0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>The rich are under attack again. This time it's because

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>some well off California homeowners dared to hire private firefighters

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep their homes from being destroyed during the latest wildfires. Now,

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>despite what the drive by media is saying, this is

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>not something new. Ten years ago, insurance companies began offering

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>homeowners an option to have dedicated firefighters protect their homes

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>for price, and it was a win win. The homeowners

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>felt safer and the insurers minimize their risk. And these

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>policies are not just offered to rich homeowners. A lot

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of middle class homeowners buy them as well. But the

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>media narrative is that rich California homeowners, including celebrities, saved

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>their homes with private firefighters while the poor were burned out.

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>The media also claims that the private forces supposedly don't

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>cooperate with the government hired firefighters, all of which misses

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the real point in Cali forn You the biggest fire

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>risk comes from elected liberal Democrats and their radical environmentalist

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>wacko policies who refuse to manage the forests and get

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>rid of the kindling. The citizens are realized this, have

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>wisely taken responsibility and they're paying for it themselves, and

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that somehow is not fair
