1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,400 Speaker 1: Rt. 2 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 2: Leonard Skinner's simple man, and that can only mean one 3 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 2: thing on this radio program, and that is all things 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 2: self proclaimed simple man. That means all things Bill O'Reilly, 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 2: all things Bill O'Reilly. Of course you can find at 6 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly dot comist or o'reiley. Glad you're with us. 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 2: What a time we have when we speak next week, 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: at this time, we will have a new president that 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: will be President Donald J. 10 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 3: Trump. 11 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: We have a lot to talk about. The hearings for 12 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 2: his nominees are moving forward. Frankly, I don't see any 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: of them not getting in at this particular time. In 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: spite of you democratic hostility and predictable pettiness, we have 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 2: this deal in Israel where hostages held by Hamas are 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: expected to be released over the next forty two days. 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: You got the same media acting learning nothing from the election, 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: the wonderful, joyful people over at that hard hitting news show, 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 2: the view or attacking Carrie under Would for singing America 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: the beautiful at the Trump inauguration. You have yet to 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 2: go after the village people or Rascal Flats. I guess 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: that's next. You have President Biden and Kamala Harris, very 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: bitter trying to sabotage the incoming Trump administration. And then 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: we have this whole issue of wildfires in California. Is 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: there any preference that you have where you'd like to start. 26 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 4: I want to just make a couple of quick points 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 4: on the wildfires. So I've investigated it because there's a 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 4: lot of he said, she said, and that drives everybody nuts. 29 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 4: I can't find one thing that the state of California 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 4: and Gavin Newsom has done since two thy eighteen when 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 4: President Trump said to them, look, you got an ongoing problem. 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: You're not clearing your forests. It's a tinderbox out there. 33 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: It's a mess. So that's a space of seven years. 34 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 4: I can't find one thing, Hannity, that the state of 35 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 4: California has done to mitigate the threat of wildfires. Not one. 36 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: Let me take it a step further. There is a science. 37 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: You can go to many top notch colleges and get 38 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 2: a degree in forestry. I'm sure you're pretty well aware 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: of that. Maybe you know, maybe you don't know. Gavin 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: Newsom is going to spend one hundred billion dollars on 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: electric vehicles for green energy, but he did cut one 42 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 2: hundred and one million dollars for fire prevention efforts from 43 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: the budget, and it gets it actually gets worse than 44 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: that bill, and it gets frustrating. If I were to 45 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: live in California, I'd be furious. And that is, you know, 46 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: one hundred billion dollars for electric vehicles. They're buying these 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand dollars street sweepers, electric sweet street sweepers. 48 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: In Los Angeles. They cut the firefighting budget in spa 49 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: to the fire chief warning that they have only half 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: the man power they would need for a wildfire, and 51 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: they still cut the budget, but they have the money 52 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: for the street sweepers. They're spending six hundred and fifty 53 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: million federal state dollars to make the La Port go green. 54 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: On top of everything else, we have fire hydrants that 55 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: don't work, we had empty reservoirs. They're not practicing the 56 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: basic science of forestry, which is to clean out the 57 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: brush the kindling for such fires. And similarly have these 58 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: controlled burns with which they used to do more regularly, 59 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: and they're not doing anymore for environmental reasons. But I 60 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: wouldn't imagine the air quality is too good in Los 61 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: Angeles right now. 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: So with all of that. I guess you agree with me. 63 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: But they've done to mitigate any threat of any fun 64 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: in California. 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: Well, do you want to give you one little tidbit? 66 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: It'll probably make your head explode. I mean, I'll be 67 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: glad to Do you know one of the reasons why 68 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: this all happened? And do you know that the reason 69 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: that they stopped a lot of fire prevention efforts was 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: to protect a little bush that I've never heard of before? 71 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: Did you know that? 72 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, when you say a little bush and you don't 73 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: mean a political family, you mean a shrub. 