WEBVTT - Environmental Radicalism - January 13th, Hour 1 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:03.360 All right, Thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:04.160 you for being with us. 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:05.200 Here's our total free number. 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.280 It's eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean if 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:09.920 you want to be a part of the program. One 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.240 week from today, actually one week from yesterday, we will 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:17.599 be in Washington, d C. In the Swamp. We have 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.599 a whole series of broadcasts that we're doing. I'm not 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.680 prepared yet to announce what we have planned for you, 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.760 but really good stuff and I think you'll like it. 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.680 And Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the forty seventh 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.479 President of the United States, only the second time that 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.200 somebody in this country has been president and come back 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:43.120 after after a period of not being president. It's going 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.040 to be an interesting week to see what Joe does 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:51.760 in terms of preemptive pardons. Hearing his brother Jim, maybe himself. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.639 We keep hearing Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, let's see Benny Thompson, 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.120 one's one. Michael Cohne was on TV this weekend begging 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.360 for one. We'll see how that all plays out. My 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.560 guess is there will be more pardons to come, and 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.400 preemptive pardons, and you know, later on we have you know, 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.560 and this is a great point made in James Comer's 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.399 new book, which is The All the President's Money, Investigating 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.200 the secret foreign schemes that made the Biden family rich. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.280 One of the points he makes in the book is, 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.000 you know, Joe Biden, for most of his adult life, 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.200 like fifty years, made less than two hundred thousand dollars 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.959 a year. And you know he was able to buy 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:39.240 you know, a number second multimillion dollar mansion. Well, how 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.600 is that financially feasible? My understanding is his wife is 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:43.160 a teacher. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.440 Not exactly. It does not lend. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.600 Itself to buying multimillion dollar oceanfront homes, but I guess 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.040 they were able to do it. He goes through great 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:58.880 depth and an incredible footnoting I'm sure that there is 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.040 the threat of or lawsuit probably hanging over his head, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.920 but you read the book, you decide on your own. Certainly, 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.240 we know we were lied to, and we know that 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.320 Hunter's laptop. And by the way, Hunter, when he received 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.120 the pardon, that eliminates any ability of him now to 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.560 claim the fifth and he would maybe have to answer 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.600 if there's an investigation questions like well, what do you 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.240 mean you give half your income to Pops. What do 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.840 you mean that you know all these conversations with your 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.679 financial guy out of what account you need to take 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.399 the money out of to pay for Pops' home refairs? 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.360 Then he's gonna have to answer other questions than Joe 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.840 himself lied when he said he never once talked to 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.000 his son, as brother, or anybody for that matter, about 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.239 their farm business deals. You know, Comer has it somewhere 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.000 around thirty plus million million dollars that they took in 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.120 with no apparent work done. We know all about Parisma, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.760 the energy giant in Ukraine. We know all about CEFC, 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.880 the energy giant out of China. We know about the 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.360 WhatsApp message. I'm sitting here with my father and with 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.200 everybody he knows, and my ability to hold the grudge. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.880 You're gonna regret not giving us the money. But anyway, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.680 we'll get into that in some specificity, in detail. But 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.920 Joe Biden has a week to issue whatever other pardons 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.200 he's gonna issue. We go now to the disaster that 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.040 is out in California, and I'm not sure how they're 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.800 going to deal with another seventy two hours of hell 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.480 and one hundred mile per hour wins, Santa Anna wins 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.680 a kicking back in again and different areas now in 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.200 california're bracing for the absolute worst. Apparently the fires are 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.960 spreading now, threatening bel air. A lot of these fires 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.440 still have not been fully contained, not even close to 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.880 fully contained. You have many historical landmarks that have been 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.880 lost here, including by the way, the Getty Arts Center 0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:01.000 is facing flames. Hollywood stars, interestingly, more than ever, are 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:06.400 speaking out against the radical left leadership out in California, 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.120 from Gaven Newsom, the governor, to to Karen Vass the mayor. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.640 Out there the you know, we now have. 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:18.360 Over twelve thousand plus structures that have been destroyed, twenty 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.080 four people. Now the death toll has risen to twenty 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.000 four that we know of. That number likely to go higher. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.240 I hope it does not. And you know, then we have, 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.800 you know, other issues that have come up. You know, 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.040 it comes down to the basics. If anyone can explain 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.560 to me why they cut the fire department budget while 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.320 simultaneously planning to spend billions and billions of dollars on 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.720 wind turbines, Why they were spending between federal and state 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.840 dollars six hundred and fifty million to make the Port 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:53.440 of Los Angeles green and why they didn't prioritize hydrants. 