Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning Cooner country, my friends. I'm almost speechless, and
you know, for me, that's that's almost unheard of. But
what is now happening in southern California is an absolute
disgrace and a national shame. As Trump rightly said on
(00:22):
his true social posts just a couple hours ago, some
of the most beautiful and best parts of the United
States are being burnt to ashes in front of our
eyes in what can only be described as historic apocalyptic wildfires.
(00:45):
These are wildfires now raging across Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, West, Hollywood, Malibu, Pasadena.
I mean, I could go on Pacific Palisades where frankly
many of the rich and famous, many Hollywood celebrities live there,
(01:06):
and the scenes resemble a hellscape.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
There's just no other way to say it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Windstorms now have propelled these wildfires to engulf entire areas,
entire neighborhoods, in stunning speed and quickness. To the point
now the images coming out of California are absolutely shocking.
Shocking residents trapped in their cars as these raging wildfires
(01:40):
just start to surround them, having to abandon their cars
on the roads, on the highways, people fleeing people being
evacuated from their homes. At least seventy thousand evacuated, and
they say tens of thousands more to be evacuated. Over
a thousand structure and buildings burnt to the ground, homes,
(02:04):
apartment complexes, businesses, people's livelihoods, people's homes are now in ashes.
And as all of this takes place, incredibly, absolutely incredibly,
Gavin Newsom, or as Trump likes to call him, Gavin Uscomb,
(02:26):
is almost nowhere to be seen. He's practically invisible. And
when he does make an appearance, I kid you not,
it's something out of Nazi Germany and Joseph Goebbels. He
brings in Joe Biden. That's senile buffoon. Biden was already
(02:47):
in California before the wildfires even started, because you know him,
He's always there for a good vacation. And suddenly Newsom
calls a press conference out of the blue, no new information,
not making any They're not doing anything to effectively fight
or combat these wildfires. But instead, I swear to you,
(03:11):
they're patting each other on the back. Joe Biden is
going on about what a great job Newsim has done.
Newsom is going on about what a great job Joey
has done. Meanwhile, the fires continue to rage and spread,
and rage and spread. Two thousand acres, five thousand acres,
(03:33):
ten thousand acres, five wildfires at once, ravaging large parts
of Los Angeles, large parts of the entire Los Angeles
area and La County zero percent contained zero and while
Los Angeles and southern California is being burnt to the ground,
(03:59):
literally burnt to the ground. This is one for the ages.
With Newsom standing right beside the buffoon dementia, Joe, listen
to this. Joe Biden interrupts the briefing to first say,
the good news, I swear to you, is that Hunter
(04:21):
Biden's home hasn't been affected. That you know what, Hey,
other people may be dying, and it's at least five dead.
Countless people are injured and in the hospital. As I said,
almost one hundred thousand evacuated. Wildfires raging everywhere. But a
(04:42):
the good news age, my crackheads son, Hey's okay, no
one touched his The fires haven't touched his condo yet.
By the way, he rents. Hunter's are renter. It's not
even his own property. It's not even like it's money
coming out of his post. And then it's not just
(05:03):
that a Hunter hasn't been affected. Well, thank them. Hey
everything's fine, Hey, good old Hunter. If Hunter's good, everything
is good.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But then listen to this.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
This you want to talk about a mind bender. With
Newsom smiling and nodding, Biden says, amidst the horror, amidst
the burning, amidst the dying, there is light.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What is the light? Roll cut one, Mike.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's astounding what's happening? And only if he's a good news.
My son lives out here and his wife. But there
they got a clarification yesterday their home is probably burning.
The crown today it appears that maybe still standing. You're
not sure. But the good news is I'm a great
grandfather he as of today. Yeah, granddaughter's got a baby girl,
(06:05):
a baby boy, so she can remember this day.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
For a lot of rock presects.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I mean, it's just seconding. I'm sorry, but this is out.
It's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I mean this, you know, as Sandy and I were
talking about this, we always you know, go through the
clips and the cuts and the show before, you know,
pre show production meeting. And she said, this guy has
got ice water in his veins. I mean, you want
to talk about this man. The man is a pathological
narcissist and really a sociopath. How you can stand there
(06:40):
amidst this misery and this distruction and the deaths and
the havoc and the sheer, I mean, the incineration that
you're seeing everywhere, and you're going on about your great
grandchild has been born and these idiots, these led by
(07:01):
Newsom or like aha, con johweh. Hear him clapping, jowah,
congratulations Joe wah. So another addition to the Biden crime family.
That's another one that we can use to you know,
siphon off money and put into an account you got. Honestly,
(07:23):
there are some things in life you just don't do.
This is one of them. And this shows you really
the character of Joe Biden, the character of Gavin Newsom,
and the character of the mayor, the moonbat woke mayor
of La Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And I'm gonna get to her in a second.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So, this, my friends, is why Trump is calling for
Newsom to resign. It's not just that he is frighteningly
out of touch. It's not just that he's completely ineffective.
It's not just that he's clapping and cheering while literally
his residence and his citizens are seeing everything around them
(08:04):
burn to ashes. But he in some ways is directly
responsible for the carnage, the destruction, and the death that
is now ensuing in large parts of southern California. Why because, amazingly,
as Trump rightfully pointed out, Trump has been warning now
(08:28):
for years that Gavin Newsom, under the pressure of extreme environmentalists,
beholden to the woke left, beholden to the tree huggers,
beholden too the green lobby. They refuse to divert needed
(08:49):
fresh water supplies that they have in abundance in northern
California and diverted to southern California so you can combat
these wildfires and prevent them from burning a city like
Los Angeles to the ground. But you know why, Gavin,
youwse never did that. Instead, he took all those millions
(09:13):
of gallons of fresh water and flushed them needlessly into
the ocean. He refused to divert all that water because
he had to save a tiny species of fish, the fish,
a fish called this the delta smelt.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
The smelt smlt. Look at it, I swear, look it
up yourself, don't take my word for it, the smelt.
So to save the smelt, he said, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We've got to keep water levels at all these aqueducts
and aquifiers and reservoirs in the San Bernardino San Joaquin area,
which is where you can store all of this water
fresh water, millions of gallons, and then divert it down
south in southern California to go and combat these wildfires. No, no, no, no,
(10:08):
just dump them into the ocean, because we've.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Got to save the smelt.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Firefighters now, according to local media, according to countless eye witnesses,
according to the Los Angeles Fire Department itself, firefighters who
are trying to battle these raging fires in blazes, there's
no water in the fire hydrants. There's no water in
(10:37):
southern California. They don't have water to stop these fires.
That's why they're raging uncontrollably. Because Gavin Newsem, I swear
to you, refuse to divert all of that water from
northern California to southern California.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
To save the bloody fish, the smelt. Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Is not one hundred, He is one thousand. Percent correct.
This is an unmitigated disaster. Gavin Newsom was warned about
these wildfires. They have been consuming California now for years.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He was warned.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Repeatedly that the lack of water in southern California was
eventually going to lead to the mother of ald wildfires
and they would not be able to contain it, stop it,
or douse them. And now, because of his recklessness, because
of his left wing woke extremism, southern California is literally
(11:54):
burning to the ground. Gavin Newsom should resign. And I've
got to say one other thing, and I'm going to
get to Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. Okay,
that woke moron. She was in Africa. She was in Africa,
(12:16):
in Ghana, Africa.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, listen now to President elect Trump
on the southern California wildfires.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Uh. He clearly, and he's right.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
This is clearly at the feet of these DEI woke policies. Clearly,
the mayor, the fire chief of LA I'm gonna get
to her in a second. And the governor, as he
likes to call him, Muscombe, Governor Gavin Newsom, listen now
to Trump roll cut twelve.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Mike, what's happening in California is a true tragedy. I
know those areas very well, have many friends living in
those houses. That is a true tragedy. Nobody everything, I
mean virtually Beverly Hills and areas around Beverly Hills are
being decimated. The biggest homes, some of the most valuable
homes in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Largest destroyed. I don't even know. You know, you talk
about a tax base.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
If those people leave, you're gonna lose half your tax
base of California.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
This is a true tragedy, and it's a mistake of
the governor.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
And you can say the administration they don't have any water,
they didn't have water, or the fire hydrants they don't
have water.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
They don't have water, I mean no, to be more accurate,
they have tons of water. He just refused to have
it diverted from northern California to southern California to save
the freak and smelt the fish that's rare whatever, I'm
almost unheard of, tiny species of fish. In other words,
(13:57):
the environmentalists run him, the green socialists run him. So
you see fish are more important than people, according to
liberals and moonbats and Newsom. Now, what is to me unbelievable, Okay,
this is unbelievable. Is that Newsome who has directed over
(14:20):
the years, I'm not talking the last couple of years
has been millions of gallons, but over them, you know,
the last what is it, six seven, eight years, literally
billions of gallons, billions with a bee, billions of gallons
of water right into the Pacific Ocean, you know, to
save the fish, the smelt. He now is livid, livid
(14:47):
that Trump is daring to criticize him.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Listen now to Newsome.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
He says he's so mad at Trump he doesn't even
want to respond because you're not gonna like what's gonna
come out of his mouth?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Roll cut thirteen, Mike, I hate to even ask this question.
