He 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: taught me more about my civic duty than anyone ever could, 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: and for that I'm grateful. 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 4: Conservatives are not opposed to regulation, but regulation has to 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 4: be based on the fact that the individual is best 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 4: left alone to take care of himself in the pursuit 13 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 4: of daily aspects of life, education, job, or whatever. 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: We don't make the assumption we look at. 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 4: Some people because of their race, sex, creator what. We 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 4: don't say that person can't do it, that person needs us, 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 4: that person needs a government program, needs somebody helping them, 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 4: because that's not really. 19 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: What those people are after. 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 4: They're after power and control over those people's lives, making 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 4: them as dependent as possible. The reason why this matters 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 4: to me is I want a greater country. A country 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 4: is made up in great people pursuing excellence, doing the 24 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 4: best they can. 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: It is the people who makes the country work. Non 26 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: government programs. 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 5: Hey, Michael, this is Rusty from San Antonio.

Yesterday, Maxine Waters was on News Nation with 72 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo, and she blames for the wildfire response in 73 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Not the mayor, not the governor, Not the 74 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: people who've been getting paid and are in the position 75 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: to prepare the community for such an inevitability. No, that's 76 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: not who she blames. You might guess who she blames. 77 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 10: I agree with you, now, Democrats are Republicans. Get the 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 10: information up on the screens. Where can you go Altadena? 79 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 10: Where can you go in Pasadena? Where can you go 80 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 10: in Malibu? Where can you go in the Palisades? Where 81 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 10: can you go in San Fernando Valley? 82 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: They don't know. 83 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 10: They're looking for help, and that's what we should be 84 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 10: dedicated to. 85 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 11: I agree, we are doing it, we will continue to 86 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 11: do it. 87 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: I think you are right. However, it can. 88 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 11: Also be seen that you don't want to talk about 89 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 11: the politics because it's on your party. Because the mayor 90 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 11: and the governor are Democrats, who arguably should have had 91 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 11: the people in Altadena better. 92 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Prepared for this. 93 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 11: They should have the resources more available so they don't 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 11: need me. 95 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: To put them up. 96 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 11: Because this state has been doing the work, and that 97 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 11: they've been preparing the situations for wildfires like they were 98 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 11: made aware of. Instead of cutting deals with PG and 99 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 11: E and insurance companies, they would have prepared the state. 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 11: That is not unfair criticism. Is it too soon? Maybe? 101 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 11: But the questions are real. Let me tell you something. 102 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 10: I'm not in resistance of protecting anybody and I think 103 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 10: that my work over the years that I've been involved 104 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 10: have been absolutely on point in dealing what has to 105 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 10: be dealt with in order to help the people. 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: First thing you've. 107 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 10: Got to understand is services cost some money, and we 108 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 10: should be willing to get the richest people in this country, 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 10: the richest one percent that is protected, make sure they 110 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 10: pay their fair taxes so that we can have the 111 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 10: money to provide the services. With that money and with 112 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 10: those resources, the people who have been selected or elected 113 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 10: to do the job should do the job. 114 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. 115 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 10: It could be Democrat, it could be Republican, it could 116 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 10: be whatever. But the fact of the matter is we 117 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 10: all should have heavy hearts right. 118 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: Now, My goodness, the line, with all the congressional perks 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: that woman has, surely Maxine Waters has a healthcare dental 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: plan that could afford some super polygrip for her. I mean, 121 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: it's bad enough that what she says is stupid, but 122 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the fact that her dentures are falling in and out 123 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: of her mouth while she told no excuse by that woman, 124 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: some super. 125 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 9: Polygriph god akins here for a super polygripp. Hey, if 126 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 9: you wear dentures I'll bet you know the pain of 127 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 9: getting food stuck between your dentures and gums like these 128 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 9: dyn seeds pouch.

