  Speaker 1: So you've got to put on the little live stream thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I use stream yard to get it out to all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the platforms, and also on x you got to put
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: some kind of a headline for your live stream in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the podcast what it becomes. And I usually try to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: just like list out all this crap we're going to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: talk about today, and you know how you can make
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: your voice heard about it, and you know how you
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: convent about stuff. The only thing I could think of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: as of last night watching these fires in California and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: into this morning, is just one simple thing, Los Angeles,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the deadly cost of incompetence, because that's what it all
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: comes down to, That's what it is. It's completely and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: totally incompetent, and already the weasels responsible for this incompetence,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: for this this deadly incompetence, and the price, the price
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of it to get exposed a great American city like
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, California. That was the price to finally wake up.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: If we do I think we do that losing Los
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Angeles and it'll rebuild, but it's gonna take years. And
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: already people are flooding out of there. Will they go back?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You don't. Let's say, you're in Pasadena, California, right, you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: know are rich, You're not a celebrity. And by the way,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: how about all these celebrities right, oh, the celebrities that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: lost their homes and restaurants and clubs. Who the hell
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: cares too much of that? And I get that they
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: get the attention because they have big social media accounts
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and everything else. Who the hell cares? Let's care about
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the regular people, many of whom let's not forget about this.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: That's another element. Put that on our list of incompetence,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: many of whom don't have fire insurance because the state
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of California ran the companies away. They just left, State
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Farm left. They just did No, that's their fault as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: well as in the state's fault. But there's another one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to add to the list. There's another one. So the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: regular people that lost their homes. You think they're going,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: but there's nothing to come back to. You know, what
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: are they going to do? So they're going somewhere. So
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we always ask like, what do you do? What do
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we all do? And I've already heard this too. Well.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I live in Texas, I live in Arizona, I live
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in California. I live in Florida. I live in New Hampshire.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do? Here's what you do.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You make sure after all of this that this crap,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that the deadly incompetence doesn't creep into your community. That's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: what you do, because it's there. Trust me. This whole
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: crisis of incompetence in Los Angeles that has led to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the destruction of their city didn't start off this big
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: decades ago. Started small, like maybe in your community wherever
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you live, started small, and it grew and it got powerful,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Look where you are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: right now, at the cost of that great American city.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Look where it is. So what do you do? Is
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: what I try to do with this thing is always Yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the headlines of what's trending, But how
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do you make your voice heard about it? Right? That's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: all I try to do as a communication person and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: as a broadcaster. How do you get your voice heard
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: about these kinds of things that are trending. Some of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's fun, some of it's light hearted, some of it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the worst thing we've ever talked about, Like, like, la,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: how do you get your voice heard? Look to see
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: where this stuff is popping up in your community, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: make sure it stops right in its tracks. That's what
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you do. So that's what we're talking about today. So Aks,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you find a wicked radio. I wish it was lighter
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: hearted stuff, but it's too important not to talk about,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. We'll talk about these incompetent fools and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the cast of characters that led to this, and the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: policies that led to this. Thanks for finding us in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The live stream will live on here as as a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: replay on ACTS and YouTube. It's on Facebook now as
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: well in the audio podcast where you get those, it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: there as well. I guess we'll start with the update,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: so that that got even worse last night. Now you've
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: got to wonder, you know, how much of this is
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: arson as well? Right, because now you've got the Hollywood
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Hills fire, they say very as of I mean I
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: tried to look and I tried to look at a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: containment score, you know, a percentage. They're still talking like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: zero containment for the Palisades fire. And now you've got
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this Hollywood Hills fire. And how horribly symbolic is that too?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Do you see the Hollywood sign and the fire behind it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It looked like a movie, a horrible tragic movie last night.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: But you know, that's where we are. So that thing spread,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so more and more people out. There's more gridlock of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: people trying to get out of that town. Absolutely awful.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: But let's start with the cast of characters of fools.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the mayor of Los Angeles. Well, she
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: happened to be and I guess this part is really
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: her fault. She was on vacation or I don't know
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: what it was. She was in Africa. So she finally
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: made her way back yesterday. Now she was at her
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in Europe getting her connecting flight back to the States,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I guess, and a reporter from Sky News and good
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: for him, good for them asking the real questions asked her,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: some of the most directed questions I've ever heard of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: any elected official. I mean right there, right with a camera,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: microphone in her face, and she literally had no answers.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It was just silent the entire time. This is La
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Mayor Karen Bass getting questioned by Sky News yesterday, finally
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: on her way back to her city.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: department budget by millions of dollars. Mout of there. Wo