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.440 Governor Newsom was asked by Anderson Cooper about why the 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.240 hydrants aren't working. Well, that's a local issue. Well, the 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.160 state is known for wildfires, and the state, you know, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.760 is known for Santa Ana wins. All of these things 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.440 are predictable. And it goes back to my point that 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.839 I kept making last week. You know that there is 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.400 a science to forestry. You can get a degree in it. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.640 And why they didn't have controlled burns and they gave 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.040 into environmental radicalism and extremism, then not cleaning out the 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.520 brush it might hurt some endangered species. Why they were 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.040 dumping so much water into the Pacific Ocean from northern 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:36.040 California rather than following through on a twenty fourteen referendum 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.799 that allocated monies by. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:40.960 The taxpayers directly. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.599 They're the ones that approved it for five separate reservoirs, 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.200 and not one of them were ever built. How was 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.520 it that the reservoir in the Pacific Palastate States was empty? 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.560 And then you know, when asked about it, some people 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.040 just flat out denied the reality that it was empty. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.479 Well play later in the in the program, I think 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.400 this is important. You know, Gavin Newsom now is in 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.080 the middle of Trump Proof in California. I think they're 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.200 planning to spend fifty million dollars to put aside for 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.680 lawsuits against Donald Trump and blasting Donald Trump for pointing 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:22.440 out obvious criticisms, legitimate criticisms, not gratuitous criticisms about the 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.000 handling of what's gone on out on out there. And 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.440 you know, Trump is threatening first responders with the threat 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.479 to with whole federal support. I think Donald Trump is 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.960 saying that they are going to have to be conditions. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.719 You're going to have to change the way you approach 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:45.280 firefighting and wildfires knowing you have predictable Santa Anna wins 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.200 and that's just common sense. And Gavin telling a reporter 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.440 that I have you know, I have the same questions 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.800 you're asking about what happened to our water system. He's 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.680 been either lieutenant governor or governor or mayor of a 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.479 big city for decades now. I'm not exactly sure where 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.599 that question is coming from. Or let's stop the finger pointing, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.960 let's assess the truth. I'm not interested in who's to 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.440 blame we need to know who's to blame here. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:14.520 Now. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.920 The La Fire chief, who's been under criticism for implementing 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:23.360 DEI policies, had a very honest press conference saying that 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.920 city officials failed us as it in terms of not 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.960 having water in hydrants, also going on to say that 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.920 the firefighters were not made aware that the Santa Nez 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.440 reservoir was empty. I don't know how that's possible. These 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.200 are questions that have to be answered, or how the 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.520 La Fire Department is underfunded and understaff. But she made 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.240 that warning long before they ever made the cuts to 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:53.160 the LAFD, and it's pretty remarkable that this is where 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:57.200 we now find ourselves. You know, three years ago, Karen Bass, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.880 the mayor, promised to cut back on her world travel 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.000 focus on the city, but she was in Ghana at 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.520 the time that the fires broke out. Didn't seem to 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.240 have any urgency to get back any faster. Last year, 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.160 you have this water chief who's being paid seven hundred 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.640 and fifty thousand dollars a year, apparently knew about the 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.640 empty reservoir and broken hydrants months before the fires, did 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:24.120 nothing about it. There was an awkward moment when Gavin 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.280 was corrected by a reporter after making one hundred and 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.680 seventeen million gallon mistake while while hitting out against Donald 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:37.120 Trump and knew someom defending the fire response with a 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.880 fact check site linking to Democratic Party fundraising platforms. I mean, 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.000 this is we're going to raise money off the fires. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:44.280 Now. 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.760 I don't think people in California really want the money 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.440 to go to the Democratic Party. No, thank you, the 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.000 LA Fire chief, saying I warned, I rang the bell. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.640 Details how these devastating cuts, you know, led to a 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:06.160 lot of this anyway, The fire chief warrened Karen Bass 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.880 two months ago that the department only had half the 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.760 staff according to the Washington Free Beacon, that it needed 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.480 to fight wildfires, and she warned these city officials in 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.120 November her department had about half as many firefight fighters 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.600 as they needed. And still months ago, they cut the 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.839 budget by seventeen point six million dollars again while still 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:31.600 simultaneously planning billions in spending for wind turbines and six 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.000 hundred and fifty million to make the Port of La green. 