74 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, like a shrub, I mean a plant. For crying 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: out loud, man, it wasn't weed. I mean, they have 76 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: no problem with weed out there, all right, So they 77 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,679 Speaker 2: have plenty of money for sanctuary states and cities. 78 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I got a lot of weed which you're 79 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: selling in the stores. But look when you break it 80 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 4: down like that and you say to the people of California, 81 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 4: are you mad? Are you angry? I don't know. If 82 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: the election were held tomorrow, Gavin Newsome against Garvey Right 83 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: or anybody any Republican, I think some might still win. 84 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: I think absolutely you'd win. 85 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: And I hate to tell the people in California, and 86 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: I would imagine of the what fourteen thousand structures burned, 87 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: that many of those people are going to leave the state. 88 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: There's my prediction too. But I bet if there was 89 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: an election and Kamala Harris was on the ballot to 90 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: replace Gavin, and I think there are two peas in 91 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: a pod, I think she'd win. 92 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, So then you classify the situation as hopeless and 93 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: you say, look, the primary reason of any government, local, 94 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 4: state or federal is to protect the citizens. But the 95 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: progressives don't see it that way. They think that their 96 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 4: primary reason is to virtue signal and to have all 97 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 4: kinds of theoretical programs where they spend money, most of 98 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 4: which doesn't do any good at all, and you leave 99 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: the citizens exposed to danger and horror. And that's what 100 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: it is. So, you know, we have fifty states and 101 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: Americans can live in any state they want. But if 102 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: I'm in California, I'm packing my bags. And we got 103 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: a similar situation New York. And you used to live 104 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: here and now you live in Florida. 105 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 2: But why aren't you packing your bags out of New York. 106 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: I've asked you this question, and you heard the state 107 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: of the State addressed by Kathy Halkel Yesterday's She's not 108 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: going to lift a finger to fix the state of 109 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: New York. 110 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: Why do you stay because I. 111 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 4: Got family stuff here and I am It's. 112 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: Called Jet Blue, Bill, you get on Jet Blue. 113 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: There are more flights to Florida from New York than 114 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: you could ever shake a stick. 115 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 4: Hut. Look, I don't have four days to fly from 116 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 4: Miami to New York on Jet Blue. And that's how 117 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 4: long it takes. That's the worst there line in the war. 118 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: Whatever. 119 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: You can take Delta, you can take America and every 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 2: airline out there flies from New York to Florida. 121 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. I read it. I read it. 122 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 4: Go on a pogo stick and fly gyp. 123 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: They have TVs. You take a nine o'clock flight. Get 124 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: to watch me in the process. 125 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 4: I always watch you. So that let's go to the 126 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: headset situation. So I don't know him. I left Fox 127 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 4: when he I guess he was coming, but I've never 128 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 4: met him really face to face, and I was surprised 129 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 4: that Trump nominated him. The main reason I was surprised 130 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: was he doesn't have any administrative experience in the Pentagon's 131 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 4: the biggest corporation in the world. So if I'm a 132 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: senator sitting there, that's in the uppermost of my mind. Okay, 133 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: can this guy run the Pentagon so it doesn't descend 134 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: it to chaos? And he would have to convince me 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: of that if I were a senator. But that's not 136 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: what the hearings were all about. The hearings weren't about 137 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: that at all. It was all partisanship and on both sides, 138 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 4: and that's not helping out. So I wanted to hear 139 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 4: with heg said had to say about how he would 140 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: reorganize the Defence Department. What he would say isn't allowed 141 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 4: any longer. And you would think that the woke stuff 142 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: would go flying right out the window, because I think 143 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: that most Americans would back that. All right, That's what 144 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: I wanted to hear it, But you didn't hear it. 145 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: You're heard all of this stuff that designed to smear 146 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 4: him and hurt him and hurt his family from the 147 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: Democrats and from the Republicans. Here, none of it matters. 