Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: Welcome in we have it feels like we got a

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: lot of awful stories sometimes that stack up, and today

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: is one of them. For many of you on the

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: West Coast. I'm Clay Travis, He's Buck Sexton. We are

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: here with you for the next three hours trying to

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: bring sense to an otherwise insane world. We appreciate all

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: of you spending your time with us. As we sit

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: here counting down the days until Donald Trump is inaugurated

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: and takes back control of the United States government. There

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: continues to be activity on Capitol Hill, a Republican speaker

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: and a Republican Senate. We will break down the latest there.

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: There's interesting moving parts. But as I'm sure many of

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: you have been paying attention to since yesterday evening when

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: wildfire started and then the wins kicked up, there is

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: just an awful situation in LA. Lots of homes being

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: burned down, many people being put in incredible peril, and

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: we certainly are following that. We know many of you

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: probably are listening on your radios in the Los Angeles

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: area to us right now, aware of everything that is

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: awful that is taking place in so many different communities

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: out there. But we've talked about this before, Buck, But I

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: went away to college in Washington, d C. I've lived

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: in Nashville for the vast majority of my life. But

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: the city that I've probably spent the most time in,

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: certainly over the last fifteen years or so, other than

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: my home, is Los Angeles. I have a ton of

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: friends out there. I've spent a great deal of time

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: working at Fox Sports, variety of different television programs, many

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: amazing friends and family that live in that area now,

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: and so I know these area as well. I know

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 2: you've spent a decent amount of time in Los Angeles also.

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: But for those of you out there that might not

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: be paying as much attention or have not had the

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: news on this morning, let me give you a little

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: bit of an update here from the press conferences that

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: have recently occurred. This is La County Fire Chief Marony

39
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Moroney explaining there's over five thousand acres burned, no

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: containment that has happened so far, still two thousand acres burning.

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: Listen to this as what it sounds like. This is

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: the latest in Los Angeles, La County.

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: The Palisades Fire is located in both La City and

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: La County. We have well over five thousand acres that

45
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: have burned and the fire is growing. We have no

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: percentage of containment. We have an estimated one thousand structures

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: destroyed and also no reported fatalities and a high number

48
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: of significant injuries to residents who did not evacuate, in

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: addition to first responders who are on the fire line.

50
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: For the Eton fire, it is located in both the

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: Angelus National Forest, the Alta Dina area of La County,

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: and Pasadena. We have over two thousand acres burning at

53
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: this time and the fire continues to grow with zero

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: percent containment, and unfortunately, we have two reported fatalities to civilians.

55
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: So that is the absolute latest. That was just in

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: a press conference. Here is the CBS News National correspondent

57
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: Jonathan Vigliati explaining what exactly he is seeing in terms

58
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: of how rapidly this fire has been spreading because the

59
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: winds are so strong and so significant, carrying the flames

60
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: so many different directions. Listen to cuttoo.

61
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: We're here at the heart of the Pacific Polisades in

62
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 4: a neighborhood that is a total loss.

63
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: You've got a home here. I'm going to flip over here, another.

64
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: Home loss coming, go over this way, homes out my street.

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: Con this one completely leveled. The firefighters here, they're not

66
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: trying to save these structures.

67
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 5: They're trying to prevent these clams.

68
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: From jumping to other neighborhoods to see all these efforts.

69
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: In some cases, they're being carried more than a mile

70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: in advance of these source flames lighting other homes on fire.

71
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: So Buck, we'll get into some of the responses that

72
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: have not been occurring at a level that Los Angeles

73
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: residents deserve here in a little bit. But for right now,

74
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: it's a true calamity that is befalling the nation's second

75
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: biggest city, and it is getting worse. It would appear

76
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: right now before it's going to get better, given the

77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: winds are still whipping around my understanding this morning in

78
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: Los Angeles in a fairly significant way.

79
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 6: It's horrific, Clay, and people are able to see so

80
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 6: many different perspectives of this because of the instant connectivity

81
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 6: that we all have. The videos from inside of living

82
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 6: rooms as there are flames, you know, lapping at the

83
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 6: at the fence nearby, or at the pool nearby, from

84
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 6: people's homes.

85
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: It's very visceral.

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 6: All all feels too real for people who are just

87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 6: observing this because of the ability that we have to

88
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 6: get those those real time images. The actor James Woods,

89
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw this. He had just

90
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 6: I believe, just finished construction on a home in the area,

91
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: and he had video that he shared of the flames

92
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 6: right right off his deck. I mean, this is what

93
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 6: people are dealing with, and he's not sure what the status,

94
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 6: you know, Thoughts and prayers to James and his wife

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 6: and family. I think James and his wife are fine,

96
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 6: based on what I've seen on acts. They got out.

97
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 6: But people have lost homes, They've lost everything in the homes,

98
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: thousands of them, and it's it's a tragic. It's a

99
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 6: tragic situation that's playing out. And I understand that, you know,

100
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 6: we don't want to politicize things. You don't want to

101
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 6: move into the Okay, a bad thing happens. Now, let

102
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 6: me find some way to assert how this fits into

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 6: my own political framework.

104
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: But I think you also have to look at.

105
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: This responsibly and say, is los Angeles prepared for this

106
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 6: kind of a situation under a natural disaster. Is there

107
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 6: forestry management in the state of California still a huge problem.

108
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 6: There are clips of Trump talking about this from years

109
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 6: ago where he's like, they're doing a terrible job. They

110
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 6: won't clear the underbrush because of the environmentalists, and then

111
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 6: it just burns too hot and too fast and it's

112
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 6: too dangerous. I mean there's and I even gotten to

113
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 6: the mayor of last I think we should play the

114
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 6: mayor of Los Angeles is gone. For those of you

115
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 6: out there who do not know, there was a highly

116
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 6: contested mayoral race in Los Angeles between two Democrats. So

117
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 6: this is a Democrat battle, Rick Caruso, who is a

118
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 6: very successful billionaire developer, and Karen Bass. Karen Bass won.

119
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 6: She's in Ghana. We'll talk about that in a sect. Yes,

120
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 6: Africa right now watching the Ghana East president be inaugurated supposedly,

121
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 6: so she's not even a present.

122
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: But here is Rick Caruso saying.

123
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: This is on Fox eleven News, that there's no water

124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: coming out of the fire hydrants. They have not done

125
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: the appropriate prep to be able to handle something like this.

126
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: Listen to cut five.

127
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 7: What is most concerning to me is our first responders,

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 7: in our firefighters who are trying to battle this. There's

129
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 7: no water in the Palace state. There's no water coming

130
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 7: out of the fire hydrant. This is an absolute mismanagement

131
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 7: by the city, not the firefighter's fault, but it's further city.