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.120 I don't think they're prioritizing their money. Well, there's a 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.960 lot of criticism, A lot of people in the Pacific Palisades. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.320 It's a pretty affluent area, and it looks like some 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.240 of the people that lived there that have money in 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.360 left wing Los Angeles were able to fire hire rather 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.080 and I guess I never knew this was even possible. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.440 But you can hire firefighters that were or privately to 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.000 prioritize and protect your home, and they're under heavy fire 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.440 for doing so. And I'm sorry, I don't criticize these people. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.800 If the answer is this is a legitimate business and 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.720 these people can protect your home in the city is 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.720 not going to protect your home because they have an empty, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:24.000 empty reservoir and they have hydrants that don't work, and 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.000 there's not enough firefighters to begin with. The idea that 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.480 you want to protect your home is not so far 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.880 fetched to me. And if they had the money to 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.760 pay for private firefighters to protect their homes, you know, 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.280 I mean, I guess good for them, But you know, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.640 then it comes down to, you know, well, what about 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.439 the equity, what about the people that can't afford it. Well, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.240 they're not going to be able to afford it, that's 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:52.800 the answer, And I don't think you can criticize them. 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.200 The ideal situation would be that the government does its 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.000 job and protects everybody, that would be the real answer. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.000 And firefighting has to be a top priority, especially in 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.839 a state known for wildfires and drought like California, though 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.400 this was not a drought year out there, a critical 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.360 LA firefighting plane was grounded after a civilian drone put 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.480 a hole in its wing, you know, adding insult to 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.640 injury here. The FBI is investigating this troubling incident. We 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.239 have an ex con who was caught torching LA neighborhoods 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.720 turns out to be a Biden illegal. 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:30.920 What does that mean? 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.640 If that person was an ex con, that means that 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.319 they were in custody. But of course sanctuary status in 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.800 LA and in California would never allow them to be 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.199 turned over to ICET, which means they go back into 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.240 the public. But according to the New York Post, it's 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.720 kind of an inconvenient detail about the fires. I doubt 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.840 the mainstream mob state run media is going to say 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.319 anything about it. It turns out the guy they caught 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:04.800 one around Los Angeles Friday, as he was allegedly torching 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.080 discarded Christmas trees with a flame thrower, is a Biden illegal. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.240 I wonder if anyone's going to ask these politicians about 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:16.360 their sanctuary status after this? Is anyone going to ask 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.199 Newsome or Bass or Biden? 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:19.320 Probably not. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.040 But the headline is suspect arrested with flamethrower near La 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.400 fire is an illegal immigrant, according to sources, and this 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.280 homeless guy tackled and zip tied by onlookers who say 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.440 he was trying to start fires with a blow torch 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:34.920 near La By the way, how did he get a 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:39.000 blow torch? Is an illegal immigrant who will likely be 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.120 protected by California's sanctuary status. Well that's about to come 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.240 to an end in a week. The suspect of Mexican 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.840 national in the US illegally anyway. He was arrested in 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.320 Woodland Hills near the Kenneth fire on Thursday. The Kenneth 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:59.040 fires burned more than one thousand acres one point six 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.640 square mile over three days in La and Ventura Counties. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.600 And video that when viral shows neighbors cornering and then 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.920 detaining this guy as he holds up holds what one 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.040 resident described as a flamethrower on the street, with one 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.280 man yelling at him put it down. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:15.960 Put it down. 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.560 One neighbor telling KTLA that she was in her backyard 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.280 when she heard a car screech to a stop and 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.680 a man yelling that someone was trying to start a fire. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.280 A few people surrounded him, got him on his knees, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.920 they got some zip ties and a rope, were able 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.880 to do a citizen's arrest, and that it's not the 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.720 job of the people in Ventura and the people of 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.200 California to be arresting this guy, who, apparently, if he 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.360 was an ex con, had no business being there to 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:42.840 start with. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:44.480 You know. