Natural Disaster or Woke Policies Run Amok?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, you want to see how entrenched diversity, equity,
inclusion DEI, Like I say, DEI leads to die, to die,
that's what it really leads to. You want to see
how deeply entrenched it is. Listen now, this is comedian

(00:23):
Adam Carolla saying, you know, really, things were getting so
bad in California. I said, I really want to become
a firefighter or volunteer as a firefighter, and so I applied.
And listen to what he was told. Remember, Adam Carolla
is a white male. Roll cut eighteen Mike.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I want to talk about my white privilege so badly.
I graduated North Hollywood High with a one point seven GPA.
I could not find a job. I walked to a
fire station in North Hollywood. I was nineteen. I was
living in the garage of my family home. My mom
was on welfare and food stamps. And I said, can
I get a job as a fireman? And they said no,

(01:08):
because you're not black, Hispanic or a woman. We'll see
in about seven years. And I went to a construction
site in Dug Ditches and picked up garbage for the
next seven years. I got a letter in the mail
sent to my father's house saying, your time has come
to do the written exam for the LA Fire Department.
I took it and I was standing in line, and

(01:30):
I had a young woman of color standing behind me line,
and I said, just out of curiosity, when did you
sign up to become a fire man? Because I did
it or a person seven years ago. And she said Wednesday,
that is an example of my white privilege.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
That was him mind theer.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
He was testifying about how the affirmative Action, the DEI
the woke lunacy that is plague in California, especially the
Fire Department of Los Angeles. So there you have it.
I mean it's right there. You're not looking for the
best person for the job. They clearly are saying, we've

(02:11):
got to hit targets. We want a certain percentage of
this group of that group. The big one now, as
I said, is LGBTQ plus pretty much in southern California,
if you claim to be gay or lesbian, or bisexual
or transgender or whatever, you can become a firefighter.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean, they will lower the bar and they'll even
make you the fire chief, and the fire chief then says,
our number one priority is diversity, equity, and inclusion. And
what's incredible is even as the city is burning to
the ground, that it's all a disaster. Recent interviews, she's

(02:53):
still going on about how it's diversity. What matters is diversity.
Look at how diverse firefighters are. I mean, none of
the blazers are contained and they can't battle the fires,
and there's no water in the fire hydrants. But that
doesn't and the budget was cut by nearly twenty million dollars,
so we don't have the personnel or the equipment, But boy,

(03:15):
are we diverse. Fire her ass Karen Bass should resign
on the spot. Gavin Usim as Trump has said, should
resign on the spot. Agree, disagree six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight. Mike, Who's next on

(03:37):
the board? Steven in the Great State of Maine. Thanks
for holding Steven and welcome.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Hey, good morning, Jeff, good to talk to you. I'm
really sorry about your dad, Thank you, thank you, Steven.
So yeah, so, just a couple of really quick notes here.
If you really want to get your blood boiling even more,
look at the actual interview of Kristin Crowley, she's the
fire chief out there. And I mean, and then and then,
you know, segue back to what you see on the news,
and it'll really make your blood boil. Were you aware

(04:07):
that just a few months ago a lot of insurance
companies actually pulled out of this area because the state
would not allow them to raise their rates. So a
lot of these people literally just lost their insurance within
the last few months.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Oh you know, I read that story. I mean, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
You're right, because again Gavin Newsom says, no, no, no, no,
We're going to control the prices. So they're like, well, okay,
if we can't raise our rates, I'm sorry. There are
so many wildfires. We're going to lose our shirts as
an insurance company. So we're just gonna start, you know,
we're gonna pull out. So they've literally lost their homes.
I mean, look, you know, Steve, we were just taking

(04:49):
I don't want to get too much into it, but
I went to my dad's home.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay, it was very emotional for me.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
A couple of days ago there was no fire, but
my dad passed away. And just see the pictures of
me and my dad together. When I was young, pictures
of me as a young boy that I didn't even
know existed. It brought tears to my eyes, and I
gathered them up, and I'm going to bring them with me.
I think we're leaving today back to Boston, and I said,

