And so like, it's nice to see these firefighters like fact-based, uh, retorts to Elon Musk who's trying to bait them and they're like not giving him anything so the other thing to keep in mind about Los Angeles is I'm in Venice I'm in the city of LA if I was a mile that way I'd be in the city of Santa Monica which is not in the city of LA if I was this direction to the West a little bit.

So the East, I'd be in Culver City, which is its own city. West Hollywood, own city. Malibu, Pasadena, lots of incorporated cities for various reasons that I mentioned before. A lot of white people wanted to sort of protect their neighborhoods back in the day. They don't want to pay LA city taxes. They contract with Los Angeles County for various services.

So Los Angeles County has jurisdiction over some of these areas where the fights are happening. Now, to be clear, the fire departments are coming in from all over Southern California. They're coming from all parts of LA to fight these different fires. Like, good on them. But there's the Department of Water and Power. There's public utilities, which are managed by boards.

The county is managed by a board of supervisors. Every city has its own leadership. And then our mayor... even before Karen Bass, they don't have a lot of power compared to other cities. The power in the city rests with the city council. And so the mayor, and we saw this with Garcetti beforehand, a good mayor, like a Tom Bradley or Richard Reardon, can really set the agenda and show leadership.

And this was what Rick Caruso was running on in 2022, because they know there's not much they can do, you know, by the stroke of a pen to fix everything. You know, the mayor has to work with the city council, you know, bring a point of view, what they want to get done. Karen Bass came in, her thing was cleaning up homelessness.

But she built herself as a problem solver because she was a coalition builder in the state assembly in California and in Congress, and she ran the CBC. But man, I talked to a lot of people yesterday who were like Democrats, by the way. Everyone here is a Democrat, basically. That's not true. We'll get to that. But they are like, is she built for this?

Like as a member of Congress, a lifelong member of a legislative body, it doesn't feel like she's cut out for this. And that's why Rick Caruso is suddenly driving the political conversation here and has a lane to run against her again.

It's not unfair. And that's the main thing. So there are, again, every Elon Musk on the internet is Googling something and posting about it because they want to like, oh, I looked up the LA Fire Department budget and it looks like they made this cut. And the owner of the LA Times, Patrick Soon-Shiong, you know, was posting some of this stuff. And it's,
