Speaker 1: Unafraid Show Daily Live, and this is a little bit
Speaker 1: of a departure from what we normally make, which is
Speaker 1: the college football content. Unafraid Show Daily is back, people.
Speaker 1: We will be here Monday through Thursday in the afternoon
Speaker 1: and then on Tuesday nights, Thursday nights and Sundays we
Speaker 1: will have the regularly scheduled college football content. So that's
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. But we did want to make sure
Speaker 1: that Hafter, I'm done with the nightcap and that we
Speaker 1: can talk about all of these sports things going out
Speaker 1: and out in the world. And today we got a
Speaker 1: bunch of good things to talk about. Majority of them
Speaker 1: come from the NFL world, and we have wild Card
Speaker 1: weekend and there were some disappointments and we got to
Speaker 1: ask some very tough questions. Number One, is Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: QB one in the NFL, Now that's the question, justin
Speaker 1: Herbert the social media quarterback? And is Mike Tomlin should
Speaker 1: he be fired in Pittsburgh? Should they part ways move on?
Speaker 1: And everything in between? And we got to talk about
Speaker 1: the California fires that are going on. So that's what
Speaker 1: we got today. So but first before we even get started,
Speaker 1: I want to send prayers, thoughts and prayers to everybody
Speaker 1: who has been affected by these fires. I've had friends, family,
Speaker 1: all sorts of people impacted by it. Houses burned down
Speaker 1: and everything. My family is safe. We're grateful for it
Speaker 1: and grateful for your prayers and thoughts and everybody who's
Speaker 1: checked in. So we appreciate that. All right. So we'll
Speaker 1: start though with NFL Wildcard weekend cause and it all
Speaker 1: started really with Lamar Jackson and company in the Pittsburgh Steelers,
Speaker 1: and how you know, we were gonna view everything that
Speaker 1: happened with them. Lamar finished one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns, and then he ran for another eighty
Speaker 1: one yards as well, and they're twenty eight to fourteen
Speaker 1: victory over Pittsburgh where I think at one point time
Speaker 1: they're up twenty eight to nothing. And so we're gonna
Speaker 1: start with the Lamar Jackson part of this because the
Speaker 1: question is is Lamar Jackson QB one in the NFL now,
Speaker 1: as in the best quarterback in the National Football League
Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of people that want to put
Speaker 1: that on Josh Allen because he was the guy that
Speaker 1: they wanted to be the MVP. Oh, they were pushing.
Speaker 1: And but now when you come with Lamar Jackson winning
Speaker 1: the division highest inner touchdown interception ratio in NFL history,
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, the whole MVP race changed.
Speaker 1: And I believe that Lamar will win MVP now because
Speaker 1: he was voted first team All Pro, which a lot
Speaker 1: of those voters are saying, people that vote for the MVP.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how you can have a guy
Speaker 1: who is first team All Pro but then not the MVP.
Speaker 1: I know we've seen it in the NBA where Lebron
Speaker 1: was first team All NBA Defense, Mark Gasol was second
Speaker 1: team defense, but he won defensive plaarity. I know sometimes
Speaker 1: weird stuff happens, but I'd be willing to bet that
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson wins. And remember, this is a guy who
Speaker 1: Bill Pollion and other people when he came out of
Speaker 1: Louisville were like, yo, he's not a quarterback, he's a
Speaker 1: running Essentially, what they were saying was is that he's
Speaker 1: a running black. That's what it was. Because so many
Speaker 1: times talent evaluators and everything else they don't know how
Speaker 1: to well, they're getting a better job now of understanding
Speaker 1: how to deal with a person's athleticism, because a quarterback's athleticism,
Speaker 1: because it used to just be oh, we're gonna throw
Speaker 1: him at wide receiver, put him at running back. He
Speaker 1: could make exposed to plays for us. When in reality
Speaker 1: is if you have that type of dynamic player with
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands every single play and he
Speaker 1: can process and has the arm talent to be able
Speaker 1: to do it, that's the position. Well in the leadership
Speaker 1: ability as well, that's the position that he should be
Speaker 1: playing and not any of those other positions because of
Speaker 1: the magnetude of the position. So we've seen Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: develop as a passer every single year. And I was
Speaker 1: looking at his stats and I was like, wait, hold up.
