00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: T I F E, L Steveh, Nicholason Company Incorporated Member

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: s I p C and n Y s E. The

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: rich are under attack again. This time it's because some

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: well off California homeowners dared to hire private firefighters to

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: keep their homes from being destroyed during the latest wildfires. Now,

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: despite what the drive by media is saying, this is

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: not something new. Ten years ago, insurance companies began offering

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: homeowners an option to have dedicated firefighters protect their homes

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: for price, and it was a win win. The homeowners

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: felt safer and the insurers minimize their risk. And these

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: policies are not just offered to rich homeowners. A lot

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: of middle class homeowners buy them as well. But the

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: media narrative is that rich California homeowners, including celebrities, saved

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: their homes with private firefighters while the poor were burned out.

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: The media also claims that the private forces supposedly don't

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: cooperate with the government hired firefighters, all of which misses

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: the real point. In California, the biggest fire risk comes

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: from elected liberal Democrats and their radical environmentalist wacko policies

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: who refused to manage the forests and get rid of

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: the kindling. The citizens are realized this, have wisely taken responsibility,

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: and they're paying for it themselves, and that somehow is

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: not fair.