148 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 4: If Trump wants them, he's good and I don't think 149 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 4: that's healthy for the country. You know, I think that 150 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: we should be starting to see. 151 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: Would why would you ever having done this for as 152 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: long as we both have done this, why would you 153 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: expect anything other than what was unfolding yesterday. I would 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: have liked to have heard about how we would invest 155 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: in the technology, maybe using artificial intelligence to assist us 156 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: in really creating an iron dome to protect the entire country, 157 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: considering the level of sophistication of the weaponry that is 158 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: already out there in the world. They didn't bring any 159 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: of that up. 160 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: No, and that's why Trump and people have forgotten this 161 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 4: form the Space Force. So you remember before he left 162 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 4: in his first term, he allotted money to the Defense 163 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: Department for the Space Force that disappeared. Okay, nobody even 164 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 4: remembers that, but that was designed to do just what 165 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 4: you said. Now, does Peter haig Seth know that I 166 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 4: don't know what I'm trying to say. 167 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: I do. 168 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: I can tell you because I've had long conversations with him, 169 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: and the main focus of our conversations has been the 170 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: gap of vulnerability. As I mentioned, the next generation of warfare. 171 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: We have talked about DEI and our recruitment levels the 172 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: way down. Those have been the main topics of discussion 173 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: and he also has other people behind him, people that 174 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: most people don't know have been appointed. I believe the 175 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: number two you probably know him, Steve Finberg, who ran 176 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: a multi multi billionaire. He ran a company, Serberus. He's 177 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: a blue collar billionaire. He drives like an old pickup truck. 178 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: And I've known him for many, many years. And he 179 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: was on the Civilian Intelligence Board and as top security clearance. 180 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: And if you want somebody involved in advanced technology in 181 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: the military and procurement, that's your guy. 182 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 4: Well it's good to hear. But I didn't know any 183 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 4: of that, and the American people didn't know any of that, 184 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 4: and we didn't get any of that from the Senate. 185 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 4: So the main arch of this discussion for me is 186 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 4: the Senate is now tribal and they are caring about, 187 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 4: you know, presenting evidence to the American people, good and bad. 188 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: Now I don't think RFK Junior is going to be confirmed, 189 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: so the others will be. I think Haig Seth will 190 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 4: make it by one vote. 191 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: I'll take your bet. 192 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 4: I don't you take my bet. 193 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: I'll take the bet.

Everything that you probably have 226 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: read about him has been mischaracterized. Now, for example, his 227 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 2: boss eats McDonald's, KFC and and pizza on a regular basis. Right, 228 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: He's not going to ban any of those things.

What he 233 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: will do will he will produce non farmer meaning the 234 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: pharmaceutical industry, scientific information to help inform the American people 235 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: on what is healthy and not healthy. Certain things will 236 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: get banned, like you know, red dye number three and 237 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: things that are known to cause cancer. But short of that, 238 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: he's going to give people the choice to decide for themselves. 239 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: If you want to get a quarter pound to a 240 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: cheese fries and a coke every day, Bill, go at it? 241 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 3: How about it? 242 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: Here's the problem. He has said so many things that 243 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 4: are off the wall in his past that that's all 244 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: you're going to hear about. And the Republicans are going 245 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 4: to be on the defensive there. And I know for 246 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 4: a fact that some Republican centers simply don't trust him. 247 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 4: So I don't think he's going to get through. But 248 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to the dinner and you know me, 249 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 4: I'm good for it. 250 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: If I lose, I think Tulsi's going to have a 251 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: harder time than RFK Junior. 252 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: I think she'll get. 253 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: Through it too, because Tolsi Gabbard is entitled to her opinion, 254 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 4: and if she comes into the hearings and say, look, 255 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 4: I've changed my opinion, and here's why I think she'll 256 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: sail through. Pam Bondi did well today. I can hardly 257 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 4: watch it because of the partisanship.

