1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, Luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: This is.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 3: But chief also checks another box when it comes to

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 3: inclusivity and diversity and this department. She's a proud member

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: of the LGBTQ community.

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 4: That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, Oh,

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 4: I didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me.

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 5: This is ain't nobody got timpany.

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: I'm super inspired.

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: She took time out of her already busy schedule to

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: tell us about her vision for the department's future, one

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 6: People ask me, what number are you looking for us.

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 7: I'm not looking for a number.

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: It's never an Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters,

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 3: only one hundred and fifteen are women. Right now, She's

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: already looking at ways to change that. She's quick to

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: point out that doing so has a greater purpose attracting

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 3: the best and brightest for the job.

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 7: They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 7: of a cohesa tea.

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 8: You might have recall a new story from last year.

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 8: There was some interest in the fire departments and the

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 8: firefighters in California, and the interest was whether there were

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 8: too many white men who were firefighters, and we need

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 8: to have a program in California to make sure we

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 8: don't have enough white men as firefighters.

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 5: They said, we have no water. I said, do you

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: have a drought? No, we don't have a drought. I said,

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 5: why did he have no water? Because the water isn't

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 5: allowed to flow down. It's got a natural flow from

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 5: Canada all the way up, no support more water than

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 5: they could have a use. And in order to protect

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 5: a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 5: water gets poured. I could have water for all of

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 5: that land, water for your forests. You know your forests

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 5: are dry as a bone. Okay, dangerous that water could

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 5: be routed. You know, you could have everything.

41
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: What is the situation with water? Obviously in the pal

42
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: sage ran at last night and the hydrants I was farted.

43
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 9: The firefighter in this block they laught because there were

44
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 9: no water in the hydrants here.

45
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 10: The local folks are going to figure that.

46
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 5: Out, do you go?

47
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 11: Citizens and apology for being absent while their homes were burning.

48
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 11: Great cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars.

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 3: Not in there.

50
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 11: Have you nothing to say today? Elon Mosque says that

51
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 11: you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, father mayor

52
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 11: have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today

53
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 11: if you're dealing with this disaster?

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 12: Who chose that song? Because watching the footage over the

55
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 12: last couple of days, there is a hellish feel to

56
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 12: what is happening. I have experienced horrible flooding growing up

57
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 12: in Southeast Texas and now having moved two hours west

58
00:03:52,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 12: to Houston, which I call home, Louisiana, Southeast Texas, Mississippi, Imma,

59
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 12: Florida particularly, have witnessed horrible flooding all along the Gulf

60
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 12: of America all along. I've never experienced fire, certainly nothing

61
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 12: like this.

62
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 6: In this way.

63
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 12: You know, natural disasters like this they take such a

64
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 12: psychological toll, especially on children and the elderly, and I've

65
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 12: seen it. It stays with people for years and years,

66
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 12: and it rocks you to your very foundation. Because a

67
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 12: house is stable and solid, it it can't just be

68
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 12: reduced to rubble. But of course they can. And people

69
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 12: of faith understand that when the Bible says, build your

70
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 12: home upon a rock, build your build your build your

71
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 12: respite upon a rock that is not a physical structure,

72
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 12: that that is being tethered to something meaningful, your faith.

73
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 12: And I see what's happening in Los Angeles, and it

74
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 12: is a combination of sadness but also anger because natural

75
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 12: disasters that are the result of nature we have to

76
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 12: live with with, to contend with, we have to react to.

77
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 12: But the preparation and reaction are man made. And what

78
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 12: I'm watching is absolute and utter failure. And that's what

79
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 12: we're going.

80
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 6: To talk about today. Let's go back to April of

81
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 6: twenty twenty one.

82
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 12: Donald Trump was out. Joe Biden had stolen the election.