132
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 5: And I'm going to be very honest.

133
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 7: We've got a mayor that's out of the country, and

134
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 7: we've got a city that's burning, and there's no resources

135
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 7: to put out fires. So if you look at your pictures,

136
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 7: you don't see the firefighters there because there's nothing they

137
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 7: can do. It looks like we're in a third world

138
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 7: country here.

139
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: That's Rick Caruso buck again highly contested mayoral battle, the

140
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: current mayor of Los Angeles not there, supposedly flying back

141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: from Africa.

142
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 1: But what he's talking about.

143
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: Rick Caruso, for those of you who don't know, ran

144
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: basically as a Rudy Giuliani Michael Bloomberg esque character, right

145
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: while he was more Republican, a little bit to the right,

146
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: but still many in many ways having to appeal to

147
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: a Democrat base. But this is and I know, and

148
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: by the way, if you are dealing with these fires,

149
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: right now, and you are listening to us, and you

150
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: want to tell us what you are seeing. Eight hundred

151
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: and two eight two two eight a two. We have

152
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: a huge LA Area audience. I would like to hear

153
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: from people there. And to Rick Caruso's point, Buck, there

154
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: are tons of people out there.

155
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 5: I know.

156
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: We've got a clip of the actor.

157
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: Steve Gutenberg, who I saw out on the street trying

158
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: to help people, trying to get people safe. Let's play

159
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: that cut too. They're a ton of amazing people out there.

160
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: But the infrastructure, as Rick Caruso just said, is not

161
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: allowing the good people to do the most good. In

162
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: other words, much of the government is getting in the

163
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: way of the better instincts of so many people. Here's

164
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: Steve Gutenberg one more clip from on the ground talking

165
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 2: about the challenges in Pacific Palisades.

166
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: He know Palisades Drive.

167
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 8: If anybody has a car and they leave their car,

168
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 8: leave the keys in the car so that we can

169
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 8: move your car, so that these fire trucks can get

170
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 8: up Palisades Drive. What's happening is people take their keys

171
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 8: with them as if they're in a parking lot. This

172
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 8: is not a parking lot. We really need people to

173
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 8: move their cars. So if you leave your car in

174
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 8: Palisades Drive, leave the key in there so a guy

175
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 8: like me can move your cars and get them up there,

176
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 8: so that so that these fire trucks can get up there.

177
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 8: It's really really important.

178
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for talking to us. Live sir.

179
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: What's her name? My name is Steve Guttenberg. Steve live

180
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: in the area.

181
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 8: I live right up the hill and thank goodness, but

182
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 8: I have friends up there right now and they can't

183
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 8: evacuate because it's stuck on Kalistates Drive.

184
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: So that is the actor many people will know buck

185
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: Steve Gutenberg, which he's not even you know, he's just

186
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: trying to help his community. But it is that clip

187
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: woind viral. You can see him standing amidst the fire,

188
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: trying to help people out and evacuate people who need help.

189
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 6: And I think that this is it's worth noting that

190
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 6: this is not the first of these kinds of fires

191
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 6: in even recent years. I mean, you can go back

192
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 6: and what was that I'm looking here, Clay at in

193
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: twenty twenty there were really rough yeah, you know, wildfires

194
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 6: out by this way. I mean, this is you know,

195
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 6: this is a fire season that this may be the

196
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 6: worst of any individual fire, but rough fire seasons have

197
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 6: been happening for years, and there is an issue of

198
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 6: forestry management and resources because they're putting right, if the

199
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: state of California is spending as they are, millions and millions,

200
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 6: I think they've even put you know, in the billions

201
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 6: toward this over time. Yeah, since twenty eleven, this has

202
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 6: from twenty twenty, they've spent six hundred million dollars on

203
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 6: fire prevention efforts. Now, so you could assume now it's

204
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 6: gone up considerably. It's probably over a billion dollars on

205
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 6: fire prevention. And you say, well, what have they been

206
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 6: able to accomplish with this? When the mayor is gone

207
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 6: and when there's no water in the no water for

208
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: the fire hoses from the hydrants, and the evac efforts

209
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: are hamstrung by a lack of necessary personnel. What are

210
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 6: people supposed to say? I've also seen, and this is troubling,

211
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 6: just to add on to all of this, that people

212
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 6: lost their fire coverage.

213
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Have you seen this play?

214
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 6: There's these comments online at least people have lost fire

215
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 6: coverage for their houses in just the months before this.

216
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so.

217
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 6: People there are going to be people who have Now,

218
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 6: you know, this is where does the federal government declare

219
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 6: there's some kind of a national emergency situation. I mean,

220
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: what ends up or if you a federal emergency situation,

221
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 6: what ends up happening here remains to be seen.

222
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: But it's a disaster.

223
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 6: It's a mess, and if you know, first and foremost

224
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: thoughts in perse everybody affected by it, and we hope

225
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 6: everybody gets out safe, And then I think there does

226
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 6: need to be a conversation about accountability for the state authorities,

227
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 6: not the firefighters who are out there risking their lives

228
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 6: and taking in smoke and everything. By all accounts, they've

229
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 6: been doing incredible work. And the fire teams they have

230
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 6: are are phenomenal that are trying to fight these things

231
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 6: and trying to you know, prevent this from getting even

232
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 6: worse than it is. But at the top management level

233
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 6: of dealing with really it's a forestry issue, right, I mean,

234
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 6: that's what it comes down to, I think more than

235
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 6: anything else, the dry kindling, the tinder, and the underbrush.

236
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Are they spending enough time on this?

237
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 6: Are they bowing to the environmentalist concerns that just demand

238
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 6: you don't touch stuff those are valid questions when people

239
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 6: are turning around and looking at how could something like

240
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 6: this happen and get so out of control?

241
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: No doubt, and we're going to continue to take your calls.

242
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: We'll play some of these cuts again. To Buck's point,

243
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: this was a very foreseeable tragedy, and are the people

244
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles being served by the best possible representatives

245
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: that could be dealing with this tragedy right now? I

246
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: think the answer is no. And certainly the mayor didn't

247
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: know this was going to happen. But why in the

248
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: world is the mayor of Los Angeles that an African

249
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: inauguration ceremony?

250
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

251
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 6: I mean I would just also say, Clay, we know

252
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: that California is on a on a major fault line.