Speaker 1: We all know that this is his best year in
Speaker 1: terms of touchdown passes. His previous high was his first
Speaker 1: MVP year in twenty nineteen, where he thirty six touchdowns
Speaker 1: six interceptions. Well, this year forty one and four, but
Speaker 1: he threw for over four thousand yards for the first
Speaker 1: time in his career. So we've watched through his seven
Speaker 1: years in the NFL, We've watched that guy get better
Speaker 1: and better and better as a passer every single year.
Speaker 1: Then the narrative was, well, he can't win in the playoffs. Well,
Speaker 1: he's winning in the playoffs and winning in a dominant
Speaker 1: fashion now, and I believe for this season, Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: is QB one. He was the best quarterback in the
Speaker 1: NFL in twenty twenty four. I still have Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: number one in my overall, but after this this year,
Speaker 1: this is something where if Lamar is able to get
Speaker 1: his team past Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs or to
Speaker 1: a super Bowl winner super Bowl, now we may have
Speaker 1: to have a legitimate conversation not just off of one season,
Speaker 1: but next year that could really change them overall rankings,
Speaker 1: because right now, I got Lamar Jackson number one best
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL for twenty twenty four. Pay attention
Speaker 1: to the details. For twenty twenty four, Lamar Jackson was
Speaker 1: the best quarterback is the best quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I got Joe Burrow number two, got Josh Allen number three,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes number four, and Jared Goff number five, and
Speaker 1: then after that we got like Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: the rest of the crew. Those are the rankings that
Speaker 1: we got for this year, and we got to be
Speaker 1: able to get new information and say, yo, what that
Speaker 1: dude doing is special? And look is wide receiver corps.
Speaker 1: He's got Zay Flowers, who's out who's a good player obviously,
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman, Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely. He's not playing with
Speaker 1: t Higgins and Jamar Chase. He's not playing with that.
Speaker 1: He's not playing with Justin Jefferson. He's not playing with
Speaker 1: any of the top, like the top five to ten
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the entire league. That's not what he's
Speaker 1: playing with. I can't even imagine if he had those guys. Now,
Speaker 1: with what he's been able to do, and you look
Speaker 1: at the maturation from the original offense that he was
Speaker 1: into now what he's done with todp Monkin love it.
Speaker 1: But also in that game though the Steelers were playing,
Speaker 1: and of course Mike Tomlin around this time of year,
Speaker 1: he becomes an absolute lightning rod. People got their hot
Speaker 1: takes and everything that they think about Mike. Well, the
Speaker 1: question is should Mike Tomlin be fired? Should Pittsburgh move
Speaker 1: on from him? Now, one school of thought, if you
Speaker 1: fire Mike Tomlin, he's gonna have a job in ten
Speaker 1: minutes if he wants one. There are a bunch of
Speaker 1: coaches who will fire their coaches to have Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1: Now Here are Mike Tomlin's strengths right, his best strength.
Speaker 1: And I know people who coach for him currently, know
Speaker 1: coaches who've coached for him in the past. They all
Speaker 1: talk about two things, his leadership and his consistency. And
Speaker 1: to be a head coach in the NFL, you have
Speaker 1: to be a great leader of men. And Mike Tomlins
Speaker 1: has obviously won a super Bowl in the beginning of
Speaker 1: his tenure with Ben Roethlisberger everything else, and at that
Speaker 1: point in time, their defense wasn't as good as it
Speaker 1: is now well, despite how bad they looked against the
Speaker 1: Ravens in the playoffs, but he has built a culture
Speaker 1: there where people are trusted. People trust him, they believe
Speaker 1: in him, They know his consistency, and I believe that fans.
Speaker 1: Of course, you grow tired of being just pretty good, right,
Speaker 1: and you want to get to the mountaintop. But I've
Speaker 1: always believed that fans actually have a tougher time with
Speaker 1: their team. Yo yo, and like being good being bad
Speaker 1: and you win a championship, be sorry is held in the
Speaker 1: next few years, and so you have to applaud Mike
Speaker 1: Tomlin's consistency, but where I believe, I would not fire
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. However, though, I do believe that Mike Tomlin
Speaker 1: needs a reset, and not a reset on his characters,
Speaker 1: well on his character, not a reset on his morals,
Speaker 1: not a reset on his leadership, not of any of
Speaker 1: those things. I think he needs a reset on his
Speaker 1: offensive philosophy. I never like the hire of Arthur Smith
Speaker 1: as his offensive coordinator, and I do believe that he's
Speaker 1: got a step into the modern age and just the
Speaker 1: whole thinking about offense. He's got to hire one of
Speaker 1: these hot shot young Ben Johnson type offensive geniuses on
Speaker 1: offense and let them cook. That's what he's got to do.