(05:16):
we're just going to bring all that I want. That
the sentimental value is tremendous. So I'm just thinking a
few pictures that I was able to find of me
and my father, especially when I was a young boy,
and how much that means to me. Never mind, God
forbid the whole house being burned to the ground and

(05:37):
there's no insurance. It's not even like you're going to
get money to rebuild it. I mean, Steve, this is
this is catastrophic, and this is a direct result of
the negligence, mismanagement, and arrogance of Gavin us Mend the Democrats.

(05:59):
I mean, I know they like the blamed the insurance companies,
but I mean, if they can't raise their rates and
you won't do anything to prevent the fires, and the
fires keep happening year after year after year, well I'm sorry,
what the inevitable's gonna happen? The insurance companies are gonna
say bye bye. I mean, Steve am I wrong.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
No, You're absolutely correct. This happened not long ago in
the state of New Hampshire. Governor Shaheen sat down with
a bunch of medical insurance companies, told them what they
were going to do, what they could charge, and most
of them pulled out, really limiting the amount of insurance
agencies that were available to New Hampshire residents. So, I mean,
this is just this is just an ongoing idiocy of

(06:38):
the left. They think they can just control everything like
their gods, and people are just getting tired of it.
And now these insurance companies pulled out of California. Who's
going to be on the hook for all of this?
What did they say last night? Is up to already
about fifty to sixty billion.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, fifty to sixty billion dollars. They think it could
go as high as one hundred billion dollars. Steven, California
is on fire. Our text line is on fire. You
can text us seven zero four seven zero seven zero
four seven zero. This is from six oh three, Jeff.
We should call Newsome Gavin Nero Newsome because he's playing

(07:21):
his fiddle while Southern California Burns very.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Well said six.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
So three, he really is fiddling while Southern while La Burns,
I mean, is it's heartbreaking?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Okay, listen now very quickly, because I want to go
back to the phone lines to show you this is
not rocket science.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
This was so predictable.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Look, as you know, I'm in Montreal putting the final
touches now on my dad's estate, his final wishes. I
want to respect all of his wishes. So I think
I'm heading back to Boston either today tomorrow at the
absolute latest.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's cold.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean it's I know it's cold in Boston and
across the Northeast, but I mean it's Canada, it's Montreal.
It's really cold. It's cold every year. And not only
is it cold, there's a lot of snow everywhere. Why
because it snows every year. The winters here are harsh. Now,
you don't need to be a rocket scientist. Do we

(08:21):
have enough snowplows? Do we have enough snow cleaning equipment?
Do we have enough crew members to make sure that
they can, you know, keep the streets clean and the
highway safe. You don't have to be a genius to
figure that out. You don't cut twenty percent or you're sorry,
twenty million or almost twenty million from the snow cleaning budget.

(08:43):
You're crazy if you do that. In Montreal, Canada. Okay, California,
Southern California, it's a desert climate. Hello, your number one
concern should be water. Listen now to then candidate Trump.
This is Trump months ago in October on the Joe

(09:08):
Rogan podcast, and Rogan, I think either has a home
or a part time lives in southern California. So you know,
wildfires and all of this. You know, it's a big
issue out there. So he's interested in what's Trump's position.
Listen to Trump. He predicted all of this months ago,

(09:29):
roll cut fourteen.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Mike water.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
You know in Los Angeles you can't get proper amounts
of water, and it's unbelievably expensive, and you might have
a house in Beverly Hills and they're actually thinking about
rationing water. Can you believe it. I was in the
farm Court country where some of the congressmen were driving
up highway and I say, how come all this land

(09:56):
is so barren? It's farmland and it looked terrible. Its
just brown and bad. I said, But there's always that
little corner that's so green and beautiful. They said, we
have no water. I said, do you have a drought. No,
we don't have a drought. I said, why don't you
have no water? Because the water isn't allowed to flow down.