253
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 6: You know, I if California had a I didn't they

254
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,239
Speaker 6: just had an earthquake pretty recently, right, But if California

255
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 6: had a relatively modern earthquake and entire buildings were collapsing

256
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 6: because the code didn't actually have them prepared for it,

257
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 6: that would be a lack of preparation, right. I mean,

258
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 6: just because something's a natural disaster, it doesn't mean that

259
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 6: you can't say, well, hold on a second, did you

260
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: you know in Florida we're prepared for hurricanes all the time.

261
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 6: Doesn't mean that it's going to be perfect. Obviously, you

262
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 6: do the best you can with the response, but you

263
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 6: gotta be ready.

264
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: When Rick Caruso is saying that all of our fire

265
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: hydrants don't have actual, you know, water in them, I

266
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: mean it seems like that the fire hydrants, yeah, should

267
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 2: have water in them.

268
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 6: That seems reasonable. I want to know why that, Why

269
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 6: they don't have that, why they haven't collected the water

270
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 6: for that. All right, we'll take some of your calls

271
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 6: on this. We've got a lot of you listening California,

Speaker 6: We've got Adam Carolla joining us from California.

291
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: You all know Adam.

292
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 6: Adam appreciate you making the time for us. Under the circumstances.

293
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 6: We know a lot going on. It's a very tough situation.

294
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 6: Tell us what you know, what you're seeing, and what

295
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 6: everyone needs to be aware of.

296
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: So yesterday I went to the Equinox Gym on Sunset

297
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 5: Boulevard and pch and I walked out of the place

298
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 5: at about ten forty five in the morning, and I

299
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: looked up Sunset Boulevard and I I think there's a

300
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: fire up there. And that's exactly where it started. When

301
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 5: it started. Then I went into Glendale, California to do

302
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: my podcast, and subsequently came back to Malibu where I

303
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 5: lived at about six in the evening, sat down, and

304
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: as soon as my aunt at the sofa, we were

305
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: alerted that it was time to evacuate. So packed up

306
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 5: what I needed to get by and then drove out

307
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: to Burbank, California and checked into a hotel where I'm

308
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: at right now. So obviously I've been following it through

309
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: the news and talking to neighbors and that sort of thing,

310
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: but I've not been back since I left last night.

311
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: How's your home? Do you know personally how your home

312
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: has been.

313
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 5: I woke up this morning to a neighbor telling me

314
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 5: it was all gone, and then then the neighbor revised

315
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 5: the report later on to maybe it's still there.

316
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: So that's a big that's a big range of reporting

317
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: from the neighbor.

318
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: I'll point out.

319
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, sometimes the ladies jumped the gun a

320
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 5: little bit with the information. So I was pretty devastated

321
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 5: this morning, and now I'm in some sort of hopeful phase.

322
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 5: But there's really not a great way to get information

323
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 5: because you can't go down there and look for yourself.

324
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 5: So you you watch the news and you see little

325
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 5: bits and pieces where you go, oh, that's the restaurant

326
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 5: up the street, you know, and you try to piece

327
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 5: together cobble together some information, but it's it's pretty much

328
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 5: just sitting on pins and needles, waiting to get back

329
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 5: there to see if it's gone or not.

330
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 6: Now, Adam, you've probably seen the President already wait in

331
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 6: uh has has some harsh words for for Governor Newscomb

332
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 6: as he calls him. Uh So, President Trump is going

333
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 6: right off for it here and specifically saying that there's

334
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 6: been inadequate expansion to the water system and effectively inadequate

335
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 6: preparation for an event like this by the state of California,

336
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 6: perhaps by Los Angeles County.

337
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: In addition to that, what is the truth of that?

338
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 6: I mean, for people who don't live there, I think

339
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 6: it's hard to know what's proposed, what's been considered, and

340
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 6: what could have been done. I mean, do you have

341
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 6: a read on is there just growth? Is there grotesque

342
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: in competence at play here in terms of the preparation

343
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 6: for an event like this?

344
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: Well, I did twenty minutes on my podcast on Today's show,

345
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 5: which was on the subject of Most of these fires

346
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 5: are started by downed power lines. So we have a

347
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 5: decrepit power grid, and our power lines are not buried.

348
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 5: They're up on power poles, and the power poles are

349
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 5: eighty years old, and the winds hit, they knock the

350
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 5: poles down and the hot wires start the fire, and

351
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: or when it gets windy, they just shut off all

352
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: the power, so you have no power in the middle

353
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 5: of trying to evacuate because we have a decrepit system.

354
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 5: Keep in mind, Newsome is now putting more money into

355
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 5: the high speed rail, which isn't high speed rail from

356
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: Bakersfield to Merced, about one hundred and fifty miles way

357
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 5: out of California, in the middle of nowhere. Nobody lives

358
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 5: in Bakersfield or mersaid they're already eighty billion dollars over

359
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: budget on it, and I did twenty minutes on why

360
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 5: don't we take that eighty billion dollars or the two

361
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: hundred billion dollars that's going to cost a build rail

362
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: from Merced to Bakersfield, which impacts nobody, and use that

363
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: money to upgrade our grid and bury those lines up

364
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 5: and down pch where the fire is happening, and all

365
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 5: the multimillion dollar houses, there's fire poles fall all over

366
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 5: the place. One of their big problems is power lines.

367
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: Everywhere the firepole catches on fire, the power lines come down,

368
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 5: the trucks can't pull in, and you can't evacuate if

369
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 5: there's hot wires or even cold power lines on the

370
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: ground that you don't know are live or not. It's

371
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 5: a big issue and it's insane that we have the

372
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 5: same technologies they had in eighteen seventy five with the

373
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: power poles.

374
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: You've lived in California, not since eighteen seventy five, but

375
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: a lot of people have moved in during your lifetime there, Adam,

376
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: how would you assess we were just talking on the show.

377
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: You know, if the hurricane God Forbid hits Florida, which

378
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: happens pretty much every year of different varieties. Right now,

379
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: Floridians feel very confident that their governor and their local

380
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: government is going to do the best job possible responding

381
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: to that hurricane. What do you think your average Californian

382
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: thinks about the city and state leadership in cal in

383
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: terms of responding to something like this, What value add

384
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: if any is California getting from its political leadership, or

385
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 2: is it actually detracting from the innate goodness of many

386
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: of the people in the LA area.

387
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 5: Well, you know, as you know, we're all sort of

388
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: good vibes and we want the first you know, African

389
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 5: American woman fire chief and mayor, and we get all

390
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 5: into that. But when the as goes down, then we

391
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 5: want to know what's going on. You know, I was

392
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: looking at it today and I realized we have an

393
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 5: incompetent mayor, Karen bats who is in India or something

394
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 5: or Africa doing something collecting beads. I don't know what

395
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 5: she was doing over there, but she's incompetence. We don't

396
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 5: have a system of reservoirs and water collection and fire

397
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 5: hydrants and stuff. It's all a mess. Obviously. The think

398
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 5: about this. The places that just burn to the ground,

399
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 5: the multi million dollar houses and I'm not saying two

400
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 5: million dollar houses, I'm I'm saying twenty eight million dollar houses. Wow.

