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.

So we're in a great fire period like we were over 100 years ago when we have now had many U.S. cities wiped off the map. Literally. I mean, Lahaina's gone. Parts of L.A. are gone.

And the best way to hold people accountable is elections. You know, California's got to wake up. Why do you keep voting for these people?

Let's, I want a quick hit on that because accountability matters. And there is... As Pete Hexess said in his interview yesterday, or in his hearing, you know, if you lose your rifle as a soldier, you're crucified. If you lose a war as a general, nobody cares.