83
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 12: He was president of the United States California's governor. By

84
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 12: the way, if you're wondering if I'm going to talk

85
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 12: about Jimmy Carter, No, I told you yesterday. I think

86
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 12: he's an awful He was an awful person, and I

87
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 12: have nothing nice to say about him, so I'm not

88
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 12: you know, the whole National Day of Mourning, Joe Biden

89
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 12: shut down to the America's economy today for a National

90
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 12: Day of morning. That's a hallmark holiday. It's not a

91
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 12: real holiday. It's not a National Day of Morning. Jimmy

92
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 12: Carter was not a good guy. I'm I'm not going anymore,

93
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 12: just so you know, I'm going to talk about the

94
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 12: wildfires this entire show, except for one segment of a

95
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 12: community in Texas Galveston where the sheriff is cracking down

96
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 12: on these freak off weekends where the community is under

97
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 12: attack by outsiders coming in. You see this all over

98
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 12: the country, and everything else is going to be wildfires today.

99
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 12: Because this is why we get involved in elections. Not

100
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 12: so that my team can win and your team can win,

101
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 12: not so that somebody we know can get a job

102
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 12: or a contract, but so that problems will be solved,

103
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 12: people will be protected, opportunity will be insured. California's governor

104
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 12: in April twenty one, Joe Biden's a new president, Gavin

105
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 12: newsomone to be president after him. He was happy to

106
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 12: explain how California's wildlife preparedness was going to be so

107
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 12: much better now that Joe Biden was in the White House.

108
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 12: This poortended bad things.

109
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 6: Give this a listen.

110
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 13: That's what's different now is we are committed as a team,

111
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 13: as a partnership with the legislature and other state agencies,

112
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 13: including now the federal government no longer a sparring partner,

113
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 13: but a working partner federal government where we're not addressing

114
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 13: headwinds but tailwinds. In terms of the support a memoran

115
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 13: of understanding, doubling our respective commitments to vegetation management and

116
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 13: forest management and prescribed burns to support the Biden administration

117
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 13: with resources, not just rhetoric, to help this collective cause.

118
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 13: It's a different paradigm, it's a different framework.

119
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, you can say that again. You can say that again.

120
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 12: Governor good Hair Gavin Newsom, who would like to be president,

121
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 12: telling America California is going.

122
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 6: To be more prepared for wildfires than ever. And well, Michael.

123
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: Berry The Michael Berry Show.

124
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 12: Gary Hoffman, superstar host co host of The Gary and

125
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 12: Shannon Show, which airs in Los Angeles, is our guest

126
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 12: with a local perspective. Gary makes some sense of what

127
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 12: we're watching. I mean, we can watch the footage, we

128
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 12: can wring our hands and gash our teeth. We all

129
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 12: understand broken big city government. Bring some sanity to this

130
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 12: for me, please.

131
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 9: Well, I wish, I wish I could. I mean, in

132
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 9: terms of the science, the climate science that went into

133
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 9: all of this. This was just a really bad combination

134
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 9: of things that happen in southern California on a regular basis.

135
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 9: We've had drought here in California pretty significantly over the

136
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 9: course of the last ten years, but the last two

137
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 9: years in twenty three and twenty four, we've had significant rainfall,

138
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 9: higher than average rainfall. So the way that works is

139
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 9: the grasses that grow in the hillside here in California

140
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 9: grow robustly in the spring and summertime, and then we

141
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 9: don't have any rain. And I'm not exaggerating. We've had

142
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 9: sixteen hundreds of an inch of rain in Los Angeles

143
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 9: since May, when we usually would have about five or

144
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 9: six inches by this point. So not only did those

145
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 9: new grasses dry out, cure get ready to burn, we've

146
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 9: had a pretty warm beginning to our winter, so that

147
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 9: all is the fuel that's ready to burn. And then

148
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 9: the wind event that we saw that came through starting

149
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 9: on Tuesday, with gusts as high as eighty to one

150
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 9: hundred miles an hour in some areas. The combination was awful.