By the president electus to attack you, blame you four.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Days one can't even respond to it. I mean, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
People are literally flean.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
People have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families
completely torn asunder, churches burned down. This guy wanted to
politicize it. I have a lot of thoughts and I
know what I want to say. I won't I stood
next to a president of the United States of America today,
and I was proud to be with Joe Biden. And
(15:41):
he had the backs of every single person in this community.
Didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
He criticized me. He's an absolute clown. This newsome is
a buffoon. I'm telling you, I come lead clown.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
California is in flames, Southern it's burning. Southern California's being
burned to the ground, largely because of him, because of him,
And he's crying now that someone finally has.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The guts to criticize him.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Notice no shame, no accountability, no sense of personal responsibility.
You know, maybe had I not been so concerned about
the smelt, maybe if we you know, like Trump had
been saying for years.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
In fact, i'll play you a cut.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Later in the show, he does an interview with that
famous podcast with Joe Rogan. This was what October. In October.
In the podcast with Joe Rogan, Trump is saying, they've
got to divert that water. They've got a ton of
water up there the world. The reservoirs up in San Bernardino,
San Joaquin County, that area it's millions and millions of
(16:58):
fresh water that I got to get it down there
in southern California because they're not gonna have anything to
fight these wildfires with. He predicted this in October. Anybody,
a child could have predicted this. And then you have
this crazy mayor of La who as Mark messaged me
(17:23):
on messenger maybe about ten fifteen minutes ago, and I
think he hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Jeff. There are some things you just don't cut in
a budget. You just don't cut.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You don't cut police, you don't cut firefighters, and just
basic elements of security for the community.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
You just don't cut. Karen Bass.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Because La is a sanctuary city, the mayor of LA
cut nearly twenty million dollars from the fire department's budget.
Six one seven two, six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I want to ask all of you, what do you
make of these wildfires in southern California?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And who do you think is to blame?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Is Trump right to blame, Gavin Newsom to blame DEI Diversity,
equity inclusion and these woke policies and woke politicians who
now clearly have no idea how to manage wildfires or
do anything to try to prevent wildfires. Now, to show
(18:35):
you how bad the situation is, Karen Bass, this moonbat,
mayor of La, you can't make this up, was in Africa.
She was on a political junket in Ghana, Africa, while
(18:55):
her city was being burnt to ashes. Now, why was
she in Ghana, you may say, Jeff, Jef, Jef, Why
was she in Africa? She was there to attend the
inauguration ceremonies of their new incoming president.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
This is your top.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Priority to go party in Africa while wildfires are destroying
and ravaging your city, burning it to that, burning it
to the ground. And she's tweeting from Africa about how
her fire department people, the LA fire Department's got relax,
(19:41):
We got everything under control.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
They are going a great job.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
This is the same woman who cut, as I said,
twenty or nearly twenty million dollars from the city's fire budget.
Why why did she cut twenty million dollars? Because La
is a sanctuary city. And as I've been saying again
and again and again, whether it's La, whether it's Boston,
(20:13):
whether it's Chicago, whether it's New York. I can take
your pick. I don't care pick your poison. As they say,
you have this many illegals pouring into your city, the
strain on social services, less money than for hospitals, for schools,
for firefighters, for police, for basic public safety and security.
(20:39):
And now they don't have enough firefighters in Los Angeles
to fight these raging wildfires.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Never mind that they've got no water.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
There's no water because they dumped it all into the
ocean to save the fish. So she now comes back
because it's now a political nightmare for her and ga Usom,
so she has to cut her junket short and then
she flies back to La. She's met at the airport
(21:09):
in Los Angeles by a British reporter Sky from Sky News,
and finally someone holds her feet to the fire. Listen
to him ask her question after question after question, and
the stunning, remarkable thing is that she freezes. You're not
(21:34):
going to hear a response from Karen Bass because she
gives no response. She's just sitting there. You got to
see the video image. The audio doesn't quite do it justice.
She is stone cold, paralyzed. She's frozen, like almost looking
into the abyss as if he's not there, and he's
(21:54):
confronting her with his microphone saying, well, you know, why
were you in Ghana? Why did you cut twenty million
dollars from the fire department? How come you didn't divert
water from northern California to southern California? How come your
own fire hydrants have no water in the hydrants? In
other words, your city is being mismanaged like a third
(22:16):
world toilet, like a third world hell hole?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Do you have anything to say for yourself? And she's just.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Blank, she's frozen, she's paralyzed, and she's just waiting, waiting
for her to get off the plane. She can't answer
his questions because there is no answer. She's guilty on
every single count roll cut ten, Mike.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
Do you, oh citizen's an apology for being absent while
their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire
department budget by millions of dollars?
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Not in there?
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Have you nothing to say today that? Have you absolutely
nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Mosque says
that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, madam
mayor have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?
You're dealing with this disaster. No apology for them. Do
(23:32):
you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this
was unfolding back home?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I assure she never says anything.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
By the way, I think every Democrat politician should be
peppered with questions like this.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Notice, suddenly now they don't have a big mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now, how come she's not going on about diversity, an equity,
an inclusion. Because, my friends, if I'm not here to
speak the truth, then what's the point of me being
behind this microphone? And here is the sad truth. The
reason why Democrats in the Los Angeles area voted for
(24:14):
Karen Bass is because for them, all they care about
is that she checks the right boxes. She's black, she's
a woman, and she's a lesbian, and they made a
big thing about it that she's LGBTQ plus and that's
(24:35):
all they care.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's literally all they care about.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
They don't ask if she's competent, they don't ask about merit,
they don't ask if she's qualified, because it doesn't matter.
The fact that she's black, female, and a lesbian is
all they care about. That to them is success. The
success is her her disgusting disgraceful, and Elon Musk is
(25:03):
completely right. She's utterly incompetent. Her policies are completely incompetent,
her behavior is utterly incompetent.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's incomprehensible. Look, whatever we may.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Think of California, and you know me, I don't care
for their wacko left wing politics. I don't care for
those moonbats on the West Coast, like I don't care
for the moonbats here in the Greater Boston area on
the East coast. But let's you know, let's be honest, Okay, entreneur,
as the French would say, among us, Southern California is
one of the most beautiful areas in the world. Forget America,
(25:39):
in the world. Malibu is going up in smoke. Beverly
Hills is going up in smoke. Pasadena is going up
in smoke. Historic Los Angeles is going up in smoke.
The Pacific Palisades is going up in smoke. West Hollywood
(26:01):
Sunset Boulevard, Iconic is going up in smoke. Trump is right.
Some of the most beautiful real estates, some of the
most beautiful homes, some of the most beautiful stretches of
property and territory in the world.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And she's in Ghana. She's in Africa, and she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Think, hmm, maybe I don't know, maybe I should be
there so I can see from myself that the hydrants,
the fire hydrants have no water. There's not enough firefighters.
And you know why there's not enough firefighters because the
moonbats in California. In LA celebrated the first female lesbian
(26:51):
police for forgive me fire Chief. The chief of the
Fire Department of Los Angeles, Okay, the LAFD, the Los
Angeles Fire Department is a white, female, lesbian LGBTQ plus
(27:12):
and on their own website, this Kristen Crowley is her name.
This fire chief, this Wooman openly says on the LAFD
website that her number one priority, it's not fighting fires.