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: have you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to say to the citizens today.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'd play the rest of it for you and cut
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: off the clip there, But there's nothing to hear. Literally
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is she's standing there. You know, I guess waiting to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: board the plane that she's on the I guess the gate,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: getting ready to go into the tunnel to board the plane.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: She stood there for two minutes. I timed it two minutes,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: completely silent, with no answers. Won't talk to the press
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: unless it's a controlled press conference, makes her way back
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and updated the fine residence of her city.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I just actually added this. You got to laugh at
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: these situations. So she's up there, controlled press conference and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: she gives all the details and the update of what
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they're doing to try to stop it, and blah blah
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Listen to this. You want to talk
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: about incompetence, Here you go right now. If you need help.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Emergency information resources and shelter is available. All of this
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: can be found at URL Los Angeles.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Together is how we will get through this through the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: heroicism of our firefighters, the vigilant. Yeah, just go to URL.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You know what It led to this. She was trying
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to give out a website and she just gave out URL.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So probably this is the way this works. In her
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: notes from her press person it said all this information
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: is available at and there was probably a parentheses give
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: out URL. Because you're the mayor, you would figure it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: top of mind. It's like muscle memory to give out
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the city website for information, right. No, she actually says
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: go to URL. So there's a competent character number one,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: or at least top of the list. Now let's go
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to Gavin. Oh, Gavin Newsome, the governor in California, who,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: by the way, has had close to fifteen years in
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: leadership to try to get this done as governor and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: lieutenant governor for a long time as well. So all
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of this stuff, all of this incompetence of cleaning up
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the brush, making sure that the water reserves were full,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: fire mitigation, anything you could have stepped into that. But
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: they're so afraid of offending and driving away the eco
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: terrorists that he actually did nothing. And there he is,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he's then he's he's crying crocodile tears. He's looking at
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the city burned down, and there's Anderson Cooper, and here's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Anderson going, Oh, I hate to ask the question, but
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: President elect Trump is blaming you. Listen to this weasel
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and how he hides behind the criticism instead of taking responsibility.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I hates even ask this question, but the president elect
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: chose to attack you, blame you. Four days one can't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: even respond to it. I mean, it's uh. People are
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: literally flean.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: People have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, family
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: is completely torn asunder.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, church is burned down, right, this guy wanted to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: politicize it. Oh that's so, that's what it is. So
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: criticizing him. See, he doesn't want He wants to deflect
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and hide once again and blame everybody else. Won't take
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: any responsibility as the governor of that state. Not only
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: should he resign, as Trump is called for in a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: true social post, that Knewsom should be in jail. That
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: guy should be in jail for negligence, criminal, deadly negligence,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: for ignoring all these warning signs they've known, They've known
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for years, years and years that what has to be done.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: When was the last time when did you first start
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to hear ask you a question? Think about this. You know, California,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: if you know any Californians, it's such a big area,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you know. I know people that live in California, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: friends of mine that live in southern California have told me,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for a boy going on probably pretty close to fifteen years,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I've at least known about the fire danger that was there,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and people have told me they've just been lucky so far.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Is it someday? Someday it'll take some kind of fire
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like this with the exact wrong kind of wind, the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: exact wrong kind of spot, and the conditions that we
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: have right now in the city's going to burn down.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I've heard it for over a decade at least. Well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: here we are, it happened. So if regular people like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: us know that, you don't think officials like him like
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: he knew it but could have done something as lieutenant
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: governor for eight years and then governor nothing criminally negligent,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And now we'll blame everybody else around them that the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: weaseling has already begun from the weasels. They're listened to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: less now, for sure, absolutely, But again the takeaway is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to make sure that these weasels don't incorporate their way
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and weasel their way into your communities. Because they're there already.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: You got to make sure that they don't get power.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: There's newsome and we talked about this. So we've got
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: lack of fire mitigation. The eco terrorists have gained so
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: much power in a city like that that they have
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: forced the leadership of California not to do controlled burns.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: They won't do that because you know, some hedgehog or
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: something will get here. So they stopped the controlled burns
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the brush, the underbrush that's there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: More in that in a minute, you've got completing competence
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of just stupid people running that city in that state,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like those two mayor Bass and Gavenusom, Like we just played,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and now we've got to talk about maybe possibly the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: most deadly element of this entire thing. Now, the rank
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and file fire department of Los Angeles is fantastic people
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: just doing the absolute best they can. Right, They're regular folks,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: not the leadership, the regul firefighters brave people, first responders,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: but there's not enough of them. And they drove a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: lot of good people and sane voices away in the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Fire Department over the past five years. What