(10:17):
It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way
up north, more water than they could have use. And
in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water
up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and
millions of gallons of water gets poured.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now, He goes on to say, it's gavin you some
and I've been telling you some. Why just keep the
water in the reservoirs, in the aquifers and just you know,
and then divert him and make sure that the hydrants
are full. And there's tons of water available in southern California,
and you can battle these wildfires. You can prevent the
dry land, you can prevent farmland from going dry and infertile.

(11:03):
He goes, there's you know, you've got tons of water,
so but instead no, because these idiots want to save
the smelt, because the smelt are more important than people.
You've got what is it now? The worst wildfire in
the history of Los Angeles, thousands of structures being burnt
to the ground, almost one hundred thousand people now evacuated,

(11:26):
five dead, and much of southern California being burnt.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
To ash to ash.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
And so far zero percent of these fires contained. They're
just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Six one seven
two six, six sixty eight sixty eight. Look, as the
actor said, this is criminal negligence.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
This really is. I mean, a child could figure this out.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Agree, disagree six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Mike, who do you want me to go to?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Next?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Janet in the great state of New Hampshire. Thanks for
holding Janet, and welcome.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
Hey Jeff, how are you good? Good?

Speaker 3 (12:18):
How are you Janet good?

Speaker 7 (12:20):
I have a couple of points to make on this.
I read where one of the houses in Malibu they
pay one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year in
property taxes. Property tax Yeah, property taxes for police, fire,
trash pickup and all that stuff. They've defunded the cops.
This homelessness, drug addicts everywhere, crime, and now the fire

(12:44):
issue where people are literally burning to death. I don't
know why people pay property taxes if they're not getting
the services, and I don't know why the voters would
put up with that. And also all the billions we're
spending on the Green new scam and DEI and all that.

(13:05):
No one can point to one metrics where anything has
improved after spending billions and billions of dollars on these hoaxes.
Nobody can show you where it's benefited the people. They
have no water in the hydrant, seventeen million dollars they
sent in firefighting equipment to Ukraine while their state burns.

(13:27):
It's insanity. Jeff and I agree with Victor. I blame
the voters because all this is going on, the quality
of their life is declining every single day. Their taxes
are going up. They can't get insurance because the costs
are too high. I think Gavin Newsom's aspirations for twenty
twenty eight just went up in flames. I'm so upset

(13:51):
with people allowing the abuse and the decay of our
society all in the name of DEI and climate change
and the Green new scam. It's making me crazy. I
can't believe people are accepting what is happening throughout this
entire country.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's just Janney, Janet.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'm going to answer your question in a slightly roundabout way,
but trust me, will all be very clear. It'll really
make sense because I have the answer for you. I've
dealt with these people my whole life, but I want
to personalize it because they won't be theoretical.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I think it'll be more. Oh, I get it.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
It'll be more, you know, more actual. People always ask
me when Bill in Sudbury calls, as an example, Okay,
moonback Bill, why do I let him talk for a
couple of minutes. Why do I put him on the
air Because I want people to hear a liberal mind,

(14:52):
the modern liberal, woke mind. And what you hear everybody says, Oh,
he's an idiot, he's a mo he keeps repeating the
same things over and over again. He's impervious to facts,
the truth, to evidence. That's the liberal mind. Think of
tens of millions of people in California who are Bill

(15:14):
in Sudbury, and you start to say, oh, that's why.
In answer to your question, taxes keep going up, quality
of life keeps going down, everything keeps getting worse, but
they keep voting for the Democrats over and over and
over again. Why Because Bill and Sudbury, as an example,

(15:41):
is a fanatic. You can hear it in his voice.
You can see the way he talks, how it's always
circular with him.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
He comes in with one fanatical.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Point and he won't let it go because for him,
it's a religion. You see, Janet, this is what people
don't understand. Liberalism is a religion. In fact, it be
more accurate, it's a cult. It's a fanatical cult. It's
their worldview. It gives them their meaning. So you see,