It's not battling wildfires. It's not making sure the hydrants
(27:34):
have enough water or that you have enough qualified, competent
firefighters to fight these fires. No, no, no, no, lookt
up yourself.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
This new LGBTQ feminist police sorry fire chief says her
number one priority and I'll read to you straight from
the website is promoting and advancing divesity, equity and inclusion.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's her.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
She's completely incompetent. She's another one check the boxes and
the big one is LGBTQ plus. So we don't care
if Los Angeles burns. But hey, we've got a lesbian
pulley a fire chief now again. Please don't get me wrong,
(28:29):
I don't care if you're black, white, brown, male, female, gay, straight, lesbian,
non lesbian. Honest to God, I don't care. I want
people hired not because they check the right woke boxes,
but because they have merit, they're competent, they're talented, they
(28:54):
have the ability to do the job. And that's what
you're now seeing in southern California.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
D E I equals d I E die. That's what
you're seeing.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Boy sitting in the car by myself and I just
the tears just came over my face. Entire history is
is is in the house.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
What are you feeling when you see your house like this?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Now, I I'm going to break down again, That's what
That's what I feel.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
My whole life.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
That was an elderly resident in the Pacific, in the
Pacific Palisades, uh sixty years in that home. It's now
gone uh six point fifty now on the Great w
RKO Jeff Cooner Boston's bulldozer six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number, uh zero percent,
(29:58):
zero percent of these wildfire have now been contained. They've
been raging for days because of a massive windstorm that
is just spreading them everywhere. We're talking now thousands of
acres literally being incinerated, burnt to ash, over a thousand structures, homes, buildings,
businesses gone. As the Captain, a fire captain in Los
(30:22):
Angeles said, this is the worst fire to ever ravage
Los Angeles in that city's history. Five people are known
to be dead. Dozens of others are sent to the hospital.
It is now becoming a true catastrophe in Southern California.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
And so I want to ask all of you.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It is the Kooner Country Pole Question of the Day
sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, Siding and Windows with
Southern California ablaze. What do you think is responsible for
all of these raging, out of control wildfires. A. It's
(31:07):
a natural disaster. In other words, you can't blame anybody.
It's just mother nature or b woke DEI policies. Is
it because it's a natural disaster A or B woke
politicians DEI politicians with their crazy woke policies. You know
(31:31):
where I stand. I am a B on this as
is President Trump all the way, so much so that
Trump now has gone on true social and is demanding
Newsome's resignation. On the spot, you can vote on our
web page WRKO dot com slash cooner wrko dot com
(31:56):
slash cooner. K uh and is a national e are.
If you prefer, you can vote on very active on X.
My handle on x is at the Kooner Report. All
one word k U h n E R. Victor in Georgetown.
Thanks for holding Victor, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Sort of man.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Happy new Year, Happy New Year, all the best to
you and your family.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
Victor, listen, I'm going to see him a little bit
harsh here, but bear with me. As Marine Corps Helicopter
Crew Chief, I was stationed out at Santa Ana, California.
It is a beautiful area and it is as predictable
as the sunrise that those winds are going to be coming.
And for everyone, they're voted for Bass, they're voted for Harris,
(32:48):
they voted for Gavindei is not recognized by a fireball
coming down your road. And for everyone that voted for
these people, they voted to be held in jeopardy. And
if all the houses that burnt down, Jeff, I hope
(33:10):
they're owned by these liberal bastard's part of my language.
But I have no sympathy for them because they will
take us down also with their idiotic beliefs. They vote
for these Martians, they vote for these people that are
in Africa rather than back home as the mayor of
La taking their taking care of their citizens that have
(33:33):
voted for and we paid for them. We have a
Martian in Boston as a mayor. She blew in I
think from Chicago after getting out of her college comedy days.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
Hey listen, Kuonerman.
Speaker 10 (33:45):
We were saved by people like you and I working
hard to get President Trump elected, or we would have
had one of these schools on a national level burning
down America.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
What say you, Oh, you're dead on.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You're absolutely dead on. And look I think this one.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Now you can tell this is a different fire or fires,
the severity, the areas that it's hitting. It's not low
income now, it's a lot of it is high income.
This is hitting the rich and famous. This is hitting Hollywood.
This is hitting many celebrities, and they're the ones who
really line the pockets and fund the campaigns of the
(34:28):
Gavin Newsom's and the Karen Basses and all of these
crazy woke liberals and moonbats that the people of California
and the voters keep reelecting again and again. But now
Hollywood leftists are starting to realize, Oh, we do live in.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
The real world.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Oh, these are the real life consequences of putting somebody
as incompetent as Bass as mayor or Newsome as governor.
Listen now, Victor, I want to get your reaction to this.
This is actor Zachary Levi Hope. I'm pronouncing his last
name correctly. You can see now Hollywood elites are now saying, whoa.
(35:11):
This is all at Gavin Newsom's feet and the dismal
mismanagement and leadership in Los Angeles. And the one that
they can't forgive them for is their refusal to divert
all of that clean water, billions billions of gallons of
water that they have in northern California. But to save
(35:33):
the stupid smelt, the species of fish no one ever
heard of, they dumped it all into the ocean, and
so there's no water to combat the fires. That's why
the fires are raging out of control. Listen now to
Zachary Levi saying they're criminally negligent. This was incompetence bordering
(35:57):
now on criminal negligence. Got fifteen, Mike.
Speaker 12 (36:04):
This is just incredible mismanagement, incredibly poor leadership. I would
go so far as to saying that it's criminally negligent, because,
I mean, Gavin Newsom has been either the governor for
five years or lieutenant governor prior to that for eight
nine years. Some of the worst fires we've ever had
in California under that watch, he clearly knows that the
(36:27):
biggest problem that we suffer in California are these fires
and by the way, the mudslides that follow, and for
them to do essentially not just nothing, but worse than nothing.
When firefighter budgets are being cut, when they are specifically
intentionally not doing the work that could be done to
avoid these problems or to be able to effectively serve
(36:50):
them when they are happening, we are losing. I mean,
I think it's something like millions of acres of feet
of water runoff from from rain and snow every year
in California.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
See that's what. Yes, southern California is more like a desert.
I mean you know this better than I do, Victor,
because you were stationed out there. But southern California it's
more like a desert climate.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But northern California they have melting snow, They have a
lot of rainfall, a ton of rainfall, and so there's
reservoirs where they can store so much of this water
and these aquifiers and then divert it to southern California.
This is all intentional on the part of the leadership
(37:37):
because they're completely controlled and in bed with the globalist,
radical left environmentalist lobby. So they appease tree huggers and
they let the poor people of California now essentially see
their livelihoods, their businesses, and their homes be burnt to
the ground. My question to you, Victor, in some ways,
(38:00):
are the voters now getting what they voted for. You
vote di you vote Moonbat, you vote for woke, incompetent leaders.
You can't complain when it comes back to bite you
in the rear end?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Am I wrong? Victor?
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Yeah? One correct?
Speaker 11 (38:21):
And I want you listening to remember this comment here.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
The politicians want us living on our knees so they
can live on their thrones.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
And they will never ever serve us as citizens when
their political objective is more important than us. These I
met Offact, some burnt people, burnt to a Chris when
I was a METAFACT group chief overseas.
Speaker 10 (38:49):
And it is horrifying. And people in California right now
need to pass the word to everyone else in this
country that they're related to that they need to do
everything they can to keep these politicians on their toes
or get them the hell out of office. And thank
god we have President Trump. Thank you man, thank you Victor.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
January twentieth honestly can't come fast enough. Really, and again, look,
California is a sanctuary state.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Los Angeles and they're proud of it.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
In fact, the mayor, the city council they voted again
to you know, to stick it to thought, to stick
it to Trump's eye, to thumb you know, to thumb
their nose at Trump, the pokem in the eye. They
said again, they voted to reaffirm themselves as a sanctuary city. Well,
you have all these illegals pouring into California. They got
(39:44):
to give them welfare, food shelter, uh, social services, free education,
free healthcare. There's no money left in the budget. That's
why they're cutting. And they had to cut twenty team
or almost twenty million from the fire department budget. They
don't have enough firefighters, and even the firefighters that they
(40:09):
do have, now there's all kinds of complaints because they
keep pushing DEI, so they care more about people's skin color,
or their gender or really their sexual orientation that's the
big one, than they do about whether they're the most competent,
talented people for the job. And now they're saying there's
(40:31):
not enough firefighters, and many of the firefighters can't stand
up to the blazing wildfires because they promoted them over
their heads, over their abilities. Listen now to Leo Terrell
on Fox News saying, look, I don't wish people ill,
(40:52):
and I'm the same. I really don't. Look, it breaks
my heart to see these wildfires. It really does. And
I know there are many conservative in LA, many conservatives
in California who don't vote for any of this, So
you know, I feel very very bad for them, But
you know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Somebody has to say it. If you keep voting.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
For these crazy moonbats and you keep pushing diversity, equity inclusion,
well you're gonna get what you vote for. So in
a sense, the voters have no one to blame but themselves.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Roll cut thirteen, Mike.
