The mayor and the police chief and the people in New Orleans said, well, gosh, how would we know that the guy would have driven up on the sidewalk? Seriously? Seriously. It didn't occur to you that a terrorist might not follow the posted traffic signs. This is tantamount to saying, well, how would we know they bring a gun? It said no firearms allowed.

And if you need to hire a consultant, I'm available. I can help you come up with a disaster plan that is in place so that we mitigate the risk when it happens and stop acting like a deer in the headlights.

Well, I would like to ask your permission to steal your quote. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. That is one of the greatest quotes I've ever heard. I don't know if you invented that or if you're quoting somebody else, but it will not leave me soon.

No, it is something that I've used as a teaching point when I teach classes on disaster preparedness and response. This is something that you need to have thought ahead of time. And as I said, I'm very biblically based, and so it comes in handy.

It's a vivid way of describing the shortfalls. Yeah, I'm mortified by the lack of forestry management, which used to be intense. I used to watch it behind us in the hills here. And it just stopped in the 80s. I remember when it first stopped, it stopped because it was interfering with the migratory patterns of a mouse.

And then multiple other environmental groups got involved and stopped everything. And it's like, and by the way, if you actually, Bernie Sanders, this message is for you. If you are actually interested in climate change, All the benefits of all the CO2 reduction that this state has taken since 2003 was completely wiped away by this fire.

And if you just measure the CO2 emitted between 2020 and 2024, it wipes away all the progress on CO2 emissions times two. So it should be your number one. If you're actually interested in climate change and CO2 emission, your numero uno priority should be managing these fires, period. But it's not very interesting, isn't it?

No, exactly. And this is, once again, how can you be caught back on your heels? Can you imagine Ron DeSantis saying, who knew we were going to have hurricanes in August?

You've got to remove these ready sources of fuel because all it's going to take is a single match or a lightning strike or a cigarette butt, and this thing is going to go up absolutely in flames. And so these are things, it makes me angry because it's one thing,
