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

And it's not too much for us to ask for those from our government. So I agree with you completely that these disasters, when they come in, we need to be prepared for them ahead of time. When a hurricane's coming, we know it's coming for weeks. It's not a secret. For the most part, I think the state of Florida has done a pretty darn good job with that.

And I actually think the federal government has gotten pretty good at their hurricane. It's never perfect. Obviously, no one was ready in North Carolina. They were ready in Florida and Louisiana, but they weren't ready up in the Appalachians. We know that. We weren't ready in California. And California's got no excuse not to be ready for this. I mean, they are seeing major fires every single year.

There's no excuse for the complete lack of preparedness that we saw in LA. I'm not pointing fingers. I'm just stating a fact. Mega fires are happening in California every single year. The fact that this response in America's arguably greatest city was just unacceptable. Yeah.

Absolutely. I already have. We've already got bills drafted to bring common sense to this. Like, one, for example, is going to – and oddly enough, Gavin Newsom tweeted it out the other day, not mine exactly, but almost the same stuff, which was we are going to expedite – permitting for timber projects.

We are going to expedite, you know, permits for water use so we don't have a water shortage again. You know, we are going to make sure we have enough funding to have appropriate levels, you know, of firefighters and aircraft available, which this should have happened years ago because, as I said, California gets burned every year. But we're seeing it in California.

We're already introducing bills in the Senate, drafting bill language. A lot of partners, bipartisan, I might add, That's great to hear. Yeah. And you wouldn't believe, as I started talking about it on CNN and Fox News all over this last week, scrambling from the rooftops about this, I've had so many Democrats come up and say, hey, I want to work with you on this. This isn't a partisan issue.

We need to fix this. We owe this to our people. You know, even Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff and I probably don't agree on much of anything. But he was one of the first guys to come up to me and say, hey, I want to work with you on this because I represent California and they expect a solution.