Speaker 12 (41:32):
I hate to even ask this question by the President
ELECTUS too.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Oh my bad.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
I'm sorry, Mike, that was my mistake. Roll cut sixteen, Mike,
forgive me sixteen.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I want to be as clear as possible.
Speaker 13 (41:43):
This state has been hijacked by.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
The extreme left.
Speaker 13 (41:47):
Remember Karen Bath is the socialist mayor who said Castro
is a great guy. They focus on denying your responsibility
by yelle out climate change. I heard Karen Bath right
before the show. It's climate change.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
That's a lot.
Speaker 13 (42:01):
It's poor management on the part of the Democrats. They
do not look at fire prevention. What you said basic
forestry as a priority. It's climate change, it's ev mandate,
it's preventing oil. Really is THEI that VEI which is
so sickney?
Speaker 4 (42:21):
What does the EI have to.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Do with putting out fires?
Speaker 13 (42:23):
But you've got a city fire chief who thinks THEEI
is the number one issue.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
It's insulting and you know what, I.
Speaker 13 (42:30):
Blame the voter that I blame the media here, Sean,
you think the national media is biased. The local media
in California kiss the ring of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
They do nothing.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
It's like you're describing a Leo. It's like you're describing
the media in Massachusetts and in Boston. They're even worse
than the national media, if it's possible.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
But he's completely right.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Look, I just got to make one other super quick
point because the lines are jammed and I want to
obviously get to as many calls as possible. Leo Terrell
mentioned about poor forestry management, and this has been Trump's
point as well. It's not just that they're not diverting water.
How could you not divert water? To me, it's mind boggling. Okay,
it's insane, it's criminally negligent. But the underbrush, because every
(43:20):
year you have underbrush, the environmentalists saying.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
No, no, no, no, don't clean it up.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
No no, everything has to be on naturelle everything has
to be natural. No, you gotta save all the species. No, no,
leave the dry under bush alone. Well as every fire
prevention manager worth his or her salt says, that's the tinder.
(43:50):
The more underbrush you have, it's like gasoline or oil.
The moment of flame, a spark hits it, boom, and
then and it just takes off like wildfire, and it
just spreads and spreads and spreads because it's so dry.
So if you do proper forestry management, to hell with
(44:10):
the environmentalists, to hell with the smelt, to hell with
these little insects that they're obsessed with preserving, and you
actually clean out the underbrush as they used to do
in California, then you don't get these wildfires because they
can't feed off the underbrush, so they leave the dry
(44:31):
underbrush every year, which is why they keep getting more
and more wildfires. And then they won't have enough water
because they keep dumping it into the ocean to save
the stupid fish. So there's no water in the fire hydrants.
There's no water to even drop from the sky these
big bucket ships. There's no water. And now five people
(44:55):
are dead, and southern California is being burnt to ash.
Gavin Newsom is nowhere to be found, and Karen Bass
is in Africa, or was in Africa. And the fire
chief in La I Swear to you is saying we've
got to hire more lesbians, more gay people, more bisexual people,
(45:16):
more transsexual people. That that's the goal of the fire
department in LA. They don't have enough firefighters and they're
cutting the budget to take care of the illegals. And
people in California are now saying we're being run into
the ground like a third world hellhole. Well, now you're
going to look like a third world hell hole. Six
(45:38):
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number? Am I wrong? I want to hear from you?
Or do you agree with the COOONERMN Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Mike, who do
you want me to go to next? Barbara in Baltimore,
(45:58):
Thanks for holding Barber bruh, and as always, welcome.
Speaker 14 (46:03):
Good morning, and happy New Year to you. Not a
very happy occasion's happening in California. It's really sad. It's
a sad thing to see. But I do believe that
some of this is biblical. I think fire next time,
And there is one that's raging right now in a
(46:26):
place where a lot of things that I don't know
shouldn't happen happen. I just I felt really bad looking
at that those people's homes and seeing the anguish, and
some of them seem so close to the fire that
it was just unbelievable to me. But it's growth and competence.
(46:49):
Gavin Newsom should have been recalled and the people of
California have only themselves to blame. Larry Elder ran against him.
They could have had a good conservative running their state,
but they voted for the incompetence. And when I saw
that police chief on her interview, her priorities were all wrong.
(47:14):
You know, it really is sad to me that someone
in her position, all of them, in the position of authority,
are looking at everything except ability capability. Where are the
white men. Where are the strong white men who can
pick up someone with a guest, with their oxygen tank
(47:37):
on their back, all their equipment, and they can get somebody,
pick up a comrade, or pick up a wounded person
and carry them. Most of those women cannot do that.
And it's really it's a disservice to citizens for them
to use this DEI and you correctly said it, DEI
(47:59):
is really to die. You're gonna die for DEI because
a lot these people are incompetent. A lot of them
have jobs that they shouldn't have, and they're training. And
I looked at that room full of people that they
had in this training room. Look at how fat they were,
some of them all out of shape. They're not prepared
to go fight a fire. And then when they get
(48:21):
a fire, they have one like this, and because of
their stupidity, there's no water in the hydrants. How can
you have no water in the hydrants? It's a desert.
I've been to Southern it is beautiful. I went to
Pebble Beach, prettiest thing I ever seen. I picked up
some Mexican roses. I thought I could bring them back
to Maryland. They don't grow here, not those kinds. They're beautiful.
(48:47):
But to watch that state just go up and smoke
like that, it's a sad, sad thing, it really is.
And as long as you have sanctuary cities and states,
and this is what I live into, we're just blessed
that we don't have those kinds of catastrophes here. We
have other things that happen, and because of the incompetence,
(49:09):
we see it, but not as devastating as what's happening
out there, and it's going to continue if they don't
do something about it. I think President Trump is right
spot on. I love the way he's coming down on Gavin,
and I mean to his face even I saw where
he was at a meeting with him and letting you
know he's knights about it. But they're incompetent and they're
(49:34):
not equipped for the.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
Job, and they're shameless.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Jo Barbara, you're completely everything you say. You're not as
I like to say, you're not one hundred, you're a
thousand percent correct, and they're shameless. That to me is
what I just find incredible. You have this guy, Gavin,
you some I mean wildfires, out of control, raging everywhere.
The guy has been told for five years divert the
(50:01):
freaking water from northern California. It's not rocket science, man,
and the fires keep getting worse every year, worse and
worse and worse. There's not just no water in the hydrants,
there's no water in the hoses. You've got residential people
now in residential communities, in residential homes, saying, my house
(50:21):
is on fire. I try to turn the hose on,
there's no water in the hose. There's no water and
I'm like, oh my god, are you like seriously, like,
what is this Belarus? Like really, what is this Moldova?
Like you know, I know in Eastern Europe it's that bad.
But California, for God's sake, And he's start you know, oh,
(50:44):
Trump is playing politics, so.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
He's criticizing me.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
Oh pathetic, honestly pathetic. And Karen Bass, you're in Africa
while your city is burning, you cut the fire budget
to make room for more funding for illegals, and then
you come back and basically, now the whole place has
(51:08):
gone to hell. I mean everything is being burnt to
the ground. And then you're confronted by this journalist who's
just a reporter, who says, you know, why were you
in Africa, Like, don't you feel bad about that? Why
did you cut the fire budget? There's no firefighters. I
mean they're DEI firefighters, but you don't even have enough firefighters. Literally,
there's not enough firefighters. And she just like like it's.
Speaker 14 (51:30):
Like a wall.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
She just stands and looks into outer space. Barbara, we're
in trouble. I mean, thank the Lord, Trump is coming
to power in less than two weeks. But I got
to tell you if now you know why so many
people leave California. And that's you have to ask yourself California.
You look at the climate, you look at the weather,
(51:54):
you look at the just how beautiful it is.
