CA Fires: Newsom Blames Global Warming-and YOU! Biden Promises Full Aid from Tax Payers · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: As we are continuing to see the wildfires still burn
0:04
Speaker 1: in California, there is a new get out of jail
0:07
Speaker 1: free card that the Democrats are now using in California
0:12
Speaker 1: for their lack of competency, their lack of listening to
0:17
Speaker 1: the warnings that came from countless people that said that
0:21
Speaker 1: you guys are sitting on a ticking time bomb for
0:25
Speaker 1: exactly what happened to happen. And the get out of
0:28
Speaker 1: jail free card is a play out of the playbook
0:33
Speaker 1: of the Green New Deal. Anything you don't like, blame
0:37
Speaker 1: on global warming. That is exactly what we are now
0:41
Speaker 1: witnessing Democrats are now saying, and this is coming not
0:45
Speaker 1: just in California, but all over the country. They are
0:49
Speaker 1: telling you now that what you just witnessed in California
0:52
Speaker 1: or are watching right now is actually the fault of
0:55
Speaker 1: you for not buying into the Green New Deal into
0:58
Speaker 1: global warming. How far is this reaching from California all
1:02
Speaker 1: the way to the other side of the country. From
1:03
Speaker 1: Democratic Massachusett Senator Ed Markey ed has claimed that the
1:08
Speaker 1: Los Angeles fires are in fact the result of you
1:12
Speaker 1: and the climate change disaster that was stoked and they're
1:16
Speaker 1: blaming yeah you could guess this was actually very predictable
1:20
Speaker 1: Donald Trump for the fire in California. The Democrat trying
1:26
Speaker 1: to use this as a political issue in DC, saying
1:29
Speaker 1: that it's because of Donald Trump and the fact that
1:32
Speaker 1: he embraces big oil and then says, I'm warning you
1:37
Speaker 1: there is more death coming as a result. Trump has
1:41
Speaker 1: been bought for one billion by big oil. Is the
1:44
Speaker 1: new claim coming from Senator Marky. This is his tweet
1:48
Speaker 1: that he put out just a payoff to kill the
1:51
Speaker 1: IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen,
1:54
Speaker 1: more fires, more climate disasters, more death. The fires are
2:00
Speaker 1: a preview of the coming atrocities. So if you don't
2:04
Speaker 1: agree with us on the Green New Deal, you're wanting
2:06
Speaker 1: people to die. He wasn't done, by the way, with
2:09
Speaker 1: that post. I think he felt like there was some momentum.
2:13
Speaker 1: So what was the momentum? In another post, the left
2:15
Speaker 1: wing Center said Trump is adding quote unquote fuel to
2:19
Speaker 1: the fire by expressing support for more natural gas drilling.
2:23
Speaker 1: When to shut all that down. His tweet, Los Angeles
2:27
Speaker 1: is on fire and Donald Trump says drill, baby, drill,
2:30
Speaker 1: and stop wind in solar. He will only add fuel
2:34
Speaker 1: to the fire. As multiple fires are burning through thousands
2:39
Speaker 1: of acres in Los Angeles. Marquee wasn't done saying this quote.
2:44
Speaker 1: Republicans can say that we can't afford a green new deal.
2:48
Speaker 1: What we really can't afford is the sacrifice is to
2:51
Speaker 1: sacrifice our lives, our homes, and communities in fires fueled
2:55
Speaker 1: by the climate crisis. We need a system change, not
2:59
Speaker 1: climate change. This after he posts a picture from Forbes
3:04
Speaker 1: of satellite images showing the devastation caused by the Los
3:08
Speaker 1: Angeles wild fires. Now, Republicans are pretty clear about this.
3:14
Speaker 1: You go back to the facts, and the facts are
3:16
Speaker 1: that Democrats could have avoided these wildfires if they would
3:21
Speaker 1: have done their damn job. It was on multiple fronts.
3:25
Speaker 1: They refused to do appropriate forestry management. They refused to
3:30
Speaker 1: get rid of the brush. They refuse to have the reservoir,
3:33
Speaker 1: for example, filled with water it was offline. They refuse
3:37
Speaker 1: to save the water from the record rainfall they've had
3:40
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. They refused to actually
3:45
Speaker 1: realize that this could happen. Now, what's even more insane
3:49
Speaker 1: about the fact that this was something that they refused
3:51
Speaker 1: to deal with and refuse to look at Okay, is
3:53
Speaker 1: this this has happened before. They have had wildfires that
3:59
Speaker 1: have exploded before in California. It's not like this is
4:02
Speaker 1: the first time this ever happened. Okay, they know what happens.