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: has happened in many communities throughout the country because you're
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: ridiculous DEI diversity, Equity and inclusion policies. Let's not forget
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: about the job. A lot of qualified, strong, common sense
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: voices left that department because you forced them to get
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a job and they didn't want to, and you threatened
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: their pensions and you threatened their jobs. So they just
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: left and went other places. And now you have this.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So let's go to the leadership of the LA Fire
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Department itself. Kristin Crowley is the LA Fire Department chief.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Here's a little expos a NBC did on her last
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: year talking about the importance of DEI Diversity and inclusion
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in her department. Here's what she's said, Sure, one that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity. People
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: ask me, well, what number are you looking for us?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking for a number is never enough. And
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there are a lot of people in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: LGBT community like her that are completely qualified and are
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: great and are smart in their common sense, not all
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of them, because what you do is you limit the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: talent pool, and you also drive out a lot of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: other qualified people. It's just another quota. It's just a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: different a quota from a different group of people. That's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: all it is. That's all DEI does. The joke is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: DEI should be die because people die when incompetence takes
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: place when you hire people because of their sexual orientation, gender,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: or skin color instead of their merit. If they are
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: all those things and they're qualified to do the job, great,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But when that becomes the priority, which is the absolute fact,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: which happens, this has happened. That's what DEI is. That's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: what you get. And by the way, the top leadership
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of the La Fire Department neither here nor there. I'll
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: just point out that they are all women. Her, her
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: assistant fire chief, and the chief of training. They're all women,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and they all happen to be lesbians. They just are.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just stating that as a fact. Does that happen
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: without DEI? I don't know. I'm not too sure sure,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: but that's a fact. Now, how long have we known
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: about the fire mitigation or lack thereof in California? Years?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I said, just personally, just personally, just hearing the stories
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: about it from people that live out there. At least
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it's got to be going on fifteen years. How long
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: have they been talking about this. Well, let's go to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: President Trump talking about it, and at the end of this,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you when he was saying this, President Trump
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: talking about California not being fire prepared before at a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: cabinet meeting. Here he is, and you guess when he said.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: There's no reason for those fires to be like they are.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: They're leaving them dirty. It's a disgraceful thing. Old trees
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: are sitting there, rotting and dry, and instead of cleaning
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it up, they don't touch them. They leave them and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: we ended up with these massive fires that were paying
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars for to fix, and the
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: destruction is incredible. So I think California ought to get
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: their act together and clean up their forests and manage
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: their forest because it's disgraceful.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: What an he guesses how long ago that was? Was
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that just the other day when he heard about the fires? Nope,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: take a guess when he said that six years ago?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Six years ago. Again, it's going off for decades. Everybody
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: knows this has been incompetent but six years ago he
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: said that to clean it up because they had that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: might have been the Malibu fire, I don't know, whatever
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it was. Did they listen, Did they clean up their
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: rack like you called for? Nope, absolutely not, because who
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: has the power the echo terrorists who wouldn't let them
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: clean up the brush fire? That's who did. And this
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: incompetent leadership from the state level, the city level, all
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of it, the crisis of incompetence, and the cost of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: waking up to this lost a great city like Los Angeles, California,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that'll rebuild, but that was the cost. All right, let's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: go to the current president for what a couple more days? Anyway,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a few more days President Biden was briefed. YEP, might
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: have seen this. He was briefed on the la situation.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Knew some there right beside him, giving him the detail
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: on what's going on and what we need. Right. Well,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Biden didn't tell you in this that we just sent
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: another four hundred million dollars to Ukraine. I guess that's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: neither here in her there. That was already earmarked for Ukraine.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But you think those people could have used it, People
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that don't have fire insurance yeah. Absolutely. And then after
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: being briefed before the press and a couple of vonlookers, Biden,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: who is an absolutely despicable human being, made it a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: point to announce that, well, he's got some good news.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Good news is.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It's okay everybody. I'm sorry you lost your home and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: your city's on fire, literally on fire. But he's going
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to be a great grandfather again. Right, that's important. Yeah,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that that's read the room, Joe. Yeah. Yeah. People are
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: losing their lives, but you're adding to yours. Is he
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: going to acknowledge this one, by the way, or is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: this going to be like the other one that he
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: refuses to acknowledge for political purposes? What an absolute total scumbag,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that's all he is. He's horrible. Don't ever ever in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the years going forward and when he finally dies and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they'll have some sort of memorial for Joe Biden and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: they'll try to paint him some sort of a good
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: human being. He is a despicable human being, an awful, awful,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: awful person. And there's your example right there. So incredibly clueless,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: they can't read the room, and so totally tone deaf