She stays calm. 178 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: But think about this. She has the city to take 179 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: care of. She does not have time to hear. 180 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 14: She is also not mayor of every municipality in California. 181 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 14: There are people that are mad that she didn't fix 182 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 14: the fires in Malibu. She's not the mayor of Malibu. 183 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 14: What is she supposed to do in the city. She's 184 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 14: not the mayor of people don't understand. And let me 185 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 14: say this too. I can imagine how much it would 186 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 14: hurt to see this happening in the city that she loves. 187 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 14: That's first, So take away how it feels for people 188 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 14: to attack her. She's heartbroken because this is happening in 189 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 14: her city, a city that she loves. 190 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 15: That's and the people that understand, they don't understand how 191 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 15: large it is because a lot of people are sitting 192 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 15: in other parts of the city. 193 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: They're not in it. They're not in the fire, they're 194 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: not in the smoke. They don't see they're not there. 195 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: They're watching TV. Why and they want to blame something. 196 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 15: This is not the time to blame. It's time to 197 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 15: get some resources. She has reached out. Oh, we have 198 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 15: planes coming in from other countries to help us. 199 00:10:54,280 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: This is not the time I need to remain to support. 200 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: So you cannot. This not the times great. 201 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 15: She has done what she's had to do. She's jumped 202 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 15: in there, and she's good for this. 203 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 14: He got fires every year and I don't remember in 204 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 14: the in the thirty years almost and I've lived in LA. 205 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: We've burned out in all of LA every year. And 206 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: this one time, all. 207 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 14: To one person for a natural disaster. I've never seen it. 208 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: Now, what's different this time? M hmm. Interesting, hasn't said that? Amen, sister, 209 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: Amen tell it. Amen's sister. We have watched the entire 210 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: city of Los Angeles burned to the ground. Every year. 211 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Every year we do this, there's no houses left. Every 212 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: year we do this, and it's one year, same fire 213 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: we always have every year. Every don't you remember last 214 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: year and the year before and the year before, And 215 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: here we are this year and they go all, black 216 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: woman mayor, we're gonna criticize. 217 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 9: Mm. 218 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: We all know why because it's a black woman. Yep, 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: that's the reason. So what do we take from this? 220 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: When a black woman runs for office, either you vote 221 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: for her or you're a racist. When you do, vote 222 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: for her to prove you're not a racist, and she 223 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: gets in, she can do no wrong because if you 224 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: criticize the job she's doing after you voted for her, 225 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: then you're a racist. And let me tell you something. 226 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: This is the plague on black politics in America today. 227 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: You've got mayors of cities, you've got congressmen, you've got 228 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: state reps, you've got county judges, you've got black elected 229 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: officials who were elected on the sole basis of elect me. 230 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm black, okay, And so people do and when they do, 231 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: don't you dare criticize? And many blacks will say, don't 232 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: criticize because that person is black, because you wouldn't criticize 233 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: if they were white, but we do. We're criticizing Gavin Newsom, 234 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: but nobody is saying, don't criticize Gavin Newsom. Poor fella's white. 235 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: You see, this is the standard that you apply to 236 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: end up with terrible government. Well, the white DEI fire 237 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: chief Kristen Crowley says the seventeen million dollars they cut 238 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: from her budget, well, now that the chickens are coming 239 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: home to roost, I want to. 240 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 16: Be very very clear, Yes, we took a seventeen million 241 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 16: dollar budget cut, and as we know, any budget cut 242 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 16: would negatively impact our ability to carry out our mission. 243 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 16: I want to also clarify that I'm not a politician. 244 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm a public servant. 245 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 16: It's my job as a fire chief for Los Angele 246 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 16: City Fire Department to make sure that our firefighters have 247 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 16: exactly what they need to do their jobs. And that's 248 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 16: why I'm talking to you today. The Palisades fire. Everybody's 249 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 16: seeing it. It is absolutely one of the most horrific 250 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 16: natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles. And even 251 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 16: with an additional one hundred engines, I tell you we 252 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 16: were not going to catch that fire. But with that 253 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 16: being said, let me be clear, the seventeen million dollar 254 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 16: budget cut and the elimination of our civilian positions like 255 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 16: our mechanics did and has and will continue to severely 256 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 16: impact our ability to repair our apparatus. So with that, 257 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 16: we have over one hundred fire apparatus out of service, 258 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 16: and having these apparatus in the proper amount of mechanics 259 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 16: would have helped, and so it did absolutely negatively impact. 