WEBVTT - Updates from LA - January 15th, Hour 2 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:00.400 Rt. 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.480 Leonard Skinner's simple man, and that can only mean one 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.400 thing on this radio program, and that is all things 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.639 self proclaimed simple man. That means all things Bill O'Reilly, 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.480 all things Bill O'Reilly. Of course you can find at 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.079 Bill O'Reilly dot comist or o'reiley. Glad you're with us. 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.319 What a time we have when we speak next week, 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.400 at this time, we will have a new president that 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:23.840 will be President Donald J. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:24.439 Trump. 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.000 We have a lot to talk about. The hearings for 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.840 his nominees are moving forward. Frankly, I don't see any 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.760 of them not getting in at this particular time. In 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:42.040 spite of you democratic hostility and predictable pettiness, we have 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.639 this deal in Israel where hostages held by Hamas are 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.320 expected to be released over the next forty two days. 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.720 You got the same media acting learning nothing from the election, 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.200 the wonderful, joyful people over at that hard hitting news show, 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.279 the view or attacking Carrie under Would for singing America 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.480 the beautiful at the Trump inauguration. You have yet to 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.759 go after the village people or Rascal Flats. I guess 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:15.040 that's next. You have President Biden and Kamala Harris, very 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.920 bitter trying to sabotage the incoming Trump administration. And then 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.720 we have this whole issue of wildfires in California. Is 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.160 there any preference that you have where you'd like to start. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.959 I want to just make a couple of quick points 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:35.039 on the wildfires. So I've investigated it because there's a 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.120 lot of he said, she said, and that drives everybody nuts. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.320 I can't find one thing that the state of California 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:49.760 and Gavin Newsom has done since two thy eighteen when 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:55.240 President Trump said to them, look, you got an ongoing problem. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.000 You're not clearing your forests. It's a tinderbox out there. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:03.320 It's a mess. So that's a space of seven years. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.360 I can't find one thing, Hannity, that the state of 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:12.200 California has done to mitigate the threat of wildfires. Not one. 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.120 Let me take it a step further. There is a science. 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.600 You can go to many top notch colleges and get 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.240 a degree in forestry. I'm sure you're pretty well aware 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.880 of that. Maybe you know, maybe you don't know. Gavin 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.440 Newsom is going to spend one hundred billion dollars on 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.440 electric vehicles for green energy, but he did cut one 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.239 hundred and one million dollars for fire prevention efforts from 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.799 the budget, and it gets it actually gets worse than 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.040 that bill, and it gets frustrating. If I were to 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.640 live in California, I'd be furious. And that is, you know, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.960 one hundred billion dollars for electric vehicles. They're buying these 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:55.600 eight hundred thousand dollars street sweepers, electric sweet street sweepers. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.919 In Los Angeles. They cut the firefighting budget in spa 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.240 to the fire chief warning that they have only half 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:08.280 the man power they would need for a wildfire, and 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.400 they still cut the budget, but they have the money 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.160 for the street sweepers. They're spending six hundred and fifty 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.040 million federal state dollars to make the La Port go green. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.760 On top of everything else, we have fire hydrants that 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.600 don't work, we had empty reservoirs. They're not practicing the 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.320 basic science of forestry, which is to clean out the 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.440 brush the kindling for such fires. And similarly have these 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.840 controlled burns with which they used to do more regularly, 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.720 and they're not doing anymore for environmental reasons. But I 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.960 wouldn't imagine the air quality is too good in Los 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:45.960 Angeles right now. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.240 So with all of that. I guess you agree with me. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.080 But they've done to mitigate any threat of any fun 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.040 in California. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.920 Well, do you want to give you one little tidbit? 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.880 It'll probably make your head explode. I mean, I'll be 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.160 glad to Do you know one of the reasons why 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.400 this all happened? And do you know that the reason 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.600 that they stopped a lot of fire prevention efforts was 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.720 to protect a little bush that I've never heard of before? 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:19.080 Did you know that? 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.800 Yeah, when you say a little bush and you don't 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.960 mean a political family, you mean a shrub. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.680 Yeah, like a shrub, I mean a plant. For crying 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.839 out loud, man, it wasn't weed. I mean, they have 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.120 no problem with weed out there, all right, So they 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.679 have plenty of money for sanctuary states and cities. 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.120 Yeah, and I got a lot of weed which you're 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.200 selling in the stores. But look when you break it 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.800 down like that and you say to the people of California, 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:50.360 are you mad? Are you angry? I don't know. If 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.880 the election were held tomorrow, Gavin Newsome against Garvey Right 0:04:55.440 --> 0:05:00.400 or anybody any Republican, I think some might still win. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.080 I think absolutely you'd win. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.880 And I hate to tell the people in California, and 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:10.039 I would imagine of the what fourteen thousand structures burned, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.000 that many of those people are going to leave the state. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.600 There's my prediction too. But I bet if there was 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.279 an election and Kamala Harris was on the ballot to 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.200 replace Gavin, and I think there are two peas in 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:21.560 a pod, I think she'd win. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:28.000 Yeah, So then you classify the situation as hopeless and 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.440 you say, look, the primary reason of any government, local, 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.880 state or federal is to protect the citizens. But the 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.240 progressives don't see it that way. They think that their 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.520 primary reason is to virtue signal and to have all 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.919 kinds of theoretical programs where they spend money, most of 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.360 which doesn't do any good at all, and you leave 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:57.520 the citizens exposed to danger and horror. And that's what 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.520 it is. So, you know, we have fifty states and 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.640 Americans can live in any state they want. But if 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.520 I'm in California, I'm packing my bags. And we got 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.640 a similar situation New York. And you used to live 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:09.880 here and now you live in Florida. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.039 But why aren't you packing your bags out of New York. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.880 I've asked you this question, and you heard the state 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.760 of the State addressed by Kathy Halkel Yesterday's She's not 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.960 going to lift a finger to fix the state of 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:22.440 New York. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.200 Why do you stay because I. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.919 Got family stuff here and I am It's. 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.080 Called Jet Blue, Bill, you get on Jet Blue. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.240 There are more flights to Florida from New York than 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.320 you could ever shake a stick. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.920 Hut. Look, I don't have four days to fly from 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.280 Miami to New York on Jet Blue. And that's how 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.440 long it takes. That's the worst there line in the war. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:44.120 Whatever. 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.640 You can take Delta, you can take America and every 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.720 airline out there flies from New York to Florida. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.680 Let me tell you something. I read it. I read it. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.960 Go on a pogo stick and fly gyp. 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.240 They have TVs. You take a nine o'clock flight. Get 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:01.880 to watch me in the process. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.880 I always watch you. So that let's go to the 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.160 headset situation. So I don't know him. I left Fox 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.720 when he I guess he was coming, but I've never 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.640 met him really face to face, and I was surprised 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.800 that Trump nominated him. The main reason I was surprised 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.240 was he doesn't have any administrative experience in the Pentagon's 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.680 the biggest corporation in the world. So if I'm a 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:36.560 senator sitting there, that's in the uppermost of my mind. Okay, 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.800 can this guy run the Pentagon so it doesn't descend 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.320 it to chaos? And he would have to convince me 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.880 of that if I were a senator. But that's not 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.960 what the hearings were all about. The hearings weren't about 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:55.280 that at all. It was all partisanship and on both sides, 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.720 and that's not helping out. So I wanted to hear 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.239 with heg said had to say about how he would 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:08.920 reorganize the Defence Department. What he would say isn't allowed 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.040 any longer. And you would think that the woke stuff 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.200 would go flying right out the window, because I think 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.320 that most Americans would back that. All right, That's what 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.440 I wanted to hear it, But you didn't hear it. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:24.160 You're heard all of this stuff that designed to smear 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.320 him and hurt him and hurt his family from the 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.800 Democrats and from the Republicans. Here, none of it matters. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.520 If Trump wants them, he's good and I don't think 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.080 that's healthy for the country. You know, I think that 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.000 we should be starting to see. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.319 Would why would you ever having done this for as 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.680 long as we both have done this, why would you 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:51.200 expect anything other than what was unfolding yesterday. I would 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.559 have liked to have heard about how we would invest 0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:00.320 in the technology, maybe using artificial intelligence to assist us 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.800 in really creating an iron dome to protect the entire country, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.720 considering the level of sophistication of the weaponry that is 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.199 already out there in the world. They didn't bring any 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:13.679 of that up. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.480 No, and that's why Trump and people have forgotten this 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.959 form the Space Force. So you remember before he left 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.200 in his first term, he allotted money to the Defense 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.320 Department for the Space Force that disappeared. Okay, nobody even 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.600 remembers that, but that was designed to do just what 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.800 you said. Now, does Peter haig Seth know that I 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.959 don't know what I'm trying to say. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:37.200 I do. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:42.439 I can tell you because I've had long conversations with him, 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.720 and the main focus of our conversations has been the 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.880 gap of vulnerability. As I mentioned, the next generation of warfare. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.240 We have talked about DEI and our recruitment levels the 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.560 way down. Those have been the main topics of discussion 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.000 and he also has other people behind him, people that 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.679 most people don't know have been appointed. I believe the 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.000 number two you probably know him, Steve Finberg, who ran 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:12.280 a multi multi billionaire. He ran a company, Serberus. He's 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.160 a blue collar billionaire. He drives like an old pickup truck. 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.000 And I've known him for many, many years. And he 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:22.160 was on the Civilian Intelligence Board and as top security clearance. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.360 And if you want somebody involved in advanced technology in 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.760 the military and procurement, that's your guy. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.079 Well it's good to hear. But I didn't know any 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.280 of that, and the American people didn't know any of that, 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.640 and we didn't get any of that from the Senate. 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.480 So the main arch of this discussion for me is 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.840 the Senate is now tribal and they are caring about, 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.840 you know, presenting evidence to the American people, good and bad. 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.280 Now I don't think RFK Junior is going to be confirmed, 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.160 so the others will be. I think Haig Seth will 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:58.440 make it by one vote. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.480 I'll take your bet. 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.720 I don't you take my bet. 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.640 I'll take the bet. How much you want to bet. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.040 Lavish dinner down in Palm Beach, a Labish. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.600 Thinner down in bomb Beach, Bill Bill, I eat almost 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:14.520 every meal at home. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.640 I cook my own food. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.800 But I'll make you anything that you want, your favorite meal, 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.400 and I will cook it to perfection thanks to chef 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.319 I Q sense, which I need to give you one, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:25.400 all right, I need. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:35.679 I want blackened scallops, scalloped an angry Okay, that's it now. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.800 If I lose a bet, I can't cook anything but 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.080 microwave popcorn. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.680 So you can, I'll cook.

If it's free, I'll eat it, all right, 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.880 I'm not you know, wet it in? 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:19.760 All right? 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.640 Quick break more with simple man Bill O'Reilly All Things 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:28.040 Orreillybilloreilly dot com. As we continue. All right, we continue 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.240 now with all things simple man. That's all things. Bill 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.840 O'Reilly all things Orreillybilloreilly dot com. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.360 Do you think is gonna get confirmed? 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.319 I do believe in the end he's going to be 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.800 confirmed because I've had conversations. Everything that you probably have 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.840 read about him has been mischaracterized. Now, for example, his 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:51.680 boss eats McDonald's, KFC and and pizza on a regular basis. Right, 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.240 He's not going to ban any of those things. He's 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.600 not going to ban soft drinks, He's not gonna ban vaccines. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.200 He's not going to take a different position than the 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.240 president on the president's stated position on abortion, and all 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.360 of that will come out in the hearings. What he 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:13.320 will do will he will produce non farmer meaning the 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:19.360 pharmaceutical industry, scientific information to help inform the American people 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.160 on what is healthy and not healthy. Certain things will 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.600 get banned, like you know, red dye number three and 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.560 things that are known to cause cancer. But short of that, 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.200 he's going to give people the choice to decide for themselves. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.000 If you want to get a quarter pound to a 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.360 cheese fries and a coke every day, Bill, go at it? 