(16:13):
la can be burnt to the ground. But you know
what the bills in Sudbury care. Karen Bass is a
black female who's a lesbian.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, no, really, that's it. That's the accomplishment, that's the achievement.
But she's incompetent.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
We don't care. But she's negligent. We don't care.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
But she cut the fire department budget by nearly twenty
million dollars.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
You don't care. But she's in Africa and the city's burning.
We don't care.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
But she wouldn't push to have the water redirected and diverted.
I could have saved all our homes. They don't care,
Like really, they don't care. She's black, she's a woman,
she's a lesbian, DEEI.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
So once you understand that, think Islamic fundamentalist, Think Islamic extremist,
and you'll understand the modern leftist woke mind. An Islamic
terrorist or an Islamic fundamentalist doesn't care if everything around

(17:17):
him or her is going to hell. As long as
they live under Sharia law. As long as they live
under this woke DEEI socialist regime, the whole thing can
go to hell. Karen Bass is an open you can
look at up. Please, Janet, don't take my word for it.
She's an admirer of Fidel Castro, the communist, you know,

(17:39):
the late communist butcher of communist Cuba. You're an admirer
of that monster who ran Cuba into the destroyed Cuba,
and that's who they elect. Okay, I gotta say, the
audience absolutely killing it today.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Text line is.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I mean, it's not just heavy, heavy traffic coming in,
a lot of texts are pouring in, but you can
tell the audience is really really upset about what's happening
in southern California and Cooner Country. Frankly, I don't blame
any of you. Okay. This is from Stephen Miller. He
is going to be Trump's obviously top White House policymaker.

(18:24):
This is the statement that he has just released about
these catastrophic wildfires in California, and honestly, I think he
hit the nail right on the head.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Here's what he wrote. Quote.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
When you orient, when you orient every level of society
around social agendas, political agendas, ideological agendas, racial agendas, gender agendas,
everything but merit, competence, performance, and the national interest, it

(19:01):
will always end in catastrophe.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
He's completely right.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
What did California do under Newsom and under Karen Bass
and under that crazy fire chief that woke fire chief
in La. They pursued a radical social agenda DEI and
they slashed fire funding, as I said, by nearly twenty
million dollars. And now because of this, things are infinitely

(19:31):
worse than they would have been. There's no question, absolutely
no question. Okay, this is from six one seven. Jeff,
your previous caller from Maine was completely correct. State Farm,
one of the largest insurance companies in California, canceled one thousand,

(19:52):
six hundred policies in Pacific Palisades. That's where a lot
of the Hollywood rich and famous live last year because
California wouldn't allow them to raise premiums to cover their exposure.
But instead of fixing an immediate problem, Governor Nero Newsome

(20:16):
worked on quote unquote trump proofing his state to protect
illegal immigrants. Bingo, bingo. This is from two to two, Jeff.
Richest country in the world, richest state California in the world,

(20:36):
the county with the richest people in the world. And
there's no water. I mean, I mean that, think about it.
He's right completely here, she is completely right. Two oh
two is I mean a thousand percent correct. Richest country

(20:57):
in the world, richest state in the in the country,
and the richest county in the country, and they so
mismanage the state.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
There's no water.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I mean, this is this is third world Banana Republic stuff.
This is what you get when the moonbats run anything.
This is what you get when the Democrats run a state,
run a city, or run a county right into the ground. Baby, Okay,
one more and then I want to go right back

(21:31):
to the phone lines, Jeff. Californians are watching everything they've
worked for and Love burn to the ground. People in
North Carolina are still living intense because of Hurricane Helene.