260 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 16: I want to also be clear that I have over 261 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 16: the last three years been clear that the fire Department 262 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 16: needs help. We can no longer sustain where we are. 263 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 16: We do not have enough firefighters. With that, I have 264 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 16: also requested multiple budgets interim budgets to show how understaffed, 265 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 16: under resource and underfunded the LAFD is. So with that, 266 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 16: also we have clear data that shows the LFD needs 267 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 16: more help. We need sixty two more fire stations. These 268 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 16: reports also show that we've had a fifty five percent 269 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 16: increase in overall call volume since twenty ten. And guess 270 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 16: what we're doing it with less firefighters. I was also 271 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 16: directed to develop a plan as part of a budget 272 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 16: reduction exercise, and that could equate to forty eight point 273 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 16: eight million dollars and I warned, I rang the bell 274 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 16: that these additional cuts could be very, very devastating. 275 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: Houston, Michael Barry's show KBLA fifteen eighty am when she 276 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: said that she was attracted to her current job to 277 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: do what to make the system efficient, to serve the 278 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: most people, to save money for the taxpayers, to prove 279 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: that the water system could work. Nope, social equity. 280 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 14: You call it powered by equity, and I know that 281 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 14: it's been really important for the DWP to put an 282 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 14: equity lens on everything. 283 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: Yes. 284 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 17: Yeah, and that's the number one thing that attracted me 285 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 17: to this role, coming from the communities that I seeing 286 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 17: what I've seen through my career and utilities and through 287 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 17: the military. I've been in the Coast Guard nineteen and 288 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 17: a half years now, so I got six more months 289 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 17: to qualify for my twenty years, which was my original goal. 290 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: Wow, congratulation, Thank you for your service. Thank you, thank you. 291 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 17: It's important to me that everything we do it's with 292 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 17: an equivalents and social justice and making sure that we 293 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 17: right the wrongs that we've done in the past from 294 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 17: an infrastructure perspective, and that we involved the community in 295 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 17: that process. And this utility is serious about it, is 296 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 17: authentic about it, and so I'm just super excited to 297 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 17: be part of that movement. 298 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: There you have it. When people tell you who they 299 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: are and what they're doing and why they're doing it, 300 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: believe them. A southern California pastor by the name of 301 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: Josh Hibbs took to the pulpit and scolded the California 302 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: Democrats for their poor government governance and how they handled 303 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: the wildfires. If your pastor is not speaking the truth 304 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: from the pulpit because he is afraid, well, I can't 305 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: talk about what's going on in the real world because 306 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: I'll lose my tax exemption. If that were true, why 307 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: does every black pastor do it? You can say what 308 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: you believe and you will not lose your tax exemption. 309 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: But by the way, you ever heard of the concept 310 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: of carrying your cross. You're telling me that you see 311 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: that your communities are being burned down around this country. 312 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: You see that crime is killing the people in your churches. 313 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: You see that illegal aliens are coming in and destroying communities, 314 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: and you can't speak to it because you're afraid that 315 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: you might get a letter from the irs. My goodness, alive. 316 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: Have you read the Bible? Do you understand the concept 317 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: of the suffering? We are supposed to be willing to 318 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: endure anyway. This is what that pastor had to say. 319 00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: We have watched the absolute exposure. 320 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 7: Of the most incompetent. 321 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: Wait, reserve your applause to the end. 322 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 7: Nobody can hide from this. Nobody can hide from that. 323 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 7: There's no excuses. This is the most wealthiest state in 324 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 7: the fifty. We pay the most in taxes, We pay 325 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 7: the most in gas, We pay the most in electricity. 326 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 7: You name it, if it's in California, we pay the 327 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 7: most for it. Why Why because of our government? Why 328 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 7: because of things that Sacramento does because they can. Our 329 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 7: flag of this state is an absolute, abject lie. The 330 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 7: flag says California Republic. It is not a republic is 331 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 7: where the people decide and the people people have their way. 332 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 7: What has happened to California? 333 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: And you prove me wrong? 334 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 7: I challenge you today if you don't like what I'm 335 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 7: about to say, California has been under unmitigated Democrat power control, 336 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 7: Democrat supermajority. 