Matt Welch

Wow, you're like the RFK of SiriusXM.

I mean, look, on these issues, I cede everything to Matt Welch, who is a Southern California boy, hasn't lived there in a long time, but never stops talking about it. Matt should maybe go back. Former LA Times employee, and Camille actually lives in California. But I see things like this, and I see something, you know, like a $17 million budget cut in

And, you know, as somebody from the outside who has no particular expertise in the fires that are always afflicting Southern California, one would presume that, you know, beefing up the fire department, not cutting $17 million from the budget would be the first thing that one might do, particularly considering that California has one of the heaviest tax burdens of any country in the state, in the union.

I mean, you look at how much money that they're gathering in taxes? And where is it going? I mean, that's what I would love to see of like, where in LA County is that money going? Otherwise, I mean, obviously, they have an enormous amount of money in their hands to deal with a homelessness problem, which has not, you know, been dealt with. So

So maybe we should reroute some of that money towards the fire department. A couple of other small things is that one, I mean, Matt said, you know, we have friends and, you know, it's, she did tweet about it. So, you know, I feel okay saying it, is that our friend Kennedy has a house in the Palisades.

And Matt and I were talking before this, like we were looking at videos and we're like, oh my God, is that Kennedy's house? Cause we've all been there. And, you know, so we have friends that are just on the front lines of this. And the second thing is, is because, of the unbelievable silliness of the fire chief that you showed clips of. It's like, why are you telling me about staffing?

Nobody cares about the staffing of the post office in California. What are you telling me about your staffing policies? We don't need to know. But they're telling you that because they want you to think, look, they're such great people. But let's move away from her for a second, who seems like a thoroughly ridiculous individual, and just praise the firefighters. I mean, two people have died.

Look at that photograph from the plane. That looks like CGI from an apocalyptic Hollywood movie. And I looked this morning in terror and I say, I don't, this must have killed X number of people. God knows that that number is unfortunately going to increase, but I saw that we have a confirmed two people died in a fire that big. They should have never gotten that big. It should have been contained.