151
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 9: Now at this point, it's not wind that starts fires,

152
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 9: it's not the fuel that starts fires. We don't know

153
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 9: what exactly started these fires. It could have been somebody

154
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 9: carelessly burning in their backyard. It could be power lines

155
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 9: that were knocked over by the high winds. I mean,

156
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 9: all of those things are things that have happened before.

157
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 9: But the combination of that, the timing of that, of

158
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 9: those factors, and then the location of it. The Pacific

159
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 9: Palisades fire is. I know, it's punctuated by a bunch

160
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 9: of celebrity names that people will recognize, but there are

161
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 9: thousands and thousands of people. For every one celebrity that

162
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 9: you see whose house burned down or was threatened, there

163
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 9: are thousands of people whose names you don't recognize who

164
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 9: have lost everything in these fires. And it goes beyond

165
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 9: the wild land aspect of the grasses. It goes to

166
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 9: the absolute power and force of fire that is blown

167
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 9: like a torch from one house to the next, and

168
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 9: then embers from trees or other things that burn that

169
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 9: get cast a mile two miles ahead of where the

170
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 9: burn is the active burn is, and starts new fires.

171
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 9: I mean, really, the only thing Tuesday night into Wednesday

172
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 9: morning that stopped the fire in the Pacific Palisades was

173
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 9: the Pacific Ocean, because that was the direction the wind

174
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 9: was blowing.

175
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: The other fire that popped up out.

176
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 9: Near Pasadena and Altadena, of course, famous for the Rose

177
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 9: Bowl and the Rose Parade that everybody saw last week.

178
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 9: That fire also started in the hills, blown towards the city,

179
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 9: towards the flatlands by these incredible, these incredible winds, and

180
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 9: just begins jumping house to house. And when those fires

181
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 9: burn as hot as they do, it's almost inevitable that

182
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 9: the fire will jump from house to house or building

183
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 9: to building, business to business. And it's just been I mean,

184
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 9: I've lived in California almost my entire life, and I've

185
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 9: been here in LA for more than twenty years, and

186
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 9: it's inadequate to say I've never seen anything like this.

187
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 9: It's it's more I don't know anybody who has seen

188
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 9: anything like this, regardless of where they've been fighting fires

189
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 9: or you know, taking care of natural disasters.

190
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 12: Gary Hoffman is our guest co host of The Gary

191
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 12: and Shanna Show. For those of you in Los Angeles,

192
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 12: you know that because you hear them daily. Gary, how

193
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 12: much how much do you what's the takeaway? What's the

194
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 12: residual when all this is done? I was in Lehina

195
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 12: last weekend in Maui, and people are They're mad, They're

196
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 12: still mad, They're angry, and it's a directed, focused anger

197
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 12: at the people responsible. You know, you've had the PG

198
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 12: and E fires, and then Gavin Newsom we had Susan

199
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 12: Crabtree on a couple of days ago to talk about

200
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 12: that PG and E's you know, eighty four felony manslaughters

201
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 12: against that corporation. How much of this a year from now?

202
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 12: How directed will people be at their anger? Because I

203
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 12: can tell you in New Orleans after Katrina, the failures

204
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 12: at the at the levee board, for instance, to this day,

205
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 12: people are still angry about it. What's the shelf life

206
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 12: of this response?

207
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,239
Speaker 9: Gosh, that's a great question because I think like those instances,

208
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 9: there's a certain amount of One of the factors I

209
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 9: should say in those situations is going to be personal responsibility.

210
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 9: What if I'm going to buy a how in Pacific Palisades,

211
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 9: I'm paying for living the life of living on a

212
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 9: bluff looking at the Pacific Ocean every single day. But

213
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 9: I have to take into account the fact that I

214
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 9: back right up to one of the most flammable one

215
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 9: of the most fire prone areas in all of southern California.

216
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: That aspect of.