(21:52):
And now Biden has just announced another five hundred million
dollars in Ukraine military aid. I saw, yeah, yeah, and Lehina.
You're right, Lehina. They're still recovering in Lehina. In Hawaii
from those wildfires of a couple of years ago, they
still haven't recovered. Now here's what's incredible. California is burning,

(22:22):
literally burning homes, gone, people, dead, businesses to ashes. Historic
Los Angeles Sunset Boulevard. You've got to see this in
downtown Hollywood. Okay, we're talking Hollywood now, people were so
caught by surprise by the surging, out of control wildfires.

(22:44):
They're leaving their cars in the middle of the road.
There's gridlock because they're just running out of their cars.
It's like out of a movie. Honestly, pardon the pund
but like out of a Hollywood movie, you know, ah
ah fire as the fire is engulfing everything. All of
this is happening. They can't have they can't get water.

(23:09):
And he just sent another five hundred mil to Ukraine.
That's his priority, is pumping another five hundred million into
that rat hole. And by the way, he sent another
last week, another one point two five billion in assistance

(23:29):
and military financial assistance and military aid to Ukraine. So
you see five hundred million, one point two five billion
for Ukraine. Again, the water spigot is never turns off
endless amounts of money. But if you're an American in

(23:50):
North Carolina Hurricane Helene months later, still living in a
tent in freezing temperatures, blank you. If you're in Lahina,
blank you. If you're in southern California, blank you. That
tells you everything you need to know. With Joe Biden,

(24:11):
it's always America and Americans last. I mean, this is disgusting.
I'm sorry, this is obscene. And the amazing thing you
get Bill and Sudbury to call in as an example,
or I don't care, Frank and Gloucester or Chris and

(24:32):
all the crazy moonbads, Joey, Joey, they vote for him again.
That's the thinking of the woke virus progressive mind. It's
that of a cult fanatic six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight. I'm gonna make a prediction

(24:55):
right now. You can hold me to it. Okay, even
After all of this, all of the mismanagement, all of
the incompetence, all of the corruption, all of the criminal negligence,
the destruction, the death, the decimation, the burning down of

(25:20):
some of the most beautiful parts of southern California, They're
still going to vote for the Democrats. I'm telling you.
You know, Barbara in Baltimore was completely right. There was
a recall on Gavin Newsom. They could have voted for
a brilliant man at Larry Elder. Larry Elder said, I
can fix all this. No more sanctuary cities, no more

(25:42):
illegals pouring into our state. Yeah, Tonzo water in northern California.
We're going to divert it all down there to southern California.
You don't have to worry about droughts or infertile farmland
or no water in fire hydrants. We're going to clear
out all that underbrush. There won't be wildfires, and if
there are wildfires, they're going to be small and they're
going to be contained. But they want the wildfires. See,

(26:09):
I think no one's opening that door. Did it ever
occur to people that deep down, Gavin, you some the
more wildfires and the more destruction and havoc the better.
Why Why Because they keep blaming everything on quote unquote
climate change. And if they can blame it on climate change,

(26:31):
oh my god, look at that Malibu burned to the ground,
Beverly Hills burned to the ground, Oh my god, climate change,
then that'll pave the way for the green New Deal
and for the new world order and for the socialist

(26:53):
transformation not just of America but what they want ultimately
the world. That's why they want to continue to foster
the myth.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Of climate change.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
So don't fix the problem, don't prevent these wildfires, don't
combat these wildfires. Make it worse and worse and worse,
and then say yes, say yesay, we gotta have electric
vehicles from China.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yes, say no fossil.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Fuels, no, no, no, no, no oil, no gas. It doesn't
matter that you destroy the modern economy in the middle class.
It doesn't matter we're all dying from wildfires. These people
are ideologically sick. And as Steven Miller puts, this is

(27:45):
exactly it's a Catastrophes are inevitable when you're not governed
by reality and by common sense and by ordinary decency
and compassion for your fellow citizens. But instead you're driven
by a Marxist far left wing, woke DEI agenda, communism

