1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: The rich are under attack again. This time it's because

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: some well off California homeowners dared to hire private firefighters

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: to keep their homes from being destroyed during the latest wildfires. Now,

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: despite what the drive by media is saying, this is

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: not something new. Ten years ago, insurance companies began offering

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: homeowners an option to have dedicated firefighters protect their homes

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: for price, and it was a win win. The homeowners

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: felt safer and the insurers minimize their risk. And these

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: policies are not just offered to rich homeowners. A lot

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: of middle class homeowners buy them as well. But the

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: media narrative is that rich California homeowners, including celebrities, saved

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: their homes with private firefighters while the poor were burned out.

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: The media also claims that the private forces supposedly don't

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: cooperate with the government hired firefighters, all of which misses

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: the real point in Cali forn You the biggest fire

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: risk comes from elected liberal Democrats and their radical environmentalist

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: wacko policies who refuse to manage the forests and get

18
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: rid of the kindling. The citizens are realized this, have

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: wisely taken responsibility and they're paying for it themselves, and

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: that somehow is not fair