4:07
Speaker 1: They understand what happens when wildfires rage. There's a reason
4:13
Speaker 1: why there were warning signs for many people, not just
4:17
Speaker 1: people in California, but people in the federal government and
4:20
Speaker 1: even back when Donald Trump was president the first time,
4:24
Speaker 1: warning California that you better get your head out of
4:26
Speaker 1: your ables and you better do your job. And your
4:30
Speaker 1: job is to take care of the people and to
4:33
Speaker 1: make sure that this can't happen on this type of scale.
4:37
Speaker 1: But what are they do instead? Oh well, let's just
4:40
Speaker 1: be clear. What they did instead was they decide to
4:44
Speaker 1: hire people based on their sexual orientation. They decide to
4:48
Speaker 1: hire people based on DEI diversity, equity and inclusion. They
4:53
Speaker 1: decided to cut firemen by the hundreds that wouldn't get
4:57
Speaker 1: vaccinated and not replace them. The fire chief said that
5:01
Speaker 1: they had half as many firemen as they should have.
5:04
Speaker 1: This is also the same woman that said it mattered
5:06
Speaker 1: more if you're a gay or lesbian than it did
5:07
Speaker 1: if you're actually good at your job, and then number
5:10
Speaker 1: two in charge, and I've played this for you before,
5:13
Speaker 1: said that if your husband is in a place, in
5:16
Speaker 1: a bad place and can't get out and I've got
5:18
Speaker 1: to pick them up and drag him out, well, then
5:19
Speaker 1: that's your husband's fault for being in a bad place.
5:22
Speaker 1: In reference to people that asked the question, hey, if
5:24
Speaker 1: we have a bunch of female firefighters, can they drag
5:27
Speaker 1: people out of buildings that are burning? If they're really big,
5:30
Speaker 1: well strong men, that's why you want to have them, right, Like,
5:34
Speaker 1: that's the whole reason. Now you put all this together
5:38
Speaker 1: and you look at all this incompetency that I just
5:40
Speaker 1: describe for you, and it was a hell a lot
5:43
Speaker 1: of incompetency that caused all of this massive budget cuts
5:47
Speaker 1: to the fire department, local cuts, state cuts, not managing
5:52
Speaker 1: the land the way that they're supposed to that has
5:54
Speaker 1: been proven to work. There's a lot of things here.
5:57
Speaker 1: But what's also even more shocking than that is what
5:59
Speaker 1: we're now seeing the President say. Joe Biden has come
6:03
Speaker 1: out saying that one hundred percent of these costs these
6:06
Speaker 1: wildfires are going to be covered by you and I
6:09
Speaker 1: the taxpayer. So we're going to bail out California for
6:13
Speaker 1: California's incomminency. How big was the incomminency? We actually found
6:18
Speaker 1: reports that knew Some cutover one hundred million in fire
6:20
Speaker 1: prevention programs months before this tragedy unfolded. Let me say
6:24
Speaker 1: that again. The Governor Gavin news Some cut over one
6:27
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in fire prevention programs months before the
6:32
Speaker 1: tragedy happened. From the twenty and twenty twenty four it
6:36
Speaker 1: was ae hundred million dollar priority to say we don't
6:39
Speaker 1: need to spend this money on fire prevention. And what's
6:43
Speaker 1: even more frustrating is now you and I, the taxpayers
6:45
Speaker 1: are the ones that are going to pay for this.
6:49
Speaker 1: You and I, the taxpayers are on the hook. Now
6:52
Speaker 1: you want to talk about evil bias. You know what
6:56
Speaker 1: the federal government did not do. The federal government didn't
7:00
Speaker 1: not go into Appalachia after Helene and say we're going
7:03
Speaker 1: to cover one hundred percent of this. By the way,
7:06
Speaker 1: that was something that was unavoidable, that would be an
7:09
Speaker 1: actual natural disaster, a hurricane, And they didn't do that.
7:13
Speaker 1: For the people there that are still living, intentse and homeless,
7:17
Speaker 1: they're not worth it because well They're not a bunch
7:19
Speaker 1: of wealthy liberal actors and tech CEOs living in ten
7:23
Speaker 1: and twenty and thirty million dollar mansions and most importantly
7:26
Speaker 1: voting for the crazy socialist Communist Party, the Democratic Party
7:31
Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom and Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and
7:36
Speaker 1: the Clintons. Right, that's not who they are. They're not
7:40
Speaker 1: going to say we'll bail you out. What's the reason?