This is 299 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 2: the Seanannity Show. You know, I still cannot get over 300 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: the catastrophe, the unmitigated disaster that has been Los Angeles. 301 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: We still have a good percentage of these fires that 302 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: are not contained, even at this late date. I mean, 303 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: it's hard to it's it's hard to wrap your mind around, 304 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: isn't it. And I was looking at the coverage of 305 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: what's going on out there today and I'm like, I 306 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: just I cannot believe that the reservoir at the Santa 307 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: Inez Reservoir in the Pacific Palisade was empty and nobody 308 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: seemed to care. I can't believe that they have fire 309 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: hydrants that didn't have water in them and didn't work, 310 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 2: and the answer, well, they're not designed for wildfires. What 311 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: are they designed for? And what is your plan for wildfires? 312 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: I can't believe that that was the situation. I can't 313 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: believe that a lot of the science of forestry was 314 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: not used to protect a little shrub as we learned 315 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: yesterday and gave you a great specificity in detail, something 316 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: I'd never heard of. You know, only seventeen percent of 317 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: the Pacific Palisades fire week after broke out, only seventeen 318 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: percent of it is contained. You know, we're looking at 319 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: more than forty thousand acres of southern California have been 320 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: a blaze now in recent weeks. And yeah, and now 321 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: we still have more days of Santa Ana wins. All 322 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: of this is predictable, All of this is preventable. And 323 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 2: you know, out in Los Angeles residents they're furious, but 324 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 2: you want to bet any amount of money that they 325 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: probably would re elect Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom tomorrow, 326 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 2: and they'll probably elect Kamala Harris after Gavin Newsom leaves 327 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: office at the end of his second term, because I 328 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: think the bet would be, you know, a pretty darn 329 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: good bet. And then it even gets worse out there 330 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: because now we have issues involving looting where these you know, 331 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: these people are taking advantage and they're going out there, 332 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: you know, targeting abandoned homes, and you've got another problem 333 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: of price gouging. People are are, for example, they're jacking 334 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: up the prices of water and bare necessities. That that 335 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: can't happen is a very big distinction. Nobody has to 336 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: live in Los Angeles and the proximity near where the 337 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: fires were and the homes that survived, nobody that does 338 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 2: not need to happen. People can move further out and 339 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: get different places. In my view, Milton's Stumpess is a 340 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: Premier netw work. iHeartRadio is our parent company of the 341 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: Premiere Radio network. He is a salesperson. He is one 342 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 2: of the people, you know, the fourteen fifteen thousand people 343 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: that lost the structure of most of them homes. Anyway, Milton, 344 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,479 Speaker 2: I'm so sorry my heart goes out to you and 345 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: your family, and your friends and your neighbors and everybody 346 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 2: that is suffering out there, And I would argue suffering needlessly. 347 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: I think this could have all been prevented. 348 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean, I appreciate it.

So 352 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: thank you very much for that. 353 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: Well, I mean it really is amazing to me. I 354 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: mean when you discovered, when did you first hear that 355 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: the reservoir was empty? When did you first discover that 356 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: fire hydrants didn't work? You know, what did you make 357 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: of you know, the fact when you learn that out 358 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 2: in California they're spending an absolute fortune on electric what 359 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 2: do you call the street sweepers, and over one hundred 360 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: billion dollars on electric vehicles in the state, and they 361 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: cut one hundred and one million from the state firefighting budget. 362 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: They don't practice the science of forestry. They don't do 363 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: the controlled burns, they don't clear out the brush the 364 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: kindling for these fires. 365 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 3: I mean, as you've learned. 366 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: More since all of this occurred, and you lost every 367 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: possession you ever had in that house and now you've got, 368 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: you know, your life upbended in ways that most people 369 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: can't imagine. When you learn all of that, I would 370 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: think I'd be pretty angry. Are you guys angry? Because 371 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: I'd be pretty angry. 372 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: We're furious, Sean. You know, we're responsible. We've lived in 373 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: this neighborhood twenty three years and just to give you 374 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: some perspective of where we live, we're on a street, 375 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: a very small street, on the top of the Timiscal 376 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: Canyon Gateway Park, a street called Rimmer, and we had 377 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: direct line of sight to not only where the fire originated, 378 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: but over the twenty three years we've lived there, we've 379 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: seen tons of fires like this and almost in every case, 380 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: you know, the the air assets are right on it. 381 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: There's trucks all over the place, this, that, and the 382 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: other thing. Yeah, we have a fire hydrant forever house. 