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:49.840 Now, Apparently these wildfires threatened California's twenty twenty eight Olympics, 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.199 which is supposed to be at Sofi Stadium, located nineteen 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.560 miles away from sections of the city that have been 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.160 ravaged by this fire. The one hundred year old the 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.800 Era Golf Club, where the world's best golfers will compete 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.400 for gold, is only five miles from the Pacific Palisades 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.680 fire and within a designated evacuation zone, so we'll see 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.559 what happens there. The Pentagon is calling for Mayor Karen 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.080 Bass's resignation or the I'm sorry the petition at the Pentagon, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.040 and it was at one hundred and twenty two thousand, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.760 five hundred and seventy four earlier today. If they could 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.400 find these people, I think they probably all would would 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.200 sign on to it. It's just it's know, this is 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.040 a preventable tragedy, and now we have at least seventy 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.160 two hours of Santa Ana Wins. Now it's threatening bel 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.320 Air and other parts of Los Angeles. I can only 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.440 imagine what it's going to look like tonight. Twelve thousand 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:48.880 structures destroyed, twenty four dead, and you know, everyone's pointing 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.280 fingers at each other. And I'm going to tell you 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.560 who's going to end up paying for this? We the 0:14:54.600 --> 0:15:00.560 American taxpayers. Watch you, you'll see, Oh, in Mexico and 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:06.600 Canada are sending firefighters, and Ukraine is sending firefighters. Why 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.240 they didn't prepare for this, I don't know. Al Right 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.400 twenty five now to the top of the hour, eight 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.400 hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.840 join us one week from today Inauguration Day, we'll get 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:17.280 to that in a second. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:17.560 Here. 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.240 The winds called Santa Anna wins. If you don't live 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:27.680 in California, I mean, they're predictable, they happen often, when 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:33.280 they happen simultaneously with wildfires. This is the predictable result. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:34.920 It just is. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.120 And if you look at the Palisades fire alone grew 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.320 to more than twenty three thousand acres, that's half the 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.600 size of Brooklyn, New York. If you want a comparison, 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:51.800 it was only as of yesterday eleven percent contain. We 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.680 expect strong gusts now for the next three days, which 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.600 is going to complicate things. Now it seems to be 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.080 headed the fire. That is to the neighborhood of Brentwood, 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:10.520 which is a small enclave crammed with multimillion dollar mansions. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.760 That's where Vice President Harris lives, Lebron James lives, also 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.120 home to like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, doctor Dre But 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.560 that's the next community in the crosshairs of the one 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:29.240 of the worst fire disasters in history. And it is Yeah, 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:30.840 and I got to give credit. We got to give 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.120 props to all of the people. I'll say thank you 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.920 to Canada, Mexico, but also to the states of Utah, Texas, Nevada, Oregon, Washington. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.560 You know, they've all gotten on board, they're all sending 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.880 in help. But that does not excuse the fact that 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.920 the LA Fire Chief said, we have only half the 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.800 man power we would need to deal with the wildfire. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.240 And you know, now coming in after twenty four are dead, 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.440 you know, is hardly reassuring to any And then we 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.760 had all the criticisms. There was a point where the 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.920 LA Fire Chief on Friday was called into Karen Bass's 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.439 office and a lot of speculation. It was even one 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.760 article that came out believing that she was fired. She 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:19.480 was not, but she was summoned, I guess on Friday afternoon, 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:26.000 fueling that speculation. And among the thousands of structured structures, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.720 I mean, you know names that you know, Anthony Hopkins, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.200 Billy Crystal, Spencer Pratt, what is it, Heidi Montag, I 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.400 don't even know. I don't know these people. I don't 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.800 care about Hollywood. I really don't care. Hollywood's influenced by 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.520 the way in the political arena. You know, there's so 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.239 hardcore leftist liberal Democrat that this is the government they 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.520 helped fight for, and this is the government that is 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:54.040 this incompetent and it may not seem relevant, but it 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.280 really is. These are the policies that would have been 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.920 implemented had Kamala Harris won This election, because this is 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.360 the radical environmentalism. What do you think the whole New 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.120 Green New Deal is rooted in It is rooted in this. 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:12.280 And you know, Governor Newsom is playing defense, and you 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.760 know he was playing verbal gymnastics. He was asked, you know, saying, well, 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.639 the state reservoirs were completely full. Well, the Pacific Palis 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.960 Staines Reservoir was not. In twenty fourteen, the state passed 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.440 a referendum that means the people vote directly on whether 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.000 they want to fund reservoirs in the state of California. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.280 They voted for that referendum, and they voted to build 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.399 five reservoirs. Most people understanding that it is a state 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.840 heavy with drought often this was not a drought year, 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:48.879 and understanding the need you know, for water during during 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.200 these times, and so they approved the money. And it's 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.040 hard to get people to approve money when you put 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.840 out a referendum referendum. But the reservoirs what Gavin was 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.120 saying this week, and were completely full, the state reservoirs 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:07.040 in southern California. You know that mistake and disinformation. I 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.320 don't think advantages anybody said to NBC News. Then the 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.280 reporter Pressedknewsom on his response, you know, pointing out how 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.120 the La County run Santa and As Reservoir was bone dry, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.640 something that even has prompted a probe from the governor. 