Speaker 1: And he's done a good job hiring at other positions
Speaker 1: and put together a good, loyal, reliable staff. And I
Speaker 1: know he doesn't like to make a lot of changes,
Speaker 1: but that's probably the one change that Mike Tomlin needs
Speaker 1: to make, is an offensive philosophy change. Say hold up,
Speaker 1: hold up. I know that this is my team and
Speaker 1: this is my imprint everywhere, but what I need to
Speaker 1: do is say hold up, hold up. I gotta do
Speaker 1: something like Nick Saban did. And remember Nick Saban was
Speaker 1: stuck in a less miles sec run and punt football
Speaker 1: type of game, and then he woke up one day
Speaker 1: and was like, oh, damn, I need a quarterback. I
Speaker 1: gotta be at a throw to ball. We can line
Speaker 1: up in four wideouts still be able to run the
Speaker 1: football and everything else. He recognized that football was changing
Speaker 1: and that he had to change his philosophy and the
Speaker 1: way that he was going to run the team, because
Speaker 1: it's not just getting a good offensive coordinator. It is
Speaker 1: because the head coach rains down in terms of the
Speaker 1: way that the team will operate and the mentality. You
Speaker 1: look at a guy like Dan Campbell over in Detroit. Yes,
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson is really good at doing his job. But
Speaker 1: if Dan Campbell was being more conservative and was like,
Speaker 1: we're not going for it on fourth downs like it's
Speaker 1: fourth and inches, punt the football and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: that then changes the whole mentality of the team. It
Speaker 1: changes the mentality of Ben Johnson as a play caller,
Speaker 1: everything in between. So that's where Mike Tomlin has to
Speaker 1: have some sort of growth, right And now, do I
Speaker 1: believe his message is running stale in Pittsburgh? Absolutely not.
Speaker 1: His team goes out and plays hard. He finds a way,
Speaker 1: no matter what you give him at quarterback, finds a
Speaker 1: way to put together a winning record every single year.
Speaker 1: So if number one, you can find him a quarterback,
Speaker 1: and truth be told, you don't even need to have
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. You need a good quarterback. When you
Speaker 1: look at what a team like the Minnesota Vikings has
Speaker 1: done and Kevin O'Connell, what he's been able to do
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold, that's what he needs. He needs the
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell in Pittsburgh. That's what he needs. Because your
Speaker 1: quarterback play can work in the right system, if you
Speaker 1: have the right offensive prowess, you can make it work.
Speaker 1: Just like a guy like Kyle Shanahan, He's made it
Speaker 1: work with lesser quarterbacks. Brock Thurty's not a top five,
Speaker 1: top ten passer in the league, but does he look
Speaker 1: like it a lot of times one hundred percent because
Speaker 1: you're able to run the system and it works and
Speaker 1: everything else. So that's important. So I would not fire
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, but there is some consideration that he's got
Speaker 1: to do some things significantly differently. What else is going on?
Speaker 1: So over with the Philadelphia egos. This team is clearly good.
Speaker 1: They won their playoff game. Everybody is, you know, joyous
Speaker 1: and excited. They beat the Packers twenty two to twenty
Speaker 1: last night, and you're like, hold up, hold up. Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts threw for one hundred and thirty one yards two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: But the male content showed up again, and the mal
Speaker 1: content is aj Brown, who finished the game one catch
Speaker 1: for ten yards. Now, part of this is wide receiver
Speaker 1: diva wide receiver because you just won an NFL playoff game.
Speaker 1: You dominated the game twenty two to ten, and you're
Speaker 1: upset that you only had one catch and visibly upset
Speaker 1: in front of the media to where they know that
Speaker 1: there's a problem with something. And yes, I do understand
Speaker 1: as a pass catcher that you want to be involved
Speaker 1: in the offense. You don't want to be out there
Speaker 1: just doing cardio routes. You want to or running for
Speaker 1: the love of the game. You want to be you
Speaker 1: want to feel like you contribute it to the winning.
Speaker 1: But sometimes that's not going to happen and it's gotta
Speaker 1: be okay. And you pouting in the locker room is lame.