7:42
Speaker 1: Because they hate you. But Biden says, the FEDS are
7:45
Speaker 1: going to cover one hundred percent of the fire response
7:47
Speaker 1: costs in these fires in California. But if you're somewhere
7:50
Speaker 1: else in America, flyover country, conservative area that voted for Trump,
7:54
Speaker 1: screw you. So I want to talk to you real
7:56
Speaker 1: quick about this new year and help that is needed
8:00
Speaker 1: for the people in Israel. On January the twenty seventh,
8:03
Speaker 1: the International Holocaust Remembrance Day will be here, and we're
8:06
Speaker 1: going to remember the great evil of the Holocaust, when
8:09
Speaker 1: millions of Jews were slaughtered during the Nazis regime and
8:13
Speaker 1: the reign that they had over people with just pure terror. Today,
8:16
Speaker 1: the rise in global anti Semitism and the constant attacks
8:20
Speaker 1: on Israel show us that it's more important than ever
8:23
Speaker 1: to remember the atrocities of the Holocaust to ensure it
8:26
Speaker 1: never ever happens again. And that's why I've partnered with
8:30
Speaker 1: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide food, shelter,
8:35
Speaker 1: and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world,
8:38
Speaker 1: including those remaining Holocaust survivors. Your donation today will help
8:42
Speaker 1: provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to the
8:47
Speaker 1: Jewish communities in need. And through your gift, you will
8:50
Speaker 1: stand with the Jewish people and against the growing anti
8:53
Speaker 1: Semitism and hatred. So if you want to stand with
8:57
Speaker 1: Israel and the Jewish people, you can give a gift
8:59
Speaker 1: to show your support right now by visiting support IFCJ
9:04
Speaker 1: dot org. That's one word, support if CJ dot org,
9:10
Speaker 1: or you can call them at eight eight eight four
9:13
Speaker 1: eight eight forty three twenty five. That's eight eight eight
9:17
Speaker 1: four eight eight forty three twenty five or support IFCJ
9:22
Speaker 1: dot org. You want to talk about another example of
9:25
Speaker 1: the people in charge saying screw you, and this is
9:28
Speaker 1: specifically to the citizens in California, but also it's saying
9:31
Speaker 1: screw you to the taxpayers because we're gonna cover all
9:34
Speaker 1: of this apparently. And so even though you didn't make
9:38
Speaker 1: these decisions, and your elected officials, if you're not living
9:41
Speaker 1: in La or in California, didn't make these decisions that
9:44
Speaker 1: created this entire disaster, you're gonna pay for it, folks.
9:47
Speaker 1: So congratulations. One hundred and thirteen Los Angeles Fire Department
9:51
Speaker 1: firefighters were fired. Yeah, they were removed from duty without
9:57
Speaker 1: pay for failing to meet the city's vaccination and mandate.
10:01
Speaker 1: What did the fire chiefs say yesterday? There's not enough firemen.
10:06
Speaker 1: We don't have enough. In fact, we need like twice
10:08
Speaker 1: as many as we've got. We don't have enough firemen.
10:11
Speaker 1: But we were so hell bent on saying screw you
10:16
Speaker 1: to you guys out there that we're getting not getting
10:18
Speaker 1: the vaccine. Even if it was religious reasons, we fired you.
10:22
Speaker 1: And even after we knew we got it wrong, it
10:24
Speaker 1: didn't matter because we're dictators and tyrants, right, We're dictators
10:28
Speaker 1: and tyrants. That's what we are. We are dictators and tyrants.
10:32
Speaker 1: What we decided to do is screw you yet again
10:35
Speaker 1: by not hiring you back. This is what communism is, folks.
10:40
Speaker 1: And then when they make a mistake, you and I
10:43
Speaker 1: are the ones that get to pay for it their incompetency,
10:47
Speaker 1: and then they want to blame Donald Trump, and not
10:52
Speaker 1: just Donald Trump, they also want to blame what else.