Good morning Cooner country, my friends. I'm almost speechless, and
you know, for me, that's that's almost unheard of. But
what is now happening in southern California is an absolute
disgrace and a national shame. As Trump rightly said on
(00:22):
his true social posts just a couple hours ago, some
of the most beautiful and best parts of the United
States are being burnt to ashes in front of our
eyes in what can only be described as historic apocalyptic wildfires.
(00:45):
These are wildfires now raging across Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, West, Hollywood, Malibu, Pasadena.
I mean, I could go on Pacific Palisades where frankly
many of the rich and famous, many Hollywood celebrities live there,
(01:06):
and the scenes resemble a hellscape.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
There's just no other way to say it.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Windstorms now have propelled these wildfires to engulf entire areas,
entire neighborhoods, in stunning speed and quickness. To the point
now the images coming out of California are absolutely shocking.
Shocking residents trapped in their cars as these raging wildfires
(01:40):
just start to surround them, having to abandon their cars
on the roads, on the highways, people fleeing people being
evacuated from their homes. At least seventy thousand evacuated, and
they say tens of thousands more to be evacuated. Over
a thousand structure and buildings burnt to the ground, homes,
(02:04):
apartment complexes, businesses, people's livelihoods, people's homes are now in ashes.
And as all of this takes place, incredibly, absolutely incredibly,
Gavin Newsom, or as Trump likes to call him, Gavin Uscomb,
(02:26):
is almost nowhere to be seen. He's practically invisible. And
when he does make an appearance, I kid you not,
it's something out of Nazi Germany and Joseph Goebbels. He
brings in Joe Biden. That's senile buffoon. Biden was already
(02:47):
in California before the wildfires even started, because you know him,
He's always there for a good vacation. And suddenly Newsom
calls a press conference out of the blue, no new information,
not making any They're not doing anything to effectively fight
or combat these wildfires. But instead, I swear to you,
(03:11):
they're patting each other on the back. Joe Biden is
going on about what a great job Newsim has done.
Newsom is going on about what a great job Joey
has done. Meanwhile, the fires continue to rage and spread,
and rage and spread. Two thousand acres, five thousand acres,
(03:33):
ten thousand acres, five wildfires at once, ravaging large parts
of Los Angeles, large parts of the entire Los Angeles
area and La County zero percent contained zero and while
Los Angeles and southern California is being burnt to the ground,
(03:59):
literally burnt to the ground. This is one for the ages.
With Newsom standing right beside the buffoon dementia, Joe, listen
to this. Joe Biden interrupts the briefing to first say,
the good news, I swear to you, is that Hunter
(04:21):
Biden's home hasn't been affected. That you know what, Hey,
other people may be dying, and it's at least five dead.
Countless people are injured and in the hospital. As I said,
almost one hundred thousand evacuated. Wildfires raging everywhere. But a
(04:42):
the good news age, my crackheads son, Hey's okay, no
one touched his The fires haven't touched his condo yet.
By the way, he rents. Hunter's are renter. It's not
even his own property. It's not even like it's money
coming out of his post. And then it's not just
(05:03):
that a Hunter hasn't been affected. Well, thank them. Hey
everything's fine, Hey, good old Hunter. If Hunter's good, everything
is good.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But then listen to this.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
This you want to talk about a mind bender. With
Newsom smiling and nodding, Biden says, amidst the horror, amidst
the burning, amidst the dying, there is light.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
What is the light? Roll cut one, Mike.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's astounding what's happening? And only if he's a good news.
My son lives out here and his wife. But there
they got a clarification yesterday their home is probably burning.
The crown today it appears that maybe still standing. You're
not sure. But the good news is I'm a great
grandfather he as of today. Yeah, granddaughter's got a baby girl,
(06:05):
a baby boy, so she can remember this day.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
For a lot of rock presects.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I mean, it's just seconding. I'm sorry, but this is out.
It's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I mean this, you know, as Sandy and I were
talking about this, we always you know, go through the
clips and the cuts and the show before, you know,
pre show production meeting. And she said, this guy has
got ice water in his veins. I mean, you want
to talk about this man. The man is a pathological
narcissist and really a sociopath. How you can stand there
(06:40):
amidst this misery and this distruction and the deaths and
the havoc and the sheer, I mean, the incineration that
you're seeing everywhere, and you're going on about your great
grandchild has been born and these idiots, these led by
(07:01):
Newsom or like aha, con johweh. Hear him clapping, jowah,
congratulations Joe wah. So another addition to the Biden crime family.
That's another one that we can use to you know,
siphon off money and put into an account you got. Honestly,
(07:23):
there are some things in life you just don't do.
This is one of them. And this shows you really
the character of Joe Biden, the character of Gavin Newsom,
and the character of the mayor, the moonbat woke mayor
of La Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And I'm gonna get to her in a second.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So, this, my friends, is why Trump is calling for
Newsom to resign. It's not just that he is frighteningly
out of touch. It's not just that he's completely ineffective.
It's not just that he's clapping and cheering while literally
his residence and his citizens are seeing everything around them
(08:04):
burn to ashes. But he in some ways is directly
responsible for the carnage, the destruction, and the death that
is now ensuing in large parts of southern California. Why because, amazingly,
as Trump rightfully pointed out, Trump has been warning now
(08:28):
for years that Gavin Newsom, under the pressure of extreme environmentalists,
beholden to the woke left, beholden to the tree huggers,
beholden too the green lobby. They refuse to divert needed
(08:49):
fresh water supplies that they have in abundance in northern
California and diverted to southern California so you can combat
these wildfires and prevent them from burning a city like
Los Angeles to the ground. But you know why, Gavin,
youwse never did that. Instead, he took all those millions
(09:13):
of gallons of fresh water and flushed them needlessly into
the ocean. He refused to divert all that water because
he had to save a tiny species of fish, the fish,
a fish called this the delta smelt.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
The smelt smlt. Look at it, I swear, look it
up yourself, don't take my word for it, the smelt.
So to save the smelt, he said, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We've got to keep water levels at all these aqueducts
and aquifiers and reservoirs in the San Bernardino San Joaquin area,
which is where you can store all of this water
fresh water, millions of gallons, and then divert it down
south in southern California to go and combat these wildfires. No, no, no, no,
(10:08):
just dump them into the ocean, because we've.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Got to save the smelt.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Firefighters now, according to local media, according to countless eye witnesses,
according to the Los Angeles Fire Department itself, firefighters who
are trying to battle these raging fires in blazes, there's
no water in the fire hydrants. There's no water in
(10:37):
southern California. They don't have water to stop these fires.
That's why they're raging uncontrollably. Because Gavin Newsem, I swear
to you, refuse to divert all of that water from
northern California to southern California.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
To save the bloody fish, the smelt. Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Is not one hundred, He is one thousand. Percent correct.
This is an unmitigated disaster. Gavin Newsom was warned about
these wildfires. They have been consuming California now for years.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He was warned.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Repeatedly that the lack of water in southern California was
eventually going to lead to the mother of ald wildfires
and they would not be able to contain it, stop it,
or douse them. And now, because of his recklessness, because
of his left wing woke extremism, southern California is literally
(11:54):
burning to the ground. Gavin Newsom should resign. And I've
got to say one other thing, and I'm going to
get to Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. Okay,
that woke moron. She was in Africa. She was in Africa,
(12:16):
in Ghana, Africa.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, listen now to President elect Trump
on the southern California wildfires.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Uh. He clearly, and he's right.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
This is clearly at the feet of these DEI woke policies. Clearly,
the mayor, the fire chief of LA I'm gonna get
to her in a second. And the governor, as he
likes to call him, Muscombe, Governor Gavin Newsom, listen now
to Trump roll cut twelve.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Mike, what's happening in California is a true tragedy. I
know those areas very well, have many friends living in
those houses. That is a true tragedy. Nobody everything, I
mean virtually Beverly Hills and areas around Beverly Hills are
being decimated. The biggest homes, some of the most valuable
homes in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Largest destroyed. I don't even know. You know, you talk
about a tax base.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
If those people leave, you're gonna lose half your tax
base of California.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
This is a true tragedy, and it's a mistake of
the governor.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
And you can say the administration they don't have any water,
they didn't have water, or the fire hydrants they don't
have water.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
They don't have water, I mean no, to be more accurate,
they have tons of water. He just refused to have
it diverted from northern California to southern California to save
the freak and smelt the fish that's rare whatever, I'm
almost unheard of, tiny species of fish. In other words,
(13:57):
the environmentalists run him, the green socialists run him. So
you see fish are more important than people, according to
liberals and moonbats and Newsom. Now, what is to me unbelievable, Okay,
this is unbelievable. Is that Newsome who has directed over
(14:20):
the years, I'm not talking the last couple of years
has been millions of gallons, but over them, you know,
the last what is it, six seven, eight years, literally
billions of gallons, billions with a bee, billions of gallons
of water right into the Pacific Ocean, you know, to
save the fish, the smelt. He now is livid, livid
(14:47):
that Trump is daring to criticize him.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Listen now to Newsome.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
He says he's so mad at Trump he doesn't even
want to respond because you're not gonna like what's gonna
come out of his mouth?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Roll cut thirteen, Mike, I hate to even ask this question.