(28:06):
in a nutshell. Whatever communists touch, they destroy, and they're
on the verge now of destroying California.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Agree, disagree.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Jim in Boston, Thanks for holding Jim.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
And welcome.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
Good morning, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Hi Jim.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
I want to my deepest condolences to your parents. I'm
actually working through that myself now with my father.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I'm so sorry, Jim, I'm very sorry to hear that.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
So but God provided me as an EMT. I was
an EMT firefighter for sixteen years, so I'm in a
position where I have the training, so I'm going to
help take care of my data and his last days.
But my bigger point, Jeff is this started well into

(29:01):
the mid nineties, and I remember I had an opportunity
to go from the local fire department that I was
on to a job working at the nuclear power plant
as a firefighter senior director. This was back in nineteen
ninety two, ninety three. Now, if you know anything about

(29:22):
nuclear power plants, you have FBI backgrounds, you have CIA backgrounds.
There is a lot that goes into it. The process
takes approximately about sixteen to eighteen months of interrogation, I
called it. And the process started with abroute I want

(29:43):
to say, forty two candidates, and after the eighteen months
was up, it came down to the last four or
last three, and there was the final interview and they
said to me, the said, listen, you are extremely qualified

(30:05):
for the job. You have made it this far at
this time, we're going to hold your application pending the
applicant that we have chosen. And Jeff it was a
black female firefighter who had been relieved of her duties

(30:32):
on a fire department because she couldn't pass the physical agility. Now,
if anybody knows, and I'm sure there's a lot of
people out there that know what I'm about to say,
when you go into a burning building, or you go
into a situation where your life depends on the people

(30:53):
that surround you. When you go into a burning building,
you usually go in with three people. Well, and those
people you can't be questioning whether or not they're going
to stay in the burning building with you, whether they're
gonna whether they're gonna we foll it bailing out, Uh,
And it happens. It's a it's an extremely frightening situation,

(31:16):
and it takes training, and it takes mental strength and anguish,
and it takes physical strength and anguish. When you go
into a burning building, you only have those three people
that are with you and a fire hose. When that
situation arises you you can't be questioning whether or not

(31:39):
there is somebody behind you who is going to bail
out on you. Unfortunately, the standards within the fire academy
have been lessened to allow for female firefighters. That's not
to say that I am against it, because I am not.
There are some wrong female firefighters. I work side by

(32:03):
side with them, but this DEPI has been happening for
a long time.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
It drove me out.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
Of the fire service into civilian work. I am now
working as a crane operator.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I have.

Speaker 6 (32:21):
I have a skill that I you well.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
But those situations.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
AH have been reaping for a long time and we're
starting to see those seeds that we sowed are coming
to fruition, and unfortunately people are dying with the incompetence.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Well, Jimmy, no, Jimmy, I couldn't have said it better myself. Really,
I'm telling you, Look, they've been lowering standards and look again,
I agree with you. Really, I'm not saying this, you know,
to be politically correct. Really, I know there are female
firefighters who are extremely physically mentally strong and are able

(33:08):
to do the job.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I mean to me, if look, if a woman can
meet the standards that everyone else needs to meet, then
I have no problem, none whatsoever with a woman being
a firefighter. The problem is, as you nailed it, they
keep lowering standards. And the reason why they keep lowering standards.
You see, it's not enough to have say, fifteen to

(33:30):
twenty percent of a fire department be female for example. No, no, no, no,
this is why DEI.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Is so destructive.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
So fifty two percent of the population are women, we've
got to have fifty two percent of the fire department
be women. Okay, So how many of them are black? Okay,
so we are? How many of them are Latinos? How
many of them are Asian? How many of that?

Speaker 6 (33:52):
You know?

