What we need is some sort of independent federal investigation because, and I think, you know, I'm surprised that Gavin Newsom's name hasn't come up for a preemptive pardon yet because under a Trump administration, you got to look into where the federal funds have been going. Well, what have they been doing with all of this money? And so I have a sneaking suspicion.

I'll read what Grok offered by, Grok has become my best friend. It says, no fire trucks from other states were not retained or turned away due to emission compliance. Instead, they underwent routine safety checks before being deployed to fight wildfires in Southern California.

The checks focused on ensuring that the vehicles were mechanically sound and safe for deployment, not for emissions or testing. Okay, and they both clarified that no emission or small testing was performed and all out-of-state vehicles were serviced and allowed to proceed to the fire zones.

Well, the other reality is that they might have backtracked real quick. It's a fog of war. That's what I wonder.

Well, I mean, when you hear that the 117 million gallon reservoir was empty because of a tear in the cloth because they didn't want bird poop and dirt getting in the water, or that they're diverting fresh water into the San Joaquin Delta to dilute the solidity for the Delta smelt, which hasn't been seen in six years.

But the bottom line is, like you say... The amount of effort that goes into climate change, climate crisis management, and then they don't do something that results in an abject disaster like this with the emissions that are going to be worse. They ban wood-burning stoves in Montreal. We can't get good bagels here anymore or up there. And then you have a forest fire that emits whatever.

Although I don't do carbs anymore, Drew, but a nice black seeded bagel. And they have these like, what are they? Brick kilns. And then they stick them in on the wood plank. Delicious. But yeah, wood stoves. Bad for the environment as well. I see.

Who's Biden going to pardon on the way out? Who's Trump going to pardon on the way in? I am vocally pushing and hoping that it's heard. It obviously is because a lot of people pushing it.