By the president electus to attack you, blame you four.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Days one can't even respond to it. I mean, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
People are literally flean.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
People have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families
completely torn asunder, churches burned down. This guy wanted to
politicize it. I have a lot of thoughts and I
know what I want to say. I won't I stood
next to a president of the United States of America today,
and I was proud to be with Joe Biden. And
(15:41):
he had the backs of every single person in this community.
Didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
He criticized me. He's an absolute clown. This newsome is
a buffoon. I'm telling you, I come lead clown.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
California is in flames, Southern it's burning. Southern California's being
burned to the ground, largely because of him, because of him,
And he's crying now that someone finally has.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The guts to criticize him.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Notice no shame, no accountability, no sense of personal responsibility.
You know, maybe had I not been so concerned about
the smelt, maybe if we you know, like Trump had
been saying for years.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
In fact, i'll play you a cut.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Later in the show, he does an interview with that
famous podcast with Joe Rogan. This was what October. In October.
In the podcast with Joe Rogan, Trump is saying, they've
got to divert that water. They've got a ton of
water up there the world. The reservoirs up in San Bernardino,
San Joaquin County, that area it's millions and millions of
(16:58):
fresh water that I got to get it down there
in southern California because they're not gonna have anything to
fight these wildfires with. He predicted this in October. Anybody,
a child could have predicted this. And then you have
this crazy mayor of La who as Mark messaged me
(17:23):
on messenger maybe about ten fifteen minutes ago, and I
think he hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Jeff. There are some things you just don't cut in
a budget. You just don't cut.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You don't cut police, you don't cut firefighters, and just
basic elements of security for the community.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
You just don't cut. Karen Bass.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Because La is a sanctuary city, the mayor of LA
cut nearly twenty million dollars from the fire department's budget.
Six one seven two, six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I want to ask all of you, what do you
make of these wildfires in southern California?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And who do you think is to blame?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Is Trump right to blame, Gavin Newsom to blame DEI Diversity,
equity inclusion and these woke policies and woke politicians who
now clearly have no idea how to manage wildfires or
do anything to try to prevent wildfires. Now, to show
(18:35):
you how bad the situation is, Karen Bass, this moonbat,
mayor of La, you can't make this up, was in Africa.
She was on a political junket in Ghana, Africa, while
(18:55):
her city was being burnt to ashes. Now, why was
she in Ghana, you may say, Jeff, Jef, Jef, Why
was she in Africa? She was there to attend the
inauguration ceremonies of their new incoming president.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
This is your top.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Priority to go party in Africa while wildfires are destroying
and ravaging your city, burning it to that, burning it
to the ground. And she's tweeting from Africa about how
her fire department people, the LA fire Department's got relax,
(19:41):
We got everything under control.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
They are going a great job.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
This is the same woman who cut, as I said,
twenty or nearly twenty million dollars from the city's fire budget.
Why why did she cut twenty million dollars? Because La
is a sanctuary city. And as I've been saying again
and again and again, whether it's La, whether it's Boston,
(20:13):
whether it's Chicago, whether it's New York. I can take
your pick. I don't care pick your poison. As they say,
you have this many illegals pouring into your city, the
strain on social services, less money than for hospitals, for schools,
for firefighters, for police, for basic public safety and security.
(20:39):
And now they don't have enough firefighters in Los Angeles
to fight these raging wildfires.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Never mind that they've got no water.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
There's no water because they dumped it all into the
ocean to save the fish. So she now comes back
because it's now a political nightmare for her and ga Usom,
so she has to cut her junket short and then
she flies back to La. She's met at the airport
(21:09):
in Los Angeles by a British reporter Sky from Sky News,
and finally someone holds her feet to the fire. Listen
to him ask her question after question after question, and
the stunning, remarkable thing is that she freezes. You're not
(21:34):
going to hear a response from Karen Bass because she
gives no response. She's just sitting there. You got to
see the video image. The audio doesn't quite do it justice.
She is stone cold, paralyzed. She's frozen, like almost looking
into the abyss as if he's not there, and he's
(21:54):
confronting her with his microphone saying, well, you know, why
were you in Ghana? Why did you cut twenty million
dollars from the fire department? How come you didn't divert
water from northern California to southern California? How come your
own fire hydrants have no water in the hydrants? In
other words, your city is being mismanaged like a third
(22:16):
world toilet, like a third world hell hole?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Do you have anything to say for yourself? And she's just.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Blank, she's frozen, she's paralyzed, and she's just waiting, waiting
for her to get off the plane. She can't answer
his questions because there is no answer. She's guilty on
every single count roll cut ten, Mike.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
Do you, oh citizen's an apology for being absent while
their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire
department budget by millions of dollars?
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Not in there?
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Have you nothing to say today that? Have you absolutely
nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Mosque says
that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position, madam
mayor have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?
You're dealing with this disaster. No apology for them. Do
(23:32):
you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this
was unfolding back home?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I assure she never says anything.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
By the way, I think every Democrat politician should be
peppered with questions like this.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Notice, suddenly now they don't have a big mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now, how come she's not going on about diversity, an equity,
an inclusion. Because, my friends, if I'm not here to
speak the truth, then what's the point of me being
behind this microphone? And here is the sad truth. The
reason why Democrats in the Los Angeles area voted for
(24:14):
Karen Bass is because for them, all they care about
is that she checks the right boxes. She's black, she's
a woman, and she's a lesbian, and they made a
big thing about it that she's LGBTQ plus and that's
(24:35):
all they care.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's literally all they care about.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
They don't ask if she's competent, they don't ask about merit,
they don't ask if she's qualified, because it doesn't matter.
The fact that she's black, female, and a lesbian is
all they care about. That to them is success. The
success is her her disgusting disgraceful, and Elon Musk is
(25:03):
completely right. She's utterly incompetent. Her policies are completely incompetent,
her behavior is utterly incompetent.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's incomprehensible. Look, whatever we may.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Think of California, and you know me, I don't care
for their wacko left wing politics. I don't care for
those moonbats on the West Coast, like I don't care
for the moonbats here in the Greater Boston area on
the East coast. But let's you know, let's be honest, Okay, entreneur,
as the French would say, among us, Southern California is
one of the most beautiful areas in the world. Forget America,
(25:39):
in the world. Malibu is going up in smoke. Beverly
Hills is going up in smoke. Pasadena is going up
in smoke. Historic Los Angeles is going up in smoke.
The Pacific Palisades is going up in smoke. West Hollywood
(26:01):
Sunset Boulevard, Iconic is going up in smoke. Trump is right.
Some of the most beautiful real estates, some of the
most beautiful homes, some of the most beautiful stretches of
property and territory in the world.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And she's in Ghana. She's in Africa, and she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Think, hmm, maybe I don't know, maybe I should be
there so I can see from myself that the hydrants,
the fire hydrants have no water. There's not enough firefighters.
And you know why there's not enough firefighters because the
moonbats in California. In LA celebrated the first female lesbian
(26:51):
police for forgive me fire Chief. The chief of the
Fire Department of Los Angeles, Okay, the LAFD, the Los
Angeles Fire Department is a white, female, lesbian LGBTQ plus
(27:12):
and on their own website, this Kristen Crowley is her name.
This fire chief, this Wooman openly says on the LAFD
website that her number one priority, it's not fighting fires.