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Now they're pushing you know, the LGBTQ. So the point is,
now you're hiring people. Look again, I don't care black, white, brown, straight,
a gay male female. The point is, look, as Thomas
Sowell wrote, certain cultures, for whatever reason, whites, blacks, Latinos

(34:15):
radiate to certain different professions. You're never gonna have the
exact or, you know, the percentage of the population, say,
of blacks being certain professions and whites and certain professions
and Latinos in certain professions for whatever reason. But they're
trying to make it that it's social engineering. And so

(34:36):
what happens is people like you who are big, strong men,
physically tough, mentally tough, the kind of person I want
charging into a fire if my life.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Look, I'm two hundred and sixty pounds.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Seriously, if I'm trapped in a fire, I don't need
some skinny you know, transgend under Pacific islander. I'm just
making it up now, because they check the boxes. I
need someone who's gonna save my life, which means you
got to put me on your shoulders with all the
equipment of firefighter has battling a fire with you know,

(35:16):
you know, heat, fire explosions everywhere, and carry me and
my wife and my children.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
To safety.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Now, I'm sorry, those kinds of jobs are going to
be generally male dominated, why because of their natural physical
strength and size. Now, it doesn't mean you can't have
very good women firefighters. But to get to fifty two percent,
you've got to keep lowering the bar.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
And then you got to keep lowering the bar.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
If you got to say, well, then we got out
as many blacks as possible and as many Lati because
they're like, I don't really want to be a firefighter.
Oh but hold on, you're gonna pay me this much. Sure,
I'll be a firefighter. And then you start promoting people
like that fire chief in la who's a joke. Why
because she's a lesbian. Now again, I don't care if

(36:09):
you're a lesbian, but if they're promoting you because you're
a lesbian, yeah, I'm sorry. I don't want you then
as the fire chief because you're not competent. And this
is very this is a killer. This is a society killer.
DEI is poisoned. You Look, I want the best person

(36:31):
who's going to do open heart surgery on me. I
don't want DEI in the operating room. I don't want
DEI in the cockpit of an airplane. I don't want DEI.
God forbid, if my life is on the line in
the fire department, sorry, in the police department, or in
the fire department. So there are many, many, many professions

(36:53):
that if you apply DEI, you're crazy, You're insane. As
Steven Miller put it, it's gonna lead to catastrophe. It's inevitable,
like night follows day and day follows night. Now, look,
I'll be I'm against it. I always believe in the
best person for the job and a merit based society.
But if I'm to be candid with all of you,

(37:15):
like I'm in the living room, you know, some paper pusher,
some government bureaucrat, it's not life or death, whether they're
super competent or not super competent, or whether they use.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
DEI or not. But when you start playing around with
fire departments and police departments and the military and airlines
and pilots and doctors, and I could go on and on.
There's so many other vital professions, society cannot sustain itself.

(37:50):
And that's why if you notice, you're seeing the third
worldization of our country. All the standards have collapsed, and
we have lately incompetent people who are in positions of
power or their complete ideological nutjobs like Gavin Newsom, the

(38:12):
man is crazy. How do you stand there? Really?

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Seriously, Jimmy, I gotta ask you this. You're standing in
front of a raging wildfire where a human being has
just been charred to death, and some of the most
beautiful homes in the world are being burnt to the ground,
and there's no water in the fire hydrant because you

(38:36):
won't allow the water to come from up north. And
when somebody criticizes you saying why are you the one
who deliberately blocked the water from coming, and you start saying,
how dare you criticize me? There's something seriously wrong in
the head. I mean, I'm always really if I do

(39:00):
a show, I'm always doing a post wartem after every show.
I'm talking just a radio show. Did I handle that
caller correctly? Did I make this point well enough? Did
I linger on a topic too long? I'm always examining, questioning, reviewing,
criticizing this guy. You're directly responsible for one of the

(39:22):
greatest catastrophes in American history, and you're crying because you're
being criticized. Final word to you, Jimmy, we lost Jimmy. Okay, Well, Jimmy,
you made your point. Believe me, you made your point. No, look,
I'm going to get in trouble for saying this. But

(39:45):
if I'm not speaking the truth, what's the point of
me being behind this microphone? As I always say, I'm sorry.
I want toxic masculinity in a fire department.