Speaker 1: AJ Brown pouting? Oh Man I'm not gonna say anything.
Speaker 1: You're actually saying something. Don't do that. You are actually
Speaker 1: to the rest of your teammates. Everybody is looking at
Speaker 1: you like this, dude, bro, I get that you want passes,
Speaker 1: but we won in the playoffs. We are one step
Speaker 1: closer to winning a Super Bowl. Maybe next game you'll
Speaker 1: have thirteen catches for one hundred and seventy eight yards.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the case and it'll all balance out. But
Speaker 1: this sort of attitude only brings up, only brings a distraction,
Speaker 1: a disturbance in that locker room. And I wonder if
Speaker 1: Justin of Justin Jalen Hurts comments about him reading that
Speaker 1: book on the sideline because and if you don't know,
Speaker 1: aj Brown brings that book on the sideline, Apparently nobody
Speaker 1: had really paid attention, and everybody just asked him, why
Speaker 1: the hell is he reading the book on the sideline,
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, it helps me with my
Speaker 1: mental game. It's all mental and okay whatever, and they
Speaker 1: asked Jalen Hurst. Jalen Hurts says, I've seen him with
Speaker 1: the book. I never seen him read it though, And
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was a shot or not,
Speaker 1: because Jalen Hurst looks like the dude, like the dry eyes,
Speaker 1: clear eyes, the yeah, the clear eyes, guy who can
Speaker 1: tell a joke with a straight face, and you know,
Speaker 1: and he's telling a joke or was there a little
Speaker 1: bit of seriousness behind it? Because I do not believe
Speaker 1: that the problems that AJ Brown presented this season about
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts are going to be fixed no matter what.
Speaker 1: And if I'm the Eagles, I'm probably shipping AJ Brown
Speaker 1: out after this season, no matter what happens, because I
Speaker 1: don't believe that you can necessarily win a championship with
Speaker 1: a guy who is this unhappy sixty seven catches, one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand and seventy nine yards and seven touchdowns, and
Speaker 1: I know that he's like, this isn't my usual production. Well,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four you only played thirteen games, so
Speaker 1: that contributed to it. And last year you had one
Speaker 1: hundred and six catches for fourteen hundred yards, like every
Speaker 1: year is not going to be a career year and
Speaker 1: you but you did go for your third straight thousand
Speaker 1: yard season, and that's got to be the thing. And
Speaker 1: you focus on how do we get better? How do
Speaker 1: I get open better? How can we change the offense
Speaker 1: so it's cleaner for the quarterback, so we can all
Speaker 1: eat better. But for you to be complaining on a
Speaker 1: team that has that finished fourteen and three and just
Speaker 1: won a playoff game, those are off season concerns that
Speaker 1: you need to address. Don't be a powder in the
Speaker 1: locker room. Don't do it. It's not good. The next
Speaker 1: thing up that we gotta discuss is Justin Herbert, a
Speaker 1: social media quarterback, is getting way too much praise and
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. This is easy target, man. This
Speaker 1: is a dude who is a one hundred percent easy target.
Speaker 1: It is easy for people to look at Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: and say, oh my god, he's overrated. Look at his
Speaker 1: playoff wins, Look at the last three must win games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: was that Jacksonville game where they lost what a twenty
Speaker 1: seven point lead in the in the play of a
Speaker 1: couple years ago? Was that bad? But situations and nuanced matters.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why the Chargers fired their most recent
Speaker 1: head coach, Brandon Staley. He was supposed to be a
Speaker 1: defensive genius. Justin Herbert is putting up all type of
Speaker 1: crazy stats and you're not surrounding him with a decent defense,
Speaker 1: like your overall defense is that his entire over his
Speaker 1: entire career with Brandon Staley, averaged like twenty three to
Speaker 1: twenty four in the league. And you're supposed to be
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. They're like, oh, but the best quarterbacks win.
Speaker 1: The best quarterbacks typically have good defenses too. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: never well, actually only two seasons in his entire career
Speaker 1: finished with a defense that was not top ten. You
Speaker 1: don't think that that helps with your offense sputters, or
Speaker 1: you have some tough times, or your wideouts are are hurt,
Speaker 1: not pay well, anything like that. You don't think that helps.
Speaker 1: It absolutely does. So Justin Herbert is an easy target.