It's not battling wildfires. It's not making sure the hydrants
(27:34):
have enough water or that you have enough qualified, competent
firefighters to fight these fires. No, no, no, no, lookt
up yourself.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
This new LGBTQ feminist police sorry fire chief says her
number one priority and I'll read to you straight from
the website is promoting and advancing divesity, equity and inclusion.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's her.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
She's completely incompetent. She's another one check the boxes and
the big one is LGBTQ plus. So we don't care
if Los Angeles burns. But hey, we've got a lesbian
pulley a fire chief now again. Please don't get me wrong,
(28:29):
I don't care if you're black, white, brown, male, female, gay, straight, lesbian,
non lesbian. Honest to God, I don't care. I want
people hired not because they check the right woke boxes,
but because they have merit, they're competent, they're talented, they
(28:54):
have the ability to do the job. And that's what
you're now seeing in southern California.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
D E I equals d I E die. That's what
you're seeing.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Boy sitting in the car by myself and I just
the tears just came over my face. Entire history is
is is in the house.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
What are you feeling when you see your house like this?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Now, I I'm going to break down again, That's what
That's what I feel.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
My whole life.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
That was an elderly resident in the Pacific, in the
Pacific Palisades, uh sixty years in that home. It's now
gone uh six point fifty now on the Great w
RKO Jeff Cooner Boston's bulldozer six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number, uh zero percent,
(29:58):
zero percent of these wildfire have now been contained. They've
been raging for days because of a massive windstorm that
is just spreading them everywhere. We're talking now thousands of
acres literally being incinerated, burnt to ash, over a thousand structures, homes, buildings,
businesses gone. As the Captain, a fire captain in Los
(30:22):
Angeles said, this is the worst fire to ever ravage
Los Angeles in that city's history. Five people are known
to be dead. Dozens of others are sent to the hospital.
It is now becoming a true catastrophe in Southern California.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
And so I want to ask all of you.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It is the Kooner Country Pole Question of the Day
sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, Siding and Windows with
Southern California ablaze. What do you think is responsible for
all of these raging, out of control wildfires. A. It's
(31:07):
a natural disaster. In other words, you can't blame anybody.
It's just mother nature or b woke DEI policies. Is
it because it's a natural disaster A or B woke
politicians DEI politicians with their crazy woke policies. You know
(31:31):
where I stand. I am a B on this as
is President Trump all the way, so much so that
Trump now has gone on true social and is demanding
Newsome's resignation. On the spot, you can vote on our
web page WRKO dot com slash cooner wrko dot com
(31:56):
slash cooner. K uh and is a national e are.
If you prefer, you can vote on very active on X.
My handle on x is at the Kooner Report. All
one word k U h n E R. Victor in Georgetown.
Thanks for holding Victor, and welcome.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Sort of man.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Happy new Year, Happy New Year, all the best to
you and your family.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
Victor, listen, I'm going to see him a little bit
harsh here, but bear with me. As Marine Corps Helicopter
Crew Chief, I was stationed out at Santa Ana, California.
It is a beautiful area and it is as predictable
as the sunrise that those winds are going to be coming.
And for everyone, they're voted for Bass, they're voted for Harris,
(32:48):
they voted for Gavindei is not recognized by a fireball
coming down your road. And for everyone that voted for
these people, they voted to be held in jeopardy. And
if all the houses that burnt down, Jeff, I hope
(33:10):
they're owned by these liberal bastard's part of my language.
But I have no sympathy for them because they will
take us down also with their idiotic beliefs. They vote
for these Martians, they vote for these people that are
in Africa rather than back home as the mayor of
La taking their taking care of their citizens that have
(33:33):
voted for and we paid for them. We have a
Martian in Boston as a mayor. She blew in I
think from Chicago after getting out of her college comedy days.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
Hey listen, Kuonerman.
Speaker 10 (33:45):
We were saved by people like you and I working
hard to get President Trump elected, or we would have
had one of these schools on a national level burning
down America.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
What say you, Oh, you're dead on.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You're absolutely dead on. And look I think this one.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Now you can tell this is a different fire or fires,
the severity, the areas that it's hitting. It's not low
income now, it's a lot of it is high income.
This is hitting the rich and famous. This is hitting Hollywood.
This is hitting many celebrities, and they're the ones who
really line the pockets and fund the campaigns of the
(34:28):
Gavin Newsom's and the Karen Basses and all of these
crazy woke liberals and moonbats that the people of California
and the voters keep reelecting again and again. But now
Hollywood leftists are starting to realize, Oh, we do live in.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
The real world.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Oh, these are the real life consequences of putting somebody
as incompetent as Bass as mayor or Newsome as governor.
Listen now, Victor, I want to get your reaction to this.
This is actor Zachary Levi Hope. I'm pronouncing his last
name correctly. You can see now Hollywood elites are now saying, whoa.
(35:11):
This is all at Gavin Newsom's feet and the dismal
mismanagement and leadership in Los Angeles. And the one that
they can't forgive them for is their refusal to divert
all of that clean water, billions billions of gallons of
water that they have in northern California. But to save
(35:33):
the stupid smelt, the species of fish no one ever
heard of, they dumped it all into the ocean, and
so there's no water to combat the fires. That's why
the fires are raging out of control. Listen now to
Zachary Levi saying they're criminally negligent. This was incompetence bordering
(35:57):
now on criminal negligence. Got fifteen, Mike.
Speaker 12 (36:04):
This is just incredible mismanagement, incredibly poor leadership. I would
go so far as to saying that it's criminally negligent, because,
I mean, Gavin Newsom has been either the governor for
five years or lieutenant governor prior to that for eight
nine years. Some of the worst fires we've ever had
in California under that watch, he clearly knows that the
(36:27):
biggest problem that we suffer in California are these fires
and by the way, the mudslides that follow, and for
them to do essentially not just nothing, but worse than nothing.
When firefighter budgets are being cut, when they are specifically
intentionally not doing the work that could be done to
avoid these problems or to be able to effectively serve
(36:50):
them when they are happening, we are losing. I mean,
I think it's something like millions of acres of feet
of water runoff from from rain and snow every year
in California.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
See that's what. Yes, southern California is more like a desert.
I mean you know this better than I do, Victor,
because you were stationed out there. But southern California it's
more like a desert climate.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
But northern California they have melting snow, They have a
lot of rainfall, a ton of rainfall, and so there's
reservoirs where they can store so much of this water
and these aquifiers and then divert it to southern California.
This is all intentional on the part of the leadership
(37:37):
because they're completely controlled and in bed with the globalist,
radical left environmentalist lobby. So they appease tree huggers and
they let the poor people of California now essentially see
their livelihoods, their businesses, and their homes be burnt to
the ground. My question to you, Victor, in some ways,
(38:00):
are the voters now getting what they voted for. You
vote di you vote Moonbat, you vote for woke, incompetent leaders.
You can't complain when it comes back to bite you
in the rear end?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Am I wrong? Victor?
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Yeah? One correct?
Speaker 11 (38:21):
And I want you listening to remember this comment here.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
The politicians want us living on our knees so they
can live on their thrones.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
And they will never ever serve us as citizens when
their political objective is more important than us. These I
met Offact, some burnt people, burnt to a Chris when
I was a METAFACT group chief overseas.
Speaker 10 (38:49):
And it is horrifying. And people in California right now
need to pass the word to everyone else in this
country that they're related to that they need to do
everything they can to keep these politicians on their toes
or get them the hell out of office. And thank
god we have President Trump. Thank you man, thank you Victor.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
January twentieth honestly can't come fast enough. Really, and again, look,
California is a sanctuary state.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Los Angeles and they're proud of it.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
In fact, the mayor, the city council they voted again
to you know, to stick it to thought, to stick
it to Trump's eye, to thumb you know, to thumb
their nose at Trump, the pokem in the eye. They
said again, they voted to reaffirm themselves as a sanctuary city. Well,
you have all these illegals pouring into California. They got
(39:44):
to give them welfare, food shelter, uh, social services, free education,
free healthcare. There's no money left in the budget. That's
why they're cutting. And they had to cut twenty team
or almost twenty million from the fire department budget. They
don't have enough firefighters, and even the firefighters that they
(40:09):
do have, now there's all kinds of complaints because they
keep pushing DEI, so they care more about people's skin color,
or their gender or really their sexual orientation that's the
big one, than they do about whether they're the most competent,
talented people for the job. And now they're saying there's
(40:31):
not enough firefighters, and many of the firefighters can't stand
up to the blazing wildfires because they promoted them over
their heads, over their abilities. Listen now to Leo Terrell
on Fox News saying, look, I don't wish people ill,
(40:52):
and I'm the same. I really don't. Look, it breaks
my heart to see these wildfires. It really does. And
I know there are many conservative in LA, many conservatives
in California who don't vote for any of this, So
you know, I feel very very bad for them, But
you know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Somebody has to say it. If you keep voting.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
For these crazy moonbats and you keep pushing diversity, equity inclusion,
well you're gonna get what you vote for. So in
a sense, the voters have no one to blame but themselves.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Roll cut thirteen, Mike.