337 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: What does that mean supermajority? 338 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 7: It means nobody can oppose their decision making, and now 339 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 7: you've got it. You've got a situation where a catastrophe 340 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 7: came and the billions of dollars that you and I 341 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 7: gave was diverted to other woke, stupid Democrat projects. That's 342 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 7: that's not hyperbole. 343 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: It is a fact. 344 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 7: You don't like a change your party. 345 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: If you don't like it, change different. 346 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 7: But I'm telling you right now, I'm upset and I'm angry, 347 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 7: and it's the right kind of anger. 348 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this right now. When you open up. 349 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 7: A fire hydrant and nothing comes out, and then Joe 350 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 7: Biden says it's because we need electricity, it was turned 351 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 7: off for the fire hydroen to turn on. 352 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: In some cases that might be true. If the fire. 353 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 7: Hydroens are on top of a mountain, you need a 354 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 7: motor to drive the water up. That's extremely rare, and 355 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 7: it wasn't the case in these fires. 356 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: Bad management, horrific. 357 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 7: Politicians who took your money and took trips like Karen Bass, 358 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 7: the mayor of La She decided to go to Africa 359 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 7: the week of the fires. 360 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: To be on a little trip that you paid for. 361 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: She was really put out when she was told to 362 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: come home. It didn't look bad. I mean it didn't 363 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: look good. That it looked very bad. 364 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 7: You've hat Gavin Newsom flying down here and then at 365 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 7: a command center laughing it up with some people, and 366 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 7: it's caught on tape while he spends nine points so 367 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 7: many millions of probably your dollars to buy himself a 368 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 7: new house. Yes, it's time to replace the leadership in California. 369 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: You don't need anymore. 370 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 7: You don't need any more examples. These fires could have 371 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 7: been stopped. 372 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: Why is every pastor in America not preaching on this subject? 373 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: I love it when people say, well, the Bible commands 374 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: us give to Caesar. What is Caesar's? Is that what 375 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: you think? Is that what you think the Bible said? 376 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: Is that what someone told you? Or is that your 377 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: own reading of it? Do you believe that there is 378 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: no place in the pulpit, in the church or a 379 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: Christian to speak on conviction? Because you're wrong. Not only 380 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: are you wrong, you're weak. You're taking a path that 381 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: does not require you to offend powerful people. Corporate leaders 382 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: who said we're not going to talk about politics because 383 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: we don't want to upset anybody, Well, then who will 384 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: speak on politics? Who will we leave to do that. 385 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: That's like saying we're not going to fight back when 386 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: the country is invaded because we don't want to get hurt. 387 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: We're not going to stop and help somebody who's injured 388 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: on the side of the road because we don't want 389 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: to get involved. That's not what we are called to be. 390 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: And if the leader of the church cannot speak on 391 00:23:53,800 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: important issues affecting our people and our country, then they 392 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: have no business being there. They probably just want another 393 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: love offering so they can go on a nice cruise 394 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: because this is their ten year anniversary or whatever else, 395 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: their birthday. 396 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 6: Where I can't believe he just said that happens that 397 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 6: Michael Berry Show. 398 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: I asked folks this morning to as we closed our 399 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: show earlier today, to share with me their remembrance of 400 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. And it's too late to get to your 401 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: calls today, but I would encourage you to take a 402 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: moment and send me an email. You can go to 403 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: our website Michael Berryshow dot com and they'll say send 404 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Michael an email and you can send me an email 405 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: there directly with your Rush Limbaugh story. And it could 406 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: be how you first discovered his show, where you listened. 407 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: If you ever came to one of his Rush to 408 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: Excellence events, something he said that has stuck with you 409 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: for all these years, whatever that may be, feel free 410 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: to share that with me. I do read them all. 411 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: I can't reply to them all, but I do read 412 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: every single one of them. And it was our way 413 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: to remember rush Limbaugh to do such things. And I'll 414 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: close with a couple of those calls because I believe 415 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: it's very important that we remember. When you drive past 416 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: a cemetery and you see those stones peeking out of 417 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: the ground and you go read the names, that is 418 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: the way we remember things. It's a sense of if 419 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: not eternity, it's a sense of lasting. It's a way 420 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: to pay tribute. It's a way to remember lest they 421 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: be forgotten. Now. I understand many people are doing cremation 422 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: these days, but there are all sorts of ways name 423 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: things for people. We often a husband and wife will 424 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: name their child for their own parent or for a 425 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: relative that is long gone, as a way to pay tribute. 