10:56
Speaker 1: They want to say, it's because you didn't believe in
10:58
Speaker 1: global warming. And if you just would believed in global
11:00
Speaker 1: warming and you just sort have done everything that we
11:03
Speaker 1: told you do, then this wouldn't happen. Now, let's talk
11:05
Speaker 1: about that, just logic, very quickly, very very quickly. Okay,
11:10
Speaker 1: Is there any other state in America that's is extreme
11:13
Speaker 1: on the issues of global warming than California? Like I
11:16
Speaker 1: do think that is a fair question. They've got probably
11:21
Speaker 1: more electric cars on the road per capita, I would say,
11:24
Speaker 1: than probably any other state, I'm guessing, but I feel
11:26
Speaker 1: like they're at least in the top three. They've done
11:29
Speaker 1: more to get rid of gas power cars, for example,
11:33
Speaker 1: than any other state. They ban them coming up and
11:35
Speaker 1: I don't know what year it is, twenty twenty five
11:36
Speaker 1: or twenty thirty five, whatever it is, where you're not
11:39
Speaker 1: even allowed to own a car that has a combustion
11:43
Speaker 1: engine in it, they're not allowed to sell them. They
11:46
Speaker 1: will become extinct in California because they have actually banned
11:50
Speaker 1: all cars that run on combustion engines, Like that's them,
11:55
Speaker 1: not us. That's them, Okay, Like that's them, to be clear,
11:58
Speaker 1: that is them. You'll look get all what they do
12:01
Speaker 1: out there in California. You go into a hotel and
12:04
Speaker 1: like the lights turn off on you if you don't
12:06
Speaker 1: move around the ac units don't run. Every house got
12:09
Speaker 1: to be like one of these like green Kumbaya houses, right,
12:13
Speaker 1: Like it's insane. And this is a place that I
12:18
Speaker 1: think they would argue we're more green than anywhere else,
12:21
Speaker 1: Like it's more expensive to do a building there than
12:23
Speaker 1: almost anywhere else, because it's got to be all this
12:25
Speaker 1: green crap in that like it's insane, folks, Like it is.
12:28
Speaker 1: It is absolutely insane. And I go through all this,
12:32
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, if the green thing was the issue,
12:35
Speaker 1: if global warming was the issue, if there's any state
12:38
Speaker 1: where it actually shouldn't be an issue, wouldn't it be
12:41
Speaker 1: in California? Like these are? These are not Like I'm
12:45
Speaker 1: not trying to be like a jerk when I ask
12:47
Speaker 1: these questions. I'm sincerely asking these questions, Like I think
12:52
Speaker 1: these are really fair questions to ask. These are incredibly
12:56
Speaker 1: fair questions to ask. These are these are questions that
13:00
Speaker 1: need to be answered, like if I'm going to buy
13:03
Speaker 1: that the green thing works, then this should never have
13:07
Speaker 1: happened in California based on their logic, Okay, not based
13:12
Speaker 1: on their logic. So that's part of this, Okay, Like
13:17
Speaker 1: that's just a part of it. But then there's the
13:20
Speaker 1: other part, and that is, well, is anyone going to
13:23
Speaker 1: hold them accountable for their screw ups because their screw
13:27
Speaker 1: ups are great, Their screw ups are massive. They didn't
13:32
Speaker 1: manage their force. Hell, they didn't even have water, like,
13:35
Speaker 1: they didn't have water in the reservoir to then fill
13:39
Speaker 1: up the hydrants during fire season when the winds do
13:43
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They had a mayor during this fire
13:46
Speaker 1: season that was in where was she Ghana, wherever the
13:48
Speaker 1: hell she was. Then you have a governor that cut
13:52
Speaker 1: fire prevention for the state by over one hundred million
13:54
Speaker 1: dollars within the last year, and you had a fire
13:57
Speaker 1: department budget that was cut by tens of millions of
14:01
Speaker 1: dollars in LA alone. And then you add three lesbians
14:04
Speaker 1: running LA which I'll say this is clearly of the
14:06
Speaker 1: fire department. I don't give a crap about if you're
14:08
Speaker 1: a lesbian or gay or transendor. If you're a great fireman.
14:10
Speaker 1: What I do have a problem with is you pushing
14:13
Speaker 1: someone's sexuality over hiring the best person for the job.
14:18
Speaker 1: The psychotic arrogance of so many of these different people
14:24
Speaker 1: that are out there in the fire department is insane
14:28
Speaker 1: to me. Having a woman look at you and laugh
14:32
Speaker 1: in your face, laughing in your face at this trgy
14:37
Speaker 1: saying well, you know, if you're a dude and you're
14:40
Speaker 1: and I got to carry you out of a building,
14:41
Speaker 1: you're in the wrong place, bro, Like that's on you.
14:43
Speaker 1: That's what the assistant fire chief said, Like, not my
14:45
Speaker 1: job to save your life. Well that is actually your job,
14:47
Speaker 1: but okay, whatever, And then let me also just talk
14:51
Speaker 1: about Gavin Newsom for a second. Gavin Newsom, and this
14:55
Speaker 1: was the moment that Gavin Newsom's role as governor, in
14:58
Speaker 1: my opinion ended. There is no accountability or transparency, and
15:04
Speaker 1: he wants to investigate himself, saying we need to investigate
15:07
Speaker 1: what happened here, Like that would mean you're investigating yourself, dude.