401
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 5: The houses that burned to the ground in the community

402
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: were Malibu Palisades and Santa Monica, all overwhelmingly blue, all

403
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 5: New Some voters, all Karen Bass voters. They voted for

404
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 5: all of this, and now their houses are gone.

405
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is kind of reaping what you

406
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: sew on some level, right, Adam. And so many people

407
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: have left California. I was talking about the number of

408
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: UCLA and USC flags I see in my Tennessee neighborhood.

409
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: Now a lot of them moved to to Florida, where

410
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: Buck lives. Now, as a lifelong Californian, have you thought, hey,

411
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: is it time to uproot and go somewhere else through COVID?

412
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: I know you travel all over the country doing your shows,

413
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: but has this maybe and many of the other things

414
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: that have just kind of strung together calamity after calamity

415
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: for Californians, does it make you want to uproot?

416
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 8: Oh?

417
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I bought land in Henderson. They're fat and I'm

418
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 5: literally leaving after my podcast to head up to Vegas

419
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 5: and do some shows, but to go look at my

420
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 5: land and meet with the architect and the builder. So

421
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 5: oh yeah, those plans have been on the table for

422
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 5: a long time because all you do is pay taxes.

423
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 5: And it's it's three parts. It's you pay taxes, you

424
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 5: pay an aornent amount of taxes, you get nothing in return,

425
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 5: And they wag their finger at you and want to

426
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: know why you're not doing more or paying your fair share.

427
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: You get villainized. So it's not only the part where

428
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 5: you don't get anything, and it's not only the part

429
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 5: where you pay for everything. Then whenever these guys run

430
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 5: for elections, they villainize the people that are keeping the

431
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: lights on in California.

432
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 6: Why do you think, Adam, there there is in a

433
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 6: faster recognition of what you're describing right there. Whether someone

434
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 6: wants to call it, you know, being being red pilled.

435
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: I don't know seeing reality reacting to events with common sense.

436
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Is it just the.

437
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 6: Ideological they're so ideological dug in that there's not enough

438
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 6: suffering from the bad policy to make people want to

439
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 6: try leadership. That's different. I mean Gavin Newson was supposed

440
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 6: to be recalled and then he wasn't.

441
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you there's gonna be a lot of converts.

442
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you where then where the conversion happens

443
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: over to the logical side, over to the right side

444
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 5: when you try to build something. So I'll be fast here,

445
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 5: but I've been a builder my whole life. I had

446
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 5: to pull permits on everything. When you have to deal

447
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 5: with the city and pull permits. That's when you become conservative.

448
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 5: And if you hear Bill Maher in the last five

449
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 5: years sounding a little more like us, he brings up

450
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 5: trying to get a solar shack built. Right. He wanted

451
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 5: to get solar power in his house. He had to

452
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 5: pull permits. It took him three years. They wouldn't let

453
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: him do it. And now he sounds like us because

454
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 5: now he's pissed because he doesn't want your bureaucracy. Bill

455
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 5: Marsh spoken more about bureaucracy and red tape and burdenso

456
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: rules in the last two years than he has in

457
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 5: the thirty years before that. It's because he's trying to

458
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 5: do something. All these houses in the Palisades, all the

459
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 5: houses in Malibu, all the houses in Santa Monica. When

460
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: they try to rebuild, and a couple of those jentas

461
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 5: from the Coastal Commission tell them no, or you're gonna

462
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: have to wait in line, or it's going to take

463
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: five years. That's when they're going to turn.

464
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I know, we want your home to be okay.

465
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: We want you and everybody else out there listening in

466
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 2: LA to be fine. Questions that you're in the entertainment space.

467
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: I know that you have been a Trump supporter for

468
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: some time. Has the culture of Los Angeles and the

469
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: culture of Hollywood expanded, as it is to many different

470
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: locations creating content? How is How have you found it

471
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: responding to the Trump election this time compared to in

472
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and maybe in twenty twenty. Is there a

473
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: vibe shift that you can feel?

474
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 5: Yeah? Remember all of Hollywood. Hollywood are mostly cowards, mostly

475
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 5: hypocritical powers. Now if you don't believe me that there's

476
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 5: runaway production. They all film in Canada. Why they film

477
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 5: in Canada They get a tax break. Then they come

478
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 5: back to their homes in Beverly Hills and lecture everyone

479
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: about paying a little bit more in taxes so others

480
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 5: could get a hand up. Right, So they're all hypocrites,

481
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 5: they're all cowards, and they'll go with whatever flow the

482
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 5: nation's go into, especially money wise. You've seen it with Disney,

483
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 5: You've seen it with all these corporations getting rid of DEI.

484
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 5: Now you've seen it with the tech roads. So they

485
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 5: will line up behind Trump just for commerce.

486
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good thing, that's I think.

487
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 6: Also we're seeing that at them with the break in

488
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 6: the corporate embargo, boycott if you will, of all things

489
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 6: Trump from Amazon now or is it Netflix?

490
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: Who's you know?

491
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 6: Amazon's doing the forty million dollar deal with Milania for

492
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 6: the buy of the new Milania biography.

493
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Right, new Millennium, Right? I mean, are we going to

494
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: see a lot more of that at them?

495
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 6: Do you think now they realize that they can't just

496
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 6: continue to stiff farm half the country?

497
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 5: I think so. And also I think as Trump's implemented

498
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 5: plans bear fruit and start to be effective, and as

499
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 5: the aforementioned Gavin Newsom and the Karen Basses and all

500
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 5: the Blue cities and the crime and the crime on

501
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 5: the subway and the fires in Los Angeles, you know,

502
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 5: as Los Angeles and New York City start to implode,

503
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 5: and as Trump's policies bear fruit, I think You're going

504
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 5: to wake up even the heaviest sleepers.

505
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: And I would add this to Adam, thanks for coming

506
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: on with this, and we certainly are wishing you the best.

507
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: You know this, and I've seen it happen a lot.

508
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 2: The amount of times you're on a television show or

509
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: you're on some sort of production and guys come up

510
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: who have the cameras or guys come up who are

511
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: building the sets and they just whisper, you know, something like, hey, man,

512
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

513
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: You're right about everything.

514
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: There's actually a huge contingent even in the entertainment space

515
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 2: that agrees with a lot of what we say every

516
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: single day.