Speaker 1: He is the guy that Emmanuel Acho is pointed out
Speaker 1: like that he's going to go get So he actually
Speaker 1: needs Justin Herbert to make the playoffs every year, have
Speaker 1: some success, so then he can bang this drum. He
Speaker 1: can bang it all year next year. We don't care
Speaker 1: what happens in the regular season. We need to see
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do in the playoffs. Well, he's on
Speaker 1: the first season with a brand new coach the Chargers. Inexplicably,
Speaker 1: if we're being honest, the Chargers inexplicably went eleven and
Speaker 1: six this year. Nobody thought that that was going on. Nobody,
Speaker 1: And you look at their offensive weapons. They got JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins and Gus Edwards at running back. Those are two
Speaker 1: decent backs, neither one of them special. And your best
Speaker 1: wide receiver is a rookie in lab McConkie. Yes he's good,
Speaker 1: Yes he had a great game nine for one ninety
Speaker 1: seven and a touchdown. But that's all you got. A
Speaker 1: slot guy, that's what you got because Quinton Johnston, former
Speaker 1: first round pick out of TCU, has not been good.
Speaker 1: DJ Chark has just been okay. Will Disley's been cool,
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing? So, yes, this is Jim
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's first year. They were getting by this year on
Speaker 1: playing on, like on being scrappy, like damn near like
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's second year with the Lions. They pull you
Speaker 1: down and then they beat you. They drag you down
Speaker 1: in the mud and then they beat you. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what this Chargers team did. So the idea that Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert somehow sucks that he's not a good quarterback, social
Speaker 1: media quarterback, all of this stuff in between it is
Speaker 1: absolute nonsense. Now, year two when the Chargers re up
Speaker 1: their their wide receiver core because they have to this offseason.
Speaker 1: If they go next year and they lose in the
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs and Justin Herbert has a
Speaker 1: has a you know, a bad game, then then yes,
Speaker 1: that's something to talk about. But Herbert finished fourteen for
Speaker 1: thirty two, which is below fifty percent, two hundred and
Speaker 1: forty two yards, one touchdown, four picks. Two of the
Speaker 1: picks were his fault. Twoitte picks were not his fault,
Speaker 1: but the quarterback gets charged with all four. But let's
Speaker 1: be nuanced in the situation if you're not putting together
Speaker 1: because it number one of it is hard to win
Speaker 1: in the NFL playoffs hard. The better teams almost always
Speaker 1: win because they're well coached. That's how they got to
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But the more talented teams typically win playoff games,
Speaker 1: especially in the earlier rounds. So let's not make a mistake,
Speaker 1: and let's actually judge Justin Herbert on what the dude
Speaker 1: has done, Like we did thirty eight hundred yards, twenty
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, three picks with this wide receiver corps. Oh
Speaker 1: and you know, oh my god, I can't believe he's
Speaker 1: doing it. So what did you expect with the playoffs?
Speaker 1: I mean, like, let's be honest, did we expect the
Speaker 1: Chargers to end up in the AFC Championship game after
Speaker 1: watching them this season? No? So why then attack a player,
Speaker 1: call them a social media quarterback because you're looking for clicks.
Speaker 1: This is engagement bait and we see it for what
Speaker 1: it is. All right. Oh, the last thing that we
Speaker 1: got to talk about is the La fires. And I'm
Speaker 1: here in La so obviously I got a first hand
Speaker 1: seat at what's going on. And yes, it is rough
Speaker 1: out here, but let's dispel a few myths and narratives.
Speaker 1: Number One, the whole city is not on fire, despite
Speaker 1: what you're seeing on the news. The whole city is
Speaker 1: not on fire. Are there two very significant fires that
Speaker 1: have happened. Yes, the Eating fire out in Altadena, Pasadena,
Speaker 1: which has destroyed thousands of structures and people's homes, businesses,
Speaker 1: everything in between, and the Palisades fire, and both of
Speaker 1: them are still raging, so yes, majorly affected. Then there
Speaker 1: was a fire in Hollywood that burned up a couple
Speaker 1: structures too. They were able to get that one under control.