217
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 9: Personal responsibility I think is bigger here because of that.

218
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 9: If you're talking about whether it's Lahina or New Orleans

219
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 9: after Hurricane Katrina, there's an expectation that there would never

220
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 9: be I mean that fire on Maui is still shocking

221
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 9: to see what happened and how it happened. The levees

222
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 9: breaking in New Orleans. I mean, that's a place where

223
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 9: that relies on levees. You never would expect there to

224
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 9: be something like that. This area of California burns all

225
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 9: the time. I mean, this is an annual event, a

226
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 9: fire like this. It's probably not the right way to

227
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 9: put it. This is an annual event fire in those locations.

228
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 9: It went well beyond what we had ever seen in

229
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 9: the past. As I referred to earlier. Now, the question

230
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 9: of what kind of you know, the residual anger that exists.

231
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 9: We're going to find out that there were failures. There's

232
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 9: always failures, We're human. There will be failures. But how

233
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 9: big was the failure? How long was the failure allowed

234
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 9: to go unnoticed and unrepaired?

235
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: And then who's going to pay the price? For it,

236
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: you know. I mean. One of the.

237
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 9: Big criticisms in the last twenty four hours has been

238
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,479
Speaker 9: that the Mayor of Los Angeles Pacific Palisades is technically

239
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 9: part of the City of Los Angeles. The Mayor of

240
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 9: Los Angeles was in Africa attending the inauguration of the

241
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 9: President of Ghana.

242
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: She left on Saturday knowing.

243
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 9: That the National Weather Service, the La County Fire Department,

244
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 9: LA City, and Fire Department CalFire had all been warning

245
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 9: about this very significant wind event, and they had developed

246
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 9: a term for that only been used a couple of times.

247
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 6: Gary, hold that thought up against the break. Gary hanged

248
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 6: right there, gry.

249
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 12: Gary Hoffman is our guest. He is co host of

250
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 12: the Gary and Shanna Show in Los Angeles.

251
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 6: Moore on these awful La fires.

252
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 12: I'll bet you we've got ten thousand sweet little ladies

253
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 12: of seventy or more that would make a pound case

254
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 12: that you could eat cold and enjoy.

255
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: And Michael Verry's show.

256
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 12: Gary Hoffman is our guest Los Angelino's. The good folks

257
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 12: of Los Angeles know him as a co host of

258
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 12: the Gary and Shanna Show. Very successful talk show hosts

259
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 12: in Los Angeles with perspective on exactly what's happening with

260
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 12: these fires and how this failed response is leading to

261
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 12: death and destruction in one of the great cities in

262
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 12: world history. Gary Hoffman, you were telling the story about

263
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 12: Karen Bass and I had to interrupt you, and there

264
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 12: was a phrase you were going to refer to. Can

265
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 12: you restart that conversation and take us up to that

266
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 12: for people that just tuned in.

267
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 9: So sure, the mayor of Los Angeles is being criticized.

268
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 9: She was out of town when these fires started, literally

269
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 9: out of state, out of the country, despite the fact

270
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 9: that everybody else in the southern California area was being

271
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 9: warned about this particularly dangerous situation, which is an official

272
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 9: term that the National Weather Service to describe the low humidity,

273
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 9: the high wind, the expectation that a simple red flag

274
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 9: fire warning wasn't going to be enough, that this was

275
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 9: a particularly dangerous event that we were looking at. This

276
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 9: was three days before the fire itself started. She still

277
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 9: went to Africa as part of a mission to attend

278
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 9: the inauguration of the President of Ganna, the incoming president,

279
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 9: and she did not come back. Well, first of all,

280
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 9: she left, she did not come back when she first

281
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 9: learned of the fires and eventually made her way back

282
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 9: to Los Angeles yesterday about midday, and has been criticized

283
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 9: roundly for leaving in the first place, but then coming

284
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 9: back and talking about the strength and the will of