517
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And it's always a sort of blue collar

518
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 5: side of it. So aways the guys on the dark

519
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: side of the bright lights, you know, yeah, the grits

520
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: and the cameramen, you know, the truck drivers, all those guys,

521
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 5: the teams. They're always the guys who quietly tell you

522
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: they agree and then pull their mask back up real

523
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 5: quick under their way.

524
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: That's right, Adam, Best of luck. Thank you for making

525
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: the time. I know it's a crazy time right now

526
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: out in La. If you hear anything else you want

527
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: to call in an update is phel free. We appreciate it.

528
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 5: Man, Well thanks for having me.

529
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: Guys, for sure, that's Adam Carolla, awesome dude out in

530
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: La Lifelong, California, and you just heard it from him.

531
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: He's building a place in Nevada, which, by the way,

532
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: has become really really commonplace. The amount of people that

533
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: are relocating to Nevada, Texas Tennessee, Florida. Low tax states

534
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: are bringing in a lot of people that have the

535
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: ability and flexibility to move. We welcome to a new

536
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: sponsor of the program. Last year Michigan company called Rapid radios.

537
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: Guess what modern day walkie talkies, the kind you can

538
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: talk to anyone across the entire United States with a

539
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: one touch button.

540
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Buck used him.

541
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: We talked about this back when the western North Carolina

542
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: awful Hurricane Helene happened and all of the infrastructure for

543
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: communication was down. Rapid radio still worked. They're not your

544
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: average walkie talkies. They work on a nationwide LT network,

545
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: making it possible for you to connect with family members

546
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: coast to coast, let alone, employees and friends. You have

547
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: a rapid radio. They have a rapid radio. You can

548
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: pick it up, connect effortlessly. If you remember being a

549
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: kid playing with radios back in the day, maybe get

550
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: a pre internet, pre cell phone era you got in

551
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: that car, if you had two different cars you were

552
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: going to driving somewhere, you could talk to another kid

553
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: in the car. Maybe your parents could talk. Cbe radios

554
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: certainly have been common for truckers for a long time.

555
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: These work amazing all over the country. Great communication device

556
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 2: for kids as well. Maybe you don't want to give

557
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: them a cell phone, maybe you want to stay in

558
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: touch with them, but you don't want them to be

559
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: able to have access to the Internet because you're worried

560
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: about what that might lead to. You can go online

Speaker 2: We have been talking a lot, and we'll continue to

566
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: monitor everything going on in Los Angeles associated with the wildfires,

567
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: and that is a current calamity that is ongoing. Will

568

Speaker 2: is going on there. Will take some of your calls

570
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: if you're in that California region and you want to

571
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: tell us what you are seeing right now as it

572
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: comes to the wildfires. But there is a lot going on,

573
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: not only associated with what's going on in California, but

574
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 2: all the way across the country. As we prepare for

575
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: the inauguration of Donald Trump, there is action in Congress.

576
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: We have a new speaker, as we told you last week,

577
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson officially in and John Thune the Senate majority leader,

578
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: and they passed already a bill I believe it's the

579
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: first bill that they passed, the Lake and Riley Act

580
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: in the House with some Democrat support and unanimity on

581
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: the Republican side, which would say if you're arrested for

582
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: a crime, that you are immediately deported. Because Lake and

583
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: Riley's alleged killer was arrested in New York and was

584
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: not deported. And now there is a major discussion surrounding

585
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: that that has moved to the Senate, where Republicans have

586
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: fifty three votes. Vetterman says that if they can't get

587
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: the Democrats seven votes to get them to sixty and

588
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: move it past any sort of filibuster related activity, that

589
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: this is the reason why we lost, meaning the Democrat

590
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: Party in the twenty twenty four election.

591
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: I think there's some truth to it. Cut ten.

592
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 9: If you're here illegally and you're committing crimes and those things,

593
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 9: I don't know why anybody thinks that it's controversial that

594
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 9: they all need to go.

595
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 8: Do you think that this was one of, if not

596
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 8: the biggest issue for this election.

597
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 9: Well, I think if we can't. You know, there's forty

598
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 9: seven of us in the Senate, and if we can't

599
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 9: pull up with seven votes, and if we can't get

600
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 9: at least seven out of forty seven, and if we can't,

601
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 9: then that's the reason why we lost. That's one of them.

602
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 9: That's one of why we lost.

603
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: In part, common sense to me, Buck, I mean, John

604
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: Fetterman maybe the most making the most sense of any

605
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: Democrat in the Senate.

606
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: It's funny.

607
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 6: I just wanted to note that I feel this claim

608
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 6: when we talk about Fetterman, and also it came up

609
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 6: when we were discussing Mark Zuckerberg yesterday. You know, when

610
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 6: someone says the right thing and you want to say, well,

611
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 6: that's the right thing, it doesn't mean that you forget

612
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 6: about all the things that they have done before. So

613
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 6: we can't always do the preamble because I don't know

614
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 6: if you got this. I saw a little heat about, oh, well,

615
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 6: Zuckerberg doing the right thing. Now he did all this

616
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 6: terrible damage to free speech. Yeah, and we've been talking

617
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 6: about that for years. But when someone says the right thing,

618
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say it's the wrong thing. And with Fetterman,

619
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 6: he has had a habit now of being among the

620
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 6: most reasonable in his public pronouncements. Democrats in the Senate, Now,

621
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 6: is he still going to vote lockstep with Chuck Schumer

622
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 6: on everything?

623
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: That's what really matters. So we haven't lost sight of that. Right.

624
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 6: It's one thing to get a good SoundBite on Fox

625
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 6: when you're a Democrat. It's another thing to be willing

626
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 6: to break with your party on common sense issues. Break

627
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 6: with your parties. A Democrat on common sense issues, go along.

628
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: I just wanted to say that because I feel like

629
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 6: every time, you know, we say, look, Fetterman said a

630
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 6: good thing, people say, well, it doesn't mean that he's

631
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 6: I know, it doesn't mean But now we get into

632
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 6: the immigration piece of this clay, they didn't want to

633
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 6: go forward. The Democrats rather, aren't wanting to go forward

634
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 6: with this. I think because the illegal immigrant community in

635
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 6: the United States is a favored constituency. It's not even

636
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 6: just that they, you know, don't want to go as

637
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 6: far as Donald Trump does. Obviously with mass deportations. The

638
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 6: Democrat Party, the base and the people that are the

639
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 6: most ideologically committed to the left, they think that all

640
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 6: of the illegals are a victim class, right, and so

641
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 6: this is why they're even sometimes off when it comes

642
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 6: to the politics of this. I've said this about climate

643
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 6: change and some other things too, where their ideology blinds

644
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 6: them to the political reality. And I think that's what

645
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 6: we saw in this election. They're so ideologically invested in

646
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 6: the illegal immigrant community or you know, the illegal aliens,

647
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 6: I say illegal aliens, they call them undocumented, that they

648
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 6: can't see clearly what the political reality of it may be.

