#160 Tim Sheehy - Former Navy SEAL & Aerial Firefighter Breaks Down the Los Angeles Wildfires

You are prohibited from putting those things in your airplanes. It's like the rest of the world fights this way because it's more effective.

You can only carry your side on this deployment. Jeez.

And that's the type of rules. I mean, there's many that we can go on for hours about all these different codes and regulations that restrict effective firefighting of wildland fires.

The thing about these fires, whether you're a billionaire, a millionaire, an actor, or a homeless guy, they affect you just the same. It doesn't give a shit who you are. It's burning your community down, and you better get the hell out of the way. And we're seeing everyone on their phones, what the hell, how could this happen? I pay the highest taxes in L.A. We have the more rules than anybody.

We're doing more climate crap here than anywhere. And guess what? Our city is the one burning down. And, you know, sometimes you'll be fighting a fire and, you know, you want to pull water from a reservoir to go fight the fire. And time is critical, as I mentioned, in a fire. Initial attack, get there fast. Well, you have a reservoir right next to the fire.

Your turn time could be one minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes. Nope, can't use this reservoir. There's an endangered goldfish that lives there. You need to go to that reservoir 20 miles away. Is that what happened in LA? This happens all over California. Personally, it's recently like September. You can't go in that body of water. You got to go over to that one.

And oh, by the way, because you haven't put that foam in the water, now add a 5x on that. So now we're at 50 times less effective than we could be.