285
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 9: the people of Pacific Palisades or other parts of Los

286
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 9: Angeles that may have suffered from damage from these fires

287
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 9: as well, and not just saying I screwed up. I'm

288
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 9: never going to allow this to happen again. We will

289
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 9: do the top to bottom evaluation of what happened with

290
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 9: fire hydrants losing pressure, with not having enough water available,

291
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 9: with not having enough cruise available either through La City

292
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 9: or La County Fire Department, with not pre positioning the

293
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 9: assets the way that we should have done, even though

294
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 9: we had all the warning in the world that there

295
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 9: was going to be potential catastrophe in the hills.

296
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 12: You live there, you know better. Folks around the country

297
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 12: when they find out I'm from Houston, are often surprised

298
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 12: that we have a Democrat mayor, although we have kind

299
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 12: of a conservative Democrat. Now this is a new thing.

300
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 12: It could have been Sheila Jackson Lee who made an

301
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 12: ask for herself for the entire country. Probably no, she

302
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 12: barely lost and has since passed. But they're shocked to

303
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 12: find out we have a Democrat mayor. And I say,

304
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 12: what's worse than that. We've never had a Republican mayor.

305
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 12: I ran and didn't win because I'm a Republican. But

306
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 12: we have a Harris County, which used to be a

307
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 12: solidly read county, has a Democrat county judge and she

308
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 12: did the exact same thing. She's gone on junkets when

309
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 12: major catastrophes are occurring, and the media doesn't want to

310
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 12: take her to task, but eventually they kind of have to.

311
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 12: It's these people that get elected like Joe Biden to

312
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 12: play golf or sit on the beach, or to go

313
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 12: on these junkets. This is a real job, the rubber hit.

314
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 12: It's the road in municipal government. You know, the federal

315
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 12: government can go on break. What are you going to

316
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 12: miss your Social Security check? But when the local government,

317
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 12: which is police and fire and roads and this goes down,

318
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 12: we've got a real problem. And that's what we're seeing

319
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 12: is a collapse of what has been historically a great city.

320
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 12: And that's frustrating as a fellow American to watch.

321
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, my co host Shannon put it well today, she said,

322
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 9: I expect four things from my city. I expect police, fire, roads,

323
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 9: and water, and that's it. I don't need special programs.

324
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: They're nice.

325
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 9: I don't need, you know, arts in the schools, they're nice.

326
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 2: That's not what.

327
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 9: That's not the four primary things you want from a

328
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 9: municipal government. Police, fire, roads, and water, and that's it.

329
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 9: And in each of those instances, when you look at

330
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 9: the context of what we're dealing with here in LA

331
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 9: for the last forty eight seventy two hours, specifically Karen Vass,

332
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 9: but other leaders have failed on each of those four points,

333
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 9: and there's nothing left. I mean, there are people that

334
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 9: are definitely calling for her resignation. We've seen that before.

335
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 9: I don't think that's going to happen, but it is

336
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 9: one of those wake up calls. I'm hoping for people

337
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 9: to stop just anointing the same kind of candidate over

338
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 9: and over again, where they've paid their dues finger quotes,

339
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 9: they've paid their dues by working on the county council

340
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 9: or in Karen Vass's case, she worked in the State Assembly.

341
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 9: She was the speaker of the State Assembly, she was

342
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 9: a member of Congress and sort of rising through the ranks.

343
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 9: Giving a politician the same job with a different title

344
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 9: is not working in the state of California. But it's

345
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 9: hard because people either vote for comfort or they vote

346
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 9: based on feelings. They don't based on they don't vote

347
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 9: based on those four core things that need to be

348
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 9: provided to us by our government.

349
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 12: Also worth noting she was on the short list to

350
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 12: be Joe Biden's vice president because she checks the three

351
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 12: boxes that he desperately wanted, which is black woman stupid.