Speaker 12 (41:32):
I hate to even ask this question by the President
ELECTUS too.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Oh my bad.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
I'm sorry, Mike, that was my mistake. Roll cut sixteen, Mike,
forgive me sixteen.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I want to be as clear as possible.
Speaker 13 (41:43):
This state has been hijacked by.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
The extreme left.
Speaker 13 (41:47):
Remember Karen Bath is the socialist mayor who said Castro
is a great guy. They focus on denying your responsibility
by yelle out climate change. I heard Karen Bath right
before the show. It's climate change.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
That's a lot.
Speaker 13 (42:01):
It's poor management on the part of the Democrats. They
do not look at fire prevention. What you said basic
forestry as a priority. It's climate change, it's ev mandate,
it's preventing oil. Really is THEI that VEI which is
so sickney?
Speaker 4 (42:21):
What does the EI have to.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Do with putting out fires?
Speaker 13 (42:23):
But you've got a city fire chief who thinks THEEI
is the number one issue.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
It's insulting and you know what, I.
Speaker 13 (42:30):
Blame the voter that I blame the media here, Sean,
you think the national media is biased. The local media
in California kiss the ring of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
They do nothing.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
It's like you're describing a Leo. It's like you're describing
the media in Massachusetts and in Boston. They're even worse
than the national media, if it's possible.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
But he's completely right.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Look, I just got to make one other super quick
point because the lines are jammed and I want to
obviously get to as many calls as possible. Leo Terrell
mentioned about poor forestry management, and this has been Trump's
point as well. It's not just that they're not diverting water.
How could you not divert water? To me, it's mind boggling. Okay,
it's insane, it's criminally negligent. But the underbrush, because every
(43:20):
year you have underbrush, the environmentalists saying.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
No, no, no, no, don't clean it up.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
No no, everything has to be on naturelle everything has
to be natural. No, you gotta save all the species. No, no,
leave the dry under bush alone. Well as every fire
prevention manager worth his or her salt says, that's the tinder.
(43:50):
The more underbrush you have, it's like gasoline or oil.
The moment of flame, a spark hits it, boom, and
then and it just takes off like wildfire, and it
just spreads and spreads and spreads because it's so dry.
So if you do proper forestry management, to hell with
(44:10):
the environmentalists, to hell with the smelt, to hell with
these little insects that they're obsessed with preserving, and you
actually clean out the underbrush as they used to do
in California, then you don't get these wildfires because they
can't feed off the underbrush, so they leave the dry
(44:31):
underbrush every year, which is why they keep getting more
and more wildfires. And then they won't have enough water
because they keep dumping it into the ocean to save
the stupid fish. So there's no water in the fire hydrants.
There's no water to even drop from the sky these
big bucket ships. There's no water. And now five people
(44:55):
are dead, and southern California is being burnt to ash.
Gavin Newsom is nowhere to be found, and Karen Bass
is in Africa, or was in Africa. And the fire
chief in La I Swear to you is saying we've
got to hire more lesbians, more gay people, more bisexual people,
(45:16):
more transsexual people. That that's the goal of the fire
department in LA. They don't have enough firefighters and they're
cutting the budget to take care of the illegals. And
people in California are now saying we're being run into
the ground like a third world hellhole. Well, now you're
going to look like a third world hell hole. Six
(45:38):
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number? Am I wrong? I want to hear from you?
Or do you agree with the COOONERMN Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Mike, who do
you want me to go to next? Barbara in Baltimore,
(45:58):
Thanks for holding Barber bruh, and as always, welcome.
Speaker 14 (46:03):
Good morning, and happy New Year to you. Not a
very happy occasion's happening in California. It's really sad. It's
a sad thing to see. But I do believe that
some of this is biblical. I think fire next time,
And there is one that's raging right now in a
(46:26):
place where a lot of things that I don't know
shouldn't happen happen. I just I felt really bad looking
at that those people's homes and seeing the anguish, and
some of them seem so close to the fire that
it was just unbelievable to me. But it's growth and competence.
(46:49):
Gavin Newsom should have been recalled and the people of
California have only themselves to blame. Larry Elder ran against him.
They could have had a good conservative running their state,
but they voted for the incompetence. And when I saw
that police chief on her interview, her priorities were all wrong.
(47:14):
You know, it really is sad to me that someone
in her position, all of them, in the position of authority,
are looking at everything except ability capability. Where are the
white men. Where are the strong white men who can
pick up someone with a guest, with their oxygen tank
(47:37):
on their back, all their equipment, and they can get somebody,
pick up a comrade, or pick up a wounded person
and carry them. Most of those women cannot do that.
And it's really it's a disservice to citizens for them
to use this DEI and you correctly said it, DEI
(47:59):
is really to die. You're gonna die for DEI because
a lot these people are incompetent. A lot of them
have jobs that they shouldn't have, and they're training. And
I looked at that room full of people that they
had in this training room. Look at how fat they were,
some of them all out of shape. They're not prepared
to go fight a fire. And then when they get
(48:21):
a fire, they have one like this, and because of
their stupidity, there's no water in the hydrants. How can
you have no water in the hydrants? It's a desert.
I've been to Southern it is beautiful. I went to
Pebble Beach, prettiest thing I ever seen. I picked up
some Mexican roses. I thought I could bring them back
to Maryland. They don't grow here, not those kinds. They're beautiful.
(48:47):
But to watch that state just go up and smoke
like that, it's a sad, sad thing, it really is.
And as long as you have sanctuary cities and states,
and this is what I live into, we're just blessed
that we don't have those kinds of catastrophes here. We
have other things that happen, and because of the incompetence,
(49:09):
we see it, but not as devastating as what's happening
out there, and it's going to continue if they don't
do something about it. I think President Trump is right
spot on. I love the way he's coming down on Gavin,
and I mean to his face even I saw where
he was at a meeting with him and letting you
know he's knights about it. But they're incompetent and they're
(49:34):
not equipped for the.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
Job, and they're shameless.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Jo Barbara, you're completely everything you say. You're not as
I like to say, you're not one hundred, you're a
thousand percent correct, and they're shameless. That to me is
what I just find incredible. You have this guy, Gavin,
you some I mean wildfires, out of control, raging everywhere.
The guy has been told for five years divert the
(50:01):
freaking water from northern California. It's not rocket science, man,
and the fires keep getting worse every year, worse and
worse and worse. There's not just no water in the hydrants,
there's no water in the hoses. You've got residential people
now in residential communities, in residential homes, saying, my house
(50:21):
is on fire. I try to turn the hose on,
there's no water in the hose. There's no water and
I'm like, oh my god, are you like seriously, like,
what is this Belarus? Like really, what is this Moldova?
Like you know, I know in Eastern Europe it's that bad.
But California, for God's sake, And he's start you know, oh,
(50:44):
Trump is playing politics, so.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
He's criticizing me.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
Oh pathetic, honestly pathetic. And Karen Bass, you're in Africa
while your city is burning, you cut the fire budget
to make room for more funding for illegals, and then
you come back and basically, now the whole place has
(51:08):
gone to hell. I mean everything is being burnt to
the ground. And then you're confronted by this journalist who's
just a reporter, who says, you know, why were you
in Africa, Like, don't you feel bad about that? Why
did you cut the fire budget? There's no firefighters. I
mean they're DEI firefighters, but you don't even have enough firefighters. Literally,
there's not enough firefighters. And she just like like it's.
Speaker 14 (51:30):
Like a wall.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
She just stands and looks into outer space. Barbara, we're
in trouble. I mean, thank the Lord, Trump is coming
to power in less than two weeks. But I got
to tell you if now you know why so many
people leave California. And that's you have to ask yourself California.
You look at the climate, you look at the weather,
(51:54):
you look at the just how beautiful it is.