Speaker 1: The one that was close by me the Kenneth fire,
Speaker 1: they were able to get that under control. So Number one,
Speaker 1: want to give credit to our fire department. Want to
Speaker 1: give credit to the inmates who are out here fighting
Speaker 1: these fires, because there are a large portion of the
Speaker 1: firefighters are inmates working for a dollar a day everything else,
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to get time off and have
Speaker 1: a career when they come out and everything else. So
Speaker 1: number one, despite what the media tells, you know, the
Speaker 1: city is not on fire. This is an interesting concept
Speaker 1: because half the city is operating like normal, like businesses going,
Speaker 1: people are going out to go eat all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: But then you have another quarter of the population who
Speaker 1: is impacted by the fire, whether it's close to them,
Speaker 1: whether they have been evacuated where they're constantly feeling the
Speaker 1: stress of the evacuation and everything else. And so that's
Speaker 1: a quarter of the population, like people who are living
Speaker 1: under this stress with their kids out of school and
Speaker 1: everything else. And then you have another quarter of the
Speaker 1: population who has directly been impacted by their house burned down,
Speaker 1: that happened to their family, something like that. So the
Speaker 1: entire city is not impacted. There are certain pockets of
Speaker 1: areas that have been dramatically impacted and life has come
Speaker 1: to a grinding halt there. And it has even moved
Speaker 1: the NFL game this Yeah, it also moved an NFL
Speaker 1: playoff game which is gonna happen tonight where you have
Speaker 1: the vikings and the rams, which was supposed to happen
Speaker 1: at so far, but then they moved it down to Glendale,
Speaker 1: Arizona instead. I probably would have liked to see him
Speaker 1: go to Vegas because that probably feels a little bit closer.
Speaker 1: But anyways, so the games in Glendale, Arizona instead, and
Speaker 1: ironically it's at State Farm of Stadium, where a State
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium where just so happens to be one of
Speaker 1: the companies that has dropped a lot of people's fire
Speaker 1: insurance out here in California. But that leads to the
Speaker 1: second point. You've had everybody from President Trump to people
Speaker 1: who are Democrats, Republicans, everybody in between, criticizing Karen Bass,
Speaker 1: criticizing Gavin News everything else. There is fair blame to
Speaker 1: go around to a lot of people for things that
Speaker 1: have happened. But let's clear a few things up. Number One,
Speaker 1: these are not wildfires like you would typically see in
Speaker 1: the summertime here where like the where the the shrubbery
Speaker 1: wasn't cleaned and everything else I can attest to, at
Speaker 1: least where I live at the fire departments have been
Speaker 1: mad vigilant about brush clearance on people's houses. I gotta
Speaker 1: notice about it. My neighbor got a huge fine about it.
Speaker 1: So there have been some things, but like, can we
Speaker 1: please stop? Can we please stop all the blaming and
Speaker 1: and all of that until after the disaster is over.
Speaker 1: Until after it's over. It'd be like your kid falling,
Speaker 1: falling down getting hurt, and then everybody been and while
Speaker 1: you guys are driving to the hospital and your kids
Speaker 1: in surgery, and everybody's like, this is your fault and
Speaker 1: this man, let's worry about all of that after So, yes,
Speaker 1: is there blame to go around? Am I happy with
Speaker 1: the situation? I no, But let's unpack all of this
Speaker 1: because what happens is is when you have the leadership
Speaker 1: who is in charge, and people are throwing arrows darts
Speaker 1: and blaming them for everything that has happened. Now that
Speaker 1: compromises your decision making because now you know the whole
Speaker 1: world is looking and now it's like, oh, okay, hold up,
Speaker 1: how is this decision going to play publicly versus what
Speaker 1: is the right thing? That's the difference, because sometimes it's
Speaker 1: leaders you have to make unpopular decisions that turn out
Speaker 1: to be right later, but it may not play well publicly,
Speaker 1: especially when you're under this much scrutiny and when people
Speaker 1: are calling for you to get recalled as the governor
Speaker 1: and everything else, impeached and everything in between. So that's
Speaker 1: the part I don't like is, yes, our leadership should
Speaker 1: be under significant pressure because they are responsible to the
Speaker 1: people who voted them in. But also, let's play the
Speaker 1: blame game after How about that? Does that make sense
Speaker 1: to anybody except for me? And yeah, you guys, this
Speaker 1: is the Unafraid Show Daily Live. I appreciate your time,
Speaker 1: appreciate your energy. We will be back tomorrow, so make
Speaker 1: sure that you tune in Monday through Thursday, here, on
Speaker 1: Twitter or YouTube, everywhere in between. Peace Autum,