352
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 12: I want to ask you a question. An anchor at

353
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 12: Fox eleven in Los Angeles tried to dismiss, Uh, there

354
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 12: are songs that are better than this song.

355
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 6: I just can't think of what they are. There are

356
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: songs that are as good as this.

357
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 12: Skinner's Got ten for instance, the band has stop here.

358
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 12: There's a few other musical acts over the years, including Elvis.

359
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 12: But this is as good a song as as there is.

360
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 12: And when he gets to the end and does the.

361
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 11: Lot that that that that that.

362
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 12: The scats, I guess they call it. Artists just can't

363
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 12: do that the way Black Guy's kids and they all

364
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 12: did it back there. It is Hey, we don't have

365
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 12: any we're out of lyrics here, and we got twenty

366
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 12: minutes in the studio.

367
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 6: Have otis whistle. We'll get back to it later.

368
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 12: Well, no, you won't, No, you won't, because he crashed

369
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 12: and that would become the signature of that song.

370
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 6: Shot.

371
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 12: I wanted to talk to Gary Hoffman of Gary and

372
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 12: Shannon's show on kf I, our sister station where they

373
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 12: anchor a show Los Angeles time Pacific UH time nine

374
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 12: in the morning till one pm, because they very engaged

375
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 12: with this issue of the wildfires, which is just.

376
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 6: The whole nation is watching.

377
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 12: And I have to tell you, those of you who

378
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 12: are longtime listeners to our show will know that I

379
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 12: typically do not talk about the news of the day,

380
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 12: especially if it's a fire or a flood, or I

381
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 12: leave that to the TVs or a school shooting. I

382
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 12: don't let what CNN is covering determine what I'm going

383
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 12: to talk about.

384
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: Or Fox News for that matter.

385
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 12: But what we are witnessing right now is exhibit A

386
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 12: in why elections matter. And there is a great frustration

387
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 12: to me at election time that people will say to me, well,

388
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 12: I just don't know if I'm gon vote for all

389
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 12: so and so because I'm not sure if he likes

390
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 12: black people, or I'm not sure if he likes women,

391
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 12: or I think we need more diversity and go an office,

392
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 12: or I'm a woman and she's a woman, so i

393
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 12: think I'll vote for her because she's a woman. This

394
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 12: is no basis upon which to choose the quarterback of

395
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 12: your football team, much less to choose who's going to

396
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 12: be in a position to make sure that when a

397
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 12: fire breaks out, your city is prepared. Because when you

398
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 12: choose people for the wrong reasons their qualifications to get them,

399
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 12: there will be how they lead. So if the only

400
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 12: thing you've ever done to earn a four hundred thousand

401
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 12: dollars job as the diversity director for the fire department

402
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 12: is bitch about the white firefighters, then what's going to

403
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 12: happen when the fire breaks out?

404
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 6: Because you don't know you never fought a fire.

405
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 12: My buddy Jesse Kelly said that it looks like Los

406
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 12: Angeles is staffing a softball team with all these fat

407
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 12: lesbians rather than leaders of a department to save lives.

408
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 12: And guess what, even if your goal was to screw

409
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 12: over the white people, who's getting.

410
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 6: Hurt by this?

411
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 12: Who can least afford to have their home burned down.

412
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 12: The Palisades folks they got insurance and they'll just move

413
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 12: to Aspen. These folks, the poor, the working poor, these

414
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 12: people are going to suffer. You look at what happened

415
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 12: in Lehina. Sure there are rich people on Maui. They

416
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 12: just hop islands, they just go somewhere else. But poor

417
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 12: people they can't recover. They may not have insurance. Is

418
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 12: that a bad decision maybe, but that's the reality. So

419
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 12: I want you to listen to Gavin Nusom back in

420
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 12: twenty twenty one to catch you back up to speed.

421
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 12: I'm sorry I had to interrupt this, but here he

422
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 12: is explaining that wildfire preparedness will be better since we

423
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 12: got Trump out and we got Biden in. This was

424
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 12: right after Biden came into office.