649
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 6: And it's because they think of them as a victim

650
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,479
Speaker 6: class predominantly non white.

651
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: They viewed as a race issue.

652
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 6: They viewed it as a you know, anti colonial and

653
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 6: a sort of global, one world government issue. There's all

654
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 6: kinds of stuff that comes together. But the Democrats would

655
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: stand in the way the possibility, I should say, if

656
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 6: Democrats trying to stand in the way here of telling

657
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 6: people of deporting people who are already deportable under law.

658
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 6: And that's a part of this that's so important. It's

659
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 6: not like you're not deportable just because you haven't committed

660
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 6: a crime, but now you're committing additional crimes.

661
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you.

662
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 6: Be detained at that point and be subject to being

663
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 6: sent back to the country that is your actual country

664
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 6: of origin and nationality.

665
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty nine, I believe is the number

666
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 2: of Democrats voted against this bill. To think about how

667
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: crazy that is, and Fetterman is saying, we need to

668
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: get seven out of forty seven, whatever your politics are.

669
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: If someone to bucks Point is illegally here, and then

670
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: they aid further in that act of illegality by committing

671
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 2: a crime in a country that they are legally in,

672
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: they are arrested for that crime. So not only have

673
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: they committed a crime, they've been arrested. And we all

674
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: know the number of times that you commit a crime

675
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 2: and get arrested is actually lower than the number of

676
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: crimes that you're committing. Right, most people don't get arrested

677
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: the first time they stand athwart the law, particularly in

678
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: a blue city or a blue state where they have

679
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: delegitimized the arrest of criminals. In general, how in the

680
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: world could you defend this, like just leave aside Democrat, Republican, independent,

681
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: and if people just think rationally, how could you defend

682
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: your community having people who are illegally there and then

683
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: on top of the illegality of their being there, they

684
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 2: then commit an act of illegality. On top of that,

685
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: it is absolute bonker banana land that you could have

686
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: a political party that doesn't advocate for those people being

687
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: sent out of the country. And then we know, once

688
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: you're committing crimes, it's not a long stretch to say

689
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: that you're likely to commit another crime. And this is

690
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: what happened. If you're not familiar or have forgotten, this

691
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: is called the Lake and Riley Act because not only

692
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: was she killed and attacked by an illegal immigrant.

693
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: Raped and murdered. Yes, she should have.

694
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: Never had to deal with this, because this guy was

695
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 2: arrested in New York and should have been sent right

696
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: out of the country right then and there instead of.

697
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: Allowed to go to Georgia and commit another crime.

698
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 6: And New York, under policy made by the mayor and

699
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 6: the City Council, has the makes the affirmative decision that

700
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 6: they will not even they will not work with ice.

701
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 6: They will not they will not listen to any detainer

702
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 6: requests from Immigration and Customs enforcement. So they actively make

703
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 6: it harder for federal law enforcement to do their job.

704
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 6: This is what sanctuary jurisdictions are. And think about that,

705
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 6: I mean, think about how many cities there are in

706
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 6: the country where there is a policy in place that

707
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 6: law enforcement authorities make it harder for federal law enforcement

708
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 6: to do their job. And I know they say, oh,

709
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 6: we don't have to do that, so that's a yeah,

710
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 6: But in so many other areas clay of the law.

711
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 6: I mean, I've said this before. If it's a drug case,

712
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 6: a terrorism case, when the Feds asked the you know,

713
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 6: the state or local law enforcement for help, they work

714
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 6: together all the time.

715
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: It's only on this.

716
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 6: Issue where you have this this effort at almost near

717
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 6: nullification by the local law enforcement to wor you know,

718
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 6: the the certainly the ignoring, if qualification is too strong word,

719
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 6: ignoring the federal law because they think it's politically expedient

720
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 6: to do so, or at least they're the people that

721
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 6: are writing the checks think it's politically expedient to do so.

722
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 6: I don't think this is going to play well for

723
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 6: Democrats though going forward. I think that they've got a

724
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 6: real problem here because the numbers under Biden got so extreme.

725
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 6: They had to admit that this was a disaster and.

726
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: Crime is an issue, and when you're allowing criminals that

727
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 2: shouldn't be here to stay here, I don't understand how anyone,

728
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 2: regardless of their politics, can defend this policy.

729
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 6: Well, Clay, also, remember it's when they're talking about something

730
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 6: like stealing. It shouldn't be that hard to be in

731
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 6: this country and not and not steal, right, that should

732
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 6: be pretty that should be pretty straightforward. But also on

733
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 6: the politics of this, remember we don't think about, you know,

734
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 6: Kamala right now. Where Shi Kamala's going to? I think Germany,

735
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 6: Bach Rain and where else?

736
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 5: Guys?

737
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 6: I forget there's a third one. It's I didn't even

738
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 6: know this, I like Brunei or something. I mean, she's

739
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 6: going to like some guard of Singapore, Singapore, I think

740
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 6: that's where she is. Is it last boondoggle? You know,

741
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 6: it's a last taxpayer funded vacation. And we don't think

742
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 6: about Kamala very much these days for you know, many reasons.

743
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: Thankfully, Yeah, thankfully.

744
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 6: But remember when she was talking about building the wall.

745
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 6: I mean that's the Democrats were in this tough spot

746
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 6: because their internal numbers were showing and obviously the election

747
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 6: played this out or the election proved this.

748
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: Their internal numbers were showing they were.

749
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 6: In a terrible position on immigration, and so they started

750
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 6: to have Kamala just test out, you know, yeah, I'm

751
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 6: gonna also build a wall.

752
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: Do you remember.

753
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it almost feels like it was it

754
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 6: was surreal, like it couldn't have actually happened. And I

755
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,479
Speaker 6: think the Democrats still are in this position where their

756
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 6: base does not want to bend to the reality that

757
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 6: sixty percent of the American people are just not with

758
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 6: them on all the illegals continuing to pile in and

759
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 6: a lot of the illegals being allowed to stay.

760
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: And this is it.

761
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: No, I was just gonna say the Layn Riley Act.