426 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: It's very important to remember things that are precious to you. 427 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: And this is a political statement because the left wants 428 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: to destroy your monuments. The left wants to destroy your history. 429 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: And this is a long standing form, a long standing 430 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: modus operanda. You know, when Isis made their way into 431 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: Syria a few years ago, if you remember, they began 432 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: destroying Christian relics. It's a way of destroying your past, 433 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: your history. The Left in this country has torn down monuments. 434 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 11: Oh. 435 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 13: It started with that evil Roberty Lee. He was such 436 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 13: a horrible person. 437 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: And it ended with Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi. It 438 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: wasn't about what someone stood for. It was about destroying 439 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: the past. Because if you can destroy the past, you 440 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: can build a new with new values and new heroes 441 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: and new monuments to new people, with new philosophies that 442 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: are contradictory and antithetical to that which makes this country great. 443 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: In Orwell's nineteen eighty four, they created a big brother, 444 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: created a new language called new Speak, and they changed 445 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: the meaning of words so that the word you were 446 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: so used to would be altered in its meaning. How 447 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: often do you see the left do that today? In 448 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: Ray Bradberry's Fahrenheit four or five to one, they burn 449 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: the books in the library because the books before computers 450 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: were the only way you preserved for posterity, knowledge, perspective, experience. 451 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: When humanity advanced from our oral tradition, the Homeric tradition 452 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: of telling stories from generation to generation. When you played 453 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: the telephone game, stories can be altered, parts forgotten, parts changed, 454 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: maybe not even intentionally, such that over a period of time, 455 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: the true meaning, the truth thrust, the true point, could 456 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: be lost. But books allowed us to preserve What did 457 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: Plato say? What did Socrates say? What did Saint Thomas 458 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: Aquinas say? When you could preserve in writing and pass 459 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: it to the next generation, it would outlive the individuals 460 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: who owned that printing, And it was a way to 461 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: go back in time and read those words directly. This 462 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: is why the left seeks to destroy that which we 463 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: believe to be true by perverting it. Oh, Thomas Jefferson 464 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: wasn't a good man. He was a slave owner. How 465 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: many times have you heard this? Did Rush Limball get 466 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: his due when he died? No, So don't tell me 467 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: to be respectful to Jimmy Carter, who said in twenty 468 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: sixteen on the record that Donald Trump was an illegitimate 469 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: president and the Russians put him there. That's an election denier. 470 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: Won't tell me he's a good man. He's not. But 471 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: when Rush Limbaugh died, he was cut traversial right wing host. 472 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: Oh but when Jimmy Carter died, he was a good man. No, No, 473 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: he wasn't. So we closed the show with just a 474 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: few thoughts of listeners, and I know many of you 475 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: share the same and I want you to email me 476 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: with your thoughts through the website at Michael Berryshow dot com. 477 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: A little love go ahead, Richard. 478 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: Hey, November twenty eleven, week before Thanksgiving. I called it 479 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: in Rush, and I called it in and told him 480 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: something he didn't know that Obama had said. And he 481 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 2: sent me And I've had two sixty four gigs, a 482 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: case of a two hit fiveteen and a book called 483 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: an Army at One, which are on page sixty. 484 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 18: If you talked about where Ronald. 485 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 2: Reagan had wrote him a letter thanking him for what 486 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: he did on the radio, you know, for informing on 487 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 2: the public about the things he does. There'll never be 488 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 2: another Rush Flynnbaugh. 489 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: Never. Amen. Amen, But you know I will tell you, 490 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes people will post to social media about 491 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: I miss rushed. Nobody is that good anymore? And basically 492 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: kind of and then It's interesting because Ronald Reagan was 493 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: a great president, but we didn't say Reagan's gone. There'll 494 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: never be another. Trump's a great president, but there must 495 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: be another. Otherwise the movement dies. You don't have to 496 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: say greatest ever, There'll never be another. Everyone else is 497 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: terrible as a tribute to that person, and nor should you, 498 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: because that means the movement failed. Scott, you're on the 499 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: Michael Berry Show. Go Ahead.