15:11
Speaker 1: Listen to Gavin Newsom in his own words.
15:13
Speaker 2: I want to know the answers. So I'm the governor
15:16
Speaker 2: of California, I want to know the answer. I've got
15:17
Speaker 2: that question. I can't tell you about how many people
15:19
Speaker 2: what happened? My own team saying what happened? And I
15:22
Speaker 2: want to get the answers, and wasn't going to help
15:24
Speaker 2: Becannon with the wasn't getting straight answers. Yeah, I watched
15:26
Speaker 2: the press conference, I met with some of those leaders.
15:28
Speaker 2: We had my team start talking to local leaders saying,
15:31
Speaker 2: what's going on our state. Weren't getting straight answers from
15:33
Speaker 2: I was getting different answers. When you start getting different answers,
15:36
Speaker 2: then I'm not getting the actual story and they're assessing it.
15:39
Speaker 2: And I get that as well. You have a little
15:40
Speaker 2: bit of grace back to the point, we're in this
15:42
Speaker 2: emergency environment and everything else. So I just want to
15:44
Speaker 2: determine the facts. But no one has any patience anymore
15:47
Speaker 2: in this weaponize back to the grievance of Trump everyone else.
15:50
Speaker 2: There's immediacy, and lies travel the proverbial world, and it's
15:54
Speaker 2: hard to get the facts out there unless you have
15:57
Speaker 2: backing of those facts and you can communicate them. So
16:00
Speaker 2: and so that's what we're trying to achieve as relates this.
16:02
Speaker 2: But I have ten other things we're doing concurrently as well,
16:05
Speaker 2: I mean across the board on recovery, disaster assistance, getting
16:09
Speaker 2: the major disaster declaration and may be the first one
16:11
Speaker 2: in US history, over a text with the White House
16:14
Speaker 2: within literally thirty six hours to get one hundred percent
16:18
Speaker 2: reimbursement for folks out here. We've been working concurrently in
16:20
Speaker 2: all of these areas. We're doing executive orders as I speak,
16:24
Speaker 2: as it relates to recovery and land use, dealing with
16:26
Speaker 2: speculation and fraud, and trying to address issues on Coastal
16:30
Speaker 2: Commission here and address the issue of planning permits and
16:33
Speaker 2: how we address all of the myriad of needs for
16:35
Speaker 2: small businesses, all of this in real time. Again as
16:39
Speaker 2: the state, even though this is not a state responsibility
16:41
Speaker 2: or to support the city and the county that are overwhelmed.
16:45
Speaker 1: I want answers. I want answers. Dude, you're the one
16:48
Speaker 1: that did this. Bro. This is a guy that knows
16:52
Speaker 1: it's his fault, who then literally says, I'm going to
16:55
Speaker 1: investigate myself. By the way, he's got to get a
16:57
Speaker 1: different I promise you that the investigator will not find
17:00
Speaker 1: that it's his fault. He's gonna blame everybody else. But himself.
17:03
Speaker 1: And then he's going to come in and he's going
17:05
Speaker 1: to act like he's the guy that saved the day.
17:07
Speaker 1: I'm getting one hundred percent reimbursement. That part there should
17:11
Speaker 1: scare the hell out of everybody because they're in competency.
17:15
Speaker 1: Now you no matter where you live, you are going
17:19
Speaker 1: to pay for it. And it's going to be expensive.
17:22
Speaker 1: And we're going to borrow the money, folks, and we're
17:25
Speaker 1: going to pay interest on that money, and it's going
17:27
Speaker 1: to put you and your kids and your grandkids in
17:29
Speaker 1: even more debt because they don't care about you. They
17:32
Speaker 1: screw up and they get a bailout. This is a bailout.
17:36
Speaker 1: I want you to understand. This is a bailout. That
17:40
Speaker 1: is all. This is a bail out, and the taxpayers
17:45
Speaker 1: of this country are going to bail out this dumba
17:48
Speaker 1: and the people around him. That is what is going
17:51
Speaker 1: to happen here. I want to go back real quick,
17:55
Speaker 1: by the way, to Gavin Newsom and just part of
17:57
Speaker 1: this Jedi mind trick that he's trying to pull here.