425
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 6: Listen to this.

426
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 13: That's what's different now is we are committed as a team,

427
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 13: as a partnership with the legislature and other state agencies,

428
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 13: including now the federal government. No longer a sparring partner,

429
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 13: but a working partner federal government, where we're not addressing

430
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 13: headwinds but tailwinds in terms of the support. A memoranda

431
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 13: of understanding, doubling our respective commitments to vegetation management and

432
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 13: forest management and prescribed burns to support the Biden administration

433
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 13: with resources, not just rhetoric, to help this collective cause

434
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 13: it's a different paradigm, it's a different framework.

435
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, the proofs in the pudding.

436
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 12: Speaking of putting ahead, Joe Biden flew into California to

437
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 12: review the situation. You know, he thought he'd take it,

438
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 12: you know, because he house burned down, or so he says,

439
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 12: it didn't there was a little kitchen fire, but he

440
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 12: loves to say that. And upon reviewing, he announced that

441
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 12: his takeaway was, you know, I'm a great grandfather today.

442
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 12: Oh well, well that's that's what you take away from

443
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 12: touring all the devastation.

444
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 6: We got the kids news, he still standing.

445
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 12: The good news is I'm a great grandfathers the dead.

446
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: Girl boy, so.

447
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 6: Take a long recess.

448
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 12: Of course, he didn't claim the little girl born to

449
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 12: the stripper in Arkansas that uh Hunter impregnated and denied

450
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 12: paternity until it was he was forced by the courts

451
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 12: to prove it.

452
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 3: Uh.

453
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 12: He didn't claim that child because well, yeah, yeah, so

454
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 12: he's going.

455
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 6: To be a great grandfather. He not even a good grandfather.

456
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 12: Just asked the granddaughter in Arkansas that he refuses to

457
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 12: even acknowledge.

458
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 6: How would you like that your your grandfather is the.

459
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 12: President of the United States and he denies you or

460
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 12: his grandchild even after the tests were taken.

461
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 6: And prove it.

462
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 12: You remember when Joe Rogan, when Donald Trump was on

463
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 12: the Joe Rogan podcast a few months ago. Kind of

464
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 12: interesting that it veered into this. President Trump explained why

465
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 12: California continues to have wildfires, and boy does he nail this.

466
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 6: Listen carefully.

467
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 5: They said, we have no water. I said, do you

468
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 5: have a drought? No, we don't have a drought. I said,

469
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: what did he have no water? Because the water isn't

470
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: allowed to flow down? It's got a natural flow from

471
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 5: Canada all the way up north of the more water

472
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: than they could have he use, and in order to

473
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 5: protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets

474
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons

475
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 5: of water gets poured. I could have water for all

476
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 5: of that land, water for your forests. You know your

477
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: forests are dry as a bone. Okay, dangerous. That water

478
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 5: could be routed. You know, you could have everything, not

479
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 5: only dangerous. Billions of dollars a year they spend on

480
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 5: forests farret and you know, there's a case with the environment.

481
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 5: They're not allowed to rake their forests because you're not

482
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 5: allowed to touch it. And all they have to do is

483
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: clean their forest, meaning break it up, get rid of

484
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 5: the leaves, get rid of you know, leaves that are

485
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 5: sitting there for five years, and they'll certainly get rid

486
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: of the dead fall and get rid of the trees

487
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 5: that are falling in them.

488
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 12: When you go buy furniture, you're looking at furniture and

489
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,880

490
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,160

491

Speaker 12: and your beach house, and you're not gonna know until

492
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 12: they get it inside and get it all set up,

493
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 12: and it's too late by then. So what Mac did

494
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 12: is he invested in technology so he can show you

495
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 12: what the furniture is going to look like in your place,

496
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 12: and when they get there, they're gonna set it up

497
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,120