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: that he talks about the birth of his new great
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: granddaughter or whatever it is when he's talking about the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: fires in Los Angeles, California. Clueless, absolutely clueless. But that's
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: where we are. The deadly cost of incompetence in all
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: those areas. Let's just recap for a quick second, lack
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of fire and mitigation. They won't clear out the brush.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: They've been told for decades now to be able to
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: do that, but the echo terrorists have so much power
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that they were able to stop that from happening. That's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: why they can't do it, and then won't spend the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: money on it. Oh, by the way, they cut You
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: heard the Sky News reporter there, Karen Bass, the mayor
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, who's finally back in town. They cut
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: seven almost eighteen million dollars from the LA Fire Department
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: budget this year. It's close to twenty million dollars cut.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You think they could have used that. You know, you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: see some reports here saying and there are no firefighters
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to be seen, and they can't the ones that are
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: here can't get any water out of the hydrants. Well,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the water thing is because they have emptied the water
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for years. By the way, they're also saying this, don't
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: ever listen to the climate change. You know, climate crisis
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is being any kind of a reason for this, because
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it's not. They had two summers of record rainfall and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: all that water went away. This is documented. You can
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: look it up in twenty twenty three. In March of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, drought ridden California released twenty thousand cubic
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: feet per second, twenty thousand cubic feet of water per
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: second into the American River because they had no place
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to store it. Again, going back decades, telling them you
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: need to store a bunch of water in case of
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: fire like this capacity happens. Did they listen? Absolutely not.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The water went away. This isn't climate crisis, absolutely not.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Don't listen to that. So there's that as well. The
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: other factor of the DEI the die hiring and promoting
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and rewarding diversity and the color of your skin and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: your sexual orientation over competence. There's another reason. I would
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you like to be stuck in that department right, just
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: somebody trying to work out the last couple of years
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: of your of your contract before you get your pension.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: There's that as well. And this is this is another
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: thing too, And I think you heard a little bit
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of this. Another there's another area to blame media complicity
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: in this. And you heard a little bit with Anderson
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Cooper as he talked to Gavin Newsom on the street there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I hate to even mention this, but the President elect
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: is blaming you for this. Well yeah, yeah, no kidding
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: that everybody in the media knew about all of the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: warnings for California. Everybody knew about this. It did nothing.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It just covered for these Democrats, every single one of
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: them did for years. And they're still going to try
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: going to get pushed back on, but they're still going
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to try to blame everything else in the world. They'll
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: blame Trump for this, They'll blame a climate crisis for this,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: They'll blame lack of funds, they'll probably blame COVID for this.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Who the hell knows. Don't believe it, because just as
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: much as all of these other factors, the media is
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: just as much to blame for this crisis. This deadly
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: cost of incompetence of what we're seeing at the cost,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the deadly cost of Los Angeles, California because of these fires.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That's what's happening. That's why I call it the cost
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: of incompetence. So what do you do is I always
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: try to bring it to this. How do you okay,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this is what's trending, obviously the biggest story in the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: world right now. How do you get your voice heard?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the biggest takeaway and the most important
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: thing is don't let this creep into power in your community.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That's what you do, because it's there. I promise you
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: it's there. This didn't start as powerful, this incompetence didn't
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: start as powerful in California as it is right now.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It started small, started with some small probably Ivy League
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: lunatics pushing this stuff, the echo terrorists. They became more.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: You know, the environmentalists, by the way, are way more
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: powerful than we realized, way more. They run everything. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: think they're running the Democrat Party. It started small there
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and it grew into what you see right now. That's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: what it is. And it's in your I don't care
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: where you live, Texas, Georgia, California, Arizona, Massachusetts, Florida, anyway,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it's here. You just got it's just not as powerful yet,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and you have to speak up. And when you see
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: these policies creeping up all of us. It's on all
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of our shoulders to make sure it doesn't grow. That's
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: what we do. That's how we make our voices heard
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: because this can't ever be allowed to happen again. Where
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: all these people in California gonna go by the way Arizona, Texas, Florida,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And also don't let them vote in
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the same policies that led to Los Angeles. That's for
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: damn sure. All right, Just to lighten it up a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: quick second, I'm gonna be watching this just to take
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: my mind off this scrap. We've got a pretty good
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: football game on tonight, neither here nor there, and definitely
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: not the most important thing going on in the world
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: right now. Penn State Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: about seven thirty. Kickoff time for that. If you want
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to take your mind off this stuff, so check it out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: The deadly cost of incompetence. Don't let it come to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: your community. That's the main takeaway. I'm taking a grab
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: from anybody. That's the constant takeaway. X for finding me.
• 20:15

• 20:18
  Speaker 1: about that. How you can get your voices heard about it?
