Oh 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.240 that reminds me. I'm very excited about this. I'm thinking 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:13.440 maybe our two. I've come across a new definition of 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:21.160 stupid that fascinates me. How do you praise if someone stupid? 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.520 I love that, and I know it sounds stupid in 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.480 and of itself in one way, but trust me when 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:31.000 I say, well, it's a thought provoking A mental framework 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.600 to put on human activity. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.240 It's the flip side of how do you assess if 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.800 someone smart, which is also very very difficult, and what 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.279 that means. Well, the only reason I brought up celebrity 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.400 and I would agree with you any any anybody or 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.720 outlet that tries to pretend it's a bigger deal if 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.279 Sylvester Stallone's home burns down than somebody else's. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.400 I don't, I don't know what that is. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.760 But indeed, anybody who pretends like it's a smaller deal 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.200 because it's quote unquote a bunch of rich people, right, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.760 you're an ass and I hate Oh that was too strong. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.040 I APOLOGI so at Halprin's point is they get a 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.520 lot of attention and if they are hell half no fury, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.800 like a homeless celebrity, they could drive the politics on this, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:08.840 no doubt about it. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.599 Oh well, there's the whole rich thing. Though. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.520 There is no doubt that if you got money you're 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:15.960 gonna have to be in a hotel for a couple 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.040 of weeks is different than if you don't got money. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.080 I mean, now, completely different world. And I just heard 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.760 the insurance Commissioner of California. Maybe this's just taken out 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.839 of context, and it doesn't sound as bad as it 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.800 seemed when it was played on NPR. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.080 I don't know if that was their point, but is the. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.400 Insurance commissioner saying and the last thing people should be 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.920 worrying about is insurance right now? You know, this is 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.240 the time to worry about your your your family and 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.160 whether you know everybody's safe. And I thought, okay, as 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.120 soon as I've counted my family and we're all here, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.159 my second thought is how am I going to pay 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:46.560 for all this? 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.440 That's my second thought. Yeah, yeah, I know. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.839 There was one point I think it was him, Laura 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.760 was trying to make that don't sign anything right now 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.479 because a lot of the insurance company. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.320 But here's here's settlement. I believe that. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:07.680 Oh my god, Yeah, I do not sign anything. Yeah, 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.240 but you might be in a situation where you got 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.679 no money. You're putting your whole family in a hotel 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.680 for the next week, and you're paying the bill tomorrow, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.680 and the insurance company's offering you checking you've got no 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.960 other money. I can see how it'd be very enticing. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:25.400 Right, absolutely, So, Yeah, it's nightmarish. And the competition for 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.919 hotel rooms and rental units of any sort has gone berserk, obviously, 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.679 with thousands of families homeless just trying to rent anything 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.960 at any terms, and rents their Skyrocketing's stawful. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.800 You wouldn't You didn't think that anywhere in the world. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.440 Some of the most well known iconic everybody's seen it, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.160 people travel from around the globe to witness its stuff could. 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.800 Be destroyed by mother nature like this, well and a fire. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.080 I do history tours everywhere I go, and I'm kind 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.279 of used to the old and then the Great Fire 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.200 of eighteen forty hit or whatever, and it, you know, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.280 torched the town. They had to rebuild, et cetera. And 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.159 every time I hear that, I think, thank God. We 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.160 live in the modern world, modern building materia, materials of 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.920 firefighting equipment, et cetera, et cetera, But no match for 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:18.640 a horrendous confluence of natural phenomenon in the phenomena in 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.960 the uh in the hills of California, and be utterly 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.840 incompetent leadership right for. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:29.560 Years and years, you combine a uh not normal one 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.120 hundred mile an hour wind gusts for several days in 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.200 a row with mismanagement, You got it. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.880 Well you got what you got, what you're seeing on 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:36.680 TV every night? 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.600 Well, yeah, in a helpful metaphor, might be because it 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:45.440 is absolutely true that the natural, the weather, you know, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:52.160 related situation is crazy, unfortunate and very very rare. 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:53.320 That is true. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.040 But it's like if I gamble and do drugs all 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.600 the time, I've spent my family, say I've lived a profligate, 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.240 indefensible lifestyle, and then I blow a tire and I 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:06.480 say to my wife. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.640 Or broke because I blew a tire? Is that my faults? Right? 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.600 No, that's the story of California is exactly. There's a 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.400 reason people are fleeing one of the most beautiful places 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.200 on earth by the hundreds of thousands. 