383 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 1: Every single year, we religiously and we have to is 384 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: we clear the hillside, we fin out the yuke, We 385 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: dead brush all the you know, any other trees in 386 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: and around the area. And on top of that, you know, 387 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: on top of the property taxes which should go to 388 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: support the fire department, police of course, and keeping us 389 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: safe and keeping our properties safe. We have assessments for 390 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: open spaces which is sold as fire clearance and abatement, 391 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: and you know, park maintenance and this, that and the other. 392 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: I will tell you that this, this area behind our house, 393 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: this Santa Monica Nature Conservancy was a freaking tinderbox. And 394 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: we saw the fire. I started documenting it at around 395 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: ten thirty seven am. The first air asse that I 396 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: saw was around twelve thirty Palisades Highland. I mean I 397 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: saw all these neighborhoods burned. I saw the Palisades Highland burn, 398 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: I saw the mal Media area right across Mescal Canyon 399 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: from us burning. I did not see a single truck, 400 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: a single firefighter the entire day until we got off 401 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: our hill, and I did see. I did see a 402 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: couple of DWP trucks though, and they control both our 403 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: water and power. They were not looking overhead at our 404 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: overhead lines. They were all stationed in and around water 405 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: shut off valve areas, and so all of this is 406 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: just maddening. After you know, hearing about no water in 407 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: the you know, no water available to the fire department 408 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: and that's I guess one of the reasons why they 409 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: didn't deploy. I mean, we thought, we thought for sure 410 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: we would have a fighting chance with a truck on 411 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: our block and the foss check line being drawn or 412 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: something helping us. But we were sitting freaking duck stron. 413 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it really is remarkable. And when did you 414 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: finally make the decision you had to get out? 415 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: We you know, luckily, my wife and I took cert 416 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: training because basically the fire department that teaches us this 417 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: basically said, you know what, you guys are probably with 418 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 1: the major event, and we're thinking earthquake, right, We're going 419 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: to be alone and we're going to have to fend 420 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: for ourselves. So we all all of our neighbors on 421 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: the street got together and made sure that everybody was 422 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: able to get out of there with their lives, and 423 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: my wife and I were one of the last to 424 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: leave our streets with an older neighbor and a police 425 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: car behind us at about just a little under four PM. 426 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: My wife and I tried to get back into the 427 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: neighborhood at five PM, and that was our last attempt 428 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: because at that point, our entire neighborhood was involved in flames. 429 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 2: All right, quick break, welcome back. One of the victims 430 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: of the Pacific Palisades fires happens to work with our 431 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: company iHeart Media and Premiere Radio Networks, Milton stump As 432 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: he lost everything. 433 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 3: As we continue. 434 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 2: On the Sean Hannity Show, a place where free speech 435 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: and the First Amendment are still alive and well. Liberalism 436 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 2: is a failed ideology. Get your dose of independence and 437 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: liberty every weekday right here with Sean. 438 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: With Sean Hannity, more with Milton Stumpus. 439 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: He works with us at iHeart and Premiere Radio Networks, 440 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: and he was one of the victims, his entire home 441 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: burn of the ground in the Pacific Palisades. As we 442 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: discussed the real impact on real people and of course 443 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: the failure year of government on every level. Do you 444 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: know where you lived in Pacific Palisades. In twenty nineteen, 445 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: the LA Department of Water and Power began replacing nearly 446 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: one hundred year old power lines cutting through Topanga State Park. 447 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 2: When the project was stopped within days of starting by environmentalists. 448 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: They were outraged that the federally endangered Broughton's milk vetched 449 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: plants had been trampled on during the process. The whole 450 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: purpose of the project was to improve fire safety for 451 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 2: the Pacific Palisades area by replacing wooden poles, which steel, 452 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: widening fire access lanes in the area, installing wind and 453 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 2: fire resistant power lines, all after the area was identified 454 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: as having an elevated fire risk. This project will help 455 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: ensure power reliability and safety and help reduce wildfire threats. 