18:00
Speaker 1: And he did these interviews right like there's still fires
18:02
Speaker 1: going He's like, yeah, let me do the interviews. Let
18:04
Speaker 1: me get my hair perfect and get my makeup done,
18:07
Speaker 1: and you know, go on NBC and talk and he says,
18:10
Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump's the problem. Donald Trump's a real
18:13
Speaker 1: issue here. Donald Trump doesn't know what he's talking about.
18:14
Speaker 1: Donald Trump doesn't know what he's doing. And I'm going
18:17
Speaker 1: to attack Donald Trump because that's who you should be
18:18
Speaker 1: angry at right now. Other Democrats saying it's your fault
18:21
Speaker 1: because it's global warming. And he's like, I'm gonna I'm
18:24
Speaker 1: gonna welcome Donald Trump to come out here to California.
18:26
Speaker 1: Everything he's saying is wrong. Gavin Newsom also blatantly lied,
18:30
Speaker 1: saying all of our water reservoirs are full. The reporter
18:33
Speaker 1: then says, actually one reservoir was empty, like the most
18:35
Speaker 1: important one in the Palisades, and he says, well, oh yeah,
18:38
Speaker 1: that's why we're investigating that. So he lies to you
18:41
Speaker 1: and says all of them are full when they actually
18:42
Speaker 1: were not full. Listen carefully to the report. Now the
18:46
Speaker 1: reporter doesn't challenge him after they just states at once
18:48
Speaker 1: and then moves on.
18:50
Speaker 2: I called for him to come out take a look
18:51
Speaker 2: for himself. We want to do in the spirit of
18:53
Speaker 2: an open hand, not a close fist. He's the president elect.
18:56
Speaker 2: I respect the office. We have a president of the
18:58
Speaker 2: United States that within thirty six hours provided a major
19:02
Speaker 2: disaster declaration over a text. We had support from the
19:05
Speaker 2: President of the United States, Joe Biden, with one hundred
19:08
Speaker 2: percent reimbursement, all the resources you could hope for. Imagine
19:12
Speaker 2: constant communication. I'd like to extend that to the President elect.
19:16
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's referring to when he talks
19:18
Speaker 2: about the Delta smelt and reservoirs. The reservoirs are completely full.
19:22
Speaker 2: Of the state reservoirs here in southern California. That missing disinformation.
19:26
Speaker 2: I don't think advantages or aids any of us. Responding
19:29
Speaker 2: to Donald Trump's insults. We would spend another month. I'm
19:34
Speaker 2: very familiar with them. Every elected official that he disagrees with,
19:37
Speaker 2: very familiar with them. We do know, though, from reporting
19:40
Speaker 2: here locally, that that one reservoir that serves the palis
19:42
Speaker 2: aids was not full, and that's exactly what triggered my
19:45
Speaker 2: desire to get the investigation to understand what was happening
19:48
Speaker 2: with that local reservoir that was not a state system reservoir,
19:51
Speaker 2: which the President elect was referring to as it relates
19:54
Speaker 2: to the delta and somehow connecting the delta smelt to
19:57
Speaker 2: this fire which is.
20:00
Speaker 1: Just up there. It wasn't partially full. It was empty.
20:03
Speaker 1: It was bone dry, bro it was bone dry, bone
20:09
Speaker 1: dry empty. You're a lying scumback, he's like, oh, well,
20:14
Speaker 1: that's why we're going to do an investigation. That's that's
20:17
Speaker 1: exactly why we're having an investigator. That's that's why we're
20:19
Speaker 1: doing it. And by the way, Newsom isn't the only
20:22
Speaker 1: one in on this. MSNBC's Jensaki did a quote deep
20:28
Speaker 1: dive into leadership issues surrounding the California fires. She now
20:32
Speaker 1: says from quote her like investigation that it's the fault
20:36
Speaker 1: of you. Ready for this, Elon Musk, I do the
20:38
Speaker 1: owns X and Tesla, Like, this is a guy that
20:41
Speaker 1: started the evy vehicle craze. If you want to blame
20:45
Speaker 1: somebody like is Elon must have got to blame. But
20:48
Speaker 1: you got to understand he went to the dark side, right,
20:50
Speaker 1: he went to the Republican side, he went to the
20:52
Speaker 1: Trump side. So now we must destroy him at all costs.
20:55
Speaker 1: Now she's actually blaming Elon Musk for what happened in California.
21:01
Speaker 1: A guy that's in like Worth is coming from Tesla,
21:05
Speaker 1: they make electric vehicles. He should be like the god
21:08
Speaker 1: of the green new deal for you guys. And this
21:11
Speaker 1: is what she did. She went on TV and she says,
21:15
Speaker 1: this is the fault of them, a quote recipe for disaster.