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.040 Oh, I heard this stat Let me find this real 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.200 quick because I thought this was damned interesting about. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:26.960 So here it is. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.720 There are one hundred and seventy seven thousand taxpayers in 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.000 California that pay roughly half of all state taxes. 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:34.880 How many of. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.000 Their homes or businesses were the twelve thousand destroyed in 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.360 the fire? And do you think they're going to sit 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.920 around for the average of five years it takes to 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.400 get permits to rebuild and stay in the state. I 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.480 wonder about that, or at least in the area if 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.520 they were in before. Maybe maybe not. This is this 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.080 is a crowd for a lot of these people that 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.040 have options, and maybe. 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.320 Their best option isn't returning to the same spot. 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.320 The fallout will last for many, many years, and it's 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.040 worth mentioning, especially for folks around the country who are like, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.200 I get it, there's a fire in LA. This could 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:07.520 be the greatest natural disaster well, certainly in the top 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.320 couple in US his time. Absolutely up there with like 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.040 gigantic hurricanes. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.680 Cost wise, it definitely can be a Yeah, it's quite stunny. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:17.920 Well, I hadn't. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.400 Watched a lot of the videos in the last week 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.440 because I thought, you know, I've seen a lot of 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.360 really bad fires. I'm sure it looks a lot like that. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.320 I was watching a video last night during the one 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.680 hundred mile an hour winds. It looked like it was 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.600 CGI or something. It looked like something from a space movie. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.880 The way the fire hurricane blow us exploding down the street. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:36.760 It was crazy. 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.559 And as I heard some fire chief person somewhere yesterday say, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.920 it wouldn't have mattered if we had every truck in 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.240 the country here at points last week there was nothing 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.560 that could have been done with that fire in those winds. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.880 Right, Yeah, that is true, That's absolutely true. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.200 And it's also true that this will shine a light 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.439 on the horrifically unwise leaders California in LA for a 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.960 very very long time. We cannot let those who would 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:09.760 prefer sane governance not utterly idiotic, corrupt governance. And I'm 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.400 not saying that as some sort of hyperbolic talk show 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.960 host trying to be exciting. The depths of the incompetence 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.920 and dishonesty of government in California is it's difficult to 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.240 comprehend if you haven't lived it. But if this will 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.640 expose that, even if the one hundred mile per hour 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.640 gusts made it utterly unfightable, it's still worse. Pointing out 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.960 the question isn't would that particular house have burned down 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.920 anyway if Gavin Newsom were in a complete fraud? 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.280 That's not the question. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.840 God, I don't know who his body people are, and 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.800 we'll start the show officially, but dude, I think your 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.959 cool guy look does you more. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:50.520 Harm than good. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.440 The unbuttoned tight shirt, the super cool sunglasses, the slickback hair, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.120 I really think it's doing you more harm than good. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.960 I don't think you're getting the like Kennedy vibes like 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.280 you think you are.

Here's maybe an example of what Joe was 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:44.120 talking about. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:49.319 The house where the doors wrote light my fire burnt down, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.480 And that's point inter. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.920 Deeper.

Actually, in 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.520 my very quick perusal of his work. Here's here's his quote. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.760 We are living in an era of woke capitalism in 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.440 which companies pretend to care about social justice to sell 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.200 products to people who pretend to hate capitalism. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.959 That's like the Chris Rock bit. But Lululemon, we don't discriminate. 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.559 He discriminated against the poor. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.480 Living in an era of volk capitalism in which companies 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.520 pretend to care about social justice to sell products to 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.359 people who pretend to hate capitalism. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.240 Well said Clay mailbag. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.880 There's a mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.640 from Tom and SoCal guys. Time to take California back. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.280 No new reservoirs in decades, right generations, a water policy 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.560 that protects a series of species of smelt. Just wait 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.280 for the inevitable changes to water policy to help save 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:13.360 one bass. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.000 Oh, I get it, as in Karen, well, we'll play. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.320 We'll play some of the stuff from the fire chief 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.320 who get a couple interviews over the weekend. But she 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.120 since I don't remember the numbers, but this is close enough. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.200 Since the sixties, the population has expanded thirty times. We 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.680 have actually fewer firehouses, was one thing she said. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.680 Yeah, shocking, Marina and Sandiego writes, seems you missed a 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.840 good comment from your best buddy, Adam Carolla on gut 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:39.680 filed Wednesday night. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.400 Adam Corolla, Michael, we have any armstrong and gededdy. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.960 There he is, He said, it looks like there could 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.480 be over sixty thousand people would be homeless tonight due 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.840 to the fires, and he could almost guarantee that no 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.640 one would be sleeping under a freeway over passer behind 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.680 a dumpster. They're going to reach out to the network 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.200 of family and friends to help them, Greg added, Yet 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:02.320 not to people they stole from the get their drugs right. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.120 Housing is not the problem with the so called homeless problem. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:11.120 It's transient drug addicts moving along. 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.280 Darren Rights. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.080 After a football game today, I caught part of a 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.440 press conference where some government spokeshole was gushing about how 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.520 they're going to streamline the process to make it really 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.160 easy to get permits to rebuild after the fires, as 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.440 if admitting they could have been more efficient all along, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.640 but they just chose not to be as good luck. Hey, government, 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.680 here's a wild idea. How about you always try to 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.000 be streamlined inefficient the stuff you're deciding to do right 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.000 now to be more efficient, always do that. That's an 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.720 excellent point. I'm not going to pat you on the 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.840 back from momentarily deciding to suck less just because everybody 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:44.440 is watching. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.800 Well, said Darren. That's pretty good, thunder brother, love it. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.560 How about this Ryan in Houston, dear Big Freedom and 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.960 no Pie in twenty five? Uh no Pie, that's a 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.560 good nickname for you. 0:15:58.560 --> 0:15:59.720 Oh no Pie. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.640 Did Newsom and Warren as in Elizabeth really send their 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.080 followers to donate to Act effing Blue for donations for 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.520 the LA wildfire? How tone deaf could they be? Ryan 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.600 in Houston is a solid longtime correspondent. I thought, wait 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.200 what and I looked it up. Sure enough, Gavin Newsom 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:23.120 unleashed a new fact check website to combat misinformation, and 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.640 it's on holy cousin disinformation. And it turns out that 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.560 site has a big link to donate to Act Blue, 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.080 the Democratic Party fundraising giant. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.480 Wow awful. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.000 Finally, on a totally different topic, Joe Biden and Jill 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.360 Hating on Kamala at the funeral JT and livermore Right, So, 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.320 I don't get why Biden's upset with Kamala. If there's 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.440 one person who went above and beyond the call of duty, 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.920 literally the constitutional call of duty, to remove Biden from 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.240 the oval office, it would be Kamala. She had the 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.080 power and the constitutional mandate to remove Biden from the presidency, 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.920 but she never so much as hinted that it was 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:58.840 something she should do. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.760 Yeah, Joe Biden shouldn't be mad at her. Of all people, 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.280 Joe Biden given his final foreign policy speech today to 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.400 try to talk about all these accomplishments his life. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.000 We'll see how that goes and have the highlights. We 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:11.639 have time for it. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.000 Wow, if anybody was short on crap, you know what 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.480 we need, honeys, We'll just a little more crap. The 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.240 LA fire chief with a heckumited admission, gutsy admission on Friday. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.280 Maybe you missed, among other things, on the Waistay with 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:24.800 its Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.320 I just saw this fun fact on the TV, which 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:29.000 I happened to know. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.359 I've known since I was a kid. Stuck in my head, 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.640 how much does it gallon of water? Way worth knowing 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.000 in case you ever come up with a situation and 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.680 it's myself was fascinated by that very thing. Again, this 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.040 is a number that stuck in my head since I 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.760 was a kid, in case you have to carry a 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.600 five gallon bucket or something like that. Maybe that's why 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.520 I didn't remember, because I was regularly having to carry 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.840 buckets of water for various jobs. A gallon of water 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.520 weighs the same as the average human head, by the way, 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.080 eight pounds. I've never weighed my head now I don't 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.400 have to here, probably weighs a lesson. Yeah, I think 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.160 you do not have the average eman head. 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.399 Neither do I. We have above average heads. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:07.840 We're gonna talk about above average intelligence coming up a 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.360 little bit or below average intelligence? 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:10.120 I guess is that right? 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.000 Sort of don't jump the gun there, sir, What does 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:14.960 stupid mean? 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:16.840 So I want to play this one more time to 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:18.919 tease to next hour. I don't know if this is 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.080 below average intelligence, it's below average skills at dealing with 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.920 the crisis. Notice he doesn't say, yes, this is Gavin Newsom. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:27.760 Does the buck stop with you? 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.040 I mean, your governor of California, inviding it will be 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:32.320 the mayor of California. 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.880 We're all in this together.