762
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: To your point, Buck, Lake and Riley is not going

763
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: to be the last victim here. So when Democrats are

764
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: not voting for this, the next time, sadly that someone

765
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 2: who is completely innocent like Lake and Riley gets raped

766
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: and murdered by an illegal who had previously been arrested,

767
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 2: everyone is going to say, wait a minute, you voted

768
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: to allow this to occur. And so the residence of

769
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: this for Democrats is going to continue going forward. And

770
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: again I just say, leave aside politics. Is there a

771
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: single person in America that can defend this? I mean,

772
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: what is your defense that somebody should be able to

773
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 2: illegally come into the country and commit a crime and

774
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: there should be no consequences for it.

775
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: That's just a to me, a crazy.

776
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: Town argument to make. And I don't even hear anybody

777
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 2: making that argument. They just pretend it isn't actually on

778
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 2: the ballot.

779
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 6: Well, you know, it's it's not crazy to somebody who

780
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 6: takes the position that we should give illegals free healthcare,

781
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 6: which if you remember, in the twenty twenty Democrat primary,

782
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 6: they all raise their hands on that stage and one

783
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 6: of the debate nights about how they wanted to give Obamacare,

784
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 6: which is effectively subsidized you know, Medicare expansion whatever you

785
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 6: want to call it, or a Medicaid expansion.

786
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they wanted to give free health care to illegals.

787
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 6: What you start to get very close to here, and

788
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 6: this is where I think a lot of the heat

789
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 6: and the outrage. Other than there's the crime aspect what

790
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 6: you're talking about, right, the additional crime of the illegality,

791
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 6: which should just seem like something that we could all

792
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 6: be on the exact same page about. But then there's

793
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 6: something beyond that too, Clay, do Democrats think that there's

794
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 6: really any that the US government should treat an illegal

795
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 6: any differently than it treats an American citizen.

796
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: And I think the answer is quite clearly no.

797
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 6: I mean, if they had their way, they they would

798
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 6: just wave a wand and say no, now you're an

799
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 6: American too, and you get all the same stuff they

800
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 6: don't view that they don't. There's nothing about being an

801
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 6: American into them. That is, you know, that is more

802
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 6: than just the presence of physical being here in this country,

803
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 6: and that's not the way it's supposed to be.

804
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: Effectively, they believe in a border less world. Yes, and

805
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 2: in a border less world, if there were no borders,

806
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: everybody wants to live in the United States because we're

807
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: the greatest country in the world, which is ironic because

808
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: Democrats would argue that we are also simultaneously not the

809
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 2: greatest country in the world, and that we're supremely racist,

810
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 2: which is why the ultimate lie here is if we

811
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: were so racist, why are so many people trying to

812
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: die to get here?

813
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 6: And then also, you know, the one thing that this

814
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 6: government is still really good at is building a massive

815
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 6: and onerous and burden some tax code for the people

816
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 6: who are here legally that we all have to deal

817
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 6: with so that then stuff can be given to people

818
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 6: who are here illegally and those laws don't count. I

819
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 6: don't know how anyone can see that as anything other

820
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 6: than a giants slap in the face to actual.

821
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: Americans last year term, all throughout the course of the

822
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 2: year in Israel. I just got back there last month

823
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: and witnessed everything first hawn firsthand, and I saw how

824
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: your support for Israeli citizens can make such a huge

825
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 2: difference With the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Your

826
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: support of the IFCJ has saved lives, answered prayers thanks

827
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 2: to your generosity. Bomb shelters have been built and donated.

828
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: I saw them. Life saving food and emergency supplies have

829
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 2: been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.

830
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: I saw it.

831
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: And protective gear in medical equipment has been distributed to

832
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: first responders on the front lines. I met a guy

833
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 2: who was driving in a bulletproof vehicle on October seventh,

834
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, and he told me he's alive today

835
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: because of the IFCJ, because otherwise the bullet scarred car

836
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 2: that he showed me he would have died in.

837
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: There's still a lot more work to do.

838
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 2: You can join the movement of those who have raised

839
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 2: their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people. We

840
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 2: ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today

841
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: by visiting support IOCJ dot org. That's one word, support

842
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: IFCJ dot org. All right, so we've got.

843
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 6: A lot of interesting stuff coming in here on the

844
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 6: email front about the situation in California, the wildfires that

845
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 6: are breaking out there. We'll also got some of your

846
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 6: calls here eight hundred two two two eight A two

847
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 6: Joan writes. The travesty of the California fires is that

848
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 6: original settlers and forest managers developed the fire control measures

849
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 6: that worked over many decades. They realized long ago that

850
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 6: they were living in a desert region and the Santa

851
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 6: Ana winds were very dangerous if there was a fire.

852
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 6: They employed controlled burns, fire pits, and other measures to

853
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 6: prevent the spread of fires. Experts predicted that the fire

854
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 6: risks would increase when enviros started their insane lawsuits a

855
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 6: few decades ago. The legislature could fix the problem with

856
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 6: the loss with the laws to permit sound forestry management. However,

857
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 6: it is California, and here Clay I would I would

858
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,959
Speaker 6: point out this that. I think one of the great

859
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 6: frustrations a lot of people have as they see this

860
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 6: unfold is while we're saying, look, you know, I understand

861
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 6: the most important thing now is your thoughts and prayers

862
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 6: go for everybody who's affected, Go to everybody who's affected,

863
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 6: and that emergency services do the best job that they

864
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 6: can and save as many people in houses as as possible.

865
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 6: There is always going to be a conversation about the response,

866
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 6: the political leadership, the culpability or the lack of preparation

867
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 6: in that for that leadership. But you know, they also

868
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 6: always want to make it about climate change, and I

869
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 6: think that that, unfortunately is there. It's a very deeply

870
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 6: ideological divide, and I think it also means that you

871
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 6: don't get to focus in on things that would actually help.

872
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 6: Saying that the global temperature is increasing whatever they think

873
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 6: that it is on a yearly basis is not helpful

874
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 6: in actually dealing with this at all. But it then

875
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 6: turns you see what I mean, all of the focus

876
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 6: and energy becomes diverted from immediate actionable measures to do

877
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 6: something about this too. Hey, it's climate change. Now we

878
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 6: need to pass some bill in Congress. You know what,

879
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 6: I mean yeah, and actually bucket kind of ties in.

880
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 6: I was reading a great piece in the Wall Street

881
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 6: Journal a couple of days ago about critical race theory

882
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 6: and how it actually destroys the argument itself. In other words,

883
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 6: they get it completely backward that actually Western civilization is

884
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 6: what allows critical race theory to even exist, because without

885
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 6: Western civilization, we would all still be living in such

886
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 6: poor environments that nobody would be able to worry about

887
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 6: race and gender and ethnicity. But what I'm hearing from

888
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 6: a lot of people is climate change actually is preventing

889
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 6: the situation that would provide more help for issues associated

890
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 6: with climate right. So in other words, we should have

891
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 6: way more reservoirs to be holding water, to be able

892
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 6: to provide more water for the people in Los Angeles area.