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:37.079 How about it? 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.520 Here's the problem. He has said so many things that 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.240 are off the wall in his past that that's all 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.520 you're going to hear about. And the Republicans are going 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.080 to be on the defensive there. And I know for 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.640 a fact that some Republican centers simply don't trust him. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.440 So I don't think he's going to get through. But 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.520 I'm looking forward to the dinner and you know me, 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:58.240 I'm good for it. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.280 If I lose, I think Tulsi's going to have a 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:02.920 harder time than RFK Junior. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:04.200 I think she'll get. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.800 Through it too, because Tolsi Gabbard is entitled to her opinion, 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.880 and if she comes into the hearings and say, look, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:15.199 I've changed my opinion, and here's why I think she'll 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.760 sail through. Pam Bondi did well today. I can hardly 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.960 watch it because of the partisanship. But she was very 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.320 relaxed and presented himself very well, gap very talented in 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.560 that area. She knows how to do. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:28.680 She was amazing. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.600 Right, Listen, I want you to stay on the line 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.400 just for this Adam going to do, because I'm going 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.600 to get you this as a president. It's called chef 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:40.280 iq sense. Now you say you only can cook microwave popcorn. 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.160 I'm gonna I'm gonna make it so even Bill O'Reilly 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:48.640 can cook the perfect burger, steak, pork chops, ribs, fish. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.360 It'll come out to your preferred outcome. How do you 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.760 like For example, you meet cook, do you like a medium? Rare? 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.480 You like a medium? You like it well done? 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.000 How do you like it medium? 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.840 Okay? You like it medium. It's simple. You just take 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.560 a you put it inside. Let's say you're eating a steak. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.280 You put it inside your steak. All right, Let's say 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.720 you're broiling it. Let's say you're grilling it. Whatever you 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.920 happen to be doing, you put it in there. Then 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.840 you go to the chef iq app and you put 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:18.880 in okay, steak ball, bounces, rare, buy, you want it medium. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.520 It will tell you when you should turn your steak 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.760 over Bill, and then it will tell you exactly when 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:30.560 it's done to perfection, whether you're cooking chicken, pork, burgers, steak, fish. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.320 It's so easy to use. You just insert the wireless 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:38.080 probe in your food.

This technic. I wish 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.040 I thought of this. I wish I could invest in 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.120 this company. I love it so much. Anyway, you're gonna 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.920 love it. It's very anexpensive chef I queue dot com today, 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:24.280 working every day to remember the forgotten man. This is 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:29.360 the Seanannity Show. You know, I still cannot get over 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:35.520 the catastrophe, the unmitigated disaster that has been Los Angeles. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.320 We still have a good percentage of these fires that 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.280 are not contained, even at this late date. I mean, 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.760 it's hard to it's it's hard to wrap your mind around, 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.680 isn't it. And I was looking at the coverage of 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.920 what's going on out there today and I'm like, I 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:56.320 just I cannot believe that the reservoir at the Santa 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:00.640 Inez Reservoir in the Pacific Palisade was empty and nobody 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.560 seemed to care. I can't believe that they have fire 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.439 hydrants that didn't have water in them and didn't work, 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.919 and the answer, well, they're not designed for wildfires. What 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.600 are they designed for? And what is your plan for wildfires? 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.560 I can't believe that that was the situation. I can't 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.320 believe that a lot of the science of forestry was 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.359 not used to protect a little shrub as we learned 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.240 yesterday and gave you a great specificity in detail, something 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.639 I'd never heard of. You know, only seventeen percent of 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:34.840 the Pacific Palisades fire week after broke out, only seventeen 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.800 percent of it is contained. You know, we're looking at 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.240 more than forty thousand acres of southern California have been 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.320 a blaze now in recent weeks. And yeah, and now 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.840 we still have more days of Santa Ana wins. All 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.320 of this is predictable, All of this is preventable. And 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.199 you know, out in Los Angeles residents they're furious, but 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.439 you want to bet any amount of money that they 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.720 probably would re elect Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom tomorrow, 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.639 and they'll probably elect Kamala Harris after Gavin Newsom leaves 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.000 office at the end of his second term, because I 