bad. 379 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: And the next thing they're worried about is the potential 380 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: of looting. A southern California TikToker caught a group of 381 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: careless idiots launching lantern balloons with lit candles. Anyway, you 382 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: have grim Satellite photos taken by NASA show the out 383 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: of control fires. I mean, for all the talk about 384 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: the environment, the environment, the environment, what's the air quality? 385 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 2: Now? 386 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: Arrests now are soaring in fire ravage Los Angeles County, 387 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: mainly for looting. One guy caught dressed as a firefighter 388 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: while stealing from a home, prompting the more National Guard reinforcements. 389 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure why they weren't called in earlier. Anyway, 390 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: many people are upset. Vice President Harris's home is in 391 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: the enclave of Brentwood, which has now been evacuated. Harris 392 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: had an aid tweet last night the Vice President's neighborhood 393 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles was put under an evacuation order. 394 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 2: No one was in her home at the time. 395 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: She intersect the second Gentleman and are now praying for 396 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: the safety of their fellow Californians. 397 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 2: And when is she going to be asked about this? Anyway? 398 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and ninety four one seawan to be a 399 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: part of our program. It doesn't take away my thoughts 400 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: and prayers for the people of California. And then they 401 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: have this whole insurance issue, and let me tell let 402 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: me interpret that for you right up front, that's going 403 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: to mean the taxpayers of this country are going to 404 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: have to pay for California's radical environmental extremism which created 405 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: conditions for a fire like this to occur. That's what's 406 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: going to end up happening. On January twenty seventh, International 407 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the great evils of the Holocaust, 408 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: millions of Jews slaughtered Adolf Hitler during the Nazi reign 409 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: of terror. Today, the rise. We see it on college campuses, 410 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: we see it worldwide, we see it in the halls 411 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: of Congress, the rise of anti Semitism, the constant attacks 412 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: on Israel. I'm not sure what part of murder and 413 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: rape and torture and kidnapping some people don't understand, but 414 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: some people clearly are saying the most anti Semitic, virulently 415 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: anti semitic things. We have proudly partnered on this show 416 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and thanks 417 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 1: to your generosity, they're able to provide food and shelter 418 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: and safety to the Jewish people in Israel and around 419 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: the world, including those that those remaining Holocaust survivors. Your 420 00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: donation is providing food, water, medicine, shelter, base necessities to 421 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: the Jewish people. Tens of thousands have been displaced from 422 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: their homes, and through your gift, we're standing with Israel 423 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: in their time and need and against the growing anti 424 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: Semitism and hatred which has to end. And it's got 425 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: to start by ending in the halls of Congress and 426 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: on college campuses. Anyway, we hope you'll join us. Give 427 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: your support to the Jewish people. Go to their website 428 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: support IFCJ. It's one word support IFCJ dot org, or 429 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: call eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight eight 430 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: a four eight eight IFCJ. Today is a state. LA 431 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: Times an article why the Pacific Palisades Reservoir was offline 432 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: and empty when the fire storm exploded. The La County 433 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: supervisor this was pretty interesting. The county Board of Supervisors 434 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: chair sent a letter to President ELEC. Donald Trump to 435 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: tour the devastation. Actually have no doubt he probably will. 436 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: Vice President Harris has been called out over claim about 437 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: canceled insurance, and the insurance industry calls Harris's claim at 438 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: insurance carriers are canceling policies false, wrong and dangerous. I mean, 439 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: is this going to you know, motivate somebody like the 440 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: United healthcare incident. If it's not happening, it's not happening. 441 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: Thankfully. 442 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: The North Carolina Governor, Josh Stein said he will continue 443 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: to use every resource at his disposal to ensure that 444 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: residents impacted by Hurricane Heleen. We told you the deadline 445 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: was Friday, that thirty five hundred families might have to 446 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: leave their temporary shelter that was provided by FEMA, which 447 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: is what FEMA is for and their housing assistance. And 448 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: I believe we have a stay on that. The last 449 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: that I had heard and getting insane out there. This 450 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: is what environmental radicalism is, is what it does. Anyway, 451 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: let me move on to some of the other business. 452 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: Foreign leaders are clamoring for invitations to Donald Trump's inauguration. 453 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of interesting. They're going crazy Chile, Peru, Nigeria, Mozambique. 