21:19
Speaker 1: And on the screen it is a picture of Elon
21:22
Speaker 1: Musk and Donald Trump with houses burning behind them. Not
21:28
Speaker 1: Mayor Karen, not the woke DEI fire chief, not Gavin Newsom. No, no,
21:35
Speaker 1: she's saying the recipe for the disaster in California, where
21:38
Speaker 1: everybody in charge is a Democrat, is somehow Donald Trump,
21:42
Speaker 1: who's not in charge right now, right he's not the
21:44
Speaker 1: president of anything right now, he's president elect, he's not
21:47
Speaker 1: the president. And Elon Musk, who also is elected by
21:50
Speaker 1: no one, not in office, like, not in charge of
21:53
Speaker 1: anything in the government.
21:55
Speaker 3: And with these fires still burning, we are facing important
21:58
Speaker 3: questions about how to mitigate and prevent disasters like this
22:01
Speaker 3: in the future. In fact, this leaders will need to
22:03
Speaker 3: confront a very complicated and challenging reality moving forward. But
22:09
Speaker 3: right now that is not exactly what is happening. Instead,
22:13
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and his allies are injecting half truth, misinformation,
22:17
Speaker 3: and flat out lies in some cases in order to
22:19
Speaker 3: score a version of political points. I suppose we saw
22:23
Speaker 3: something similar to play out just this past October and
22:25
Speaker 3: the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, when Trump repeatedly
22:29
Speaker 3: lied about femas spending disaster relief funds on migrants, which
22:33
Speaker 3: didn't happen.
22:34
Speaker 1: Also, basically, by the way it did happen, she's a liar.
22:39
Speaker 1: That's a lie. She just total lie. But remember you
22:42
Speaker 1: have to blame Donald Trump and apparently now Elon Musk
22:45
Speaker 1: at all costs for the problems in California. What I
22:48
Speaker 1: said back here, and I don't think people are smart
22:51
Speaker 1: enough to figure this out. I wish all of them were.
22:53
Speaker 1: I don't think all of them are. Is like, if
22:56
Speaker 1: you went back thirty years, you wouldn't be able to
22:58
Speaker 1: get away with this. If you went back to twenty years,
23:00
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd be able to get away with
23:01
Speaker 1: these lives because people would be so angry at you
23:05
Speaker 1: for saying something so egregious in thinking you're soon enough
23:08
Speaker 1: to believe it. Democrats are in control of what right now,
23:12
Speaker 1: They're in control of everything in California they're in charge
23:17
Speaker 1: of the governor's mansion, They're in charge of every statewide office,
23:23
Speaker 1: They're in charge of every major office in LA and
23:30
Speaker 1: in the Palisades, And this entire area is run by
23:34
Speaker 1: hardcore lefties. The senators from California are Democrats. The congress
23:42
Speaker 1: people from this area are all Democrats. Every single person
23:47
Speaker 1: that is going to touch these wildfires on a daily
23:49
Speaker 1: basis in California are Democrats. And then you come out
23:54
Speaker 1: and you're like, let me tell you why Donald Trump
23:58
Speaker 1: and Elon Musk are the problem. And you're like, wait, wait, what, Like,
24:04
Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about? What do you
24:07
Speaker 1: mean that they're in charge? Like it's their fault that
24:12
Speaker 1: they should be blamed. But that is exactly what she
24:16
Speaker 1: just did there. She is telling you that somehow you
24:21
Speaker 1: should be angry at Trump because of the California fire response.
24:26
Speaker 1: Who cut the fire department? All right, Sally? Like who
24:30
Speaker 1: cut it locally? A Democrat who cut the money for
24:36
Speaker 1: the state to deal with fire prevention by more than
24:39
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars. That would be a guy by
24:42
Speaker 1: the name of what. Gavin Newsom came out and said,
24:47
Speaker 1: I want accountability for his inactions and he's now investigating himself,
24:51
Speaker 1: except you know the books are going to be cooked.
24:54
Speaker 1: Here's Gavin Newsom on another interview saying, we're going to
24:58
Speaker 1: launch an investigation. I want answers. I want to answers.
25:00
Speaker 1: Damn it.
25:01
Speaker 2: I want to know the answers. So I'm the governor
25:03
Speaker 2: of California. I want to know the answer. I've got
25:05
Speaker 2: that question. I can't tell you about how many people
25:07
Speaker 2: what happened. My own team saying what happened, and I
25:10
Speaker 2: want to get the answers, and we wasn't going to
25:11
Speaker 2: be cannon with they wasn't getting straight answers. I watched
25:13
Speaker 2: the press conference, I met with some of those leaders.
