WEBVTT - "The Big Guy" - January 8th, Hour 3 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.519 Stay right here for our final news roundup and information Overload. 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:07.200 Right News round Up, Information Overload. I were toll free 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.520 on numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.240 you want to be a part of the program. Before 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.120 we talked to our friend Miranda Devine about the bidens, 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.480 about the sabotage on the way out the door erased 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.560 meuse and Paul having showing the most voters think that 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.400 Joe Biden will go down as one of the worst 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.479 presidents in American history. And you know, I noticed he 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.360 didn't show up in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. I 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.639 noticed he didn't show up. And he's Palestine in Ohio 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.800 after that train wreck. But he's out there with his buddy, 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:46.080 his biggest champion, Gavin Newsom, with these California wildfires going on. 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.440 I'm not saying it's inappropriate for him to be there, 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:50.840 but it would have been appropriate for him to pay 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.200 attention to the people that have been freezing to death, 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.760 living intense But he knows a thing or two about 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:04.880 wildfires and bad forestry because unfortunately Australia practices this, you know, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.600 the same and as the same insanity, this unwillingness to 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.880 have controlled burns. This unwillingness to clear out a lot 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.479 of the the materials that are likely to cause these 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.280 wildfires and to cause them to become bigger than they are. 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.320 We're watching the disaster unfolding in California, you know, the 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.480 Pacific Palisades on down and up and around, and a 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.160 lot of people losing their homes. It's heartbreaking to watch. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.760 Miranda Divine, author of The Big Guy, How a President 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.399 and his son sold out America is back. Miranda, you 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.840 know a thing or two about forest fires and the 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.560 lack of the science of forestry. It is a science. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.640 There is a way to prevent forest fires, you know, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:45.679 to quote Smokey the. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:51.000 Bear, absolutely, and California has made the decision not to 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.480 do the work the management of its forests that it 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.720 should have done to reduce the severity of these routine, 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.080 regular wild fires. They are going to happen, that is nature. 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.200 But the only reason that it's turned into this absolutely 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:12.359 deadly conflagration is because, just as Donald Trump told Gavin 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.919 Newsom back in twenty eighteen, there is too much dry 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.640 kindling in the forest. They have not done the proper 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:26.080 hazard management. You do regular you know, low energy fires 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.600 to make sure that you fin it out and so 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.280 that there is no fuel for these fires when they 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.600 inevitably break out. And instead what California has done, which 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.680 Australia did the same thing. It's this green ideology driving it. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.840 They put all their eggs in the fire suppression basket. 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.520 And we have seen over the last twenty four hours, 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.760 no matter how good and brave your firefighters are, no 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.680 matter how good your equipment, you cannot put out the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.040 fires once they get into this insane temperature. 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.720 Well, they have a problem, and that what we've discovered 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.000 is that their LA firefighters are at their wits end 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.720 because of all the broken fire hydrants that are that 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.080 have no water in them and haven't been working for 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.840 some time. There's also the issue of the mayor of 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:20.519 La slashing the firefighter's budget by seventeen million dollars only 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.400 months before the city went up in flames. Add to 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.720 that that the mayor isn't even in town. The mayor 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.200 is in Ghana and has made no effort to get 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.840 back to Los Angeles. Then you had DEI, which Adam 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:37.240 Carolla effectively testified to Congress about. But you know, all 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.600 of this combined together, the you know, why not embrace 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:45.200 controlled burns. Why not embrace the science of forestry. You know, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.720 why not remove the brush that, as you rightly point out, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.000 as the kindling for these fires that allows it to 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.280 burn the way it does. You know, you can also 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.600 clear out, you know, certain areas and create barriers so 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.640 that when even Santa Anna wins, which can go as 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.920 high as eighty plus miles per hour, you know, are 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.040 pushing the fire in directions all over the place where 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.160 you literally have you know, an area where you can 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:19.440 stop a fire, fire, fire fire from spreading. And yet 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.760 all of this is rejected because of you know, endangered species, 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.719 environmental radicalism exactly. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.560 And their excuse is they say, oh, it's not our 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:33.960 fauld it's not management, it's climate change. That's always their excuse. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.320 And so they double down, and you know, this was 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.239 easily preventable, and that every single person who has lost 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.720 property should be suing the state of California. Donald Trump 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.000 in twenty eighteen and his Interior secretary at the time, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:54.720 Ryan Zinc, pointed out that the green mentality had caused 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.159 California's conflagrations. Then back in twenty eighteen, when it was 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.560 also a desire and Donald Trump said there's no reason 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.839 for these deadly and costly forest fires in California except 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.640 that forest management is so poor. What happens, Ryan Zinc 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.520 gets thrown out on some bogus corruption scandal and then 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.440 because he'd was Green Enemy number one of course, and 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.159 Gavin Newsom and co. Just completely ignored Donald Trump. You 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.279 add to that what you just mentioned about the incompetence 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:32.640 of local government, Karen Bass being a perfect example. Unbelievable 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:37.200 that she's off holidaying in Garner at taxpayer expense instead 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.160 of being back with the people of La and you know, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.360 to also apologize and make amends for her terrible water 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.159 management as well as you mentioned those fire hudrants cracked 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.200 and broken. How on earth they expect firefighters who are 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:59.760 under siege from this local government from the Democrats treated 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.120 like like I mean, you see it in New York 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:08.240 with the DEI nonsense with the fire department. DEI is 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.040 like a toxic poison that has gone through every single 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.520 institution and it is rendering them incompetent. You're seeing that 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.720 in La with the firefighting. I'm not saying they're actual firefighters, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.760 but their numbers have been depleted. Thanks to DEI. Their 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.800 competence has been depleted, and then they're not able to 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.320 access water. You compound that with this green ideology, with 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.800 all the forests being left untouched because of you know, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.640 whatever species. How do you think the endangered species are 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:45.480 going right now? As this deadly wildfire burns through, they 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.359 can't run away from it. It's just too hot. So 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.880 they are extinguished like the houses of those poor people. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.680 You reference Donald Trump twice in twenty eighteen out in California, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:02.080 warning that for that fires can be prevented. And here's 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.080 what he said back in twenty eighteen. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.200 Cleaned out and protected. You've got to take care of 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.080 the floors, you know, the floors of the forest very important. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.600 You look at other countries where they do it differently, 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.120 and it's a whole different story. I was with the 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.000 president of Finland and he said, we have much different 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.280 We're a forest nation. He called it a forest nation. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.520 And they spent a lot of time on raking and 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.239 cleaning and doing things and they don't have any problem. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.040 And what it is, it's a very small problem. So 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.440 I know everybody's looking at that to that end, and 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:40.160 it's going to. 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.000 Work out well. 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.080 President Trump was right, is right, it's still right today 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:49.520 and beyond the broken fire hydrants and the mayor missing 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.520 in action, you'll love this. We did a little did 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.080 a little research and while she's out, you know, cutting 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.280 the budget of the fire department, and you know, she 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.520 somehow managed to find hundreds of millions of dollars for 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.440 quote green energy conversion at the Port of Los Angeles. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.040 The headline Port of Los Angeles awarded four hundred and 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.679 twelve million dollars in a grand from the US EPA 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:23.560 for zero emissions transformation and anyway, they give a big 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.400 thank you, et cetera, et cetera. The port, the private 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.080 sector partners will match the EPA grant. So the total 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.320 amount of money they spent on turning the Port of 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.160 Los Angeles green was six hundred and forty four million 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.880 dollars in. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, they don't have fire 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.680 hydrants that work, they don't have a mayor that's in town. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:49.360 They do zero science of forestry, They don't clear out 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.280 any of the kindling, any of the brush. They do 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.079 do no controlled burns. And what we're supposed to be 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.280 and cut the firefighter's budget and we're supposed to be 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.760 surprised that this happens. I don't think so. I think 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.920 this is very predictable. Sadly, am I wrong, Miranda. 