454 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: According to one foreign one registered foreign agent, who added 455 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: leaders we're chomping at the bit to attend. For the 456 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: most part, the answer is likely. Know. One world leader 457 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: who's been making furious overtures is President Zolynsky of Ukraine, 458 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: who publicly expressed interest in wanting to go. Trump is 459 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: not formally invited the Ukrainian leader, but said if he'd 460 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: like to come, I'd like to have him. This is 461 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: going to be one week from today is going to 462 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: be very interesting. It really will. It's just it can't 463 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: come soon enough. Here's an interesting poll out of Greenland. 464 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: It found that its residents agree with Donald Trump's suggestion 465 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: that the country joined the US. Fifty seven percent of 466 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: respondents in a survey we're in favor of it becoming 467 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: a state, and of the thirty seven point four percent 468 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: against it, all five percent remained undecided. Denmark sent private 469 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: messages in recent days to Donald Trump's team expressing a 470 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: willingness to discuss boosting security in Greenland and increasing the 471 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: US military presidence there. The Danish government wants to convince Trump, 472 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: including through the messages you know, passed to his advisers, 473 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: that his security concerns can be addressed without claiming Greenland. 474 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: Maybe they should have treated Greenland better. It was a 475 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: meeting apparently yesterday with Donald Trump and John Fetterman that 476 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: went extraordinarily well, Washington Examiner reported after an hour long 477 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: conversation with Fetterman and his wife, President Trump said, it's 478 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: totally It was a totally fascinating meeting. He's a fascinating 479 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: man and a common sense person. He's not a liberal 480 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: or a conservative, just common sense, which he said is 481 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: great without going into too much detail their private conversation, 482 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: But I John Fetterman, I think I might have just 483 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: gotten him wrong, or maybe all that he's been through 484 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: changed him. 485 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. They don't know him well. 486 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: But the guy that I see now that stands up 487 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: for Israel and stands up for secure borders, and the 488 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: guy that wants energy independence, he's he's not a part 489 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: of this radicalized Democratic party. The guy that wants law 490 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: and order, that is, you know, four parts of the 491 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: seven parts of the big Trump agenda. And he also 492 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: believes that a president should get the cabinet that he wants, 493 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: and he's been meeting with Trump's you know, cabinet picks, 494 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: and his vote is going to be critical. I mean, 495 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: if Trump loses people like Lisa Murkowski or Susan Collins 496 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: or Mitch McConnell, somebody like John Fetterman can come in 497 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: and have a huge impact on that. That would be very, 498 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: very powerful in my view. So we'll watch that. 499 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 2: You know. 500 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray in his exit interview on sixty minutes. It 501 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: was a waste of time. I really don't have words. 502 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: The fact that Trump called up the National Guard, they 503 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: never reported on it, the Trump that the fact that 504 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: the Sergeant at arms was never called, in the fact 505 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: that Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer never called, in the fact 506 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: that Muriel Bowser and Writing declined the use of the 507 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: Guard that Trump had authorized, never examined. The Capitol Police 508 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: chief sons requesting the National Guard. Five different people in 509 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: the room, all confirming Donald Trump called for the National Guard. 510 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: And then Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, they both want 511 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: these pardons, preemptive pardons by Joe Biden because they're afraid, well, 512 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: they got rid of the information that they were obligated 513 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: to preserve Number one and number two. They put on 514 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: a show trial and they thought that they would absolutely 515 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: be able to stop Trump from becoming president. And now 516 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Oopsie, Daisy Michael cohe now on 517 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: MSDNC pretty much begging for a pardon, reempt of pardon. 518 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: It was one thing Dershowitz said about Juan Mershawn that 519 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: I thought was pretty revealing. He said it on my 520 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: TV show, and in his effort to ward off the 521 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court's intervention. You know, that's the only reason that 522 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: he revealed ahead of time that the President in his 523 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: sentencing would not be going to jail and that there 524 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be any real punishment. And he said, I've been 525 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: doing this for years, and I've never been told by 526 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: a judge what the sentence is going to be. When 527 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: I got into the courtroom with my client, I tell 528 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: him to bring a toothbrush because he doesn't know whether 529 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: he's going home or going to Rikers or some other 530 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: lock up. And I think that's probably done on accurate. 531 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: All Right, we have new King Rich at the top 532 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: of the hour. Later on Friends of Ours in California, 533 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: Joel Pollock, John conn lost his home, Joel nearly lost 534 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: his home, and James Comer's new book is blockbuster about 535 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: the Biden family syndicate. 536 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: We'll get to that.