25:16
Speaker 2: We had my team start talking to local leaders saying,
25:18
Speaker 2: what's going on our state. Weren't getting straight answers, fright,
25:21
Speaker 2: I was getting different answers. When you can start getting
25:23
Speaker 2: different answers, then I'm not getting into the actual story
25:25
Speaker 2: and they're assessing it. And I get that as well.
25:27
Speaker 2: You have to a little bit of grace back to
25:29
Speaker 2: the point we're in this emergency environment and everything else.
25:31
Speaker 2: I just want to determine the facts. But no one
25:33
Speaker 2: has any patience anymore in this weaponize back to the
25:36
Speaker 2: grievance of Trump everyone else. There's immediacy and lies travel
25:40
Speaker 2: the proverbial world, and it's hard to get the facts
25:43
Speaker 2: out there unless you have backing of those facts and
25:46
Speaker 2: you can communicate them soberly. And so that's what we're
25:48
Speaker 2: trying to achieve as really as this, But I have
25:50
Speaker 2: ten other things we're doing concurrently as well. I mean,
25:53
Speaker 2: across the board on recovery, disaster assistance, getting the major
25:56
Speaker 2: disaster declaration and maybe the first one in US history
25:59
Speaker 2: over next with the White House within literally thirty six
26:03
Speaker 2: hours to get one hundred percent reimbursement for folks out here.
26:07
Speaker 2: We've been working concurrently in all of these areas. We're
26:10
Speaker 2: doing executive orders as I speak, as it relates to
26:12
Speaker 2: recovery and land use, dealing with speculation and fraud, and
26:16
Speaker 2: trying to address issues on the Coastal Commission here and
26:18
Speaker 2: address the issue of planning permits and how we address
26:21
Speaker 2: all of the myriad of needs for small businesses, all
26:24
Speaker 2: of this in real time. Again as the state, even
26:27
Speaker 2: though this is not a state responsibility or to support
26:30
Speaker 2: the city and the county that are overwhelmed at this moment.
26:34
Speaker 1: So it's not my fault. I demand accountability for my actions,
26:40
Speaker 1: and I demand that we have an investigation to what
26:43
Speaker 1: I did. Are they is the report in this investigation?
26:47
Speaker 1: And to tell you that California's Governor Gaven Newsom cut
26:50
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars from fire prevention budget for twenty
26:53
Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty four of the fiscal year. Now, why
26:55
Speaker 1: would they do that? Why on earth would they do that?
27:00
Speaker 1: Are they going to tell you that he lied to you,
27:03
Speaker 1: straight up lied to you, straight up lied to you
27:08
Speaker 1: when he said all of the reservoirs are full? They
27:10
Speaker 1: were not. Are they going to tell you that the
27:13
Speaker 1: La Mayor Caaren Bass, who just summoned the LA Fire
27:17
Speaker 1: Department Chief Crowley to a closed door meeting after the
27:19
Speaker 1: chief Blasser for cutting the fire budget. There, the chief
27:23
Speaker 1: there has been very vocal about the city failing its citizens.
27:26
Speaker 1: Are they going to tell you about that? No? No,
27:29
Speaker 1: They're going to cover it all up.
27:31
Speaker 2: No.
27:32
Speaker 1: And by the way, is the liberal media going to
27:34
Speaker 1: lie to your face? Absolutely? CNN fact checker, a guy
27:39
Speaker 1: by the name of Daniel Dale, went on TV this
27:41
Speaker 1: week and said, quote, there's no shortage of water in
27:43
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles area. The reservoirs are at or above
27:46
Speaker 1: historical levels. The water is there, so they're saying it's
27:49
Speaker 1: a lie. Okay, let me read you the headline from
27:52
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Times. A reservoir on the Palisades that
27:55
Speaker 1: holds one hundred and seventeen million gallons of water was
27:58
Speaker 1: offline this month for obviously scheduled maintenance. It was empty,
28:02
Speaker 1: and the Palisades fire exploded. That's coming from the LA Time.
28:05
Speaker 1: So the fact checker's lying to you, the governor's lying
28:08
Speaker 1: to the mayor's lying to you, and even the Los
28:10
Speaker 1: Angeles Times, which is a hardcore liberal newspaper, is saying
28:17
Speaker 1: they're all lying to you. I hope you'll take all
28:21
Speaker 1: the audio that I just played for you. Please share
28:24
Speaker 1: our podcast wherever you are on social media to help
28:27
Speaker 1: us grow, and I will see you back here tomorrow