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.680 No, It's utterly predictable and very sad that they don't 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.320 learn the lesson. This has a lesson that period every 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.480 five or six years, as the brush grows up, California 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.360 is going to get another wildfire. And you know, as 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.320 bad as it gets, it had a you know, they 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.560 have all sorts of excuses. It doesn't matter how dry 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.480 you winter is. If you have gotten rid of the kindling, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.000 you're not going to have these problems. And the great 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.719 irony is all the greenies that have created this problem. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.319 We are now the greenhouse gases that are being spewed 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.760 into the atmosphere from these wildfires are way more than 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.319 any of the greenhouse gases that might be spent at 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.120 the Port of Los Angeles. That they're going to spend 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.920 half a billion dollars trying to get to zero missions, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:57.640 good luck with that. 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.720 Unbelievable. It's really sad, and I guess this is going 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.479 to continue because it looks like, you know, post Gavenussom, 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.280 it looks like the leading contender is going to be 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.280 Kamala Harris. Do you think she has any desire to 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:14.319 adopt any common sense measures that would prevent these forest fires? 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:15.480 Sean No. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.040 And that's the tragedy is that you know, there is 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.680 no common sense in today's Democrats because they are just 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.720 so bound up with ideology. There's the odd person like 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.679 John Fedterman who still has common sense, but really that's 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.440 Donald Trump is all about common sense, and that's why 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.319 he's able to come to solutions to problems that seem 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:42.760 intractable when they're all bound up with this crazy thinking 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.720 that you get from the left, which is everything but 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.920 the truth. The truth is pretty simple, and yet they 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.480 make it complicated by talking about climate change and greenhouse 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.720 gas blah blah, as if that makes any difference to 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.720 the fact that nature is going to burn and it's 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.800 going to burn whatever is in its path. So if 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.840 you leave dry kindling in its path, of course it's 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.599 going to burn really hot and it will burn the 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.520 houses in its way. And if you don't have the 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.040 water from your broken fire hydrants to put it out, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.160 well it's just going to keep on burning. So it's 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.280 so obvious, it's so common sense. You I all your 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.600 listeners know it. Donald Trump knows it. But for some reason, 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.240 these Democrats in power seem to have polluted their brain 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.520 so that they can no longer think clearly. They're so 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:43.160 clouded by bizarre ideologies that are all about gaining more 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.760 power for themselves, and that they have been very competent 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.240 at And you can see with California, like New York, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:57.520 there are one party states and one party cities. And unfortunately, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.400 you look at LA and you look at New York 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.240 and Chicago and all these Democrats cities and how they 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.280 are just falling apart. Crime is rampant, and yet we're 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.560 told every day, oh, there's no problem. We're told by 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.880 New York Governor Kathy Hochel that the subways are safe 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.520 on the very day that a woman gets burned alive. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.480 In a couple of days before, another man gets shoved 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.199 in front of a subway car. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.480 So there, look at this guy that had been arrested 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.559 eighty seven times stabbing two people. I mean, look, there 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.200 is no law in order in New York City anymore. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.160 It's non existent. The non these no bare laws or insanity. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.000 They apply to everybody pretty much, but Donald Trump, who 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.480 they're still trying to go after and still want a 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.520 sentence on Friday, which is insanity. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.880 Also, yes, but they will tell you, these Democrats that 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.959 it's the safest big city in the country, that in 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.200 la They will tell you that everything's working fine, and 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.000 that it's climate change that is the problem of the wildfire. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.280 They pretend that the homeless problem is somehow the problem 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:09.839 of I don't know, an old Republican administration that didn't 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.679 give enough money. Doesn't matter how much money you put 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.760 at homelessness. You have people who are mentally ill and 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.880 addicted to drugs, and they need some sort of management. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.600 They can't be left down on the streets to become 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:28.120 victims and to become victimizers. And this is again a 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.920 problem of no common sense in the management of our 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.480 cities and our states. And that is purely and simply 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.840 a product of the Democratic Party and the left. I 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:44.440 don't know why they think that it is in their 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.960 best interests to continue like this, but obviously they've managed 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.800 to keep power for many decades, so maybe they just 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.400 don't care. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.400 Maybe they're losing it. Will Joe Biden go down on 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:01.320 history as one of the worst presidents ever? One Number two? 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.680 Will Joe Biden and Hunter Ever and this family ever 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:10.880 be held accountable for selling access and be brought to 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.480 trial on charges. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.560 Look, I'm very glad that people are finally seeing the 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.360 true colors of Joe Biden now that he's out of 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.880 office and only has another three weeks left. He's really 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.440 showing who he is, and that he's a nasty, vituperative man, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.400 boastful and is. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.720 Pardoning, vindictive, angry, bitter. Yeah, I only have a few seconds. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.000 Will he be held accountable? 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.320 I doubt it. I mean he's eighty two years old. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.560 Robert Hurd, the Special Counsel, said that no jury would 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:51.280 convict him because of his poor memory. Hunter Biden, I 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.840 think probably won't be either. I mean, his father's pardoned 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.360 him fourteen years back, and I know that he will 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:04.000 definitely be pardoning his rather Jim Biden before January twenty Yeah. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.680 No doubt. And then watch for Liz Cheney, and watch 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.800 for Anthony Fauci, and watch for Benny Thompson. It's all 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.760 coming anyway, Miranda. I wish we had more time. We 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.040 appreciate you being with us. Our prayers do go out 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.560 to the people of California, all right. Twenty five now 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.680 till the top of the hour, eight hundred and ninety 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.120 four one. Sean, if you want to be a part 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.600 of the program, if you listen to this program, you 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.800 know that I love to cook. I've loved it ever 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.720 since I was a cook in a restaurant when I 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.000 was only thirteen years old. 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:30.280 Yep. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.520 And by the way, I was doing real food, I 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:38.960 mean seafood, fra diablo and shrim scambi and bett and 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:44.720 chini alfredo and stuff, lobsters and steaks and burgers, and 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.920 it was a great, great kind of published type of menu. 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.400 But it taught me not only how to cook, but 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.760 it gave me a passion for cooking. And my passion 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.280 has not waned at all.

Today, we have Adam Carolla 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.119 on Hannity tonight nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:42.200 Very interesting video is emerged of him that has gone 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:47.040 pretty mainstream. He and I never knew this about him. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.520 I find him a very interesting guy, smart guy, funny guy. 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:57.240 He's iconoclastic, he's irreverent. He's not politically correct, he's not 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.879 woke anyway. He once applied to be a firefighter in 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:06.080 LA and he gave testimony before Congress. I believe that 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.600 he had to wait seven years to get a callback 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:13.840 for an exam because of the issue of DEI, and 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:14.760 this is what he said. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.200 I graduated North hollywod High with a one point seven GPA. 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.639 I could not find a job. I walked to a 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.600 fire station in North Hollywood. I was nineteen. I was 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.440 living in the garage of my family home. My mom 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.160 was on welfare and food stamps. And I said, can 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.720 I get a job as a fireman? And they said no, 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.800 because you're not black, Hispanic or a woman. We'll see 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.800 in about seven years. And I went to a construction 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.480 site in Dug Ditches and picked up garbage for the 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.440 next seven years. I got a letter in the mail 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.720 sent to my father's house saying, your time has come 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.960 to do the written exam for the LA Fire Department. 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.840 I took it and I was standing in line and 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.879 I had a young woman of color standing behind me 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.440 line and I said, just out of curiosity, when did 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.240 you sign up to become a fire man? Because I 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.080 did it or a person seven years ago. And she 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.879 said Wednesday, that is an example of my white privilege. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.200 Now, there's a lot of issues that have come into 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.880 play here. That's one of them. But then we have 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.919 firefighters running out of water. We have the LA Mayor 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.679 is in Ghana and has not flown back to Los Angeles. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:27.639 The LA Mayor had cut funding for the LA Fire 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:32.679 Department only months before this latest burn. There is no 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.160 science of forestry for the most part, that is used 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.959 out in California, in large part because of their adherence 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.639 to environmental radicalism. California firefighters are running out of water. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.720 They're having problems because a lot of these these hydrants 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:53.120 are bone dry. And how that happened, there's no explanation 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.760 for it. The water supply is just not there. They 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.520 hadn't made plans for this. There is no water in 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.159 the fire hydrants. They don't work. And a lot of 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.480 this was predicted even and I played it earlier in 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.320 the program. I won't play it now by by Donald Trump. 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:12.280 The science of forestry is real. You can prevent forest 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.600 fires if you if you take the time and put 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.760 the money in the effort and the resources towards it. 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.320 You have nearly three hundred thousand California Power customers left 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.800 in the dark as of yesterday morning, a lot more 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:33.000 as of today. And anyway, during the press conference, you 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.680 have their chief engineer, you know, spoke to confirming demand 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.560 for water is hampered by the ability to refill the 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.520 tanks on the hillsides. But that's this is all, you know, 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:48.240 an excuse. You know, why aren't they practicing safe forestry 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.240 out in California? And it makes no sense. Why aren't 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.960 they having controlled burns? Why is that? Effective smoke and 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:02.280 burn management requires appropriate planning And it's something that with 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.240 the weather out in California and the amount of droughts 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.680 they have out in California, should be basic and should 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.800 be fundamental. Daniel Cameron, who's going to be joining us 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.800 in a second as the former Kentucky Attorney General now 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:19.359 CEO of the seventeen ninety two Exchange. Anyway, he talks 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.679 about the DEI aspect of this. This is exactly what 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.800 Adam Carolla is talking about. And he says, you know, 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.200 programs like DEI are on death watch. Listen, the big 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.600 question is with Trump coming in as Deidad forever, is 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:34.680 this just a time out? 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.080 Well, Jackie David, thank you guys for having me on. 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:44.000 ESG and DEI are on deathwatch. As we know, President 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:47.919 Trump is certainly going to make sure that his administration 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.720 gets out of the quota business and gets focused on 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.600 making sure that our corporations are about productivity. 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.880 A lot of big companies from McDonald's and let's see 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.760 and Ford Motor Company. I mean, many of them have 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:10.199 suspended their participation in these programs because of the backlash 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:12.840 that has occurred as a result of it. But anyway, 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.360 Daniel Cameron joins us. Now, how do you explain what 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:19.679 Adam Carolla testified to there that he waited seven years 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.440 and that he goes in and he meets somebody and 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.160 asked them, well when did you apply. I applied seven 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.520 years ago, and they said, well, I applied last Wednesday. 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:29.359 How do you explain that? 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.360 Well, Sean first, thanks for having me on to talk 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:36.919 to you and your listeners. Look, this is the quintessential 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.240 problem that we have with DII programs. They essentially have 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:45.359 run amok, such that instead of getting quality people in 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.560 as soon as you can, based on merit and based 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.560 on passion and desire and willingness to do the job, 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:55.520 you've got quotas in place, and those simply do not. 0:22:56.160 --> 0:23:00.720 They do a disservice to not only a small communities 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.240 that need good firefighters, need good first responders to help 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:09.800 in these particular instances with what's happening out in California, 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.720 and if you see other challenges that exist across our country, 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:18.280 but it also demonstrates the fact that the far left 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:22.520 has entrenched themselves in too many areas of our lives. 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:27.920 They've entrenched themselves in our corporate community, They've entrenched theirselves 0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.920 in our agencies and in the federal government. But again 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.600 with a new administration in the form of President Donald J. Trump, 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:36.440 I think we're going to see a lot of this 0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.560 go away. We're going to see a reduction in this 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:42.920 idea of quotas. And to your point, I mean, we've 0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:46.280 seen a lot of iconic brands, whether it's Walmart, whether 0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:49.800 it's McDonald's, whether it's Ford, whether it's Lows, that have 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.080 made a decision that they're going to move back to 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:57.040 sanity and focus on those key words that I referenced earlier, merit, 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:01.600 excellence and intelligence. That's how we need to run our businesses. 0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:04.320 That's how we need to run the federal government. That's 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:08.439 why President Trump is bringing in Elon Musk and they Ronaswami, 0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:12.240 because they both know that to get to a better 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:17.560 outcome and more efficiency and proficiency within government, you got 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:20.280 to focus on merit, excellence and intelligence. I'm excited to 0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.280 see it. It's unfortunate that Adam wasn't able to get 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.600 that job, but you know, obviously I think he's done 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:26.520