893
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 6: To your point, we had a really great winter, I

894
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 6: believe in the Sierra Madre Mountains. They now have filled

895
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 6: up the reservoirs to record levels over the last generation

896
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 6: or so, but we don't have enough. So we still

897
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 6: lose a lot of that water, which is what Trump

898
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 6: has said. It goes out into the Pacific Ocean. It

899
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 6: isn't recollected, and one reason we don't have more reservoirs

900
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 6: is because the climate change people are concerned about the

901
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 6: impact of the reservoirs on the climate. So then you

902
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 6: end up with this situation where it becomes almost a

903
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 6: self fulfilling prophecy because you're not fighting the actual ravages

904
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 6: of the climates. As Adam said, and also as the

905
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 6: guy who called in Who's to why plane said, this

906
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 6: is something that existed throughout the history of this depography. Right,

907
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 6: It's not like wildfires just started in La now. They've

908
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 6: been going on for.

909
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 2: As long as Los Angeles has existed as a community, Yes,

910
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 2: and long before.

911
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 6: You would think that also improvements in technology. I saw

912
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 6: people sharing online that even if power went out in

913
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 6: their area, they still were able to stay or rather,

914
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 6: if the internet went out in the area, they were

915
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 6: still a bit to stay on because of starlink and

916
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 6: how and that meant that there was additional communication capability

917
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 6: in some of these areas that have been hit by

918
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 6: you know, outages because because of the fire. You would

919
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 6: think that with increased technology and also the increased impetus

920
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 6: of more and more of these kinds of how more

921
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 6: and more housing and and habit you know, inhabitants in

922
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 6: some of these areas that we know are at risk

923
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 6: of these fires, that they would have more sophisticated systems

924
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 6: in place. Instead, it just feels like, as you're watching

925
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 6: this and it's devastating and it's a gut punch just

926
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 6: to see this happening, to know a fellow American's fellow

927
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 6: human beings, it looks like not very much is done

928
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 6: at all to improve the overall infrastructure. I mean, I'm

929
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 6: not saying not much as being done by the firefighters

930
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 6: on the front lines now, I just mean in terms

931
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 6: of the state of California getting it in advance of

932
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 6: this and exceeding previous capabilities to be able to blunt

933
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 6: this kind of a fire. It seems to me like

934
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 6: a lot of people writing in saying the same thing,

935
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 6: which is that this needs to be addressed. Pete writes

936
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 6: in California has a water system built fifty years ago

937
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 6: for a population of twenty million. The state now has

938
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 6: forty million people, but the Greenies have made it impossible

939
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 6: to enlarge the state's water system. The state needs more dams,

940
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 6: which create reservoirs needed to store the snow melt from

941
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 6: the Sierras and screw the delta smell.

942
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've heard from a lot of people

943
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 2: is that there needs to be more reservoir building. The

944
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 2: problem is, as he just laid out, you got the

945
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: environmentalists to say, oh, no, we're going to have an

946
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: impact on the insert fish or you know, random bird

947
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: or random salamander. And as a result, you have to

948
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: deal with this in the LA area and I don't.

949
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 2: That's what's so frustrating about it is the people who

950
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 2: are making the argument about climate change are actually making

951
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 2: the climate more dangerous based on the policies that they

952
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: implement and endorse. And it's like, to your point, Buck,

953
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: the cognition like it doesn't connect. Oh, we're making things

954
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 2: worse while we're trying to advocate to make things better.

955
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 2: It's like they can't process that connection because they're so

956
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 2: focused on their own moral righteousness associated with climate change

957
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: that they don't understand the consequences of their own actions. Yes,

958
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: and that means that you wouldn't get the kind of

959
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 2: responding you're you're not getting the kind of action and

960
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: response to to fix these things from a you know,

961
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 2: a community or a collective.

962
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: Dare I say you know?

963
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 6: There there shouldn't be such a divide over, like, well,

964
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 6: how do we agree how do we deal with this

965
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 6: in the future, like when you have a bad hurricane

966
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 6: Clay and if they don't have you know, if the

967
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 6: levee isn't big enough, or if they don't have enough resource.

968
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 6: Everything can sort of agree with these with these wildfires.

969
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 6: I mean the front page the New York Times. I've

970
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 6: seen the past, it's you know, well, this is why

971
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 6: we need to pass a bill, you know, mandating electric cars.

972
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: It's like, what, what are you people talking about? That's

973
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: that's not what the problem is.

974
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 2: I think also it ties into your question, and you

975
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 2: have a unique perspective on it because you're a lifelong

976
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 2: New York City resident.

977
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: What happened in normal city?

978
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh careful, I don't want the the tax

979
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 2: hounds on your scent. What had to happen, you know

980
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 2: in New York City was New York City got so

981
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 2: awful that people were willing to elect Rudy Giuliani and

982
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 2: they were willing to say, hey, you know what, the

983
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 2: crime is so bad, the uh just deterioration of city

984
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 2: living is so bad that we're willing to change our trajectory.

985
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: And I think that happened in twenty twenty four, a

986
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 2: lot of black Asian Hispanic voters finally said, looked around

987
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 2: and said, our community actually getting better. What's going to

988
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 2: take for LA to make that choice? You know, Karen

989
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 2: Bass against Rick Caruso was that battle right, and Caruso

990
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: lost because to Adam's point, all of these left wing

991
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 2: liberals said, oh, Karen Bass is our solution, She's our salvation.

992
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 2: We got to have a black woman running Los Angeles. Well,

993
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 2: now she's in ghana, the city's burning. Rick Caruso is

994
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 2: rightly pointing out that there's all sorts of flaws responsing

995
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 2: to this crisis to many of those people. Do any

996
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: of those people make the connection that their vote has

997
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 2: the consequence of making their life worse?

998
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: That's what has to happen. It's almost like an intervention.

999
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 2: You know, you can be an alcoholic, but until you

1000
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: recognize that you have an issue with alcohol, everybody else

1001
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 2: pointing to it and saying, hey, dude, maybe you should

1002
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: have less to drink, it doesn't read into you make

1003
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 2: that connection inside your brain and frustrating because sometimes it

1004
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 2: takes a long time for an attic to recognize the addiction.

1005
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'll.

1006

1007

1008
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 6: on the immigration issue making some sense and not the

1009
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 6: first time. Also Democrats what they are not willing to

1010
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 6: go along with it them. It's pretty stunning stuff. We'll

1011
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,920
