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

environmental protection policies, wilderness policies, don't touch this land, don't build a road there, build up and make it so we can't fight fire in these parts of the country. So fixing this fire issue means we need to bring back common sense public lands management, because most of these lands that are mismanaged, the vast majority of them are public. They're owned by the federal government.

Well, I should say they're owned by the American people. They are public. But a long time ago, the concept that the American people could control these lands left. Now, the government's runs these lands, and it's run by environmentalist groups. It's run by the EnviroLobby. It's run by environmental lawyers who injunct every single decision.

You try to put foam in an airplane tank and say, we need to, boom, they'll injunct that. They're waiting like sniper shot. You poke your head up, boom. Hey, we want to start logging this 600 acre section. Boom, no, we're going to sue you for that. Hey, we want to start mining with, no, boom. Hey, we want to build a road here. No, sue, you're violating this wilderness code.

And they litigate you out of existence. Hey, we want to use this reservoir to fill our fire hydrants. No, boom, that's an endangered species classified body of water. Can't touch it. And then you think about these fire hydrants going dry in L.A. There's a lot of reasons why. I wanted to ask you that.

A lot of the fire hydrants were running dry, and a lot of reasons for it. Some of it was power was shut down, and obviously if you're up higher elevation, like if you're on a promontory out there, you need electric pump pressure to get those hydrants full. Well, when they shut power down, that's not happening, number one. Number two, I mean, what do you think a fire hydrant's built for?

I mean, what do you have a fire hydrant in the street corner? It's for a house fire, right? I mean, it's for one fire truck to pull up, hook up his hose, and spray down the house. So that's what our fire hydrants are designed to do. Again, urban firefighting. Our whole cities are planned for urban firefighting. Pull the fire truck up, plug the hose in, spray the house.

Now imagine turning every single fire hydrant on in the city to fight 5,000 house fires at once. Shit. The water pressure's not there for that. It's like turning every shower in your house on at once and every sink on and flush every toilet and turn your washing machine and your dishwasher on. You probably don't have enough water pressure anymore to keep all that running.