456 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: They said at the time. It was stopped within days 457 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: because of radical environmentalists. Now do you even know what 458 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: a Bronten milk fetch is because it looks to me 459 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: like a weed, I. 460 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: John, I doubt, and I wonder how they're doing at 461 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: this time in my neighborhood right because there's I don't 462 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: see a single thing that's living well. 463 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: The governor cut and slashed one hundred and one million 464 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 2: dollars in June from the firefighting effort budget that you 465 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 2: guys have out there. The Mayor's cut it by just 466 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: millions of dollars prior to this, but they had six 467 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million state and federal dollars to make 468 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 2: La Port the Laport green. They have over a billion 469 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 2: dollars that they put aside, which kind of shocked me 470 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: for electric vehicles on a state level, and in LA 471 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: you're paying for these green energy sweepers that street sweepers 472 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 2: rather than cost eight hundred grand apiece. 473 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 3: Did you know any of that? 474 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: You know what I have because we followed that. Thank 475 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: you for bringing that up. So this, I think, this thing, 476 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: what we've gone through in the Palisades is going to 477 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: be unprecedented in the in the regard as the toxins 478 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: are so unbelievable because there were so many evs there, 479 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: those EV charging stations, solar panels, and basically it's with 480 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: all the lithian ion that has been burning like crazy. 481 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: I remember the I fifteen was closed for like almost 482 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: a month when one truck with evy with the batteries 483 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: spilled over and it took them like a month to 484 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: put the fire out. This entire neighborhood Sean is covered 485 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: with lithian ions that have been burning. The ground is 486 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: probably going to be having to be you know, managed 487 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: by some kind of super fun site because it is 488 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: extremely toxic. 489 00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 2: Right now, what are your plans? I mean, obviously it's now. 490 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: Gavin did say that he would try to expedite the 491 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 2: building process, the rebuilding process for people, but I don't know. 492 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 2: There's an insurance problem out there. What are your plans? 493 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 2: Are you going to stay in California? Are you going 494 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: to sell off you a lot? Are you going to rebuild? 495 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: And how long is that going to take? What are 496 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 2: your plans? 497 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: Our mor neighbors that you know work together to get 498 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: everybody out alive. We all kind of have formed a 499 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: text thread and we're communicating and so far everybody appears 500 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: to want to and we included is rebuild. And here's 501 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: my thought on that. Because you've got the twenty eight 502 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: Olympics coming to Los Angeles. They do not want to 503 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: lose the Olympics. You've got Rick Caruso, who you know, 504 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: with his own money, saved his own village because you know, 505 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: he brought in his own water trucks, tanker trucks, and 506 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: he had a private fire department. And with all the 507 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: other people that are literally the movers and shakers of 508 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, many in California and you know this country 509 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: that have lost their homes, their kids have lost their 510 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: homes and schools, et cetera. I think there's going to 511 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: be an all hands on deck rebuild effort to get 512 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: this thing up and running, and you know what I 513 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: would like to be a part of, you know, rebuilding 514 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: a neighborhood that's very important to Los Angeles. It's amazing 515 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles that it doesn't necessarily have million and billionaires. 516 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 2: Can I ask you an honest question, why would you 517 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 2: bother to stay out there? You pay the highest taxes 518 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: in the entire country, and this is the type of 519 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: service you get, and this is now the biggest project 520 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: you're going to take on in your adult life. Why 521 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: I I mean, these are the reasons I got out 522 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 2: of New York right and I've been gone for a 523 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 2: full year and I'm now my second year full time 524 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: in Florida. I left, I sold everything, handed my gun 525 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: license back, I de registered to vote. 526 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: You know, I just disconnected. But you're going to this 527 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: sounds like you're going to stay. 528 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: Well, if you know what, I'm cautiously optimistic. If this 529 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: does not change policy with forest management, with water management, 530 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: including you know, the reservoirs and not blowing up dams 531 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: and all of those things, and staffing protective services that 532 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: will keep citizens alive and the property safe. If that 533 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: doesn't happen, then you know, like you we just may 534 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: tap out, you know, because it. 535 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 4: Won't worth it. 536 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry I have to go through all of any 537 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: of it, and I'm sorry for your neighbors, and i'm sorry, 538 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 2: sorry for every victim here and I mean that with 539 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 2: all my heart and I wish you the best and 540 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you. 541 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: Hi Palm, Thank you, Sean hanging in there.
