They're the ones who start the fire. I don't know if you remember three or four years ago, Bel Air burned down, where the 405 comes through by the Getty Center. That almost burned down because of a homeless encampment right there in that valley. And so it's just these stupid policies. They don't clear the brush.

Having no water in Pacific Palisades, which is one of the most expensive zip codes in the world, is actually like, that's criminal. That's attempted murder, to be frank.

Yeah, that's what Rick Caruso said. He lives in Brentwood, which I think his daughter in the Palisades lost her home. You know, he's the one who ran for mayor in L.A. And he was ahead on election night. I don't know if you recall a couple of years ago. And then miraculously, lo and behold, at one in the morning, Karen Bass squeaked in a victory ahead of him. Oh, I wonder how that happened.

And so he's really the only guy talking sense here. Yeah. And he said last night that there was no water in the fire hydrants. Civic Palisades, you know, entry level starting home, the Palisades, you know, three, four million dollars. So, you know, you expect like what do we pay our property taxes to? We can't go to the schools here. The fire departments don't have water.

Like what exactly what exactly are we paying for? It's really hard to justify even paying one more dollar of property tax.

Third-world country. Mm-hmm. I mean, you know, usually the fires are like an encampment under the freeway. And so it's actually hard to know is something that's burnt out in L.A. actually, you know, a fire or is it just like another junkie? you know, lighting his crack pipe or whatever. It's just it's just a travesty. And I can't I keep thinking every year I've looked at my whole life.

One day people are going to stop voting for these people. One day, you know, they're going to recall Gavin Newsom. He beat his recall. He got reelected. Like, it's just what will it take to wake up people in Los Angeles? Maybe this is it. Maybe this is finally it.

Yeah, apparently there's the environmental lobby is so strong and they don't want you to like hurt, you know, some chaparral bush that's, you know, endangered or like some endangered lizard. You're not allowed to do anything. You can endanger millions of people's lives and their children and their businesses, but you can't hurt the like nesting ground squirrel or whatever it is.

But the other thing is we get these torrential rainfalls. We get these horrible storms once a year. Of course, we haven't had one yet, not one drop of rain yet. We have so much water comes down into the city, so much water, billions of tons of water, and it all goes right into the ocean. It just goes right into the ocean.

And everyone's always wondering like, why don't they just like build, you know, big reservoirs? Why can't you capture this water, have all this water? You could have locally stored water tanks. You could have neighbors fighting their own fires in the Palisades, in Malibu. Malibu's burned down like 10 times in my lifetime and they've never once organized this.

We have the water, you know, we live next to an ocean, but somehow the water that God gives us in rain never quite makes it to the fires.
