There are so many huge, tall, steep mountains around the Southland. And PCH is one of them. And when the fire starts jumping these things, People can get hemmed in pretty darn quick. I've always looked at that topographical map with sort of a paranoid eye and imagine what would happen if there was a ne'er-do-well on a red flag day. It's pretty easy for people to get boxed in in a hurry.
So if anyone's out there still wondering whether they should evacuate, I would say evacuate, dude. Because it goes really, really, really fast and the fire will jump.
I think there's a policy... The Californians are so left-wing.
Excellent. OK, you've already moved up. And what color is it? Who has access to it? Who has access to it? Exactly.
I don't see vagina color.
Seriously, right? Like the absurdity. It's bad enough that they're like, she's a woman. They were supposed to celebrate the fact that she's a lesbian. Who gives a shit?
I wanted to make one quick, quick point about electricity and power outages. There is a there is a reason why that that's out of that. That's interesting. I had to. Is that if you're going to do, as Camille was saying, a mandate that everyone must have an electric guitar, I'd like a guitar. The Jimi Hendrix mandate. No, that everyone must have electric cars.
You better have an electrical grid that works. And they don't. And also, who's the biggest contributor to wildfires in California over the last 20 years? Hmm. Let's guess. It's the people who have electrical lines. That is what sparks so many of the wildfires because they spark literally and then they go poof. So people need to think this stuff through a little bit more.
Oh, God. Oh, God. Dear God.
Oh, wow.
Well, I mean, let's be honest that he has also been as browbeaten as any executive in the country for the last basically since November or whatever the day was after the election in 2016, because the left absolutely freaked out and blamed Russia and Cambridge Analytica for
Vladimir Putin and the cookie monster living under their bed for Donald Trump winning, which is a very huge and horrible shock to him. And by that point, Facebook was large enough that it did what large companies tend to do, which is don't kick me too much and don't do anything that gets rid of my dominant position in the market. And, oh, do you want some regulations? I'll help you write them.
That's what big incumbents tend to do. And I'm happy that he turned. Everyone should go watch that video if you haven't. And I'm sure you played some of it yesterday or or will show some of it in a minute. His his hair, if nothing else, is just fantastic. And I applaud him for it. And he's been describing himself as more as libertarian over the years, which is. Very good.
And this is a moment where like it's kind of crystallizing a certain cultural vibe shift, if nothing else. But I would caution people. And that cultural vibe shift to me is that the culture of free speech is reasserting itself, whether the institutions of free speech are doing that, whether the incoming administration is going to be good for free speech.
There's many reasons to think that it won't be good for free speech. just in the way that the FCC incoming chairman or going to be chairman has talked about a couple of things, but table that for a second. That's an important thing. The culture-free speech is crucial to what all of us do.
And to have social media companies now coming around to where Elon Musk has already been, and he's a weird person too on some of these issues, but broadly speaking, he has thrown open rather than restricted the amount of speech on his platform. And Zuckerberg even said that he's going to adopt the same kind of community notes system that
Musk has on Twitter, which is probably the greatest innovation in the Musk era. It's just a real-time fact-checking what Wikipedia was supposed to be back in the day on some level. But it's so funny.
He was brought to heel, which is great.
I feel like it's more genuine. Looking at the video, it feels kind of more genuine. I don't actually want him to be responding to government pressure in any direction, whether it's in a way that's positive or negative.
I don't think so either. But I'm just saying I wouldn't want that to happen. That's what the left is now describing this, that he's capitulating and he's being brought to heel. I don't necessarily think that that is the case. I don't know.