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.520 think the bet would be, you know, a pretty darn 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.280 good bet. And then it even gets worse out there 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:21.600 because now we have issues involving looting where these you know, 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.080 these people are taking advantage and they're going out there, 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.480 you know, targeting abandoned homes, and you've got another problem 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:34.320 of price gouging. People are are, for example, they're jacking 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.080 up the prices of water and bare necessities. That that 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.359 can't happen is a very big distinction. Nobody has to 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.560 live in Los Angeles and the proximity near where the 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.800 fires were and the homes that survived, nobody that does 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.479 not need to happen. People can move further out and 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:59.280 get different places. In my view, Milton's Stumpess is a 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.879 Premier netw work. iHeartRadio is our parent company of the 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:07.520 Premiere Radio network. He is a salesperson. He is one 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.679 of the people, you know, the fourteen fifteen thousand people 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:16.520 that lost the structure of most of them homes. Anyway, Milton, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.479 I'm so sorry my heart goes out to you and 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.520 your family, and your friends and your neighbors and everybody 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.679 that is suffering out there, And I would argue suffering needlessly. 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:27.920 I think this could have all been prevented. 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.960 Yeah, Sean, I appreciate it. My wife here is with me, Julie, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.840 and we have just been you know, our hearts are 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.720 full with all the love and support and prayers, and 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.480 it really is you know, helped keep us strong. So 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:41.639 thank you very much for that. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.480 Well, I mean it really is amazing to me. I 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.800 mean when you discovered, when did you first hear that 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:55.280 the reservoir was empty? When did you first discover that 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.680 fire hydrants didn't work? You know, what did you make 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:03.840 of you know, the fact when you learn that out 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:10.679 in California they're spending an absolute fortune on electric what 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.119 do you call the street sweepers, and over one hundred 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.680 billion dollars on electric vehicles in the state, and they 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.000 cut one hundred and one million from the state firefighting budget. 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.840 They don't practice the science of forestry. They don't do 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.840 the controlled burns, they don't clear out the brush the 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:30.240 kindling for these fires. 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.400 I mean, as you've learned. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.359 More since all of this occurred, and you lost every 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.560 possession you ever had in that house and now you've got, 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.320 you know, your life upbended in ways that most people 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.320 can't imagine. When you learn all of that, I would 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.800 think I'd be pretty angry. Are you guys angry? Because 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:49.800 I'd be pretty angry. 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.720 We're furious, Sean. You know, we're responsible. We've lived in 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.879 this neighborhood twenty three years and just to give you 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.320 some perspective of where we live, we're on a street, 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.399 a very small street, on the top of the Timiscal 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.360 Canyon Gateway Park, a street called Rimmer, and we had 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.200 direct line of sight to not only where the fire originated, 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.120 but over the twenty three years we've lived there, we've 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.960 seen tons of fires like this and almost in every case, 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.879 you know, the the air assets are right on it. 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.560 There's trucks all over the place, this, that, and the 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:26.320 other thing. Yeah, we have a fire hydrant forever house. 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:31.239 Every single year, we religiously and we have to is 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.159 we clear the hillside, we fin out the yuke, We 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.800 dead brush all the you know, any other trees in 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.280 and around the area. And on top of that, you know, 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:41.679 on top of the property taxes which should go to 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.399 support the fire department, police of course, and keeping us 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.840 safe and keeping our properties safe. We have assessments for 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:52.639 open spaces which is sold as fire clearance and abatement, 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.240 and you know, park maintenance and this, that and the other. 0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:00.359 I will tell you that this, this area behind our house, 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:05.280 this Santa Monica Nature Conservancy was a freaking tinderbox. And 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.080 we saw the fire. I started documenting it at around 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.639 ten thirty seven am. The first air asse that I 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.080 saw was around twelve thirty Palisades Highland. I mean I 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.080 saw all these neighborhoods burned. I saw the Palisades Highland burn, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:26.280 I saw the mal Media area right across Mescal Canyon 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.040 from us burning. I did not see a single truck, 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:34.000 a single firefighter the entire day until we got off 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.840