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.960 You know, that's exactly what triggered my desire to get 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:32.120 to the investigation. Well, why didn't they prepare ahead of time? 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.560 And I'll play later in the program. My governor, Bron 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.760 Desantos was at mar A Lago and asked about this 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.359 and said if it would have been a Republican state 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:45.040 run by a Republican governor, we'd be excoriated for this response. 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.960 But Gavin's argument is that this is not a state 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.840 run system, which the President elect was referring to. The 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.560 President elect did not say it was a state run system. 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.680 You cannot negate these facts. The facts are and new 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.680 some A dressed this on very early on, saying, well, 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:07.560 these hydrants are not designed to take care of a wildfire. Well, okay, 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.480 then how do you get the water that is needed 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.159 to put out fires when you have Santa Ana winds 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.359 that are predictable in neighborhoods that are are like this. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.960 Why aren't you practicing the science of forestry nobody's ever 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.280 asked them that question that I've been able to see. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.680 But anyway, they missed the point that the water pressure 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.560 was a major debilitating issue. Not having hydrants that work 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:37.160 is a debilitating issue. You know the fact that as 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.800 they fight this wildfire, we learn more about. In a 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:45.199 video defending the DEI hiring practices, the deputy chief of 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:49.320 the Fire Department, who heads the Equity and Human Resources Bureau, 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:53.600 addressed accusations that female firefighters aren't strong enough to carry 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.560 a man out of a burning building, saying, he got 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:59.080 himself in the wrong place. If I have to carry 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.760 meaning the the victim would be in the wrong place 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.000 if I have to carry him out. In a fire 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:08.719 which went viral, I mean was apparently caught off guard 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.000 and the most devastating blaze in California history is incinerated 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:18.280 twenty six thousand acres that in a very populated area. 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.400 In critics arguing that the LA Fire Department had too many, 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:26.600 too much preoccupation with DEI vanity projects. This DEI head 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.960 was paid three hundred and seven thousand dollars a year 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.400 in twenty twenty three, and the deputy chief says, when 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.840 people's houses are burning down. They want a firefighter to 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:40.160 show up, you know, that's able to do the job. 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.399 And people just want someone to show up that's going 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.359 to stop their house from burning down. And then the 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.920 people that just gave up on the state and hired 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:53.560 their own firefighters, which I didn't know such such services existed. 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.399 I mean, why are we blaming them? I mean, they 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.280 just they just have come to a recognition that the 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.040 state's not going to be there for them, and they're 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:05.280 just trying to protect the home that they work so 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.800 hard to purchase and live in and don't want to 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:14.800 have burned to the ground. Anyway, there's a lot of criticism, 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:19.760 and other criticism is, you know, the governor soliciting donations 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:25.240 for victims via his superpack, which pushed users to add 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.800 their personal information to a Democratic fundraising site. I'm like, really, 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:32.240 we're going to talk about politics now. It's pretty bad. 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.639 And the next thing they're worried about is the potential 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.159 of looting. A southern California TikToker caught a group of 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:44.840 careless idiots launching lantern balloons with lit candles. Anyway, you 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.640 have grim Satellite photos taken by NASA show the out 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.920 of control fires. I mean, for all the talk about 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.840 the environment, the environment, the environment, what's the air quality? 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:54.120 Now? 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:59.520 Arrests now are soaring in fire ravage Los Angeles County, 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:03.280 mainly for looting. One guy caught dressed as a firefighter 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:08.240 while stealing from a home, prompting the more National Guard reinforcements. 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:12.240 I'm not sure why they weren't called in earlier. Anyway, 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:17.080 many people are upset. Vice President Harris's home is in 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:22.120 the enclave of Brentwood, which has now been evacuated. Harris 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.440 had an aid tweet last night the Vice President's neighborhood 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:28.680 in Los Angeles was put under an evacuation order. 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:30.640 No one was in her home at the time. 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.199 She intersect the second Gentleman and are now praying for 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.159 the safety of their fellow Californians. 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:38.919 And when is she going to be asked about this? Anyway? 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.960 Eight hundred and ninety four one seawan to be a 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.040 part of our program. It doesn't take away my thoughts 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.879 and prayers for the people of California. And then they 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:48.840
